1-4 Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before
any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your vendor
for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to the
manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of
the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling
charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service is complete.
For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.
supermicro.com/support/rma/).
Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the
original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the

not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages
incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Chapter 5: Rack Intallation
Chapter 5
Rack Installation
This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack.
5-1 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered it.
5-2 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet.
is required
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack.
Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door
completely.
• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
for sufficient airflow and access for servicing.
• It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room
or a service closet.
5-1
5-3 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.
• Only one chassis should be extended from the rack at a time. Extending two
or more chassis simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
General Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the com-
ponents you are adding to your chassis.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work upward.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
• Allow the hot-swappable hard drives and power supply modules to cool be-
fore touching them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the serv-
ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
5-2
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-

ture 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 tempera-
ture (TMRA).
Sufficient Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power

supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).
Warning: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a

rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
• Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
5-3
5-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the server into a rack with the rails
provided. There are a variety of racks on the market, so the assembly procedure
may differ slightly. Refer to the installation instructions that came with your rack.
Note: These rails fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies, one designed and labeled for
each side of the chassis. Each assembly consists of an inner rail that secures
directly to the chassis, and an outer rail that secures to the rack. The outer rail has
two sections that can slide and adjust to fit your rack depth.
Right Side
Outer Rail
Right Side
Inner Rail
Figure 5-1. Identifying the Rails
5-4
Releasing the Inner Rail

Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming
completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails.
Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails
1. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated below.
2. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
3. Pull the inner rail all the way out..

Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis

Installing the Inner Rails
1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled.
2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on
the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
3. Slide the inner rail forward toward the front of the chassis until the quick release
bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the chassis.
4. Optionally, you can further secure the inner rail to the chassis with screws. .

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Installing the Outer Rails
1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front
of the rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the
posts of the rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the
rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level.
If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
6. Repeat for the other outer rail.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack
must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Do not use a two post "telco" type rack.
5-7
Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails

Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to
support the chassis during installation. Please follow safety recommendations
printed on the rails.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.
2. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides. When the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should
click into the locked position.
3. Optionally, screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.
Figure 5-6. Installing into a Rack
Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to
the bottom of the rack first.
Caution: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.

C-2 Safety Guidelines
ESD Safety Guidelines

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the backplane by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the backplane and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
General Safety Guidelines

• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the backplane.
• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the
backplane.
• Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the
motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs

The BPN-SAS2-836EL backplane may be configured for failover with multiple HBAs
using either RAID controllers or HBAs to achieve failover protection.
RAID Controllers: If RAID controllers are used, the failover is accomplished through
port failover on the same RAID card.
HBAs: If multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection and load balancing,
Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform
the load balancing and failover tasks.

Assembly
Figure 2EL-16. Dual Port Internal Cable (CBL-0168L)
Cable Name: SAS Dual-port Cable Assembly, 68/76 cm

Ports: Dual
Description: Internal cascading cable. Connects the backplane to the HBA or
external port. Used in dual port environments.

Part #: CBL-0166L Placement: External cable
Description: External cascading cable. Connects ports between servers. Use one
cable for single port connections and two cables for dual port connections.
C-38
Supported Cascading Configurations

Cascading allows the system to access data at a faster rate by allowing several
backplanes to share resources to reduce latency time.
The first backplane in a cascaded system requires a motherboard and an HBA.
Other servers require a JBOD Control Board but with no motherboard and no HBA.

Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs

The BPN-SAS3-836EL backplane may be configured for failover with multiple HBAs
using either RAID controllers or HBAs to acheive failover protection.
RAID Controllers: If RAID controllers are used, then the failover is accomplished
through port failover on the same RAID card.
HBAs: If multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection and load balancing,
Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform the load
balancing and failover tasks.
Dual Host Bus

SAS HBA
Adapter
In a dual host bus configuration, the
SAS HBA
backplane connects to two HBAs.
