2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation General Enclosure Precautions • Review the electrical and general safety precautions. • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. • Install the heaviest enclosure components in the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
Installing the ISS3112-RP2 NAS Server into a Rack Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded.
2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation 1. Attach the slide rails to the rack as shown in the example in Figure 2-2.
Installing the ISS3112-RP2 NAS Server into a Rack 2. Fully extend the rail slides as shown in the example in Figure 2-3.

2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation Installing the MIS NAS JBOD Enclosure into a Rack This section provides information on installing the MIS NAS JBOD enclosure into a rack. If the JBOD enclosure has already been mounted into a rack, refer to the sections “Installing Drives in the MIS JBOD Enclosure” on page 36 and “Check, Adjust or Install NAS Cables” on page 38.
Required Tools Acclimatization If the equipment has been in transit for more than 24 hours to reach the install site, wait 4 to 8 hours for the equipment to acclimate to the data center or lab environment before proceeding with the installation. Caution: Failure to let equipment acclimate may cause condensation damage to the equipment. Preparing to Install Uncrate the rack and inspect the shipment for any damage. (Refer to “Inspecting a Shipment” on page 11).
2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation Installing MIS JBOD Enclosures After a shipment has been inspected (“Inspecting a Shipment” on page 11) and acclimated (“Acclimatization” on page 21) to the location, there are two scenarios for installing the JBOD enclosure. One way is to install the platforms into a rack that is already on location (D-Rack or other supported rack systems).
Installing MIS JBOD Enclosures the sides of the rack. The brackets combine with a vertical 6x16 metric hex flange bolt to make the D-Rack Stiffener assembly. Note: Installation and use of the D-Rack Stiffener assembly is important because of the extremely heavy system weights that can occur with SGI NAS JBOD configurations.
2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation Figure 2-7 Alignment with the D-Rack Stiffener Vertical Bolt Installing the Rolling Rails These instructions are for installing the rolling rails on chassis shipped separately (i.e., not in a rack). The rolling rails are used to support the chassis in the rack and provide ease of movement out the front and back of the rack, for easier and safer serviceability (see detail in Figure 2-8 on page 25).
Installing the Rolling Rails sgi Figure 2-8 Rolling Rails Example Installing the Outer Rails 1. Hold up the outer rails to the rack to determine if the depth is correct. 2. If the rail cannot be secured to the rack at the front and rear, perform the following steps. a. Remove the four screws that hold the rear mounting plate to the rail. b. Move the rear mounting plate until the depth of the rail is correct for the depth of the rack. c. Secure the screws on the adjustment plate firmly in place.
2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation Note: If installing in a D-Rack with the D-Rack Stiffener (see Figure 2-6 on page 23), leave the vertical bolts loose. Then, using the small screws provided, attach the outer rail to the D-Rack Stiffener and secure the screws firmly. Make sure the screw heads are counter-sunk, so as not to catch on anything rolling in the rack.
Installing the Rolling Rails 2 5 1 3 alignment tool 4 Figure 2-9 Adjustment Using the Alignment Tool 4. Tighten the screws on the right rail in order of front then back, leaving the middle bolts last (for D-Racks), so as to keep as straight an alignment as possible. 5. Double-check the alignment by moving the alignment tool through the rack. There should be no play between the alignment tool and the rails, see Figure 2-10 on page 28 for an example.
2: ISS3112-RP2 Server, MIS JBOD and IS2224 JBOD NAS System Hardware Installation Figure 2-10 Slide the Alignment Tool from Front to Back 6. When satisfied, remove the alignment tool from the rack. Installing the Air Ducts 1. Place the left air duct above the left rail, see Figure 2-11 on page 29 for an example. 2. Using its mounting screws, attach the air duct to the rack. Note: Some air ducts use a Velcro strip in place of a second screw.
