16 Installation
Maintain Hardware Operation
Keeping the server within the range of normal operating
temperature (refer to appendix C) is necessary.
If the server has been exposed to temperature extremes, allow
two hours for it to stabilize to room temperature and humidity
before switching on the power.
Filler panels are preinstalled in your server to cover any unused
disk drive module shelves. These panels must be installed on
shelves unused for modules for the product, to provide proper
cooling for the disk drive modules. If a filler panel is missing,
order the following replacement:
Hot-swap drive module slot cover 5063-8391
Do not block the cooling vents. Do not place the server closer
than 6 inches to a wall.
To avoid the hazard of electrical shock and to ensure cooling
functions, the side door must be closed while power is on.
Power and Temperature Status Indicators
If
is displayed on the power display, the enclosure's cooling has
failed. Begin the shutdown procedure (see page 6-5) as quickly as
possible.
Continued operation of the server with a failed fan could result
in loss of data or damage to the components.
The lights on the disk drive modules indicate the status of the two
cages (with three drive shelves each). All the lights in a cage will
flash yellow or red to warn you of power faults:
Flashing Yellow: Temperature in this cage possibly exceeds
normal range.
Flashing Red: Temperature in this cage definitely exceeds
the operating temperature range. Immediately begin the
shutdown procedure on page 6-5 and refer to chapter 11,
"Resolving Problems with Your Server".
