Moving Server Chassis
When lifting the chassis, be aware of its weight, and follow these guidelines:
Do not try to lift the chassis using the handles on the side. These handles are intended only for moving
and adjusting the chassis position.
Caution
• Never lift the chassis alone—Always use two people to lift the chassis. If available, use a scissor jack
or other lifting device designed for installing heavy equipment into data center racks.
•
Disconnect all power and external cables before lifting the chassis.
•
Remove all FEXes, power supplies, fans, and servers from the chassis before lifting.
•
Ensure that your footing is solid and the weight of the system is evenly distributed between your feet.
•
Lift the system slowly, keeping your back straight. Lift with your legs, not with your back. Bend at the
knees, not at the waist.
Do not remove the Power Distribution Unit (PDU) located at the back of the chassis.Caution
Installation Guidelines
When installing the chassis, follow these guidelines:
•
Plan your site configuration and prepare the site before installing the chassis. See Site Planning and
Maintenance Records, on page 79 for the recommended site planning tasks. For details, see the Cisco
UCS Site Preparation Guide.
•
Record the information listed in Site Planning and Maintenance Records, on page 79 as you install and
configure the chassis.
•
Ensure that there is adequate space around the chassis to allow for servicing the chassis and for airflow.
•
Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the heat dissipation requirements listed in Technical Specifications,
on page 69
•
Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in Rack Requirements, on page 30.
Jumper power cords are available for use in a rack. See Specifications for the Cisco
UCS 5108 Blade Server Chassis Power Supply Units, on page 72.
Note
•
Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in Technical Specifications, on page
69. We recommend that you use a UPS to protect the UCS system. Using an unprotected supply exposes
you to a risk of system failure due to input supply voltage variations or failures.
