CAUTIONS
ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD PROTECTION:
Perform the procedures in this chapter only at an electrostatic discharge
(ESD) workstation since the server components can be extremely sensitive
to ESD. If no such station is available, you can reduce the risk of
electrostatic discharge ESD damage by doing the following:
• Wear an anti-static wrist strap and attach it to a metal part of the server.
• Touch the metal on the server chassis before touching the server
components.
• Keep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate
the static charge while handling the components.
• Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
• Hold the server components (especially boards) only by the edges.
6 Quick Start Guide
• Place the server components on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the component wrapper.
• Do not slide the components over any surface.
COOLING AND AIRFLOW: For proper cooling and airflow, always
install the chassis access cover before turning on the system. Operating the
system without the cover in place can cause overheating and damage to
system components.

Figure 1. SRKA4 MP Server System
General Site Criteria
The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site that meets
these criteria:
• Near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet
In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 100-120 V and for 200-240 V.
In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance with the local
electrical authorities and electrical code of the region.
• 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 fields 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 cords can be unplugged from the power supply or
the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server.
• Clearance provided for cooling and airflow.
Mounting the SRKA4 Server System in a Rack
The SRKA4 server system is a rack-mounted system, which means that you install it in a rack.
You install the system in either a slide rail or center-mount rack configuration.
OM09981
Figure 2. Slide Rail
Configuration
Figure 2a. Center-mount
Configuration
The slide rail configuration is shown in Figure 2. There are four posts, each with holes spaced at
small intervals. Each slide rail in the slide rail assembly is connected to the front and back of the
rack. If mounting the server in a slide rail configuration, you only need the slide rail kit. Note the
equipment rack precautions below, and follow the instructions in the “Slide Rail Kit” section on
page 11.
The center-mount configuration is shown in Figure 2a. There is a center bar with holes on each
side. Center-mount brackets are attached to the center bar. If mounting the server in a centermount configuration, you only need the center-mount kit. Note the equipment rack precautions
below, and follow the instructions in the “Center-mount Kit” on page 20.
SRKA4 /ISP4400 Server System 9
Equipment Rack Precautions
WARNINGS
MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power
to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).
G
ROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an
electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding
conductor with the rack installation. If a server power cord is plugged
into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper
grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into
wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord
provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide
additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed
in it.
CAUTIONS
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in
an equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C
(95 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of
problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the
front of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 3,000 Btu's per hour for the
server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to
the environment in which the server will be used.
10 Quick Start Guide
Slide Rail Kit
WARNING
Avoid injury: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use
only a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The
minimum server configuration weighs 26 kg (57 lbs); the maximum
weighs 40 kg (88 lbs).
Do not attempt to lift or move the server by the handles on the power
supplies.
Use only a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit to move the server
from one location to another.
To mount the SRKA4 MP server system in a slide rail configuration, install the slide rail kit as
directed in this section. The slide rail kit contains slide rail assemblies, EIA brackets, and several

Utility. See "Running the SCSISelect Utility" on page 31.
4. If you do not press <F2> or <Esc> and do NOT have a device with an operating system
loaded, the boot process continues and the system beeps once. The following message is
displayed:
Operating System not found
5. At this time, pressing any key causes the system to attempt a reboot. The system searches all
removable devices in the order defined by the boot priority.
6. If you want to boot from a hard drive loaded with an operating system, make sure that the hard
drive is installed and push the Reset button on the front panel.
SRKA4 /ISP4400 Server System 27
NOTE
✏
The SRKA4 server system is shipped with the diskette drive set as the first
