1.4 Where to Get Replacement Components
If you need replacement parts for your system, to ensure the highest level of professional
service and technical support, purchase exclusively from our Supermicro Authorized
Distributors/System Integrators/Resellers. A list can be found at: http://www.supermicro.com.
Click the "Where to Buy" link.
1.5 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.

Rack Installation
This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a rack.
2.1 Preparing for Setup
The box in which the system was shipped should include the hardware needed to install it
into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
Choosing a Setup Location
• The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely
(~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
• This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment
rooms, service closets, etc.).
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Rack Precautions
•
the full weight of the rack rests 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 the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from
the rack.
• Extend only one server or component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously
may cause the rack to become unstable.

Chapter 2 Rack Installation
Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in the appendix, "Standardized Safety
Warnings" in this manual.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
•
way up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the
servers closed to maintain proper cooling.
Rack Mounting Considerations
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 room's ambient temperature. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with
the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Airow
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 power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should
be used when addressing this concern.
Supermicro CSE-515B Chassis User's Manual
12
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 (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
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.
•
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.

Note: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
First, it locks the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (its normal
operating position. In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from
the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when pulled out
for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Inner Rails Attached
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull
the system from a rack only.
Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
