Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6025B-UR 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 specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6025B-UR 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 6025B-

UR. 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 6025B-UR 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

S

UPERSERVER 6025B-UR 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).

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

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

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 simul-

taneously 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 SAS/SATA drives and power supply units 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 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 6025B-UR User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6025B-UR into a

rack unit. If the 6025B-UR 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. The following is a guideline

for installing the system 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

You should have received a total of six rack rail sections with the SuperServer

6025B-UR. Two of these sections secure directly to the 6025B-UR and the third

(which actually consists of two joined sections) secures directly to the rack itself.

All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in

the hardware kit.

Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the

chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two

is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the 6025B-UR

making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c.

Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the side of the chassis

(see Figure 2-1, step 1). There should be two screws for each side. Repeat this

procedure for the other rail on the opposite side of the chassis. Then attach the

two rear chassis rails to the chassis in the same manner, again keeping in mind

that the rails are left/right specifi c. (You will also need to attach the rail brackets

when installng into a telco rack.)

Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack 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.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Figure 2-1. Installing Chassis Rails

2-5

S

UPERSERVER 6025B-UR User's Manual

Installing the Rack Rails:

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6025B-UR in the rack. (See

Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail

guide assemblies (made up of two inter-locking sections) at the desired location in

the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack and the rollers

toward the front of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack. Attach the

other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure both are at the exact

same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

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 2-2.

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 6025B-UR into a Telco type rack, follow the di-

rections 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.

UPERSERVER 6025B-UR User's Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6025B-UR 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 (see Figure 2-3)

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. 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 may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each

processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and

heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 6025B-UR server system may have come with system memory already in-

stalled. 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 airfl ow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the

chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of the fans.

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 Serial ATA drives

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 fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SAS/SATA

disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without

removing the top chassis cover.

2. DVD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives

A slim DVD-ROM and a fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer

to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the

system.

3. Check the SAS/SATA drives

Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or more

drives already installed. If you need to install SAS/SATA drives, please refer to

Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by four 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. An air shroud is also

included in the system to maximize airfl ow. The system component layout was

carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that gener-

ate the most heat. 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

cords from the power supply modules 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).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive carri-

ers 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 buttons on the

chassis control panel.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

The two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis are a reset button and a

power on/off button.

 RESET:

 POWER: This is the main power button, 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.

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

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.

 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.

 NIC1: Indicates network activity on the LAN1 port when fl ashing.

2

 NIC2: Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when fl ashing.

Chapter 3: System Interface

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6025B-UR, this

LED indicates SAS/SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.

 Power:

This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

SAS/SATA Drives



Green: Each drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green

LED (on the front of the drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the

SAS/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 SAS/SATA drives.

 Red: The red LED to indicate a drive failure. If one of the SAS/SATA drives

fail, you should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to

Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.
