Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 1027R-

73DARF 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 server system has come to you with the processors and memory

preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, pro-

cessors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each

step for details on installing specic components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 1027R-73DARF was shipped in and

note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should

le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where

heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic 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 1027R-73DARF 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 en-

tirety 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 sufcient airow and ease in servicing.This product is for

installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,

service closets and the like).

2-2

Warnings and Precautions!

•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.

Rack Precautions

•Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the 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 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 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

2-3

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 Airow

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

SUPERSERVER 1027R-73DARF User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 1027R-73DARF into

a rack. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead

to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Note: This rail will 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 1027R-

73DARF into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the instal-

lation 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 xed chassis rail that secures

directly to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to

the rack itself.

Outer Rails

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Inner Rails

The SC113 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.

that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.

3. 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). When the

server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking

tabs "click".

4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the

server to the rack.

Note: gures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks

from the bottom up.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-9

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the SuperServer 1027R-73DARF 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.

Note: these gures are for illustration puposes only. Always install servers to the

bottom of a rack rst.

and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack congurations. 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. See the table in Figure 3-1 for

descriptions of UID LED states.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC113TQ chassis has 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

action you may need to take.

Note: deactivating the UID LED must be performed in the same way it was activated.

(If the UID LED was activated via IPMI, you can only turn the LED off via IPMI and

not with the UID button.)

Information LED

This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this

LED ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an

overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the air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 ashing

or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

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 notied by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for

instructions on replacing failed drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SuperServer 1027R-73DARF from damage:

•Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well

as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical

outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from

the system.

•Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

•Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or install-

ing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and

oppy drive. The 1027R-73DARF has more than one power supply. Disconnect

both power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.

•When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar

with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces-

sary.

•Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use

extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical

components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

•Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically

designed as electrical insulators.

•The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

•Keep the area around the system clean and free of clutter.

•The 1027R-73DARF weighs approximately 39 lbs (17.72 kg) when fully loaded.

When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their

feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift

with your legs.

•Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be

stepped on.

•While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or

be pulled into a cooling fan.

•Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact

with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

!

•Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).

This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom-

mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to

the manufacturer's instructions.

•DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a

DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous

radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon-

ventional way.

•Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coefcient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service

technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one

replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
