About This Guide This guide tells you how to remove and install field replaceable units (FRUs) internal to the server. Only trained or qualified technical personnel should work inside the chassis. Note: Information on the server’s system setup utility (SSU) and replacement of external devices are covered in the SGI 1400 Server Family User’s Guide.
Chapter 1 1. Working Inside the System Tools and Supplies Needed • Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#1 and #2 bit). • Small flat-bladed screwdriver. • Jumper removal tool or needle-nosed pliers. • Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended). • Pen or pencil. • Equipment log: as you integrate new parts into the system, add information about them to your equipment log, see Appendix A.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System Warnings and Cautions These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the access cover of the system. Only a technically qualified person should integrate and configure the system. Warning: SYSTEM POWER ON/OFF: The on/off button on the front panel DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cords from the wall outlet or the system.
Removing the System Access Cover Removing the System Access Cover You need to remove the system access cover, and in some cases the front bezel, to reach components inside the system. Facing the front of the system, the access cover is on the right side for pedestal-mounted (tower) servers, and on the top for rack-mounted servers. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system. 3.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System 5. Connect all external cables and the power cords to the system.
Working in the Subchassis and Electronics Bay Working in the Subchassis and Electronics Bay The chassis is comprised of three parts: • the main chassis • a swing-out subchassis at the front • a swing-out subchassis, called the electronics bay, at the rear To access components in some instances, you must swing away and/or completely remove the subchassis and electronics bay. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System 10. Using the vertical edge of the electronics bay as a handle, rotate the bay right, away from the main chassis, until it stops. 11. If necessary, completely remove the subchassis and electronics bay: this requires rotating the bays outward until the two pins that function as hinges for the bays slide out of their slots. Set the bays aside.
Installing PCI Boards Installing PCI Boards The information in this section covers installation of optional PCI boards. Caution: Do not overload baseboard: Do not overload the baseboard by installing optional PCI boards that draw excessive current. Contact your sales or service representative if you are uncertain that a board is approved for installation in the server. PCI boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System 1 2 3 Figure 1-3 Installing a PCI option Board Components shown in Figure 1-3 are: 1. PCI or ISA slot 2. Six PCI slots (top to bottom in figure = PCI B4, B3, B2, B1, A3, and A2) 3. PCI slot A1 (Use five inch-length (12.
Removing a PCI option Board Removing a PCI option Board Note: Slot covers must be installed on all vacant expansion slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 1. Read and observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Disconnect any cables attached to the board you are removing. 3. Remove and save the screw that attaches the existing board retaining bracket to the chassis. 4.

Peripheral Drives Peripheral Drives The following sections provide information on internally mounted drives and cables. Drive Cabling Considerations This section summarizes device cabling requirements and constraints. The number of devices you can install internally depends on: • The number supported by the bus • The number of physical drive bays available • The height of drives in the internal bays (1-inch or 1.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System SCSI Requirements One narrow and two wide SCSI cables are standard in the system. All SCSI devices must be unterminated except the peripheral at the end of the SCSI cable. Hard drives usually provide an active termination, while CD-ROM drives do not. Because we recommend putting hard drives only in the internal bays, this means that you should route the SCSI cable so that the last device on the cable is a hard drive in the internal bay. Installing 5.
Peripheral Drives It is important that your cabling and connections meet the SCSI bus specification. Otherwise, the bus could be unreliable and data corruption could occur or devices might not work at all. The SCSI bus needs to be terminated at the end of the cable; this is usually provided by the last SCSI device on the cable. Use the following steps when installing a 5.25-inch peripheral: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.

Chapter 1: Working Inside the System Installing or Replacing the SCSI-B Cable The cable for channel B has two labels. The channel B cable connects from the SCSI-B connector on the baseboard to one of the external ports at the back of the server. If you are uncertain which connector on the baseboard is SCSI B, see Figure 4-1 in Chapter 4, “Technical Reference.” Before you install or replace the SCSI-B cable, read and heed all the safety warnings at the beginning of this chapter.
Peripheral Drives 10. Reinstall the back foam cover. As you do, position the SCSI cable so that it routes to the electronics bay through the cutout in the back foam cover. The dotted arrow in Figure 1-10 shows where the cable must go. 11. Position the cable along the recess in the back foam cover. 12. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws. 13. Connect all AC power and peripheral device cables to the back of the system.

External SCSI-B connection 6. SCSI knockout cover System Fans The SGI 1400 server contains eight removable chassis fans that cool the boards and removable media drives. These chassis fans connect to the front panel board and are enclosed in a removable foam assembly.
System Fans 5. Label and disconnect the individual fan cables from the front panel board. 6. Remove the fan assembly from the chassis.
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System Installing the System Fan Assembly 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning this chapter. 2. Position the fan assembly inside the chassis so that the individual fan cables can easily reach their connectors on the front panel board. 3. Reconnect the individual fan cables, being careful to match each cable with its correct connector on the front panel board. 4.
System Fans Note: The two installed fans nearest the 5.25-inch drive bays (fans 6 and 7) are separated by a square piece of foam (the piece with a crescent-shaped hole) that extends perpendicularly from the front of the fans (it is the rectangle between the round faces of fans 6 and 7). You must remove this piece to access the two fans it separates (pull it straight out).
Chapter 1: Working Inside the System Installing an Individual System Fan Note: A general rule about correct airflow direction: The removable fan pulls air from in front of the chassis so that it flows across the boards and out the back. Thus, the fan must be oriented for the correct airflow direction. In general, the fan’s label is on the side from which air EXITS the fan.
The Power Share Board The Power Share Board The server comes with three power supplies already installed for highest power availability. If one supply fails, the system can operate using two until a replacement is installed. Your SGI 1400 system has a power share board (PSB). The PSB supports one to three supplies. You can replace an existing power share board by purchasing a kit through your SGI 1400 customer sales or service representative. The following sections describe how to replace a PSB.

Chapter 2: Upgrading Baseboard Components Installing a Processor Use Figure 2-6 and the following steps when installing a new or additional processor. Note: If your system has less than four processors and you are adding one, then you must remove the termination board in the empty Slot 2 connector. The procedure for removing a termination board is the same as for removing a processor. If you plan to reduce the number of processors in your system, then you must replace a processor with a termination board.
Processors 7. Reinstall the foam cover. 8. Reinstall the access cover using the original screws. 3 2 Figure 2-6 4 1 Installing a Processor Figure 2-6 shows the following components: 1. S.E.C cartridge 2. Retention module guide rails 3. Tabs on the S.E.C. cartridge 4.
Chapter 2: Upgrading Baseboard Components Installing the Processor Tabs Depending on your configuration, the tabs for the processor’s S.E.C. cartridge might not be attached to the cartridge. In this case, you must attach two tabs to each S.E.C. cartridge as directed in the following steps: 1. Orient the tab as shown in Figure 2-7. 2. Two small round pegs at the center of the tab correspond with two round holes at each corner of the S.E.C. cartridge, see Figure 2-7.
Processors Installing Processor Heatsinks Depending on your configuration, the heatsink for each processor’s S.E.C. cartridge might not be attached to the cartridge. In this case, you must attach one heatsink to each S.E.C. cartridge. Use Figure 2-8 and the following steps: 1. Remove the heatsink from its protective cover. 2. Pull the tab on the bottom of the heatsink to remove the plastic film and expose the square of adhesive thermal grease that will help attach the heatsink to the S.E.C. cartridge.

Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed. After you have completed the six safety steps above, you can remove the system covers. To do this: 1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system if a padlock has been installed. 2.
Cautions When Removing the Chassis Covers The system is designed to operate in a typical lab, server room, or office environment. Choose a site that is: • Clean and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust). • Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight. • Away from sources of vibration or physical shock. • Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
