Rack Mount the Server
Rack Setup Precautions
Warning:
Before rack mounting the server, the physical environment should be set up to safely ac-
commodate the server. Be sure that:
•
The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Hazardous conditions may be
created by an uneven weight distribution.
•
The rack will not tip over when the server is mounted, even when the unit is fully
extended from the rack.
•
For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.
•
For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.
•
The rack is grounded and will maintain a reliable ground at all times.
•
A power cord will be long enough to fit into the server when properly mounted in the
rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.
•
The connection of the server to the power supply will not overload any circuits.
•
The server is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
•
The air flow through the server's fan or vents is not restricted.
•
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
NOTE: Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
