Attach the Slide Rail Assemblies to the Rack
1
Assemble the outer slide rail assemblies by fitting the longer rail piece on top of
the shorter rail piece and pulling outward until the two pieces lock.
2
Position one of the rail assemblies in the rack (making sure you place the right-
stamped rail on the right side of the rack).
3
Align the front holes with the front holes
in the rack, and screw a rail screw into
the bottom hole. Note that the rack
holes are not evenly spaced. Be sure to align the rail so that the rail holes match up
with the rack holes.
4
Align the rear holes with the rear holes in the rack and screw rail screws in the top
and bottom holes.
5
Repeat Steps 2, 3, and 4 for the
second rail.
Mount the Chassis in the Rack
1
Align the inner sliders (attached to the chassis) with the front ends of the slide
rail assemblies (attached to the rack) and slide the server into the rack.
2
Line up the holes on the inner sliders with the holes on the rack/outer rails,
and secure the chassis with the remaining screws.
Step 3: Connect Power and Network Cables
The server has four (three on the Snap Server 720i) Gigabit Ethernet ports that can connect to 10BaseT, 100BaseTx, or
1000BaseT networks (a 1000BaseT network will provide best performance). At least one port must be connected; however, a
multi-port configuration offers considerable performance advantages and is highly recommended.
If you connect only one port, it must be the eth0 port (as shown in the Hardware Features illustration), which is used by Adaptec
Storage Manager as the management port but which can also double as an iSCSI port.
Cabling the Server to the Network
Use the provided Ethernet cables to connect the server to the network. When you connect network cables to eth0 and eth1 active
ports, the network lights on the bezel (LAN 1 and LAN 2) are green. The Activity network lights for eth2 and eth3 (located on the
rear of the server on the Network Interface Card) blink green to indicate that the ports are active
.
Connecting the Power Cord
Note
The Snap Server 730i and 750i
(shown) use a dual power supply. The Snap
Server 720i (not shown) has a single power
supply and will require only one UPS and/or
electrical outlet for installation.
As a data integrity measure, Adaptec
strongly recommends you connect each
power supply module to a separate power source via a separate UPS.
Use the provided power cord(s) to
plug the modules into
the UPS(s) or properly grounded electrical outlet(s).
Note
Snap Servers are designed to work with APC-brand, USB- or network-based UPS devices to automatically shut down
cleanly in case of a power failure. You must configure the APC unit both in ASM and in the APC user interface.
