In this video we will cover the easy to follow steps to install the FX chassis
and compute and storage nodes out of the box.
To begin, cut metal straps and lift the box upward.
Now that we are inside the shipping box,
remove all the contents of the accessory box and then set it aside.
Next remove the padding that is sitting above server.
Facing the front of server, pull server slightly forward.
At this point remove the tape on both sides.
and unscrew the holding plates with screwdriver.
Now, remove the server or storage nodes as well as blanks from front of server.
Then, with help from a colleague, remove chassis from packaging.
Before we install the chassis into the rack,
install rack sliding mounts into position on both sides.
Click on outside brackets to allow the sliding rail to extend out.
On the outside of the extension rail, look for position 1,
and then click down to allow further extension on both sides.
With colleagues help, place chassis into the correct drop down slots and slide it in slowly.
Press in point 2, on the outside of the extended rails on both sides
to allow chassis to slide the rack rails back to position 1.
At this point, press point 1 and push the chassis all the way into rack.
Click the outside front mounts to lock into position.
Slide compute/storage nodes and blanksback into front of the chassis
and snap the clasp closed.
At the rear of chassis, install brackets on both sides for the strain relief bar.
And then install the bar into position.
With the bar in place, install power cords into the 1600 watt PSUs.
And finally plug in ethernet cables into the network ports.
