Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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 SuperServer 5026T-3F/5026T-T system has come to you
with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully
integrated with a motherboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to
the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specifi c compo-
nents.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5026T -3F/5026T-T 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 5026T3F/5026T-T. 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 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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.
2-1
SUPERSERVER 5026T-3F/5026T-T Manual
!
!
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).
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.
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.
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.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
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.
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 5026T-3F/5026T-T Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5026T-3F/5026T-T
into a rack unit. If the 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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 5026T3F/5026T-T into a rack with the rack rails provided. 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 5026T3F/5026T-T. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fi xed
chassis rail that secures to the 5026T-3F/5026T-T (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail
that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between
the two should remain attached to the fi xed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B
rails must be detached from each other to install.
To remove the fi xed 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
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position one of the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5026T-3F/5026T-T. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Slide the rail
toward the front of the chassis (see arrows in Figure 2-2) until you hear them click
into place with the retention hooks on the chassis. The screw holes should now be
aligned - 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 installng into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, 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.
Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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 both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
2-5
SUPERSERVER 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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 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

locks (you will hear a "click").
Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.3.
There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front of the top cover to 4.
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. See
Figure 2-5.
Checking the Components and Setup
You should have one processor already installed into the motherboard. The 1.
processor needs a heatsink installed. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
Your 5026T-3F/5026T-T server system may have come with system memory 2.
already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For
details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for 3.
details on installing PCI add-on cards.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA
drives and backplanes have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
Checking the Drives
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-1.
ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The
SAS/SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the
chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
A slim CD-ROM and a fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. 2.
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive
to the system.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or 3.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SAS/SATA drives, please
refer to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four 8-cm fans. The system component layout was 1.
carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that
generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
Supplying Power to the System
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1.
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).2.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/SATA
drive carriers and the motherboard 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.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-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
Use the reset button to reboot the system.
Power
This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system
power. T urning 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 SC822TQ-400LPB 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 indic ates a fan failur e. When on conti nuously (on and
not fl as hing) it indicates an over heat condi tion, whic h may be caused by ca bles
obstr uctin g the air fl ow in the system or t he ambient r oom temp erature be ing too
warm. Che ck the routing of the cabl es and make sure all fans are present and
operat ing norm ally. You should al so chec k to make sure that t he chassi s covers
are insta lled. Fin ally, verif y that t he heats inks are in stall ed pro per ly (see Chapter
5). This LED wi ll rema in fl ashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
SAS Drives (5026T-3F)
Green:
• When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive carrier
indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink
on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Red:
• The SES2 compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a drive
failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notifi ed by your system
management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing
failed SAS drives.
SATA Drives (5026T-T)
Green:
• When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive carrier
indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED
to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Red:
• The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive is
rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SA T A drive fails, you should
be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5026T-3F/5026T-T 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 fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
system with the operating system fi 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 necessary.
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 specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
•
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
