Application installation

Edit online

Attention: Allow the enclosure assembly to acclimate to room temperature before installation. Store the drives at room temperature for at least 2 hours before use.

Identify the sections of the rack rails

Several rail assemblies are provided:

Left and right slide assemblies
Left and right cabinet section assemblies
Left and right chassis section assemblies

Install the handles on the server

You must install two handles on each side of the server before lifting it.

CAUTION:

Make sure that you have adequate support to lift the system. Releasing it before it is fixed in the rack might cause personal injury or damage the equipment.

To install the handles on the server, do the following steps.

Take out the handle carriers on the rear side by releasing the thumb screws, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 1. Remove handles from handle carriers
Remove all four handles from the two carriers.
Install side handles on both sides of server and make sure that they are securely tightened before lifting the server.
CAUTION:
Before lifting or transporting the server, make sure the four side handles (two on each side) are securely screwed into the server. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury and server damage.

When you are ready to install the server in the rack, you must use a lifting device. Alternatively, use four individuals, each lifting the server by the side handles to place the server in position and begin inserting it into the rack rails.

After the server is partially inserted into the rack rails, you must remove the server side handles to fully insert the server into the rack. Then, you can place the handles back in the drive carriers and replace the carriers into the back of the server.

See "Unlock the rails to insert or remove the chassis" for more details on how to install the server into the rack rails.

Disconnect chassis section slide assembly

Refer to the following figure to open the chassis section slide assembly.

Locking switch is shown in yellow highlighting — Figure 2. Disconnecting the chassis slide assembly

Install the chassis slide rails to the appliance

With the heads of the locating pins protruding through the set of keyhole openings in the chassis section assembly, pull the slide toward the front of the chassis until the screw holes line up, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 3. Install the chassis slide rails to the appliance
Attach the slide by inserting two M4 screws through the holes in the slide and securing them to the chassis.
Repeat these steps for the other side of the chassis.

Attach the rack slide rails to the rack

Define the "U" spacing and attach the slide, as shown in the following figure.

Attach the front mounting bracket to the rack rail.
Attach the rear mounting bracket to the rack rail.

Unlock the rails to insert or remove the chassis

With a suitable lift or with four people, align the chassis with the extended rails.
Continue to close until the side rails lock.
After the server is partially inserted into the rack rails, remove the server-side handles.
Place the handles back in the drive carriers and replace the carriers into the back of the server.
Move the lever to the unlock position to close or remove the chassis, as shown in the following figure.

Cable the appliance

On the rear panel, connect the C13 end of the power cables to the C14 inlets in the PSUs. The power supply power connectors are in the center at the bottom of the rear panel, as shown in the following figure.
Figure 6. Rear of appliance
The Ethernet connections are located just to the left of the center of the appliance and are next to each other. Connect a standard Ethernet cable to the left Ethernet port.
Press the power button that is on the bottom center of the appliance front panel.
To ensure that the power is on, verify that the power and network link lights are lit and listen for running fans.
