1. Introduction
The key objective for UniServer is to overcome the major challenges faced by developers, and system integrators
alike, in deploying ideal server solutions to the market. Although many, key challenges are identified as reliability,
performance, value, scalability and manageability. UniServer offers the best in class for each of these challenges
by employing the latest technology designed by a specialized sever team.
The UniServer S1522 1U Rackmount Server is a high-performance barebone system powered by dual AMD®OpteronTM
processors, nVIDIA®nForce Professional 2200 & 2050, AMD 8132 PCI-X Tunnel chipset, ADM 1026 Hardware
Monitoring Chip.
In addition, 8 DIMM sockets are supported per CPU. This first-in-industry feature increases the performance/value
mix by reducing the cost of system memory by up to 100% over competition. In line with extreme processing and
data buffering capability, UniServer is equipped with both PCI-Express and PCI-X slots and SATA II with RAID 0, 1,
0+1 support. For those preferring SAS devices, 2-slot SAS with RAID option is available. Data transfer is optimized with
on-board dual PCI-Express Gigabit Ethernet ports.
Server management feature is unrivaled by utilizing its dedicated BMC with IPMI 2.0 based ServerDome.
A remote management suit handles all aspects of deployment, management and monitoring of UniServer at an
individual or aggregate level. Last but not least, UniServer is cable-less and tool-less integration. This well thought out
packaging keeps all variations of UniServer ultra cool and easy to maintain, thus, optimizing on reliability and TCO.

2. Important Safety
Only a technically qualified person shall access, integrate, configure, and service this product.
To avoid personal injury or property damage, read, observe, and adhere to all of the following safety instructions
and information before you begin installing the product.
2.1 Intended Application Uses
This product was evaluated as information technology equipment (ITE), which may be installed in offices, schools,
computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The suitability of this product for other product categories
and environment (such as medial, industrial, alarm systems, and test equipment), other than an ITE application,
may require further evaluation.
2.2 Checking the Power Cord
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock, check the power cord(s) that will be used with the product:
Do not attempt to modify or use the AC power cord(s) if they are not the exact type required.
If a power cord is not compatible with the AC wall outlet in your region, get one that meets the following
criteria:
zThe power cord must be properly rated for the AC voltage in your region.
zThe power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least 125% of the
electrical current rating of the product.
zThe power cord plug cap that plugs into the wall socket-outlet must have a grounding type male
plug designed for use in your region.
zThe power cord must have safety certifications for your region, and shall be marked with the
certification markings.
zThe power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply must be an IEC
320, sheet C13, type female connector.
zIn Europe, the power cord must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long, and it must be flexible
<HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage to comply with the chassis' safety certification
The power supply cord(s) is the main disconnect device to AC power.
The socket outlet(s) shall be near the equipment and shall be readily accessible for disconnection.

12
2.3 Earth-Grounded Socket Outlets
CAUTION
To avoid electrical shock, the system power cord(s) must be plugged into socket-outlet(s) that is
provided with a suitable earth ground. The system will be provided with the following marking:
zConnect only to properly earthed socket outlet.
2.4 Before Removing the Access Covers
CAUTION
To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following safety instructions apply whenever
accessing inside the product:
zTurn off all peripheral devices connected to this product.
zTurn off the system by pressing the power button on the front of the product.
zDisconnect the AC power by unplugging all AC power cords from the system or wall outlet.
zDisconnect all cables and telecommunication lines that are connected to the system.
zRetain all screws or other fasteners when removing access cover(s). Upon completion of accessing
inside the product, refasten access cover with original screws or fasteners.
zDo not access inside power supply. There are no serviceable parts in the power supply.
zReturn to manufacturer for servicing.
2.5 Fans
CAUTION
To avoid injury, do not contact moving fan blades.
2.6 Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION
Perform the procedures in this product guide only at an electrostatic discharge (ESD) workstation, because the
server components can be extremely sensitive to ESD. If no such station is available, you can reduce the risk
of electrostatic discharge ESD damage by doing the following.
zWear an antistatic wrist strap and attach it to a metal part of the server.
zTouch the metal on the server chassis before touching the server components.
zKeep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the components.

13
zAvoid moving around unnecessarily.
zHold the server components (especially boards) only by the edges.
zPlace the server components on a grounded, static-free surface.
zUse a conductive foam pad if available but not the component wrapper.
zDo not slide the components over any surface.
2.7 Cooling and Airflow
CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, always install all access covers before turning on the system.
Operating the system for longer than five minutes without the covers in place can cause overheating and
damage to system components.
2.8 Battery
CAUTION
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

3.1.3 Environmental Specifications
Place
In front of the system, minimum 25" of the space is needed for using and managing the system.
In rear of the system, minimum 30" of the space is needed for managing the system and airflow.
Power supply
Before installing the system, check the power capacity of the place where the system is installed.
Grounding
The system should be grounded.
Temperature
The system should be installed where the airflow and temperature is proper.
If the system is installed in the rack, the temperature in rack should be less than 35 degree Celsius.
In most case, the temperature of the rack is higher than that of the out of the rack.
Airflow
Since the airflow of the system is front-to-rear, please do not cover of the system

17
3.1.4 Install Rail for Mounting the System on the Rack
This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit with the slide rails provided.
Slide Rail
Slide rails consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis
and an outer fixed slide rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
You should have received outer slide rails in the rack mounting kit.
(See packing list) And, both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Inner Fixed Chassis Rail
