I. Introduction I. Introduction Checklist I. Introduction You are reading the AP6000 server Hardware Reference Guide. The AP6000 is configured on the ASUS P2B-DS smart motherboard which uses the 440BX chipset from Intel which supports dual Pentium II processors and 100MHz front side Bus in order to accelerate even the most complicated server tasks. II. Components This Reference Guide This hardware reference guide provides information about the various components used in this server.
I. Introduction I. Introduction Features Server Features Motherboard Features: ASUS P2B-DS • • II. Components • • • Processor: (2) Intel Pentium II processors running at 66 or 100MHz Front Side Bus. Memory: (4) 168pin DIMM sockets for 8MB-1GB SDRAM/EDO with support for ECC and 100MHz SDRAM. Super Multi-I/O: (2) PCI Bus Master IDE Ports with Ultra DRAM-33 support, (2) floppy, (2) serial COM ports, (1) parallel, (1) PS/2 keyboard, (1) PS/2 mouse, (2) USB ports, and (1) IrDA connector.
I. Introduction I. Introduction Safety / Static Electrical Safety Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connecting or disconnecting devices to the workstation. DANGER: An electrical outlet that is not correctly wired could place hazardous voltage on metal parts of the system or the devices that attach to the system. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that the outlet is correctly wired and grounded to prevent an electrical shock. II.
I. Introduction I. Introduction Tools / Preparation Tools Required A Phillips (cross) and standard (flat) screwdriver is needed to install or remove the components in this server. Server Preparation II. Components 1. Unpack your server, do not connect the power cord. IMPORTANT: Most servers uses an AT power supply that has a fixed On and Off switch located on the front.
I. Introduction I. Introduction Starting Starting the Server II. Components Turn on the system unit by turning the power knob clockwise and pushing inwards momentarily. The power button will snap back because ATX power systems have a electrical On/Off switch unlike AT systems which require a permanent On or Off position. If the power indicator does not light, make sure the power cord is connected to the system unit and to a working grounded outlet.
II. System Components II. System Components The front side of the server is provided to show the front exterior components of this server. The chassis is made of strong rust-resisting metal and covered with a protective ivory surfacing. ATX Power Button II. Components Front Side This server uses an ATX power supply. Turn the power switch clockwise and push in momentarily to turn on or turn off the power.
II. System Components Server Back Side The back side of the server is provided to show the back exterior components of this server. Power Supply USB Ports 1 and 2 Network Card SCSI RAID Card Graphics Card Side Panel Screw Power In Connector II. Components Back Side Power Supply Fan PS/2 Keyboard PS/2 Mouse Parallel Port Serial Ports COM1 and COM2 Circulation System Outlet Vents Server back side Power Supply The power supply must be inserted and removed from the right side of the chassis.
II. System Components Chassis Panels There are two panels on the chassis, one left side and one right side panel. Each panel is secured by two screws on the back of the server (as circled) and also by a CAM. The CAM has a rotating knob with its own keylock. Turn the knob counterclockwise to release and clockwise to secure. The keylock can be used to keep the knob from being turned by unauthorized people. II.
II. System Components Circulation System The server’s air circulation system is comprised of five 3 inch (8 cm) fans mounted on a metal fan module. The circulation system cools the hard disk drives by bringing fresh air in from the front and forcing the hot air out through the back. It is important to keep the air surrounding the hard disk drives below 122˚F (50˚C) to prevent hard disk failures. Fan Replacement II.
II. System Components Fixed Storage Device Tray Internal fixed storage devices are mounted on removable trays. There are four available, one for a floppy device and another three for full-size devices. There are six screws provided (as circled) for mounting a 4 inch device such as floppy or hard disk drive. Four screws are provided (as boxed) for mounting 6 inch devices such as a CD-ROM or tape drive. II.
II. System Components Fixed Storage Devices Floppy Drive and CD-ROM The floppy drive fits in the topmost bay along with the power button. A CDROM can fit into either the second, third, or fourth bay from the top. A metal clip on each side of the device tray secures the tray in place. Press inwards to release the clips. The tray slides in or out on the side rails. II.
II. System Components Hot-Swap Trays Maximum uptime in a server requires devices that can be easily replaced or “swapped.” The main hard disks are mounted in internal hot-swap trays for easy replacing. To remove the tray, unlock the tray and pull on the handle. A lock secures the handle and switches on or off the power to the hard drive. II.
II. System Components Hot-Swap Tray Usage Each hot-swap tray provides an aluminum carrier for a single SCSI hard disk drives with a maximum height of 1 5/8 inch, width of 4 inches, and length of 6 inches. The aluminum tray provides protection and maximum heat dissipation for almost all types of high speed SCSI disk drives. The provided cables and wires connect to the SCSI hard disk drive and screws are needed to secure the tray to the bottom of the SCSI hard disk drive. II.
II. System Components Hot-Swap Tray Connector Board The connector board is mounted on the hot-swap tray to interface with the SCSI backplane in the chassis. The connector board provides combines all the signal and power into one docking connector for a clean hot-swap unit. KEY SLED (not used) II.
II. System Components Motherboard Securing Remove the fan module before installing or removing the motherboard. All screws are necessary to provide the needed stabilization to support all the motherboard expansion items. Spacer Mounts II. Components Motherboard These spacers are used to give added support to the motherboard. Make sure that these are placed in the exact locations shown here for the P2B-DS motherboard, do not place them in other locations or else damage may occur to the motherboard.
II. System Components SCSI Backplane The SCSI backplane of this server is comprised of two SCSI boards with a Wide-SCSI connector, power input, and SCSI ID dip switches on each SCSI board. This configuration allows Wide-SCSI hard disk drives to be docked into the server using a common connector. The female end is located on the SCSI board, while the male end is located on the hot-swap tray. SCSI Board Placement II. Components SCSI Backplane There are three screws on each side of the SCSI board.
II. System Components SCSI ID Setting SCSI ID settings are made through DIP switches located on the SCSI board. Each SCSI board IDSEL switch has default settings as labeled below. The default settings were set for use with a 2-channel SCSI card. Each channel may repeat the SCSI ID numbers of another channel. Make sure that each IDSEL switch (on each channel) has its own unique setting if making changes to these switches. See next page for more information on SCSI ID settings. 68pin Wide SCSI Connector II.
II. System Components SCSI Connections Your server can support up to 15 user installed SCSI devices. Be sure to include both internal and external SCSI devices in your device setup. Each SCSI device (both internal and external) must have a unique address (or SCSI ID). Check your SCSI device documentation for instructions. Be sure to record all SCSI addresses so that you can prevent SCSI address conflicts. II.
II. System Components II.
II. System Components Cables The cables in this server is just like that of any standard PC expect that 68 pin Wide-SCSI cables are provided for 50 pin or 68 pin SCSI devices used in server systems. Your PC may use SCSI devices but are typically 50 pins. Because signals become weaker over distance, cable quality is more important in large chassis such as the one used in this server. II.
II. System Components Device Connections II. Components Device Connections The cables should be connected to the devices as shown. Plastic keepers protect the cables from contact with the fans; make sure that they are properly secured.
