Installation

Installation and initialization of the system require attention to the normal mechanical, power, and thermal precautions for rack-mounted equipment.

Warning

The rack mounting holes conform to the EIA-310 standard for 19-inch racks. Take precautions to guarantee proper ventilation in order to maintain good airflow at ambient temperature.

Warning

Unless otherwise specified, NVIDIA products are designed to work in an environmentally controlled data center with low levels of gaseous and dust (particulate) contamination.

The operation environment should meet severity level G1 as per ISA 71.04 for gaseous contamination and ISO 14644-1 class 8 for cleanliness level.

The installation procedure for the system involves the following phases:

Prior to the installation, please review the Safety Warnings. Note that some warnings may not apply to all models.

Warning
  • The following information does not apply to SN2100/SN2010. In the SN2100/SN2010 systems, the fan units are non-replaceable.

  • The drawings are provided for illustration purposes only. The panel and modules design may vary depending on the system.

The systems are offered with two air flow patterns:

  • Power (rear) side inlet to connector side outlet - marked with blue power supplies/fans FRUs’ handles or blue dots that are placed on the power inlet side.

Important

All servers and systems in the same rack should be planned with the same airflow direction.

All FRU components need to have the same air flow direction. A mismatch in the air flow will affect the heat dissipation.

The table below provides an air flow color legend and respective OPN designation.

Direction

Description and OPN Designation
