Chapter 2: Server Installation • This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units. Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that the full weight of the rack rests on them.
Page 11: Mechanical Loading
Chapter 2: Server Installation Airflow Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Mechanical Loading Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Page 12: Installing The Rails
Chapter 2: Server Installation 2.4 Installing the Rails There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack. This rail set fits a rack between 26.5" and 36.4"...
Page 13: Releasing The Inner Rail
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 the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. 1.
Page 14: Installing The Inner Rails
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rails Begin the rack mounting procedure by installing the inner rails to the chassis. 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Page 15: Installing The Outer Rails Onto The Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with hooks and spring-loaded pegs to fit into the square holes in your rack. Installing the Outer Rail 1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. 2.
Page 16: Installing The Chassis Into A Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation 2.5 Installing the Chassis into a Rack Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server. 1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.
Page 17: Removing The Chassis From The Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation Removing the Chassis from the Rack Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack.

Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 3 Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given. Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.
Page 19: Accessing The System
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 3.2 Accessing the System The CSE-938NH chassis features a removable top cover, which allows easy access to the inside of the chassis. Removing the Top Cover 1. If necessary, remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1. 2.
Page 20 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Nodes The system includes eight removable computing nodes, each containing an individual motherboard. A node may be removed while other nodes continue to function. Each node controls two storage drives and shares a fan with the node beside it. If a node is pulled out of the chassis, the storage drives associated with that node will power-down.
Page 21 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Removing Nodes from the System 1. Power-down the individual node by pressing that node's power button. 2. Press and hold down the release tab on the front of the node. 3. Use the node handle to pull the node from the system. Caution: Except for short periods of time while swapping nodes, do not operate the server with the node bays empty.

Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed. • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support. • All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look different.
Page 24 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Overview of the Processor Socket The processor socket is protected by an outer plastic protective cover. If the motherboard is new, the socket will also be protected by an inner plastic cover. 1. Outer Plastic Cover 2.
Page 25 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Overview of the Heatsink The heatsink is attached to the socket with Phillips #1 screws after the processor is secured. If this is a new heatsink, thermal grease is pre-applied.
Page 26: Installing The Processor
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Installing the Processor Note: Do not remove the plastic cover covering the outside of the socket. This cover will pop out during installation of the processor. 1. Use a finger to push down the lever, then move the lever rightward. Pull the lever until it passes over the processor socket.
Page 27 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 3. Pick up the processor on its left and right edges. Hold the processor over the socket and align the arrow on the top-left corner of the processor with the arrow on the top-left corner of the socket.
Page 28 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 5. Reattach the lever arm onto the right side of the socket. The outer plastic cover will pop out when the lever arm is reattached. Note: Store the outer plastic cover. Attach the outer plastic cover to the socket force frame when storing or transporting the motherboard without a processor.
Page 29: Installing The Heat Sink
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Installing the Heatsink 1. After the processor is secure, you must install the heatsink to the socket frame. Ensure a proper amount of thermal grease is applied to the heatsink. Lower the heatsink down until the four screws on the heatsink align with the four screw holes on the socket frame.
Page 30 Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 2. Starting with two screws on opposite corners, use a Phillips #1 screwdriver to press down and tighten the screws on the heatsink. 3. When finished, the heatsink will be secured over the socket and processor.
