Chapter 2: Server Installation

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6017R­M7UF/6017R-M7RF 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 system has come to you with the processor and
memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a mother­board, 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 server 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 server. 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 6017R-M7UF/6017R-M7RF was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, six 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.

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 suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for

2-1

SUPERSERVER 6017R-M7UF/6017R-M7RF User's Manual

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

acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.

2-4 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 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 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 modules to cool before

touching them.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

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 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 connec­tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6017R-M7UF/6017R-M7RF User's Manual

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6017R-M7UF/6017R­M7RF into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server 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 Sections of the Rack Rails

You may have received rack rail hardware with the server. (Two front inner rails
should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner
rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front
inner rails. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c.

Installing the Rear Inner Rails

First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of
the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes on
the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach the rail
to the chassis with M4 fl at head screws. Repeat these steps to install the left rear
inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). You will also need to attach
the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: 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.

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6017R-M7UF/6017R-M7RF
in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-4). Position the chassis
rail guides 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.

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially fi lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

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 2-2.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".

Note: this fi gure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bot-

tom of a rack fi rst.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de­signed to pull the system from a rack only.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the SuperServer 6017R-M7UF/6017R-M7RF into a Telco type rack, use
two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine
how far 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 rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the
brackets to the rack.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the fl oor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/SATA
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 and an on/off switch on the power supply. 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-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button and
a power on/off button.

Reset

The reset button reboots the system.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system
power. T urning 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 SC813MFTQ-400CB/R400CB 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 action you may need to take.

Information LED

This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this
LED fl ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red 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.

3-4 SAS/SATA Drive Carrier LEDs

Each drive carrier has two LEDs.

• Green: When ill uminated, the green LED on the dri ve carrier i ndicates dri ve

activ ity. A connecti on to the backp lane enables t his LED to blink on an d off
when that particular drive is being accessed.

• Red: The red LED to indicate a drive failure. If one of the drives fails, you should

be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for
instructions on replacing failed drives.
