If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 3 for details on installing those specific components.
Chapter 2: Server Installation • This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units. Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that the full weight of the rack rests on them.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Airflow Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Mechanical Loading Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Chapter 2: Server Installation 2.4 Installing the Rails There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. This rail set fits a rack between 26.8" and 36.4" deep. The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting hardware provided.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. 1.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rails on the Server Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with hooks and square, spring-loaded pegs to fit into the square holes in your rack. Installing the Outer Rail 1.
Chapter 2: Server Installation 2.5 Installing the Server into a Rack Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server. Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to support the chassis during installation.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Removing the Server from the Rack Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 3 Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given. Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 3.2 Accessing the System The chassis features a removable top cover for access to the internal components. Removing the Chassis Cover 1. Remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1. 2. Remove the screws securing the cover to the chassis. 3.
