DRIVE BAY

There are two types of drive bays, that could mount, floppy drive, CD­ROM drive and hard disk drive. One type is fixed type and another is
removable type which has key-lock feature, refer to the following figures:

II. BARE-BONE KITS

BACK PLANE BOARD

The ASUS Back Plane Board, DA-BP4 series, were designed for carrying
four removable SCSI devices per Back Plane Board. Normally those re­movable SCSI drives are installed on the Hot-Swap Drive Bay with a small
slot card connected together (Fig 2-7). When the completed drive set plugs
in, the slot board of drive Bay and bus of DA-BP4 will be connected to­gether. After that, all the four SCSI-ID of SCSI devices could be managed
from the switches of Back Plane Board (Fig 2-6). Moreover there are two
models of Back Plane Boards available for none SAF-TE and SAF-TE which
are named DA-BP4-1 and DA-BP4-1S. SAF-TE one mounted one more
management chip named GEM200RE in which could provide additional
status information of device drives (Detail refer to chapter 3).

III. INTEGRATION

PROCEDURES

Along with previous product shipping kits, this section will introduce you on
how to integrate an AP5000 together, and some of the notices you need to be
aware of during installation. The step-by-step procedures have divided to five
topics which are System Unit Integration, CPU Card Installation, Cabling,

Device Drives, Installation, and Back Plane Board Installation.

SYSTEM UNIT

System assembly steps are as follows:

1. Open cover.

2. Remove fan frame.

3. Install the motherboard.

4. Install the CPU, memory, and add-on cards.

Opening the cover

Remove the four screws in the back of the system (Fig 3-1). Follow the
direction on the cover locker to release (Fig 3-2) and remove the cover of
housing (Fig 3-3).

Inserting the motherboard

Set the system down with on a level surface with the open side facing up.
Remove the system fan frame module (Fig 3-4). Put the motherboard sup­port (spacer) in order to balance the power of plugging add-on and CPU
cards (Fig 3-5), then place the motherboard into the housing (Fig 3-6). Next,
screw the motherboard into the housing (Fig 3-7). Please do not over tighten
as this may damage the surface of the motherboard.

DRIVE SETUP

T o install device drives on fix-type drive bay is quite straight forward, sim­ply by screwing the device, inserting it to housing and down at connecting
necessary cables. But for Hot-Swap drive bay, the cables connecting and
means of indicator light on drive bay are quite complex. This section shows
that the installation of slot card with drive bay, the specification of indica­tor light, device installation and the recommendation of drive position on
the housing.

20 ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide

III. Integration Procedures

Installing a slot card

To install a slot card with a Hot-Swap drive bay, there are two types of
cabling methods as shown below; One is for SAF-TE back plane boards
(Fig: 3-20), another is for none SAF-TE back plane boards (Fig: 3-21).

SAF-TE back plane boards

To install SAF-TE one, the five cables should connect to the slot card and
the connections on the other end should be; two cables for SCSI device and
the other three for drive bay, shown below:

KEY SLED PLED ALED_IN SCSI_ID

Jumpers for Drive Bay

CAUTION

* PLED cable, 3-wire (Orange/Black/

Green), connects Green to position #1
of PLED jumper.

* SLED cable, 3-wir e (Green/Black/Red)

connects Red to position #1 of SLED
jumper.

* KEY cable, 2-wir e (Black/Red) connects

Black to position #1 of KEY jumper.

111

Jumpers for SCSI Drive

* SCSI_ID cable, 8-wire, connects be-

tween SCSI_ID jumper of slot card and
ID jumper of SCSI drive. Be sure their
SCSI ID matched

* ALED_IN cable, 2-wire, connects be-

tween ALED_IN of slot card and access
jumper of SCSI drive.

NON SAF-TE back plane boards

T o install a slot card for a non SAF-TE back plane board, three cables connect to slot
card shown below, one (SCSI_ID) for SCSI device and the other two (KEY and
PLED) for drive bay. And for the two unconnected cables; SLED and ALED_IN
cables, they should be connected together, so that the SCSI device access status will
present to Light-2 (STATUS LED) of drive bay directly without going through the
slot card, because there is no function for this two jumper on slot card if the Back
Plane Board is non SAF -TE.

KEY SLED PLED ALED_IN SCSI_ID

CAUTION

* PLED cable, 3-wire (Orange/Black/

Green), connects Green to position #1 of
PLED jumper.

* KEY cable, 2-wire (Black/Red) connects

Black to position #1 of KEY jumper .

Indicator lights

This section shows that the indicator light (Fig 3-22) specification of both
Back Plane Board SAF-TE (Table 3-1) and back plane board non SAF-TE
(Table 3-2). Also the Key lock is used to insure the power is entirely being
off while Key Lock is opened during the process of hot swap.

Installing SCSI devices

Next to previous section, the integrated drive bay shown on Fig: 3-23. Then
place the SCSI device on to drive bay and connect necessary cables from
both drive bay and slot card to SCSI device including SCSI cable, power
cable, access status cable and SCSI ID cable. Especially be sure the 8-pin
SCSI ID cable is connecting with correspondent SCSI ID on both SCSI
drive and slot card (Fig: 3-24). Finally screw in the SCSI drive with drive
bay (Fig: 3-25).

Fig 3-25: Screw in device on Drive Bay

Drive locations

The recommendation of drives location is that first top drive used for floppy ,
second for CD-ROM and the rest could be used for Hot-Swap drive bays
(Fig: 3-26). All the devices either carried on Hot-Swap drive bay or Fixed­Type driver bay, should be inserted to housing from the front of housing.

24 ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide

III. Integration Procedures

There are types of front covers for floppy , CD-ROM drive, HDD or nothing
installed (refer to Fig-27). Finally after drives are being installed, please
close or lock the front door of the AP5000 to protect them.

Hot-Swap drive bay does not
require a cover.

Fig 3-26: Drive setup

Fig 3-27: 3 types of drive covers

To remove a drive cover, first release the two retainers on each side of the
cover by pressing them in and then out toward the front with a screwdriver
(Fig 3-28). Carefully remove the drive cover from the front using a screw­driver (Fig 3-29).

BACK PLANE BOARD INSTALLATION

To install Back Plane Board, first we have to integrate DA-BP4-1(S) with
its box, then install on to housing. This section will show you these. Also
enclose the specification sets of jumper and switches.

Integrating the DA-BP4-1(S)

The ASUS DA-BP4-1(S) contains one SCSI connector that will connect to
on-board SCSI port of AP5000, and its back has four PCI slots connecting
to slot card of drive bay to support 4 SCSI drives. There is a box come with
the Back Plane Board for mounting it onto the housing. Below will show
the DA-BP4-1(S) with the box.

26 ASUS AP5000 Installation Guide

III. Integration Procedures

Integrating with the housing

The housing could carry two Back Plane Boards to support eight SCSI
drives in total, and the first Back Plane Board has to be placed on lower
position of housing (Fig 3-33) and its two notches should connect to the
openings housing with no space in between (Fig 3-34), so that it could en­large the force while inserting the drive bay. The second Back Plane Board
also has to use similar method mentioned above for the connection. Next,
fix them by screwing in the back and front of hosing as shown in Fig 3-35.
Finally connect SCSI cables and power cables to the Back Plane Boards,
and fix the SCSI cable on the cable clamps to prevent the conflict of re-

moval or installation of Fan Frame (Fig 3-36)

Connecting the SCSI cables

If you are installing one back plane board into the system, connect the SCSI
cable connector to the on-board SCSI connector directly.

If you are installing two back plane boards into the system, insert another
SCSI card and connect the two SCSI cables to it.
