SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation Chapter 2: Server Installation This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your server in a server rack. If your server is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory, etc., refer to "Maintenance and Component Installation" on page 44 for details on installing those specific components.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 2.1 Unpacking the System Inspect the box the server was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 2.2 Preparing for Setup The box in which the SYS- 122C- TN server was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to install it into the rack. Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure. Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 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 room's ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 2.3 Installing the Rails This section provides information on installing the CSE-DC101TS-R000NP1 chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the CSE-DC101TS-R000NP1 chassis from coming completely out of the rack when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rails onto the Chassis Important: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only. Begin the rack mounting procedure by installing the inner rails to the CSE-DC101TS-R000NP1 chassis.
Page 40
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 1. Confirm that the left and right outer rails have been correctly identified. 2. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. Figure 2-4. Press the Locking Tab 3. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
Page 41
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 5. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the rack. Figure 2-6. Adjust the Outer Rail 6. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the rack.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation 2.4 Installing the Chassis into a Rack Once rails are attached to the CSE-DC101TS-R000NP1 chassis and the rack, you can install the server. Important: Use caution when mounting or removing the system from the rack. For large systems, at least one other person should assist during installation or removal.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Server Installation Removing the Chassis from the Rack Important: 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. Use a lift.
SuperServer SYS-122C-TN: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components for the SYS-122C-TN server.
