Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6026T-URF
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 6026T-URF 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 6026TURF. 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 6026T-URF 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.
2-1

!
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 any hot plug 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 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 6026T-URF User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC825 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. 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.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two 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.
Installing the Inner Rail Extension
The SC825 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner
rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere
with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail
extension is attached to the inner rail to mount the chassis in the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks 1.
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.
Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other 3.
inner rail extension.

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-1.
ROM, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The hard drives can be
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.
A slim DVD-ROM may be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if 2.
you need to install a DVD-ROM 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 hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by three hot-swappable 8-cm chassis cooling fans. The 1.
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
Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) into a high-quality power 1.
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis. 2.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several 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.
Power Fail
Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will
take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be
replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing the power supply. This LED
should be off when the system is operating normally.
Overheat/Fan Fail:
When this LED fl ashes, it indicates a fan failure. 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.

HDD
On the SuperServer 6026T-URF, this LED indicates hard drive and/or DVD-ROM
drive activity when fl ashing.
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
Each drive carrier has two LEDs:
SATA Drives
Green:• When ill uminated, the green LED on the SATA drive carr ier indic ates
drive ac tivity. A con nectio n to the SATA backpla ne enables t his LED to blin k
on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter
6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.
Red:
• When this LED fl ashes it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid on
it indicates a SATA drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notifi ed by your
system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on
replacing failed drives.
SAS Drives
Green:• When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates the SAS
drive is powered on. If this LED is not lit, it means no power is being provided for
the dri ve. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.
Red:
• When this LED fl ashes it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid on
it indicates a SAS drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notifi ed by your

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6026T-URF 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.
