Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your K1048-RT up and running.

Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system

operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your

system has come to you preinstalled with Ethernet Drives. If your system is not

already fully integrated with a mainboard, processors, system memory etc., please

turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing speciﬁ c

components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the K1048-RT server was shipped in and note if it was

damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should ﬁ le a damage

claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the K1048-RT server.

It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas

where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic ﬁ elds are generated. You will also

need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions

in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the K1048-RT was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies,

two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the

system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation

process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before

you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

2-2

K1048-RT Microserver 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) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back

of the rack to allow for sufﬁ cient airﬂ ow and ease in servicing.

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the ﬂ oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁ rst, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a

power failure.

• Allow any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching

them.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

Rack Mounting Considerations

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a

rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.

The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially ﬁ lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

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).

Reduced Airﬂ ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airﬂ ow required

for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not

arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

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.

2-4

K1048-RT Microserver User's Manual

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack

itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply

connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of

power strips, etc.).

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the

rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean

that the assembly procedure differs slightly. You should also refer to the installation

instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Note: These rails will ﬁ t a rack between 27" and 38" deep.

Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are

designed to pull the system from a rack only.

Stability Hazard: The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the

rack must be bolted to the ﬂ oor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure

to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
