Chapter 2: System Safety

Chapter 2

System Safety

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.

Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have your chassis set up

and operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that you

are an experienced technician, famailiar with common concepts and terminology.

2-2 Warnings and Precautions

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, le a damage claim with carrier

who delivered your system.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold that chassis. It should

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well venilated. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise and eletromagnetic elds are generated.

You will also need it placed near at least one grounded power outlet. The SC809

chassis includes one power supply.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The SC809 chassis includes a set of rail assemblies, including the mounting brack-

ets and mounting screws required to install the system into the rack. Please read

this manual in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.

2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SC809 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 then can quickly remove power from

the system.

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

2-1

SC809 Chassis Manual

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or install-•

ing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and

the DVD-ROM/USB comport unit. When disconnecting the power, you should

rst power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the

power cords from all the power supply modules in the system.

When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is fa-•

miliar 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 specically designed

as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be •

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

Serverboard battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard •

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities 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.

DVD-ROM laser: CAUTION - This server may have come equipped with a •

DVD-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 uncon-

ventional way.

2-5 General Safety Precautions

Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.•

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.

2-2

Chapter 2: System Safety

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.

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.

2-6 System Safety

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 components and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufcient to neutralize this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from •

electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically designed

as electrical insulators.

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 any board from its 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.

2-3

SC809 Chassis Manual

For grounding purposes, make sure the computer chassis provides excellent •

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

the serverboard.

5-6 Checking the Air Flow

Checking the Server's Air Flow

Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airow in and out of the server. In 1.

addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's lter is replaced

periodically.

Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Use 2.

only recommended server parts.

Make sure that no wires or foreign objects obstruct air ow through the chas-3.

sis. Pull all excess cabling out of the airow path or use shorter cables. The

control panel LEDs inform you of the system status. See “Chapter 3 System

Interface” for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.

Installation Complete

In most cases, the chassis power supply and fans are pre-installed. If you need to

install fans continue to the Systems Fan section at the end of this chapter. If the

chassis will be installed into a rack, continue to the next chapter for rack installa-

tion instructions.

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

5-7 System Fans

Six fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the chassis

as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC809 system fans

are hot-swappable. There is no need to power down the system when switching

fans.

Rubber Feet

Figure 5-9: System Fan

Changing a System Fan

If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which 1.

fan has failed. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the

chassis cover open).

Remove the failed fan's power cord from the serverboard. 2.

Lift the fan housing up and out of the chassis.3.

Gently push the fan upwards from underneath the fan housing to remove it. 4.

Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure 5.

the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same

direction as the arrows on the other fans. Make sure that all four of the fan's

rubber feet are in place.

Place the fan housing back in the chassis.6.

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

5-8 Power Supply

Depending on your chassis model, the SC809 Chassis has a 780 Watt or 980

Watt power supply. This power supply is auto-switching capable. This enables it to

automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. An amber light

will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green

light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Replacement

The SC809 chassis utilizes one power supply. In the unlikely event that the power

supply unit must be replaced, the system will shut down. Replacement units can

be ordered directly from Supermicro. (See the Contact Information section in the

Preface of this manual).

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

Chapter 6

Rack Installation

6-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.

Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system

operational within a minimum amount of time.

6-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage you should le a damage claim with

the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where

heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. You will also need

it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Pre-

cautions in the next section.

6-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies,

two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the

system into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the

installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front •

door completely (25 inches).

Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for •

sufcient airow and ease in servicing.

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated •

equipment rooms, service closets and similar environments).

6-1

SC809 Chassis Manual

6-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •

the oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.•

In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.•

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

the rack.

Only one chassis should be extended from the rack at a time. Extending two or •

more chassis simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

General Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-•

ponents you are adding to your chassis.

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 rst, and then •

work upward.

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.

Allow the hot-swappable hard 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.

6-2

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-

ture 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 tempera-

ture (TMRA).

Reduced Airow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of air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 connec-

tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power

strips, etc.).

6-3

SC809 Chassis Manual

6-5 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the SC818G chassis into a rack unit

with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may

mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the

installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

NOTE: This rail will t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.

Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner xed chassis rail that secures

directly to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to

the rack itself.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

The SC818G chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails (A)

and inner rail extensions (B). The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere

with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the

inner rail extensions to to the inner rails, to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

Place the inner rail extensions (B) over the preattached inner rails (A) which 1.

are attached to the side of the chassis. Align the hooks of the inner rail with

the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the

inner rail.

Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.

Secure the chassis with screws as illustrated.3.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.4.
