caution icon Caution - Never attempt to run the server with the covers removed. Hazardous voltage present.




caution icon Caution - Equipment damage possible. Covers must be in place for proper airflow.



7.1 Install Top Cover

If you removed the top cover, perform the following procedure to replace it.

7.1.1 Install Top Cover

1. Place the top cover on the chassis (FIGURE 7-1 and FIGURE 7-2 [1]).

Set the cover down so that it hangs over the rear of the server by about 1 inch (25.4 mm).

If you removed the server chassis from the rack, perform these steps.



caution icon Caution - The servers are heavy. Two people might be required to carry the chassis and install it in the rack.


 

7.2.1 Reinstall Server in Rack

1. On the rack, ensure that the slide rails are extended.

2. Place the ends of the chassis mounting brackets into the slide rails (FIGURE 7-3).

3. Slide the server into the rack until the brackets lock into place.

The server is now in the extended maintenance position.

7.3 Returning the Server to the Normal Rack Position

If you extended the server to the maintenance position, use this procedure to return the server to the normal rack position.

2. While pushing on the release tabs, slowly push the server into the rack.

Ensure that the cables do not get in the way.

3. Reconnect the cables to the back of the server.

If the cable management arm (CMA) is in the way, disconnect the left CMA release and swing the CMA open.

4. Reconnect the CMA.

Swing the CMA closed and latch it to the left rack rail.


7.4 Powering On the Server

Before powering on your server for the first time, follow the installation and cabling instructions provided in the Sun Fire X4170, X4270, and X4275 Servers Installation Guide (820-5827), which is optionally shipped with the system and is also available online.

To connect power cords and apply power to the server:

1. Connect the power cord (or cords) to the power supply (or supplies) on the rear panel as shown in FIGURE 7-5 and FIGURE 7-6.
