Rack Mount The Server - 8e6 Technologies R3000 Quick Start Manual

Rack Mount the Server

Rack Setup Precautions
if you have a 1U unit, you may wish to mount the unit in a rack.
Warning:
Before rack mounting the server, the physical environment should be set up to safely ac-
commodate the server. Be sure that:
• the weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Hazardous conditions may be
created by an uneven weight distribution.
• the rack will not tip over when the server is mounted, even when the unit is fully
extended from the rack.
• For a single rack installation, stabilizers are attached to the rack.
• For multiple rack installations, racks are coupled together.
• the rack is grounded and will maintain a reliable ground at all times.
• A power cord will be long enough to fit into the server when properly mounted in the
rack and will be able to supply power to the unit.
• the connection of the server to the power supply will not overload any circuits.
• the server is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
• The air flow through the server's fan or vents is not restricted.
• the maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C).
NOTE: Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component
from the rack.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
