Installing Your Server in a Rack 39
10 After all connections are complete, plug the power cord into a power source.
For details on disconnecting cables from the server’s back panel, see “Disconnecting Cables
From the Server’s Back Panel” on page 51.
With the server in the rack and the cables in place, you can prepare to set up the Mac OS X
Server software.
Attach the Cable-Management Arm to the Support Brace
If the rear posts of your rack are more than an inch away from the server’s back panel, you
need to attach the cable-management arm to the support brace at the left side of the server
(not to the rear post). Otherwise the arm will not extend properly when you open the server
in the rack.
If the rear posts of your rack are flush with the server’s back panel or within an inch of it, see
“Attach the Cable-Management Arm to the Rack” on page 36 for mounting instructions.
Follow these steps to attach the arm to the left support brace.
1 At the front of the server, loosen the thumbscrews securing it to the rack and slide the server
a few inches forward.
Moving the server forward allows you to check the position of the cable-management arm
after you mount it.
2 Use a very small Phillips screwdriver to disconnect the small clamp that wraps around the
long end of the cable-management arm (next to the two oval holes).
You’ll use this clamp and screw to attach the arm to the brace.
3 Hold the cable-management arm with the long part closer to you and fold the hinged section
of the long part away from you.
The hinged section is the part from which you removed the clamp and screw. This section
should be perpendicular to the main part of the arm, with the oval holes farthest from you.
Warning
This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your server is
equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin.
This plug fits only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable
to insert the plug into the outlet because the outlet is not grounded, contact a licensed
electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the
purpose of the grounding plug!
Because you are installing the server in a rack with other equipment, be certain that the
power outlet and any other equipment, such as a power strip, used with the rack is
designed to carry the electrical load of multiple devices. Check the documentation for
your rack for any special instructions.
