ALPHASERVER DS10L
SINGLE BRACKET
RACKMOUNT INSTALLATION

Unpack Rackmount Kit
The rackmount kit contains these instructions, two
brackets, U-clips and screws, two sets of threaded guide
pins (one set attached to the brackets and one spare set),
and two rackmount ears for securing the system in the
rack. (see Figure 1).

Such persons are expected to understand the hazards of
working within this equipment and take measures to
minimize danger to themselves or others.

Rackmount Guidelines
• If you are installing four DS10L systems, see the
AlphaServer DS10L Quad-Bracket Rackmount
Installation (EK-DS10L-QM).
• A maximum of eight DS10L systems may be
installed for each rackmount power distribution
unit.

Determine Base Zero
Decide the relative position of the system in the rack.
Base zero is where the bottom of the system will be when
installed in the rack.

Mark and Prepare the Rails
• Using the template on the back of this card (Figure
6), on both front rails and the rear interior rails,
mark base zero and hole 2 (see Figure 2).
• If you are installing more than one AlphaServer
DS10L in the rack at the same time: using the
template, mark the top of the first system you are
installing.
Use this as base zero for the second system, move
the template up aligning with base zero, mark hole
2 and the top of this system, until you have marked
holes for each system you are installing.
• Insert a U-clip at each rear interior hole you have
marked.

Base 0

If your system is the first system in the rack, then base
zero is between the first and second hole up from the floor
of the rackmount cabinet.
If you are adding your system to a rack already
populated, then base zero is the top of the system
underneath the DS10L you are installing. Each DS10L
system height requires 1U (1.75 inches).

Install the Brackets
There are two threaded guide pins on the brackets: one on
the front of each bracket (which fits into the third hole
above base zero), and one on each rear side (also the third
hole above base zero, and right above the U-clips just
installed).

Attach the Rackmount Ears
• Align the two vertical holes located on the front edge
of the system with the two holes on the rackmount
ears (see Figure 4).
•

If the holes in your rackmount cabinet require smaller
guide pins, a second set of smaller pins has been included
in the kit. Replace the pins if necessary.

Insert and Secure the System
• Using both hands, place the system onto the brackets
and push it back into the cabinet (see Figure 5).

Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the ears onto the
system, finger tight. Do not apply excessive force.

Insert the front guide pin into the third hole above
base zero. See Figure 3, ➊. Push the rail in.
Insert the rear guide pin into the rear interior rail in
the hole right above the U-clip, aligning the screw
hole to the U-clip you installed on the interior rear
rail. Push the rail in toward the side of the
rackmount cabinet (see ➋).
Secure with one screw on each rear interior rail, at
the U-clips. See ➌.

•

Figure 5 Inserting the System

•

Push the system back in to the rack. The brackets will
stop the system when the hinges contact the latch ➊.

•

Secure the system by tightening the captive screws
on the rackmount ears into the front rails ➋.

Caution: During removal, system box not tethered.
Attention: Pendant le déplacement, le boîtier système n'est pas fixé.
Precaución: Durante el traslado, no debe atarse la caja del sistema.
Achtung: Beim Entfernen ist das Systemgehäuse nicht gesichert.
PK1037-99

Check Power and Secure Cables
• Connect the power cord.
•

Route the power cord to the designated power
distribution unit. If installing more than one system,
cable power cords together as appropriate.

•

Continue cabling (see AlphaServer DS10L Quick
Setup poster, shipped with your system, and also on
your User CD-ROM). When all cabling is complete,
connect power cord to the power controller unit.
