Netra 150 Server Product Note

Installing a Netra 150 Server in a Generic (Non-Sun) Cabinet

It may be possible for you to install a Netra 150 server in a cabinet that you bought from a company other than Sun Microsystems as long as the cabinet is between 30" and 36" in depth. You can use the instructions given in the Model 150 Server Series Rack-Ready Installation Manual (802-6742-10) to install a Netra 150 server in a non-Sun cabinet as long as you keep the following things in mind:

  1. The Netra 150 server takes up six rack units in a cabinet.

  2. The instructions in the sections Powering Off the Expansion Cabinet and Internal Access (pages 2-1 through 2-5) apply to Sun cabinets only; refer to the manual that you received with your generic cabinet for instructions on powering off your cabinet and removing the outer panels.

  3. The instructions in steps 17 and 18 on page 2-11 apply to Sun cabinets only. When you get to this point in the instructions, substitute steps 17 and 18 with these steps:

  1. Measure the distance between the side rails on your rack.

    Figure 1-3 shows the distance measured between the two side rails on a Sun rack, which is 34 inches. Keep in mind that you want to measure from the outer part of the side rails.

  2. Slip the long bracket over the end of the short bracket/slide assembly, with the lip on the short bracket/slide assembly facing out (Figure 1-4).

  3. Measure the distance between the lip on the long bracket and the end of the short bracket/slide assembly and extend the two brackets until the distance between the ends of the two brackets equals the distance between the side rails on your rack.

  4. Flip the assembly over and extend the runner as out as far as possible, then use as many nuts and bolts as possible to loosely secure the long bracket to the short bracket/slide assembly.

    You should be able to use 2 to 5 nuts and bolts to loosely secure the brackets together, depending on the distance between the ends of the two brackets. Do not tighten the nuts and bolts at this time.

  1. The instructions in the sections Cabling the Model 150 Server, Restoring the Expansion Cabinet and Powering On the Expansion Cabinet (pages 2-16 through 2-22) apply to Sun cabinets only; refer to the manual that you received with your generic cabinet for instructions on cabling, replacing the outer panels and powering on your cabinet.
