Assembling the Liquid
Cooling Package Plus
6.2.1 Preparatory work on the
server enclosure
Before the Liquid Cooling Package Plus can be bayed onto the server enclos-
ure, the following work should be carried out.
- Dismantle the side panels,
- Seal the server enclosure and
- Dismantle the server enclosure door.
Dismantle the side panels
Proceed as follows to dismantle the side panels:
• Loosen and remove the 8 assembly screws found on each side panel of the
server enclosure.
• Remove all side panel securing elements from the side of the server enclos-
ure onto which the Liquid Cooling Package Plus is to be bayed.
• Dismantle both side panel mountings from the upper mounting rail of the
server enclosure. Use an appropriate lever to do this.
• Loosen and remove the screws on both of the side panel mounting brackets
(upper and lower) in the middle of the mounting rail.
• Loosen and remove the screws from the 6 side panel holders on the side
mounting rails.
Seal the server enclosure
In order to ensure the targeted air routing in the system, the server enclosure is
horizontally divided into warm air and cold air sections by sealing the 482.6 mm
(19") level.
Proceed as follows to seal the 482.6 mm (19") level:
• If the server enclosure is only partially configured, seal the open sections of
the 482.6 mm (19") level using blanking plates. Screw these tightly into the
server rack from the front side.
• Fasten the broader (Model No. SK 3301.370/3301.320) of the two foam strips
from the Liquid Cooling Package Plus accessories from outside onto one of
the front supports of the server rack (cf. Fig. 19). Make sure to install this strip
on the side of the server enclosure onto which the Liquid Cooling Package
Plus is to be bayed.
• Fasten the smaller (Model No. SK 3301.380/3301.390) of the two foam strips
from the Liquid Cooling Package Plus accessories from outside onto one of
the front supports of the server rack (cf. Fig. 19). Make sure to install this strip
on the side of the server enclosure which will again be sealed by a side panel.
Note:
It is only necessary to dismantle the side panels when the Liquid Cooling
package is to be bayed onto a previously erected server enclosure.
Otherwise, this work is not necessary.
Caution! Risk of injury!
The side panel holders have sharp-edged teeth, which allow for an eart-
hing of the server enclosure's side panel.
Note:
The blanking plates are available in various heights (U) from the Rittal ac-
cessory range.
