Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-

N3RFT+ 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

pre-installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, pro-

cessors, 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 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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 6017R-

N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+. 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 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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.

• Allow the hot plug SAS/SATA drives and power supply modules 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.

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.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+

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 on the front side of

the outer rails are also included.

Installing the Inner Rails

Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Pro-

ceed to the next step.

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

(left side rail shown)

Inner Rail Outer RailLocking Tab

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Measure the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack.

2. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long

bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.

3. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail

can fi t snugly into the rack.

4. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws

and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M4 screws.

5. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

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.

2-5

SUPERSERVER 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ User's Manual

Installing the Server into the Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-3)

1. Confi rm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions . Also, confi rm

that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.

3. 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). When the

server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking

tabs "click".

4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the

server to the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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 chas-

sis, 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.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC819TQ 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.

Information LED

This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this

LED fl ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red 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.

Power

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED

should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

 Green: Each drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green

LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this

LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer

to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

 Red: The red LED to indicate a SATA drive failure. If one of the drives fail, you

should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter

6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SuperServer 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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 neces-

sary.

• 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. The unit has more than one power

supply cord. Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing to avoid

electrical shock

• Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).

This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom-

mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to

the manufacturer's instructions.

• DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a

DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous

radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon-

ventional way.

• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service

technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one

replaced (CR2032). Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the system clean and free of clutter.

• The 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ weighs approximately 38.5 lbs. (17.5 kg.)

when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift

slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back

straight and lift with your legs.

• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be

stepped on.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or

be pulled into a cooling fan.

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

!

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact

with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

• After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure

it to the rack unit after ensuring that all connections have been made.

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical

charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to

neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags

until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not

in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and

the serverboard.
