Rack-to-Tower Conversion Guide 1-1

This conversion guide provides instructions for trained service technicians in removing

one or more Dell™

systems from a rack cabinet and converting the system to a tower (or

deskside) version. One rack-to-tower conversion kit is required for each system to be

converted from a rack version system to a tower version system.

CAUTION: The system may be very heavy when fully loaded. To prevent personal

injury, do not attempt to move the system by yourself.

Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your server, storage system, or appliance from potential damage. For complete safety,

regulatory, and warranty information, refer to your System Information document.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack

installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warning

and/or caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack. Thus,

“component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to various

peripherals or supporting hardware.

WARNING: Installing Dell system components in a Dell rack without the front

and side stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially

resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install

the stabilizers before installing components in the rack.

WARNING: After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than

one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of

more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and injure

someone.

NOTE: Your Dell system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in

a Dell rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit

in any non-Dell rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your

responsibility to have the final combination of system and rack kit in a non-Dell rack cabinet

evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in

connection with such combinations.

• Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, Dell

recommends a minimum of two people to accomplish this task.

2H982bk1.book Page 1 Monday, November 5, 2001 10:12 AM

1-2 Rack-to-Tower Conversion Guide

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,

extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front

and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before

working on the rack.

• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component

into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking

position, and then slide the component into the rack.

• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.

The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

• Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other

systems/components in a rack.

Removing the Rack Doors

You must remove the doors from the rack cabinet to provide access to the interior of the

rack and to prevent damage to the doors.

For Dell rack cabinets, see the documentation provided with the rack for instructions on

removing rack doors.

Removing the System From the Rack

CAUTION: If you are removing more than one system from the rack cabinet,

remove the highest of the systems first. Complete the removal of the first

system from the rack before starting the second. Never extend more than one

system from the rack at a time.

WARNING: Removing a system from a position high up in the rack cabinet

requires up to four people and might require a sturdy, elevated platform on

which to stand. A mechanical lifting platform or similar equipment of the proper

capacity might also be useful. If you attempt to remove and lower the system

without enough people to safely perform the task, you risk personal injury to

yourself and others and damage to the system.

1 Shut down and turn off the system.

See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for instructions.

2 Disconnect the cables and power cord from the back of the system.

3 Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the front panel to the front vertical rails (at the

front of the rack cabinet).

4 Using two or more persons, grasp the system at each front handle and slide the system

out of the rack mounting rails (see Figure 1-2).

5 Place the system on a smooth work surface.

Guide de conversion de rack en tour 2-1

Ce guide de conversion contient des instructions destinées aux techniciens de maintenance

qualifiés et explique comment retirer un ou plusieurs systèmes Dell™

d’une armoire rack

pour les convertir en version tour ou de bureau. Un kit de conversion de rack en tour est

nécessaire pour chacun des systèmes à convertir.

ATTENTION : Votre système peut être extrêmement lourd lorsqu'il est

entièrement chargé. Pour éviter toute blessure, ne tentez pas de le déplacer

seul.

Instructions de sécurité

Respectez les consignes de sécurité de ce guide pour assurer votre sécurité personnelle et

pour contribuer à protéger votre serveur, votre système de stockage ou appareil, des

dommages potentiels. Pour obtenir toutes les informations de sécurité, réglementaires et les

garanties, reportez-vous au document intitulé Informations système.

Précautions à suivre concernant les produits destinés à être montés dans des

racks

Pour la stabilité du rack et pour votre sécurité, veuillez respecter les précautions suivantes.

Reportez-vous également à la documentation accompagnant le système et le rack pour

connaître les avertissements et/ou les mises en garde et les procédures spécifiques.

Les serveurs, les systèmes de stockage et les appareils sont considérés comme les

composants d'un rack. Ainsi, le terme "composant" fait référence à tout serveur, tout

système de stockage ou appareil, aussi bien qu'aux différents périphériques ou matériels.

AVERTISSEMENT : L'installation de composants d'un système Dell dans un rack

sans placer de stabilisateurs avant et latéraux peut provoquer le basculement du

rack, et générer des blessures potentielles dans certaines situations. C'est

pourquoi il faut toujours installer les stabilisateurs avant d'installer les

composants du rack.

AVERTISSEMENT : Après avoir installé le système/les composants dans un rack,

ne tirez jamais plus d'un composant du rack sur les supports coulissants. Le

poids représenté par plus d'un composant étendu pourrait en effet provoquer le

basculement du rack et blesser l'utilisateur.

REMARQUE : Votre système Dell est certifié sur le plan de la sécurité en tant qu'unité

autonome et en tant que composant destiné à être utilisé dans une armoire rack Dell, à l'aide du

kit de rack client de Dell. L'installation du système et du kit de rack Dell dans un rack d'une

autre marque n'a reçu aucune homologation des organismes de certification de la sécurité. Il est

de votre entière responsabilité de faire évaluer par un organisme de sécurité agréé la

combinaison finale du système et du kit de rack Dell dans un rack d'une autre marque. Dell

décline toute responsabilité et toutes garanties liées à ce type de combinaisons.

• Ne déplacez pas seul les racks volumineux. En raison de la hauteur et du poids du rack,

Dell recommande que cette tâche soit réalisée par deux personnes au minimum.

• Avant de travailler sur le rack, assurez-vous que les stabilisateurs sont bien en place sur

le rack et au sol, et que tout le poids du rack repose sur le sol. Installez les

stabilisateurs avant et latéraux (pour un rack simple) ou les stabilisateurs avant (pour

les racks multiples) avant de travailler sur le rack.

• Chargez toujours le rack du bas vers le haut, en plaçant toujours la plus forte charge en

premier.

• Assurez-vous que le rack est bien de niveau avant de sortir l'un des composants à l'aide

des supports coulissants.

• Agissez avec précaution lorsque vous appuyez sur les verrous des rails pour les libérer

et faire glisser un composant hors ou dans le rack. Les rails coulissants pourraient en

effet vous coincer les doigts.

• Après avoir inséré un composant dans le rack, étendez le rail en position maximum

jusqu'à son verrouillage puis faites glisser le composant dans le rack.

• Ne surchargez pas le circuit d'alimentation c.a. dérivé alimentant le rack en électricité.

La charge totale du rack ne doit pas excéder 80 % de la puissance du circuit dérivé.

• Assurez-vous que l'air circule suffisamment entre les composants du rack.

• Ne montez jamais sur l'un des composants du système lors de l'entretien.
