Chapter 2: Setting Up Your Server

Setting up the hardware

To make sure that your working environment is safe:

■ Use a clean, dry, flat, stable surface for your server. Allow at least 6 inches at the

back of the server for cabling and air circulation.

■ Use the instructions on your server’s setup poster to set up your hardware.

■ Use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with surge protection for protection

from power outages and power spikes.

■ Avoid subjecting your server to extreme temperature changes. Do not expose your

server to direct sunlight, heating ducts, or other heat-generating objects. Damage

caused by extreme temperatures is not covered by your warranty. As a general rule,

your server is safest at temperatures that are comfortable for you.

■ Keep your server and magnetic media away from equipment that generates

magnetic fields, such as unshielded stereo speakers. Strong magnetic fields can erase

data on both diskettes and hard drives. Even a telephone placed too close to the

server may cause interference.

Converting to a rackmount server

To convert your server to a rackmount configuration, a rackmount conversion kit is

required. To obtain the conversion kit, contact Gateway Customer Care, Gateway Sales,

or visit accessories.gateway.com

. For more information on contacting Customer Care, see

“Telephone support” on page 168.

Contents of the conversion kit

The rackmount conversion kit contains the following:

■ Handles (2)

■ Handle screws (6)

■ Rack stud screws (6)

■ Hinge cover (1)

■ “Suitcase” jumper (1)

■ Front panel sticker (1)

Warning

Your server comes with a 3-wire AC power cords fitted with the correct

plug style for your region. If these plugs do not match the connector

on your UPS or wall outlet, do not attempt to modify the plugs in any

way. Use a UPS or wall outlet that is appropriate for the supplied

AC power cords.

Setting up the hardware

Tools required

The following tools are required to make the conversion:

■ Phillips head screwdriver (#2)

■ Straight blade screwdriver

■ Anti-static wrist strap (recommended)

To convert your server to rackmount configuration:

1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 41.

2 Follow the instructions in “Opening the server case” on page 42.

3 Follow the instructions in “Removing the bezel assembly” on page 44.

4 Remove the two screws on the back of the chassis that secure the top cover to the

chassis.

5 Slide the top cover back about two inches, then remove it from the chassis.

6 Remove the chassis feet from the bottom of the server.

Warning

Lifting the server and attaching it to the rack is a two-person job. If

needed, use an appropriate lifting device. A fully loaded Gateway

9510 server weighs about 80 lbs (36.2 kg).
