Chapter 3 Installing the Server
Preparing for Server Installation
• Ensure that the air-conditioning meets the thermal requirements listed in the “Server
Specifications”.
• Ensure that the cabinet or rack meets the requirements listed in the “Rack Requirements” section on
page 3-4.
• Ensure that the site power meets the power requirements listed in the “Server Specifications”. If
available, you can use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power failures.
Rack Requirements
This section provides the requirements for the standard open racks.
The rack must be of the following type:
• A standard 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English
universal hole spacing, per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
• The rack post holes can be square 0.38-inch (9.6 mm), round 0.28-inch (7.1 mm), #12-24 UNC, or
#10-32 UNC when you use the supplied slide rails.
• The minimum vertical rack space per server must be the following:
–
Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C220 (1RU): one RU, equal to 1.75 in. (44.45 mm).
–
Cisco Connected Safety and Security UCS C240 (2RU): The minimum vertical rack space per
server must be two RUs, equal to 3.5 in. (88.9 mm).
