4.3Installing the system unit in the rack

VCAUTION!

For safety reasons, at least three people are needed to install the system unit in the rack because of its weight and size.

Please observe the safety information and notes on rack installation in the chapter "Important notes" as of page 36.

The rack can tip over if more than one unit is pulled out.

Rack requirements

The rack systems from Fujitsu PRIMECENTER Rack, DataCenter Rack and 19-inch standard rack (for the Japanese market) support the installation of PRIMERGY servers. Installation in most current rack systems from other manufacturers (3rd party racks) is also supported.

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

The mains connection is implemented via external distributors, a suitable power distribution unit or a UPS device.

PRIMECENTER/DataCenter Rack

The individual rack systems from Fujitsu Technology Solutions have the following features:

Rails that are screwed on at the front.

The length of the rails can be adjusted to allow different rack depths.

Enhanced cable management in the lateral rack area.

IFor PRIMECENTER Racks and DataCenter Racks:

The mounting of the rails in the different racks is described in the next sections. Installation of the cable management is described in detail in the Technical Manual for the respective rack.

IFor 19-inch standard rack (for the Japanese market):

For information on mounting of the rails in the 19-inch standard rack (for the Japanese market) please refer to the "Rack mount guide".
