Installing FastServe | Live Edit / FastServe | Ingest Hardware
in a Rack
The FastServe | Ingest / FastServe | LiveEdit server is designed for 19-inch racks and requires three
EIA rack units (3U), or 130 mm of rack space. Dimensions of the FastServe | Live Edit / FastServe |
Ingest server are: Height 130mm; Width 443mm, Depth 790mm, Weight 48kg (approx.).
The FastServe | Live Edit / FastServe | Ingest server includes rack mounting slide rails. The standard
rail configuration is for racks with square mounting holes. The rack-mounting kit requires inner slide
rails be mounted to theFastServe | Live Edit / FastServe | Ingest server and the outer slide rails are
mounted to the rack. Once both, the inner and outer rails are in place, slide the server with the inner
rails attached into the outer rails. Secure the server in the rack so it does not slide forward.
c
The FastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest server is designed to be installed horizontally in
a rack. Installing theFastServe | Live Edit or FastServe | Ingest on an angle or in a sloped
console causes the internal drives to wear faster than the intended life of the drive.

To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, start from the bottom when you install the rack
components in the rack enclosure.
Rack-mount Requirements
• Elevated Operating Ambient — If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment might be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consider installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient
temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
• Reduced Air Flow — Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of
air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
Airflow is from the front of the server to the rear. Make allowances for cooling air to be available
to the front panel surface and no restrictions at the rear.
• Mechanical Loading — Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
• Circuit Overloading — Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the
supply circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used
when addressing this concern.
• Reliable Grounding — Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).
• Inside Enclosure Access — If you want to extend the enclosure, and remove the top cover, you
must allow 0.5 in (1.3 cm) clearance on top of the enclosure for cover removal.
• Ventilation is handled through the sides of the unit; incoming air from the left, and cooling fans
on the right.
• If the Server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operation's ambient
temperature of the rack may be greater than room ambient. Verify that the temperature in the
rack always stays within the 5C° to 40C° range.

To prevent overheating, ensure there is enough room for ventilation.
