A+ SERVER 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF USER'S MANUAL Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Locking Tabs Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
A+ SERVER 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF USER'S MANUAL Installing The Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Confirm that the left and right inner rails have been correctly identified. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-5. Extending and Releasing the Outer Rails L-min=676.00(26.61")(outer rail) 21D01 Installing the Outer Rails on the Rack Installing the Outer Rails 1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. 2.
A+ SERVER 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF USER'S MANUAL Standard Chassis Installation Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. Accessing the inside of the System...
Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heat sink installation. 2. Your 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview Several buttons and LEDs indicate the status of the system. There are four control panels, two on each side of the front edges of the chassis, that each monitor the associated computing node. There are also LEDs on the drive carriers that indicate the status of the drive.
A+ SERVER 2022TG-HLIBQRF/HLTRF USER'S MANUAL Control Panel Buttons There are two push-buttons on each control panel on the front of the chassis. They controll the computing node associated with that control panel. Power: The main power switch applies or removes power to the node from the power supply.
Chapter 3: System Interface Alert: The Informational LED signals status alerts. Informational LED State Description An overheat condition has occured. Continuously on and red (This may be caused by cable congestion). Blinking red (1Hz) Fan failure, check for an inoperative fan. Blinking red (0.25Hz) Power failure, check for a non-operational power supply.
