Lenovo Tripp Lite 2U User manual

Rack installation instructions

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

you install the server in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:

vTwo or more people are required to install devices 2U or larger in a rack cabinet.

vOne or more people are required to install devices 1U or larger in a rack cabinet.

vMake sure that the room air temperature is below 40°C (104°F).

vDo not block any air vents; usually 15 cm (6 in.) of space provides proper airflow.

vDo not leave open spaces above or below an installed server in your rack cabinet. To help prevent

damage to server components, always install a blank filler panel to cover the open space and to help

ensure proper air circulation.

vInstall the server only in a rack cabinet with perforated doors.

vPlan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.

vInstall the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.

vAlways install the tip plates on the rack.

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

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

vConnect the server to a properly grounded outlet.

vDo not overload the power outlet when you install multiple devices in the rack cabinet.

vInstall the server in a rack that meets the following requirements:

– Minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in.) between the front mounting flange and inside of the front door.

– Minimum depth of 157 mm (6.18 in.) between the rear mounting flange and inside of the rear door.

Use safe practices when lifting.

≥18 kg (39.7 lb) ≥32 kg (70.5 lb) ≥55 kg (121.2 lb)

Do not place any objects on top of

rack-mounted devices.

Notes:

1. When you install a 2U server, be sure to install the rails in the bottom U of the 2U area in the rack.

2. Cage nuts and clip nuts may be required to install the server in a rack cabinet.

3. Your server might look different from the servers that are illustrated, and some parts of the rack

installation kit might not be used.

The following illustration shows the items that you need to install the server in the rack cabinet. If any

items are missing or damaged, contact your place of purchase.

Notes:

1. Some items come with the server, not in the rack installation kit.

2. You will need the components in the screw kit option to install the rails in a rack with threaded holes.

3. For the 1U server, if the rails in your rack installation kit came with shipping screws, remove them

before you begin the following installation procedure.

Before installing the rails in rack with threaded

holes, first install the adapters on the front and

rear side of the rails.

Choose one of the rails for installation. Line up the

pins on the front of the rail with the two

circle-shaped holes of the adapter 1. Push the

adapter so that the pins go into the holes and the

front adapter latches on the rail.

Align the 10-32 (L8) screw 2 with the middle hole

of both the adapter and rail, then install the 10-32

(L8) screw.

Slide the cage nut 3 into the adapter. You may

need to slightly squeeze the cage nut in order to do

so.

Note: For racks that have 10-32 thread, the 10-32

cage nut is not required.

Line up the pins on the rear of the rail with the

three circle-shaped holes on the adapter. Push the

adapter 4 so that the pins go into the holes and

the adapter latches on the rail.

Installing the rails in a rack with threaded holes.

Align the pins on the rear of the rail and attached

adapter with the holes on the rear of the rack; then

install the M4 (L8) screws to secure the rail to the

rear of the rack. Repeat this step for the front of the

rail.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 to install the other rail. Make

sure that each rail is securely installed in the rack.

Go to step 3.

server on the rails 1. Make sure that the server

sits on the rails securely and push the server 2 all

the way into the rack.

Tightening the front thumbscrews.

When you move the rack cabinet, or if you install

the rack cabinet in a vibration-prone area, tighten

the two thumbscrews on the front of the server to

Securing the server in the rack with threaded

holes for shipping.

Note: If you have installed the server in a rack with

threaded holes, you must remove the server from

the rack before installing the shipping brackets.

For servers installed in the rack with threaded

holes, install the two M4 screws 1 to fasten the

rear of the rail to the rack. Align the holes on the

shipping bracket 2 marked "Left" to the rear of

the left rail; then, install the screw 3 to secure the

shipping bracket to the rack. When installing this

screw, make sure the thread in the hole matches the

specific screw that is needed.

Install the other shipping bracket to the rear of the

right rail.

Securing the server in the rack with non-threaded

holes for shipping.

Note: The non-threaded holes will either be

square-shaped or circle-shaped.

For servers installed in the rack with non-threaded

holes, install the shipping bracket 1 marked "Left"

to the side of the left rail. Before installing, check

the non-threaded holes on the rack to see whether it

is square-shaped or circle-shaped. Afterwards, align

the shipping bracket to the corresponding hole on

the left side of the rail marked "2U". After knowing

which hole to align with, insert the shipping

bracket hooks into the holes of the rail. Upon

insertion, there should be no gap between the

shipping bracket and rail. Meanwhile, you will

notice the holes on the shipping bracket and rail are

not entirely aligned yet. For full alignment, shift the

shipping bracket to either the square-shaped or

circle-shaped icon. Finally, install the screw 2 to

secure the shipping bracket to the rack. Refer to the

following illustration for further details.

Install the other shipping bracket to the rear of the

right rail.
