Page 23: System Safety
Chapter 2 System Safety This chapter describes basic safety precautions. Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the ISS3104 system from damage, as follows: • Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. -
Page 24: Figure 2-1 Installing The Onboard Battery
2: System Safety • Serverboard Battery Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 2-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. -
Page 25: General Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: • Keep the area around the ISS3104 system clean and free of clutter. • Fully loaded, the system weighs approximately 43 lbs (19.5 kg). When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. -
Page 26: Operating Precautions

Page 30: Circuit Overloading
3: Server Installation Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. -
Page 31: Identifying The Sections Of The Rack Rails
Installing the System into a Rack Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 3-1). -
Page 32: Installing The Inner Rails
3: Server Installation Installing the Inner Rails As shown in Figure 3-2, both the left- and right-side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to installing the outer rails. Figure 3-2 Inner Rack Rails 007-6307-001... -
Page 33: Installing The Outer Rails
Installing the System into a Rack Installing the Outer Rails Do the following to install the outer rails: Measure the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. 2. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail. -
Page 34: Figure 3-3 Installing The Server In A Rack
3: Server Installation Figure 3-3 Installing the Server in a Rack Note: The figure above is for illustration purposes. Always install servers to the rack in a bottom-to-top fashion. To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs on the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to pull the system out past the locked position. -
Page 35: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack
Installing the System into a Rack Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the chassis into a Telco-type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. -
Page 37: System Interface
Chapter 4 System Interface As shown in Figure 4-1, there are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. -
Page 38: Control Panel Buttons
4: System Interface Control Panel Buttons There are three push buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button, a UID button, and a power on/off button. UID Button Figure 4-2 UID Button Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. -
Page 39: Power Button
Control Panel LEDs Power Button Figure 4-4 Power Button The main power button is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. -
Page 40: Universal Information Led
4: System Interface Universal Information LED Figure 4-5 UID LED You can activate the UID LED by depressing the UID button or via IPMI. You must deactivate the UID LED in the same manner as it was activated. Table 4-1 describes the various states of the LED and corrective actions where appropriate. -

Page 63: Bios Error Codes
Appendix B BIOS Error Codes During Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may occur. Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen. Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure.
