Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015A-EHF
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 5015A-EHF system has come to you with the processor and memory
preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, 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 5015A-EHF 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 5015A­EHF. 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 your chassis was shipped in should include four mounting screws, which
you will need if you intend to install the system into a rack. 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).

2-1

SUPERSERVER 5015A-EHF User's Manual

• 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.).

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

ing 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 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 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives to cool before

touching them.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

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.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 5015A-EHF User's Manual

2-5 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the SC502 chassis into a rack unit
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.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Confi rm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount the
chassis into a rack

2. Align the thru holes of the chassis with the thru holes of the rack.

3. Insert the mounting screws into the thru holes in the front of the chassis and
through the thru holes in the rack

Figure 2-1. Installing the Chassis into a Rack

Installing into a Telco Rack

The SC502 supports Telco Rack installation. The SC502 chassis compact design
allows the chassis to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails.

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

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack

1. Confi rm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount the
chassis into a rack

2. Align the thru holes of the chassis with the thru holes of the rack.

3. Insert the mounting screws into the thru holes in the front of the chassis and
through the thru holes in the rack

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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack

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.
