Preface vii

Preface

The Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Hardware Installation Guide (R003S)

documents the hardware installation procedures for Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304,

and V 6308 systems.

This manual is intended for Customer Service personnel who are installing these

systems. Because the internal components of an OpenVOS ftServer system are

installed before arriving at a customer site, this manual documents only the procedures

necessary for setting up a customer system.

Revision Information

This manual is a revision. It adds information about installing the AA-E97900 RSN

console server to the Internet or to a modem, and about related null modem and PC

cable lengths.

Notation Conventions

This document uses the notation conventions described in this section.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

“Safety Considerations” on page 1-1

“Safety Notices” on page 1-2

“Required Tools” on page 1-3

“Unpacking the Cabinet” on page 1-3

“Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site” on page 1-6

“Removing the Packing Materials” on page 1-7

“Setting Up the Pallet Ramp” on page 1-14

“Removing the Cabinet from the Pallet” on page 1-16

“Verifying the Stratus Serial Number” on page 1-17

“Stabilizing the System” on page 1-18

“Disposing of Shipping Materials” on page 1-19

Safety Considerations

To ensure a safe and effective installation, follow the procedures exactly as they are

written in this manual. Before installing the system, take the following important

precautions:

Do not attempt to install the system without the assistance of another able-bodied

person. The size and weight of the system do not allow it to be safely installed by

one person.

The information in this manual assumes that the system site has been prepared

according to the instructions in the following manuals:

–Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Systems: Site Planning

Guide (R624)

–Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site Planning Guide (R582)

See these manuals before proceeding with the installation.

Safety Notices

1-2 Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Hardware Installation Guide (R003S)

Observe all applicable industry safety standards. See “Safety Notices” on

page 1-2.

Provide the necessary space and light to safely perform the installation.

Do not wear conductive objects, such as rings, bracelets, and keys.

Safety Notices

WARNING

Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect

type. Dispose of used batteries according to the

instructions provided with the battery.

WARNING

If you receive locking power cords with your system,

do not substitute other power cords. Use of the

locking power cords ensures proper grounding of the

system.

WARNING

The system uses two (if your system does not include

a network I/O enclosure) or four (if your system

includes a network I/O enclosure) power cords to

provide redundant sources of power. To fully remove

power from a system, disconnect all power cords. To

reduce the risk that electrical shock could injure a

person or damage the system, exercise caution when

working in the unit even when only one power cord is

connected.

WARNING

To prevent a cabinet from tipping over and injuring a

person or damaging the system, start installing

systems from the bottom of the cabinet upward.

WARNING

If you replace the modem cable supplied by Stratus,

use a cable with a gauge of at least 26 AWG to prevent

fire.

Required Tools

Unpacking and Positioning the Cabinet 1-3

Required Tools

To install the system, the following tools are necessary:

#2 Phillips screwdriver

Scissors or utility knife

Metal shears to cut pallet straps

3/8” drive ratchet with 9/16” socket

Open-ended 9/16” box wrench

Assorted open-end and/or box wrenches

ESD static kit

Assorted tie wraps

Unpacking the Cabinet

The cabinet-mounted system is enclosed in a cardboard shipping container, which is

secured to a shipping pallet by exterior tie-down straps. (Inside the cardboard, interior

straps secure the cabinet to the pallet.) A ramp for rolling the cabinet off the pallet is

attached to the front of the shipping container, along with two transition plates, which

you use to secure the ramp to the pallet. A lever bar is secured to the ramp, for use in

tipping the cabinet to remove it from the pallet. Labels on the cardboard cap indicate

the front and rear of the cabinet.

Figure 1-1 shows a shipping container for a 38U cabinet that contains one or more

systems and optional components. (“U,” for unit, equals 1.75 inches (in.), or 4.45

centimeters (cm).)

Unpacking the Cabinet

1-4 Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Hardware Installation Guide (R003S)

Figure 1-1. Cabinet Packaged for Shipping

1. Check the packing list to verify that you have received the correct shipment.

2. Verify that the Tip-N-Tell and Shockwatch indicators on the outer sides of the

shipping container have not been activated.

CAUTION

If you received the wrong shipment, or if a handling

indicator has been activated, do not proceed with the

unpacking. Contact the CAC immediately.

3. Verify that the area through which you must move the system has adequate

clearance, as the following figures indicate:

Figure 1-2 shows the dimensions of a packaged 38U cabinet.

Figure 1-3 shows the clearances required at the installation site.

Include the height of the pallet jack when you calculate the overall system height.

Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site

1-6 Stratus ftServer V 2302, V 4304, and V 6308 Hardware Installation Guide (R003S)

If the corridor and door dimensions are large enough to accommodate the

unpacked cabinet still tied to its pallet, use a pallet jack to move it from the delivery

site to the installation site, as described in “Moving the Cabinet to the Installation

Site” on page 1-6.

If the corridor and door dimensions are too small to accommodate the unpacked

cabinet still tied to its pallet, unpack the cabinet and unload it from the pallet before

you move it to the installation site. In this case, use the pallet jack to move the

unpacked cabinet as close to the installation site as possible. Then, unpack the

cabinet, remove it from its pallet, and roll it carefully on its casters to the installation

site.

Moving the Cabinet to the Installation Site

WARNING

To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, two

persons are required to move, unpack, and install an

ftServer system. Because of the size and weight of

ftServer systems, have professional movers deliver

and move the packaged units to the installation site.

CAUTION

To prevent or minimize condensation on the system’s

internal and external surfaces, avoid exposing the system

to extreme temperature and/or humidity changes when

moving it to the installation site. If the system has been

exposed to extreme temperature or humidity conditions

during transit, or if condensation is present, see the

section “Stabilizing the System” on page 1-18 for

stabilization guidelines.

When shipped, the system cabinet is tied to the pallet beneath it. The pallet has a

clearance for a pallet jack to move the unit. When moving a system, follow these

guidelines:

1. Verify that the unpacked system is still secured to the pallet.

2. Use a pallet jack to move the system on its pallet to the installation site.
