Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture 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 tempera- ture (Tmra).
UPER ERVER 6027R-CDNRT+ User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SC826 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive carri- ers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components.
UPER ERVER 6027R-CDNRT+ User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.
Chapter 3: System Interface NIC2 Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when flashing. On the 6027R-CDNRT+, this LED indicates hard 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. Drive Carrier LEDs The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA/NVMe drives.
UPER ERVER 6027R-CDNRT+ User's Manual NVMe The NVM Express ports provide high-speed, low-latency connections directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State drives (SSDs). This greatly increases SSD throughput and significantly reduces storage device latency by simplifying driver and software requirements resulting from the direct PCI-E interface between the CPU and the NVMe SSD drives.
Only certified technicians should attempt to install or configure components. Read this appendix in its entirety before installing or configuring components in the Supermicro chassis.
