PREFACE
Thank you for choosing In Win IW-RS424-02M. This manual is written for system technicians who are responsible for installation, troubleshooting, managing, and repairing this server chassis. This document provides the overview of all the features of the chassis, a list of accessories or other components you may need to finish the installation, troubleshooting methods, and instructions of adding and removing components on the In Win IW- RS424-02M. For the latest version of this manual, you may visit In Win’s server website to download the latest updated version.
SAFETY INFORMATION
To ensure safe and smooth operation of your In Win IW- RS424-02M, it is essential that you choose an appropriate location for the system, provide an appropriate operating environment, and adequate power for all components of the system. As you plan for installation, follow the guidelines below to ensure that the system and its environment are safely and appropriately positioned for efficient operation and service. Your system should be installed and serviced only by technically qualified persons.
Environment selection: The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. The location should be a clean, dry, and free of airborne particles; a well-ventilated room and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight and radiators; it should keep the sources of vibration or physical shock away; the space should be with a properly grounded wall outlet, and with sufficient space to access the power supply cords. The operation environment temperature should be around 0°C to 40°C (32°F to
104°F).
Heed safety instructions: Before working with In Win IPC/Storage server/ System products, we strongly recommend you are using this guide as a reference and follow the safety instructions. The instructions in this manual will help you ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Follow the described, regulated components mentioned in this manual. Use of non UL listing products or other regulatory did not approvals will make non-compliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT totally turn off the system AC power. To remove the power of system, you have to unplug the AC power cord from the outlet or system’s power supply units. Make sure the power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
2 -
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions usually present on power supply units, and communication cables. Disconnect the power cord, and any other device which attached to the server before opening the case. Otherwise, it will raise the risk of personal injury or equipment damage.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: In most cases, ESD damages disk drives, electronic boards, and other parts. We recommend that you work the installation only at an ESD free space. If the situation does not allow, perform ESD protection actions by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to ground any unpainted metal surface on your server during your operation.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a short length of conductor used to close, open or bypass part of an electronic circuit. Jumpers on In Win backplane have a small tab on top that you can pick up with your fingertips. Grip the jumper carefully, and plug the jumper to cover the jumper pins on the backplane. Once you need to remove the jumper, gripping the jumper, and carefully pull out without squeezing.
CAUTION
To avoid damage and prove your safety, please notice and following the terms listed below:
1.
No to populate hard drives and turn on the power before the system is settle down.
2.
Tighten or loosen all the screws, please use screw driver to operate.
3.
Apply the correct screws which packed in the accessories box.
4.
For your safety, it requires at least two persons lift, and place the unit.
5.
Before mounting the unit to the cabinet, make sure the rail is installed correctly.

4 Compatibility Lists
To reach best performance and avoid system failure, In Win strongly recommend users choosing the components from In Win’s compatibility list. All the components are tested in In Win’s lab and assured the components are working well with In Win’s chassis.
You can download the latest updated device compatibility list from In Win’s website: https://www.in-win.com/en/ipc-server
5 Q&A a. What are the function of backplane?
A: The backplane is the bridge which connects the hard drives and export the signal to the motherboard. Also, backplane provides the LED signals indicating the status of the hard drives, and alarming when the system temperature is abnormal. b. Does backplane supports 6Gb SAS?
A: In Win IW-RSXXX-02M in default is with 12Gb SAS backplane. The 12Gb SAS connector is not alignment with 6Gb SAS. In Win provides OEM/ODM service, user can contact In Win sales for customization. c. Does the chassis support 3.5”, 2.5”, SAS and SATA drive? Can I mix the different type of drives in an enclosure?
A: In Win IW-RSXXX-02M supports both 3.5” and 2.5” form factor’s SAS/SATA disks. It allows different types of disks work together in an enclosure. Yet, to reach the best performance, we recommend following the motherboard or RAID controller vendors’ instruction deploying you hard drives to each the best performance. d. Does the chassis support flash drive?
Any SSD supports SAS or SATA connection can be attached to the In Win IW-RSXXX-02M, but beware the NVMe SSD is not supported. We recommend referencing In Win’s compatibility list to check if your
SSD is listed, or referencing the information to purchase SSD. e. If I don’t need the front cover, can I have the standard handle?
In Win IW-RSXXX-02M supports both standard handle and bezel handle. If you would like your chassis with standard metal handle, please contact your local reseller to purchase the bezel package for replacement.

-
f. Do the chassis support mirrored OS disks?
In Win IW-RSXXX-02M models supports at least 2 internal disks, RS424-02M and RS424-02M have builtin 2bay hot swap module. Yet, the disk mirroring is defined by your motherboard or your RAID 1 controller card. You may check the vendor’s guide to mirror your OS disks. g. Can it support small form factor MB such as M-ATX and Mini-ITX?
In Win IW-RSXXX-02M supports motherboard range from Mini-ITX to EEB. Unless you would like to mount a customized motherboard which not meet Intel’s standard, you will need to contact In Win partners or sales for customization service. h. Do I need a RAID controller card to connect the backplane?
If you would like to construct a solid hardware RAID system, it is required. However, using the RAID controller card or not, is depends on your purpose and budget. We recommend discussing with In
Win’s channel partner for their suggestions. i. Where can I buy the SAS cable?
6Gb SAS to 4 SATA or 6Gb SAS to 6Gb SAS are standard cable that you easily buy from many vendors.
You can buy the verified cable from In Win to eliminate the compatibility issues.
