Getting Started

This chapter describes the server in detail and the environmental conditions for which it is designed.

Make sure you have everything

Unpack the boxes and check the contents against an attached list of accessories and your purchase order.

If any items are missing or damaged, notify your purchasing department immediately.

Before plugging in the AC cable, remove the top and left covers and check for correct seating of all installed components. For information on removing covers, see “Removing and replacing the server panels” on page 19.

Environmental considerations

Both models—pedestal and rack

Install the server on a level surface in a clean, dust-free, and well ventilated environment.

The area must be free from:

Direct sunlight.



Vibration.



Liquids and corrosive chemicals.



Getting Started

Environmental considerations

CAUTION: If you spill liquid into the server, turn it off, unplug it from the AC power source, and let it dry out completely before turning it on again.

If the server does not operate correctly after you turn it back on, contact a authorized Magnia service provider.

Harmonic-generating electronic equipment



Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as large



motors or speaker phones.

Rapid changes in temperature or humidity, and sources of temperature



change such as air conditioner vents, fans, or heaters.

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity. Use the server within the range of rated



ambient conditions:

Temperature: 50° to 95°F (10° to 35°C)

Relative humidity: 30% to 80% RH noncondensing

If the ambient temperature is too high or too low, wait about an hour after the temperature has returned to its operational range before using the server to avoid condensation.

NOTE: Keep the server free from condensation during use and storage.

Pedestal model

Leave enough space around the server and other equipment for installation and maintenance.

Getting Started

Power requirements

Rack model

2 inches (5 cm) or more

14 inches (35 cm) or more

Minimum safe distances

NOTE: Installing a rack model of the Magnia7010 requires special techniques and knowledge. Toshiba recommends that you call an authorized Magnia service provider.

In addition to the pedestal environmental considerations, if you are installing a rack model, keep in mind these additional considerations:

Install the server or rack on a level surface.



8 inches (20 cm) or more

2 inches (5 cm) or more

The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the server



to maintain proper cooling. Keep the vent on the front and rear sides clear about 24 inches (60 cm).

Power requirements

The server is supplied with an AC power cable with a rating of up to 15 amperes. When deciding how to connect the equipment to the power outlet, consider the possible effect of overloading circuits.

The overall rating of a server configured with four power supplies is 800 watts.

To supply reliable grounding of the server, you must use the supplied power cable.

NOTE: Toshiba recommends that you use a UPS for both pedestal and rack models.

Upper door security

The upper door provides access to the operation switches, the 5.25-inch device bays (including the CD-ROM) and the diskette drive. The upper door may be locked with an internal latch. The locked door status is shown by the icon in the window of the upper door.

Removable door hinges

The removable hinges allow the upper and lower doors to be removed.

Upper device bay

The upper device bay may hold up to three devices:

Three 5.25-inch devices (one of which contains the CD-ROM)



CD-ROM drive

This drive can read single-sided compact discs.





MB/720 KB).

The FDD lamp glows while the disk is being accessed.



Pressing the eject button removes the diskette.



Power and reset switches

There are four switches on the front of the server:

NMI

The NMI switch is reserved for use by a authorized Magnia service provider.

The Reset button resets the system. Press to reset the system using a slender object.

Getting Started

Front with doors open

APL

The Shortcut switch is a user-defined switch that enables predefined software.

See the “Server Setup Tool User’s Guide” for instructions on installing software for the Shortcut switch.

The Power On/Off switch turns power on or off.

ON—Press until you hear an audible sound, then release it.

OFF—Press until the sound has changed to continuous one, then release it. If you release the button before the sound has changed to continuous one, the server will not shut down.

TECHNICAL NOTE: In security mode, the power on/off switch and reset switch are disabled, so power cannot be switched off and the system cannot be reset. To use these buttons, enter the user password.

If a floppy disk drive, CD-ROM, or a hard disk drive activity lamp is lit, do not reset the system, or remove the side covers. Data could be lost or destroyed.

The procedures for switching power on and off vary depending on the system.

LCD Display

The LCD display shows the following information.

1 System configuration information

2 User settings

3 Fault information

The screen changes every few seconds automatically to show the next set of information.

1 System configuration information

2 User settings

The CPU type, the CPU’s operating frequency, and the memory capacity are displayed. If there are two 550MHz CPUs and the system memory is 2048MB, the following will be displayed:

PentiumIII Xeon 550MHzX2 2048MB

The system configuration information is updated during POST processing.

CAUTION: If a failure occurs, contact your authorized Magnia service provider.

Lamp indicators for a faulty power supply or cooling fan

If a power supply or cooling fan fails, the Fault indicator flashes. Before contacting your authorized Magnia service provider, check for the faulty part. Look at the LCD and check the location of the malfunction. Check the “LCD Display” on page 9.

CAUTION: If two or more power supplies or cooling fans fail, immediately shut down the system and switch off power. If the system is kept in operation, it could result in destruction and loss of important programs and data.

NOTE: The lamp indicators only show a fault of the power supply or fans.

The HDD cage has separate fault indicators for each of the hard disk drive units.

Additional power supplies may be installed to provide system redundancy. If a power supply in a redundant configuration fails, the system can continue to run

Getting Started

Front with doors open

without shutdown until maintenance personnel arrive, unless the system is already in a downgraded operation or failure mode.

A redundant fan module can be installed so that, if one unit fails, the system can remain in operation.

NOTE: Even if one of the power supplies or cooling fans of a redundant configuration fails, the system will remain running without shutting down (downgraded operation). Toshiba recommends immediate repair.

Note that continued downgraded operation could shorten the service life of various parts of the server depending on the temperature and installation conditions.

Hard disk drive cage

The HDD (hard disk drive) chassis can hold up to six hot-swappable disk drives. If you need more disk drives, you can install an expansion HDD cage.

Hard disk drive

Each hard disk drive has its own DC POWER and STATUS indicator LEDs. The STATUS indicator flashes green while the disk drive is reading or writing data, but glows amber if something goes wrong with the disk drive when using the RAID controller (fault status).

HDD status indicators

A set of status lamps, located next to each drive, indicates its condition.
