Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation 2.1 Overview This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack. If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 4 for details on installing those specific components. Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components.
SuperServer 1029P-NES32R 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 from the rack.
Chapter 2: Server 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.
SuperServer 1029P-NES32R User's Manual 2.3 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails 1.
SuperServer 1029P-NES32R User's Manual Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2.

If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan requires changing.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Power Supply The chassis has two redundant power supplies. The power modules are hot-swappable, enabling the power supplies to be changed without powering down the system. These power supplies are auto-switching capable. This enables the power supply to automatically sense and operate at a 100V to 240V input voltage.
Page 47
SuperServer 1029P-NES32R User's Manual Changing the Power Supply 1. Determine which power supply needs to be replaced and unplug the power cord to that module. 2. Push the release tab (on the back of the power supply) as illustrated, to release the power module from the chassis.
8-pin Processor Power (JGPW1~4) SMCI-Proprietary Power Connectors Two SMCI-proprietary Power Supply Unit connectors, located at PSU1/PSU2, provide main power to your system.
