Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 2027TR-D70RF(+) up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled.
SUPERSERVER 2027TR-D70RF(+) USER'S MANUAL • This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like). • This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
SUPERSERVER 2027TR-D70RF(+) 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
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.
SUPERSERVER 2027TR-D70RF(+) USER'S MANUAL Installing The Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails (Figure 2-3 and Figure 2-4) 1. Confirm that the left and right inner rails have been correctly identified. 2. 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 Installing the Outer Rails on the Rack Installing the Outer Rails (Figure 2-5) 1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. 2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail. 3.
SUPERSERVER 2027TR-D70RF(+) USER'S MANUAL Standard Chassis Installation Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-6) 1. Confirm that the inner rails are properly installed on the chassis. 2. Confirm that the outer rails are correctly installed on the rack. 3. Pull the middle rail out from the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball-bearing shuttle is at the front locking position of the middle rail.
Chapter 2: Server Installation 7. If necessary for security purposes, use screws to secure the chassis handles to the front of the rack. Optional Quick Installation Method The following quick installation method may be used to install the chassis onto a rack.
