This chapter describes unpacking and installing the Netra 1290 server into a rack. Topics include:

■ “Unpacking the Server” on page 1

■ “Installing Slide Rails” on page 4

■ “Installing the Server in a Cabinet” on page 15

■ “Installing Slide Rail Lock Nuts” on page 22

■ “Installing the Cable Management Arm” on page 24

Unpacking the Server

▼ To Unpack the Server

1. Ensure there is adequate space around the server to maneuver a computer lifting device.

2. Remove the yellow Customer Information Sheet from the plastic pocket on the side of the packaging, and keep it for future reference.

3. Remove the carton protection pads.

See

FIGURE 1-1.

8. Lift off the server bag.

9. Make a visual check to ensure that the chassis is undamaged.

10. Move the server to the operating location using a computer lifting device.

Note – Power cords for the Netra 1290 server are supplied in a separate country kit.

Note – The Solaris software and the LOM firmware are preinstalled or

preconfigured on the server.

Installing Slide Rails

Caution – The cabinet stabilizers (if applicable) must be extended whenever a Netra

1290 server is pulled out of the cabinet.

Caution – The Netra 1290 server, with mounting cradle, weighs approximately 286

lb (130 kg). Two people using a computer equipment lift are required to move the server safely into the cabinet.

Caution – Pull only one Netra 1290 server out of the cabinet at a time to prevent

unbalancing the cabinet.

Servers that are to be mounted in a cabinet use a slide rail mounting kit. This kit includes the following:

■ Two lock spacers

■ Two lock nuts

■ Four slide rails, two inner and two outer

■ 8 mm wrench

Note – If you received your server preinstalled in a cabinet you may proceed

directly to “Installing the Cable Management Arm” on page 24.

Adjusting the Slide Rail Assembly

Each slide rail assembly consists of four components (FIGURE 1-3):

■ Rear bracket that attaches to the assembly

■ Adjustable bracket that attaches to the rear bracket (adjustable bracket is not used

in some configurations)

■ Slide rail assembly (with inner and outer rails)

■ Front bracket

Adjust the rear bracket or the adjustable bracket position to modify the length of the assembly. The slide rail assembly and the rear bracket have bracket locations for specific cabinets stamped onto the metal.

FIGURE 1-3 shows the location of the

markings.

▼ To Install the Inner Rails on the Server

1. Remove the inner rail from the slide rail assembly:

a. Press the latch adjacent to the green latch.

b. Pull the inner rail free from the outer slide rail assembly.

2. Push up on the inner rail so that the locating tab, on the side of the server, clips

over the cutouts in the rail (

FIGURE 1-4).

6 Netra 1290 Server Installation Guide • May 2006

FIGURE 1-4 Spring Clips and Cutouts

The spring clip should engage.

Note – The spring clips must be above the system hooks. The lip on the main body

of the inner rail must engage under and behind the system hook.

3. Secure the inner rail to the server using two 5 x 10 mm screws for each rail.

Chapter 1 Unpacking and Installing the Ser ver 7

4. Repeat Step 1 through Step 3 for the second inner rail.

▼ To Prepare the Rails for 2-Post Installations

For 2-post installations, you can dismantle and reassemble the slide rail assemblies (

FIGURE 1-5). The slide rail assemblies can be adjusted to suit a 19-inch 2-post rack

that has a post depth in the range of 3 to 6 inches (7.5 to 15.0 cm).
