Titan SiliconServer Introducing the Titan SiliconServer The server chassis is 4U (7”) high, 480 millimeters (19”) rack mountable and a maximum of 600 millimeters (22”) deep excluding the fascia. The server chassis consists of a passive backplane (which is not removable), three hot swappable fan trays, and dual power supplies. The pre-installed components perform functions essential to the integrity of the server. If there is an issue with these components, replace them with the same component type.
Front View Status Power LED Server Status LED On the front panel there are two LED indicators (Power and Status), which indicate the server status as follows: Table 1: Status Power LED (Green) State Meaning Green Normal operation with a single server or an active server in a clustered operation. Slow Flash Server has been shutdown. Flashes once every three seconds. Flash (0.8Hz) Server is available to host file services but is not currently doing so. Flash (5Hz) Server rebooting.
Rear Panel There are a number of LED indicators on the modules and PSUs. Each module has a Status LED (Green/ Amber).
Additionally each module has individual indicators as shown below: NIM 1040-x Table 4: Server Gigabit Ethernet Ports (4) State Meaning Per Port Status (Green) Green 1,000 Mbps link present Flash (1.

Power Supply Unit (PSU) 600 Table 10: PSU Status (Green/Amber) Status Meaning Green Mains, DC, and battery are okay Amber PSU Failure (including internal fans or battery) Off No mains connections or switched off Power The Titan SiliconServer monitors the operational status of the power supply modules so that the management interfaces can indicate the physical location of the failed unit. However, it is not possible to distinguish between failed components within a PSU module (such as built in fans).
Powering Off the Server To reset or shutdown the Server The server can be reset or shutdown if a manual reboot is necessary. Using the SMU, select Reset/Shutdown from the SiliconServer Admin page. The Reset/Shutdown page has two options to power-off the server: • The Reset button will close down all processes on the server and all connections from other hosts. It will restart the server automatically which may take approximately five minutes.
Replacing Server Components This section describes how to replace the hot-swappable components in the server. Follow the procedure if you are a qualified System Administrator, Network Administrator, or Technician. Replacing a Server Module CAUTION: All power to the server must be switched off before replacing any modules. 1. Verify that the power switches on both the PSU’s are in the OFF position. 2.
