Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which
you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. Please read this section
in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections
that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front •
door completely (~25 inches).
2-1
SUPERSERVER 5015A-EHF-D525 User's Manual
!
!
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for •
suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
•
equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
•
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Warnings and Precautions!
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •
the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•
In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.•
Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the •
rack.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
•
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack • before you install the
rails.
Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then
•
work up.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
•
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
Allow the power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives to cool before
•
touching them.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers •
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airfl ow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).
