    Server Installation 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1021M-UR+ 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.
  • Page 18: Choosing A Setup Location

    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.
  • Page 19: Rack Mounting Considerations

    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).
  • Page 20: Installing The System Into A Rack

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 1021M-UR+ 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.
  • Page 21: Installing The Outer Rails

    Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. 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.
  • Page 22: Installing The Server Into The Rack

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual 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 chas- sis rails with the front of the rack rails.
  • Page 23: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack

    Installing the Server into a Telco Rack Telco racks utilize two posts instead of four. Because of this, telco racks require a different installation process 1.

  • Page 27: Chapter 3: System Interface

    System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/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 but- tons on the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply.
  • Page 28: Control Panel Leds

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of th SC815TQ-R650U 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.

  • Page 31: Chapter 4: System Safety

    Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the system 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.
  • Page 32: General Safety Precautions

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
  • Page 33: Esd Precautions

    After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.
  • Page 34: Operating Precautions

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1021M-UR+ is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 1021M-UR+ system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.

    AS1021M-UR+ User's Manual Processor and Heatsink Installation Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces- sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be- fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components. CPU Backplates Two CPU backplates (BKT-0011L) have been preinstalled to the serverboard to prevent the CPU area of the serverboard from bending and to provide a base for attaching the heatsink retention modules.
  • Page 37 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket.
  • Page 38 See Figure 2-1. Repeat for the second CPU socket. Note: BKT-0012L is included for use with non-Supermicro heatsinks only. When installing Supermicro heatsinks, only BKT-0011L (the pre-installed CPU backplate) is needed. The BKT-0012L retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
