Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 1018D-73MTF
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 1018D-73MTF 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 relevant
chapter or section for details on installing specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 1018D-73MTF 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 1018D­73MTF. 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 1018D-73MTF 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 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).

2-1

SUPERSERVER 1018D-73MTF Manual

• 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.

2-4 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 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 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 hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

ing 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 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 bottom

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.

SUPERSERVER 1018D-73MTF Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 1018D-73MTF into a
rack. If the 1018D-73MTF has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Note: The rails will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

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 1018D­73MTF 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

Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures
directly to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to
the rack itself.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Inner Rail
Extensions

Inner Rails

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-

signed to pull the system from a rack only.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Inner Rails

The SC113MTQ chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails
and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with
normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner
rail extension to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails (Figure 2-2)

1. Place the inner rack 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 two screws as illustrated.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

SUPERSERVER 1018D-73MTF Manual

Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack (Figures 2-3 and 2-4)

1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. You must align the
pins with the slides. Also, both bracket ends must face the same direction.

2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
fi ts snugly into the rack.

3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M5 screws
and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M5 screws.

4. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer rail.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the SuperServer 1018D-73MTF into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the
server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to
balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server,
remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the
two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of
the telco rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets
to the rack.

3-4 Hard Drive Carrier LEDs

Each hard drive carrier has two LEDs.

• Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the drive carrier in-

dicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to
blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

• Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive

is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a drive fails, you should
be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for
instructions on replacing failed drives.
