Note: The illustrations in this documentation might be slightly different from your

hardware.

Installing a rack cabinet

The NetBAY25 Rack cabinet is a 25U-high rack cabinet1, while the NetBAY42 Rack cabinet is a 42U-high rack cabinet. NetBAY25 and primary NetBAY42 Rack cabinets come with side panels installed.

Note: New rack cabinets come with side and filler panels that are slightly thicker

and heavier than other rack cabinets. You can install the new side or filler panel FRUs on either type of rack cabinet.

1. One U is equal to 4.45 cm (1.75 in.)

6 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks Types 9306, 9308

Expansion NetBAY42 Rack cabinets do not come with side panels, but do include the required hardware for building a suite of rack cabinets. The rack cabinets conform to the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard EIA-310-D Cabinets, Racks, Panels, and Associated Equipment (1992).

Note: You need only one primary rack cabinet per suite.

Statement 1:

CAUTION: To ensure safety, all configurations of the rack cabinet must be certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory in order to verify compliance with country-specific safety regulations. This process ensures that the end product remains safe for the operator and service personnel under normal and forseeable misuse conditions.

Installing stabilizer brackets

See the unpacking instructions that come with the rack cabinet for information on how to unpack and locate the rack cabinet; then, lower the rack leveling pads and install the stabilizer brackets for added stability.

Note: NetBAY25 Rack cabinets have only a front stabilizer bracket. NetBAY42

Rack cabinets have one front and four side stabilizer brackets.

Statement 2:

DANGER

v Always lower the leveling pads on the rack cabinet. v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet. v Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of

the rack cabinet.

v Always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

Installing the NetBAY25 stabilizer bracket:

Figure 5. Lowering the NetBAY25 leveling pads and installing the stabilizer bracket

1. Use a 12 mm open-end wrench to lower each of the four leveling pads just enough so that they touch the floor. The rack casters support the weight of the rack cabinet. The pads prevent the rack from rolling.

2. Attach the stabilizer bracket to the front of the rack cabinet with the screws that come with the bracket.

3. If necessary, bolt the rack cabinet to the floor through the provided holes in the stabilizer bracket.

10 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks Types 9306, 9308

Installing the NetBAY42 stabilizer brackets:

Figure 6. Lowering the NetBAY42 leveling pads and installing the side stabilizer brackets

2. Attach a side stabilizer bracket to the front of the rack cabinet with the screws that come with the bracket; then, attach the other three side stabilizer brackets.

3. Repeat this procedure to remove both filler panels.

Installing rear filler panels: Use the following procedure to install the rear filler panels on the rack cabinet:

1. Align the bottom of the rear filler panel with the tab on the bottom rear of the rack cabinet.

2. Hold the filler panel fully against the side of the rack cabinet; then, slide the filler panel toward the rear of the rack cabinet. Ensure that both the top and bottom tabs are engaged by the filler panel.

3. Repeat this procedure to install both filler panels.

Removing and installing NetBAY42 panels

The primary NetBAY42 Rack cabinet comes with side panels installed. Remove the side panels from a primary rack cabinet, or the outermost rack cabinets in a suite, before you install or remove optional devices.

Type 9306 Model 250/420/421 13

Note: You do not need to remove the rear filler panels unless you are attaching the

rack cabinets to form a suite of rack cabinets.

Removing and installing side panels: Use the following procedure to remove the NetBAY42 side panels:

Side panel

Rear locking bar

Front locking bar

Figure 10. Removing the NetBAY42 side panels

Door latches

Rack cabinets come with doors that have either round or square latches. You can install either latch FRU on NetBAY25 and NetBAY42 rack cabinets. See the following illustrations of the two styles of latches.

Note: Doors that come with square latches are slightly thicker and heavier than

doors that come with round latches.

16 Hardware Maintenance Manual: IBM PC Server/Enterprise Racks Types 9306, 9308

Removing and installing rack doors

Remove the rack doors when installing and removing options in the rack cabinet. All rack cabinets come with front and rear doors installed.

Note: You only need to remove a door if part of the rack cabinet is obstructed by

the door as you install the optional device.

Removing and installing a NetBAY25 door: Use the following procedure to remove a front or rear door from the rack cabinet:

Figure 12. Removing a front door from the NetBAY25 rack cabinet

1. Unlock and open the door.

2. Grasp the door firmly with both hands and lift it upward and away from the hinges; then, set the door aside.

Reverse this procedure to install the door on the rack cabinet.

Type 9306 Model 250/420/421 17

Figure 14. Moving the hinge pins and front door latch

3. Remove the front door latch and attach it to the other side of the rack cabinet.

Note: The rear door latch is built-in to both rear filler panels, so there is nothing

to move when reversing the rear door on the rack cabinet.

Type 9306 Model 250/420/421 19

4. Carefully rotate the door 180°; then, install the door on the other side of the rack cabinet.
