An ACPI aware operating system can put the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power supply fans will still run.

The system board supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5:

■ s0: Normal running state.

■ s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor

caches will maintain coherency.

Selecting a Site

The system operates reliably in a typical office environment.

You may also choose to install the system into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet (See “Rack Installation Kit Assembly” on page 2-5).

In both cases, choose a site that is:

■ Near grounded, three-pronged power outlets.

Note: For the United States and Canada, this means a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC. The system cannot be used on a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC. For other international sites, this means three-pronged power outlets applicable for the electrical code of the region.

Warning

Be sure the power service connection is through a properly grounded outlet.

■ Clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Every side ventilating openings kept free of

obstructions. Away from sources of heat, vibration or physical shock.

■ Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced by

electrical devices (such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices)

■ Spacious enough around the system to allow proper cooling, airflow, and cable

clearance.

Caution

Leave enough space behind the system. Not doing so may result in overheating and damaging the system.

■ Easily accessible for system maintenance and installation of system upgrades.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, please review the following cautions, warnings, and general guidelines.

Warning

Be sure that power to the system is turned off and unplugged. All voltage is removed only when the power cords are unplugged.

■ Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component can cause

serious damage.

■ Do not disconnect or remove parts other than those specified in the procedure.

■ Do not touch I/O connector pins.

■ All screws are Phillips-head, unless otherwise specified.

■ On completion of any assembly or reassembly, perform a power-on test. If a fault

occurs, verify that the assembly or reassembly was performed correctly. If the problem persists, see “Problem Solving” in chapter 5 in the TM710 User’s Guide.

Static Precautions

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components.

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.

Assembly

The following subsection describes how to assemble your rack-mount server into a standard 19-inch rack cabinet.

Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the rack-mount server. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the bottom of the rack cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more than 75% filled with components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit.

Note: When planning your system configuration for the

rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables that interconnect system components.

I-Select TS100 / I-Select TW100 User Guide - Setting Up Your System

2 - 7

Warning

■ ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be

anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack.

■ MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for install-

ing an AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).

■ GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential

for an electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding conductor with the rack installation. If a server power cord is plugged into an AC outlet that is part of the rack, then you must provide proper grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.

Caution

Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when

installed in an equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C or rise above 35 °C. Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your server.

Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 4,100 Btu's per hour for the server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the environment in which the server will be used.

Note: For vertical reference, every three screw holes on

the rack vertical mounting rail are equal to 1U (1.75 inches).

Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly spaced in a 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/2-inch sequence. Perform the following steps carefully; brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for the next server you install in a rack.

Using the System

The following subsections describe how to use this system properly and safely, including an explanation of the system power on/off sequences, what the POST program checks in the system, and how to perform a forced power shutdown.

When using the system the following precautions should be observed.

■ Make sure you power off the system before connecting or disconnecting cables

between the system and peripheral devices. Connecting or disconnecting the cables while the system is powered on may cause malfunction or failures within the system.

■ Verify that the access lamp on the diskette drive is unlit before turning off the sys-

tem or ejecting the floppy disk. Turning off the system or ejecting the floppy disk while the access lamp is lit may damage data being stored on the floppy disk.

■ After turning off the system, wait at least 10 seconds before turning it on again.

Cycling the power immediately may cause malfunction or failures of the system.

■ Before relocating the system, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from

the outlet. Moving the system when it is powered may cause malfunction or failures of the system.

■ Some software includes a command to eject the CD-ROM tray or a media in a

device mounted in the 5.25-inch device bay. Make sure that the front door of the tower-based cabinet is open before running the command. Running this command with the front door closed may cause the CD-ROM tray or the media to hit against the front door, resulting in a possible failure of the CD-ROM.

■ Clean the system regularly. Regular cleaning prevents failures of the system and its

components.

■ Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, an unin-

terruptible power supply unit is recommended.

■ Only use options qualified for the system. A non-qualified option may be mounted

or connected to the system, but it may fail to operate normally or even cause failures. These types of failures are not covered under warranty.

General Information

Warning

The DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn off completely the system AC power. Also, +5vdc is present on the system board whenever the AC power cord is connected between the system and an AC outlet. Before doing the procedures in this manual, make sure that your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cord from the back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before opening your system can result in personal injury and equipment damage.

Caution

Operating your system with the side access panels removed can damage your system components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the side access panels before powering on your system.

Warning

Avoid burns: If the system has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be careful when removing or installing components that are located near processors.

Contact your sales representative or dealer for a list of approved optional peripheral devices.

Static Precautions

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.

Replacing the Right Side Door

Avoid damaging your system - before replacing the right side door, make sure no cables or other devices protrude from the chassis.

Note: If you have previously removed the front panel, be sure to fasten it securely to the chassis before restoring the cover. The front panel must be securely connected to the chassis before you replace the cover.

1. Take a few moments to examine the interior side of the cover, and notice the 2 rails on two separate edges and the 3 slots located on a third edge.

2. Leaving about 1 centimetre to slide the cover forward, lay the cover on the chassis, and check that the rail is ready to slide on its corresponding edge and that the slots are ready to fit with their corresponding metal hooks. You may find this procedure easier to follow if you lay the unit on the left side.

3. Make sure the cover is properly inserted; the cover, the chassis and the front panel should fit squarely together.

4. Push the release latch down.

5. Lock the key.

Installing and Removing an Expansion Card

Your computer's motherboard features several expansion slots that can accommodate accessory expansion cards, such as a video board, a SCSI board or a RAID board. Please refer to section Expansion Cards Resources hereafter for details.

RAID Controller

Take the following into consideration when installing either a S-ATA Disk array controller or a SCSI Disk array controller. Refer to the manual that comes with the RAID controller for details.

■ Prepare the hard disk drives and cables corresponding to the RAID controller to be

installed.

■ Configure the Logical Settings of the hard disk drive.

■ Prepare the number of hard disk drives required for desired RAID (Redundant

Array of Inexpensive [Independent] Disks) level.

■ Installing hard disks in the disk array configuration or changing the RAID level

initializes hard disks. Make sure to backup any valuable data that may be present on the hard disk drive before installing the disk mirroring controller board and configuring the array.

■ Use hard disks of the same capacity and revolution for each pack to configure them

in the array.

■ The disk array configuration improves disk reliability but provides a smaller disk

capacity than the total capacity of hard disks in the disk array configuration.

■ When the disk array controller board is replaced, restore the disk array

configuration information in the disk array controller board. Use the configuration utility for the restoration. Refer to chapter 5 for details.

SCSI Controller

Take the following into consideration either when installing an SCSI controller or when using SCSI hard disk drives as internal hard disk drives. Refer to the manual that comes with the SCSI controller for details.

■ Prepare the hard disk drives (up to 4 drives) and cables appropriate to SCSI

controller to be installed.

■ Configure the Logical Settings of hard disk drive.

■ When the controller is choosed to boot on OS, install the hard disk controller in the

highest priority PCI slot, i.e. in the smallest PCI slot number.
