Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5015M-MT/
5015M-MT+ 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 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ 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 specifi c components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ 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
5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ . 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 SuperServer 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, six 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.
2-1
SUPERSERVER 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ 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).
- This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according
to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
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 SATA drives 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.

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.).

SUPERSERVER 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5015M-MT/5015MMT+ into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server 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 may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 5015M-MT/5015MMT+. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis.) This
hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each
side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails are
left/right specifi c.
Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of
the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes
on the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach the
rail to the chassis with M4 fl at head screws. Repeat these steps to install the left
rear inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). 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.

Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ in
the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis
rail guides 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.

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 2-2.
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.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ into a Telco type rack, use 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.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ 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 system (Figure 2-4)
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"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release
the top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front of the top
cover to help you push 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 the 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
Y our 5015M-MT/5015M-MT+ 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 airfl ow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check the air
seals for damage. The air seals are located under the chassis fans and beneath
the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area from the motherboard
area of the chassis.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SA TA drives and
SATA 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 CDROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SATA disk drives
can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the
top chassis cover.
2. Installing a CD-ROM drive
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM drive to the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or more
SATA drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to
the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by sets of 40-mm fans (normal fans on the 5015M-MT+ and
counter-rotating fans on the 5015M-MT). 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 fans.
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). Finish by pressing the power button
on the front of the chassis.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SATA 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 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 two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are a reset
button and a power on/off button.
RESET:
POWER: This is the main power button, 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 button reboots the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC813MFT-300C 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 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 indicated condition exists.
