    UPER ERVER 6023P-8R/6023P-8 Manual Choosing a Setup Location: - Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches). - Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

  • Page 21: Installing The 6023P-8R/6023P-8 Into A Rack

    You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer 6023P-8R/6023P-8. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6023P-8R/6023P-8 (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail.

  • Page 22: Installing The Chassis Rails

    Installing the Chassis Rails: Position one of the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the 6023P-8R/6023P-8. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Slide the rail toward the front of the chassis (see arrows in Figure 2-2) until you hear them click into place with the retention hooks on the chassis.

    ERVER 6023P-8R/6023P-8 Manual Installing the Server into a Telco Rack: If you are installing the SuperServer 6023P-8R/6023P-8 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 6023P-8R/6023P-8 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the con- nections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the 6023P-8R/6023P-8 (see Figure 2-5): First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

    Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive carriers and the motherboard to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components.

  • Page 30: Control Panel Leds

    SUPERSERVER 6023P-8R/6023P-8 User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC822 chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illumi- nated and any corrective action you may need to take.

  • Page 31: Power

    A SAF-TE compliant backplane is needed to activate the red LED, which indicates a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane is standard on the 6023P-8R/6023P-8.) If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software.

  • Page 33: Chapter 4: System Safety

    Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6023P-8R/6023P-8 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 6023P-8R/6023P-8 clean and free of clutter. ! The SuperServer 6023P-8R/6023P-8 weighs approximately 46/43 lbs 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

    ! 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.

  • Page 36: Operating Precautions

    Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6023P-8R/6023P-8 is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6023P-8R/6023P-8 system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
