NSTALLATION

For your safety

When deciding on a location for your RM312 rackmount chassis, please take the following into consideration:

Electric Power: The power cord is what powers on/off your chassis, so try to place the chassis near a power outlet for convenience. Next, be aware of RM312's power rating to avoid overloading its circuits. Then make sure the connections are grounded properly.

Temperature: Whenever dealing with an enclosed environment, temperature must be a consideration. Inside the chassis, the temperature will most likely be higher than that of the room it is located in. To make certain that RM312 operates effectively and to prevent possible heat-related problems, be sure to have plenty of ventilation (i.e. additional cooling fans and extra space between devices).

Installing Hard Disk Drives (HDD)

?

?

?

1. Press latch towards the right to open the lever release and slide the HDD tray out of the chassis.

2. Mount the hard drive onto the tray with four screws from the HDD screw packet

(P/N: 70-000000-149).

3. Slide the HDD tray back into the case and press the lever back in to secure it.

4. Repeat the procedure for the remaining hard drives.

Installing an Internal HDD

( STANDARD ) ( OPTION )

?

?

?

?

1. Remove the securing screw to slide back and take out the bracket.

2. Attach the HDD to the bracket with four additional screws from the included HDD screw packet (P/N: 70-000000-149).

3. Slide the bracket forward, following the three guide pins, until it fits into place.

4. Reattach the original screw.


Installing a FDD

?

?

?

1. Remove the securing screw to move back and take out the bracket.

2. Remove the bracket's FDD cover screws.

3. Attach the FDD onto the bracket with four additional screws from the included

FDD screw packet (P/N: 70-331900-101).

4. Slide the bracket forward, following the three guide pins, until it fits into place.

5. Reattach the original securing screw.

Installing a Slim CD/DVD-ROM

?

?

?

1. Release the securing screw to slide back and take out the bracket.

2. Release the CD-ROM's cover screws.

3. Attach the slim CD/DVD-ROM onto the bracket with four additional screws from the included CD-ROM screw packet (P/N:70-331900-101).

4. Slide the bracket forward, following the two guide pins, until it fits into place

5. Reattach the securing screw.


Changing the 80mm System Fans

• Ž

•

1. Disconnect the fan connector from the backplane.

2. Push the press tab down, then ease the fan and its frame out of the fan bracket.

3. Pull the press tab up to release the fan from the frame.

4. Remove the four screws to take out the finger guard.

5. Replace the faulty fan with a new one.

6. Reassemble, then place back into the fan bracket and reconnect to the backplane.


Installing the Backplane (optional item)

RM312 supports the following three different backplanes: SCSI, IDE, and SATA.

SCSI Backplane Assembly

IDE Backplane Assembly SATA Backplane Assembly


?

?

?

?

1. With ten screws from the backplane screw packet (P/N: 70-331900-102), attach the backplane to the bracket in the chassis as shown in the diagram.

2. To support a second backplane, affix three hex copper spacer pins.

3. Next secure both ends of the backplane with two screws on both sides of the outer chassis.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for remaining backplane assemblies.

5. For the topmost assembly, use the three hex copper spacers without the pins to cap it off.

6. Connect the LED cable from backplane (JP1) to LED board. The lower one connects to the 1U LED connector (J1) on the LED board; the middle one to the

2U connector (J2); and the upper one to the 3U connector (J3).

7. Now connect the Big 4p power cable from the PSU to the power connectors (J7 and J8) on the SCSI backplane.

8. Connect the fan connector to the fan pin header of the upper backplane to finish the installation, and check to see the fan sensor is enabled.


Installing a Motherboard (optional part)

?

?

?

?

?

1. Use the included spacers for support from the motherboard screw packet (P/N:

70-331100-101).

2. Install the I/O gasket that came with your motherboard (M/B).

3. Next align the M/B with the chassis and I/O gasket.

4. The edge with the I/O ports should be placed at the back part of the chassis.

5. Secure M/B to the chassis with a screw.

Installing the Power Supply Unit (optional device)

?

?

1. Place the power supply unit (PSU) into in the area shown and secure it with four screws.

2. With another two screws, secure it to the other side of the chassis.


Installing the General Rack Rail Kit (optional part)

Sliding Rail Guide

(inside facing chassis)

Outer Fixed Rack Rail

Screws

Inner Fixed Chassis Rail

The optional rack rail kit consists of three main parts: a pair of inner fixed chassis rails, a pair of outer fixed rack rails, and a pair of sliding rail guides. Each pair is identical, so no special attention is necessary to make the parts match either the left or the right side. No parts must be removed from the chassis in order to install the rack rail kit.

1. As they are partially assembled when packaged, you must first disassemble the rails before installing them.

Remove the inner fixed chassis rail: Pull out until a "click" is heard, then depress the locking tab and pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rail assemblies.

2. Now position the same inner fixed chassis rail along the side of the RM312 chassis. Making sure the holes line up, screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side.

3. Next position the outer fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assembly at the desired location in the cabinet rack, making sure to keep the sliding rail guide facing the interior of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the included brackets. Repeat the procedure for the other side's assembly, making sure to match the exact same height and position of the rail guides facing inward.

4. Line up the rear of the inner fixed chassis rails with the front of the outer fixed rack rails, and slide the chassis towards the rear, keeping even pressure on both sides.

5. When the RM312 has been eased completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click" to finish the installation.


Installing the Bezel

?

?

?

1. First detach the handles by removing the two screws from each one. Keep handles in the event you may need them again in the future.

2. Next, install the bezel supports and tighten screws securely.

3. Then fit the right side of bezel to its corresponding support and snap into place.
