Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6022C 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 SuperServer 6022C system has come
to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not
already fully integrated with a motherboard, processors, system memory
etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 6022C

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6022C was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you
should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6022C. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields 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 6022C 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 6022C 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 sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Rack Precautions

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor 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

first, 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 drives and power supply units 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.

2-4 Installing the SuperServer 6022C into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6022C into
a rack unit. If the 6022C 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 6022C into a rack with the
rack rails provided. 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
6022C. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the 6022C (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that
secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched
between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail. (See Figure
2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed 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.

SUPERSERVER 6022C User's Manual

Installing the Chassis Rails

Remove the handles on the 6022C chassis (see Figure 2-1) and position the
fixed chassis rail sections along the side of the 6022C chassis making sure
the two screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right spe
cific. Slide the rails on to the hooks on both sides of the chassis. Screw
the rail securely to the side of the chassis, and then reinstall the chassis
handle (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 first 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 6022C in the rack.
(See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fixed 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

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

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 chassis. Do this by
lining up the rear of the chassis 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.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6022C into a Telco type rack, follow
the directions 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.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 6022C in the rack, you will need to open the unit to
make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the 6022C (see 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 CPUs (processors):

You should have one or two processors already installed into the
system board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached.
See Section 5-5 for instructions on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory:

Your 6022C server system may have come with system memory already
installed. Make sure all RIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details
on adding system memory, refer to Section 5-6.

4. Installing add-on cards:

If desired, you can install low profile add-on cards to the system. See
Section 5-7 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

5. Check all cable connections and airflow:

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Section 5-3 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 motherboard area of the chassis.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives, the SCSI
drives and SCA backplane have been properly installed and all connections
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 floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front
of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover. The 5.25" drive
bay cover can be removed by pressing the tab on the corner of the drive
bay and then pushing the bay outward from the inside.

2. Check the SCSI disk drives:

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or more SCSI drive already installed. If you need to install additional SCSI
drives, please refer to Section 6-4.

3. Installing components into the 5.25" drive bay:

Refer to Section 6-4 if you wish to install a component into the 5.25"
drive bay.

4. Reinstalling a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk drives:

Refer to Section 6-4 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

2-7 Checking the System Airflow

Airflow is provided by four 8-cm redundant cooling fans. The system com­ponent layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through
the 2U rackmount space. Note that all power and data cables have been
routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the
fans.

2-8 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 protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is
recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) source.
Finally, depress the power button on the front of the chassis to apply
power and boot the system.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI
drive carriers and the motherboard to keep you constantly informed of the
overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific
components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel and
an on/off switch on the power supply. 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.

l RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.

l 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.
(See also the power supply on/off switch in Section 3-5.)

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC822 chassis has five 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 action you may need to take.

l Overheat: Indicates an overheat condition in the chassis. This may
be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system, or the ambient
room temperature being too warm. You should also check to make sure
that the chassis cover is installed and that all fans are present and operat­ing normally. Make certain that the heat sinks are installed properly (see
section 5-5 and figure 5-4) and make certain that the chassis top cover is in
place durning server operation to assure proper cooling air circulation.

l NIC: Indicates network activity on the LAN when flashing.

l HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6022C, this

light indicates CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

l Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power

supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is
operating.

3-4 SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs

A SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

l Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SCSI drive

carrier 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.

l Red: A SAF-TE compliant backplane is needed to activate the red LED
to indicate a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane is optional
on the 6022C.) If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your
system management software. Please refer to Section 6-4 for instructions
on replacing failed SCSI drives.

3-5 Motherboard LED

There is only one LED on the motherboard. When illuminated, it indicates
that system power is present on the motherboard. This LED is located in
near the floppy connector.
