Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 2027R-

E1R24N 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, 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 2027R-E1R24N 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 SuperServer 2027R-

E1R24N. 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 2027R-E1R24N 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

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-E1R24N User's Manual

•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.

!

!

Warnings and Precautions!

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 any 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.).

2-4

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-E1R24N User's Manual

2-4 Rack Mounting Instructions

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

rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean

that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You

should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are

using. NOTE: This rail will t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each

assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to

the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends

from the outer rail. These assemblies are specically designed for the left and right

side of the chassis.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the 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 speci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 (in order from left to

right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

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. Therefore, the system power cord should

be unplugged before performing service.

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 ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on 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.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

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

and the SuperServer 2027R-E1R24N 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 in-

stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules

and oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should rst power down the

system with the operating system rst and then unplug the power cords of all

the power supply units in the system.

•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.

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-E1R24N User's Manual

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

•Keep the area around the 2027R-E1R24N clean and free of clutter.

•The 2027R-E1R24N weighs approximately 61 lbs (27.7 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.

Chapter 4: System Safety

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical

charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to

neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufcient to neutralize this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

•Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags

until ready for use.

•Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

•Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

•Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or contacts.

•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

•Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not

in use.

•For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.

!

•After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure

it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections

have been made.

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X9DRi-LN4F+ serverboard

into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All

serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick refer-

ence chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely

close the chassis when you have nished working with the serverboard to better

cool and protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully

(see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand

under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures

are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.

Precautions

•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD).

•Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic

bag.

•Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or gold contacts.

•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

•Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic

bags when not in use.

•For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-E1R24N User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis-

charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static

protected.

5-2 Connecting Cables

Several cables need to be connected to the serverboard. These include the data

cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully

routed to prevent them from blocking the ow of cooling air that moves through

the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you

should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting

them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data

cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page

5-10 for connector locations.)

•SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA5)

•Control Panel cable (JF1)

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X9DRi-LN4F+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for con-

nection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin 12V processor

power connectors (JPW2 and JPW3) that must be connected to your power supply.

See Section 5-9 for power connector pin denitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1

for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make

sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects

to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on

the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-6 Adding PCI Add-On Cards

The 2027R-E1R24N can accommodate up to four PCI add-on cards.

Installing an Add-on Card

1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate.

2. Fully seat the card into the slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on

both sides of the card.

3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.

The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI

and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering

each unused slot.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the

serverboard, jumpers can be used

to choose between optional settings.

Jumpers create shorts between two

pins to change the function of the con-

nector. Pin 1 is identied with a square

solder pad on the printed circuit board.

See the serverboard layout pages for

jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"

means the jumper is on both pins and

"Open" means the jumper is either on

only one pin or completely removed.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins,

this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents

of CMOS.

To clear CMOS,

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such

as a small screwdriver.

3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-

nance on the SC216E16-R920LPB chassis. For component installation, follow the

steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If

some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.

Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform

maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very

carefully. The following measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment

from ESD damage.

Precautions

•Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

•Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

•Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or gold contacts.

•When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

•Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic

bags when not in use.

•For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-4 System Cooling

System Fans

Three 8-cm hot-swap chassis fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 2027R-

E1R24N. It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed in order

for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

See Figure 6-3.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining

fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will

turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and

model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis

cover while the system is still running to determine which of the fans has failed.

Replacing System Fans

Replacing a System Fan

1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which

fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time

with the chassis open.)

2. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it

completely out of the chassis.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DR6-LN4F+/X9DRi-

LN4F+. It also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup

utility screens. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be

easily updated.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <F2> key while the system

is booting up.

In most cases, the <F2> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen. There

are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F8>, <F9>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup

menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can

be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key

legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the

left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

The AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. The manufacturer retains the

option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.

The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."

Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup

navigation. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Conguration Data

The conguration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<F2> at the appropriate time during system boot.
