Before you begin Before you begin to install the server in the rack, review the safety and handling guidelines specified under "Safety information" on page 230. To ensure rack stability, plan the installation of servers in the rack starting from the bottom. If you are installing different server models in the rack enclosure, install the heaviest models in the lower part of the rack enclosure. For more information, refer to the IBM Netfinity Rack Configurator program provided with the ServerGuide CDs. Refer to "ServerGuide and Netfinity Manager Information" section of this Server Library. Review the documentation that comes with the rack enclosure for safety or cabling considerations. Ensure that the planned installation is within the rack's guidelines for heat generation, electrical requirements, air flow, and mechanical loading. Verify that the rack can meet the operating parameters, as detailed in "Specifications" on page 55. Turn off the server, if it is on. Preparing the rack enclosure: To attach the mounting hardware to the rack enclosure: 1. Mark the positions of the slide brackets and the cable management arm on the mounting rails of the rack enclosure. a. Position the template on the front mounting rail, aligning the holes. b. Mark the holes for the slide bracket cage nuts, using the dots supplied with the template. Also mark the holes for the chassis bracket cage nuts. c. Move the template to the rear mounting rails. Mark the locations for the slide bracket cage nuts and the cable-management-arm mounting bracket. Note You must align the slide brackets correctly or the installation cannot be completed. 2. Install the cage nuts or clip nuts, as required for the rack enclosure, in the marked positions. 154 Netfinity Server HMM
