1-3 Server Chassis Features
The 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) is built upon the SC816S-(R)400/SC816T-(R)400 1U
server chassis (1010P-8 = SC816S-400, 1010P-8R = SC816S-R400, 1010P-T =
SC816T-400, 1010P-TR = SC816T-R400). The following is a general outline of the
main features of the SC816S-(R)400/SC816T-(R)400 chassis.
System Power
The 1010P-8 and 1010P-T feature a single 400W cold-swap power supply. Power
must be removed from the system before servicing or replacing the power supply.
The 1010P-8R and 1010P-TR feature a redundant 400W hot-swap power supply.
Power does not need to be removed from the system before servicing or replacing
one of the two power supply modules.
SCSI Subsystem
The SC816S-400/SC816S-R400 chassis was designed to support four SCSI hard
drives, which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SCSI drives.
1-3
AS1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) User's Manual
Serial ATA Subsystem
For the 1010P-T and 1010P-TR, the SC816T-400/SC816T-R400 chassis was
designed to support four Serial ATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.

Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) up
and running. 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.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) 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 rack unit that will hold the 1010P-8(R)/1010P-
T(R). 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 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) 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. 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
AS1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) 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).
- Leave 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).
!
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
simultaneously 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.
-
Allow the hot plug SCSI/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 serv-
ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server 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 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 connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

AS1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) into a
rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into
a rack, 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.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit
you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Proceed to the next step. A
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(right side rail shown)
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach
a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear
side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper
distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the
front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side
of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs
Both 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.
Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails
2-5
AS1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) User's Manual
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. Do this by lining up the rear of the chas-
sis 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). See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) into a Telco type rack, follow the di-
rections given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the
installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They
should be spaced apart just enough to accommodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) in the rack, you will need to open the
top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the system (see Figure 2-5)
First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chas-
sis to release the top cover (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of
the chassis) until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to
gain full access to the inside of the server.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the
chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to
pull the system out past the locked position.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You may have a processor already installed in the serverboard. The processor
needs a heatsink installed. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink
installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make
sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory,
refer to Chapter 5.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing PCI add-on cards.
5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the
chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI/SATA
drives and backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-
ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SCSI
/SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis
without removing the top chassis cover.
2. DVD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives
A slim DVD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the
system.
3. Check the SCSI/SATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI/SATA drives, please
refer to Chapter 6.
4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by three sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two
fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-
fully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that generate
the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a
way that they do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
5. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the
power cord(s) from the power supply module(s) into a high-quality power strip
that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) source.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the chassis control panel as well as others on the
SCSI/SATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of
the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are
also two buttons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings
of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are
(in order from left to right) a UID button and a power on/off button.
UID:
the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gura-
tions. The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another
UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.
Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both
POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off
the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the
main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC816S-(R)400/SC816T-(R)400 chas-
sis has six LEDs, which provide you with critical information related to different parts
of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and
any corrective action you may need to take.
UID: This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is pushed.
Pushing either button a second time will turn this LED off.
Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When
on continuously (on and not fl ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may
be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in the system or the ambient room
temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all
fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that
the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed prop-
erly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as the overheat
condition exists.

Chapter 3: System Interface
HDD: Indicates hard drive activity. On the AS1010P-8(R)/1010P-T(R) this
light indicates SCSI and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.
Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply
module(s). With the 1010P-8/1010P-T, this LED should always be green when the
system is operating. On the 1010P-8R/1010P-TR, this LED turns amber in the event
of a power supply failure or if a power supply cord is disconnected or loose.
3-4 SCSI/SATA Drive Carrier LEDs
1010P- 8/1010P-8R: Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SCSI drive car-
rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SCSI SCA backplane enables this
LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Red: The SAF-TE compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a
drive failure. If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notifi ed by your system
management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed
SCSI drives.
1010P-T/1010P-TR: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illumi-
nated, this green LED (on the front of the Serial ATA drive carrier) indicates drive
activity. A connection to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to blink on
and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter 6
for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.
Note: The second LED on the SATA carriers is not used.
