Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
This appendix provides a list of useful information that is unique to the SR1550 server chassis
and should be kept in mind while integrating and configuring your system.
o You must run the FRUSDR utility to load the proper Sensor Data Records for this system on
to the server board. Failure to do so may result in possible false errors being reported to the
System Event Log. It is best to download the latest FRUSDR Utility for your particular server
board from the following web site:
o To ensure proper cooling of your server, all air ducts must be in place. In addition, all drive
bays must be populated with either a drive or a drive blank.
o Processor fans are not supported and are not needed in this server chassis.
o Make sure all system boards, peripherals, and cables are detached from the backplane
before removing the backplane from the system. Failure to detach components from the
backplane before removal may result in component damage.
o The cooling sub-system for this system provides no fan redundancy. Should any of the
system fans fail, the system should be shut down as soon as possible to have the failed fan
replaced.
I
n order to prevent data loss due to power interruptions of any duration, it is recommended
o
that a Uninterruptible Power Source (UPS) be used anytime unstable line power may exist.
o The air baffle should ONLY be removed when a 2
single processor configuration with the air baffle removed may result in the processor over
heating and may cause the system to shutdown. Once the air baffle is removed from the air
duct, it cannot be re-attached.
o When AC power is first applied to the system and 5V-STBY is present, the BMC controller
on the server board requires 30-35 seconds to initialize. During this time, the System Status
LED will Blink, alternating between Amber and Green, and the Power Button functionality of
the Control Panel is disabled, preventing the server from powering up.
o Only Dual-Core Intel
667 MHz, 1066 MHz, and1333 MHz are supported on this server system.
