Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1011M-UR up and run-

ning. 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 motherboard, 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 1011M-UR was shipped in and note if it was dam-

aged 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 1011M-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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server

Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the 1011M-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

AS1011M-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 acccord-

ing 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 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.

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.).

2-3

AS1011M-UR User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 1011M-UR into a rack unit with

the rack rails provided. If the system 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 should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each

assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly

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

itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of

the outer rails are also included.

Installing the Inner Rails

Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.

Proceed to the next step.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

(right side rail shown)

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Outer Rails

Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach

a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear

side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper

distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the

front side of the outer rail with two screws and the long bracket to the rear side of

the outer rail with three screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails

2-5

AS1011M-UR User's Manual

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 2-3.

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.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

2-6

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the 1011M-UR into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on ei-

ther 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.

2-7

AS1011M-UR User's Manual

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 1011M-UR in the rack, you will need to open the top cover to

make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been

made.

1. Accessing the inside of the system (see Figure 2-5)

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it

locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chas-

sis to release the top cover (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of

the chassis) until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to

gain full access to the inside of the server.

To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the

chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to

pull the system out past the locked position.

2. Check the CPU (processor)

You may have a processor already installed in the motherboard. The processor

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

installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 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. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-8

AS1011M-UR User's Manual

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA

drives and SAS/SATA backplane 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 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 disk 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 three sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two

fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-

fully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that generate

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) source.

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 three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button,

a UID button and a power on/off button.

 UID:

the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gura-

tions. 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.

 Reset:

Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

 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.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of th SC815TQ-R450U 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.



Universal Information LED: This LED can indicate any of four conditions.

When this LED is red and blinks on and off quickly it indicates a fan failure. When

blinking red slowly it indicates a power supply failure. When the LED blinks blue it

serves as a UID indicator initiated via IPMI. If blue continuously it is a UID indicator

initiated via the UID button. When red continuously it indicates an overheat condi-

tion, 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 blinking or on as long

as the condition exists or UID is reinitiated.

Note: deactivating the UID LED must be performed in the same way it was acti-

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

IPMI and not with the UID button.)

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

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the 1011M-UR this light indicates

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

 Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply

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

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

SATA Drives

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has two LEDs.

 Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive car-

rier indicates 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 SATA drive fails, you

should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter

6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

SAS Drives

Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs:

 Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive carrier

indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on

and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

 Red: The SES2 compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a

drive failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notifi ed by your system

management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed

SAS drives.
