Chapter 2: Server Installation

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your system 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 system 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 server. 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 box the server 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) 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).

2-1

SUPERSERVER 1027GR-TRF/1027GR-TRFT User's Manual

• 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.

2-4 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.

• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.

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 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.

2-2

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.).

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially fi lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

SUPERSERVER 1027GR-TRF/1027GR-TRFT User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC118GQ 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. 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 26" and 33.5" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

The SC118GQ chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails
(A) and inner rail extensions (B). The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere
with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install to a server rack. Attaching
the inner rail extensions to to the inner rails stabilizes the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

1. Place the inner rail extensions (B) over the preattached inner rails (A) which
are attached to the side of the chassis. Align the hooks of the inner rail with
the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the
inner rail.

2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the chassis with screws as illustrated.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Optional brackets are needed to install the server to a telco (open type) rack.
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the 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.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

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. 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: a reset button and
a power on/off button.

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 two control panels are located on the front of the SC118GQ chassis. Each
control panel has six LEDs. These LEDs provide critical information related to dif­ferent parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when
illuminated and any action that may be required..

Overheat/Fan Fail/UID LED

When this LED fl ashes it in dic ate s a fan f ailu re. W hen c ont inu ous ly on (not fl ash-
ing) 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 rout ing of the cab les and make sure that a ll fans are pres ent and operati ng
norma lly. Also ch eck to make sur e that the a ir shrou ds are inst alled a nd that th e
top cover i s on. Finally, verif y that t he heatsi nks are inst alled pr operl y. This LED
will remain fl ashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists. When used with
a UID-compatible motherboard, the UID function is used to turn on or off the blue
light function of the the LED. Once the blue light is activated through the system
software, the unit can be easily located in very large racks and server banks.
