  • 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 temperature 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 temperature (Tmra).

  • Page 22: Installing The 6033P-8R Into A Rack

    This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6033P-8R into a rack unit. If the 6033P-8R 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 23: Installing The Chassis Rails

    Position one of the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the 6033P-8R. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Locate the five rail buttons on each side of the chassis and the five corresponding holes on each of the inner rails.

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 6033P-8R clean and free of clutter. ! The SuperServer 6033P-8R weighs approximately 75 lbs (34.1 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

    Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6033P-8R is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6033P-8R system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
  • Page 37 Advanced Serverboard Setup This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X5DP8-G2 serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.
