1-5 Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before
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.
supermicro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the
original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the
chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis 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
incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.

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

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1

Chapter 2

Server Installation

This chapter outlines the procedure to install your system into a rack. If your system
is not already fully integrated with a drives, processors, or system memory refer to
the relevant chapter for details on installing components.

2-1 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box in which your server was shipped and note if it was
damaged. If the server itself shows damage, fi le a claim with the carrier.

2-2 Preparing for Setup

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be
in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. It must be near a grounded power
outlet.

The box in which the server was shipped includes two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and mounting screws to install the system into the rack. The
installation procedure is provided later in this chapter. Please read this section and
"Warnings and Precautions" section before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

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

door completely (~25 inches) and 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).

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

acccording to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual

2-3 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 mul-

tiple 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 any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching

them.

• Always keep the rack front door and all panels and components on the serv-

ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera­ture 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 tempera­ture (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 connec­tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially fi lled rack, load the rack from the bot-

tom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

• Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Completing the Confi guration

Your server may or may not come with hard disk drives, processors or system
memory already installed. The following sections refer you to the procedures for
installing these components.

Checking the Components and Setup

• To install processors and heatsinks into the serverboard, see Chapter 5 for

the procedure.

• To install system memory DIMMs, refer to Chapter 5.

• To install hard disk drives or optional peripheral drives, see the procedures in

Chapter 6.

• To install expansion cards to the system, see Chapter 6.

Checking the Airfl ow

• Airfl ow is provided by three 8-cm chassis cooling fans. The system compo-

nent layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the
components that generate the most heat.

• To install the air shroud that assists with air fl ow, see Chapter 6.

• Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking

the chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of
the fans.

Providing Power

After installing or checking components and mounting your server in its rack, con­nect the power.

1. Plug the power cords from the power supply units 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).

2. Depress the power button on the front of the chassis.

SUPERSERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

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 fi t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of three
sections: An inner rail that 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 specifi cally designed for the left and right side of the chassis.

posts of the rack.

5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the
rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level.
If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

6. Repeat for the other outer rail.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack
must be bolted to the fl oor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

Do not use a two post "telco" type rack.

Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails

Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to

support the chassis during installation. Please follow safety recommendations
printed on the rails.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated above.

2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.

3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides. When the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should
click into the locked position.

4. Optional screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.

Note: The fi gure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to
the bottom of the rack fi rst.

Caution: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

There are six LEDs that provide status information about the system.

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.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

The chassis includes two push-buttons that control power to the system.

Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system power supply units. This
LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

HDD: Indicates activity on a hard drive when fl ashing.

NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when fl ashing.

Status Description

Continuously on and red

An overheat condition has occured.

(This may be caused by cable congestion.)
Blinking red (1Hz) Fan failure, check for an inoperative fan.
Blinking red (0.25Hz) Power failure, check for a non-operational power supply.

Solid blue

Local UID has been activated. Use this function to locate

the server in a rack mount environment.
Blinking blue

Remote UID is on. Use this function to identify the

server from a remote location.

Overheating

There are several possible responses if the system overheats.

Responses

If the server overheats:

1. Use the LEDs to determine the nature of the overheating condition.

2. Confi rm that the chassis covers are installed properly.

3. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally.

4. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly.
