Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6027R-
72RF/6027R-72RFT 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 system has come to you with the proces-
sors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specic components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT was
shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server 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 the SuperServer 6027R-
72RF/6027R-72RFT. 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. 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 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT 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.
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 sufcient airow and ease in servicing.
2-2
SUPERSERVER 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT User's Manual
•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 the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
!
!
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 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 si-
multaneously 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 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's front door and all panels and components on the servers
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 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 Airow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of air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.).

SUPERSERVER 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC825 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market,
which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. 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" and 33.5" deep.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself.
Installing the Inner Rail Extension
The SC825 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and
inner rail extensions. Inner rail extensions are attached to the inner rails to mount
the chassis in the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other
inner rail extension.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several 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.
Power Fail
Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will
take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be
replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing the power supply. This LED
should be off when the system is operating normally.
Information LED
This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this
LED ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an
overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the air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 ashing
or on as long as the indicated condition exists.
NIC1
Indicates network activity on the LAN1 port when ashing.
NIC2
Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when ashing.

HDD
On the SuperServer 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT, this LED indicates hard drive and/
or DVD-ROM drive activity when ashing.
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 Drive Carrier LEDs
Each drive carrier has two LEDs:
SATA Drives
•Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the SATA drive carrier indicates
drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink
on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter
6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.
•Red: When this LED ashes it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid on
it indicates a SATA drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notied by your
system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on
replacing failed drives.
SAS Drives
•Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates the SAS
drive is powered on. If this LED is not lit, it means no power is being provided for
the drive. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.
•Red: When this LED ashes it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid on
it indicates a SAS drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notied by your
system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on
replacing failed drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT 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.
When disconnecting power, you should rst power down the system with the
operating system rst and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply
units in the system.
•When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces-
sary.
•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 static electrical discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically
designed as electrical insulators.
•The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•Keep the area around the 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT clean and free of clutter.
•The 6027R-72RF/6027R-72RFT weighs approximately 57 lbs (25.9 kg.) when
fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly
with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight
and lift with your legs.
•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.
!
•Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).
This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom-
mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
•DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a
DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous
radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon-
ventional way.
•Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
ture Coefcient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-3 ESD Precautions
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 com ponents and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufcient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•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 the board from the 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.
•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 excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
!
•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.
