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 at: 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.

System Safety

Please read and follow all safety precautions below before using your Supermicro product.

2-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the server from damage:

• Be aware of how to power on/off the enclosure power supplies and the individual blades as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

• Power should always be disconnected from the blade module when removing or installing such system components as the mainboard, memory modules and processors.

• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

• Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

• The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets. Power input requires 110-240 VAC, depending upon your power supply module.

• Mainboard Battery: This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032 Lithium 3V battery).

Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

WARNING: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities.

• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature

Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

2-1

SC743 Air Shroud User’s Guide

2-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the server clean and free of clutter.

• Place the blade module cover and any system components that have been removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

• After accessing the inside of the system, replace the blade module's cover before installing it back into the blade enclosure.

2-3 Electrostatic Discharge Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards.

The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the mainboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure the blade enclosure provides excellent conductivity between the power supplies, the blade modules and the mainboard.

2-4 Operating Precautions

Care must be taken to assure that the cover of the blade unit is in place when the blade is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the blade can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Any drive carrier without a hard drive installed must remain fully installed in the drive bay when the blade module is operating to ensure proper airflow.

3-5 Installing the SC743 Air Shroud

To install the SC743 air shroud follow the procedure below. This procedure is the same for all configurations of the SC743 air shroud in 4U systems.

Installing the SC743 Air Shroud in SC743 Chassis Systems

1.

Configure the air shroud to fit in your system. See

Section 3-4 for details on

configuring the air shroud.

2.

Secure the rear edge of the SC743 air shroud to the top-rear part of the chassis interior so that the SC743 mounting screw holes are aligned in with the mounting screw holes of the chassis, and align so that the slot of air shroud’s front mounts with the mounting tab at the top-front part of the chassis interior (see

Figure 3-7 ).

Make sure the SC743 air shroud is mounted directly on the mainboard of its system so that the air shroud covers the system mainboard over the CPU’s and memory slots.

NOTE: The air shroud should be mounted flush with the power supply housing if installing properly. Some cable is supposed to go under the air shroud.

4.

Secure the top cover back on your system.
