Chapter 2.
INSTALLATION AND SETUP
This chapter provides the basic instructions for installing and setting up the NVIDIA
RTX Blade Server.
2.1. Choosing a Setup Location / Site Preparation
Decide on a suitable location for setting up and operating the RTX Blade Server. The
location should be clean, dust-free, and well ventilated.
General Conditions
‣
Prepare a sufficiently wide aisle to accommodate the unboxed chassis (chassis
dimensions - 17.6" (447 mm) W x 31.3" (795 mm) D x 13.82" (351 mm) H ).
The rack doors should fully open and not obstruct the path of the server as it is
installed.
‣
The rack must accommodate a 300 lb, 8U rack mount system (chassis dimensions -
17.6" (447 mm) W x 31.3" (795 mm) D x 13.82" (351 mm) H).
The rail assemblies shipped with the server fit into a standard 19" rack between 29-
inches and 36.5-inches deep (73.66 cm to 92.71 cm).
‣
The rack can have either square or round mounting holes.
‣
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack (36" (91.4 cm)) to enable you to install
the unit into the rack and to service the blades.
‣
Leave approximately 20" (76.2cm) of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing components such as power supplies, fans,
switches, and the CMM.
‣
Always make sure the rack is secured and stable before adding or removing the
appliance or any other component.
‣
Prepare adequate sound-proofing: The equipment fans can generate 72-100 dBA.
