Section 1 Intro and Overview
External cable weight contributes to overall weight of the rack installation. Carefully consider cable
weight in all designs
Installation Requirement
CAUTION
: Be aware of the center of gravity and tipping hazards. Installation should be such that a
hazardous stability condition is avoided due to uneven loading. We recommend that the rack footings
extend 10 inches from the front and back of any rack equipments 22U or higher.
Adequate stabilization measures are required. Ensure that the entire rack assembly is properly secured
and that all personnel are trained in proper maintenance and operation procedures. Tipping hazards
include personal injury and death.
Power Input and Grounding
CAUTION
: Ensure your installation has adequate power supply and branch circuit protection.
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an effect
on over current protection and supply wiring. Reliable grounding of this equipment must be maintained.
Particular attention should be given to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than
direct connections to the branch circuit.
Thermal Dissipation Requirement
CAUTION
: Thermal dissipation requirements of this equipment deployment mandate minimum
unrestricted airspace of three inches in both the front and the rear. The ambient within the rack may be
greater than room ambient. Installation should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe
operation is not compromised. The maximum temperature for the equipment in this environment is
122°F (50°C). Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient.
1.4.2 Installation Sequence
CAUTION
It is strongly recommended to securely fasten the mounting rack to the floor or wall to
eliminate any possibility of tipping of the rack. This is especially important if you decide to install several
Galaxy NAS LX5 chassis’ in the top of the rack.
A brief overview of Galaxy NAS LX5 installation follows:
1. Select an appropriate site for the rack.
2. Unpack the server and rack mounting hardware.
3. Attach the rack mounting hardware to the rack and to the server.
4. Mount the server into the rack.
5. Connect the cables.
6. Turn on and initialize the server.
1.4.2.1 Ball Bearing Slide Rail Rack Installation
Unpack the package box and locate the materials and documentation necessary for rack mounting. All
the equipment needed to install the server into the rack cabinet is included.
