Following the steps in order given should enable you to have your chassis set up and operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that you are an experienced technician, famailiar with common concepts and terminology.
SC510 Chassis Manual Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SC510 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.
Chapter 2: System Safety radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon- ventional way. General Safety Precautions • 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.

SC510 Chassis Manual • Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap. • Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
Chapter 3: Chassis Components Chapter 3 Chassis Components Overview This chapter describes the most common components included with your chassis. Some components listed may not be included or compatible with your particular chassis model. For more information, see the installation instructions detailed later in this manual.
SC510 Chassis Manual This chassis supports two system cooling fans in the SC510(L) models and three system cooling fans in the SC510T. All models have one power supply and come in black. Fans The SC510 chassis features two (three for SC510T) system fans. System fans for the SC510 chassis are powered from the serverboard.
Chapter 4: System Interface Chapter 4 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers that provide system and component status. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indi- cators and the appropriate responses that need to be taken. Figure 4-1.
SC510 Chassis Manual Control Panel Buttons The SC510 chassis includes two or three push-buttons located on the front panel: a reset button and a power on/off button • Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system. • Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system.
Page 19
Chapter 4: System Interface • NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. • NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. • HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing. • Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
SC510 Chassis Manual Drive Carrier LEDs Your chassis uses SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. • Green: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A con- nection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Chapter 4: System Interface Power Supply LEDs and Overheat Indicators • Solid Green: When illuminated, the green LED indicates that the power supply is on. • Solid Amber: When illuminated, the amber LED indicates the power supply is plugged in and turned off, or the system is off but in an abnormal state. •...
SC510 Chassis Manual Overheating The section lists actions that should be taken in the unlikely event the server overheats. Overheat Temperature Setting Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by changing a jumper setting. For more information, download the backplane user manual at www.supermicro.com.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Chapter 5 Chassis Setup and Maintenance Overview 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.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Hard Drives The 3.5" hard drive screws directly into the chassis Figure 5-2: Installing the 3.5" Hard Drive The 2.5" hard drives (1) must be installed in their brackets (2) before they are screwed into the chassis Figure 5-3: Installing the 2.5"...
SC510 Chassis Manual Installing the Motherboard Figure 5-4: Chassis Standoffs Permanent and Optional Standoffs Standoffs prevent short circuits by securing space between the motherboard and the chassis surface. The SC510 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws included in the SC510 accessories packaging.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Motherboard 1. Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar with component placement, requirements, precautions, and cable connec- tions. 2. Open the chassis cover. 3. Compare the mounting holes in the chassis to those in the motherboard. Add or remove standoffs as needed.
Page 29
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance 5. Insert the assembled expansion card and riser card into the expansion slot inside the chassis, carefully aligning the plate of the expansion card with the openings in the back of the chassis. 6. Replace the expansion card clip and screw it onto the chassis to hold the expansion card in place.
SC510 Chassis Manual Replacing the Heatsink The SC510 chassis includes a heatsink, which conducts heat away from the moth- erboard. 1. Unplug all power leading to the chassis. 2. Disconnect the wiring to the motherboard. 3. Remove the screws securing the motherboard to the chassis and lift it up and out of the chassis.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Air Shroud Figure 5-9: Air Shroud for SC510 Chassis Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC510 chassis air shroud does not require screws to set it up. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits behind the fan closest to the power supply.
SC510 Chassis Manual Checking the Server's Air Flow 1. Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server. 2. Use only recommended server parts. 3. Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct air flow through the chassis. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path, or use shorter cables.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance System Fans System Fans for the SC510-200B/203B and SC510L-200B 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.
Page 34
SC510 Chassis Manual Figure 5-11: Removing Fan Housing from Chassis 6. To remove the fans from the fan housing, gently push upwards on the fan from the underside of the fan housing. Gently ease the fan out of the top of the fan housing Figure 5-12: Removing Fans from Fan Housing 7.
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Fans Exchange Positions for Optimal Cooling Figure 5-13: SC510(T)-203B Only, Moving Fans for Optimal Cooling The SC510(T)-203B Model System Fans The SC510(T)-203B supports up to three system fans to provide optimal cooling for different motherboard designs. Users may move either of the two fans which are included with the SC510(T)-203B to the location where cooling is most beneficial to the system.
SC510 Chassis Manual Power Supply The SC510 chassis comes equipped with 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 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 37
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance 3. Remove the four screws which hold the power supply in the chassis. The two front mounting screws are located on the front of the power supply. The two rear mounting screws are accessed on the underside of the chassis and extend upwards through the mounting thru holes, to hold the power supply in place.
Chapter 6: Rack Installation Chapter 6 Rack Installation Overview This chapter provides instructions for installing the chassis into a rack. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system installed in a minimal amount of time.
