50 Chapter 3 Installing Your Server in a Rack

2 Secure the server in the rack by tightening the thumbscrews on the front.

Important: Take care not to apply too much pressure on the thumbscrews if you use a

power screwdriver or drill. The torque applied to the thumbscrews should not exceed

6.0 inch-pounds, and the rotation speed should not exceed 200 rpm.

3 Remove the optical drive protector from its slot.

Be sure to store this protector in a safe place and always reinsert it before moving the

server to another location.

4 To further secure the server and prevent removal of the drive modules, use the

enclosure key (supplied with the server) to fasten the security lock on the front panel.

(See the illustration above.)

Once you’ve placed the server in the rack, you can connect the power cord and cables

directly to the back panel. See “Connect Cables Directly to the Server” on page 54 for

details. You cannot use the cable-management arm on an Xserve system that is

installed in a short rack.

To secure the drive

modules in the server,

use the enclosure key

to lock them in place.

Remove the plastic optical

drive protector. Save it and

reinstall it if you ever move

the server to another location.

Tighten the two

thumbscrews

to secure the

server in the rack.
