of the cabinet, using the cable management rings on your cabinet to constrain the
cords and cables.
Installing a Rack-Mountable System 2-1
Installing a Rack-Mounted System
Installing a Rack-Mounted System
Before installing the system, ensure that:
• Your cabinet (if you are installing the system in your own cabinet) meets the
requirements described in the Express5800/320Ma: Site Planning Guide.
• The site has been prepared as described in the Express5800/320Ma: Site
Planning Guide.
If you are using power distribution units (PDUs), install them in your cabinet as
described in Chapter 5, “Installing PDUs” before you install the system.
A rack-mounted system consists of the components shown in Figure 1-2.
To install a rack-mounted system, see the following sections:
• “Numbering the Vertical Rails” on page 2-2
• “Attaching Mounting Brackets to the Cabinet Vertical Rails” on page 2-5
• “Installing the Shelf Unit” on page 2-7
Numbering the Vertical Rails
Each system requires 4U, equal to 12 holes, of vertical space.
NOTE
The cabinet rails and the system are measured in EIA
rack units (U). One U equals 1.75 in. (4.45 cm).
Every three square holes on the EIA square-hole pattern
on the vertical rail equals one U. The square holes on EIA
rails are located in a repeating pattern of 1/2 in. (1.27 cm),
5/8 in. (1.59 cm), 5/8 in. (1.59 cm), as shown in
Figure 2-1.
The middle hole of each U has equal spacing between it
and the holes adjacent to it. In some cabinets, numbers on
the vertical rails identify the middle hole of each U.

If your rack is not already numbered, use a marker or pencil to number the middle hole
of at least the following:
• The 4U in which to install each system
• The 1U in which to install a keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch, if ordered
The following instructions direct you to start numbering the middle hole of the third U in
the cabinet, which is the eighth hole, to leave room at the bottom of the cabinet for the
PDUs.
To number the vertical rails in a cabinet
1. On each of the front rails, number the middle hole of the 4U where you will install
the system. In Figure 2-2, the middle hole of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth Us are
numbered.

• “Connecting the System Directly to AC Power (Mains)” on page 4-7
• “Connecting the System to a UPS” on page 4-10
• “Connecting the Systems to Power Through PDUs” on page 4-13
System Power Overview
Your system requires at least two separate and independent AC power outlets, an
A-side power source and a B-side power source. Either source must be capable of
continuing to provide power if power to the other source is lost.
The A-side power source provides power to the top CPU0I/O enclosure and a
keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) switch. If you use a UPS, the UPS is the A-side power
source.
The B-side power source provides power to the bottom CPU- I ⁄ Oenclosure.
A pair of PDUs supplies power to multiple systems and components in a cabinet. The
top PDU in the cabinet provides A-side power. The bottom PDU in the cabinet provides
4-6 Express5800/320Ma: System Installation Guide
Connecting the System to Electrical Power
B-side power. See Chapter 5, “Installing PDUs” for more information about installing
PDUs and using them with your system.

Overview of the IPL and Post-IPL Procedures
Overview of the IPL and Post-IPL Procedures
The IPL procedure installs the following:
• Microsoft Windows Server 2003
On Express5800/320Ma systems, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and
Service Pack 1 is installed and supported.
• Express5800/320Ma, including ftServer drivers, ftServer Manager, and
Express5800/320Ma Software Availability Manager (SAM)
• Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) for using the Virtual Technician Module (VTM)
console
• Operating system files that are customized for the systems
• System documentation
IPL Considerations
• Neither the IPL procedure nor the post-IPL procedure mirrors the system disk. To
achieve fault tolerance, mirror it after the installation. See the Express5800/320Ma:
Software Installation and Configuration Guide for instructions.
• Do not attempt to use your Windows Server CD alone to install or reinstall Windows
Server. Instead, use the NEC ExpressBuilder CD (1 of 2) to perform the IPL
procedure. The NEC ExpressBuilder CD (1 of 2) contains customized drivers that
are necessary to run an Express5800/320Ma system properly.
• The Post Installation Check, which runs after the IPL, automatically creates a file
named Versiondate.plt (date represents the file creation time and date) that
contains information about the files that were installed. NEC Technical Support can
use this file to analyze installation problems. This information file is created in the
following folder:
%ProgramFiles%\Stratus\CustomerService\VersionReports
• The Post Installation Check tool, which also runs after the IPL, creates a file named
Postcheck_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm.txt in the
%ProgramFiles%\Stratus\Customerservice\Installcheck folder on the system
drive. In the file name, yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm indicates the year, month, date, hour,
and minute when the file was created.
6-2 Express5800/320Ma: System Installation Guide
The Post Installation Check tool verifies that:
– Express5800/320Ma applications are properly installed.
– Correct versions of drivers are properly installed.
– The correct, compiled Managed Object Format (MOF) files are present.
– Express5800/320Ma services are installed and started, except for services
that run only at system startup.
– Third-party applications are properly installed.
– Microsoft hotfixes are installed.
• The IPL procedure takes approximately two and one-half hours to complete.
