Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and one on each Serial ATA drive carrier to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel.
UPER ORKSTATION 5033C-T User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC733T-350 chassis has four 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 Serial ATA Drive Carrier LEDs On the front of each Serial ATA drive carrier is a green LED. When illuminated, it indicates drive activity. A connection to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperWorkstation 5033C-T 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.
General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: ! Keep the area around the SuperWorkstation 5033C-T clean and free of clutter. ! The SuperWorkstation 5033C-T weighs approximately 40 lbs (18.2 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.
Chapter 4: System Safety ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:...
UPER ORKSTATION 5033C-T User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 5033C-T is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 5033C-T system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
Advanced Motherboard Setup This chapter covers the steps required to install the P4SCT+II motherboard into the SC733T-350 chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Re- member to completely close the chassis when you have finished working with the motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
UPER ORKSTATION 5033C-T User's Manual Unpacking The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected. Motherboard Installation This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P4SCT+II into the SC733T-350 chassis.
Connecting Cables After the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables. Connecting Data Cables The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system.
