2. Important Safety Information Only a technically qualified person shall access, integrate, configure, and service this product. To avoid personal injury or property damage, read, observe, and adhere to all of the following safety instructions and information before you begin installing the product. 2.1 Intended application uses This product was evaluated as information technology equipment (ITE), which may be installed in offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations.
2.3 Earth-grounded socket outlets CAUTION To avoid electrical shock, the system power cord(s) must be plugged into socket-outlet(s) that is provided with a suitable earth ground. The system will be provided with the following marking: Connect only to properly earthed socket outlet. 2.
2.7 Cooling and Airflow CAUTION For proper cooling and airflow, always install all access covers before turning on the system. Operating the system for longer than five minutes without the covers in place can cause overheating and damage to system components. 2.8 Battery CAUTION Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batterries according to the instructions.
3. System Installation 3.1 Preparing for Setup 3.1.1 Unpacking ① Main Box ② Slide Rail Box ③ Heatsink Pad 8 ④ Accessory Box ⑤ Heatsink Box ⑥ System Bottom Cushion ⑦ XtremeServer 1332 System ⑧ System Top Cushion 7 6 5 4 1 3 2 CAUTION In setting the product out of the box, hold it in the middle and not the cushion. Depending on the weight of the product, two people together should lift it.
3.1.2 Packing List Unpack the package and check if all items listed below are present. If any item contained in the package is damaged or missing, please contact your local dealer for replacement. In addition, keep the box and packing materials for possible future use.
3.1.3 Environmental Specifications Place In front of the system, minimum 25" of the space is needed for using and managing the system. In rear of the system, minimum 30" of the space is needed for managing the system and airflow. Power supply Before installing the system, check the power capacity of the place where the system is installed. Grounding The system should be grounded. Temperature The system should be installed where the airflow and temperature is proper.
3.1.4 Install Rail for Mounting the System on the Rack This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit with the slide rails provided. Slide Rail Slide rails consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed slide rail that secures directly to the rack itself. You should have received outer slide rails in the rack mounting kit.
Installing the Outer Rails As shown in picture below, put the rear of outer rail on right place of the rear-mounting frame, and fit it on the front-mounting frame. You can fit the outer rails on the rack very easily and then eventually you can reduce the assembly time. Finally, secure it with M6 screws, just rear side only.
3.1.5 Install System at the Rack CAUTION Remove all the cables from system before installing. CAUTION System can be heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, get help to lift and stabilize the system during installation or removal, especially when the system is not fastened to the rails. ① Lift the system to slide of rack. ② Set the system on the slide rail of rack. ③ Slide the system into the rack. ④ Pull it out, pressing both levers on the inner slide rails simultaneously.
3.2 Installing User Serviceable Component 3.2.1 CPU System mainboard accommodates AMD OpteronTM micro-PGA Socket 940 processors at 2000 MT (Mega Transfer per second). You must insert a CPU into CPU socket 0 (CPU0) first before installing one in CPU socket 1 (CPU1). The correct CPU installation sequence is CPU0, CPU1. CAUTION If you are using 1322VA-02, 1322ES-01 model, you must surely use two CPU for appropriate operation. Follow these instructions to install the CPU.
③ Lower the locking lever and latching it into the fully locked position.
3.2.2 Memory The system mainboard uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). Two pair's banks are available; each bank supports one CPU with Hyper Transport Technology. The memory DIMMs accommodates PC2100/2700/3200(DDR266/DDR333/DDR400) and Double Data Rate Memory (DDR) memory modules in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB, 4GB combinations. Total memory size for one mainboard is up to 64GB. CAUTION The system mainboard has strict memory type and timing requirements.
NOTICE How do we distinguish between single-rank and double-rank registered DDR DIMM Modules? Both x4 and x8 registered DIMMs come in single-rank (single-sided) and double-rank (double-sided) configurations. A single-rank x8 ECC DDR DIMM has 9 devices on the module and comes in two different styles. A double-rank x4 ECC DDR DIMM has 36 devices in a stacked configuration on the module.
(Example 3) 184-Pin Double-Rank x8 ECC DDR SDRAM DIMM x8 Devive Front Register PLL Register x8 Devive Back (Example 4) 184-Pin Single-Rank x4 ECC DDR SDRAM DIMM x4 Devive Front Register PLL Register x4 Devive Back (Example 5) 184-Pin Double-Rank x4 ECC DDR SDRAM DIMM x4 Devive Stacked Device Front Register PLL Register x4 Devive Back 26
3.2.2.1 Memory Installation Procedure ① Locate the DIMM modules UNIWIDE DIMM 7 DIMM 0 DIMM 0 DIMM 7 ② Make sure the DIMM's pins are facing down, and check that the pin arrangement on the memory module resembles the one pictured below. 80 Pins 104 Pins CAUTION Always populate H0 DIMM socket before installing memory modules in the H1 DIMM sockets.
③ Insert the module into the socket and press down evenly on both ends firmly until the DIMM is securely in place. (The tabs of the DIMM socket will close-up to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM is properly installed into the socket.
3.2.3 Hard Disk Drives NOTICE When you install hard disk drive into the system, we recommend using slot #0 first.
3.2.4 PCI Add-on Cards WARNING Please power off your power supply completely when adding removing any expansion card or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion card. WARNING Please again check add-on card type when adding expansion card to slot. PCI-X slot can't support exclusive 5V add-on card. 3.2.4.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure ① Pull out the latch toward the direction as shown in picture below and rotate the latch clockwise.
