Chapter 2. Server Installation 2.1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your R423-E3 server up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc.
2.4.2 2.4.3 2.4.4 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 before extending a component from the rack.
Reliable Ground 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.). 2.5 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the R423-E3 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-release rails provided.
2.5.2 Installing the Inner Rail Extension The R423-E3 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail extension is attached to the inner rail to mount the chassis in the rack. Installing the Inner Rails (Figure 2-2) 1.
2.5.3 Outer Rack Rails R423-E3 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches. Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack (Figure 2-3) 1. Secure the back end of the outer rail to the rack, using the screws provided. 2. Press the button where the two outer rails are joined to retract the smaller outer rail. 3.
