Installing the server into a rack

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, be sure that:
  • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor.
  • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks.
  • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation.
  • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations.
  • Only one component is extended at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than one component is extended for any reason.

Procedure

  1. Install the server and cable management arm into the rack. For more information see the installation instructions that ship with the Quick Deploy Rail System.
  2. Connect peripheral devices to the server. For information on identifying connectors, see "Rear panel components."
  3. Connect the power cord to the server .
  4. Secure the cables to the cable management arm.
    IMPORTANT: When using cable management arm components, be sure to leave enough slack in each of the cables to prevent damage to the cables when the server is extended from the rack.
  5. Connect the power cord to the power source.
