System Setup
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5038D-i up
and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimal amount of time. 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 5038D-i 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 setting up and operating the SuperServer 5038D-i.
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.
2-3 Warnings and Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• 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 Serial ATA drives to cool before touching
them.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed when not
being serviced.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC731I-300B chassis has four 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.
HDD
This LED indicates IDE channel activity, SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity
when fl ashing.
3-1
SUPERSERVER 5038D-i User's Manual
NIC
Indicates network activity on the Gigabit LAN port when fl ashing.
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 ob-
structing 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.
Power On
A blue LED located behind the main power button is illuminated when the system
is powered on and running.
