I. INTRODUCTION I. INTRODUCTION Preface Preface A Guide to build up the ASUSTeK newer and more powerful server system: AP5000. The AP5000 uses the P2L97-DS smart motherboard as its base to support dual Pentium II processor. With a built-in AGP slot, the AP5000 can be both a server and workstation. The following introductions will guide you to understand and build up such a best system - AP5000.
I. INTRODUCTION (This page was intentionally left blank) I.
II. BARE-BONE KITS Bare-Bone Kits Overview This section will show you the component kits of AP5000 including housing, motherboard, CPU card, device drive-bay, back plane board, and slot card. II. BARE-BONE KITS HOUSING The housing of the AP5000 is ivory white.
II. BARE-BONE KITS MOTHERBOARD The AP5000 uses the P2L97-DS motherboard which is designed to support dual Pentium II processors. For detailed specifications, refer to the P2L97DS user’s manual. II.
II. BARE-BONE KITS DRIVE BAY II. BARE-BONE KITS There are two types of drive bays, that could mount, floppy drive, CDROM drive and hard disk drive. One type is fixed type and another is removable type which has key-lock feature, refer to the following figures: Fig 2-4: Fixed type drive bay Fig 2-5: Hot-Swap drive bay BACK PLANE BOARD The ASUS Back Plane Board, DA-BP4 series, were designed for carrying four removable SCSI devices per Back Plane Board.
II. BARE-BONE KITS SLOT CARD The ASUS slot card is DA-BC68 which uses for wide SCSI. Its jumpers and connectors are shown on Fig:2-7. It will setup with Hot-Swap drive bay. KEY SLED PLED ALED_IN SCSI_ID II.

III. INTEGRATION PROCEDURES Along with previous product shipping kits, this section will introduce you on how to integrate an AP5000 together, and some of the notices you need to be aware of during installation. The step-by-step procedures have divided to five topics which are System Unit Integration, CPU Card Installation, Cabling, Device Drives, Installation, and Back Plane Board Installation. SYSTEM UNIT System assembly steps are as follows: 1. Open cover. 2. Remove fan frame. 3.
III. INTEGRATION Inserting the motherboard Set the system down with on a level surface with the open side facing up. Remove the system fan frame module (Fig 3-4). Put the motherboard support (spacer) in order to balance the power of plugging add-on and CPU cards (Fig 3-5), then place the motherboard into the housing (Fig 3-6). Next, screw the motherboard into the housing (Fig 3-7). Please do not over tighten as this may damage the surface of the motherboard. III.
III. INTEGRATION Installing the memory and power I/O cables Next, install the memory, power cable, serial/parallel/VGA brackets, and HDD/FDD cable (Fig 3-8). For more details about cable paths of device drives, refer to Cabling (p.20). I/O ports and brackets Power connector SCSI hard disk connector III. INTEGRATION Memory FDD cable connector Fig 3-8: Installation of Cables, Memory and I/O brackets Installing the CPU Pull back the fan frame (Fig 3-9), and install the CPU (Fig 3-10).
III. INTEGRATION Installing the memory Insert the SDRAM (168-pin) into the DIMM socket (Fig 3-11). Fig 3-11: Insert the SDRAM Installing a VGA or PCI add-on card Insert a VGA or PCI add-on card into the PCI slot. III. INTEGRATION Fig 3-12: Insert a VGA/ PCI add-on card Installing the ATX power switch and other signal pins Refer to the P2L97-DS user’s manual to install the ATX power switch pin, system indicator pin, and IDE device indicator pin. (Fig 3-13).
III. Integration Procedures Closing the cover Follow the figures below (Fig 3-15, 3-16, 3-17) to complete the hardware installation. III.
III. Integration Procedures CABLING There are three sets of cables, and their locations are indentified in Fig 3-18 and Fig 3-19. Cabling path for CD-ROM/IDE drives Cabling path for Floppy Cabling path for SCSI hard disk Fig 3-18: Cable locations III.
III. Integration Procedures Installing a slot card To install a slot card with a Hot-Swap drive bay, there are two types of cabling methods as shown below; One is for SAF-TE back plane boards (Fig: 3-20), another is for none SAF-TE back plane boards (Fig: 3-21).
III. Integration Procedures NON SAF-TE back plane boards To install a slot card for a non SAF-TE back plane board, three cables connect to slot card shown below, one (SCSI_ID) for SCSI device and the other two (KEY and PLED) for drive bay.
III. Integration Procedures Indicator lights This section shows that the indicator light (Fig 3-22) specification of both Back Plane Board SAF-TE (Table 3-1) and back plane board non SAF-TE (Table 3-2). Also the Key lock is used to insure the power is entirely being off while Key Lock is opened during the process of hot swap.
III. Integration Procedures Installing SCSI devices Next to previous section, the integrated drive bay shown on Fig: 3-23. Then place the SCSI device on to drive bay and connect necessary cables from both drive bay and slot card to SCSI device including SCSI cable, power cable, access status cable and SCSI ID cable. Especially be sure the 8-pin SCSI ID cable is connecting with correspondent SCSI ID on both SCSI drive and slot card (Fig: 3-24). Finally screw in the SCSI drive with drive bay (Fig: 3-25).
III. Integration Procedures There are types of front covers for floppy, CD-ROM drive, HDD or nothing installed (refer to Fig-27). Finally after drives are being installed, please close or lock the front door of the AP5000 to protect them. Hot-Swap drive bay does not require a cover. Fig 3-27: 3 types of drive covers III.
III. Integration Procedures BACK PLANE BOARD INSTALLATION To install Back Plane Board, first we have to integrate DA-BP4-1(S) with its box, then install on to housing. This section will show you these. Also enclose the specification sets of jumper and switches. Integrating the DA-BP4-1(S) The ASUS DA-BP4-1(S) contains one SCSI connector that will connect to on-board SCSI port of AP5000, and its back has four PCI slots connecting to slot card of drive bay to support 4 SCSI drives.
III. Integration Procedures Integrating with the housing The housing could carry two Back Plane Boards to support eight SCSI drives in total, and the first Back Plane Board has to be placed on lower position of housing (Fig 3-33) and its two notches should connect to the openings housing with no space in between (Fig 3-34), so that it could enlarge the force while inserting the drive bay. The second Back Plane Board also has to use similar method mentioned above for the connection.
III. Integration Procedures Cables Power cable SCSI cable Cable clamp Fig 3-36: Be sure the cable clamps are fixed. III. Integration Video Player Installing the disk drive bay to the back plane board Lift the hold bar up to a 45˚ angle (Fig 3-37). Push in firmly to ensure that the bay is connected to the back plane board (Fig 3-38).
III. Integration Procedures POWER SUPPLY UNIT Fan Power Switches Power Connector Module Handle Power Reset Button Fig 3-39 III. Integration Change Settings Replacements For a defective power system: 1. 2. 3. 4. Remove the side cover (Fig 3-40). Remove the power cable from the cable clamp (Fig 3-41). Unscrew the six screws (Fig 3-42). Carefully remove the power supply from the left side (Fig 3-43).
III. Integration Procedures Fig: 3-41 III.
III. Integration Procedures III. Integration Display Driver For a defective module: 1. Locate the defective module. Continuous beeping from the power supply indicates that there is a defective module. 2. To stop the beeping sound, press the red button located on the power supply (Fig 3-44). 3. Unscrew the screw and release the module (Fig 3-45). 4. Grab the module handle and pull the power supply out towards you (Fig 3-46). 5. Replace with a new module. 6. Secure the new module with screws.
