Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Chassis Features
The SC731i-300B is a mini-tower chassis with a unique design that allows most
configurations to be performed without the need for tools The following is a general
outline of the main features of the SC731i-300B chassis.
System Power
The SC731i-300B features a high-efficiency 300W power supply. Power must be
removed from the system before servicing or replacing the power supply.
SATA Subsystem
The chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives (these drives are not
hot-swappable).
Front Control Panel
The control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate
network activity, hard disk drive activity and overheat conditions. The control panel
also includes a main power button, which has a blue LED that illuminates when
the system is powered on.
I/O Backplane
The I/O backplane includes two COM ports, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and
keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports. Three standard size PCI expansion
cards (the maximum number supported by the motherboard) may be added to the
system.
Cooling System
The SC731i-300B chassis includes one whisper-quiet 9-cm exhaust fan located
at the rear of the chassis and an 8-cm fan located in the power supply. Both fans
operate continuously.

Chapter 2
System Setup
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5038D-i up
and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimal amount of time. If your system is not already ful-
ly 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 5038D-i 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 setting up and operating the SuperServer 5038D-i.
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.
2-3 Warnings and Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• 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 Serial ATA drives to cool before touching
them.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed when not
being serviced.

Chapter 3
System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are four LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of the
overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components.
The control panel also is where to find the main power on/off button.
3-2 Control Panel Button
Power
The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must
unplug system before servicing.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC731I-300B chassis has four LEDs.
These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the
system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any
corrective action you may need to take.
HDD
This LED indicates IDE channel activity, SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity
when flashing.

3-2
SUPERSERVER 5038D-i User's Manual
NIC
Indicates network activity on the Gigabit LAN port when flashing.
Overheat/Fan Fail
When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously (on and not
flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables ob-
structing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm.
Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating
normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed.
Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED
will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.
Power On
A blue LED located behind the main power button is illuminated when the system
is powered on and running.
