Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC822S-400LP/
SC822TQ-400LP chassis.
System Power
When configured as the 5025B-4/5025B-T, the SC822S-400LP/SC822TQ-400LP
chassis includes a single 400W power supply.
SCSI Subsystem (5025B-4 only)
The SCSI subsystem supports six 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Any
standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection Attachment.) The SCSI
drives are connected to an SCA backplane that provides power, bus termination and
configuration settings. The SCSI drives are also hot-swap units.
Control Panel
The SC822S-400LP/SC822TQ-400LP control panel provides important system
monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard
disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power
button and a system reset button.
I/O Backplane
The backplane of the SC822S-400LP/SC822TQ-400LP supports the use of up to
seven low-profile expansion cards and provides one COM port, one VGA port, two
USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gb Ethernet (LAN) ports.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5025B-
4/5025B-T up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your SuperServer 5025B-4/5025B-T system has come to you
with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully
integrated with a motherboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to
the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific compo-
nents.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5025B-4/5025B-T 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 SuperServer 5025B-
4/5025B-T. 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 a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and
Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 5025B-4/5025B-T 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.

Warnings and Precautions!
Choosing a Setup Location
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 Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
•
•
•
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 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 si-
multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-3
Allow the hot plug SATA 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.
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.).

SUPERSERVER 5025B-4/5025B-T Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5025B-4/5025B-T
into a rack unit. If the 5025B-4/5025B-T has already been mounted into a rack, you
can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the 5025B-
4/5025B-T into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the
installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer 5025B-
4/5025B-T. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the 5025B-4/5025B-T (A) and an outer fixed rack rail
that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between
the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B
rails must be detached from each other to install.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear
a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks
the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do
this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position one of the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5025B-4/5025B-T. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Slide the rail
toward the front of the chassis (see arrows in Figure 2-2) until you hear them click
into place with the retention hooks on the chassis. The screw holes should now be
aligned - screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2).
Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will
also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also
lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5025B-4/5025B-T in the rack.
(See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fixed rack rail/sliding
rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide
facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the
brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making
sure both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

2-6
SUPERSERVER 5025B-4/5025B-T Manual
Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next
step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. 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). See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold
the front of the server to the rack.
