Appendix B: SGI 1400 Server Rackmount Installation
SHOCK AND VIBRATION CONDITIONS: The server’s mounting rails do not provide
dampening and insulation from excess mechanical vibration and shock. If you are
installing the server in alocation that is subject to shock andvibration in excess of the
values these units are rated to, you must obtain an appropriate mounting system.
Note: Although the hardware supplied with the server enables you to mount these
systems in most all 19-inch equipment racks, installation in such racks may require
submittaltoan approvedsafetyagencyforevaluation,certification,and licensing for the
new rack-system combination. Check with your local building inspector for
requirements applicable to your location.
Warning: AVOID INJURY: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use
two people and/ or a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The
minimum server configuration weighs 38 kg (85 lbs); the maximum weighs 45 kg (100
lbs).Use onlyahand-truck orother mechanical assistunit to movethe serverfromone
location to another.
Caution: 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.
If one is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic
wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—
when handling components.
SERVER COOLING AND AIRFLOW: Operating the server with the covers removed can
damage the server components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the
covers before turning on the server.
