3.7 Installing Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the
Slide-Rail Assemblies
Use this procedure to install the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine chassis, with
mounting brackets, into the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted to the rack.
Caution:
This procedure requires a minimum of two persons because of the weight of
the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine. Attempting this procedure alone
could result in equipment damage or personal injury.
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will
not become top-heavy and tip over. Extend your rack's anti-tip bar to prevent
the rack from tipping during equipment installation.
To install Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the slide-rail assemblies, complete
the following steps:
1.
Push the slide-rails into the slide-rail assemblies in the rack as far as possible.
2.
Raise the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine so that the rear ends of the
mounting brackets are aligned with the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted in
the rack, as shown in
.
3.
Insert the mounting brackets into the slide-rails, then push the server into the rack
until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops (approximately 12
inches, or 30 cm).
Caution:
When inserting the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the slide-
rail, ensure that both the top and bottom mounting lips of the mounting
brackets are inserted into the slide-rail. The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory
Machine should slide forward and backward easily if correctly installed. If
the unit does not slide easily, ensure that each mounting lip is inserted
properly. If the mounting brackets are not inserted properly, the unit may
fall when removing it from the rack.
