Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1020S-8 up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your 1020S-8 system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Choosing a Setup Location - Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches). - Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. - This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
Chapter 2: Server Installation 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 (Tmra).
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 2-4 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. 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.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached - one to each side of the chassis. Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided. Chassis Rail 2 should be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2). Do this for both sides of the chassis. Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rails Figure 2-2.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the 1020S-8 into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Figure 2-4.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 1020S-8 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the server (see Figure 2-5) First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-5. Accessing the Inside of the 1020S-8 2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives have been properly installed and all connections have been made. 1. Accessing the drive bays All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 4. Check the airflow Airflow is provided by four 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct the airflow to the components that generate the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fans. 5. Supplying power to the system The last thing you must do is to provide power to the system.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface 3-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive carriers 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 chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 3-3 Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC813S-500 chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take. Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure.
Chapter 3: System Interface HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the 1020S-8, this light indicates SCSI and/or CD-ROM drive activity when flashing. Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. 3-4 SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual Notes 3-4
Chapter 4: System Safety Chapter 4 System Safety 4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions ! Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the AS1020S-8 from damage: 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.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (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. CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CDROM drive.
Chapter 4: System Safety 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.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 4-4 Operating Precautions ! Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1020S-8 is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 1020S-8 system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Chapter 5 Advanced Serverboard Setup This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the H8DSR-8 serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 5-2 Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis All serverboards and motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the serverboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the serverboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in or are screwed in tightly. 1.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 2. Use your thumb and your index finger to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on the CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU. Both are marked with a triangle. 3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket. 4.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Installing the Heatsinks To install the heatsink (SNK-P0012, optional), do not apply any thermal compound to the heatsink or CPU die - the proper amount has already been applied. Place the heatsink directly on the CPU so that the two mounting holes are aligned with those on the CPU backplate.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 5-4 Connecting Cables Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables. Connecting Data Cables The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Connecting the Control Panel JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-2 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators and refer to section 5-9 for details. Note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header. All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1.
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Figure 5-3. Rear Panel I/O Ports 5-6 Installing Memory CAUTION Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules to prevent any possible damage. 1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, beginning with CPU1 slot 1A, then 1B, etc.. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 5-4). See support information below. 2.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Optimizing memory performance If two processors are installed, it is better to stagger pairs of DIMMs across both sets of CPU DIMM slots, e.g. first populate CPU1 slots 1A and 1B, then CPU2 slots 1A, and 1B, then the next two CPU1 slots, etc. This balances the load over both CPUs to optimize performance. Maximum memory (two CPUs): 32 GB for DDR333/266 and 16 GB for DDR400. If only one CPU is installed, maximum supported memory is halved (16 GB for DDR333/266 and 8 GB for DDR400).

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup 6-3 System Fans Four 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the 1020S-8. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels. These fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7).
AS1020S-8 User's Manual Figure 6-2. Removing the Fan Housing 6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal Accessing the Drive Bays SCSI Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SCSI drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. Note: You must use standard 3.5" SCSI drives in the 1020S-8.
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup SCSI Drive Installation 1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives The SCSI drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM and floppy drive bays. The 1020S-8 accomodates only slim CD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim CD-ROM drive in the server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or CD-ROM drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack.
AS1020S-8 User's Manual 6-5 Power Supply The AS1020S-8 has a single 500 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable.
