Most SC846 models have two buttons on the chassis control panel: a reset button and a power on/off switch. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate responses you may need to take. 3-1 SC846 Chassis Manual 3-2 Control Panel Buttons There are two push-buttons located on the left handle of the chassis. These are (in order from top to bottom) a power on/off button and a reset button. Power: 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. Therefore, you must unplug system before servicing. Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system. 3-3 Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the left handle of the SC846 chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take. Informational LED: Continuously on and blue: UID function has been activated. Flashing red: Fan failure. Continuously on and red: Overheat condition. This may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat or fan failure condition exists. 3-2 Chapter 3: System Interface HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA drive, and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing. 1 NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. 2 NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes, it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists. ! Power Failure: When this LED flashes, it indicates a failure in the redundant power supply. 3-3 SC846 Chassis Manual 4 Drive Carrier LEDs Your chassis uses SAS/SATA. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. • Blue: Solid on = Drive is present and available. Blinking = Drive is actively being accessed. Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a blue LED. When illuminated in a solid on state, this blue 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. • Red: Solid on = Drive failure Blinking = Rebuilding RAID The red LED to indicate an SAS/SATA drive failure. If one of the SAS/SATA drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software. SCSI Drives This chassis does not support SCSI drives at this time. 3-4 Chapter 4: Chassis Setup and Maintenance Chapter 4 Chassis Setup and Maintenance 4-1 Overview This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the chassis.

Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system installed within a minimal amount of time. 2 Unpacking the System You should inspect the box which the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it. Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. The system needs to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section. 3 Preparing for Setup The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included is an optional square hole to round hole converter bracket, for use in racks with round mounting holes. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow. • Choosing a Setup Location Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches). • • Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like). 5-1 SC846 Chassis Manual 4 Warnings and Precautions Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. • In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. • In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. • Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack. • You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable. • General Server Precautions Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are adding to your chassis. • Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. • • Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work upwards. Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure. • Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. • Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling. 5-2 Chapter 5: Rack 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). Reduced Airflow Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Mechanical Loading Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading. 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. Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.). To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety: • This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. • • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack. 5-3 SC846 Chassis Manual 5-6 Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side of the chassis. Rail Assembly (Shown with Rails Retracted) Outer Rail Middle Rail Locking Tab This Side Faces Outward Inner Rail Figure 5-1: Identifying the Outer Rail, Middle Rail and Inner Rails (Left Rail Assembly Shown) 5-4 Chapter 5: Rack Installation Locking Tabs Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. Releasing the Inner Rail Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails 1.

D-26 Appendix E: SAS2-846EL Backplane Specifications Appendix E SAS2-846EL Backplane Specifications To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps listed below when accessing your system or handling the components. 1 ESD Safety Guidelines Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic bag. • Handle the backplane by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts. • • When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. Put the backplane and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. 2 General Safety Guidelines • Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components from the computer, including the backplane. • Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the backplane. • Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
