  • Page 14: System Overview

    Rackable™ C1110-RP6 system is a compute-optimized server comprised of two main subsystems: the 1U chassis and a serverboard (motherboard). Check with your sales or service representative before loading any operating system on your server not provided by the SGI factory or service organization.

  • Page 15: Serverboard Features

    Ten-Drive C1110-RP6 System Chassis Front View Example Serverboard Features The SGI Rackable C1110-RP6 system has a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel C602 chipset. The following subsections describe the main features of the serverboard. See Figure 1-3 on page 6 for a functional block diagram of the serverboard.

  • Page 16: Memory

    The Intel C600 chipset provides BIOS-assisted software RAID only, not hardware RAID. Hardware RAID support is available as an optional configuration. Contact your SGI sales or service provider to order a specific RAID upgrade if your system was not ordered with that option.

  • Page 17: Ipmi

    IPMI The IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for the SGI Rackable C1110-RP6 system. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.

    Chapter 2 System Operation This chapter describes the basic steps needed to get your SGI Rackable C1110-RP6 system up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time.

  • Page 22: Rack Precautions

    This is an optional device not provided by SGI with your system. Allow the hot plug disk drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. Always keep the server closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

  • Page 23: Rack Mounting Considerations

    Unpacking the System and Choosing an Operating Location Rack Mounting Considerations Use the guidelines in the following subsections to properly install, use and maintain a server in a rack. Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room.

  • Page 24: System Warnings And Precautions

    System Warnings and Precautions Warning: The SGI Rackable C1110-RP6 server weighs up to ~30 lbs (~13.6 kg). Always use proper lifting techniques when you move the server. Always get the assistance of another qualified person when you install the sever in a location above your shoulders. Failure to do so may result in serious personal injury or damage to the equipment.

    Installing the System into a Rack Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SGI Rackable C1110-RP6 system into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to the next section.

  • Page 26: Installing The Inner Rails

    2: System Operation Installing the Inner Rails Both the left and right side inner rails should have been pre-attached to the chassis as shown in the example in Figure 2-2. Proceed to the next subsection for information on installing the outer rails into a rack.

  • Page 27: Locking Tabs

    Installing the System into a Rack Figure 2-3 Outer Rail Attachment to Rack Example Locking Tabs Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack.

  • Page 28: Installing The Server Into The Rack

    2: System Operation 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 chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.

  • Page 29: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack

    Installing the System into a Rack Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the server 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. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back.

    2: System Operation Figure 2-5 Top View of Server Remove/Replace the Chassis Top Covers Use the following information to remove the chassis top cover over the serverboard: Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the two screws that secure the motherboard top covers to the chassis.
  • Page 31 Installing the System into a Rack Figure 2-6 Server Top Covers Removal Example Use the following steps to remove the (front) chassis top cover over the system drives: Use your thumbs in the top-cover recess “button” to push the front section of the top cover towards the front of the system and lift upward.

  • Page 32: Checking The Components And Setup Before Power On

    2: System Operation Checking the Components and Setup Before Power On If any internal modifications have been made to the server prior to installation in the rack, you may wish to recheck the server’s interior. You should have two processors already installed on the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink.
  • Page 33 Installing the System into a Rack For higher availability it is recommended that you use an optional uninterruptible power supply (UPS) with the server. Note: The blue LED indicates unit identification (UID) when activated by an IPMI tool command or using the button on the rear of the chassis. See Chapter 3 for a complete overview of the front control panel LED and button functions.
