Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1041M-T2+ 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, 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 1041M-T2+ 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 1041M-T2+. 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 1041M-T2+ 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.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
•
door completely (~25 inches).
2-1
AS1041M-T2+ User's Manual
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
•
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 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.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
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 SATA 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
•
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 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

AS1041M-T2+ User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 1041M-T2+ 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
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 M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side
of the outer rail with three M4 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
Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails
2-5
AS1041M-T2+ 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.
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the server 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 at-

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1041M-T2+ in the rack, you will need to open the top cover
to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have
been made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack. Grasp
1.
the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it locks
(you will hear a "click").
Next, release the thumbscrew at the middle rear of the top cover.
2.
Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.
3.
Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops.
4.
You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server (see Figure 2-4).
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in
5.
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.
Checking the Components and Setup
You may have upt to four processors already installed in the serverboard.
1.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed-
2.
Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding
system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for
3.
details on installing PCI add-on cards.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-
1.
ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The
SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis
without removing the top chassis cover.
A slim DVD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
2.
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to
the system.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
3.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by six sets of 40-mm fans (each set of fans consists of
1.
two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was
carefully 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
2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
Plug the power cord from the power supply module into a high-quality power
1.
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recom-
mended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) source.
Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the 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 buttons 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. These are (in order
from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.
Reset
Use the reset switch to reboot the system.
Power
The main power switch 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 the SC818TQ+-1000LP 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.
Overheat/Fan Fail
When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously (on and not
fl ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables ob-
structing 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 overheat condition exists.

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
Green: At the front of each Serial ATA drive carrier is a green LED. When
•
illuminated, this LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA back-
plane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being
accessed. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA
drives.
•
Red: The red LED to indicate an SATA drive failure. If one of the SATA drives
fails, you should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer
to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the 1041M-T2+ 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 the DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives (not necessary for SATA drives). When
disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the system with the operating
system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply modules
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 electrostatic discharge as protection from
•
electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally designed
as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

AS1041M-T2+ User's Manual
Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
•
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure
4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the 1041M-T2+ clean and free of clutter.
•
The 1041M-T2+ weighs approximately 40 lbs (18.2 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.
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.
