Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6015WUR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT 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 system has come to you with the
processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated
with a serverboard, processors, 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 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/
6015W-NT 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 6015W-UR/6015WU/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT. 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. Be sure
to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT 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.

!
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 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015WNTR/6015W-NT into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. 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. 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 in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used when installing to a
telco (open) rack are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the next step.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(right side rail shown)
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Adjust
the outer rail pieces to the proper length so that the rail fi ts the rack. Secure the
outer rail with the screws provided. Repeat these steps for both outer rails.
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 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".

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT into a Telco type rack,
use two short 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. 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 positioning the chassis in the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT in the rack, you
will need to open the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed
and all the connections have been made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out 1.
until it locks (you will hear a "click").
Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover 2.
(1).
Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops 3.
(2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server. See Figure 2-5.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in 4.
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.
Checking the Components
You may have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. 1.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 2.
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.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking 4.
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
and SATA backplane 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 DVD-1.
ROM and fl oppy drives, 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.
A slim DVD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer 2.
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-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 SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.

SUPERSERVER 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT User's Manual
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of 1.
two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was
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.
Providing Power
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1.
power cords from the power supply modules 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 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 three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button, a
UID button and a power on/off button.
UID
Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both the front and
rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gurations. The LED
will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the
rear of the chassis serves the same function.
Reset
Use the reset button to reboot the system.

Power
The main power button is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The co ntrol panel loc ated on the front o f the SC815TQ-R5 60U/SC815TQ- 560U
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
illumina ted and any c orre ctive a ctio n you may nee d to take.
Universal Information LED
When this LED blinks red quickly, it indicates a fan failure and when blinking red
slowly a power failure. The LED will be blue when used for UID (Unit Identifi er).
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.
See the table below for descriptions of the LED states.

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has two LEDs.
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.
• The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive
Red:
is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SATA drive fails, you
should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6015W-UR/6015W-U/6015W-NTR/6015W-NT 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 install-•
ing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and
fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the sys-
tem with the operating system. The unit has more than one power supply cord.
Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
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.
