1-2 Motherboard Features

At the heart of the Acnodes RMC5015 lies the embedded board, a single processor, low-power motherboard based upon Intel's 945GC chipset. Below are the main features of the embedded board.

Processor

The X7SLA-H supports one Intel® Atom™ 330 Dual-core 1.6 GHz processor while the X7SLA-L supports one Intel® Atom™ 230 Single-core 1.6 GHz processor. The processors are embedded into the motherboard.

Memory

The embedded board has two 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 2 GB of non-ECC DDR2533/400 SDRAM.

Onboard SATA

A SATA controller is built in to the ICH7R portion of the chipset to provide support for a four port, 3 Gb/ sec Serial ATA subsystem.

PCI Expansion Slots

The embedded board has one PCI-Express x8 slot, one PCI-Express x4 (in a x8 slot) and one 32-bit PCI slot.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

An onboard IDE controller supports two IDE devices. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, a VGA port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a Gb LAN port and two USB ports. In additiona, the embedded board features two Gb LAN ports and an extra internal COM port (header).

Other Features

Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and

BIOS rescue.

1U Rackmount System

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your Acnodes RMC5015 and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your RMC5015 system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the Acnodes RMC5015 was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the Acnodes RMC5015. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

o Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches).

o Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

o This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).

o This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

RMC 5015

1U Rackmount System

Rack Precautions

o Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

o In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. o In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

o Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

o You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

o Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

o Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

o Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.

o Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a

power failure.

o Allow the power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives to cool before touching them. o Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

1U Rackmount System

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the RMC5015 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Accessing the Inside of the System (Figure 2-5)

1.First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a

"click").

2.Remove the five screws that hold the chassis cover in place.There are two screws on each side of the chassis, and one screw on the back.

3.Once the screws have been removed, lift the cover upward to remove it from the chassis.

Checking the Components

4.Your RMC5015 server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all

DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

5.If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

6.Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the airflow. See Chapter

5for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the drives have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1.Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.

2.Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives ,please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter

Providing Power

1.The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power cord from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

2.Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis control panel.

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM INTERFACE

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset Button

The reset button reboots the system.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. If you need to service the system you should unplug the AC power cord after shutting down the server.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.
