Rack Installation
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running. Following
these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a
minimum amount of time.
4.1
Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
If the chassis itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who
delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be situated
in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power
outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and System Precautions in the next section.
4.2
Preparing for Setup
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail
mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack.
Note:
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in
the sections that follow.

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (approximately 25 inches).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient
airflow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a restricted access location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets and the like).
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor
with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously
may cause the rack to become unstable.
Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you
are adding to your chassis.
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
Install the heaviest system components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
Use a regulating uninterruptable power supply (UPS) to protect the system from power
surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components closed when not
servicing to maintain proper cooling.
