    Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the SuperServer 6013P-8+ into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6013P-8+ into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6013P-8+ has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

  • Page 22: Installing The Outer Rails

    UPER ERVER 6013P-8+ Manual Installing the Outer Rails Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.

  • Page 23: Installing The Server Into The Rack

    Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing 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 into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).

Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up. IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
  • Page 39 4. Place the heatsink directly on the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the chassis. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat on the CPU - if not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade the heat dissipation function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to overheat.
