Chapter 6
Rack Installation

6-1

Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup to install the chassis into a rack.

6-2

Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in, and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim withthe carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also needit placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

6-3

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 sectionin 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).

• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow forsufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicatedequipment rooms, service closets and similar environments).

6-1

SC504 Chassis Manual

Rack Precautions• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In 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 therack.

• You should extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

General Server Precautions• Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are adding to your chassis.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and thenwork up.

• Use a regulating, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server frompower surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of apower failure.

• Allow the hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touchingthem.

• Always keep the rack's front door, all panels and all components on the servers
closed when not servicing, in order 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 theroom. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an

6-2

Chapter 6: Rack Installation
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).

Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does notarise 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 haveon overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration ofequipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable GroundA 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 (for example, the useof power strips, and other devices).
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, youmust take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the SC504 chassis into a rack unit
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions thatcame with the rack unit you are using.

Figure 6-1: Installing the Chassis into a Rack

Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be
installed in racks from the bottom up.

Installing the Chassis into a Standard Rack
Installing the Chassis in a Standard Rack
1. Confirm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount thechassis into a rack.
2. Align the thru holes of the chassis with the thru holes of the rack.
3. Insert the mounting screws into the thru holes in the front of the chassis andthrough the thru holes in the rack.
Warning: do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.

6-4

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

Mid-Mount Telco Rack
The SC504 supports Telco Rack installation. The SC504 chassis compact design
allows the chassis to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails.

Figure 6-2: Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack

Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be
installed in racks from the bottom up.

Installing the Chassis into a Telco (Two-Post Style) Rack:
To install the chassis into a Telco style two-post rack, use two L-shaped brackets
on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server
will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance
the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your chassis, remove
it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the tworear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the
Telco rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets
to the rack.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
