SUPERSERVER 6027TR-HTRF+/H70RF+/H71RF+ User's Manual Server Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC827 server chassis. System Power Each SC827 chassis model includes a high-effi ciency 80-plus Platinum certifi ed power supply, rated at 1620 Watts plus one redundant backup power supply. In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be accomplished without tools.
Chapter 1: Introduction Air Shrouds The SC827 chassis includes four plastic air shrouds that direct the airfl ow where cooling is needed on each serverboard. Always use the air shroud included with your chassis on each serverboard. Mounting Rails The SC827 includes a set of quick-release rails, and can be placed in a rack for secure storage and use.

Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations 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. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
SUPERSERVER 6027TR-HTRF+/H70RF+/H71RF+ User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SC827 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rail Extension The SC827 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail extension is attached to the inner rail to mount the chassis in the rack.
SUPERSERVER 6027TR-HTRF+/H70RF+/H71RF+ User's Manual Outer Rack Rails Outer rails attach to the rack and hold the chassis in place. The outer rails for the SC827 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches. Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack (Figure 2-3) 1.
Page 25
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-4) 1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated above. 2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack. 3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides.

Accessing the inside of the System Before operating the server for the fi...
Chapter 2: Server Installation Checking the Components and Setup 1. You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heat sink installation. 2.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SC827 models include four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the systems. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
SUPERSERVER 6027TR-HTRF+/H70RF+/H71RF+ User's Manual Control Panel Button • Power: The main power button on each of the four control panels is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to each of the four systems in the chassis. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
Chapter 3: System Interface Drive Carrier LEDs The server chassis uses SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. • Blue: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the SAS/SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the SAS/SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
Only certifi ed technicians should attempt to install or confi gure components. Read this appendix in its entirety before installing or confi guring components in the Supermicro chassis.

SUPERSERVER 6027TR-HTRF+/H70RF+/H71RF+ User's Manual Adapter Card/Micro-LP Card Replacement Each motherboard drawer comes equipped with a adapter card which plugs into the backplane. In the unlikely event that the adapter card needs to be replaced, installation requires only a Phillips head screwdriver. Figure 6-13.
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Micro-LP Card/Micro-LP Slot Setup The SC827 chassis includes expansion slots for Micro-LP cards. Each serverboard node supports one low profi le/half length Micro-LP card for a total of four per chassis, one per drawer. Note: the Micro-LP cards should already be installed in the motherboad drawers of the chassis and do not need replacement unless the motherboard needs replacing.
SAS/SATA Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. You must use standard 1" high, SAS/SATA drives in the system. Note: Refer to Supermicro's web site for setup guidelines: <http://www.supermicro. com/support/manuals/>.
