Chapter 2 Rack Installation Chapter 2 Rack Installation This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack. Unpacking the System Before mounting in a rack, inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
SUPERSERVER 1028TP-DC1(R/TR/FR) User's Manual 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. • In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature 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 temperature (TMRA).
SUPERSERVER 1028TP-DC1(R/TR/FR) User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. This rail set fits a rack between 25.6" and 33" deep. The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting hardware provided.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Assembling the Outer Rails Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack. Assembling the Outer Rails 1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.
SUPERSERVER 1028TP-DC1(R/TR/FR) User's Manual Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.
Chapter 2 Rack Installation Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1. Align the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails and then push evenly on both sides of the chassis. The spring latch engages when the chassis is part way in.
SUPERSERVER 1028TP-DC1(R/TR/FR) User's Manual Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the server into a Telco (or “open”) type rack, use L-shaped brackets (p/n MCP-290-00012-0N) on either side of the chassis (four total). 1. Determine how far the server will extend out from the front of the rack. The chassis should be positioned so that the weight is balanced between front and back.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview The server includes a control panel on the front that houses power buttons and status monitoring lights. The externally accessible hard drives display status lights. The power supply displays status lights visible from the back of the chassis. Figure 3-1.
SUPERSERVER 1028TP-DC1(R/TR/FR) User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The panel includes two push-buttons, power and UID. Power The main power switch applies or removes primary power from the power supply to the server but maintains standby power. To perform most maintenance tasks, unplug the system to remove all power.
Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual at www.supermicro.com. (Click Support, then the Manuals link.) Responses If the server overheats: 1.
