(http://www.supermicro.com/ support/rma/). Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation Chapter 2 Chassis Installation 2.1 Overview This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your chassis in a server rack. If your chassis is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 3 for details on installing those specific components. Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual • 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 fromthe rack.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation 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.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual 2.3 Installing the Rails There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. This rail set fits a rack between 25.6" and 33" deep. The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting hardware provided.
Page 17
Chapter 2: Rack Installation Installing the Outer Rails 1. Measure the distance from the front rail of the rack to the rear rail of the rack. 2. Attach a short bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail, and a long bracket to the front side of the right outer rail as shown above on the right.
Page 18
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual Installing the Rail Assemblies to the Rack 1. After you have installed the short and long brackets to the outer rails, you are ready to install the whole rail assemblies (outer rails with short and long brackets attached) to the rack.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation 2.4 Installing the Chassis into the Rack Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, the chassis is ready to be installed into a rack. 1. Push the inner slides, which are attached to the chassis, into the grooves of the outer slide assemblies that are installed in the rack as shown below.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual Removing the Chassis from the Rack Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack.
Chapter 3: Server Installation Chapter 3 Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given. Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual 3.2 Accessing the System The chassis features a removable top cover for access to the internal components. When performing service on components inside the system, remove the system from the rack and place it on a work bench or desk. Do not service with the system extended from the rack.
These carriers also help promote proper airflow. Each carrier has a small space on the front to receive a label, orange or purple, to help distinguish SAS/SATA from other protocols. Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro servers. For compatible storage drives, see the corresponding web page.

Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual Installing a Drive To install a drive into the chassis, first remove the drive carrier from the chassis. 1. Press the release tab to release the drive carrier from its locking position. 2. Pull the drive carrier out from the chassis as shown below:...
Page 25
Chapter 3: Server Installation 4. Slide a hard drive into the drive carrier, and secure the hard drive to the drive carrier with two screws on each side of the carrier as shown below. Secure the HDD with two screws on each side of the tray. Drive carrier 5.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual System Cooling Fans Four 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter- rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels.
Permanent and Optional Standoffs Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the chassis floor. The SC815B chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations used by most motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws included in the accessories packaging.

Chapter 3: Server Installation Backplane The SC815B chassis backplane is located behind the hard drives and in front of the front system fans. In order to change the jumper settings on the backplane, it may be necessary to remove the backplane from the chassis.
Page 32
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual Installing the Backplane into the Chassis 1. Power down the system and unplug the power cords from the rear of the power supply modules. Remove the chassis from the rack and seat it on a work bench (safety area).
Chapter 3: Server Installation Power Distributor The SC815B chassis comes equipped with a power distributor. In the unlikely event that you need to replace the power distributor, use the following instructions. Changing the Power Distributor 1. Power down the chassis as described in section 3.1. Unplug the power cords from the rear of the power supplies.
Supermicro SC815B Chassis Series User's Manual Redundant Power Supply System The SC815B power supply system will continue to operate if one module fails, this is because the two power supply modules that are installed in the chassis back up each other. However, a failed power supply module should be replaced as soon as possible to maintain redundancy.
3. Push the new power supply module into the power bay until it clicks into the locked position. Replace with the same model. Power Supply Module 2 Power Supply Module 1 Release Tab Figure 3-10. Replacing the SC815B Power Supply...
