Warnings!
● When installing 4U or bigger servers, at least 4 people are needed.
● During the installation process, please do not block the vents on the server, especially
the vents on the front and rear of the server.
● Please remove the protective film from the server surface before using.
● Please leave a minimum of 15cm clearance on the front and rear sides of the server
for proper ventilation.
● Please install air baffles in place prior to device installation, to make sure that the
server can get enough air flow, and to avoid air turbulence in the server room.
● Servers are high-power electrical appliances, and they should be installed into
dedicated cabinets with vents or professional water-cooled cabinets, to prevent
system failures caused by overheating.
● If it needs to install more than one device, please load them from the bottom to the
top, and load the heaviest items first.
● Please note the cabinet’s load-bearing capacity, power supply capacity and heat
dissipation capacity, be sure not to install devices beyond the cabinet’s threshold
capacity.
● For the convenience of using the front and rear ports of the server and cabling, leave
a minimum clearance of 70mm between the front end of the server and the inner side
of the cabinet’s front door, and 150mm between the rear end of the server and the
inner side of the cabinet’s rear door.
The cabinet, chassis or guide rails may cause serious
scratches, please be careful while handling.
When installing new servers into the cabinet in use, please be
aware of electric shock.
If the device is more than 15kg, at least 2 people are needed.
If the device is more than 30kg, at least 3 people are needed.
If the device is more than 50kg, at least 4 people are needed.
