SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: 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 39 for details on installing those specific components.
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: 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 SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation 2.2 Preparing for Setup The box in which the SSG-222B-NE3X24R 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 SSG-222B-NE3X24R: 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 SSG-222B-NE3X24R: 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 SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation 2.3 Installing the Rails This section provides information on installing the CSE-246E3-R000NP 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.
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the CSE-246E3-R000NP 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 SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rails onto the Chassis Begin the rack mounting procedure by installing the inner rails to the CSE-246E3-R000NP chassis. 1. Confirm that the left and right inner rails have been correctly identified. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the pins on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Page 36
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation 1. Loosen the adjusting screw to allow the rear section to slide in the front section. 2. Push the small hooks on the front section of the rail into the holes on the front post of the rack and then down, until the spring-loaded pegs snap into the rack holes.
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation 2.4 Installing Chassis into a Rack Slide the chassis into the rack so that the bottom of the SSG-222B-NE3X24R server slides onto the bottom lip of the rails. Important: Use caution when mounting or removing the system from the rack. For large systems, at least one other person must assist during installation or removal.
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Server Installation Removing the Chassis from the Rack Important: Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
SuperServer SSG-222B-NE3X24R: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components for the SSG-222B-NE3X24R server.
