4.3Installing the System in the Rack

VCAUTION!

For safety reasons, at least two people are required to install the PRIMERGY BX600 S2 basic unit because of its weight and size.

Please observe the safety precautions and references to rack instal- lation in the chapter “Important Notes” on page 21.

The rack may tip over if more than one unit is removed at the same time.

Requirements of the Rack

The rack systems from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH (PRIMECENTER rack; DataCenter rack) fully support the installation of the PRIMERGY server systems. Installation in the common rack systems of other manufacturers (3rd- party rack) is supported to a large degree.

To accommodate the ventilation concept and ensure proper ventilation of the components in the rack, any unused areas must be closed using dummy covers.

The unit is connected to the power supply via an external distribution board or a UPS device.

The main features of the rack systems from Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH are:

PRIMECENTER/DataCenter Rack

Frontally bolted rails.

The rails have a linear alignment option to also allow adjustment to different rack depths.

Extended cable management within the lateral rack area.

The following applies to rack systems from third-party manufacturers:
