Page 14: Electrical Safety Precautions
SC111 Chassis Manual Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SC111 from damage: Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet.
Page 15: General Safety Precautions
Chapter 2: System Safety radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon- ventional way. General Safety Precautions Keep the area around the chassis clean and free of clutter. Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re- moved away from the system or on a table so that they won’t accidentally be stepped on.
Page 16 SC111 Chassis Manual Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap. Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
Page 17: Chapter 3 Chassis Components
Chapter 3: Chassis Components Chapter 3 Chassis Components Overview This chapter describes the most common components included with your chassis.

SC111 Chassis Manual Power Supply Each SC111 chassis model includes one high-efﬁciency power supply rated at 560 Watts. In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be done without tools. Air Shroud Air shrouds are shields, usually plastic, that channel air directly to where it is needed. Always use the air shroud included with your chassis.
Page 19: Chapter 4 System Interface
Chapter 4: System Interface Chapter 4 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the hard drive trays that pro- vide system and component status. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate responses that need to be taken. Figure 4-1.
Page 20: Control Panel Buttons
SC111 Chassis Manual Control Panel Buttons The SC111 chassis includes two or three push-buttons located on the front panel: a reset button, a power on/off button, and a UID button Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system. Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system.
Page 21: Control Panel Leds
Chapter 4: System Interface Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC111 chassis has up to ﬁve LEDs. These LEDs provide critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any action that may be required.

Page 25: Chapter 5 Chassis Setup And Maintenance
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Chapter 5 Chassis Setup and Maintenance Overview This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte- nance on the chassis. The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Phillips screwdriver.
Page 26: Removing The Chassis Cover
SC111 Chassis Manual Removing the Chassis Cover Figure 5-1: Removing the Chassis Cover Removing the Chassis Cover Remove the screws securing the top cover to the chssis. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis. Lift the cover off the chassis. Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the server without the cover in place.
Page 27: Installing Hard Drives
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing Hard Drives Figure 5-2: Removing Hard Drive Only SAS or SATA hard drives are recommended for use in the SC111 chassis. Removing Hard Drive Trays from the Chassis Press the release button on the drive tray. This extends the drive bay handle. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.

Page 29: Dvd-Rom Drive Or Usb Comport Installation
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance DVD-ROM Drive or USB Comport Installation The SC111 chassis includes either a DVD-ROM or USB com port, which is usually pre-installed. In the unlikely event that the DVD-ROM or USB com port needs to be replaced, follow the instructions below.
Page 30 SC111 Chassis Manual If replacing an existing DVD-ROM drive or USB com port, remove the drive screws (F), place the replacement drive into the drive tray, and replace the drive tray mounting plates (G), using the drive screws. If installing a USB com port, gently slide the assembled drive, drive tray and drive tray mounting plates into the chassis.
Page 31: Installing The Motherboard
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Motherboard Optional Standoffs Figure 5-6: Chassis Standoffs Permanent and Optional Standoffs Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the chassis surface. The SC111 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used by most motherboards.
Page 32 SC111 Chassis Manual Installing the Motherboard Review the documentation that came with your motherboard. Become familiar with component placement, requirements, and precautions. Disconnect the power supply and lay the chassis on a ﬂat surface. Open the chassis cover. If necessary, remove the riser card bracket. To do this, remove the two screws holding the card in place and lift the bracket from the chassis.
Page 33: Expansion Card Setup
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Expansion Card Setup SC111 chassis includes I/O slots for add-on cards and expansion cards. "C" models (such as SC111T-560CB) include one full height slot. "U" model chassis (such as SC111T-560UB) include two full-height expansion slots and one low-proﬁle expan- sion slot.
Page 34 SC111 Chassis Manual Figure 5-9: Chassis with a Riser Card Installing an Expansion Card Conﬁrm that you have the correct riser card for your chassis model and that the add-on card includes a standard bracket. Remove the chassis cover. Install the riser card into the riser card bracket. Insert the riser card card into the appropriate slot on the motherboard.
Page 35: Installing The Air Shroud
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Installing the Air Shroud Air shrouds concentrate airﬂow to maximize fan efﬁciency. The SC111 chassis air shroud does not require screws to set up. Figure 5-10: Air Shroud Installation Air Shroud Installation Align the air shroud over the motherboard and behind the system fans. Gently place the air shroud in your chassis with the front side touching the edges of the fans.
Page 36: Checking The Air Flow
SC111 Chassis Manual Checking the Air Flow Check the Airﬂow Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airﬂow in and out of the server. In addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's ﬁlter is replaced periodically.
Page 37: System Fans
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance System Fans Figure 5-11: System Fan Three heavy duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC111 chassis contains counter-rotating fans. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions.
Page 38 SC111 Chassis Manual Figure 5-12: Chassis Fans The SC111 chassis includes three pre-installed fans. Two additional open slots are available so that up to two more fans may be added. Replacing a System Fan If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan has failed.
Page 39: Replacing The Power Supply
Chapter 5: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Replacing the Power Supply The SC111 chassis has a 560 Watt power supply. This power supply is auto- switching capable. It can automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off.

Page 41: Chapter 6 Rack Installation
Chapter 6: Rack Installation Chapter 6 Rack Installation Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
Page 42: Rack Precautions
SC111 Chassis 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 installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Page 43: Rack Mounting Considerations
Chapter 6: Rack 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).
