2T-4100R AlphaServer 4100 RM Slide Shelf Assembly

This document is an installation guide for the 2T-4100R AlphaServer 4100 RM slide shelf assembly, intended for installation in 48.26-cm (19-inch) English RETMA cabinets. It is aimed at Digital Customer Services representatives and customer maintenance personnel familiar with computer hardware.

The guide details the necessary information and step-by-step procedures for installing the slide shelf assembly, which enables the AlphaServer 4100 RM system to be fully extended from the cabinet for easy service access. The assembly comprises a slide-mounted shelf, a cabinet cable management bracket, an interlock actuator, a stabilizer bracket, and an actuator latch.

Key installation topics covered include:

• Site Preparation: Ensuring sufficient clearance (91.44 cm / 36.0 in.) at the front and rear of the cabinet for ventilation and servicing.
• Unpacking the Shipment: Verifying contents against the packing list.
• Installing the Slide Tray: This involves determining the correct installation area (35.6 cm or 14.0 in. of vertical space), attaching the slide assemblies to the cabinet rails, mounting the slide tray onto the slides, and securing the AlphaServer 4100 chassis onto the slide tray. A warning emphasizes the 45.5 kg (100.0 lb) weight of the chassis and the need for cabinet stability.
• Attaching Catch and Latch Brackets: Including instructions for installing an optional front bezel for specific configurations.
• Installing the Cabinet Cable Management Bracket and Cable Clamps.
• Installing the Interlock Actuator, Stabilizer Bracket, and Actuator Latch: This system helps prevent cabinet instability by ensuring only one rackmounted system can be pulled out at a time.
• Connecting and Routing Power Cords: Recommending longer power cords (4.5 m / 14.8 ft) shipped with the assembly to accommodate full tray extension, and proper slack management.
• Installing the Optional Air Plenum: Used to redirect cool air intake to the rear louvered door, preventing recirculation of exhaust air in cabinets containing multiple systems.
