    Chapter 2 Rack Installation Precautions • Review the electrical and general safety precautions in the appendix, "Standardized Safety Warnings" in this manual. • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. • Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your way up.
  • Page 12: Reliable Ground

    Supermicro SCLA26 Chassis User's Manual Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
  • Page 13: Installing The Rails

    Chapter 2 Rack Installation 2.2 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.
  • Page 14: Releasing The Inner Rail

    Supermicro SCLA26 Chassis User's Manual Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails.
  • Page 15: Installing The Inner Rails

    Chapter 2 Rack Installation Installing the Inner Rails Begin the rack mounting procedure by installing the inner rails to the chassis. 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.

  • Page 25: System Fans

    Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation System Fans Three hot-swap fans provide cooling. They can be replaced without powering down the system. Fan speed is controlled by a system temperature setting in IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. The system can continue to run with a failed fan. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model.
  • Page 26: Power Supply

    Power Supply The chassis features redundant power supplies. The power modules can be changed without powering down the system. New units can be ordered directly from Supermicro or authorized distributors. These power supplies are auto-switching capable. This feature enables them to automatically sense the input voltage and operate at a 100-120v or 180-240v.
