Pro Mondo – Hardware Interface Manual
•
The power supply power cords must include a grounding pin and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
•
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short
circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
•
This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected
to Earth (ground).
2.3.2 General Precautions
•
The server weighs approximately 85 lbs (38.6kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either
end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with
your legs.
•
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can
come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
•
After accessing the inside of the node, close the chassis back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention
screws and ensure that all connections have been made.
2.3.3 Chassis Precautions
•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to
keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Allow any power supply modules to cool before touching them.
2.3.4 Rack Precautions
•
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack
resting on them.
•
In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should
be coupled together.
•
Always make sure the rack is stable and secured before extending a Mondo chassis from the rack.
•
You should extend only one Mondo chassis at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to
become unstable.
2.4 General Mechanical
•
The equipment will require 2RU of vertical rack space and may be mounted directly above or below other equipment
without providing space between, however, 1RU space should be maintained from other equipment which generates
significant heat. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to extend the Mondo Chassis completely
(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease
of servicing.
•
Be sure to maintain freedom of air movement around equipment. Installation of the equipment in enclosed racks
is not recommended due restricted air flow. The equipment is designed to operate to specification in an ambient
temperature of +10°C to +35°C (+50°F to +95°F). Normal room temperature is recommended to ensure proper long
term operation of the equipment.
•
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the mains power and the effect that any possible
overloading of circuits might have on over current protection and wiring.
•
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular
attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the
use of power strips, etc.).
•
Rear support of the unit is mandatory and rails for attachment to rear supports are provided. Do not use the unit
chassis to support other equipment. Alternately, if rear support rails are unavailable or impractical, install the unit on
a well supported shelf.
