SG-9100 shipping containers are designed to protect contents under normal shipping
conditions. Nevertheless, inspect each carton carefully for signs of damage that may
have occurred during transportation. If the container is damaged, document the damage
with photographs and contact the transport carrier immediately.
NOTE
The Installation warranty is effective from the time the
shipment is received until the installation is complete.
Check all equipment and accessories against the shipping manifest. If any parts or
accessories are missing or defective contact the representative for replacement.
Mounting the SG-9100
Space and Airflow Requirements
To allow for servicing and adequate airflow, observe the following space and airflow
requirements when deciding where to install a rack:
Leave a minimum clearance of 63.5 cm (25 in) in front of the rack.
Leave a minimum clearance of 76.2 cm (30 in) behind the rack.
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the
back of another rack or row of racks.
The SG-9100 draws in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the
rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow
ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to
allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
When vertical space in the rack is not filled by a server or rack component, the gaps
between the components cause changes in airflow through the rack and across the
servers. Cover all gaps with blanking panels to maintain proper airflow.
Rack Mounting the Service Gateway
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.
