Chapter 2: System Safety

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, famailiar 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, fi 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 venilated. Avoid areas where heat,

electrical noise and eletromagnetic fi elds are generated.

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

ured, the SC512F chassis includes one power supply.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The SC512F 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.

2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions

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

and the SC512F from damage:

l 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 electri-

2-2-1

SC512F Chassis Manual

2-2-2

cal outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove

power from the system.

l Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

l Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or

installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory mod-

ules and the DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives (not necessary for hot swappable

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.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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.

l The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

l 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.

l DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a

DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazard-

ous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any

unconventional way.

2-5 General Safety Precautions

l Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter.

2-2-3

Chapter 2: System Safety

l Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been

removed away from the system or on a table so that they won’t accidentally

be stepped on.

l 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.

l 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.

l 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 suffi cient to neutralize this

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

l 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.

l Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

l Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic

bags until ready for use.

l To uch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-

static bag.

l 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.

l Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or contacts.

l When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

SC512F Chassis Manual

l Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when

not in use.

l For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excel-

lent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasten-

ers and the serverboard.

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the 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. Most SC512F models are two buttons

on the chassis a control panel: a reset button and an on/off switch. This chapter

explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may

need to take.

Figure 4-1: Chassis LED and Buttons

Chassis Manual

4-2

4-2 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.

l Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system.

l Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from

the power supply to the server system. Tu rning off system power with this but-

ton removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Therefore, you must unplug system before servicing.

4-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC512F 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.

l Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When

continuously on (not fl ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be

caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in the system or the ambient room tem-

perature 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.

This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

l NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when fl ashing.

l NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when fl ashing.

l HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA drive, SCSI drive, and/or

DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.

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

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

Figure 5-14: Air Shroud for SC512F Chassis

To install the air shroud

1. Confi rm that the air shroud matches your chassis model.

2. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The shroud sets directly behind the system

fans. If necessary, remove some perforated tabs to ensure a snug fi t.

Perforated Ta bs

The air shroud helps cool the chassis by directing heated air through the rear of

the chassis. When installing the air fan, be aware of the following:

• The air shroud is designed to fi t within the chassis. The sides of the air shroud

should remain straight in relation to the top. Do not fold or bend the air

shroud.

• The air shroud has perforated tabs that can be removed if motherboard com-

ponents prevent are in the way of the shroud. Do not remove a tab unless it is

necessary.

To check the server air fl ow

1. Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airfl ow in and out of the server.

2. Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Use

only recommended server parts.

3. Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct air fl ow through the chassis. Pull

all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path or use shorter cables.

The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See “Chapter 3: System

Interface” for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.

Installation Complete

In most cases, the chassis power supply and fans are pre-installed. If you need to

install fans continue to the Systems Fan section of this chapter. If the chassis will be

installed into a rack, continue to the next chapter for rack installation instructions.

5-11

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

Three heavy duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air

through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature.

The SC512F-280 chassis accepts two fans instead of three.

5-8 System Fans

Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance

Depending on your chassis model the SC512F Chassis has a 280 or 520 watt power

supply. This power supply is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically

sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated

on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that

the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Failure

The SC512F series chassis have one power supply. In the unlikely event that the

power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace it.

Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information

in the Preface) or an authorized reseller.

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 minimum amount of time.

6-2 Unpacking the System

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 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 your chassis. 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.

6-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis 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. 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

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).

6-1

Chassis Manual

6-2

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

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

General Server Precautions

- Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the compo-

nents 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 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 hard 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).

Warnings and Precautions!

!

!

6-3

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

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.).

Chassis Manual

6-4 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the SC512F chassis into a rack

unit with the rails provided. 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.

NOTE: This rail will fi t a rack between 28.5" and 33.25" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails (Optional Item)

The chassis package includes 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.

The SC512F comes with "chassis ears" that allow the chassis to use generic

rails.
