CHAPTER 2 INST ALLATION
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your Acnodes RMC7182 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 RMC7182 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 RMC7182 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 RMC7182. 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 box the RMC7182 was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will 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. 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 7182
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 7182
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.).

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
T o inst all the Acnodes RMC7182 into a T elco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server , remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brack­ets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the server in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is prop­erly installed and all the connections have been made.
Removing the Chassis Cover (Figure 2-7)
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Remove the screws securing the top cover to the chssis.
3. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the cover off the chassis.
Checking the Components
1. Y ou may have a processor already installed into the serverboard. The proces- sor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

2. Y our server system may have come with system memory already inst alled. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory , refer to Chapter 5.
3. If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.
4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block- ing the chassis airflow . See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the chassis.
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial AT A drives and Serial A T A backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec- tions have been made.
Checking the Drives
1. For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.
2. If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airflow
1. Airflow is provided by four 4-cm counter-rot ating fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the compo- nents that generate the most heat.
2. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fans.
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 of- fers 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 .
Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function. See the t able in Figure 3-1 for descriptions of UID LED states.

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 ac- tion you may need to take.
Universal Information LED
When this LED blinks red quickly , it indicates a fan failure and when blinking red slowly a power failure. This LED will be blue when used for UID (Unit Identifier). When on continuously it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally . Y ou should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally , verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter
5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists. See the table below for descriptions of the LED states.

CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY
4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Acnodes RMC7182 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.
