  • Page 12: Server Chassis Features

    When configured as a SuperSever 5011H/5011E, the SC810 chassis in- cludes a 200W power supply. SCSI Subsystem (5011H only) The SCSI subsystem on the 5011H supports two 80-pin SCA Ultra160 SCSI hard drives. (Standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings.
  • Page 13 The SC810 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one mother- board expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports (5011H only), PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-1.) Figure 1-1.
  • Page 14: Mainboard Features

    UPER ERVER 5011H/5011E Manual Mainboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 5010H/5010E lies the P3TSSR/P3TSSE, a single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the main features of the P3TSSR/P3TSSE. Chipset Overview Intel’s 815E chipset is made up of three main components: the Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the Firm- ware Hub (FWH).
  • Page 15 32-bit PCI cards. Network Interface Controllers (NIC) The P3TSSR/P3TSSE supports two Network Interface controllers (NIC) based on Intel's 82559 and 82562 chips. (For the 5011H server, which is based on the P3TSSR mainboard, two 82559 Ethernet chips are included in the system.)
  • Page 16 UPER ERVER 5011H/5011E Manual Onboard Controllers/Ports An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four UDMA/ 100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O ports include one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a video (Graphics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports which back each other up in case one port loses connection.

    Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 5011H/5011E. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
  • Page 20: Choosing A Setup Location

    Allow the power supply units and hot plug SCSI drives (5011H) to cool before touching them. Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
  • Page 21: Installing The Superserver 5011H/5011E Into A Rack

    Rack This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5011H/5011E into a rack unit. If the 5011H/5011E has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
  • Page 22: Installing The Chassis Rails

    Manual Installing the Chassis Rails Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the 5011H/5011E chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2).

    Chapter 2: Server Installation assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward. Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit.
  • Page 24: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack

    Manual Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 5011H/5011E into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack.
  • Page 25: Checking The Motherboard Setup

    Checking the Motherboard Setup After you install the 5011H/5011E in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the 5011H/5011E (see Figure 2-5a/2-5b) First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

  • Page 33: Chapter 4: System Safety

    Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 5011H/5011E 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 34: General Safety Precautions

    General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the SuperServer 5011H/5011E clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 5011H/5011E weighs approx. 26 lbs. (11.8 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.
  • Page 35: Esd Precautions

    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. measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
