Planning and installing devices in a rack cabinet
It is beyond the scope of this guide to provide the steps of installing various
hardware components in IBM rack cabinets. For specific installation guidelines, refer
to the original documentation for each component. Following are some installation
considerations:
v
All rack-installable devices come with the necessary rack-mounting hardware and
complete instructions. If your IBM server is a tower model and you want to install
it as a rack model in a server rack cabinet, you must order the appropriate
tower-to-rack kit. This kit contains the appropriate covers, brackets, and the
cable-management arm that you need to install the server into the rack cabinet.
Follow the instructions included in the tower-to-rack kit.
v
Some installation procedures require two people.
v
Before you begin to install your server in the rack cabinet, review the safety
information that came with your server. These guidelines will help you work
safely while working with your server and options.
v
Review the documentation that came with your rack cabinet for additional safety,
cabling, and operating considerations.
v
To ensure rack cabinet stability, install the servers starting from the bottom of the
rack cabinet.
v
If you are installing different server models in the rack cabinet, install the
heaviest models in the lower part of the rack cabinet.
v
Ensure that you plan the rack cabinet installation within the guidelines for:
– Heat generation
– Electrical requirements
– Air flow
– Mechanical loading
