  • Page 11: Chassis Description

    1 Chassis Description The SC450NX MP server is designed to either stand upright (pedestal mode) or be mounted in a rack (rack mode). Figures 1 and 2 show examples of these configurations. Before operation, you must purchase an adapter kit to configure the server for one of the two modes. If you have already created a pedestal server but now want to install it in a rack, you will also need an adapter kit.

  • Page 58: How The Emp Console Works

    How the EMP Console Works The EMP shares the COM2 port with the system. When the EMP has control of the port, the port operates in command state. When the system has control of it, the port operates in redirect state. When connecting to a server, the EMP console checks to determine the current COM2 port state.
  • Page 59 Figure 13. EMP Console in Redirect State Figure 13 shows the EMP console window in redirect state with the terminal window. The text that appears on the server monitor displays in the redirect window. Availability of the various EMP console features is determined by two things: the EMP access mode selected during configuration in the System Management Submenu of the BIOS Server Menu, and whether the server's COM2 port is configured for console redirect in BIOS.

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 baseboard, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad—if available.

  • Page 97: Peripheral Drives

    Peripheral Drives Drive Cabling Considerations This section summarizes device cabling requirements and constraints. The number of devices you can install depends on: The number supported by the bus The number of physical drive bays available The height of drives in the internal bays (1-inch or 1.6-inch high) The combination of SCSI and IDE devices IDE Requirements An 18-inch long IDE cable that supports two drives is standard in the system.

    Installing a 5.25-inch Peripheral in the Front Bay Three 5.25-inch half-height bays provide space for tape backup, CD-ROM, or other removable media drives. CAUTIONS Only single-ended SCSI devices supported: The internal SCSI interface in this system supports only single-ended SCSI devices on the narrow SCSI channel.

  • Page 102: Fans

    Fans The SC450NX server contains five removable chassis fans (and can accept up to three more) to cool the boards and removable media drives. These chassis fans connect to the front panel board and are enclosed in a removable foam assembly. The integrated power supply fan(s) provides more cooling and airflow.

  • Page 103: Installing The System Fan Assembly

    Installing the System Fan Assembly 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning this chapter. 2. Position the fan assembly inside the chassis so that the individual fan cables can easily reach their connectors on the front panel board. 3.
  • Page 104 NOTE The two installed fans nearest the 5.25-inch drive bays (fans 6 and 7 in Figure 34) are separated by a square piece of foam (the piece with a crescent-shaped hole) that extends perpendicularly from the front of the fans (in Figure 34, it is the rectangle between the round faces of fans 6 and 7).

  • Page 105: Installing An Individual System Fan

    Installing an Individual System Fan NOTE A general rule about 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. In general, the fan’s label is on the side from which air EXITS the fan.

  • Page 106: Installing Fans For High-Power Drives

    Installing Fans for High-Power Drives If you plan to use SCSI drives whose power exceeds 15 watts, you must install three additional system fans: two in the front fan assembly and one in the upper power supply bay. To perform this task, you must purchase a kit.
  • Page 107 6. Install two fans in the front fan assembly. See “Installing an Individual System Fan” on page 105. CAUTION The two fans you MUST install are numbered 6 and 7 in Figure 34 (page 104). 7. Connect the cable (D in Figure 35, page 106) from the fan you installed in the upper power supply bay to the connector on the power share board.

  • Page 114: Installing Dimms

    Installing DIMMs CAUTIONS Use extreme care when installing a DIMM. Applying too much pressure can damage the socket. DIMMs are keyed and can be inserted in only one way. Mixing dissimilar metals might cause memory failures later, resulting in data corruption. Install DIMMs with gold-plated edge connectors only in gold-plated sockets.
  • Page 115 1. Holding the DIMM only by its edges, remove it from its antistatic package. 2. Orient the DIMM so that the two notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM align with the keyed socket on the memory module. 3. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket, then press down firmly on the DIMM until it seats correctly.

  • Page 116: Processors

    Processors CAUTIONS Processor must be appropriate: You might damage the system if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your system. Make sure your system can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability, contact your customer service representative.

  • Page 120: Replacing The Backup Battery

    Replacing the Backup Battery The lithium battery on the baseboard powers the real-time clock (RTC) for three to four years in the absence of power. When the battery weakens, it loses voltage and the system settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (e.g.,, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.
