Rack installation instructions
Review the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. Before
you install the server in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:
v Two or more people are required to install devices 2U or larger in a rack cabinet.
v One or more people are required to install devices 1U or larger in a rack cabinet.
v Make sure that the room air temperature is below 40°C (104°F).
v Do not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.
v Do not leave open spaces above or below an installed server in your rack cabinet. To help prevent
damage to server components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open space and to help
ensure proper air circulation.
v Install the server only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Always install the tip plates on the rack.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
v Connect the server to a properly grounded outlet.
v Do not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack cabinet.
v Install the server in a rack that meets the following requirements:
– Minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in.) between the front mounting flange and inside of the front door.
– Minimum depth of 157 mm (6.18 in.) between the rear mounting flange and inside of the rear door.
Use safe practices when lifting.
Do not place any objects on top of
rack-mounted devices.
Notes:
1. When you install a 2U server, be sure to install the rails in the bottom U of the 2U area in the rack.
2. Cage nuts and clip nuts may be required to install the server in a rack cabinet.
3. Your server might look different from the servers that are illustrated, and some parts of the rack
installation kit might not be used.
