Chapter 2 Server Installation 2.1 Overview This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack. Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.
• In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in- stallations, the racks should be coupled together. • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from the rack. •...
Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
2.3 Installing the Rails This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Releasing the Inner Rail To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer and middle rails. Releasing the Inner Rail from the Middle and Outer Rails 1. Lift the auto-lock latch and pull the inner rail until it is fully extended. 2.
Installing The Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the T-studs on the side of the chassis with the slotted holes in the inner rail. 3.
Installing the Outer Rails on the Rack Installing the Outer Rails 1. Confirm that the left and right outer rails have been correctly identified 2. Release the small locking lever on the inside of the middle rail and push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
Installing the System into the Rack After the rails are installed on the chassis and on the rack, the server can be installed in the rack. Be sure to use sufficient personnel to lift it safely. Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1.
Removing the System From the Rack 1. Lift the auto-lock latches and pull the chassis out the front of the rack until it stops. 2. To remove the chassis from the rack completely, press the release latches on each of the inner rails downward simultaneously and continue to pull the chassis out of the rack.
Removing the Outer Rails From the Rack In the uncommon event that it is necessary to remove the outer rails from the rack, follow these instructions. The chassis must be out of the rack. Releasing the Outer Rails 1. On the front of the outer rail, slide the small plastic safety slider (red in drawing) up and hold it while pushing the plastic release button (green in drawing) just below it.
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s). 3.2 Accessing the System The HPE Apollo pc40 server features a removable two-piece top cover, which allows easy access to the inside of the chassis. Removing the Top Cover 1.
3.3 Chassis Hard Drives The HPE Apollo pc40 server has two externally accessible hot-swap 2.5" drive bays and space for two internal fixed 2.5" drives.. The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis.
Internal Drives The system supports one or two 2.5" fixed hard disk drives when using the included mounting bracket. Installing Internal Drives 1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1. 2. Remove the chassis cover as described in Section 3.2. 3.
5. Plug the AC power cord back into the unit and power up the server. Removing/Replacing a Power Supply Note: The HPE Apollo pc40 server is only considered to be N+1 in the 200-240V range; the 100-127V range requires both power supplies to be operating.
If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h. System Specifications System specifications for your HPE Apollo pc40 server can be found in the QuickSpecs document. Refer to www.hpe.com/servers/apollo-pc40...
