Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a rack. 2.1 Preparing for Setup The box in which the system was shipped should include the hardware needed to install it into the rack.
SuperStorage Server 6048R-E1CR90L User's Manual Server Precautions • Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 3. • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. • Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your way up.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.). To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
SuperStorage Server 6048R-E1CR90L User's Manual 2.2 Installing the Rails There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack. This rail set fits a rack between 28" and 34"...
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Releasing the Inner Rail To mount the rails onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. Each inner rail has a locking latch that prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
SuperStorage Server 6048R-E1CR90L User's Manual Installing the Inner Rails Install the inner rails onto the chassis. 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the mushroom pins on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack The outer rail is actually two parts that slide to lengthen the rail. Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with round pegs to fit into your rack holes. The left and right rail and the front and rear of each rail is labeled.
SuperStorage Server 6048R-E1CR90L User's Manual 2.3 Installing the Chassis into a Rack Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server. Caution! The chassis is heavy. Mount or remove the chassis using sufficient personel and/or a lift.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Figure 2-6. Installing the Server into the Rack Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes. Always install servers from the bottom up. Removing the Chassis from the Rack To remove the chassis from the rack, use the previous procedure, "Releasing the Inner Rail." Caution! The loaded chassis is heavy.
SuperStorage Server 6048R-E1CR90L User's Manual Removing the Outer Rails from the Rack If you want to move or remove the outer rails from the rack, first remove the server completely. 1. Push the middle rail fully into the outer rail. There is a small locking tab on the inside of the middle rail.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack 2.4 Assembling the Cable Management Arm The SC946E1C chassis supports a cable management arm (CMA) which helps to keep the cables organized and clear of the rack and rail mechanisms. The swing arm functionality of the cable management arm keeps the cables clear while maintenance is being performed on the system.
