    Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture 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 tempera- ture (Tmra).

  • Page 20: Installing The System Into A Rack

    Installing the System into a Rack (Rack hardware optional) This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5015M-MR(+)/ 5015M-MF(+) into a rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Basic Installation Procedure The 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on each side at the front of the chassis.

  • Page 21: Installing With Rackmount Kit

    Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing with Rackmount Kit This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8). Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-2). This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit.

  • Page 22: Installing The Rack Rails

    [5015M-MR(+) shown] Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed rack rail/slid- ing rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.

  • Page 33: Chapter 4: System Safety

    Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) from damage: Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet.

  • Page 34: General Safety Precautions

    Contact technical support for details and support. General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the SuperServer 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) weighs approximately 23/16.5 lbs. (10.5/7.5 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.

  • Page 35: Esd Precautions

    After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.

  • Page 36: Operating Precautions

    Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 5015M- MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 5015M-MR(+)/5015M-MF(+) system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
