Chapter 5
Rack Installation
5-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.
Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system
operational in a minimal amount of time.
5-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in, and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Pre-
cautions in the next section.
5-3 Preparing for Setup
The box your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which
you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. Please read this section
in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections
that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
•
door completely (~25 inches).
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in back of the rack to allow for
•
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
