Hot-swap Hard Drive Carrier
The hot-swap hard drive carrier accepts 15,000-RPM and slower Ultra320 SCSI technology SCA-type
hard drives. The peripheral bay supports Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI disk drives only. SingleEnded (SE) SCSI devices are not supported in the peripheral bay. SE drives are only supported on the
external SCSI connector. Hard drive carriers that accommodate 3.5-inch by 1.0-inch SCSI disk drives
are required as part of the hot-swap implementation. The disk drive is attached to the carrier with four
fasteners, and is retained in the chassis by a locking handle. Figure 6 shows a hard drive carrier that
has been removed from the peripheral bay. The drive is accessed by pressing the latch to release the
drive carrier door, then pulling out on the door.
The SCSI backplane board contains a dual-color LED for each hard drive. The LED can be seen at the
right edge of the carrier, as shown in the gure. The LED displays the drive status, as described in
Table 3.

!
CAUTION
The DVD/CD-ROM drive cannot be hot-swapped. In order to add, remove or replace a DVD/CD-ROM
drive, the system must be powered down, power sources unplugged and the top cover of the chassis
must be removed to access the DVD/CD-ROM drive area.
The slim-line DVD/CD-ROM drive is installed in a drive carrier that is inserted from the rear of the
peripheral bay. This device is not hot-swappable; you must switch off system power, remove all
power cords, open the chassis and then remove the peripheral bay to remove or install a CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drive.
The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive snaps into the carrier as shown below and is secured by four raised
points. The raised points line up with the mounting holes on the sides of the drive. Two of these
mounting points are spring loaded and two are stationary.

Power Supply Bay
The power supply bay, shown below, is located in the lower front of the system. Redundant power
status LED indicators are in the left portion of the power bay and three hot-swap power supply modules
dock into the three bays on the right.
Figure 8. Power Supply Bay
A. Power status LEDs
B. Power supply modules
The power subsystem can be congured as follows:
• Three power supply modules installed, (2+1) redundancy
• Two power supply modules installed, non-redundant
NOTE
The power supply modules must be populated from right to left. The left power supply module is
optional in a non-redundant conguration. If no module is installed in the left slot, a ller panel is
required for proper system cooling.
Two power supply modules are capable of handling the worst-case power requirements for a fully
congured server system. This includes two Intel® Itanium® 2 processors, 16 GB of memory, three
PCI add-in cards, two hard drives, and a DVD-ROM / CD-ROM drive.
When the system is congured with three power supply modules, the hot-swap feature allows you
to replace a failed power supply module while the system is running.
The power subsystem receives AC power through two power cords. When three power supply modules
and two power cords are installed, the system supports (1+1) power cord redundancy. This feature
allows the system to be powered by two separate AC sources. In this conguration, the system will
continue to function without interruption if one of the AC sources fails.
The AC power status LEDs in the power supply module provide information on the status of the
power sources. The LEDs are shown below, indicated by the letter “A” in the diagram. The possible
LED states are described below the diagram.

Cooling Subsystem
!
CAUTIONS
The chassis top cover must be installed and closed for proper system cooling.
Cooling components must be hot-swapped within a limited time period. This time period applies only
to the time that the cooling component is removed from the system, not from the time of failure.
The cooling subsystem consists of a hot-swap, redundant (5+1) system fan array installed in the
fan bay. The single bank of six Delta FFB0612EHE-S18Z hot-swap system fans provide the airow
necessary to cool the system components. These fans are installed in the fan bay that is located
within the power bay. The fans connect to the fan baseboard. The gure below shows the location
of the fans in the power bay.
Figure 13. Power Bay (removed from chassis)
A. AC power status LEDs (three)
B. Fan bay (six installed fans)
C. Power supply modules (three)
26 System Description
27MAXDATA PLATINUM 90002R Server System
The gure below shows the cooling subsystem layout with the airow direction indicated.
Figure 14. Cooling Subsystem Layout
The server system supports only a fully populated system fan conguration. However, the system
will continue to meet thermal specications with either a system fan or a power supply failure. The
power supply redundancy feature applies to systems with three power modules installed.
If a fan fails, system cooling is maintained and the system continues to operate while the failed fan
is being hot-swapped. All system fans have tachometer output, internal speed control, and external
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) speed control.
A failure is detected when the RPM of a fan falls below a predetermined minimum threshold (Approx.
5000 RPM). If a system fan falls below this threshold, all fans will be boosted to operate at a higher
speed (Approx. 8500 RPM)
The fans will also be boosted to the higher speed if a power supply fails for any reason (including loss
of AC power). The fans will not be boosted if the Redundant (ACR) power supply fails. If the redundant
power supply fails, the system fans will not be affected.
When boosted, all fans remain at high speed until the failed fan or power supply is replaced. When
a fan replacement is detected by a change in state of the fan presence signal. After a failed fan is
replaced, the fans return to the lower speed and fan failure monitoring at the lower speed levels is
reactivated.
When a power supply fails and is replaced, the replacement is detected by server management.
27MAXDATA PLATINUM 90002R Server System
NOTES
Do not attempt to operate this system with less than a fully populated, six system fan
conguration.
To maintain adequate cooling for system components, the swap process must be completed in
two-minutes. This period only applies to the time that the fan or power supply is removed from the
system, not from the time of failure.
A system fan failure is indicated by the corresponding fan LED and by the Cooling Fault LED on the
front panel. The system fan LEDs are shown in the gure below. The LED is amber and turns on if
a system fan failure occurs. These LEDs can be seen only when the top cover is removed from the
chassis.
Figure 15. System Fan Status LED
A. Fan LEDs (two of six pointed out)
Power Subsystem
Power Supply Modules
The power supply modules are Server System Infrastructure (SSI) compliant, universal AC input with
Power Factor Correction (PFC) Thin Power Supplies (TPS). The power supply modules are auto-sens
over the input range of 200-240 VAC and 100-127 VAC. They are rated at 350 W each. The combined
continuous output power for all outputs has been designed such that they will not exceed 650W.
The DC output specication for the power supply is met by two power supply modules operating
in the power bay. A third power module can be inserted to enable redundancy. When operated in
parallel, the power modules share the total load currents equally within the limits specied, and meet
all performance requirements. Two power supply modules are capable of handling the worst-case
power requirements for a fully congured system: Two processors, 16 GB of memory, three PCI-X
add-in cards, two hard drives and a DVD or CD drive.
In the unlikely event that a power module fails in a redundantly paralleled group, or upon the removal
of an operational or failed supply from a redundantly paralleled group, the action will not cause DC
output transients in excess of specied limits. Conversely, adding an operational or failed supply to a
paralleled group will not cause DC output transients in excess of the limits specied.
28 System Description 29MAXDATA PLATINUM 90002R Server System
Redundant AC Power Source Operation
The power bay has two AC inlets, labeled AC1 and AC2, located at the rear of the chassis. AC1 is
connected to the inputs of power supply module PS1. AC2 is connected to module PS2 and the
redundant power module PS-Shared, through normally closed transfer switch contacts.
• If AC1 input fails or exceeds the specied voltage range, AC2 will transfer power to the two
modules located in the positions labled PS2 and PS-Shared.
• If AC2 input fails, the AC transfer switch automatically switches from AC2 to AC1. As result,
AC1 connects to the two power supply modules located in locations PS1 and PS-Shared. After
AC2 recovers, the AC transfer switch resets to its original state. This feature allows the system
to be powered by two separate AC sources. In this conguration, the system continues to
operate without interruption if one of the AC sources fails.
Processor Power Pods
Dedicated power pods supply power to each processor. The input connector of the power pod is
connected to the 12 VDC power on the main board via a short ‘Y’ cable. The output connector of the
power pod mates directly with the edge of the processor package.
