2. Server Installation
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get the SGI Rackable C1104G-RP5 operational.
If your system came already mounted in a rack, you can skip the rack installation procedures.
Unpack the System
Inspect the shipping container that the C1104G-RP5 was shipped in and note if it was damaged in
any way. If the server shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack that supports the weight, power requirements, and
environmental requirements of the C1104G-RP5 server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free
environment that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic
fields are generated. Place the server rack near a grounded power outlet. Refer also to
“System
Warnings and Precautions” on page 10 .
Prepare for Setup
The shipping container should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and
the mounting screws that you will use to install the system into a rack. Note that the inner rails
should already be attached to the server. Read this section in its entirety before you begin the
installation procedure.
Choose a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25
inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient
airflow and ease in servicing. This clearance may vary depending on the type of rack and
installation site chosen. This product is for installation only in an (IEC 60950) Restricted Access
Location - dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and labs, etc. See also,
“Regulatory
Compliance” in Appendix B .
