CHAPTER 2 INST ALLATION
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your Acnodes RMC7135 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 RMC7135 system has come to you with the pro- cessor 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
Y ou should inspect the box the Acnodes RMC7135 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 RMC7135. It should be situ­ated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. A void areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Y ou 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 Acnodes RMC7130 does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. 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)and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. 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 accord- ing to §2 of the the
German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

RMC 7135
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 st able before extending a component from the rack. o Y ou should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si- mult aneously 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 unit s and hot plug Serial A T A drives to cool before touching them. o Always keep the rack's front door and all p anels and components on the servers closed when not
servicing to maintain proper cooling.

RMC 7135
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating T emperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly , the ambient operating tempera- ture 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 tempera- ture (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 maint ained at all times. T o ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Par­ticular attention should be given to power supply connec- tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the Acnodes RMC7135 into a rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sec- tions 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly . The following is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. Y ou should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
Y ou may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 5016T -MTFB. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails are left/right specific.
Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes on the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach the rail to the chassis with M4 flat head screws. Repeat these steps to install the left rear inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack. Locking T abs: Both chassis rails have a locking t ab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly , these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

RMC 7135
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the server in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-
3). Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of 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 exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

RMC 7135
Installing the Server into the Rack
Y ou should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to inst all the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-2. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".

CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY
4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Acnodes RMC7135 from damage: o Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency
power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system. o Do not work alone when working with high voltage components. o Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in- stalling main system
components, such as the motherboard, memory modules and floppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the operat-
ing system first and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system. o When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off
controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary . o Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a
complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
o Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators. o The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded
electrical outlets.

o Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
o DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. T o prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon- ventional way .
o Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera- ture Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only . The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety: o Keep the area around the RMC7135 clean and free of clutter.
o The RMC7135 weighs approximately 30 lbs (13.6 kg). When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
o Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re- moved away from the sys­tem or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
o While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.
o Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body , which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

o After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
4-3 ESD Precautions
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other . An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this dif ference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
o Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. o Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use. o T ouch a grounded met al object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. o Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if
you are wearing a wrist strap. o Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or
contacts. o When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. o Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. o For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the
power supply , the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
