Rack Installation
2.1
Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to install the server into a rack.
2.2
Unpacking the System
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your server. It should be situated in a
clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need to place it near a grounded power outlet.
2.3
Preparing for Setup
The box your server was shipped in should include two 19" chassis rails and the mounting
bolts/screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety
before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and
the HRB001 server from damage.
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the server as well as the room's
emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical
accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
The server has more than one power supply. All connections to the power supplies must be
removed to de-energize the unit.
2.3.1
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25
inches).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow.
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (for example dedicated
equipment rooms).
2.3.2
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the levelling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full
weight of the rack resting on them.
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause
the rack to become unstable.
