Notes:

1. The Amber status takes precedence o ver the Green status. When the Amber LED is on
or blinking, the Green LED is off.

2. In order for a hard disk fault indication to occur , either an Intelligent Platf orm Management
Interface (IPMI) based satellite management controller must send a Set Fault Indication
command to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), or the system board must
be used with the 2U MAXDATA PLATINUM 2200R hot swappable backplane.

3. Also off when the system is powered off or in a sleep state.

4. The Power LED sleep indication is maintained on standby b y the chipset. If the sy stem
is powered down without going through BIOS, the LED state in effect at the time of
power of f will be restored when the system is po wered on until the BIOS clears it. If the
system is not pow ered down normally, it is possible that the Power LED will be blinking
at the same time that the System Status LED is off due to a failure or configuration
change that prevents the BIOS from running.

Peripherals

The chassis provides external bays for peripherals that can be purchased separately and
added to the system. The following describes the available options.

Hot Swappable SCSI Hard Dr ives

The chassis ships with six drive carriers for mounting SCSI hard drives in the hard drive
bays.

The SCSI hard drives are hot sw appable. When a drive fails, the SCSI bac kplane detects the
failure, reports it, and powers do wn the failed drive. The drive fault LED becomes a continuous
amber light. After the failed drive is removed and a new drive is inserted, there is a short
wait before pow er is applied to the drive and the driv e fault LED becomes a random blinking
green light.

✏ NOTE

Drives can consume up to 17 watts of power each. Drives must be specified to run at a
maximum ambient temperature of 50 °C.

MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Manual

Flex Bay

The flex bay can be used with either the optional CD-ROM/FDD module or a seventh hot
swappable SCSI HDD.

The CDROM/FDD module ma y only be inserted or remov ed from the flex bay when sy stem
power is turned off. The CD-ROM/FDD module is NOT hot swappable.

P ower Supply

The pow er supply consists of the power supply ba y and one power supply module. A second
power supply module can be purchased to provide a redundant, 1+1 system. With either
configuration, the power supply provides 350 watts of power and is designed to minimize
EMI. T he pow er supply operates within the following v oltage ranges and is rated as follows:

• 100-120 V~ at 50/60 Hertz (Hz); 6.3A maximum

• 200-240 V~ at 50/60 Hz; 2.5A maximum

The pow er subsystem supports implementation of remote management f eatures including
remote enable that permits power to be activated from a variety of sources.

A -48V DC power supply bay is available for solutions requiring this configuration.

System Cooling

The c hassis includes two 80-mm non-hot-swappable system fans f or cooling the processor(s),
hard drives, and add-in cards. A third fan may be added to the center position to provide
cooling redundancy for system components. The system fans are mounted in a f an assembly
located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling air through the c hassis. The power supply
contains a single fan for cooling.

Chassis Security

To help prevent unauthorized access to the system’s peripherals and control panel, install
the optional front bezel, which provides a key lock. The chassis also includes a preinstalled
intrusion switch for the top access cover that can be monitored by server management
software. When the co ver is opened, the switc h, located on the front panel board, transmits
a signal to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the server board, where server
management software processes the signal.

Locking and Unlocking the Front Bezel

To unlock the bezel, insert the key in the lock and turn the lock counterclockwise until it
stops (about a quarter turn). The bezel is now unlocked and can be opened again.

To lock the bezel, insert the key in the lock. Turn the lock clockwise until it stops (about a
quarter turn). The bezel is now locked and cannot be opened.
