Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6017R-TDF
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 6017R-TDF system has come to you with the processor and memory pre­installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, 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 6017R-TDF 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 6017R­TDF. 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 6017R-TDF 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 6017R-TDF 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) 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.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual

2-4 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the SC813TS-441CBP chassis into
a rack unit. 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.

Note: This rail will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner rail that secures directly to the
chassis, and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

Inner Rail Extension

The SC813TS-441CBP chassis includes a set of inner rails which are in two
sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and
do not interfere with normal use of the cha`sis if you decide not to use a server rack.
Attach the inner rail extension to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the inner rail extension holes. Make sure the inner rail
extension faces "outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.

2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Attach the longer section of the outer rail to the outside of the shorter section
of the outer rail. You must align the pins with the slides. Both ends of the
outer rail must face the same direction in order to be secured to the rack.

2. Adjust both sections of the outer rail to the proper length so that the rail fi ts
snugly within the rack.

3. Secure the longer section of the outer rail to the of the rack with two M5
screws and the shorter section to the rear side of the rack with two M5
screws.

4. Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis into a Telco rack

To install the chassis 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.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6017R-TDF 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 CD/DVD 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.

• This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure

that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).

• 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 recom­mended 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 uncon­ventional 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. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the 6017R-TDF clean and free of clutter.

• The barebone 6017R-TDF weighs approximately 22 lbs (~10 kg). 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.
