Installing the server in and removing the server from the rack enclosure This chapter provides instructions for installing the Netfinity 8500R server in the rack enclosure and removing the server from the rack enclosure. Notes 1. The illustrations in this chapter might differ slightly from your hardware. 2. The top cover is in place during normal operation. If the server is on, do not leave the top cover off for more than 30 minutes at a time. This chapter contains: The Netfinity 8500R server comes with all the rack installation hardware. Review the preinstallation information in "Before you begin to install optional hardware" on page 52; then, continue with "Installing the server in the rack enclosure" on page 97. Before you begin: Before you install the server in the rack enclosure, thoroughly review the information in this section. Ensure that the rack enclosure can accommodate the Netfinity 8500R server. To install the Netfinity 8500R in a rack enclosure, the enclosure must have a minimum clearance of 203.2 mm (8 in.) between the rear of the chassis and the surface of the rear door when the door is closed. Note To accommodate the Netfinity 8500R, a Rack Extension Option can be installed on the IBM rack enclosure. Review the safety and handling guidelines specified under "Safety information" on page 240.These guidelines will help you work safely while working with the server and options. Review the documentation that comes with the rack enclosure for safety or cabling considerations. Ensure that your planned installation is within the rack enclosure guidelines for heat generation, electrical requirements, air flow, and mechanical loading. Verify that the rack enclosure can meet the operating parameters, as detailed in "Specifications" on page 40. Plan the installation of servers in the rack enclosure starting from the bottom. This will ensure rack stability. For more information, refer to the IBM Netfinity Rack Configuration program that comes with the ServerGuide CDs. 96 Netfinity Server HMM
