Access Gateway Rack Mounting Kit

The Access Gateway Rack Mounting Kit is used to install the Access Gateway in a four-post or two-post rack. This chapter describes installing the Access Gateway in a rack. The rack-mounting kit includes two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets, and the mounting screws that you need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Read this chapter in its entirety before you begin the installation.

Separating the Rail Sections


Each of the rail assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the Access Gateway (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B), as illustrated below. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail. The rails must be separated to begin the installation.

Separating the rails and the mounting holes in the Access Gateway

24

Getting Started with Citrix Access Gateway To separate rails A and B

1.

Pull the fixed chassis rail (A) out as far as possible you will hear a click as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

2.

Connecting the Chassis Rails to the Access Gateway


Both chassis rails have a locking tab that serve two functions. The first function is to lock the Access Gateway into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. The second function is to lock the server in place when the rail is fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
To connect the chassis rails to the Access Gateway

1.

Position the fixed chassis rail sections (A) that you just removed along the side of the server, making sure the five screw holes align. Note that the right and left rails are specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis, as illustrated below. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. If you are installing the server in a two-post rack, also attach the rail brackets.

Connecting the Rack Rails to the Rack


Determine where you want to place the Access Gateway in the rack. Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies (B) at the desired location in the rack Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the same height and the rail guides are facing inward.

Installing the Access Gateway in a Four-Post Rack


You now have the rails attached to both the Access Gateway and the rack unit. The next step is to install the Access Gateway in the rack.
To install the Access Gateway in a four-post rack

1. 2.

Line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping pressure even on both sides. You may have to depress the locking tabs while inserting the Access Gateway. Refer to the illustration below. When the Access Gateway is pushed completely into the rack, you will hear the locking tabs click.

BIOS Self-Test Messages


During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS checks for errors. If the BIOS detects an error that requires correction, the BIOS activates an alarm or displays a message, as follows: POST beep codes A single long beep followed by two short beeps indicates that a video error occurred and that the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information A single long beep that sounds repeatedly indicates that a Rambus error occurred

Error messages If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by the following: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP. One or more of the following messages may appear if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.

CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED. The CMOS battery is no longer functional. Replace the battery. CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR. The CMOS checksum is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS is corrupted. This error might be the result of a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER. No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does not contain the proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into drive A and press Enter. If you expected the system to restart from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also make sure the disk is formatted as a boot device. Then restart the system. DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP. The type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY. The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates that the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT. Since last turning off the system, the display adapter was changed. You must configure the system for the new display type. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE. The hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER. Cannot initialize the controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT. Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during start up. If you are intentionally configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This causes the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue to start.
