reliminary Unpack the Unit from the Carton Inspect the packaging container for evidence of mishandling during transit. If the packag- ing container is damaged, photograph it for reference. Carefully unpack the unit from the carton and verify that all accessories are included. Save all packing materials in the event that the unit needs to be returned to 8e6 Tech- nologies.
Select a Site for the Server The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site that meets the following criteria: • Clean and relatively free of excess dust. • Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the server kept free of obstructions.
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. Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
Rack Mount Instructions for HL Servers Rack Setup Suggestions • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. • Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work Identify the Sections of the Rack Rails You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the 8e6 server unit.
Page 12
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully ex- tended from the rack.
Page 13
Install the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server chassis into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Page 14
Install the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the 8e6 server unit into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will ex- tend out the front of the rack.

Rack Mount Instructions for MSA Servers Optional: Install the Chassis Rails NOTE: If your chassis does not come with chassis rails, please follow the procedure listed on the last page of this sub-section to install the unit directly into the rack. CAUTION: Please make sure that the chassis covers and chassis rails are installed on the chassis before you install the chassis into the rack.
Page 19
3. Locate the three holes on each side of the chassis and locate the three correspond- ing holes on each of the inner rail. 4. Attach an inner rail to each side of the chassis and secure the inner rail to the chas- sis by inserting three Type G screws through the holes on each side of the chassis and the inner rail.
Page 20
Optional: Install the Traditional UP Racks After you have installed the inner rails on the chassis, you are ready to install the outer rails of rail assemblies to the rack. NOTE: The rails are designed to fit in the racks with the depth of 28” to 33”. •...
Page 21
7. Slide the chassis into the rack as shown below. NOTE: The chassis may not slide into the rack smoothly or easily when installed the first time. Some adjustment to the slide assemblies might be needed for easy installation. 8. You will need to release the safety taps on both sides of the chassis in order to com- pletely remove the chassis out of the rack.

Install the Chassis into the Rack CAUTION: Before installing the chassis into the rack: • Make sure that the rack is securely anchored onto an unmovable surface or structure before installing the chassis into the rack. • Unplug power cord(s) of the rack before installing the chassis into the rack. •...
Page 26
Install the SL or HL Server Bezel After rack mounting an SL or HL server, the bezel should be installed on the front end of the chassis. NOTE: This portion of the installation process requires you to unpack the bezel. The bezel has been packaged separately from the unit to prevent damage during shipping.
Check the Power Supply This server is equipped with a universal power supply that handles 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. A standard power cord interface (IEC 950) facilitates power plugs that are suitable for most European, North American, and Pacific Rim countries. Power Supply Precautions Warning: •...
WARNING: If the server is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the server may be impaired. WARNING: 8e6 Technologies is not responsible for regulatory compliance of any server that has been modified. Altering the server’s enclosure in any way other than the installation operations specified in this document may invalidate the server’s safety certifications.
• Do not expose the server to rain or use near water. If liquids of any kind should leak into the chassis, power down the server, unplug it, and contact 8e6 Technologies technical support. • Disconnect power from the server before cleaning the unit. Do not use liquid or aero- sol cleaners.
Motherboard Battery Precautions Caution: The battery on the motherboard should not be replaced without following instructions provided by the manufacturer. Only qualified service personnel should replace batteries. The battery contains energy and, as with all batteries, a malfunction can cause heat, smoke, or fire, release toxic materials, or cause burns.
