Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 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 processors 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 specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the server 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 6014P-8/
6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82. 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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 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.

2-1

SUPERSERVER 6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 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.

!

Warnings and Precautions!

!

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 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

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 Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow
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.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit
with the rack rails provided. If the system 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Rack Sections

You should have received a rack mounting kit with the server. The kit
includes four rail sections for each side of the server. The two front
chassis rails have already been attached to the chassis. An additional
chassis rail and two rack rails (for each side of the servr) are also included
in the mounting kit. (See Figure 2-1).

Chassis Rails

The front chassis rails should have already been installed to the chassis
with flat head screws. Check to make sure that both are securely at­tached, then use screws to secure the rear chassis rails to the chassis so
that they are flush against the rear end of the front rails (see Figure 2-2).

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rails

(right side rail assembly shown)

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Rack Rails

Begin by joining together the front and rear rack rails. Do this by inserting
the standoffs from one rail into the grooves of the other rail and then pulling
the rails in opposite directions so that the standoffs slide into the narrow
part of the groove.

Take this assembly and hold it up to the rack (at the desired height) to
determine the proper length - the standoffs/groove allows you to adjust the
length of the rail to fit the depth of the rack. After adjusting the rail assem­bly to the proper lenght, secure the it to the rack with the screws provided.
Then repeat the procedure for the other side, making sure both rails are
secured to the rack at the same height.

Locking Tabs

The 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.

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 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 6014P-8/6014P-8R 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
accommodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6014P-8/6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 in the rack,
you will need to open the top cover to make sure the serverboard is prop­erly installed and all the connections have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-5)

First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system 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 (1). Push the cover away from you
(toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops (2). You can then lift the top
cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.

2. Check the CPUs (processors)

You should have one or two processors already installed in the
serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 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 add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 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 chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives and SCSI backplane have been properly installed and all connections
have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the
DVD-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.

2. DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives

A slim DVD-ROM and floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI disk drives

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

4. Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by five sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of
two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout
was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the compo­nents that generate the most heat. 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.

5. Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug
the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s) 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.

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the chassis control panel as well as others on
the SCSI drive carriers 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. 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 UID button and a power on/off
button.

z UID: Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on

both the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large
stack configurations (see page 5-21). The LED will remain on until the
button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the rear of the
chassis serves the same function.

z 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.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC814+S-560/SC814+S-R560
chassis has six LEDs, which 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.

z UID: This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is

pushed. Pushing either button a second time will turn this LED off.

z Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure.
When on continuously (on and not flashing) it indicates an overheat condi­tion, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow 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 flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

HDD: Indicates hard drive activity. On the SuperServer 6014P-8/

z

6014P-8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82 this light indicates SCSI and/or DVD-ROM
drive activity when flashing.

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

supply module(s). With the 6014P-8/6014P-82, this LED should always be
green when the system is operating. On the 6014P-8R/6014P-82R, this LED
turns amber in the event of a power supply failure or if a power supply
cord is disconnected or loose.

3-4 SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

z Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of a 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.

z Red: A SAF-TE compliant backplane (standard on the 6014P-8/6014P-
8R/6014P-82R/6014P-82) activates the red LED, which indicates a drive
failure. If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your system
management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on remov­ing and replacing SCSI drives.
