1-4 Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service is complete.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.supermicro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.

This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance of products.

During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Rack Installation

Chapter 6: Rack Installation

This chapter provides instructions and tips for installing the chassis into a rack.

6-1 Preparing for Setup

Please read this section in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

Decide on a suitable location for the rack. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Place it near a grounded power outlet.

•

Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely.

•

Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

•

Install in a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or service closet.

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. Install the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).

•

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and similar environments).

Adequate Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.

6-1


Circuit Overloading

Avoid overloading the power supply circuitry or any overcurrent protection equipment. Use equipment nameplate ratings to calculate your requirements.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, ground the rack, itself. Pay attention to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit, such as power strips.

Physical Rack Precautions

Warning: Follow these guidelines to prevent injury. Take all precautions to ensure the system remains stable.

•

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.

•

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 this is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom.

•

Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack. 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.

•

Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.

•

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.

6-2


•

Allow the hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.

•

Always keep the rack front door, all panels and all components on the servers closed when not servicing, to maintain proper cooling.

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

6-3


6-2 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.

This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" 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.

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. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies.

2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated below.

3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.

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