Installing The Server Into A Rack; Determining The Location - IBM PowerLinux 7R2 Installing

Installing the server into a rack

With the rack installed, you must install your server into the rack and set up the cable-management arm.
Note: If present, use the rack-mount template to perform these tasks.

Determining the location

You might need to determine where to install the system in the rack. Use this procedure to perform this
task.
Before installing the system unit into a rack, complete the following steps:
1. Read the Rack safety notices (http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/systems/scope/hw/topic/
p7hbfl/racksafety.htm).
2. Plan where to place the system units. Place the larger and heavier system units in the lower part of
the rack.
This system unit is two Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units high. An EIA unit is 44.45 mm (1.75
in.) in height. The rack contains three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This system unit
therefore, is 88.9 mm (3.5 in.) high and covers 6 mounting holes in the rack.
3. If necessary, remove the filler panels to allow access to the inside of the rack enclosure where you
plan to place the unit, as shown in Figure 1 on page 4.
4. If necessary, remove the front and rear rack doors.
