1 System Description Chassis Feature Summary The Columbus II's galvanized metal chassis minimizes EMI and radio frequency interference (RFI). The removable side cover is attached to the chassis with three screws and provides easy access to the server board and power supply. You can secure this cover to the chassis with a padlock (not provided, see page 13 for padlock size).

Peripherals Internal Bay for 3.5-inch Drives An internal bay is provided for drives that are 3.5 inches wide and either 1 inch or 1.6 inches high. The possible combinations (height and quantity) are as follows: • Up to a total of six drives, each 1 inch high •...
Power Supply Your chassis includes either a 300 watt or a 275 watt power supply 300 Watt Power Supply The 300 watt universal-type power supply is designed to minimize EMI and RFI. The supply operates within the following voltage ranges and is rated as follows: •...
System Security To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the chassis includes a physical padlock loop and a chassis intrusion switch that can be monitored by Server Management software. Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring Secure the side cover to the chassis by inserting a padlock (not provided) through the metal loop protruding through the slot in the back edge of the side cover.
2 Working Inside the System Tools and Supplies Needed • Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#2 bit) • Antistatic wrist strap (recommended) Safety: Before You Remove the Side Cover Before removing the system side cover to work inside the system, observe these safety guidelines. 1.
CAUTIONS Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you do all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your system when handling parts.
OM06410 Figure 5. Removing the Side Cover Built-in handle Metal loop (for padlock) C. Retaining screws (3) Installing the Side Cover CAUTION Do not damage EMI strips: When you install the side cover, do not damage the EMI gaskets mounted on the cover. Replace any damaged strips, or your system may not meet EMI requirements.
Front Cover Removing the Front Cover 1. Remove side cover. 2. Remove and save the screw from the front cover; you will need it later to reattach the cover. 3. Squeeze the two plastic tabs inside the front cover, and push them through the chassis slots. 4.
Add-in Boards Installing an Add-in Board CAUTIONS Do not overload server board: Do not overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current. ESD and handling boards: Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the server board, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad—if available.
OM06425 Figure 7. Installing an Add-in Board Expansion slot cover and screw Add-in board, use same screw Removing an Add-in Board CAUTION Slot covers must be installed on all vacant expansion slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components.
7. Use the screw removed earlier. Insert it into the threaded hole, and push the rounded notch against screw. Tighten it firmly to prevent the bracket from interfering with adjacent brackets. Diskette Drive Removing the Diskette Drive 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.
OM05073 Figure 9. Removing the Diskette Drive from the Carrier Screws (4) Drive C. Carrier Installing the Diskette Drive 1. Remove the new 3.5-inch diskette drive from its protective wrapper, and place it component- side up on an antistatic surface. Record the drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.
IDE Requirements An 18-inch long IDE cable that supports two drives is standard in the system. If you install an IDE hard drive, we recommend placing it in the lowest internal drive bay to make cabling easier, particularly if you also have an IDE device in the externally accessible bay. For proper IDE operation, note the cable length specified in the following figure.
Do not install hard drives in 5.25-inch bays: for several reasons, we recommend that you do NOT install hard drives in the 5.25-inch bays: the drives cannot be properly cooled in this location; a hard drive generates EMI and is more susceptible to ESD in this location. NOTES Save the filler panels and EMI shields: system EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or filler panels and...
7. Using two screws of the appropriate size and length (not supplied), attach each plastic slide rail with its metal grounding plate to the drive. 8. Position the drive so the plastic slide rails engage in the bay guide rails. Push the drive into the bay until the slide rails lock in place.
OM06406 Figure 13. Installing a Removable Media Device Removable media device Power cable C. Data cable Removing a 5.25-inch Peripheral Device 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Remove the side and front covers. 3.
Installing a Hard Drive in the Internal Bay The internal peripheral bay has space for these possible drive combinations (height and quantity): • Six drives, each 1 inch high • Three drives, each 1.6 inches high • Two 1.6-inch drives plus two 1-inch drives 1.
15. Attach power and signals cables to any drives installed in the bay. For proper cooling and airflow, neatly fold and secure the excess signal cable (use a tie wrap or cable clip) so that it does not drape across the server board or add-in boards. OM06412 Figure 15.
Fans For cooling and airflow, the system contains two removable chassis fans to cool the boards and removable media drives. The integrated power supply fan provides more cooling and airflow. Removing a Fan OM06424 Figure 16. Removing the Fan Housing Assembly 1.
Installing a Fan NOTE A general rule about the correct airflow direction: the removable fan pulls air from in front of the chassis so that it flows across the boards and out the back. Thus, the fan must be oriented for the correct airflow direction. If you place the fan so the label faces the back of the chassis, this should provide the correct orientation.
3. Carefully swing the assembly to the right, like closing a door, until the outer edge tabs on the fan housing snap into the slots in the front of the chassis. To align these tabs correctly, you may need to repeat step 2. 4.
OM06423 Figure 18. Removing The Front Panel Board Installing the Front Panel Board 1. Reconnect the front panel board signal cable to the server board. 2. Position the front panel board over the snap-on standoff and the threaded standoff inside the chassis.
Server Board Removing the Server Board CAUTIONS The server board can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always requires careful handling. After removing it from the system, place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface to prevent shorting out the battery leads. If you place the board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out.
OM06414 Figure 19. Removing the Server Board Installing the Server Board 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Place the EMI gasket over the I/O connectors on the server board. 3. Position the board over the two snap-in standoffs and threaded standoffs inside the chassis, and slide it carefully toward the rear of the system until the I/O connectors protrude through the back panel.

Current Usage As an overall current usage limitation on the power supply, do not exceed a combined power usage for the +5 and +3.3 volt outputs of 147 watts (for a 275 watt power supply) or 167 watts (for a 300 watt power supply).
Worksheet, Total Combined Power Used by the System 1. From the previous worksheet, enter the total current for each column. 2. Multiply the voltage by the total current to get the total wattage for each voltage level. 3. Add the total wattage for each voltage level to arrive at a total combined power usage on the power supply.
WARNINGS Before removing any covers, unplug all power supply cords from the power supply or wall outlet. Save any screws that held the covers on to use when you reassemble the system. When you finish upgrading the system, place the covers back onto the system and secure with the original screws.
