Operations 4 Operations 4.1 Power up the Server Insert the power cord plug, then press the Power Button. 4.2 Power down the Server WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power Button does not completely shut off system power.
4.4 Remove the Access Panel WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, air baffle, or fan installed.
Operations 4.5 Install the Access Panel Place the access panel on top of the server with the hood latch open. Allow the panel to extend past the rear of the server. Push down on the hood latch. The access panel slides to a closed position. Use the screwdriver to tighten the security screw on the hood latch.
heavy and requires two people to lift. 4.8 Remove the IO BOX Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the handle of the IO BOX. Open the handle outwards and pull the IO BOX out of the chassis.
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks. Inspur Servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.

adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). • Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in). 5.1.2 Temperature Requirements To ensure continued safe and reliable equipment operation, install or position the system in a well-ventilated, climate-controlled environment.
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Inspur recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
• The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage when unloading a rack: •...
5.6 Installing the Operating System To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest information on supported operating systems, refer to the Inspur website (http://www. inspur.com/eportal/ui?pageId=2317460). To install the operating system on the server, you can download from the official website...
6 Hardware Options Installation 6.1 Overview If more than one option is being installed, read the installation instructions for all the hardware options and identify similar steps to streamline the installation process. WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.
