3.7 Installing Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the Slide-Rail Assemblies

Use this procedure to install the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine chassis, with mounting brackets, into the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted to the rack.

Caution:

This procedure requires a minimum of two persons because of the weight of the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury.

Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will not become top-heavy and tip over. Extend your rack's anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

To install Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the slide-rail assemblies, complete the following steps:

1. Push the slide-rails into the slide-rail assemblies in the rack as far as possible.
2. Raise the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine so that the rear ends of the mounting brackets are aligned with the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted in the rack, as shown in Figure 3-7.
3. Insert the mounting brackets into the slide-rails, then push the server into the rack until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops (approximately 12 inches, or 30 cm).

   Caution:

   When inserting the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the slide-rail, ensure that both the top and bottom mounting lips of the mounting brackets are inserted into the slide-rail. The Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine should slide forward and backward easily if correctly installed. If the unit does not slide easily, ensure that each mounting lip is inserted properly. If the mounting brackets are not inserted properly, the unit may fall when removing it from the rack.

4. Simultaneously push and hold the green slide-rail release buttons (Figure 3-1) on each mounting bracket while you push the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine into the rack (Figure 3-8). Continue pushing until the slide-rail locks (on the front of the mounting brackets) engage the slide-rail assemblies. You will hear an audible click.

   Caution:

   Verify that the Oracle Exalytics In-Memory Machine is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide-rail locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before continuing.
