Chapter 2

System Safety

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.

Following the steps in order given should enable you to have your chassis setup and

operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick set up assumes that you are

an experienced technician, familiar with common concepts and terminology.

2-2 Warnings and Precautions

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged

in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, le a damage claim with carrier

who delivered your system.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold that chassis. It should

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated.

You will also need it placed near at least one grounded power outlet. When con-

gured, the SC216 chassis includes both a primary and redundant power supply,

which requires two grounded outlets.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The SC216 Chassis includes a set of rail assemblies, including mounting brackets

and mounting screws you will need to install the systems into the rack. Please read

this manual in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.

SC216 Chassis Manual

2-2

2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SC216 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 oppy drives (not necessary for hot swappable drives).

When disconnecting power, you should 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 fa-•

miliar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power, if

necessary.

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 specically designed

as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be •

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard •

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities 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.

2-3

Chapter 2: System Safety

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.

2-5 General Safety Precautions

Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.•

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.

2-6 System Safety

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical

charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to

neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufcient to neutralize this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from •

electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically designed

as electrical insulators.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags •

until ready for use.

SC216 Chassis Manual

2-4

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic •

bag.

Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may •

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, •

memory modules or contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.•

Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not •

in use.

For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent •

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

Chapter 6

Rack Installation

6-1 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.

6-2 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 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 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.

6-3 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 •

sufcient airow and ease in servicing.

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated •

equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

SC216 Chassis Manual

6-2

6-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •

the 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 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.

Warning!

!

!

6-3

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

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

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

6-5 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Airow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of air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.).

SC216 Chassis Manual

6-4

6-6 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 t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies 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 speci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

C-7 Front JumperLocationsandPinDenitions

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the backplane,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts

between two pins to change the function

of the connector. Pin 1 is identied with

a square solder pad on the printed circuit

board. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open" means

the jumper is off the pins.

D-1 Overview of the SAS-216EL1/EL2 Backplanes

The SAS-216EL1/EL2 series of backplanes consists of a SAS-216EB backplane

(A) with one or two SAS-216EL daughter cards (B and C) mounted on the rear of

the backplane.

The SAS-216EL1 model consists of the SAS-216EB backplane (A) and one SAS-

216EL daughter card (C), mounted on the right-hand side of the backplane.

The SAS-216EL2 model consists of the SAS-216EB backplane (A), and two

SAS216EL daughter cards (B and C), mounted on the rear of the backplane.

Components on the front side of the SAS-216ELB backplane include 24 SAS con-

nectors and their respecitve activity and failure LEDs. Components on the rear side

of the backplane include jumpers and power and fan connectors. The daughter

card's components include SAS ports, ash and expander chips, and mode select

jumpers.

Safety Guidelines

To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety
steps listed below when accessing your system or handling the compo­nents.

D-1 ESD Safety Guidelines

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent dam-

age to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures

are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from ESD.

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.•

Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic •

bag.

Handle the backplane and daughter cards by their edges only; do not touch its •

components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.•

Put the card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.•

D-2 General Safety Guidelines

Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components •

from the computer, including the backplane.

Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the •

backplane.

Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the mother-•

board to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

D-3 An Important Note to Users

All images and layouts shown in this user's guide are based upon the latest PCB •

revision available at the time of publishing. The card you have received may or

may not look exactly the same as the graphics shown in this manual.

2. Expander Chips

This Expander Chip allows the backplane

to support dual ports, cascading, and

failover.

1. Primary Flash Chips

The Primary Flash Chip enhances the back-

plane memory.

3. - 5. SAS Ports

The primary and secondary sets of SAS

ports provide expander features including

cascading and failover From right to left

the ports are Primary 1/2/3 and Second-

ary 1/2/3.

6. EPP Ports

The EPP ports are used for manufacturer

diagnostic purposes only.

D-6 Rear JumperLocationsandPinDenitions

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the backplane,

jumpers can be used to choose between

optional settings. Jumpers create shorts

between two pins to change the function

of the connector. Pin 1 is identied with

a square solder pad on the printed circuit

board. Note: On two pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open" means

the jumper is off the pins.

Appendix D: SAS-216EL Backplane Specications

Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several

backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.

The rst backplane in a cascaded system requires a motherboard and HBA. Other

servers require a power control card with no motherboard and no HBA. For more

information, see the SC216 Chassis Manual available at www.supermicro.com.
