Server Chassis Features
The StorTrends 3200 Storage Appliance is a high performance chassis that includes the
following features:
Hard Drives
The StorTrends 3200 Storage Appliance Chassis features 16 slots for SAS/SATA drives.
These drives are hot swappable. In other words, once setup correctly, these drives can be
removed without powering down the server. In addition, these drives support SES2
(SAS/SATA).
I/O Expansion slots
The StorTrends 3200 Storage Appliance Chassis includes 7 full I/O expansion slots.
Peripheral Drives
The StorTrends 3200 Storage Appliance Chassis supports one slim DVD-ROM Drive
(included). This drive allow you to quickly install the StorTrends iTX Software.
Other Features
Other onboard features are included to promote system health. These include five cooling
fans, a power switch, reset button, and LED indicators.

Chipset Overview
Built upon the functionality and the capability of the 5000P chipset, the Server Board
provides the performance and feature set required for dual processor-based servers with
configuration options optimized for communications, presentation, storage, computation
and database applications. The 5000P chipset supports single or dual 64-bit dual core
processor(s) with front side bus speeds of up to 1.333 GHz/1.066 GHz/677 MHz. The
chipset consists of the 5000P Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the Enterprise South
Bridge 2 (ESB2), and the I/O subsystem (PXH).
The 5000P MCH chipset is designed for symmetric multiprocessing across two
independent front side bus interfaces. Each front side bus uses a 64-bit wide, 1333 MHz
data bus that transfers data at 10.7 GB/sec. (for a total bandwidth of 21.3GB/sec). The
MCH chipset connects up to eight Fully Buffered DIMM modules, providing a total
memory bandwidth of 32 GB/s for DDR2 533/667. The MCH chipset also provides one
x8 PCI-Express and one x4 ESI interfaces to the ESB2. In addition, the 5000P chipset
offers a wide range of RAS features, including memory interface ECC, x4/x8 Single
Device Data Correction, CRC, parity protection, memory mirroring and memory sparing.
The Xeon Dual Core Processor Features
Designed to be used with conjunction of the 5000P chipset, the Xeon dual core Processor
provides a feature set as follows:
The Xeon Dual Core Processors
•L1 Cache Size: Instruction Cache (32KB/16KB), Data Cache (32KB/24KB)
•L2 Cache Size: 4MB/2MB (per core)
•Data Bus Transfer Rate: 8.5 GB/s
•Package: FC-LGA6/FC-LGA4, 771 Lands
Chapter Two : Chassis Set Up 5
Chapter 2 Chassis Set Up
Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your StorTrends 3200 up 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 3200 system has
come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. These instructions also assume
that you are an experienced technician, familiar with common concepts and terminology.
Unpacking the StorTrends 3200
You should inspect the box the StorTrends 3200 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 the StorTrends 3200. 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.
You will also need it placed near at least two grounded power outlets. The StorTrends
3200 includes two redundant power supplies which require two grounded outlets.
Preparing for Setup
The StorTrends 3200 includes a set of rail assemblies, including mounting brackets and
mounting screws you will need to install the systems into the rack. Please read this
document in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure.
StorTrends® 3200 User’s Guide
6
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).
Warning
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 a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
•In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
•Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
•You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
•Review the electrical and general safety precautions located in this guide.
•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 up.
•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 power supply units and hot plug SAS drives to cool before touching
them.
•Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
Feature Description
Ambient Operating
Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient
operating temperature 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
temperature (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 connections other than the direct connections to the
branch circuit (for example, the use of power strips, and so on.).

rack rails provided. If the StorTrends 3200 has already been mounted into a rack, you can
skip this step.
There are a variety of rack units on the market that may mean the assembly procedure
will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with
the rack unit you are using.

Outer Rack Rails
Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for the
StorTrends 3200 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.
To install the Outer Rack Rails
Steps Description
1 Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of
the rack.
2 Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a
long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.
3 Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that
the rail can fit snugly into the rack.
4 Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two
M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with
three M4 screws.
5 Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

Installing the Chassis into the Server Rack
Installing the chassis into a rack
Steps Description
1 Confirm that the inner and outer rails are installed on the rack.
2 Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
3 Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even
on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when
inserting). When the server has been pushed completely into the
rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".
4 (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front
of the server to the rack.
