Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1011S-MR2 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
1011S-MR2 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 1011S-MR2 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 101 1S-MR2. 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 1011S-MR2 does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system
can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package is
available if you wish to order from Supermicro. 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.

2-1

AS1011S-MR2 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).

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 a 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
simultaneously 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 power supply units to cool before touching them.

-

Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the serv-

ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

(Rack hardware optional)

This section provides information on installing the 1011S-MR2 into a rack unit. If
the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections
2-5 and 2-6.

Basic Installation Procedure

The 1011S-MR2 server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located
on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply
screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
As Figure 2-1 shows, the brackets can be located at the front of the chassis (left
fi gure) or moved approximately one-third to the rear of the chassis (right fi gure).

Figure 2-1. Installing the Server into a Rack: Basic

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing with Rackmount Kit

This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).
Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the
chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-2).
This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

Installing the Chassis Rails

The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do this
by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position
then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack
rail assemblies.

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the chassis making sure the three screw holes line up.
are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure
2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. 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.

Note that these two rails

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the 1011S-MR2 in the rack (see Rack and
Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail guide
assemblies 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.

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 2-3.

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.

(w/ Optional Rackmount Kit)

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the 101 1S-MR2 into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given
on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation
procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be
spaced apart just enough to accomodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 1011S-MR2 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make
sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.

1. Accessing the inside of the server (Figure 2-6)

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two

handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a
"click"). Then, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the chassis top
cover (see Figure 2-6 for location). Next, depress the two buttons on the top

of the chassis to release the top cover while pushing the cover away from you
until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPU (processor)
You may have a processor already installed into the system board. The proces­sor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor installation.

3. Check the system memory
Your 1011S-MR2 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.

AS1011S-MR2 User's Manual

4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check that
the air shroud is properly installed.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drive
have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays
For servicing the Serial ATA, CD-ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove
the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drive is located at the front right side of
the chassis.

2. Installing a CD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to
the system.

3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have a Serial ATA
hard drive already installed. If you need to install a Serial ATA hard drive, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by two sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system compo-
nent layout was carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small
1U rackmount space. Also 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 fan.

5. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power
cord from the power supply unit 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).

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of
the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c com-
ponents. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel. 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. These are (in order
from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

 Reset:

 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.

The reset button reboots the system.
