Safety Guidelines Before you remove a server cover, observe these safety guidelines: • Only technically qualified personnel should integrate the server. • Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. • Turn off the server using the push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server, and unplug the AC power cord from each power supply or wall outlet. • Label and disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the I/O panel on the back of the server.
CAUTIONS ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) AND ESD PROTECTION: ESD can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other components. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD while hot-swapping SCSI hard disk drives. However, we recommend doing all procedures in this manual only at an ESD-protected workstation.
Equipment Rack Precautions WARNINGS ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack. MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit.

Introduction The SC450NX MP server is designed to either stand upright (pedestal mode) or be mounted in a rack (rack mode). Figures 1 and 2 on page 12 show examples of these configurations. Before operation, you must purchase an adapter kit to configure the server for one of the two modes. If you have already created a pedestal server but now want to install it in a rack, you will also need an adapter kit.
Table 1. SC450NX MP Server Physical Specifications Specification Pedestal Mode Rack Mode Height 48.26 cm (19 inches) 7u Width 31.12cm (12.25 inches) 19 inch rack Depth 63.5cm (25 inches) 25 inches Weight 38.25 kg (85 lbs) minimum configuration 45 kg (100 lbs) maximum configuration 38.
Configuring for Rack Mount Before starting, please read “Safety Guidelines” on page v. Prepare the Slide Assemblies See Figure 3. 1. Remove the slide assemblies from the kit. 2. Orient a slide assembly so that the smallest outer bar is facing down. 3. Fully extend the telescoping slide assembly until the center bar hits the safety latch on the small outer bar (all three overlapping bars will be visible). 4.
Prepare the Server Before you can install the server in the 19-inch equipment rack, you must install a bezel, handles, and the small bars of the slide assemblies onto the sides of the server. Attaching the Bezel Frame and Door To be installed in a rack, the server needs a bezel frame with rectangular cutouts where the chassis handles fit. 1. Attach the bezel frame by inserting the tabs at the corner of the frame into their corresponding rectangular slots on the chassis. 2.
Attach the Small Bar of the Slide Assembly to the Server See Figure 4. 1. Remove four screws from the kit. 2. While facing the side of the server, orient the small bar so that the flat side faces the top and the right-angle end faces the front of the server. 3. Align the first hole in the right-angle end of the bar with the first threaded hole in the side of the chassis. 4. Insert a screw through the hole in the bar and into the chassis wall. Then loosely tighten the screw. 5.
Prepare the Equipment Rack Before you can install the server in the 19-inch equipment rack, you must attach the center bar and large outer bar assemblies to the vertical rails of the rack. Attach the Right-angle Extension Brackets to the Equipment Rack / NOTE Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly spaced in a 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/2-inch sequence. Perform the following steps carefully; brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for the next server you install in a rack.
Attach the Center Bar and Large Outer Bar Assemblies to the Equipment Rack See Figure 6. 1. Orient a center bar and large outer bar assembly so that the flat side is facing toward the brackets attached to the vertical rails and the safety latch on the center bar is near the back of the rack. 2. Press the flat side of the outer bar into the U-shaped sections of the brackets. 3.
Install the Server in the Rack WARNINGS ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.

Configuring for Pedestal Mount Install Chassis Feet See Figure 8. 1. Remove two system feet and two screws from the kit. 2. Each system foot has one screw hole and, on the opposite end, two slots that fit two tabs extending from the chassis wall. Orient the chassis foot to align these features with their corresponding parts of the chassis wall. 3. Insert the end of the foot with the two slots under the lip at the edge of the chassis. 4.
Install Bezel Frame and Door 1. Attach the bezel frame by inserting the tabs at the corner of the frame into their corresponding rectangular slots on the chassis. 2. Attach the bezel door: with the door all the way open (left, as it stands upright in a pedestal mount), align the tabs on the door with their corresponding hinge loops on the chassis; slide the door down to engage the tabs in the loops.
Changing from Pedestal to Rack To change your server from pedestal mode to rack mode, you must complete two basic steps: removing the components of the pedestal mount, then configuring the server for a rack mount. Because configuring for a rack mount was described in an earlier section (page 13), this section covers only a few details unique to your task and refers you to the earlier section for the rest of the required information. Before starting, please read “Safety Guidelines” on page v.
Exchange the Bezel Frame To be installed in a rack, the server needs a new bezel frame with rectangular cutouts where the chassis handles fit. You need to remove the old bezel frame and install the new one from the rack kit. 1. Remove the bezel door: with the door open all the way (to the left), lift it upward to release it from its hinges on the chassis. 2.
