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 provided should enable you to have your chassis
setup and operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick set up assumes
that you are an experienced technician, familiar with common concepts and ter-
minology.
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 the 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.
The chassis must be placed near at least one grounded power outlet. When con-
gured, the SC213L chassis includes a power supply which requires a grounded
outlet.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The SC213L chassis includes a set of rail assemblies, including mounting brackets
and mounting screws needed to install the system into a rack. Please read this
manual in its entirety before beginning the rack installation procedure.
SC213 Chassis Manual
2-2
2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SC213L 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 install-•
ing main system components, such as the serverboard, and memory modules
(not necessary for hot-swappable drives). When disconnecting 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 specically 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.
•
2-3
Chapter 2: System Safety
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.
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 sufcient 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 specically 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.
SC213 Chassis Manual
2-4
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 exceLent •
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Chapter 3: System Interface
Chapter 3
System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as other LEDs on the drive
carriers to keep you constantly informed of the over-all status of the system, as
well as the activity and health of specic components. Most SC213L models are
two buttons on the control panel: a reset button and an on/off switch. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may
need to take.
Figure 3-1: Chassis Control Panel
SC213L Chassis Manual
3-2
Power:• Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units.
This LED should normally be iLuminated when the system is operating.
HDD:• Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive
activity when ashing.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC213L chassis has ve LEDs. These
LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system.
This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any correc-
tive action you may need to take.
Power:• The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the
power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button
removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
Therefore, you must unplug system before servicing.
Reset:• The reset button is used to reboot the system. A needle, pen, or other
small device is required to activate this button and reset the system
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are a power
on/off button and a reset button.
3-3
Chapter 3: System Interface
Power Failure:• When this LED ashes, it indicates a power failure in the power
supply.
NIC1:• Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when ashing.
NIC2:• Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when ashing.
Overheat/Fan Fail:• When this LED ashes it indicates a fan failure. When
continuously on (not ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be
caused by cables obstructing the airow 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 properly. This LED will remain ashing or on as long as the overheat
condition exists.

Chapter 5
Rack Installation
5-1 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 minimal amount of time.
5-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box which 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. The system needs
to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
5-3 Preparing for Setup
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and
the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included
is an optional square hole to round hole converter bracket, for use in racks with
round mounting holes. 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 •
sufcient airow and ease in servicing.
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated •
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
SC213L Chassis Manual
5-2
5-4 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.
You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-•
multaneously 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 upwards.
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 hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-•
ing them.
Warning!
!
!
5-3
Chapter 5: Rack Installation
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers •
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
5-5 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).
ReducedAirow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airow 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.).
SC213L Chassis Manual

5-6 Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the 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 from the instructions provided. 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 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail. These assemblies are specically designed for the left and right
side of the chassis.

Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

Explanation of Jumpers
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 identied with
a square solder pad on the printed circuit
board. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"
means the jumper is on and "Open" means
the jumper is off the pins.
