CHAPTER2
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your RMC 7152 up and running. FOllowing the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processor, system memoryetc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specificcomponents.
2.2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the server was shipped in and note if it was damaged in anyway. If the server itself shows damage,youshould fileadamageclaim withthecarrier who deliveredit.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is wellventilated.Avoid areas whereheat,electrical noseandelectromagnetic fields are generated.Youwillalso needitplaced near agrounded power outlet.Readtherack andserver precations in thenextsection.
2.2 Preparing for Setup
The RMC 7152 does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package is available if you wish to order fromAcnodes. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procdeureoutlined inthe sections that follow.

2.4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the RMC 7152 into a rack. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a varietyof rack units on the market, which maymean the assemblyprocedure will differ slightly.The following is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Basic Installation Procedure
You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the RMC 7152. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail brackets.Asliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1).TheAand B rails must be detached from each other to install.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

Installing the Chassis Rails
14” short depth server
15-inch touch panel PC
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure
2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs:As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in placewhenfullyextended from therack.This prevents theserver from comingcompletelyout of therack whenyou pullit outfor servicing.

Installing the Rack Rails
14” short depth server
14” short depth server
Determine where you want to place the RMC 7152 in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
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. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on bothsides (you mayhave to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".

Overheat/FanFail
When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continiously(on and not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which maybe caused bycables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verifythat the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.
