Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-

WRF4+ 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

pre-installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, pro-

cessors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each

step for details on installing specic components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ was shipped in and

note if it was damaged in any way. If the server 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 the server. 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 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 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 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).

•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 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 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 SAS 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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.).

2-4

SUPERSERVER 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the server 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 xed chassis rail that secures directly

to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack

itself (see Figure 2-1).

Note: The rails will t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Inner Rails and Inner Rail Extensions

Extensions

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Inner Rails

The SC119 chassis inner rails are composed of two sections: inner rails and inner

rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use

of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension

to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks

of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces

"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.

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

3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated.

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

Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Attach the shorter outer rail to the outside of the longer outer rail. You must

align the pins with the slides. Both bracket ends must face the same direction.

2. Adjust the outer rails so that they t snugly within the rack.

3. Secure the longer outer rail to the front of the rackl with two screws

4. Secire the shorter outer rail to the rear rack with three screws.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.

Locking Tabs

Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The 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

Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-4)

1. Conrm that the chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions, and

conrm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

2. Align the inner rails on the chassis with the front of the outer rails on the rack.

3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both

sides (it may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When

the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the

locking tabs click into the locked position.

4. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the chas-

sis to the rack.

SUPERSERVER 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ User's Manual

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the chassis 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 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.

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive

carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well

as the activity and health of specic components. There are also three 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: UID button, a reset

button and a power on/off button.

UID

Depressing the UID (unit identier) button illuminates an LED on both the front and

rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack con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

The reset button is used 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 SC119TQ chassis has 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.

Information LED

This LED will be blue when the UID function has been activated. When this LED

ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an overheat

condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airow in the system or

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

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

and the SuperServer 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ 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 oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should rst power down the

system with the operating system rst and then unplug the power cords of all

the power supply units 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 static electrical discharge as protection

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

designed as electrical insulators.

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

plugged into grounded electrical outlets. The unit has more than one power

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

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

•The 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ weighs approximately 46 lbs. (20.9 kg.).

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.

supply cord. Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing to avoid

electrical shock

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

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).

This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom-

mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). 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.

•Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coefcient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service

technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one

replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-3 ESD Precautions

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 com ponents 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:

•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.

•Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the 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.

!

•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 after ensuring that all connections have been made.
