RMC 7182
1U Rackmount System
1-2 Motherboard Features
The RMC7182 is a single processor motherboard based upon Intel's X58 chipset. Below are the main
features of the RMC7182.
Processor
The RMC7182 supports single Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i7 Extreme processors and future Intel
Nehalem processor families (next generation Intel Xeon® processor). Please refer to the motherboard
specifications pages on our web site for updates on supported processors.
Memory
The RMC7182 has six 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 24 GB of unbuf- fered ECC/non-ECC
DDR2-1333/1066/800 SDRAM.
Onboard SAS
An onboard LSI 1068E SAS controller in integrated into the RMC7182. The hot-swap SAS drives are
connected to a backplane that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID suppor t to enable the hot-swap capabil-
ity and RAID function of the SAS drives. RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported. Refer to the
following ftp site for setup guidelines.
Onboard SATA
ASATAcontroller is built in to the ICH10R portion of the chipset to provide support for a six port, 3 Gb/
sec SerialATAsubsystem.The SATAdrives are hot-swappable units.
PCI Expansion Slots
The RMC7182 has one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot for use in the motherserver.The PCI-E slot is populated
with a riser card (included).
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM
port, a VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gigabit LAN (NIC) ports.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, a chassis intrusion
header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and
BIOS rescue.

RMC 7182
1U Rackmount System
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the RMC7182 chassis.
System Power
When configured as a Acnodes RMC7182, the embedded system chassis includes a single 560W
power supply.
SATA Subsystem
For the RMC7182, the motherboard chassis was designed to support four SAS or SATAhard drives,
which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot- swap capability of the
SAS drives (there is no system support for SATAdrives).
Control Panel
The embedded system's control panel provides important system monitoring and control information.
LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ- ity and system overheat conditions.
The control panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button. The front of the chas-
sis also includes a COM port and two USB serial ports for easy access.
I/O Backplane
The SC113MTS-560C is a short-depth, 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides three PCI
slots, one COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard
ports, two Ethernet (LAN) ports and a UID LED.
Cooling System
The embedded system chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to provide sufficient
cooling for dual CPU configurations. The chassis includes four
4-cm counter-rotating PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) fans located in the middle of the system. There
is a "Fan Speed Control Mode" in BIOS that allows chassis fan speed to be determined by system
temperature.

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get yourAcnodes RMC7182 and running. Following
the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount
of time. This quick setup assumes that your RMC7182 system has come to you with the pro- cessor
and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor,
system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing
specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box theAcnodes RMC7182 was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any
way. If the server 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 theAcnodes RMC7182. It should be situ-
ated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read
the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the RMC7182 was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting
brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in
the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
Choosing a Setup Location
o Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25
inches)and 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 RestrictedAccess Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
o This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices accord- ing to §2 of the the
German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

1U Rackmount System
Rack Precautions
o 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.
o In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
o In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
oAlways make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
o You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si- multaneously may
cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
o Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
o Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
o Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
o 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.
oAllow the power supply units and hot plug SerialATAdrives to cool before touching them.
oAlways keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not
servicing to maintain proper cooling.
