Rack Installation Guide 5

CAUTION: Safety Instructions

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

and working environment from potential damage. For complete safety and regulatory information, see

the Product Information Guide that shipped with your system. Warranty information might be included

in this document or as a separate document.

SAFETY: Rack Mounting of Systems

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

documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and procedures.

Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any system as well as

to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front

stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a

rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.

Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.

CAUTION: 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 may result in serious injury.

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

using the customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit in any other rack cabinet has not been

approved by any safety agencies. It is your responsibility to ensure that the final combination of system and rack

complies with all applicable safety standards and local electric code requirements. Dell disclaims all liability and

warranties in connection with such combinations.

• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. If you install the

kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a Dell rack.

CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, a minimum of two people

should accomplish this task.

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

• 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 component when servicing other components in a rack.

6 Rack Installation Guide

General Installation Instructions

This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or more systems

in an open-frame relay rack or in a rack cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed without tools in

manufacturer’s rack cabinets that have square holes; the VersaRails™ rack kit can be installed in most

industry-standard rack cabinets that have square or round holes. The procedures for installing both

RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system installed in the rack.

CAUTION: Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use only the rack kit for your system.

Using the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal injury.

NOTE: If your system is a tower version, you must install a tower-to-rack kit. Instructions for installing this kit are

included in a separate document.

The RapidRails rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets.

NOTICE: The VersaRails rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a rack that meets the

specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard

ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494.

One rack kit is required for each system that is installed in a rack.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "CAUTION: Safety Instructions" on

page 5, as well as the safety instructions found in your

Product Information Guide

for additional information.

CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the procedures for the current system

before attempting to install the next system.

CAUTION: Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters. The cabinet has no brakes.

Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet. Retract the leveling feet when relocating the rack cabinet.

Avoid long or steep inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the leveling feet for

support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling.

Important Safety Information

Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in the rack.

CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect yourself as well as others who

may be involved. Your system may be very large and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to

prevent injury to yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are installed high up

in the rack.

Rack Installation Guide 7

Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone racks or the front

stabilizer on racks joined to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a

rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances.

Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing components in the rack.

CAUTION: 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 may result in serious injury.

The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or other component is pulled out

of the rack with the slide assemblies fully extended. See the documentation provided with the rack cabinet

for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack cabinet.

CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never attempt to remove or install them

by yourself.

CAUTION: Store the two doors where they will not injure someone if the doors accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

For a 5-U system, you must allow 5 U (8.75 inches) of vertical space for each system you install in the rack

(see Figure 1-2).

Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with

center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm

(0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails (see Figure 1-2). Rack cabinets may

have round or square holes.

NOTE: The vertical rails may be marked by horizontal lines and numbers in 1-U increments. If you want, you can

make a note of the number marking on the rack’s vertical rail. It is not necessary to mark or place tape on the rack.

NOTE: Your rack may already be marked and not require this procedure.

Figure 1-2. One Rack Unit

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the sliding rail assemblies so that the first system

is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.

10 Rack Installation Guide

To mark the rack, perform the following steps:

1

Place a mark on the rack’s front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom of the system you are

installing in the rack cabinet.

The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between holes (marked with

a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—see Figure 1-3).

2

Place a mark approximately 8.75 inches above the original mark you made (or count up 15 holes in a

rack that meets EIA-310 standards) and mark the rack’s front vertical rails with a felt-tipped pen or

masking tape (if you counted holes, place a mark just above the top hole). This mark or piece of tape

indicates where the system’s upper edge will be located on the vertical rails (see Figure 1-3).

Rack Installation Guide 11

Configuring the Sliding Rail Assemblies

The rotating mounting brackets on the mounting rails allow you to configure them as either RapidRails

or VersaRails. The mounting-bracket flange on the RapidRails configuration has two hooks and a push

button (see Figure 1-5). The mounting-bracket flange on the VersaRail has three holes (see Figure 1-6).

NOTE: The rack kit ships with the sliding rail assemblies in the RapidRails configuration.

To rotate the mounting bracket and change the mounting rails from RapidRails to VersaRails

(see Figure 1-4):

1

Lift the release lever on the rotating mounting bracket.

2

Rotate the bracket and slide it up off the two shoulder standoffs.

3

Continue to rotate the bracket 180 degrees until you can set the notches back over the shoulder

standoffs.

Cable Management

Use the cable tray and

cable-management arm

to manage your system’s I/O and power cables. Use the

tie-

wraps on the cable tray to

bundle the cables together

. Use the cable-management arm to contain the cables

by routing them through the

upper and lower wire baskets.

NOTE: You can attach the

cable-management arm to either side of the rack cabinet. If you attach the

cable-management arm to the right side of the rack cabinet, you can open both cable baskets without moving the

cable-management arm. If you attach it to the left side, you have to swing the cable-management arm out toward you

to open the cable baskets.

NOTE:

If you attach

the

cable-management arm to the left side of the rack, you must disconnect the lower release

latch on the cable-management arm before you can remove the power supply.

NOTE: You will attach the

cable-management arm retainer to the side opposite of where you attach the cable-

management arm.

Attaching the Cable Tray

To attach the cable tray to the back of the system:

1

Locate the tab slots on the left and right outer edges of the system and the corresponding metal tabs

on the left and right edges of the cable tray (see Figure 1-8).

2

Align and insert the metal tabs on the cable tray into the tab slots on the system and seat the cable tray

into place.

3

Push down and tighten the captive thumbscrew on the cable tray to secure it to the system

If applicable, attach the system status-indicator cable plug to the back panel of the system

(see Figure 1-9).

2

Open both baskets on the cable-management arm by squeezing the release latches on each basket.

The baskets swing open to enable cables to be routed within the arms (see Figure 1-9).

3 Route the

system status-indicator cable

through the upper basket and then through the lower basket

of the

cable-management arm

. Insert the LED end of

the system status-indicator cable

into one of

the indicator slots on the cable-management arm (see Figure 1-9).

Routing Cables

1

Attach the I/O cable connectors and power cable connectors to their respective connectors on the back

panel of the system.

For details on cable connections, see your system’s Getting Started Guide and the Hardware Owner’s

Manual.

NOTE: Use the cable retention brackets (if present) on the back of the power supplies to provide strain relief

for the power cables.

2

Bundle all cables together using the tie-wraps on the cable tray (see Figure 1-9).

NOTE: To keep the cable-management arm from sagging, it is critical that you use the upper tie-wrap on the

cable tray that is on the same side as the cable-management arm (see Figure 1-9).

3

If not already open from routing the system status-indicator cable, open both baskets on the cable-

management arm by squeezing the release latches on each basket. The baskets swing open to enable

cables to be routed within the arms (see Figure 1-9).

4 Route cables through the upper basket and then through the lower basket of the

cable-management

arm

.

NOTE: For proper system cable installation, you must route the cables first through the upper basket followed

by the lower basket.

5

Close the cable baskets.

6

Unscrew the thumbscrews that secure the front of the system to the front vertical rail.

7

Slide the system in and out of the rack to verify that the cables are routed correctly and do not bind,

stretch, or pinch with the movement of the cable-management arm. Adjust the cable positioning

inside the cable-management arm baskets as needed.

NOTE:

If you pull the system out to its furthest extension, the mounting rails will lock in the extended position. To

release the lock, press the release latch on the side of the slide assembly and then slide the system into the rack.
