Mounting System In Rack; Installing And Removing Modules - Intel MFSYS25 User Manual

The system can now be moved as required to aid in removal from packaging, installation
of the remaining modules in the system, or installation of the system in a rack.
Warning: If using the handles during rack installation, the rear handles must be removed prior to
setting the system on the rack rails to avoid interference of the handles with the rack. The
front handles must also be removed before sliding the system completely into the rack and
securing the front chassis tabs to the rack.

Mounting System in Rack

Please read the safety information at the beginning of this book before installing the
chassis in a rack.
Warning: If you have installed temporary handles to aid in moving and / or configuring the system,
you must remove the rear handles prior to setting the system on the rack rails to avoid
interference of the handles with the rack. The front handles must also be removed before
sliding the system completely into the rack and securing the front chassis tabs to the rack.
1. Review the safety and ESD information at the beginning of this manual and in the
appendices.
2. Identify the location within the rack where the server system is to be installed.
3. Install the rack mount rails as described in the rail installation instructions.
4. With compute modules, hard drives, power supply modules, I/O modules, and cooling
modules removed, and working with at least two people, slide the server system into
the rack so that it rests on the rack mounting rails.
5. Secure the server system in the rack as described in the rail installation instructions.
6. Install all compute modules, hard drives, power supply modules, I/O modules, and
cooling modules.

Installing and Removing Modules

1. Review the safety and ESD information at the beginning of this manual and in the
appendices.
2. The green color on components and labels in your chassis identifies hot-swap
components. You can install or remove hot-swap modules and hot plug compute
modules, with some restrictions, while the server system is powered on.
3. You do not need to disconnect the server system from power to install or replace any
of the hot-swap modules; however, to avoid data corruption, you must shut down the
operating system and power off the compute module before removing it from the
server system.
4. Hot-swap cooling modules must be replaced within one minute. All other hot-swap
and hot-plug components must be replaced within two minutes. Compute modules,
management modules, switch modules, storage controllers, power modules and
cooling modules should be replaced with a like component or a filler panel within two
minutes.
