    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

    Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Basic Installation Procedure The 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
  • Page 21 Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing with Rackmount Kit This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (MCP-290- 00004-03). 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 2-1).
  • Page 22 Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
  • Page 23 (w/ Optional Rackmount Kit) Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP into a Telco type rack, follow the directions 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 33: Chapter 4: System Safety

    Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP 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

    Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the server clean and free of clutter. The 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP weighs approximately 18 lbs (8.2 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

    Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6015V-MR/6015V-MRLP system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1. Installing the Onboard Battery...
