Chapter 3: Chassis Components Chapter 3 Chassis Components 3-1 Overview This chapter describes the most common components included with your chassis. Some components listed may not be included or compatible with your particular chassis model. For more information, see the installation instructions detailed later in this manual. 3-2 Components Chassis The SCF418 chassis is available in a variety of configurations. For more information, visit our Web site at: http://www.supermicro.com.
SCF418 Chassis Manual Air Shroud The SCF418 chassis requires air shrouds for each node to direct the airflow where cooling is needed. The air shroud will differ for different motherboards. If using a motherboard which is not the default in the chassis, refer to the optional parts in the Appendix of this manual, or the Supermicro web site at www.supermicro.com to puchase the proper air shroud. 3-3 Where to get Replacement Components Although not frequently, you may need replacement parts for your system.
Chapter 4: System Interface Chapter 4 System Interface 4-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SCF418 models with rear I/O (left image below) include four control panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the nodes. SCF418 chassis with front I/O (right image below) have a power button LED and a UID indicator, with additional LED indicators directly on the motherboard.
SCF418 Chassis Manual 4-2 • • 4-3 Control Panel Buttons Power: The main power button on each of the four control panels is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to each of the four systems in the chassis. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug system before servicing. The poer button has a built-in LED which will turn green when the power is on.
Chapter 4: System Interface • 4-4 NIC: Indicates network activity on either LAN1 or LAN2 when flashing. Drive Carrier LEDs The SCF418 chassis uses SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. • • Blue: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a blue LED. When illuminated, this blue LED (on the front of the SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

Chapter 6: Rack Installation Chapter 6 Rack Installation 6-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup to install the SCF418 chassis into a rack. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system installed within a minimal amount of time. 6-2 Unpacking the System You should inspect the box which the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
SCF418 Chassis Manual 6-4 • Warnings and Precautions Rack Precautions 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. • In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. • In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. • • • • • • • • Always make sure that the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
Chapter 6: Rack 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).
SCF418 Chassis Manual 6-5 Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided.
