Control Panel Buttons

There may be up to three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. Theseare (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC815 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. Your chassis model will have some, but not allof the LEDs listed.

Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system.

Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power
supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes themain power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must
unplug system before servicing.

UID (UB and WB Models Only): SC815 UB and WB chassis models include a UID
button. When used with a UID-compatible motherboard, the UID button is used toturn on or off the blue light function of the the U-LED. Once the blue light is activated,
the unit can be easily located in very large racks and server banks.

Universal Information LED: The Universal Information LED is used to indated
fan failure, power failure, overheat condition, or to identify the unit within a large
rack installation. The feature requires a motherboard that supports the Universal
Information LED.
When this LED blinks red quickly, it indicates a fan failure and when blinking red
slowly a power failure. This LED will be blue when used for UID (Unit Identifier).
When on continuously red, 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. See the table below for descriptions of the LED states.

System Fans

Figure 5-14. System Fan
Four heavy duty fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air throughthe chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature.
In models with counter-rotating fans, each fan unit is actually made up of two fansjoined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action
generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels.
In chassis that provide an additional open fan housing, an additional system fan
may be added for optimal cooling.
Adding a System Fan
1. Power down the system and remove the power cord from the rear of thepower supply. Remove both power cords if your system includes a redundant
power supply. Remove the chassis cover as described in Section 5-3.

Depending on your chassis model the SC815 chassis has a 330, 560, 600, 650,
700, 710 or 720 Watt power supply. This power supply is auto-switching capable.
All power supplies with the exception of the 710 power supply, automatically sense
and operate at a 100V to 240V input voltage. The 710 DC power supply operates
at -36DC to -75DC. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the
power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down the power supply unit andyou will need to replace it A power supply failure is indicated by a flashing red(0.25Hz) LED indicator.Replacement power supply units can be ordered directlyfrom Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power
supply unit in the SC815 Chassis, power must be completely removed from theserver before removing and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason.

Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running.
Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system
operational within a minimum amount of time.

6-2

Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box 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 withthe 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. You will also needit placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

6-3

Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies,
two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install thesystem into the rack. 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 forsufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicatedequipment rooms, service closets and the like).

SC815 Chassis Manual

Chapter 6 Rack Installation

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 installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from therack.

• 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 therails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and thenwork up.

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 notarise 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 haveon overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration ofequipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable GroundA 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.).

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server frompower surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of apower 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.

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 theroom. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an

To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, youmust 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.

Rack Mounting Instructions
2

This section provides information on installing the SC815 chassis into a rack unit
with the 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.
NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

1

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that securesdirectly to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly tothe rack itself.
Inner Rail Extensions (Optional)

Figure 6-2. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails(right side rail shown)

The Inner Rail Extension (Optional)
The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis
if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension to stabilize
the chassis within the rack. If you are not using a rack, you do not have to install
the inner rail extensions.
Installing the Inner Rails
Rail Locking Tabs
Front Inner Rails(Inner Rail is preinstalledon the chassis)

1. Place the inner rack extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooksof the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

Figure 6-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

3. Secure the chassis with two screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the otherinner rail extension.

Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab. The tabs lock the server into place when
installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the server in placewhen fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely
out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

6-4

Warning: do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.

Outer Rack Rails
Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for
the SC815 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.
Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. You must align thepins with the slides. Also, both bracket ends must face the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
fits snugly into the rack.

Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks fromthe bottom up.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack

3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M5 screws
and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M5 screws.

1. Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions. Also, confirm
that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the left outer rail.

2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on bothsides (It may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting). Whenthe server has been pushed completely into the rack, the locking tabs will"click" into the locked position.
4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of theserver to the rack.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

Appendix C
BPN-SAS3-815TQ Backplane Specifications

This chapter offers guidelines for personal and equipment safety, and notes about
the BPN-SAS3-815TQ version documented in this manual.

C-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 antistaticbag.

• 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 card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
C-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 themotherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
