Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review and follow
the safety instructions that came with the system.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist
you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the
rails. To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, you must
adequately support the system during installation and removal.
WARNING: To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire
safety grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation.
The rack equipment must provide sufficient airflow to the system to
maintain proper cooling.
CAUTION: When installing rails in a square-hole rack it is important
to ensure that the square peg slides through the square holes.
6 | Getting Started With Your System
1 Push the latch release buttons on the midpoints of the end piece to open the
rail latches. See Figure 1.
2 Align the end pieces of the rails on the vertical rack flanges to seat the pegs
in the bottom hole of the first U and the top hole of the second U.
NOTE: The rails can be used in both square-hole (item 1 in the
following figure) and round-hole racks (item 2 in the following figure).
Figure 1. Pushing the Latch Release Buttons
NOTE: To remove the rails, push the latch release button on the
midpoints of the end piece and unseat each rail.

3 Engage the end of the rails and release the latch release button to have the
latches locked in place. See Figure 2.
Figure 2. Releasing the Latch Release Buttons
4 On each vertical rack flange on the back, put two screw bases into the two
square holes right above the rail. See Figure 3.
5 Install the chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) on the back rack
flanges.

6 Install and tighten the screws.
NOTE: To transport systems already installed in the rack, ensure
that the two chassis stabilizer shipping brackets (optional) are in
place.

Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).
The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable to plug
into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the monitor’s cable
connector.
NOTE: Note that the system supports only one USB port and a micro USB
port. If you require more than one USB outlet at a time, use USB Hub or
Adapter Cable.

Connecting the Power Cable(s)
Figure 6. Connecting the Power Cable
Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system and, if a monitor is used, connect the
monitor’s power cable to the monitor. Plug the other end of the power cables into a
grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such as an uninterrupted power
supply or a power distribution unit.
NOTE: The system supports both AC and HVDC power inputs. Your
system can support up to two 1400 W power supply units (200-240 VAC
nominal input voltage) or up to two 1600 W power supply units
(200-240 VAC nominal input voltage). 1400 W power supply unit is
supported only for China.
