Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-

fore any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your

vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to

the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside

of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling

charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service is complete.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.super-

micro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the mobile rack in the original Supermicro carton, using

the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the

mobile rack securely, using packaging material to surround the mobile rack so that

it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.

This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in-

curred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper

maintenance of products.

Duringthewarrantyperiod, contactyour distributorrstforanyproductproblems.

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

•Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic

bag.

•Handle the mobile rack backplane by its edges only; do not touch its compo-

nents, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

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

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

1-2 General Safety Guidelines

•Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components

from the computer, including the backplane.

•Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the

backplane.

•Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the mother-

board to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

To modify the operation of the backplane,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts

between two pins to change the function of

theconnector.Pin1isidentiedwithasquare

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means

the jumper is on and "Open" means the

the documentation for your mobile rack or server. You can also visit our website at

http://www.supermicro.com.

Installing the Cooling Fan on the Mobile Rack

1. Power down the system supporting the mobile rack as described in Section

4-6.

2. Align the mounting holes on the fan with the mounting holes in the mobile

rack.

Figure 4-1. Installing the Fan on the CSE-M28SACB Mobile Rack

3. Attach the cooling fan cable to the fan connector.

4. Secure with two screws as illustrated.

Fan Removal

Removing the Cooling Fan from the Mobile Rack

1. Power down the system supporting the mobile rack as described in Section

4-6. Remove the fan cable from the mobile rack by gently pulling the cable

from the backplane.

2. Remove the screws securing the fan to the mobile rack.

3. Pull the fan away from the rear of the mobile rack.
