Chapter 2: Server Installation

Chapter 2

Rack Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.
Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system
operational within a minimal amount of time.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box which the chassis was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the chassis 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 your chassis. 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. The system needs
to be 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 your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and
the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included
is an optional square hole to round hole converter bracket, for use in racks with
round mounting holes. 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).

• 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).

2-2

SUPERSERVER 8047R-7JRFT USER'S MANUAL

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 installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure that 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.

General Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-

ponents you are adding to your chassis.

• 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 upwards.

• 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 hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

ing them.

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

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.).

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.

2-5 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 fi t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes a rack rail assembly 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 specifi cally designed for the left and right
side of the chassis..

Locking Tabs

Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

Releasing the Inner Rail

Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies as described on page 5-4.

2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated
below.

3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.

4. Pull the inner rail all the way out.

5. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.

1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.

2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.

3. Hang the hooks of the front of the outer rail onto the slots on the front of
the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack, as
illustrated above.

4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it fi ts within the
posts of the rack.

5. Hang the hooks of the rear portion of the outer rail onto the slots on the rear
of the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the
rear of the rack.

6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the remaining outer rail.

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.

Note: fi gures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks
from the bottom up.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the 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. Most SC848 models have two buttons
on the chassis control panel: a reset button and a power on/off switch. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate responses you
may need to take.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the left handle of the SC848 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.

Power: The main power button is used to apply or remove power from the power
supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes
the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you
must unplug system before servicing.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the left handle of the chassis. These are
(in order from top to bottom) a power on/off button and a reset button.

Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This
LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA drive, and/or DVD-ROM drive
activity when fl ashing.

Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system.
