The equipment location in the cabinet is unique for each site and is therefore not included in this document.

4.1   Installing the Dell Power Edge Server

This section describes how to install the Dell Servers in a rack. Install the server units one by one.

The configuration in this example has eight servers.

Do!

Always use an approved ESD wrist strap when working with sensitive equipment. Damage can occur to components mounted on printed board assemblies if an ESD wrist strap is not used.

Install the Dell servers by performing the steps below:

  1. Installing a server.

    a

    Locate the following required parts:


    • Two Dell Ready Rails static rails

    • Two chassis rail members

    • Two Velcro straps.

    b

    Installing Tool-less Static Rails (Four-Post):


    (1) Position the left and right rail end pieces labeled FRONT facing inward, and orient each end piece to seat in the round or square holes on the front side of the vertical rack flanges.


    (2) Align each end piece to seat the pegs in the bottom hole and the top hole of the first U.


    (3) Engage the back end of the rail until it fully seats on the vertical rack flange. Repeat these steps to position and seat the front-end piece on the vertical flange.


    (4) To remove the rails, pull on the latch release button on the end piece midpoint and unseat each rail.

    c

    Configuring Flush-Mount Static Rails (Two- or Four-Post):


    Note: The rails as they are shipped must be converted to tooled rails to install in a flush-mounted rack.


    (1) Lay both rails flat with both end pieces facing up. Remove the two screws on the front-end pieces and rotate each piece 180 degrees.


    (2) Reattach both end pieces with the two pairs of screws.

    d

    Installing Flush-Mount or Center-Mount Static Rails (Two-Post):


    Note: To configure the rails for a tooled flush-mount installation, see step c.


    (1) Attach the right and left mounting rails to the front mounting flanges with two pairs of screws.


    (2) Slide each flush-mount adjustable bracket forward against the two-post rack. Secure each side to the mounting flange with two pairs of screws.


    (3) For a center-mount installation, push the adjustable rear mounting brackets toward the back of the right and left mounting rails. Attach the fixed center mount brackets to the front mounting flanges with two pairs of screws. Slide both the adjustable rear-mounting brackets forward against the two-post rack. Secure each side to the mounting flange with two screws.

    e

    Configuring Four-Post Threaded Static Rails:


    Note: To configure the front-end pieces of your rails for a tooled installation, see step c.


    To configure the rear end pieces of your rails for a tooled installation, do the following:


    (1) Press the rail release button on each rail to disengage the rear segments.


    (2) Rotate the rear segments 180 degrees so that the tooled end piece is in the rear position.


    (3) With the end pieces positioned outward, align and rejoin the midsections and slide the rear segments into place until the release button engages.

    f

    Installing and Removing Four-Post Threaded Static Rails:


    Note: To configure the rails for a tooled installation, refer to step c and step e.


    (1) Attach the right and left mounting rails to the front mounting flanges with two pairs of screws.


    (2) Repeat the preceding step for the rear mounting flanges.

    g

    Installing Chassis Rail Members on the server:


    (1) Place the server system on a level surface and align the keyhole slots on the chassis rail members with the pins on the system.


    (2) Slide the chassis rail members toward the back of the system until they lock into place. To remove the chassis rail members, lift the lock spring until it clears the head of the pin. Slide the chassis rail member towards the front of the system until the pins slip through the keyhole slots.

    h

    Installing and Securing the Server System in the Rack:


    (1) Insert the ends of the chassis rail members into the front of the static rails and push the system into the rack.


    (2) For tool-less four-post racks and center-mount two-post configurations, the slam latches engage automatically as the system is pushed into the rack.


    (3) To secure the system for shipment in the rack or for other unstable environments, locate and tighten the hard-mount screw under each latch.

  2. Installing or removing the front bezel

    a

6   Installing Cables

This section describes how to connect cables. Mark the cables according to the local requirements.

6.1   Connecting Control Cables

Two or three switches are used for the control network. If two switches are used, the iDRAC network is divided between the two control switches. When three switches are used, the iDRAC network is handled by the third switch. In this document, connections using two switches are described.

Connect cables for control network between the units according to the following information.

6.1.1   Control Switch to Dell PowerEdge Servers Cables

The connection of cables for the control network depends on the number of ports available in the X440 control switch. In this example, an X440-24t unit was used. An option is to use the X440-48t with the same configuration settings. The connections for both variants are identical and are described in the tables below.

For other configurations, ensure that the following ports are allocated in the control network switches:

The connector orientation is shown on fig-connector-orientation Figure 6, and the control cabling for a configuration consisting of eight Dell PowerEdge servers is described in Table 5.

Danger!

Improper electrical installation can cause fire or electric shock that is likely to be fatal. Only a qualified and authorized electrician is permitted to install or modify electrical installations.

7   Powering On

This section describes how to power on the system.

  1. Make sure all units and fuses on the Power Distribution Units (PDU) are switched off.
  2. Switch on the AC power outside the cabinet.
  3. Switch on the fuses for the traffic switches on the PDU and switch on the AC power switch of each traffic switch.
  4. Switch on the fuses for the servers and switch on the AC power switch of each server.
  5. Check that the indicators are on for all units in the cabinet. Refer to the instructions supplied with each unit for information about the interpretation of the indicators.
  6. Report any findings to the implementation project.

8   Post Installation Activities

8.1   Concluding Routines

Before leaving the site, perform the following procedure:

  1. Clean the site and remove objects such as wrapping paper and cable clippings.
  2. Dispose of any waste in accordance with local regulations.
  3. Fill in the verification checklist in the Site Installation Documentation.
  4. Report any faults according to local requirements.
  5. Lock the cabinets, if applicable.
  6. Hand over the Site Installation Documentation to the person responsible for the site.
  7. Lock all doors and gates to the site.
  8. Report to the implementation project that the hardware installation is complete and that the system is ready for the installation of the software.

Ericsson strongly recommends to pay attention to the environment when cleaning the site after installation.
