Installing the CPU drawer
If the rails have not been mounted on the processor drawer at the factory,
you must install them. The brackets must be installed in the rack.
Requirements for installation of the drawer are listed below.
•
This CPU drawer is an 4U system, meaning that it requires 7
vertical inches (1.75" x 4") of rack space for installation. Check
your rack configuration to make sure you have at least this much
space. You may have to remove blank panels or rearrange existing
drawers to provide enough clearance.
•
Protect your system from extreme temperature and humidity.
Position your rack away from direct sunlight, heater ducts, and
other heat-generating objects.
•
Keep your system away from equipment that generates magnetic
fields. Even a telephone placed too closely to the system may
cause interference.
•
Your new system drawer is configured for AC operation. Protect it
against AC line spikes by using a 3-prong, 110 V or 220 V
(depending on the voltage supplied in your locality), and an AC
surge control outlet station. The system requires two separate AC
outlets (one per power supply).
Inspecting the contents
Unpack the carton and inspect the contents. Standard systems include the
following items:
•

Check the packing list to ensure all equipment and associated manuals are

damage from shipping, contact technical support immediately
.
Note:
Drawer heights are
measured in “U’s.” Each U
is 1.75
"
, measured
vertically on the rack.
Important!
Keep the product carton
and foam packing, in case
you have to ship the
system. If you return the
system in different
packaging, your warranty
may be voided.
