Page 21: Rack Mounting Considerations
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 22: Installing The System Into A Rack
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails You may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 6014V-M4. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails.
Page 23: Installing The Rack Rails
Figure 2-1. Installing Rear Inner Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6014V-M4 in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
Page 24: Installing The Server Into The Rack
UPER ERVER 6014V-M4 User's Manual 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.
Page 25: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 6014V-M4 into a Telco type rack, follow the di- rections given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack.
Page 26: Checking The Serverboard Setup
ERVER 6014V-M4 User's Manual Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 6014V-M4 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. 1. Accessing the inside of the system (Figure 2-4) First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

Page 29: Chapter 3: System Interface
System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of speciﬁ c components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply.

Page 33: Chapter 4: System Safety
Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6014V-M4 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
General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the SuperServer 6014V-M4 clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 6014V-M4 weighs approximately 38 lbs (~17.3 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
ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Page 36: Operating Precautions
Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6014V-M4 is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6014V-M4 system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
