Introduction

1.1 Overview

This chapter provides a brief outline of the functions and features of SX-Aurora TSUBASA

A300-2.

1.2 Unpacking the System

Inspect the box the SX-Aurora TSUBASA A300-2 was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, please file a damage claim with the carrier

who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be situated in

a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and

electromagnetic fields are generated. It will also require a grounded AC power outlet nearby.

Be sure to read the precautions and considerations noted in Appendix B.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack.

2.2 Preparing for Setup

The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to

install it into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.

 Choosing a Setup Location

•

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

where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.

•

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely

(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow

sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing.

•

This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment

rooms, service closets, etc.).

 Rack Precautions

•

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that

the full weight of the rack rests on them.

•

In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in-

stallations, the racks should be coupled together.

16

Chapter 2: Server Installation

•

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from

the rack.

•

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

taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

 Server Precautions

•

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.

•

Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

•

Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your

way up.

•

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

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

•

Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.

•

When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the

servers closed to maintain proper cooling.

 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 room's ambient temperature. Therefore,

consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with

the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).

•

Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow 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.

17

SX-Aurora TSUBASA A300-2 User's Guide

•

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.

•

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.).

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 filled 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.

18

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2.3 Installing the Rails

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly

procedure.

The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting

hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the

specific rack you are using. Only trained and qualified personnel should be allowed to install,

replace, or service this equipment.

 Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the chassis

and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is fixed directly to the chassis and

an outer rail that attaches to the rack.

The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you

decide not to install it into a rack.

Inner Rail:

pre-attached to the chassis

Inner Rail Extension:

attach to the chassis

Outer Rails:

slide together

Front and Rear Brackets:

attach to the rack

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull

the system from a rack only.

19

SX-Aurora TSUBASA A300-2 User's Guide

 Installing the Optional Inner Rail Extensions

Attaching the optional inner rail extensions allows you to pull the server farther out of the

rack. Do not put downward force on the chassis when it is fully extended.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

1. Place the inner rail extensions at the side of the chassis. Align the holes of the inner rail extension with the

hooks on the side of the chassis. Make sure the extension faces outward like the inner rail.

2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis and under the hooks until the quick release bracket

snaps into place, securing the extension to the chassis.

3. If desired, you can install a screw to further secure the extension to the chassis.

4. Repeat for the other inner rail extension.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Optional Inner Rail Extensions

 Assembling the Outer Rails

Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack.

Assembling the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match

the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.

2. Align the round post in the rear rail (B) with the round hole at the end of the slot in the

front rail (A), and slide the front section into the rear section.

Figure 2-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

 Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack

holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you

must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.

Outer Rail Installation

1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the front of

the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place,

securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.

2. Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.

3. Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D) and push

the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to

the rack.

4. Repeat the procedure for the other outer rail assembly.
