Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety

Warnings

These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the compute module enclosure cover to access components inside the system. Only a technically qualified person should maintain or configure the system.

Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products/ components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.

System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from the system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet or the chassis. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.

Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this document only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your system when handling parts.

ESD and handling electronic devices: Always handle electronic devices carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Do not touch the connector contacts.

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.

Reinstalling enclosure cover: To protect internal components and for proper cooling and airflow, the compute module should not be inserted into the chassis with the cover removed; operating it without the enclosure cover in place can damage system parts.

Hard Disk Drive Bay Module

The Intel® Modular Server System has an integrated hard disk drive bay module with the following features:

Intel® Modular Server System User Guide 9

• Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS25 has an integrated hot-swap 2.5-inch SAS

hard disk drive bay module that can support up to a maximum of 14 hard disk drives.

• Intel

Modular Server System MFSYS35 has an integrated hot-swap 3.5-inch SAS/ SATA hard disk drive bay module that can support up to a maximum of 6 hard disk drives.

• Storage configuration and management are supported via the Intel

Modular Server

Control UI.

To access the installed physical drives, you must install at least one Intel

Storage Control

Module in the rear bay labeled SCM1.

Because hard disk drives have different cooling, power, and vibration characteristics, Intel validates specific hard disk drive types in the platforms. See the Intel System Tested Hardware and Operating System List for a list of qualified drives.

I/O Cooling Module

The I/O cooling module consists of six fans in a hot-swap module with power and status indicators. These fans provide cooling for all I/O modules. The I/O cooling module is accessible from the front of the system even though it cools the I/O modules in the rear of the system.

Figure 5. Rear View of Server System

Power Supply Module

Up to four hot-swap power supply modules can be installed in the right rear of the chassis. Each supply has its own AC input power connector and is rated at 1000 watts over an input range of 100-240 VAC. Each power supply includes two fans that provide cooling for hot-swap disk drives. All four power supply bays must be populated with either a power supply module or a power supply blank. The power supply blank has two fans that ensure proper system cooling.

Intel® Modular Server System User Guide 11

One power supply supports one compute module plus all other modules in the system.

Two power supplies support two to three compute modules (in any slot) plus all other modules in the system.

Three power supplies support four to six compute modules (in any slot) plus all other modules in the system.

Any additional power supplies above the minimum required (based on configuration) provide redundancy.

I/O Module Slots

The middle-rear of the chassis can accommodate up to four expansion modules.

Ethernet Switch Module

One or two hot-swap Intel switch has ten uplink ports and twelve internal server bay ports, two ports routed to each compute module. One switch module is the minimum configuration; a second switch module allows for network redundancy.

Storage Control Module

One or two hot-swap Intel SAS hard drives in the Intel SAS/SATA hard drives in the Intel control module is the minimum configuration; a second storage control module allows for storage control module redundancy. When two storage control modules are installed and one fails, drive access is maintained through the operational storage control module.

Gigabit Ethernet Switch Modules can be installed. Each

Storage Control Modules can be used for up to 14 hot-swap

Modular Server System MFSYS25 and up to 6 hot-swap

Modular Server System MFSYS35. One storage

Management Module

The Intel

Management Module 2 is installed in the middle-rear of the chassis, between the four I/O slots. This module provides an Internet browser interface that enables the configuration and management of the entire modular server system. This module is not redundant but the system will continue to operate normally if this module fails. However, any changes to the system configuration will not be recognized until the failed management module is replaced.

Main Cooling Modules

Two hot-swap main cooling modules are installed on the left rear of the chassis. Each module contains a redundant fan. Main cooling modules maintain separate zones in the chassis. Both modules are required to properly cool all compute modules.
