Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1011M-T2 up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your 1011M-T2 system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, system memory etc.
AS1011M-T2 User's Manual Choosing a Setup Location - Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches). - Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. - This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
AS1011M-T2 User's Manual 2-4 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 1011M-T2 into a rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
AS1011M-T2 User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the 1011M-T2 into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accomodate the width of the telco rack. Figure 2-4.
AS1011M-T2 User's Manual 2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup After you install the 1011M-T2 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the system (Figure 2-5) First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.
