Preparing a Rack Model



Preparing a Rack Model

Before you begin

Read the documentation that comes with the rack enclosure for additional safety and operating information.

The hard disk drives in Netfinity 5000 are hot-swappable.
If you are installing only a hard disk drive (bays 1 through 5), go directly to 'Internal Drives Installation or Removing'. Otherwise, continue with the following steps.
  1.  If you have a modem or fax machine attached to the server, disconnect the telephone line from the wall  outlet and the server.

    NOTE: If you are in the United Kingdom, you must perform this step before disconnecting the power cord.

      The Power-on switch on the front of the server does not turn off the electrical  current supplied to the server. The server also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current  from the server, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

  2.  Unplug all power cords (cables) from electrical outlets, and then disconnect all other cables from the  back of the server.
  3.  Remove the screws from the brackets on either side of the server, and set them aside.
     
  4.  Pull the rack model out of the rack enclosure until both slide rails lock.

    NOTE: When the server is in the locked position, you can easily reach the cables on the back of the server.

  5.  Remove the top cover.

    1.  Locate the captive thumbscrew -1- on the back of the cover and turn it to release the cover.
       
    2.  Slide the cover back about 25 mm (1 inch), then, lift the cover and remove it.
    3.  Set the cover aside in a safe place.
    4.  If you are installing or removing a drive in bays A to C, remove the front bezel.

       1) Locate the blue bezel release lever on the top of the server, in the right front corner.
       2) Move the lever toward the right, following the curve of the lever opening.

       
       3) Lift the bezel tabs out of the slots at the left and pull the bezel away from the server front.

    5.  If necessary, remove the server from the rack enclosure before installing options.
       For more information about removing the server from the rack enclosure, see 'Removing the Rack Model from a Rack Enclosure'.

  6.  Install (or remove) the desired options.
