Chapter 2: Server Installation • Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling. Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.
Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Basic Installation Procedure The 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation: depress the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position then pull the two rails completely apart.
UPER ERVER 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Rack: w/ Rackmount Kit Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the server into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack.
Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack: Basic Checking the Motherboard Setup After you install the 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
