Before You Begin; Understanding Power Requirements - Intergraph InterServe 8000 Setup Manual

Before You Begin

Review this chapter carefully before you attempt to set up an InterServe 8000. In addition:
u
Contact the local Intergraph support office if any items you ordered are missing or
damaged.
u
If using non-Intergraph cables with the system, ensure that they are shielded and
terminated on both ends. Intergraph-supplied cables are shielded to prevent excessive
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
u
If you need to return equipment for repair, it must be shipped in Intergraph-supplied
packaging for you to get warranty service. If you do not keep the original packaging
(pallet, boxes, and so on), you can order new packaging from Intergraph.
u
Follow the installation instructions explicitly to avoid personal injury and damage to the
server hardware.
If installing the system into a rack, note the following.
u
Set up the Intergraph rack using the Intergraph Rack Installation and Use document
delivered with the rack. Become familiar with the rack enclosure before installing the
system hardware.
u
Install the mounting equipment (shelves, rails, and so on) as described in the Rack
Support Hardware Installation document.
u
Do not push on or lean against the rack. The front and side stabilizer feet must be
extended at all times.
WARNING Do not install the InterServe base unit into a non-Intergraph rack. The Intergraph rack
is designed to support the weight of the base unit, and specially-designed shelves
from Intergraph must be used to mount the base unit into the rack.

Understanding Power Requirements

If using an external power source with your system, such as an AC distribution box or an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS), review the documentation delivered with the power
source. Also read Appendix A in this document, which describes the system's power
consumption. An external power source provides a limited amount of power to systems, so
you should understand its limitations before connecting the server and other components to
it.
