HDD power LEDs
There are four HDD power LEDs, one for each SCSI HDD.
• The LED lights up steady GREEN when an HDD is installed on the drive tray.
• The LED lights up steady RED when the installed HDD fails.
• The LED flickers RED when the HDD is creating a RAID configuration.
HDD access LED
This LED flickers GREEN when any one of the installed HDDs is being accessed.
LAN LEDs
There are three LAN LEDs, one for each of the RJ-45 ports on the rear panel. A LAN LED flickers GREEN when the RJ-45 port connected to it is active.
Power LED
This LED lights up steady GREEN when the system power is ON.
Message LED
This LED lights up steady RED when a system failure is detected by ASUS
Server Management Agent (ASMA) software. This LED is OFF if ASMA does not detect any failure.
Location LED
This LED lights up steady BLUE when the location switch is pressed. Both the front and rear panels have location switch and LED. To turn OFF the
LED, press the location switch again or use the ASWM software.
The location switch and LED are for service purposes. When the system fails or is shut down, the server administrator can press either the front or the rear location switch to identify the location of the specific 1U system in a rack cabinet.

If you installed a SCSI RAID card, you may create a RAID configuration using the bundled bridge board for SCSI (BRIDGE/S-AR12).
1. Remove the metal metal cage over the bridge board. See instructions on removing the metal cage on page 40 (PCI fan section).
2. Remove the standard bridge board (BRIDGE-AR12) and replace it with the SCSI bridge board (BRIDGE/S-AR12).
3. Install the bridge board with the 68-pin SCSI connector facing the rear panel (see picture on the next page). Take note of the BPCON connectors for the motherboard (MB) and the backplane (BP).
4. Secure the bridge board with four screws.
5. Connect a 68-pin SCSI cable from the SCSI RAID card to the SCSI connector on the bridge board. See illustration on the next page.

Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
Backplane board
The backplane board includes the four hot-swappable connectors for the
SCSI drives accessible from the front panel, and several other connectors that link to the motherboard and main power supply unit.
The backplane board comes pre-installed in the chassis. Normally, you do not need to remove the backplane from the chassis unless it is damaged and needs repair. In case you will have to remove and re-install the backplane, take note of the location of the screws (indicated by circles in the figure below) that secure it to the chassis.

3. Press the black peg to fasten the front bezel to the mounting ear. Do the same to the other peg.
Mounting ear
To remove the front bezel, pull the black pegs on each end to release, then use your two hands to pull out the front bezel as shown.
Chapter 2: Hardware Setup
2.10 Installing CD-ROM and floppy drives
The slim-type CD-ROM drive and slim-type floppy drive are contained in an external combo box. You will need these drives when installing the drivers, utilities, and software applications. The drives are not hot-swappable so you should install them before powering up the system. However, you can detach the cage from the chassis when you do not need it anymore. No need to shut down the system.
NOTE
The combo box and drives are NOT standard shipping items in the AP1600R-S5 system package. These items are sold separately.
1. When shipped, the rails of the combo box are attached to the sides as shown. Remove the screw closer to the front and set it aside.
Remove this screw
2. Loosen the other screw closer to the rear side. Do not remove the screw completely.
Loosen this screw
3. Turn the rail 180 degrees. The screw hole on the rail should align to the hole on the side of the combo box.
4. Secure the rail with the screw that you removed earlier.

5. Follow steps 1 to 4 to install the other rail.
6. Insert the rails to the holes on the front panel and match the
68-pin connector at the rear of the combo box with the connector on the front panel.
7. Firmly push the combo box into the chassis until it fits in place.
In case you need to replace either the CD-ROM or the floppy drive inside the combo box, follow these steps.
1. Use a Philips (cross) screwdriver to remove the screws the secure the drives to the combo box.

Removing the fans
Remove the fans only when they get damaged and need to be replaced.
PCI fan
The PCI fan is covered by a metal cage. To remove the fan, remove the two screws that secure the cage on both sides. Lift the metal cage and fan out of the chassis. The PCI fan cable connects to the connector
FAN4 on the motherboard.
System fan modules
To remove a system fan module, remove the screws (indicated by white circles) that secure the module.
Hold the green strap on each end of the module and carefully lift up the module.

Removing the power supply
Follow these steps in case you need to remove the power supply in the future.
NOTES
Remove all power cable connections.
Remove all system components that overlap with the power supply.
Refer to the previous sections for instructions on removing system components.
1. Remove the two screws that secure the metal cage beside the power supply. Unlatch the metal cage from the chassis base to remove it.
2. Remove the two screws that secure the power supply to the chassis base.

NOTE
The power supply will shut down and latch off for shorting +5V,
+12V, -12V, or +3.3V. By shorting +5VSB, the power supply can latch down or automatically recover when the fault condition is removed. This requires disconnecting then re-connecting the AC power plug.
