Static Electricity Precautions
Caution! Prevent Static-Electricity Damage
Static Electricity Preventions
1.
WEAR A GROUNDING WRIST STRAP (a vailab le at most electronic stores).
2.
T urn off the system power.
3.
Touch the back of the power supply fan, located on the back of the case.
4.
UNPLUG ALL CORDS FR O M WALL OUTLET.
5.
Remove the system case cover .
Static Electricity Precautions
♦
A v oid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and styrofoam in your work area.
♦
Remove the parts from their antistatic bags only when you are ready to use them. Do not la y
parts on the outside of antistatic bags since only the inside provides antistatic protection.
♦
Alwa ys hold cards by their ed ges and their metal mounting bracket. Avoid touching
components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect to expansion slots.
♦
Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.
Opening the System
Depending on your purpose, you may need to open onl y the front portion of
the system, or you ma y need to remo v e the top co v er entirel y. Follo w the
instructions specific to the task you want to accomplish as indicated in each

Installing the Pr ocessor Drawer
1.
This processor dra w er is a 4U system, meaning that i t requires 7
vertical inches (1.75” x 4) of rack s pace for installat ion. Check the
rack configuration to make sure you ha ve at least this much space. You
may ha ve to remo v e blank p anels or rearrange existing dra w ers to
provide enough clearan ce.
2.
Protect the system from extreme temper ature and humidity. Position
the rack a wa y from direct sunl ight, heater ducts, and other hea tgenerating objects.
3.
Keep your sys tem a wa y fr om equipment that generates magnet ic
fields. Even a telephone placed too close to the system ma y cause
interference.
4.
If the new system dra w er is configured for A C operation, protect it
against A C line spikes b y using a 3-prong, 115-V or 230-V
(depending on the voltage supplied in yo ur locality), an d an AC surge
control outlet station. The sys tem ma y require tw o separa te A C outlets
(one per pow er suppl y).
Inspecting th e Contents
Unpack the carton and inspect the contents. Standar d systems include th e
following items:
•

any damage from shipping, contact Technical Support immediately
.
Important!
Keep the product carton
and foam packing, in case
you have to ship t he
system.
If you return the system in
different packaging, your
warranty may be voided.
Installing the Processor Drawer 7
Installing the Processor Drawer in the Rac k
Rails must be installed on the proce ssor dra w er and in the cabi net before
you can install the pr ocessor dra w er .
Installing the Mounting Rails
Note:
Drawer heights are
measured in “U’s.” Each U
is 1.75 inches, measured
vertically on the rack. Your
processor drawer is a 4U
drawer , and is 7 inches
high.
Install the mounting rails on t he processor dra w er.
Installing the Mounting Rails
After unpacking the processor dra w er , re mo ve the side rails from the

T o secure the r ear of the rai l, slide the inner rai ls forwar d to gain
access to the mounting holes. The latch may lock the rail into pl ace.
Release the latch to al lo w the rails to slide freel y. T o secure the front of
the rail, slide the inner ra il so that the opening a ligns with the
mounting holes. Verify that the inner rails slide free ly.
Mounting the Processor Drawer in the Cabinet
After you install t he rails on both the cabi net and the processor dr a wer ,
insert the draw er into t he cabinet.
Mounting the Processor Drawer in the Cabinet
Pull the inner cabinet mounting rails ( in the cabinet) all the wa y
1.
forward until the retaining latches l ock the rails in the “ out” position.
Lift the processor dra w er to the same height as the mounting rai ls and
2.
align the rails on the dra w er wit h the cabinet mounting rails. See
Figure 7.
Note:
The processor drawer is
heavy . To prevent injury and
possible damage to the
equipment, we
recommended that you
have assistance when
trying to mount the drawer
into the cabinet.

to daisy chain them to gether (for the InforManager), connect the ne w
system draw er to t he existi ng dra wer with a RackBus cab le.
Connect the keyboard, mouse and video cables to their respecti ve
5.
ports. Systems with multiple processor dra w ers ma y require
connecting these cabl es to an autosw itcher unit. Refer t o your r ack
system user’s guide or Figure10 on page 15 for proper connections.
Connect the monitor po w er cable to an appropriate po w er sour ce.

pow er source s.
Using an AutoSwitcher with Multiple System Drawers
Multiple system dra w ers instal led in the same system cabine t can share a
single set of peripheral de vices (monitor , k eyboar d and mouse). This is
accomplished by using an Auto Switcher .
The AutoSwitcher pro vides ex clusiv e control of the monitor , as w ell as
routes the keyboard a nd mouse inputs to the cu rrently selected syst em
draw er .
14 Gateway ALR 8200R User’s Guide
Since the devices t hemselves (that is, the ke yboard, the mouse and the
monitor) are plugged into the AutoSwitcher , connecting the system dra w ers
to an AutoSwitcher requires e xtender cabl es. Refer to F igure 10 for
example connection details .

Warning!
For safety reasons, the top

Material Authorization
(RMA) number.
P owering Up the System
Press the On/Off switch on the front panel, and the green LED on the front
panel will illuminate ON.
If you turn off th e system, you must w ait at l east ten seconds before you
turn the system back on.
The system self-checks the memory even i f the monitor is not connec ted. If
the monitor is connected and po w ered ON, the scre en displays the pow er -up
sequence.
•
If more than one processor is inst alled , th e system displa ys whic h
processor it is currently testing .
•
If any errors are encountered, your system displays t hem on the
monitor.
•
If a monitor is not connected or th e system is unab le to displa y an
error, an error beep code sounds.
•
If the system encounters an error , it is usual ly nonfatal, meaning
the system functions until the error can be corrected (usuall y
through the BIOS Setup). In the rare case of a fatal error, cont act
your Technical Support for field service support.
Quick Check
If your system does not oper ate correctly, re-read the instructions for the
procedure(s) you ha v e performed. If an error occurs within an application,
consult the documentation supplied with the software.
This section identifies solutions to common problems. If the suggestions i n
this section are not helpful , try calling Technical Support. In the event of a
problem, the follo wing c hecks should be performed:
Looking Things Over
Sometimes, the simplest things can cause troub le. If y ou encounter a
problem, perform the follo win g checks:
16 Gateway ALR 8200R User’s Guide
•
Are the pow er c ords connected to the proc essor dra w er and an
appropriate po w er source?
•
Is the pow er source suppl ying po w er?
•
If a pow er stri p is used, is it switched on? Is the circuit break er set?
•
Does the voltage select ion switch on t he system’s po w er suppl y
reflect the proper v oltage?
V erifying Your Configuration
If your system is not ope rating correctly, the BIOS may contain an invalid
configuration parameter. Enter the BIOS pro gram and check your
configuration settings.
Troubleshooting Guidelines
As you troubleshoot t he system, keep the fol lo wing guidelines in mind:
•
Never remo v e the system co v er while the s ystem is po w ered on.
•
Do not attempt to open the monitor , it is e xtremel y dangerous.
Even if the monitor po wer is disconnected , stored ener gy within the
monitor components can cause a painful or harmful shock.
•
If a peripheral such as the k eyboard, mouse, drive, or printer does
not appear to w ork, ensure that all con nections are secur e.
•
If an error message is display ed on the screen, writ e it do wn, w ord-
for-w ord. You may be asked about it when calli ng Technical
Support.
•
Only qualified personnel should open the system for maintenanc e.
•
If you are qualified to maintain the system your self, make certain
you are properl y grounded before opening the syst em chassis.

Installing a Cable Retractor
A cable retractor pr o vides the follo wing advantages:
•
Reduced strain on the dra w er cab les and connectors
•
Simplified maintenance because the cables are kept nea tly out of
