Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MR
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 5014C-MR system has come to you with the processor and memory prein-
stalled. 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 the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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 5014C-
MR. 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 SuperServer 5014C-MR does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as
the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail
package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in
the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time.
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure
outlined in the sections that follow.

2-2
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MR User's Manual
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).
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 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.
-
Allow the power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drive to cool before
touching them.
- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the serv-
ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Warnings and Precautions!

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-3
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 5014C-MR User's Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
(Rack hardware optional)
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5014C-MR into a
rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
Basic Installation Procedure
The 5014C-MR server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on
each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw
these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
Installing with Rackmount Kit
This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).
Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the
chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1).
This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
