Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing speciﬁ c components.

The 7045A-C3/7045A-CT may be employed either as a tower or mounted in a rack as a 4U rackmount chassis. If using it as a tower unit, please read the Server

Precautions in the next section and then skip ahead to Section 2-5.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should ﬁ le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT). It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic ﬁ elds are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the system was shipped in may include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and mounting screws needed for installing the system into a rack (optional kit). Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

2-1

Series3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) User's Manual

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door • completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufﬁ cient airﬂ ow and ease in servicing.

•

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices • acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to • the ﬂ oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple • rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the • rack.

You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-• multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.•

Determine the placement of each component in the rack • before you install the rails.

Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁ rst, and then • work up.

Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from • power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Allow the hot plug SAS/SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before • touching them.

Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers • closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airﬂ ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airﬂ ow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit. Rack installation requires the use of the optional rackmount kit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack or if you are using it as a tower, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the server into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rackmount kit. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner ﬁ xed chassis rail that secures to the chassis, an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself and two rail brackets, which also attack to the rack (see Figure 2-1.) The inner and outer rails must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the inner chassis rail, pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both assemblies (one for each side).

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis Rails

You will need to remove the top cover and the feet to add rack rails to the chassis. First, remove the top and right covers (top and left covers when standing as a tower chassis) by ﬁ rst removing the screws that secure them to the chassis. Depress the button on the top (side if tower) of the chassis to release the cover and then pull the cover off. Then unscrew the four feet and remove them from the chassis (see Figure 2-2).

You can now attach rack rails to the top and bottom (now the sides) of the chassis. First add the rack handles. Then position the inner chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right speciﬁ c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-3). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As mentioned, the chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The ﬁ rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) in the rack. (See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the ﬁ xed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

2-6

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. You should have two brackets in the rack mount kit. Install these ﬁ rst keeping in mind that they are left/right speciﬁ c (marked with "L" and "R"). Then, line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack (see Figure 2-4).

Series3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) User's Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After setting up the the system, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Accessing the Inside of the System

If rack mounted, ﬁ rst release the retention screws that secure the unit to the 1. rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

There are two screws that secure the cover to the chassis - remove these 2. ﬁ rst. Locate the latch on the top (side if tower) of the chassis - depress where it says "push" then lift the latch to release the cover.

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) from damage:

Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well • as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.•

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-• stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and the CD-ROM and ﬂ oppy drives. When disconnecting power, you should ﬁ rst power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar • with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This • is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from • electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been speciﬁ cally designed as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be • plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-1

Serverboard Battery: • CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

• CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-

CD-ROM Laser: ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.

Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive T empera-• ture Coefﬁ cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the SERIES3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) clean • and free of clutter.

The 7045A-C3/7045A-CT weighs approximately 64 lbs (29.1 kg.) when fully • loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs. Don't use the handles (if installed) to lift the chassis; the handles should only be used to pull the server out of the rack.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-• moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and • unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal • conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure • it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags • until ready for use.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic • bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may • retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, • memory modules or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.•

Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not • in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent • conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i serverboard into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have ﬁ nished working with the serverboard to better cool and protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).•

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic • bag.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

•

memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

•

Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic • bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

•

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Series3800/S120T (7045A-C3/7045A-CT) User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Serverboard Installation

This section explains the ﬁ rst step of physically mounting the X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i into the SC743TQ-865-SQ chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.

Installing to the Chassis

Access the inside of the system by removing the screws from the back lip of 1. the side cover of the chassis, then pull the cover off.

The X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 13" 2. serverboard, such as SC743TQ-865-SQ.

Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align properly with their 3. respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.

Carefully mount the serverboard to the serverboard tray by aligning the board 4. holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.

Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboard that line up 5. with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads). Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.

Finish by replacing the chassis cover.6.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the board. These include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

5-2

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the ﬂ ow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-12 for connector locations.)

Control Panel cable (JF1)

•

Floppy drive cable (Floppy)•

7045A-3

SAS drive data cables (SAS0 ~ SAS7)

•

7045A-T

SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA5)

•

SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO-1, T-SGPIO-2)•

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW3) for connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there is a 4-pin secondary power connector (JPW1) as well as an 8-pin processor power connector (JPW2) that must be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin deﬁ nitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-6 Installing Memory

CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.

Installing Memory Modules

Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots. The memory 1. scheme is interleaved, so you must install two modules at a time, beginning with DIMM 1A and DIMM 1B, then DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B and ﬁ nally DIMM 3A and DIMM 3B.

Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch 2. along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.

Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. 3. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

Memory Support

The X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i supports up to 32 GB of registered ECC DDR2-667/533 in 6 slots. Po pulating sl ots with a pair (or pai rs) of DIMMs of th e same ty pe and size will result in interleaved memory.

Notes: Due to OS limi tation s, some op erating sy stems may not sh ow more th an 4 GB of memory.

Due to me mo ry allocat i o n to sys tem d evi c e s, m em o ry remaining ava il ab le fo r operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory availabil ity is d ispro por tio nal. Refer to t he tab le bel ow for det ails.

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect your equipment from static discharge.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic • bag.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

•

memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.•

Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic • bags when not in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

•

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-3 System Fans

Two 8-cm PWM chassis fans provide air intake while one 9-cm PWM exhaust fan expels hot air from the chassis. All are low-noise fans that result in very low system noise levels. The chassis is also ﬁ tted with an air shroud to concentrate the ﬂ ow of cooling air through the system. The fans should be connected to headers on the serverboard (see Chapter 5).

The power supply includes redundant cooling fans. If one fan fails, the rpm of the remaining fan will ramp up its rpm to provide sufﬁ cient cooling. The Power Fail LED will illuminate and an audible alarm will sound, which can be silenced with a button on the power supply. If a power supply fan fails, you should replace the power supply at your earliest convenience.

Fan Failure

Under normal operation, the chassis fans, the exhaust fan and the power supply fans run continuously. The chassis fans are hot-swappable and can be replaced without powering down the system.

Replacing Chassis Cooling Fans

Removing a Fan

First locate the failed chassis fan by removing the top/left chassis cover (see 1. Chapter 2 for details). Locate the fan that has stopped working.

Depress the locking tab on the failed fan: on a chassis fan, push the tab on 2. the side of the housing inward, on the exhaust fan push down on the colored tab.

With the tab depressed, pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-3). The wiring 3. for these fans has been designed to detach automatically.

Installing a New Fan

Replace the failed fan with an identical one.1.

Install it in the same position and orientation as the one you removed; it 2. should click into place when fully inserted.

Check that the fan is working then replace the top/left side chassis panel.3.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation

A total of eight SAS (or six SATA) drives may be housed in the SC743TQ-865-SQ chassis. The drive IDs are preconﬁ gured as 0 through 7 (or 5) in order from bot- tom to top (or from left to right if rackmounted). A bezel covers the drive area but does not need to be removed to access the drives; simply swing open the bezel. If you wish to remove the bezel piece, push on the three tabs on the inside of the left lip of the front chassis cover. Then slightly swing out the same (left) side of the cover - about ½ inch only. Remove by pushing on the open side of the cover to remove it from the chassis (do not try to swing or pull it straight out after opening the left side).

Regardless of how many SAS/SATA drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to promote proper airﬂ ow.

Installing/Removing SAS/SATA Drives

The SAS/SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed without powering down the system.

Open the front bezel then push the release button located beside the drive 1. LEDs.

Swing the handle fully out and then use it to pull the unit straight out.2.

Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SAS/SATA drives.

Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a Drive Carrier

The SAS/SATA drive carriers help to promote proper airﬂ ow for the system. For this reason, even carriers without SAS/SATA drives must remain in the server.

Insert the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down 1. so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws (see Figure 6-5).2.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X7DCA-3/X7DCA-i. The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a ﬂ ash chip and can be easily upgraded using a ﬂ oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and

PS/2

compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters, types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the CMOS Logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the computer is powered on, the computer is conﬁ gured with the values stored in the CMOS Logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

How To Change the Conﬁ guration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the <Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally , the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 7-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS

to prevent possible boot failure.

If you do no t want t h e se va lu e s, e nte r S etu p an d e nter yo u r ow n val ue s . If the error persists, check the system battery or contact your dealer.

System timer error

The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.

Real time clock error Real-Time Clock fails BIOS hardware test. May require board repair.

Check date and time settings

Previous boot incomplete - Default conﬁ guration used

Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup and veri f y th at th e wait st ate co nﬁ guratio n is c o r rec t . Thi s er r or i s cl ear ed t he n ext time the system is booted.

Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS

Appendix B

BIOS POST Codes

This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the PhoenixBIOS. POST codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.

Recoverable PO ST Errors

When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the following beep codes:

1 long and two short beeps - video conﬁ guration error 1 repetitive long beep - no memory detected

Ter minal POST Errors

If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the error in the top left corner of the screen. The following is a list of codes that may be written to port 80h.

POST Code Description
