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 1522LV 1U Rackmount Server is a high-performance barebone system powered by dual AMD®
OpteronTM 2000 processors, nVIDIA®nForce Professional 3400 (MCP55V Pro) and Winbond Super I/O chip.
In addition, 4 DIMM sockets are supported for CPU. In line with extreme processing and data buffering capability,
UniServer is equipped with PCI-Express slot and SATA II with RAID 0, 1 support. For those preferring SATA
devices, 2-slot SATA 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 medical, 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.
13
zKeep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the components.
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.
2.9 Network Connecting
CAUTION
This equipment is indoor use and all the communication wirings are limited to inside of the building.
