I. Introduction I. Introduction This Reference Guide You are reading the AP100 Hardware Reference Guide. This hardware ref- erence guide provides information and procedures on the various compo- nents used in this server. Some components shown in this reference guide are optional and may be individually purchased to complete this server.
I. Introduction This Server The AP100 is a startup server configured on the ASUS P2B-S smart mother- board which uses the 440BX chipset from Intel which supports the Pentium II processor and 100MHz front side bus in order to support any complicated task.
• Onboard hardware monitor provides information for system and pro- cessor voltages, fan speed, temperature, chassis intrusion, and provides automatic system restart. • SNMP Agent and Intel LDSM provides server monitoring, management, and control. AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
Before picking it up again, touch the anti- static bag and the metal frame of the system unit at the same time. • Handle the devices carefully in order to prevent permanent damage. AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
UPS or power strip (preferably with surge protection). WARNING: This server is designed for connection to a grounded (earthed) outlet. To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to your server, do not bypass the grounding plug. AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
WARNING: Because servers contain many more components compared to personal computers, servers are much heavier. Stabilization is necessary at all times to prevent damage and injury from falling over. AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
NOTE: The right and top panels do not provide access into the system so therefore this guide will refer to the left panel as “side panel.” AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
Always remove the power cord when working on the server internal components to prevent electrical shocks or damage to electrical components. ATX power supplies that are plugged into an AC outlet always have standby power even when powered Off . AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...

Currently Wide-SCSI devices have termination jumpers but Ultra2 devices do not. Some manufacturers ship SCSI devices with the terminator set, others do not. All termination jumpers must be removed when using the external SCSI terminator. Ultra2 SCSI ribbon cable terminator AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
You must use Ultra2 SCSI ribbon cables for Ultra2 devices. Ultra2 ribbon cables (may be colored red and white) are similar to wide- SCSI ribbon cables (normally colored gray) but each pair of wire is twisted to reduce signal interference. Device and cabling example AP100 Hardware Reference Guide...
