System reliability considerations
Working inside a server/workstation with power on
Rack installation
•
For a list of supported options for the server/workstation, refer to
http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.
•
For your convenience during setup and service you might want to have a
separate location where you can temporarily connect the server/workstation to a
power source (using a separate power cord), keyboard, monitor, and mouse
(using a separate C2T device breakout cable). Additional C2T cables are available
in the cable option kit.
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure:
•
Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
•
The cover is in place during normal operations, or is removed for no longer than
30 minutes while the server/workstation is operating.
•
There is space around the server/workstation to allow the server/workstation
cooling system to work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the
front and rear of the server/workstation.
•
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions provided
with the adapters.
•
A failed fan is replaced within 48 hours.
Your server/workstation is designed to operate safely while turned on with the cover
removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server/workstation that is
turned on:
•
Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts before
working inside the server/workstation; do not wear cuff links while you are
working inside the server/workstation.
•
Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server/workstation.
•
Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, rings, necklaces, and loose-fitting wrist
watches.
•
Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or pencils) that could fall into
the server/workstation as you lean over it.
•
Take care to avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hair pins, or
screws, into the server/workstation.
Do the following to install the server/workstation in the rack. Reverse the steps to
remove the server/workstation from the rack.
1.
Lift and place the server/workstation on the lower edge of the mounting bracket.
2.
Slide the server/workstation as far back as it will go.
