Select a Site for the Server
The server operates reliably within normal ofce environmental limits. Select a site that
meets the following criteria:
Clean and relatively free of excess dust.
•
Well-ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the
•
server kept free of obstructions.
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
•
Isolated from strong electromagnetic elds and noise caused by electrical devices
•
such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors,
radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices.
Access space provided so the server power cord can be unplugged from the power
•
supply or the wall outlet—this is the only way to remove the AC power cord from the
server.
Clearance provided for cooling and airow: Approximately 30 inches (76.2 cm) in the
•
back and 25 inches (63.5 cm) in the front.
Located near a properly earthed, grounded, power outlet.
•

Rack Mount the Server
Rack Setup Precautions
Warning:
Before rack mounting the server, the physical environment should be set up to safely accommodate the server. Be sure that:
The weight of all units in the rack is evenly distributed. Mounting of the equipment in
•
the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven
mechanical loading.
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.
•
Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment is maintained at all times. Particular
•
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
A power cord will be long enough to t 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. Con-
•
sideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
The server is only connected to a properly rated supply circuit. Reliable earthing
•
(grounding) of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
The air ow through the server’s fan or vents is not restricted. Installation of the
•
equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air ow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
The maximum operating ambient temperature does not exceed 104°F (40°C). If
•
installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature
of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specied by the manufacturer.
WARNING: Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more
components simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Rack Mount Instructions for SL Servers
Rack Setup Suggestions
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then work
•
up.
Install the Inner Slides
1. Locate the right inner slide, (the slide that will be used on the right side of chassis
when facing the front panel of the chassis).
2. Align the four (4) square holes on the right inner slide against the hooks on the right
side of the chassis as show below on the left.
3. Securely attach the slide to the chassis with two M4 at head screws and repeat the
steps 1-3 to install the left inner slide to the left side of the chassis.
Install the Outer Slides
1. Measure the distance from the front rail of the rack to the rear rail of the rack.
2. Attach a short bracket to the rear side of the right outer slide, and a long bracket to
the front side of the right outer slide as shown above on the right.
3. Adjust the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the chassis can
snugly t into the rack.
4. Secure the slides to the cabinet with screws.
5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer slide.
8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide 7
Install the Slide Assemblies to the Rack
1. After you have installed the short and long brackets to the outer slides, you are
ready to install the whole slide assemblies (outer slides with short and long brackets
attached) to the rack. (See the previous page.)
2. Use M5 screws and washers to secure the slide assemblies into the rack as shown
below:
8 8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide
Install the Chassis into the Rack
1. Push the inner slides, which are attached to the chassis, into the grooves of the outer
slide assemblies that are installed in the rack as shown below:
2. Push the chassis all the way to the back of the outer slide assemblies as shown below:

Rack Mount Instructions for MSA Servers
Optional: Install the Chassis Rails
NOTE: If your chassis does not come with chassis rails, please follow the
procedure listed on the last page of this sub-section to install the unit directly into
the rack.
CAUTION: Please make sure that the chassis covers and chassis rails are
installed on the chassis before you install the chassis into the rack. To avoid
personal injury and property damage, please carefully follow all the safety steps
listed below:
Before installing the chassis rails:
• Close the chassis using the chassis cover.
• Unplug the AC power cord(s).
• Remove all external devices and connectors.
1. Included in the shipping package are a pair of rail assemblies. In each rail assembly,
locate the inner rail and the outer rail.
2. Press the locking tab to release the inner rail from its locking position and pull out the
inner rail from the rail assembly.
NOTE: The inner rails are to be attached to the chassis and the outer rails are
to be installed in the rack.
10 8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide
3. Locate the three holes on each side of the chassis and locate the three correspond-
ing holes on each of the inner rail.
4. Attach an inner rail to each side of the chassis and secure the inner rail to the chas-
sis by inserting three Type G screws through the holes on each side of the chassis
and the inner rail. (See the diagram below for a description of the Type G screw.)
5. Repeat the above steps to install the other rail on the chassis.
8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide 11
Optional: Install the Traditional UP Racks
After you have installed the inner rails on the chassis, you are ready to install the outer
rails of rail assemblies to the rack.
NOTE: The rails are designed to t in the racks with the depth of 28” to 33”.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and
then work up.
1. In the package, locate a pair of front (short) and rear (long) brackets. Please note
that the brackets are marked with Up/Front Arrows (front) and Up/Rear arrows (rear).
2. Secure the front (short) bracket (marked with the Up/Front arrows) to the outer rail
with two Type G screws. (See the previous page for a description of the Type G
screw.)
3. Attach the rear (long) bracket to the other end of the outer rail and secure the rear
(long) bracket to the outer rail with a Type G screw as shown below.
4. Measure the depth of your rack and adjust the length of the rails accordingly.
5. Repeat the same steps to install the other outer rail on the chassis.
6. Secure both outer rail assemblies to the rack with Type H screws and Type I wash-
ers. (See the previous page for descriptions of Type H and Type I hardware components.)
12 8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide
7. Slide the chassis into the rack as shown below.
NOTE: The chassis may not slide into the rack smoothly or easily when installed
the rst time. Some adjustment to the slide assemblies might be needed for easy
installation.
8. You will need to release the safety taps on both sides of the chassis in order to com-
pletely remove the chassis out of the rack.
8e6 ProxyBlocker Quick Start Guide 13
