Serial ATA Drive Carrier LED Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. green LED (on the front of the Serial ATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity.
Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6013P-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 SuperServer 6013P-T clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 6013P-T weighs approximately 39 lbs (17.7 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.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.
Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6013P-T is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6013P-T system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.

4. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the CPU die and place the heatsink directly on the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the chassis. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat on the CPU - if not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade the heat dissipation function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to overheat.
Connecting Cables Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard. 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 in preconfigured systems to prevent them from block- ing the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back.
