1-3 Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required be-
fore 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.super-

micro.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
chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does
not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages in-
curred 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 6: Rack Installation
Chapter 6
Rack Installation
6-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup to get your chassis up and running. Following
these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational
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.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. The system needs
to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
6-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and
the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included
is an optional square hole to round hole converter bracket, for use in racks with
round mounting holes. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the
installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
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 and the like).
6-1
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.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-
multaneously 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 upwards.
• 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 plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
ing them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
6-2
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).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
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.
6-3
6-5 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right
side of the chassis.

Extending Power Cables

Although Supermicro chassis are designed to be efficient and cost-effective, some
compatible motherboards have power connectors located in different areas.
To use these motherboards you may have to extend the power cables to the mother
boards. To do this, use the following chart as a guide.
Power Cable Extenders

Number of Pins Cable Part # Length
24-pin CBL-0042 7.9” (20 cm)
20-pin CBL-0059 7.9” (20 cm)
8-pin CBL-0062 7.9” (20 cm)
4-pin CBL-0060 7.9” (20 cm)
Front Panel to the Motherboard

The SC216 chassis includes a cable to connect the chassis front panel to the
motherboard. If your motherboard uses a different connector, use the following list
to find a compatible cable.

E-1 ESD Safety Guidelines

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage
to your system, it is important to handle the backplane very carefully. The following
measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the backplane and daughter cards by their edges only; do not touch the
components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

• Put the backplane and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in
use.
E-2 General Safety Guidelines

• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components

from the computer, including the backplane.
backplane.
• Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the mother-
board to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.

E-11 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs

The SAS-216EL 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.
SAS HBA
In a dual host bus configuration, the
SAS HBA
backplane connects to two HBA's.

E-13 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 power control card with no motherboard and no HBA. For
more information, specific chassis manuals are available at www.supermicro.com.
