Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014V-T2 up

and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the

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

your 6014V-T2 system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled.

If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processor, 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 SuperServer 6014V-T2 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 SuperServer 6014V-

T2. 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. Read the Rack and Server

Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6014V-T2 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 minimal amount of time. Please read this section in

its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that

follow.

2-1

S

UPERSERVER 6014V-T2 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, etc.).

!

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 a 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 simul-

taneously 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives 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.

2-2

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.).

UPERSERVER 6014V-T2 User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6014V-T2 into a

rack unit. 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. The following is a guideline

for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. 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 with the SuperServer 6014V-

T2. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail

that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail

brackets. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached

to the fi xed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails must be detached from

each other to install.

To remove the fi xed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear

a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks

the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out.

Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the chassis making sure the fi ve screw holes line up. Note that these two rails

are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure

2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You

will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, 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 Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6014V-T2 in the rack (see Rack

and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail guide

assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing

the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets

provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that

both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

2-5

S

UPERSERVER 6014V-T2 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". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold

the front of the server to the rack.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

2-6

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6014V-T2 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 accomodate the width of the telco rack.

UPERSERVER 6014V-T2 User's Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6014V-T2 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure

the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the system (Figure 2-5)

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two

handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a

"click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the

top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front of the top cover

to help you push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top

cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPU (processor)

You may have one or two processors already installed into the system board. Each

processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions

on processor and heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 6014V-T2 server system may have come with system memory already in-

stalled. 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 an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details

on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow

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

airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check the air seals

for damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and beneath the frame

cross section that separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the

chassis.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives

and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec-

tions have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM

and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA

disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without

removing the top chassis cover.

2. Installing a CD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives

Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to

the system.

3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives

Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or two

Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives, please

refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component layout was

carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small 1U rackmount

space. Also 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 from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that offers protec-

tion from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the Serial ATA

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 but-

tons 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 reset button and a power on/off button.

 RESET:

 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.

The reset switch reboots the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has fi 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 corrective ac-

tion you may need to take.



Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED fl ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When

on continuously 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 properly (see Chapter

5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.
