PIXERA
Server
Rack
Installation
This
section
provides
information
on
installing
the
media
server
into
a
rack
unit
with
the
rails
provided.
There
are
a
variety
of
rack
units
on
the
market,
which
may
mean
that
the
assembly
procedure
will
differ
slightly
from
the
instructions
provided.
You
should
also
refer
to
the
installation
instructions
that
came
with
the
rack
unit
you
are
using.
CAUTION!
Never
mount
the
media
server
solely
on
the
19"
mounting
bracket
attached
to
the
server.
This
will
break
the
19"
mounting
bracket
and
damage
the
server,
the
rack
and
may
cause
injury.
o
Always
use
the
19"
rails
o
Or
ensure
that
the
media
server
rests
on
an
appropriate
base
plate.
CAUTION!
Do
not
pick
up
the
server
with
the
front
handles.
They
are
designed
to
pull
the
chassis
from
a
rack
only.
This
may
damage
the
server
and
may
cause
injury.
Precautions
Ensure
that
the
leveling
jacks
on
the
underside
of
the
rack
are
fully
extended
to
the
floor,
with
the
entire
weight
of
the
rack
resting
on
them.
For
single
rack
mounting,
stabilizers
must
be
attached
to
the
rack.
For
multiple
racking
systems,
the
racks
must
be
coupled
together.
Always
make
sure
that
the
rack
is
stable
before
pulling
a
component
out
of
the
rack.
You
may
only
extend
one
component
at
a
time
‐
the
simultaneous
extension
of
two
or
more
components
can
cause
the
rack
to
become
unstable.
The
units
must
be
installed
in
a
rack
in
such
a
way
that
no
dangerous
condition
arises
due
to
uneven
mechanical
loading.
Install
the
heaviest
server
components
on
the
bottom
of
the
rack
first,
and
then
work
your
way
up.
Use
an
uninterruptible
power
supply
(UPS)
to
protect
the
server
from
power
surges
and
voltage
spikes
and
keep
your
system
up
and
running
in
the
event
of
a
power
failure.
