Safety-related rackmount installation instructions Safety-related rackmount installation instructions When your Gateway server is installed in a closed or multi-unit rackmount cabinet, make sure that you consider the following items: I Ambient temperature The ambient temperature inside the rackmount cabinet may be greater than the ambient temperature in the room. Make sure that rackmount cabinet is ventilated so your Gateway server operates within its specified maximum operating temperature range. For information about the maximum operating temperature, see the "Environmental specifications" section of your user's guide. The user's guide is on the Server Companion CD (SCCD) that shipped with your server. I Stability Make sure that your Gateway server is stable in the rackmount cabinet and mounted according to the rackmount instructions in this installation guide. I Input supply Check the power rating label on the back of your server to make sure that the power supply circuits are adequate for the server power requirements. Overloading the power supply circuits may affect the over-current protection and supply wiring. I Grounding Make sure that your rackmount servers are grounded correctly. Pay particular attention to correctly grounding the power supply connections on power strips installed inside the rackmount cabinet. I Disconnect device The plug on the power cord is the power disconnect device for your rackmount server. For safety purposes, make sure that the power outlet is installed near the rackmount cabinet for easy access. www.gateway.com 3
