Rack Installation Instructions

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:

Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack cabinet.

You must have a NetBAY25, NetBAY42, NetBAY42 Enterprise, NetBAY22 with Rack Extension Kit,

Netfinity9306 Model 900 with Rack Extension Kit, or similar rack cabinet.

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

Do not block any air vents, usually 15 cm (6 in.) 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 extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.

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

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

Take precaution to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install multiple devices in a rack

cabinet.

You will need a flat-blade and a Phillips screwdriver during the installation. The following illustration

shows the items that you need to install the server in your rack cabinet. If any items are missing or

damaged, contact your place of purchase.

Do not place any object weighing more than

50 kg (110 lb) on top of rack-mounted

devices. >50 kg (110 lb)

Use the attached rack mounting template to

locate the holes on the front and rear rack

mounting flanges.

Cage

nuts

Install cage nuts or clip nuts as required for

your rack cabinet. Use the cage-nut-insertion

tool or a flat-blade screwdriver to install cage

nuts.

Right slide rail

Rear mounting flanges

Left slide rail

Use the tab 1 on the rear of each slide rail

to align the slide rail to the rear mounting

flanges. If the front slide rail bracket does not

align with the front mounting flange, slightly

loosen the rail-length-adjusting screws 2 and

adjust the length of the rail.

Install the slide rails, ensuring that the front

and rear slide rail brackets for both slide rails

are vertically aligned. Insert and partially

tighten the four rear M6 screws 1; then,

insert and fully tighten the four front M6

screws 2.

If you loosened the rail-length-adjusting

screws, tighten them; then, fully extend the

rails out of the rack cabinet until they lock into

place.

Attention: To avoid injury, do not place your

fingers around the rack-support wheels 1

when positioning the server on the rails.

Ensure that the handles 2 are fully upright

as shown in the illustration above; then, use

the handles to position the server in front of

and level with the rails, aligning the channels

on the sides of the server with the rails. Slide

the server onto the rails, resting the

rack-support wheels on the rails, until the

release latches contact the rails.

Use four M4 screws per side to secure the

server to the rails; then, remove the

rack-support wheels 1 and the handles 2

and store them in a safe place. Also remove

the blue thumbscrew 3 from the left side of

the server and store it in a safe place.

Note: The rack-support wheels and the

handles are required if you remove the server

from the rack cabinet. You must also install

the blue thumbscrew if you intend to remove

the server from the rack cabinet and move the

server to a new location.

Insert the tab on the bottom edge of the cable

management arm hinge plate 1 into the slot

at the rear-left side of the server; then, attach

the plate to the server with the M3.5

thumbscrew.

Press in on the slide-rail-locking latches and

slide the server fully into the rack cabinet.

Slide the cable-management-arm bracket over

the right-rear M6 screws 1. Ensure that

both rear slide-rail brackets are vertically

aligned; then, fully tighten the four rear M6

screws.

Slide the server halfway out of the rack

cabinet; then, loosen but do not remove the

four front M6 screws 1. While one person

supports the front of the server by lifting it

slightly, ensure that the front slide-rail brackets

are vertically aligned; then, fully tighten the

four front M6 screws.

Slide the server fully into the rack cabinet until

it locks in place. Using the handles 1 on the

free end of the cable management arm, retract

the spring-loaded hinge pins 2; then, rotate

the handles to lock the pins in the retracted

position.

Slide the tab 1 on the cable management

arm into the slot 2 in the hinge plate; then,

release the hinge pins into the holes in the

plate.

Attach cables to the rear of the server (such

as keyboard, mouse, and monitor cables if

required). Route the cables toward the left

side of the server. Use cable clamps to

secure cables along the way. Insert clamps

only in the column of ventilation holes

immediately to the right of the ac power

connectors. If you insert the clamps in

columns elsewhere, they will interfere with the

removal of internal components.

Store this information with your server documentation for future use.

Route the cables through the

cable-management arm, securing them with

cable straps 1. Use two cable straps 2

(one on each side of the hinge) to secure the

power cords to the hinge plate.

See the documentation that comes with your

server and optional devices for complete

cabling instructions.

Slide the server into the rack cabinet until the

release latches 1 lock into place.

Note: If you move the rack cabinet or install it

in a vibration-prone area, insert the M6 screws

2; then, install the chassis support bracket

(see Step 15). If the server comes installed in

the rack cabinet, the bracket also comes

installed and need not be removed.

Important: The chassis support bracket must

be installed if you move the rack cabinet after

you install the server.

Align the bracket 2 so that the tab 3

engages the lower rear of the server. Install

cage nuts or clip nuts, depending on your rack

cabinet, on the rear mounting flanges in holes

that align with the holes in the bracket; then,

insert and fully tighten four M6 screws 1.
