Warnings
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the blade server enclosure
cover to access components inside the system. Only a technically qualified person should
maintain or configure the blade 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 blade 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 blade system and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the blade 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 blade 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 blade server cannot be inserted into the SBCE unit with the blade enclosure
cover removed. Operating it without the enclosure cover in place can damage system
parts.

4 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide
What Your Blade Server Offers
The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management
and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies:
• Baseboard management controller (BMC)
The baseboard management controller (BMC) is on the system board of the blade
server. The BMC operates as the service processor for the blade server and performs
several tasks, including the following functions:
— Provides RS-485 interfaces to the management module
— Provides support for:
-- Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
-- The operating system
-- Power control and advanced power management
-- Reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS) features
-- Serial over LAN (SOL)
• Disk drive support
The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial
Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives.
• Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology
The blade server supports up to two dual-core/quad-core Intel® Xeon processor
microprocessors.
• Integrated network support
The blade server comes with two integrated Broadcom* BCM5708S Gigabit Ethernet
controllers, which support connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-Mbps
network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the SBCE unit. The
controller supports Wake on LAN
®
technology.
• I/O-expansion
The blade server has connectors on the system board for optional expansion cards for
adding more network communication capabilities to the blade server.
• Large system memory
The blade server system board supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory
controller provides support for up to four industry-standard fully-buffered double-data
rate (FB-DDR2), PC2-4200, ECC SDRAM registered x4 DIMMs installed in the
system board. The controller is able to support additional memory DIMMs installed in
an optional expansion unit. For the most current list of supported DIMMs, see the
®
Intel
Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Memory List Test Report Summary at http://
support.intel.com/support/.
Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 5
• Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose
problems. For more information, see the Intel
Hardware Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.
®
Server Compute Blade SBXD132
• PCI Express
PCI Express is a fully serial interface that can be used for universal connectivity for
use as a chip-to-chip interconnect, I/O interconnect for adapters, and an I/O
attachment point to Gigabit-networking devices. PCI Express bridges a PCI Express
bus to a PCIX bus and converts the transactions on the PCI bus to transactions on the
PCIX bus. Using the expansion card connector you can add additional LAN
interfaces. The expansion card connector supports PCI-X 133 and bridges PCI
Express into PCI-X 133.
• Power throttling
Each blade server is powered by two redundant power-supply modules. By enforcing
a power policy known as power domain oversubscription, the SBCE unit can share
the power load between two power modules to ensure efficient power for each device
in the SBCE unit. This policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the
SBCE unit or when a blade server is inserted into the SBCE unit. You can configure
and monitor the power environment by using the management module. For more
information about configuring and using power throttling, see the managementmodule documentation or http://support.intel.com/support/.
Reliability, Availability, and Serviceability Features
Three of the most important features in server design are reliability, availability, and
serviceability (RAS). These RAS features help to ensure the integrity of the data that is
stored in the blade server, the availability of the blade server when you need it, and the
ease with which you can diagnose and correct problems.
The blade server has the following RAS features:
• Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)
• Automatic error retry or recovery
• Built-in monitoring for temperature, voltage, hard disk drives, and flash drives
• x4 SDDC
• Customer support center 24 hours per day, 7 days a week
• Customer-upgradeable basic input/output system (BIOS) code and diagnostics

2 Power, Controls, Jumpers,
Switches, and Indicators
This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the blade server,
and what the controls and indicators mean. This chapter also identifies the system-board
connectors.
Turning on the Blade Server
After you connect the blade server to power through the SBCE unit, the blade server can
start in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power-control button on the front of the blade server (behind the
control panel door, see “Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs” on page 10) to
start the blade server.
Notes:
1. Wait until the power-on LED on the blade server flashes slowly before pressing the
power-control button. While the service processor in the management module is
initializing, the power-on LED does not flash, and the power-control button on the
blade server does not respond.
2. While the blade server is starting, the power-on LED on the front of the blade server
is lit. See “Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs” on page 10 for the power-on
LED states.
• If a power failure occurs, the SBCE unit and then the blade server can start
automatically when power is restored, if the blade server is configured through the
management module to do so.
• You can turn on the blade server remotely by using the management module.
• If the blade server is connected to power (the power-on LED is flashing slowly), the
operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature, and the Wake on LAN feature
has not been disabled through the management module, the Wake on LAN feature can
turn on the blade server. However, the blade server can only receive the Wake on LAN
command through the Ethernet ports that are integrated on the system board, not
through the Ethernet ports on an installed I/O expansion card.
Turning off the Blade Server
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the SBCE unit.
The blade server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote
request to turn on the blade server. To remove all power from the blade server, you must
remove it from the SBCE unit.
Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 9
Shut down the operating system before you turn off the blade server. See the operatingsystem documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.
The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power-control button on the blade server (behind the control panel
door, see “Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs” on page 10). This starts an
orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by the operating
system.

3 Installing Options
This chapter provides instructions for installing hardware options in the blade server.
Some option-removal instructions are provided in case you need to remove one option to
install another.
Installation Guidelines
Before you begin installing options in the blade server, read the following information:
• Read the safety information beginning on page vii and the guidelines in “Handling
Static-sensitive Devices” on page 16. This information will help you work safely with
the blade server and options.
• When you install your new blade server, take the opportunity to download and apply
the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to make sure that any known
issues are addressed and that your blade server is ready to function at maximum levels
of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, go to http://
support.intel.com/support/.
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers
and other parts in a safe place.
• Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
• Before you remove a blade server from the SBCE unit, you must shut down the
operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have to shut down the
SBCE unit itself.
• When you are finished working on the blade server, reinstall all safety shields, guards,
labels, and ground wires.
• For a list of supported options for the blade server, go to http://support.intel.com/
support/.
System Reliability Guidelines
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following
requirements are met:
• Each microprocessor socket always contains either a microprocessor heat-sink filler
or a microprocessor and heat sink. If the blade server has only one microprocessor, it
must be installed in microprocessor socket 1.
• You do not operate the SBCE unit without a blade server, expansion unit, or filler
blade installed in each blade bay to ensure proper cooling. See the documentation for
your SBCE unit for additional information.
• The blade server battery must be operational. If the battery becomes defective, replace
it immediately. For instructions, see the Intel
Hardware Maintenance and Troubleshooting Guide.

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 15
Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Warni n g : Static electricity can damage the blade server and other electronic devices. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are
ready to install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal
part of the SBCE unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack
component in the rack in which you are installing the device for at least 2 seconds.
This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
• Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the blade server
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on the blade server cover or on a
metal surface.
• Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Installing an Additional Microprocessor
The blade server comes with at lease one microprocessor. If the blade server comes with
one microprocessor, you can install a second microprocessor. If more than one
microprocessor is installed, the blade server can now operate as a symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application
programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors.
Notes:
1. You can not remove the single microprocessor and replace it with a different type of
microprocessor of greater or lesser speed.
2. If you install a second microprocessor, you must install the same microprocessor type
and speed as the first microprocessor.
To use SMP, obtain an SMP-capable operating system. For a list of supported operating
systems and other options, go to http://support.intel.com/support/.
24 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide
The following notes describe the type of microprocessor that the server supports and other
information that you must consider when installing a microprocessor:
• Always install microprocessors that have the same cache size and type, the same
clock speed, and identical internal and external clock frequencies (including system
bus speed).
• Make sure that the microprocessor with the lowest feature set is the startup (bootstrap)
microprocessor, which is installed in the microprocessor 1 socket (U66).
• For a list of microprocessors that the blade server supports, go to http://
support.intel.com/support/.
• Before installing a new microprocessor, download and install the most current level of
BIOS code, from http://support.intel.com/support/.
• The microprocessors terminate themselves; therefore, no terminator card is required if
microprocessor socket 2 is empty. However, for proper airflow, this socket must
contain a microprocessor heat-sink filler, sometimes called a microprocessor baffle.
• The microprocessor speeds are automatically set for this server; therefore, you do not
have to set any microprocessor frequency-selection jumpers or switches.

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 27
Installing an I/O-expansion Card
If I/O-expansion is supported by the SBCE unit in which the blade server is installed, you
can add an I/O-expansion card to the blade server. An I/O expansion card provides
additional connections for communicating on a network.
The blade server supports various types of I/O expansion cards. See http://
support.intel.com/support/ for a list of available I/O expansion cards and their form-factor
types.
Make sure that the SBCE unit and the I/O modules to which the I/O expansion card is
mapped support the network-interface type of the I/O expansion card. For example, if you
add an Ethernet expansion card to a blade server installed in a SBCE unit, the I/O-modules
in I/O-module bays 3 and 4 on the SBCE unit must both be compatible with the expansion
card. All other expansion cards that are installed on other blade servers in the SBCE unit
must also be compatible with these I/O-modules. In this example, you could then install
two Ethernet switch modules, two pass-thru modules, or one Ethernet switch module and
one pass-thru module. Because pass-thru modules are compatible with a variety of I/Oexpansion cards, installing two pass-thru modules would enable the use of several

appearance of your SBCE unit might be different, see the documentation for your SBCE
unit for additional information.
AF000944
To install a blade server in a SBCE unit, complete the following steps.
Caution: Hazardous energy is present when the blade server is connected to the power source.
Always replace the blade cover before installing the blade server.
Notes:
1. Read the safety information beginning on page vii and “Installation Guidelines” on
page 15 through “Handling Static-sensitive Devices” on page 16.
2. If you have not done so already, install any options that you want, such as SAS drives
or memory, in the blade server.
3. Select the bay for the blade server; at least one blade bay is required.
• When any blade server or option is in blade bays 7 through 14, power modules must
be present in all four power-module bays. For additional information, see the
Installation and User’s Guide that comes with the SBCE unit.
• To help ensure proper cooling, performance, and system reliability, make sure that
each blade bay on the front of the SBCE unit contains a blade server, expansion unit,
or blade filler. Do not operate a SBCE unit for more than 1 minute without a blade
server, expansion unit, or blade filler in each blade bay.
4. Make sure that the release handles on the blade server are in the open position
(perpendicular to the blade server).
5. Slide the blade server into the blade bay until it stops.
6. Push the release handles on the front of the blade server to the closed position.
7. Turn on the blade server (see “Turning on the Blade Server” on page 9 for

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 35
8. Make sure that the power-on LED on the blade server control panel is lit continuously,
indicating that the blade server is receiving power and is turned on.
9. If you have other blade servers to install, do so now.
If you reinstall a blade server that you removed, you must install it in the same blade bay
from which you removed it. Some blade server configuration information and update
options are established according to bay number. Reinstalling a blade server into a
different blade bay from the one from which it was removed could have unintended
consequences, and you might have to reconfigure the blade server.
If this is the initial installation for the blade server in the SBCE unit, you must configure
the blade server through the Configuration/Setup Utility program and install the blade
server operating system. See “Updating the Blade Server Configuration” on page 36 and
Chapter 7, “Installing the Operating System” for details.
Updating the Blade Server Configuration
When the blade server starts for the first time after you add or remove an internal option,
you might receive a message that the configuration has changed. The Configuration/Setup
Utility program automatically starts so that you can save the new configuration settings.
See “Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program” on page 57 for more information
about the Configuration/Setup Utility program.
Some options have device drivers that you must install. See the documentation that comes
with each option for information about installing device drivers.
The blade server comes with at least one microprocessor. If more than one microprocessor
is installed, the blade server can operate as a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) server.
You might have to upgrade the operating system to support SMP. See Chapter 7,
“Installing the Operating System” and your operating-system documentation for
additional information.
Input/output Connectors and Devices
The input/output connectors that are available to the blade server are supplied by the
SBCE unit. See the documentation that comes with the SBCE unit for information about
the input/output connectors.
The blade server has two selection buttons on the control panel: the media tray select
button and the keyboard/video/mouse select button. See “Understanding the Control Panel
and LEDs” on page 10 for information about these buttons and their functions.
The Ethernet controllers on the blade server communicate with the network through the
Ethernet-compatible I/O modules on the SBCE unit. Network signals to and from the
blade server or any expansion cards are automatically routed to a same-network-interface
I/O module through circuitry in the SBCE unit.

Module for the Intel® Server
Compute Blade SBXD132
The Intel® Blade Storage Expansion Module for the Intel® Server Compute Blade
SBXD132 is a redundant array of independent disks (RAID) storage device which can be
installed on a blade server that supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives (see
the Tested Hardware and Operating System List at http://support.intel.com/support/ to see
if your blade server supports this expansion unit). The expansion unit has an intelligent
RAID controller and cache memory that can support RAID level-0, level-1, and level-5
(depending on the model). It supports RAID configurations that use up to three hot-swap
SAS hard disk drives in the expansion unit and up to two hard disk drives that are installed
in the host blade server.
The expansion unit also supports up to two I/O-expansion cards (standard-form-factor,
and small-form-factor) to provide additional network connections and has a blade
expansion connector that allows another expansion unit to be installed.
Notes:
• The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Installation Guidelines
Before you install the expansion unit on a blade server, read the following information:
• Read the safety information that begins on page vii and the guidelines in “Handling
Static-sensitive Devices” on page 40. This information will help you work safely.
• Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed covers
and other parts in a safe place.
Intel® Blade Storage Expansion
Module for Intel® Server
Compute Blade SBXD132
Drive fillers

AF000935
Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 39
• Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
• Before you remove a blade server from the SBCE unit, you must shut down the
operating system and turn off the blade server. You do not have to shut down the
SBCE unit itself.
• Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component to
remove it from or install it in the blade server, or open or close a latch.
System Reliability Considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
• Each of the blade bays on the front of the SBCE unit contains either a blade server,
expansion unit or filler.
• A removed blade server or filler is replaced within 1 minute of removal.
• Each of the hard disk drive bays in the expansion unit contains either a hot-swap SAS
hard disk drive or a filler.
Handling Static-sensitive Devices
Note: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your blade server. To avoid damage,
keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to
install them.
To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following
precautions:
• Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.
• Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
• Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
• Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
• While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted metal
part of the SBCE unit or any unpainted metal surface on any other grounded rack
component in the rack in which you are installing the device for at least 2 seconds.
This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.
• Remove the device from its package and install it directly on the blade server without
setting the device down. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its
static-protective package. Do not place the device on your SBCE unit or on a metal
surface.
• Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

go to http://support.intel.com/support/ to download the latest firmware for the blade
server. Install the updates, using the instructions that are included with the downloaded
files.
Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide 61
Important: To avoid problems and to maintain proper system performance, always make sure that the
BIOS, service processor (BMC), and diagnostic firmware levels are consistent for all
blade servers within the SBCE unit.
Configuring the Gigabit Ethernet Controllers
Two Ethernet controllers are integrated on the blade server system board. Each controller
provides a 1000-Mbps full-duplex interface for connecting to one of the Ethernetcompatible I/O-modules in I/O-module bays 1 and 2, which enables simultaneous
transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). Each
Ethernet controller on the system board is routed to a different I/O-module in I/O-module
bay 1 or bay 2. The routing from an Ethernet controller to I/O-module bay will vary based
on blade server type and the operating system that is installed. See “Blade Server Ethernet
Controller Enumeration” on page 62 for information about how to determine the routing
from an Ethernet controller to an I/O-module bay for the blade server.
®
Note: Other types of blade servers, such as the Intel
installed in the same SBCE unit as the Intel
different Ethernet controller routing. See the documentation that comes with the other
blade servers for information.
You do not have to set any jumpers or configure the controllers for the blade server
operating system. However, you must install a device driver to enable the blade server
operating system to address the Ethernet controllers. For device drivers and information
about configuring the Ethernet controllers, see the Broadcom NetXtreme Gigabit Ethernet
Software CD that comes with the blade server. For updated information about configuring
the controllers, see http://support.intel.com/support/.
Server Compute Blade SBX82, that are
®
Server Compute Blade SBXD132 might have
The Ethernet controllers in your blade server support failover, which provides automatic
redundancy for the Ethernet controllers. Without failover, you can have only one Ethernet
controller from each server attached to each virtual LAN or subnet. With failover, you can
configure more than one Ethernet controller from each server to attach to the same virtual
LAN or subnet. Either one of the integrated Ethernet controllers can be configured as the
primary Ethernet controller. If you have configured the controllers for failover and the
primary link fails, the secondary controller takes over. When the primary link is restored,
the Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet controller. See the operatingsystem device-driver documentation for information about configuring for failover.
Important: To support failover on the blade server Ethernet controllers, the Ethernet switch modules
in the SBCE unit must have identical configurations.
Blade Server Ethernet Controller Enumeration
The enumeration of the Ethernet controllers in a blade server is operating-system
dependent. You can verify the Ethernet controller designations that a blade server uses
through the operating-system settings.
62 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD132 Installation and User’s Guide
The routing of an Ethernet controller to a particular I/O-module bay depends on the type
of blade server. You can verify which Ethernet controller is routed to which I/O-module
bay by using the following test:
1. Install only one Ethernet switch module or pass-thru module in I/O-module bay 1.
2. Make sure that the ports on the switch module or pass-thru module are enabled (click
I/O-module Tasks “Management” Advanced Management in the management
module Web-based user interface).
3. Enable only one of the Ethernet controllers on the blade server. Note the designation
that the blade server operating system has for the controller.
4. Ping an external computer on the network connected to the switch module or passthru module. If you can ping the external computer, the Ethernet controller that you
enabled is associated with the switch module or pass-thru module in I/O-module bay
1. The other Ethernet controller in the blade server is associated with the switch
module or pass-thru module in I/O-module bay 2.
If you have installed an I/O-expansion card in the blade server, communications from the
expansion card are routed to I/O-module bays 3 and 4. You can verify which controller on
the card is routed to which I/O-module bay by performing the same test and using a
controller on the expansion card and a compatible switch module or pass-thru module in I/
O-module bay 3 or 4.
Configuring a RAID Array
Configuring a SAS RAID array applies to a blade server in which two SAS hard disk
drives are installed.
Two SAS hard disk drives in the blade server can be used to implement and manage RAID
level-0 (striping) or RAID level-1 (mirror) arrays in operating systems that are listed on
http://support.intel.com/support/. For the blade server, you must configure the SAS RAID
using the LSI Configuration Utility program.
If an optional Intel® Blade Storage Expansion Module for the Intel
Blade SBXD132 is installed, you can use it to control all of the SAS hard disk drives
installed in the blade server. You enable this feature using the Configuration/Setup Utility
program (see Devices and I/O Ports on page 58 for information and instructions).
®
Using the LSI Logic Configuration Utility Program
You can use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to:
• Set the SAS device scan order

7 Installing the Operating System
Important:
1. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade
server to recognize and use the keyboard, mouse, and removable-media drives. The
®
Intel
Blade Server Chassis SBCE uses USB for internal communication with these
devices.
2. Some operating systems enable you to select the type of mouse that is being used. If
you are offered this choice, select USB instead of PS/2. Although the mouse might be a
PS/2-style device, communication with the mouse is through an internal USB bus in
the SBCE unit; therefore, the operating system in the blade server must recognize the
mouse as a USB device.

Vor s i c h t : Prüfen Sie zur Vermeidung von Stromschlag- oder Feuergefahr die mit dem Produkt zu
verwendenden Netzkabel wie folgt:
• Nehmen Sie keine Änderungen an einem Netzkabel vor, und benutzen sie es nicht,
wenn es nicht genau in die geerdeten Netzsteckdosen paßt.
• Netzkabel müssen die folgenden Anforderungen erfüllen:
• Die Nennbelastbarkeit des Netzkabels muß mindestens so hoch sein wie die am
Produkt angegebenen Nennstromaufnahme.
• Das Netzkabel muß einen zur Netzsteckdose passenden Schutzkontakt besitzen.
• Die Netzkabel sind die Hauptvorrichtung zum Trennen des Geräts vom Stromnetz.

Warnhinweise für den Systemzugang
Vorsicht: Um Verletzungen und Beschädigungen zu vermeiden, sollten Sie vor Arbeiten im
Produktinneren folgende Sicherheitsanweisungen beachten:
• Schalten Sie alle am Produkt angeschlossenen Peripheriegeräte aus.
• Schalten Sie das System mit dem Netzschalter aus.
• Trennen Sie das Gerät von der Stromquelle, indem Sie alle Netzkabel vom System bzw.
aus der Steckdose ziehen.
• Ziehen Sie alle Kabel und alle an das System angeschlossenen
Telekommunikationsleitungen ab.
• Bewahren Sie alle Schrauben und anderen Befestigungselemente gut auf, nachdem Sie
die Gehäuseabdeckung entfernt haben. Wenn Sie Ihre Arbeiten im Systeminneren
beendet haben, befestigen Sie die Gehäuseabdeckung mit den Originalschrauben bzw.
-befestigungselementen.
• Führen Sie keine Arbeiten im Netzteil aus. Das Netzteil enthält keine für den Benutzer
wartungsbedürftigen Teile. Schicken Sie das Gerät für Wartungsarbeiten an den
Hersteller zurück.
• Schalten Sie den Server aus, und ziehen Sie alle Netzkabel ab, bevor Sie Komponenten
ein- oder ausbauen, die nicht hot-plug-fähig sind.
• Wenn Sie ein hot-plug-fähiges Netzteil austauschen, ziehen Sie dessen Netzkabel ab,
bevor Sie es aus dem Server ausbauen.
Vorsicht: War Ihr Server in Betrieb, können die installierten Prozessoren und Kühlkörper heiß sein.
Sofern Sie keine Hot-Plug-Komponenten ein- oder ausbauen, warten Sie mit dem
Abnehmen der Abdeckungen, bis das System abgekühlt ist. Gehen Sie beim Aus- oder
Einbauen von Hot-Plug-Komponenten sorgfältig vor, um nicht mit heißen Komponenten
in Berührung zu kommen.
Vorsicht: Berühren Sie nicht die rotierenden Lüfterflügel, um Verletzungen zu vermeiden. Falls Ihr
System mit eine Lüfterabdeckung besitzt, darf es nicht ohne diese Abdeckung betrieben
werden.

Warnhinweise für Racks
Das Geräte-Rack muß auf einer geeigneten, festen Unterlage verankert werden, um ein
Umkippen zu vermeiden, wenn ein Server oder andere Geräte herausgezogen werden.
Bei der Installation des Racks müssen die Anweisungen des Rack-Herstellers beachtet
werden.
Gehen Sie bei der Installation von Geräten im Rack immer von unten nach oben vor, und
bauen Sie das schwerste Gerät an der untersten Position im Rack ein.
Ziehen Sie jeweils immer nur ein Gerät aus dem Rack heraus.
Sie müssen für die gesamte Rack-Einheit einen Netztrennschalter einrichten. Dieser
Netztrennschalter muß leicht zugänglich sein und über eine Kennzeichnung verfügen, die
besagt, daß er die Stromzufuhr zur gesamten Einheit steuert und nicht nur zu den Servern.
Zur Vermeidung von Stromschlaggefahr müssen das Rack selbst und alle darin
eingebauten Geräte ordnungsgemäß geerdet sein.
Elektrostatische Entladungen (ESD)
Vor s i c h t : Elektrostatische Entladungen können zur Beschädigung von Festplatten, Platinen und
anderen Komponenten führen. Daher sollten Sie alle Arbeiten an einer ESD-Workstation
ausführen. Steht ein solcher Arbeitsplatz nicht zur Verfügung, erzielen Sie einen gewissen
Schutz vor elektrostatischen Entladungen durch Tragen einer Antistatik-Manschette, die
Sie während der Arbeit zur Erdung an einem beliebigen unlackierten Metallteil des
Computergehäuses befestigen.
Gehen Sei bei der Handhabung von Platinen immer mit größter Vorsicht vor. Sie können
äußerst empfindlich gegenüber elektrostatischer Entladung sein. Halten Sie Platinen nur
an den Kanten fest. Legen Sie die Platinen nach dem Auspacken aus der Schutzhülle oder
nach dem Ausbau aus dem Server mit der Bauelementseite nach oben auf eine geerdete,
statisch entladene Unterlage.Verwenden Sie dazu, sofern verfügbar, eine leitfahige
Schaumstoffunterlage, aber niche die Schutzhülle der Platine. Ziehen Sie die Platine
nicht über eine Fläche.
