 Front Panel (on page 16)  Disk Subsystems (on page 19)  Back Panel (on page 21)

(16)

Hardware Manual Front Panel

Front Panel

The following information describes the front panel components for Versio systems.

Inner Front Panel

The Versio inner front panel includes the following:  System Power (on/off) button

 LED indicators

 Hot-swappable hard disk drives

 USB Ports

Front LED Panel

There are several LEDs on the LED panel as well as other LEDs on the hard drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system, as well as the activity and health of specific components.

(17)

This section explains the meaning of the LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

Front Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are the power on/off button and the reset button.

Button Description

Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off the system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Reset: The reset button reboots the system.

Front Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. The following table explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

LED Description

Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

(18)

LED Description

NIC 2: Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

NIC 1: Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

Power Failure: When this LED flashes, it indicates a power failure in the power supply.

Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing 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. This LED will remain flashing, or on, as long as the overheat condition exists.

Drive Carrier LEDs

Each drive carrier has two LEDs.

 Green: Each hard drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the hard drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

Power Supply Modules

The Versio system has a 920 watt redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage. It is essential that both power supply modules be connected at all times during operation; therefore it is recommended that the failed module be replaced immediately to maintain full power redundancy.

If you need to replace a failed power supply, see Change the Power Supply (on page 39) for the replacement procedure.

Power Supply LED Descriptions

 Green: System is on.

 Amber: System is off and plugged in.  Off: There is no AC power to the system.

Note: For extra insurance against power loss, you can connect the two power supply modules to AC outlets on different circuit breakers or connect the system to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

(25)

Hardware Manual External Serial and GPI Control

External Serial and GPI Control

External control of the Versio system is available over RS-422 serial connectors and GPI (General Purpose Interface) inputs. The serial connectors and GPI outputs can also control external devices. The Versio system supports up to 8 serial connections, 8 GPI inputs, and 8 GPI outputs. The 1 RU height requires that a "fanout" cable is used to manage these connections. The fanout cable attaches to the Afterburner4 (AB4) card on the back of the Versio system.

AB4 Fanout Cable Design

A single AB4 fanout cable is provided for the serial 16 card, which allows for a single VHDCI connection to the board while providing 16 individual RJ connections. The cable is designed without splices within the length of the cable. This approach reduces the number of cables; simplifies the installation, connection, labeling, and dressing of cables; and improves the overall cabling to the chassis.

Each port is labeled with a number and a letter starting with "1" and "A". The letters "O" and "I" have been omitted to avoid confusion with the numbers "0" and "1". See Fanout Cable Pinouts (on page 27) for more details.

(26)

Lengths of Fanout Cables

The standard cables provided are 7 ft (210 cm) in total length, with a 3 ft (90 cm) portion, a single cable from the VHDCI connector carrying all 16 ports, and the remaining 4 ft (120 cm) individual cables for each port (part number: 502120-00). A 16 ft (485 cm) cable is also available (part number: 502120-01).

This product should only be accessed and serviced by technically qualified personnel or technicians.

Before accessing the chassis

1. Turn off all peripheral devices and the power supply connected to the system. 2. Unplug all power cords from the system or wall outlets.

3. Disconnect all the cables and label the cables for easy identification.

Removing the chassis covers

After completing the above steps, you can remove the chassis covers and install components and devices into the chassis as described in this chapter.

1. Unlock and remove the screws and fasteners to remove the covers or components.

2. Save all the screws and fasteners for later use. (If necessary, label the screws and fasteners for easy identification.)

3. Follow the instructions provided in this chapter to remove the chassis covers.

Installation Tools

You will need the following tools for the safe and proper installation of your system.  Phillips screw driver

(34)

Install Hard Drives

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Remove Hard Drive Trays from the Chassis

1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle. 2. Swing the handle out fully and pull the tray straight out.

Install Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier

1. Remove the four Phillips head screws holding the dummy drive to the carrier and discard the screws.

Note: The screws used to secure the dummy drive to the tray cannot be used to secure the hard drive.

2. Insert your new drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end toward the rear of the carrier.

(35)

3. Align the drive in the carrier so that the mounting holes of both are aligned.

4. Secure the drive to the carrier with four M3 flat-head screws included in the HDD bag of your accessory box.

5. Insert the drive and drive carrier into its bay vertically, keeping the carrier oriented so that the release button is on the right side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.

6. Push the hard drive into the hard drive bay until the hard drive clicks into the locked position.

Remove the Chassis Cover

You must remove the chassis cover before you can access the motherboard or replace components such as power supplies or fans.

WARNING

Do not operate the server without the chassis cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airflow and to prevent overheating. You can remove the cover for a short period of time without powering down, but be sure the replace the cover as soon as possible.

Before You Open the Chassis

 Ensure that all cables are properly connected to the connectors and ports.  Use the original screws or fasteners to install the covers to the chassis.  Be sure to lock the chassis or the system to prevent unauthorized access.

 To replace the cover, reverse steps 1, 2, and 3 described under Before You Open the Chassis (on page 35).

System Fans

Four 8-cm hot-swap fans provide the cooling for the Versio system. These fans are located on the front side of the fan bracket. In addition, three optional fans may be placed on the rear side of the fan bracket for cooling redundancy. An air shroud is also included to concentrate the air flow for a greater cooling effect.

It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails, the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

(37)

Note: The part number for the Versio system fan is 131-100014Q00.

Replace a System Fan

1. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the system from the outlet. 2. Remove the chassis cover.

3. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out of the chassis.

4. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.

(38)

Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The Versio chassis air shroud does not require screws for installation.

Install the Air Shroud

1. Lay the chassis on a flat, stable surface and remove the chassis cover.

2. Ensure that the motherboard, CPU, heatsink and memory are all properly installed. 3. If necessary, move any cables that interfere with the air shroud placement.

4. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits just behind the fans in the fan rack. Slide the air shroud into the grooves just behind the fan rack.

If you are replacing the onboard battery make sure to handle the used battery carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do

(39)

not discard a used battery in the garbage or a public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

Power Supply

The Versio device has two redundant hot-swappable power supply modules. You can access the power connectors from the Back Panel. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability. This allows them to automatically sense and operate at 100V to 240V input voltage. Under normal operation both power supplies work in tandem spreading the load between them. If one of the power supplies fails, the working power supply can provide all of the power needed by the device.

CAUTION

Both power supply modules must be connected at all times during operation. If one of the modules fails, you must replace it immediately to maintain full power redundancy.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail the other module takes the full load and allows the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED illuminates and remains on until the failed unit has been replaced.

The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Change the Power Supply

WARNING

Unplug the power cord before removing the power supply.

1. Determine which power supply needs to be replaced and unplug the AC power cord to that module. 2. Push the release tab on the back of the power supply.

(40)

3. While holding down the release tab, pull the power supply out using the handle provided on the power module.

4. Replace the failed power supply module with the same model.

Note: The part number for the Versio power supply module is 122-100054Q00.

5. Push the new power supply module into the power bay until the tab clicks into the locked position. 6. Plug the AC power cord back into the module and the replacement power module will automatically

power-up.

Hardware Manual Chassis Rack Installation

Chassis Rack Installation

This section provides steps for installing the chassis into the rack unit you are using.

Rack Location

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. 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. The system needs to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Warning and Precautions in the next section.

Prepare for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

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).

Warnings and Precautions

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 installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.  In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

 Always make sure that 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.

(42)

General System Precautions

 Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are adding to your chassis.

 Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

 Install the heaviest system components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work upwards.  Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the system from power surges,

voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

 Allow the hot plug hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.

 Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the system closed when not servicing them to maintain proper cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature 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 system operating environment specifications. See System Operating Environment (on page 65) for details.

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 connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

(43)

Rack Mounting

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.6" and 36.5" deep.

Identify the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

Note: The part number for the Versio rack rail is 148-100032Q00.

Locking Tabs

Both inner chassis rails have a locking tab. The tabs lock the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. 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.

(44)

Install Inner Rails to the Chassis

The chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. When using a rack, attach the inner rail extension to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Note: If you are not using a rack, you do not have to install the inner rail extensions.

1. Place the inner rail extension on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail. 2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the rail to the chassis with two screws. 4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Identify the Outer Rack Rails

Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the chassis in place. The Versio system comes equipped with quick-release outer rails that allow the chassis to be easily extended or removed from the rack. 1. Identify the two outer rack rails.

(45)

2. Pull out the end of the outer rail until it is fully extended.

3. Note the location of the release tab which will allow the outer rail extension to be separated from the outer rail. Do not release it at this time. If released, simply depress the release tab and slide the outer rail extension back into the outer rail.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.

Install the Outer Rails to the Rack

The outer rails attach to the rack and allow easy access to the chassis. 1. Press the button to retract the outer rail extensions.

(46)

2. Hang the hooks of the front portion of the outer rail onto the slots of the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.

3. Hang the hooks of the rear portion of the outer rail onto the slots of the rack. Use screws as shown in step two to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

(47)

Install Chassis into Rack

1. Confirm that the inner rails (A) and rail extensions (B) are properly installed. Confirm that the outer rails (C) and outer rail extensions (D) are correctly installed on the rack.

2. Align the chassis inner rails with the front of the outer rails on the rack.

3. 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). When the Versio system has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs click into position.

(48)

4. If necessary, insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

(49)

For threaded-hole racks, use the square-to-round-hole adapter kit included in the accessory box. The thread must be M5 or larger to allow the accessory kit screws and washer to pass through the flange. Mount the adapter on the rack to connect to the rack rail.

 Hot Swap Power Supplies (on page 52)  System Recovery (on page 53)

(52)

Hardware Manual Hot Swap Power Supplies

Hot Swap Power Supplies

Your system uses a dual-redundant hot-swappable power supply. You can replace a failed power supply module without turning the system off.

Make sure you have a replacement power supply before starting this procedure. Keep a replacement power supply module on hand, and replace failed modules promptly. Running on one power supply module for any length of time can compromise the uninterrupted operation of your system. Three signals indicate that a power supply module has failed.

 The warning alarm sounds.

 The green LED on the failed power supply module is off.  The PS FAIL LED on the front of the unit is red.

To stop the alarm from sounding, unplug the power supply module from the system.

Note: For redundant operation your system requires two working modules. If one module fails, replace the failed module immediately.

To replace the failed power supply module

1. Put on protective gloves before removing the failed power supply module. The power supply module is very hot.

2. Pull out the failed power supply module, and put it somewhere where it will not be touched until it cools down.

3. Insert a replacement power supply module.

4. Confirm that the power supply module LED is green. 5. Confirm that the PS FAIL LED on the front of the unit is off. 6. Snap the power supply module in place.

Hardware Manual System Recovery

System Recovery

This section describes the system recovery process using the system recovery image, also called the WIM image.

Initial Production WIM Recovery Image

The initial WIM image is captured to the System Recovery USB stick at the customer’s facility during initial system deployment. At the time of shipment, the System Recovery USB stick does not include a WIM file.

Customers should confirm the final production-ready Versio configuration is captured to the USB stick during system deployment.

Create a WIM Recovery Image

Prepare the Drive for Capture

When you capture a WIM image, you are capturing the current state of a specific drive on the Versio system to use for future system recovery.

A WIM image capture can contain extremely large files. Before capturing the image you should delete any unnecessary files (like log files and temporary files) that are unnecessary to store as a part of the WIM image capture.

Format a Third-Party USB Stick

The WIM image must be captured to a properly formatted USB stick. It is recommended that the WIM image is captured to the System Recovery USB stick, which is already properly formatted for the WIM image. Note that you can also capture the WIM image to a network share.

If you are using a third-party USB stick, use the following steps to format the USB stick for the WIM image.
