The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termination. A RAID
controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use
must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the hard drives. The backplane is
already preconfigured, so no jumper or switch configurations are required.
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bays. The
SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 system accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives. Side
mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the server.
1.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear
a "click").
2. Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the
same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from
the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
Note: You must power down the system before installing or removing IDE components.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays.
The SGI Rackable C2108-TY10 system has a 720 watt redundant power supply consisting of two
power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to
automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.
