Scalar Key Manager

Rack Installation

These instructions explain how to use the rail kit to install your Scalar Key Manager server
in a rack. To remove the server from the rack, reverse these instructions. Store this
information with your server documentation for future use.

Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling
information.

When installing your server in a rack cabinet, consider the following:

• Ensure the room air temperature is below 95°F (35°C).

• Install the server only in a rack cabinet that has perforated doors.

• Do not block any air vents. Usually 6 in. (15 cm) of air space provides proper airflow.

• Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

• Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

• Do not leave open space above or below an installed server in your rack cabinet. To
help prevent damage to server components, always install a filler panel to cover the
open space and to help ensure proper air circulation.

• Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.

• Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.

• Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.

• Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.

• The slide rails in this kit come preset to the correct length for installation in an
IBM-type rack cabinet and they are adjustable for other rack cabinets.

• The slide rails are marked (RIGHT/FRONT and LEFT/FRONT) for proper placement
on the rack-cabinet flanges.

Warning: Do not place any object weighing more than 110 lb (50 kg) on

top of rack-mounted devices.

8 Transporting the rack cabinet with the server installed. Before you transport the rack

cabinet to another location with the server installed, you must secure the server to the
rack. If necessary, disconnect the cables from the rear of the server; then, slide the
server out of the rack 6 inches (150 mm) and insert the M6 screws in each slide rail.
Then, secure the server to the rack cabinet with the M6 screws. See Figure 9

.

Ensure the rails are fully extended to the rear of the rack cabinet and that the shipping
brackets are installed. Go to steps 4

, 5, and 6 for instructions.
