Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MR

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 5014C-MR system has come to you with the processor and memory prein-

stalled. 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 specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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 SuperServer 5014C-

MR. 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 SuperServer 5014C-MR does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as

the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail

package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. 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.

2-1

S

UPERSERVER 5014C-MR 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 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).

!

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 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 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 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 serv-

ers 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 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 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.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

(Rack hardware optional)

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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.

Basic Installation Procedure

The 5014C-MR server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on

each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw

these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).

Installing with Rackmount Kit

This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).

Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the

chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1).

This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You

should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are

using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may

mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

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

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis Rails

The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do this

by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position

then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack

rail assemblies.

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of

the chassis making sure the three screw holes line up.

are left/right specifi c. 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: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.

The fi 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.

Note that these two rails

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the 5014C-MR in the rack (see Rack and Server

Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed 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 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.

UPERSERVER 5014C-MR User's Manual

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 chas-

sis 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.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Rack: w/ Rackmount Kit

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 5014C-MR into a Telco type rack, follow the di-

rections 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.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5014C-MR 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 5014C-MR (Figure 2-7)

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

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 pro-

cessor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions

on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 5014C-MR 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.

the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drive is located at the front right side of

the chassis.

Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to

the system.

3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives

Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have a Serial ATA

hard drive already installed. If you need to install a Serial ATA hard drive, please

refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by one 10-cm input fan. The system component layout was

carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow 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 airfl ow 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 protec-

tion from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an

uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of

the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c com-

ponents. 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:

 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.

The reset switch reboots the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC512C-260 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.



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

on continuously (on and 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 temperature 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 (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as

the overheat condition exists.

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

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

 HDD: Channel activity for all HDDs. This light indicates CD-ROM drive

activity when fl ashing.
