Additional Rack-mount Equipment
Additional equipment may be installed into the rack, provided the power requirements are within the
available limits of the installed AC distribution box.
CAUTION Refer to “Safety Precautions” and “Power Requirements” in Chapter 1 before installing additional
equipment.
WARNING If using non-Intergraph cables with the system, ensure that they are shielded and terminated on
both ends.
To install additional equipment into the rack:
1. Ensure that the installed AC distribution box can support the additional equipment.
2. Install the necessary mounting shelves or rails to support the equipment into available space. Use
tinnerman nuts for the shelves or rails.
3. Install the equipment, and place tinnerman nuts where the equipment will bolt into the rack.
Secure the equipment to the rack.
4. Connect the cables to the equipment and to the appropriate ports on the back of the base unit.
All cable ports on the base unit and other Intergraph equipment are keyed or molded to ensure proper
cable attachment. If a cable is not attaching easily, ensure that you are aligning the cable connector
correctly with the port.
Checking the Setup
Before starting the system, review the following items:
u
All hardware is properly and securely installed, and all RAID disk drives are installed in the
correct locations.
u
The cables are properly attached from the base unit to the InterRAID-8 cabinet, peripherals, and
extender.
u
The cables attached to the base unit are routed through the cable handler. Ensure there is enough
cable service loop to allow sliding devices to extend 31 inches.
u
The cables that run along the sides or top of the rack are installed in clips or ties to secure them in
place.
u
The power cord from the AC distribution box is attached to the correct wall outlet.
u
The base unit is retracted and secured to the rack with screws at each corner.
