Rack and Server Installation Guidelines

Follow the guidelines in Chapter 2, "Planning the Server Installation," to plan an
optimum environment and to install the server in a rack properly and safely. Be
aware of all rack and server warnings listed in the Chapter and throughout this guide.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the rack meets all recommended space and airflow requirements
for the server.
Install any optional hardware components before installing and powering up the
server for the first time. Refer to Chapter 3, "Installing Hardware Options," for
instructions on installing memory, processors, hot-plug and non-hot-plug expansion
boards, and other major hardware options.

Server Installation Procedures

To install the rack server into a rack, complete all of the installation procedures.
CAUTION: For Series 7000 racks, you must install highly ventilated rack door
inserts to provide proper front-to-back airflow and cooling.

Measuring with the Template

The rack template provides an easy and reliable way to properly position the fixed
rack rails in the rack.
Use the template to identify the proper locations for inserting rack rails. Mark the
rack from the top and bottom edges of the template to identify where the server fits
and to provide a starting point for installing the next unit.
CAUTION: Always begin by mounting the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack.
Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
