Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera- ture (Tmra).
AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the AS1021M-T2+ into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.
AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chas- sis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the AS1021M-T2+ into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack.
AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the AS1021M-T2+ in the rack, you will need to open the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-5) First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack.

AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of th SC815TQ-560C chassis has fi ve LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.
Chapter 3: System Interface Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. Drive Carrier LEDs Each Serial ATA drive carrier has two LEDs. Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive car- rier indicates drive activity.
Chapter 4: System Safety Chapter 4 System Safety Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the 1021M-T2+ 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.
AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Chapter 4: System Safety 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.
AS1021M-T2+ User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1021M-T2+ is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 1021M-T2+ system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.
