RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System 1-3 Server Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the RMC5018 1U mini rackmount server chassis. System Power The RMC5018 chassis includes a single 200W power supply. SATA Subsystem The RMC5018 chassis was designed to support one 3.5" or two 2.5" internal SATA drives (not hotswappable). ATA/100 IDE drives can be alternately sup- ported.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your Acnodes RMC5018 and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your RMC5018 system has come to you with the pro- cessor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, system memory etc.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System Rack Precautions o 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. o In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. o In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. o Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture 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 tempera- ture (Tmra).
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System 2-4 RackMounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the RMC5018 chassis into a rack unit 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. Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1. Confirm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount the chassis into a rack 2.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System Installaing into a Telco Rack The RMC5018 supports Telco Rack installation. The RMC5018 chassis compact design allows the chassis to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails. Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack 1. Confirm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount the chassis into a rack 2. Align the thru holes of the chassis with the thru holes of the rack. 3.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System 2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup After you install the RMC5018 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. Accessing the Inside of the System (Figure 2-5) 1. First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). 2. Remove the five screws that hold the chassis cover in place.

Checking the Drives 1. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system. 2. Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives ,please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM INTERFACE 3-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System Overheat When this LED is on it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5).
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System Power Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. 14628 Central Blvd, Chino, CA91710 tel:909.597.7588, fax:909.597.1939 © Copyright 2011 Acnodes, Inc. All rights reserved.

RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY 4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Acmpdes RMC5018 from damage: o 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.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System o Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1). 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. o DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System o 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. 4-3 ESD 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.
RMC 5018 1U Rackmount System 4-4 Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the RMC5018 is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. 14628 Central Blvd, Chino, CA91710 tel:909.597.7588, fax:909.597.1939 © Copyright 2011 Acnodes, Inc.
