SC747 Chassis Manual Chapter 2 System Safety 2-1 Overview This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your chassis up and running. Following the steps in order given should enable you to have your chassis set up and operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick set up assumes that you are an experienced technician, familiar with common concepts and terminology. 2-2 Warnings and Precautions You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
SC747 Chassis Manual 2-4 Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SC747 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. Do not work alone when working with high-voltage components.
SC747 Chassis Manual • • 2-5 • • • • • Handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the garbage or a public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly. DVD-ROM laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive.
SC747 Chassis Manual 2-6 System Safety 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.
SC747 Chassis Manual 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 Chassis may include any one of the following three options: • One fixed 3.5" hard drive. • Up to four fixed 2.5" hard drives.
SC747 Chassis Manual Mounting Rails (optional) The SC747 can be placed in a rack for secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions included in this manual. Power Supply Each SC747 chassis model includes an (80%+) Gold Level 1400W redundant (1+1) power supply, rated at 1400 Watts in standard or super-quiet models. In the unlikely event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be done without tools.
SC747 Chassis Manual Chapter 4 System Interface 4-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. SC747 models have two buttons on the chassis a control panel, a power on/off button and a reset button. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
SC747 Chassis Manual 4-2 Control Panel Buttons There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are a power on/off button and a reset button. • • 4-3 Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. 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. Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system.
SC747 Chassis Manual • • NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not flashing) 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.
SC747 Chassis Manual 4-4 Drive Carrier LEDs Your chassis uses SAS/SATA drives. SAS/SATA Drives Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs. • • Green: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green 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. Red: The red LED indicates a SAS/SATA drive failure.
