Installing The Studioz Rax - Intergraph StudioZ RAX System Reference Manual

3 Installing the StudioZ RAX

This chapter provides instructions for StudioZ RAX equipment into the Intergraph rack. The
equipment is secured in the Intergraph rack along the side mounting posts, which have industry
standard 7.1 mm diameter mounting holes along the edge. The mounting posts have small round
markers to designate each vertical unit. There are three mounting holes per U, and at every 4 U there is
a small square marker. The total vertical mounting height within the rack is 40 U.
WARNING Follow the installation instructions explicitly to avoid personal injury and damage to the server
hardware.
CAUTION To keep the rack from moving, ensure the front and side stabilizers are fully engaged and the feet are
lowered to the floor before installing equipment into the rack.
NOTE Do not start the system until it has been completely set up. After setup is complete, refer to the System
Setup for startup and configuration instructions.
The system components should be installed in the following order:
u
InterRAID-8 disk array cabinet
u
StudioZ RAX base unit
u
RAID disk drives
u
System power and data cables
u
Rack cable handlers
u
Accessory components
Note the following points before installing equipment into the rack:
u
The rack must be properly set up before placing any equipment into the rack. If installing the
equipment into an Intergraph rack, follow the instructions in Intergraph Rack Installation and Use
(DHA0194x) supplied with the rack.
u
Do not start the system until it has been completely set up. After setup is complete, refer to the
System Setup for startup and configuration instructions.
u
As equipment is installed into the rack, some components may not align properly with the holes in
the mounting posts. If this occurs, known as tolerance buildup, you should loosen screws and
adjust support rails and shelves where necessary so the weight of the component is supported by
the mounting posts, rather than the component underneath.
