2. System Safety
This chapter describes basic safety precautions.
Electrical Safety Precautions
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the
SGI Rackable C2112-GP2 system from damage, as follows:
007-6362-001
•
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis 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 system when removing or installing main
system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and disk drives. When
disconnecting power, you should first power down the operating system first and then
unplug the power cords. The unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect two
power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.
•
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 static electrical 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.
9
2: System Safety
•
Serverboard Battery
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down,
which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 2-1). This battery must be replaced only with the
same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer's instructions.
!
•
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.

General Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•
Keep the area around the SGI Rackable C2112-GP2 system clean and free of clutter.
•
The SGI Rackable C2112-GP2 system weighs approximately 55 lbs (25 kg.) when fully
loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet
spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
•
Place the chassis top 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, close the system back up and secure it to the rack
unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.
ESD Precautions
!
Caution: 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. The discharge 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:
007-6362-001
•
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.
11
2: System Safety
•
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 serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity
between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.
Operating Precautions
The following are two noteworthy operating precautions:
12
•
Ensure that the chassis cover is in place when the server is operating to ensure proper
cooling. Out-of-warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly
followed.
•
Please handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way. A damaged
battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery
in the garbage or a public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local
hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

3. Server Installation
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get the SGI Rackable C2112-GP2 server
operational.
Unpack the System
Inspect the shipping container used for the server and note if it was damaged in any way. If the
server shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack that supports the weight, power requirements, and
environmental requirements of the server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free environment
that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise, and electromagnetic fields are
generated. Place the server rack near a grounded power outlet. Refer to “Warnings and
Precautions” on page 14.
Prepare for Setup
The shipping container should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and
the mounting screws that you will use to install the system into a rack.
Read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.

(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Warnings and Precautions
Rack Precautions
!
14
Warning: Failure to follow the following guidelines can result in serious injury or damage
to the equipment.
•
The SGI Rackable C2112-GP2 server weighs 55 lbs (25 kg). Always use proper lifting
techniques when your move the server. Always get the assistance of another qualified person
when you install the sever in a location above your shoulders.
•
Extend the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack to the floor with the full weight of the
rack resting on them.
•
Attach stabilizers to the rack in single rack installations.
•
Couple racks together in multiple rack installations.
•
Be sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•
Extend only one component at a time. Extending two or more components simultaneously
may cause the rack to tip over.
007-6362-001
Rack Mounting Considerations
Server Precautions
•
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 2, “System Safety.”
•
Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
Install the heaviest server components in the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
•
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges
and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
•
Allow the hot-pluggable SATA 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 the room. Therefore, consideration
should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s
maximum rated ambient temperature (35º C or 95º F).
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.
007-6362-001
15
3: Server Installation
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 (for example, the use of power strips, and so on).
Install the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the server into a rack. If the system has already
been mounted into a rack, refer to “Check the Serverboard Setup” on page 20. 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.
Separate the Sections of the Rack Rails and Install Outer Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists
of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer
fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Steps 1–4 describe how to separate the inner and outer rails:
1.
Locate the rail assembly in the chassis packaging as shown in Figure 3-1.
2. Extend the rail assembly by pulling it outward.
3. Press the quick-release tab
4. Separate the inner rail from the outer rail assembly as shown in Figure 3-1.

7. Hang the hooks of the rails onto the rack holes and if desired, use screws to secure the front
of the outer rail onto the rack.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for the remaining outer rail.
Install the Inner Rail Extensions
The server chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions.
The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis
if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail extensions are attached to the inner rails to
mount the chassis in the rack.
Perform the following steps to install the inner rail extensions as illustrated in Figure 3-2:
1.
Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of 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.
3.
Secure the chassis with two screws as illustrated.
4.
Repeat the prior steps for the other inner rail extension.

3: Server Installation
Checking the Components and Setup
You may have one or two processors already installed in your serverboard. Ensure that the
serverboard is populated per your order.
Your server system comes with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully
seated in their slots.
Ensure that all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chassis airflow.
Also, make sure that no cables are positioned in front of the fans.
Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Ensure that the peripheral drives and the disk drives have been properly installed and all
connections have been made.
Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Depending upon your
system’s configuration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. All drives are
accessible from the front of the server. If you need to install hard drives, see “Installing and
Removing Disk Drives” on page 34. Use only recommended server parts.
Checking the Airflow
Airflow is provided by four hot-swappable 8-cm chassis cooling fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate
the most heat.
Ensure that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the
airflow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) into a high-quality power strip that offers
protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Replacing System Fans
The chassis contains four 8-cm high-performance fans. Fan speed is controlled by system
temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the
overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest
convenience with the same type and model. The system can continue to run with a failed fan.
Use the following procedure to replace a failed fan:
1.
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the
fans has failed.
See “Removing the Chassis Cover” on page 30.
2. Power down the system.
3. Remove the power cord(s) as a safety precaution.
4. Unplug the fan wiring from the serverboard and remove the failed fan.

5. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely from the
chassis.
See Figure 5-8.
6. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on the
top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other
fans.
7. Power up the system and ensure that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis
cover.

6: Troubleshooting
If the System Does Not Power Up
If the system will not power up when the front power button is pushed, use the following checklist
to identify common sources for the problem:
•
Make sure that both ends of each system power cable are firmly connected to the power
supply and the corresponding power source(s) or power distribution unit (PDU).
•
Check that the LED on each power supply is properly lit. The power supply has one status
LED located on the left side of the front of the power supply. The status LED has three states
as follows:
•
–
Dark or off—Indicates no AC power present.
–
Yellow—AC power is present. The server is not turned on (no DC power).
–
Flashes slowly (about four seconds on/off)—Power supply has failed.
–
Green—AC power is present and the server is turned on (DC power present).
Open the system cover, remove the air shroud, and check to make sure that no obvious short
circuits exist between the serverboard and chassis.
If you must replace the power supply, refer to “Replacing a Power Supply” on page 32.
System Powers Up But Will Not Boot
If the system powers up but will not boot the operating system, check the following:
42
•
Check the system order document(s) - the server may have been ordered with no operating
system. If so, check with your system administrator for OS loading information.
•
Check the system disk for drive activity and confirm that it is firmly seated in the disk bay. A
red light on the front of the disk indicates a functional error. Check with your service
provider or local system administrator.
007-6362-001
No Video After System Power Up
No Video After System Power Up
If the system powers up and appears to be booting normally but no video is present, try the
following basic solutions:
•
Confirm your monitor is plugged in and switched on.
•
Check all video cables and ensure they are properly connected.
•
If using an optional PCIe video card check the back of the card for LED activity or a fault
indicator. Try opening the system, reseating the PCI card, and rebooting.
If you cannot get a video signal after trying basic solutions contact your support provider.
Memory Errors
If your system experiences memory related errors, try these basic troubleshooting steps to resolve
or better identify the problem:
•
Confirm that the power supply LED is not indicating an error.
•
Shut the system down, remove the covers over the serverboard and make sure that all the
DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
•
You should be using registered ECC DDR4 memory. Also, it is recommended that you use
the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system.
•
Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the
results.
Contact your administrator or support provider if the memory errors continue.

B. BIOS Error Codes
During Power-On Self-Test (POST) routines, which are performed each time the system is
powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process.
The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal
error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The numbers on
the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the corresponding error.
