Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014L-T 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 6014L-T 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 6014L-T 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 6014L-
T. 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 6014L-T 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 6014L-T 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 and the like).
! !
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
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 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 serv-
ers 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 6014L-T User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6014L-T into a rack
unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sec-
tions 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 6014L-
T. 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 fi xed 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 6014L-T 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.

UPERSERVER 6014L-T 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the SuperServer 6014L-T into a Telco type rack, follow the direc-
tions 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 6014L-T User's Manual
2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 6014L-T 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, 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 serverboard.
Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for

3. Check the system memory
Your 6014L-T server system may have come with system memory already
installed. 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
protection 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: a reset but-
ton 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.
