Unpacking
Unpack your server carefully onto a clean and level surface and examine it for any signs of transit damage. Contact your supplier immediately if anything appears to be damaged, or any parts missing. Please retain all packaging in case of future need to return a server.
Supplied accessories
In your white accessories box, you will have:
•power cable
•server motherboard manual
•spare pair of front panel air filters
•2 × rack rails and screws
Depending on specification, HDMI / DVI adapters may be included.
Lifting
The weight of your R-Series or P-Series server is stated on the server’s product label and may require a two-person lift, especially when manoeuvring one into a rack. Observe your internal manual handling recommendations to avoid injury.
Rack Mounting
The front panel fascia must first be removed before mounting in a rack.
Note: Once mounted, sufficient finger access should ideally be allowed in the rack sides to again remove the fascia for maintenance. |
R-Series and P-Series media servers are supplied with rack mount slide rails and fixings. To fit the rails supplied, follow the instructions included with the rails.
Remove the plastic front fascia before mounting. On R-Series, two small cross-head screws retain the plastic fascia panel, to the bottom left and right. Locate and remove these before attempting to remove the fascia.
After removing the two screws, pull the fascia forwards and straight off the unit. It is retained by four push-fit fasteners. Refit the fascia after mounting. Where side access is restricted for unracking, a 7thSense tool is available to insert into the grille. Take care not to damage the grille with other tools, or force when removing.
Secure the unit to the rack using two rack bolts to each side. Ensure that each server is properly secured to the rack cabinet.
Replace the fascia and secure using the two screws previously removed.
P-Series (2U) servers are simply push-fit with no screws, but removed and reattached in the same way.
Rack Stability Precautions
•Ensure the rack is stable (e.g. bolted to the floor) before sliding out the server.
•Do not place objects on equipment projecting from a rack (e.g. do not use as a shelf).
•Only slide out one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.
Connecting External Equipment
To ensure best performance from the server and compliance with relevant EMC regulations, this equipment should only be used with high-quality shielded data and signal cables.
Only equipment and accessories approved to IEC 60950-1 and SELV circuits may be connected to the server. All equipment and accessories shall comply to the relevant standard for the server’s port to which it is connected.
