SC510-200B chassis includes one power supply. Preparing for Setup The SC510-200B Chassis bolts directly to a rack and includes the mounting screws you will need to install the systems into the rack. Please read this manual in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
SC510-200B 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.
Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter. • 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.

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.
Up to 4 fixed 2.5" hard drives. • One FH PCI add-on card For the latest shipping lists, visit our Web site at: http://www.supermicro.com. This chassis accepts two system cooling fans and one power supply. models come in black. Fans SC510-200B chassis accepts two system fans.

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte- nance on the chassis. The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Phillips screwdriver. Print this page to use as a reference while setting up your chassis.
Removing the Chassis Cover Figure 4-1: Removing the Chassis Cover Remove the five screws that hold the chassis cover in place.There are two screws on each side of the chassis, and one screw on the back. Once the screws have been removed, lift the cover upward to remove it from the chassis.
Installing the Hard Drives Figure 4-2A: Installing the 3.5" Hard Drive Figure 4-2B: Installing the 2.5" Hard Drives Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance The 3.5" hard drive screws directly into the chassis The 2.5" hard drives (1) must be installed in their...
Permanent and Optional Standoffs Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and the chassis surface. The SC510-200B chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws included in the SC510-200B accessories packaging.
As required by your motherboard, install standoffs in any areas that do not have a permanent standoff. To do this: A. Place a hexagonal standoff screw through the bottom the chassis. B. Secure the screw with the hexagon nut (rounded side up).
SC510 Chassis Manual Add-on Card/Expansion Slot Setup SC510 chassis includes an I/O slot for the optional add-on card. A full-height, half- length PCI add-on card is supported. A riser card is required in order to adapt the add-on card to the 1U chassis. For further information on add-on cards and risers cards, refer to the Supermicro website at www.supermicro.com...

Replace the add-on card clip and screw it onto the chassis to hold the add-on card in place. Figure 4-4C: Replace the Add-on Card Clip Note that if the length of the add-on card is less than 125mm, the user may choose to install both the add-on card and a 3.5"...
SC510 Chassis Manual Replacing the Heatsink The SC510-200B Chassis includes a heatsink, which conducts heat away from the motherboard. Unplug all power leading to the chassis. Remove the motherboard following the directions in section 4-4. Remove the 4 mounting screws which attach the heatsink to the motherboard and set them aside for later use.
Installing the Air Shroud Figure 4-6: Air Shroud for SC510-200B Chassis Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC510-200B chassis air shroud does not require screws to set up. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits behind the fan closest to the power supply.
In most cases, the chassis power supply and fan are pre-installed. If you need to install fans, continue to the Systems Fan section of this chapter. If the chassis will be installed into a rack, continue to the next chapter for rack installation instructions.
Replacing System Fans Two heavy duty fans within a single fan housing provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan has failed.

Figure 4-9: Removing Fans from Fan Housing Slide the replacement fan upwards through the bottom of the fan housing. Reconnect the fan wiring and replace the fan housing in the chassis using the mounting screws previously set aside. 4-12...
Power Supply The SC510-200B Chassis has a 200 watt power supply. This power supply is auto- switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. The SC510-200B chassis has one power supply. In the unlikely event that the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to change the power supply unit.
Page 30
Remove the power supply from the chassis. Align the mounting thru holes on the power supply with the mounting holes in the chassis and reattach the power supply to the chassis using the four screws which were previously set aside Connect the chassis wiring to the power supply.
Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in, and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
SC510 Chassis Manual • This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and similar environments). Warnings and Precautions! Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
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).
SC510 Chassis Manual Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the SC510 chassis into a rack unit There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
