Power Subsystem The power subsystem consists of the following: • Power supply modules • Plug-in VRM converters • The Power Distribution Board The power subsystem can be configured with two power supply modules installed for 1+1 redundancy at 220 VAC. Power Supply Modules The output rating of the power supply is 1470 W when operated between 170 VAC and 264 VAC.
AC power cord is plugged in to an active AC power source. NOTE Proper system cooling requires that a power supply be installed in each power supply bay at all times. MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6 MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6...
Cooling Subsystem CAUTION The chassis top cover must be installed for proper system cooling. Cooling components must be hot- swapped within two minutes. This time period applies only to the time that the cooling component is physically removed, not from the time of failure. The cooling subsystem consists of hot-swap, redundant (2+2) fans.
The system supports a single 5 ¼” half height device mounted in the front of the chassis. A SCSI tape backup device could be used and cabled to the SCSI Channel B on the Main Board. MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6 MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6...
Platform Board Set The board set consists of the following boards: • One Main Board • One to four Memory Boards In addition, the server contains the following system boards: • Front Panel Board • SCSI Backplane Board • Power distribution Board •...

Saving the Configuration to a Disk When you have completed the data entry portion of the SCW, you are prompted to save the configuration to a CD-ROM drive or to a USB flash memory device. This allows future servers to be configured identically to this server, using the silent mode of the SCW.
The server comes with a removable top cover that allows the PCI cards, Memory Boards, and the system fans to be hot-swapped, and the system components to be serviced. With the exception of the components described in this chapter, all servicing must be done by a qualified service technician. MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6...
Removing the Top Cover To remove the top cover, follow these instructions: 1. Observe the safety precautions, warnings, and cautions described in “Safety Information”. 2. If the chassis is rack-mounted, slide the chassis out far enough to expose the entire top cover. 3.
Figure 11. System Fan Location and Removal 5. Open the handle on the replacement fan assembly. 6. Slide the replacement fan into the fan bay. 7. Push the handle closed until it clicks into place. MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6 MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6...
Hot-swapping Hard Disk Drives The server supports five hot-swap drive carriers. Each carrier holds a standard one-inch high SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive. The procedures in this section describe how to determine drive status, remove a faulty drive, and install a new drive. If a drive is in a redundant configuration, you can install or replace a hot-swap hard disk drive without powering down the server.
2. With the drive carrier handle fully open, slide the drive carrier all the way into the drive bay in the chassis. 3. Use the handle to push the carrier until it docks in the chassis, then close the drive carrier handle. MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6 MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M6...
Hot-swapping Power Supplies If your server is configured with two power supplies, you can replace a failed or failing power supply without powering down the server. CAUTION Because of chassis airflow disruption, a power supply bay should never be vacant for more than two minutes when the server power is on.
Press the cover into the slot. Rotate the bracket at the rear of the card slot into the down position. To install a replacement PCI card: see “Installing a Hot-plug PCI Add-in Card”. 12.
