3-2
Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperBlade was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the
carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperBlade. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,
electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed
near a grounded power outlet. Read the
the next section.
The box the SuperBlade was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
handles and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack.
Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum
amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the
installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
The following are important considerations for choosing a setup location:
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to remove the blade units
(~25 inches).
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the behind or to the rear of the rack
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
•
This product is intended for installation only in a Restricted Access Location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like). This is because the
SuperBlade enclosure does not provide any physical security measures.
•
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according
to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
