XGS12 Chassis Installation Precautions
The following precautions should be followed while installing the XGS12 chassis:
l
A two person lift is recommended when installing the chassis into the rack.
l
Ensure that each person is properly grounded during installation of either the chassis
(onto the rack) or load modules (into the chassis) to prevent an ESD event.
l
Install the chassis in the rack before installing the power supply module, fan module
and load modules, thereby reducing the weight of the chassis.
l
Use the two lower bolts meant for securing the chassis to a rack, to hold the chassis
frame in place while securing all of the other bolts.
l
Secure the chassis to rack face with all six bolts. Fully depress power supply clamps
when installing power supply module.
l
Secure the power supply module thumb bolt when installing power supply module.
l
Install the rear power supply cover before applying AC power. After removing or
installing this cover, ensure that the thumbscrews are tightened down with a 'Flat
Blade' screwdriver. Exercise caution when tightening to prevent cross threading of
the screws to the chassis.
l
Ensure that the rack where the XG(S)12 Chassis is installed provides 200-240 VAC.
l
Do not use AC power other than 200-240 VAC. The chassis is designed to be operated
using all three 200-240 VAC power supplies.
l
Do not use the chassis without installing the Fan module.
l
Do not use the chassis without installing the Processor module.
l
Do not leave unused slots open. Use the filler panels to cover the un-used slots.
l
Do not block the front air intake.
l
A minimum air flow clearance of 12 inches is required. 24 inches of air flow clearance
is preferred at the rear of the chassis.
l
Remove all external plastic protective film prior to chassis operation.
l
Operator intervention may be required to power cycle the XGS12 chassis or restart a
software program in the event the XGS12 chassis operation is upset or stopped by
electrostatic discharge.
