Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5013C-M
up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup
assumes that your 5013C-M system has come to you with the processor and
memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a moth­erboard, processor, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 5013C-M

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013C-M was shipped in and note
if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you should file
a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
5013C-M. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields 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 SuperServer 5013C-M 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 minimal amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's Manual

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 sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

Rack Precautions

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully ex­tended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

- In a 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.

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

first, 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drive to cool

before touching 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 Airflow

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

2-4 Installing the 5013C-M into a Rack

(Rack hardware optional)

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5013C-M into a
rack unit. 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. The following is a
guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the
system. 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 with the SuperServer
5013C-M. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures
directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two
should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails
must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you
should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail
assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the
inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail
assemblies.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note that these two
rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the
chassis (see Figure 2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the
other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets
when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab,
which serves two functions. The first 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.

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5013C-M in the rack (see
Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fixed rack rail/sliding
rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail
guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

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.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should
hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the
thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the
rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides
facing inward.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 5013C-M into a Telco type rack, follow the
directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference
in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the
rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accomodate the width of the
telco rack.

After you install the 5013C-M in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make
sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.

1. Accessing the inside of the 5013C-M (Figure 2-5)

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the
two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will
hear a "click"). Then, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the
chassis top cover (see Figure 2-5 for location). Next, depress the two buttons
on the top of the chassis to release the top cover while pushing the cover away
from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain
full access to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPU (processor)

You may have one processor already installed into the system board. The
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instruc­tions on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 5013C-M server system may have come with system memory already
installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on
adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

4. Installing add-on cards

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airflow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under
the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the
drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis.

Note: Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

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

1. Accessing the drive bays

All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing
the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The Serial ATA disk drive can be installed and removed from the front
of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives

Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

3. Check the IDE disk drives

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have an IDE
hard drive already installed. If you need to install an IDE hard drive, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by one 10-cm input fan. The system component layout was
carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through the small 1U
rackmount space. Also note that all power and data cables have been routed
in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fan.

5. Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug
the power cord from the power supply unit 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).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel and one on the Serial ATA drive
carrier to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well
as the activity and health of specific 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-button 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.

 RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.

 POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or

turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button
removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
