Note: It is required to shut down the system, as well as disconnect the power supply during CMOS clearing. Hold for 5 seconds after short-circuiting Pin2-3, and then short-circuit Pin1 and Pin2 (the default status) of CLR_CMOS jumper with a jumper cap, to restore to its original status.
4 Operations 4.1 Power up the Server Insert the power cord plug, then press the Power Button. 4.2 Power down the Server WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel Power Button does not completely shut off system power.
Operations 4.4 Remove the Access Panel WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them. CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, air baffle, or fan installed.
Leave a minimum clearance of 121.9 cm (48 in) from the back of the rack to the back of another rack or row of racks. Inspur Servers draw in cool air through the front door and expel warm air through the rear door. Therefore, the front and rear rack doors must be adequately ventilated to allow ambient room air to enter the cabinet, and the rear door must be adequately ventilated to allow the warm air to escape from the cabinet.
Page 23
Setup 5,350 sq cm (830 sq in) of holes evenly distributed from top to bottom to permit adequate airflow (equivalent to the required 64 percent open area for ventilation). • Side—The clearance between the installed rack component and the side panels of the rack must be a minimum of 7 cm (2.75 in).
Because of the high ground-leakage currents associated with multiple servers connected to the same power source, Inspur recommends the use of a PDU that is either permanently wired to the building’s branch circuit or includes a nondetachable cord that is wired to an industrial-style plug.
Setup • The leveling jacks are extended to the floor. • The full weight of the rack rests on the leveling jacks. • The stabilizing feet are attached to the rack if it is a single-rack installation. • The racks are coupled together in multiple-rack installations. •...
Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the cord extends from the server. 5.6 Installing the Operating System To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest information on supported operating systems, refer to the Inspur website ((http:// www.inspur.com/eportal/ui?pageId=444443).
Page 27
Method to install an operating system on the server: Insert the operating system CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot the server. This process may require you to obtain additional drivers from the Inspur website (http://www.inspur.com/eportal/ui?pageId=2317460). For the installation path mentioned above, please refer to the User Manual in the built-in TF...
