Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your A+ SERVER 1022G-URF
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 A+ SERVER 1022G-URF 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 1022G-URF. 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 A+ SERVER 1022G-URF 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.

Warnings and Precautions!

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
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.

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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

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
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.).

A+ SERVER 1022G-URF User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 1022G-URF 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.

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.

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 for details.

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

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the 1022G-URF into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on
either 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.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 1022G-URF 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, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out 1.
until it locks (you will hear a "click").

Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover 2.
(1).

Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops 3.
(2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server. See Figure 2-5.

To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in 4.
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

You may have one or two 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 add-on cards 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 4.
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives and SATA
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. The SATA disk drives 1.
can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing
the top chassis cover.

A slim DVD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. For servicing 2.
the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. Refer to
Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM 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.

A+ SERVER 1022G-URF User's Manual

Checking the Airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by four sets of 4-cm 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

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1.
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).2.

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 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 three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button, a
UID button and a power on/off button.

UID

Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both the front and
rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gurations. 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

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 the SC815TS-RR700UB chassis has fi ve
LEDs. The se LEDs pr ovide you wi th crit ical in format ion relate d to dif ferent par ts
of the system . This section ex plains what each LED i ndicates when il luminated
and any co rrec tive ac tion yo u may need to t ake.

Universal Information LED

When this LED blinks red quickly, it indicates a fan failure and when blinking red
slowly a power failure. The LED will be blue when used for UID (Unit Identifi er).
When on 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.
See the table below for descriptions of the LED states.
