1-1 Electrical Safety Guidelines

Supermicro SC822T-550LP - 1-1 Electrical Safety Guidelines - 1

Warning: To avoid electrical shock, check the power cords as follows:

Checking the Power Cords

  • Use the exact type of power cords as required.
  • Be sure to use power cord(s) that came with safety certifications.
    ●The power cord(s) must be compliant with the AC voltage requirements in your region.
    ●The power cord plug cap must have an electrical current rating that is at least 125% of the electrical current rating of this product.
    ●The power cord plug cap that plugs into the AC receptacle on the power supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.
  • Be sure to disconnect the power supply before accessing the SC822 or its components.
  • Plug the Power cord(s) into a socket that is properly grounded before turning on the power.

Supermicro SC822T-550LP - Checking the Power Cords - 1

Warning: Follow the guidelines below to avoid possible damages to the system or injury to yourself:

General Electrical Safety Guidelines

  • Be aware of the locations of the power switches on the chassis and in the room, so you can disconnect the power supply if an accident occurs.
    ● Take extra precautionary measures when working with high voltage components. It is not recommended to work alone.
  • Before removing or installing main system components, be sure to disconnect the power first. Turn off the system before you disconnect the PS.
  • Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment to avoid possible electrical shock.

  • Use rubber mats specifically designed as electrical insulators when working with computer systems.

  • The power supply or power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded outlets.
  • Motherboard Battery: CAUTION -Make sure not to install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explosion. Make sure that the positive side should be facing up on the motherboard. This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - Do not open the enclosures of power supplies or CD ROM to avoid injury.

  2. Lay the motherboard on the standoffs and secure it to the chassis with the correct types of screws at proper locations.
  3. Secure the CPU(s) and heatsink(s) to the motherboard and the chassis as needed.

(*Notes: Please install type B standoffs on holes marked as , and install type A standoffs on holes marked as ⊕ as shown above.)

Warning: For proper cooling, please make sure that all the chassis covers are installed before you operate the system. Out of warranty damage can occur if this rule is not strictly followed.

H. Installing Chassis Rails

Please make sure that the chassis covers and chassis rails are installed on the chassis before you install the chassis into the rack.

Supermicro SC822T-550LP - Installing Chassis Rails - 1

To avoid personal injury and property damage, please carefully follow all the safety steps listed below.

Before installing the Chassis rails:

  1. Enclose the chassis with chassis covers.
  2. Unplug the AC power cord(s).
  3. Remove all external devices and connectors.

Procedures to Install Chassis Rails

  1. Included in the shipping package are a pair of rail assemblies. In each rail assembly, locate the inner rail and the outer rail.
  2. Press the locking tab to release the inner rail from its locking position and pull out the inner rail from the rail assembly. (*The inner rails are to be attached to the chassis and the outer rails are to be installed in the rack.)

Outer rail (to be installed in the rack) Pull out the Inner rail (to be attached on the chassis) Press the Locking Tab

  1. Locate the five rail hooks on each side of the chassis and locate the five corresponding holes on each of the inner rail.

  2. Align the five holes on the rail against the corresponding hooks on the chassis. Once aligned, attach the inner rail to the chassis by pressing the holes into the corresponding hooks.

  3. Once the rail is placed on the chassis, pull the rail forward until you hear the "click" sound.

  4. Secure the rail to the chassis with a Type I screw (Refer to Page 2-1 for the Type I screw.) Repeat the above steps to install other rail on the chassis.

I. Rack Installation

After you have installed the inner rails on the chassis, you are ready to install the outer rails of rail assemblies to the rack.

(* The rails are designed to fit in the racks with the depth of 28" to 33".)

Procedures

  1. In the package, locate a pair of front (-short) and rear (-long) brackets. Please note that the brackets are marked with Up/Front Arrows (-front) and Up/Rear arrows (-rear).
  2. Secure the front (-short) bracket (marked with the Up/Front arrows) to the outer rail with two Type I screws.
  3. Attach the rear (-long) bracket to the rail unit by sliding the rear rail into the rail unit. Insert the complete rail assembly into the chassis.
  4. Measure the depth of your rack and adjust the length of the rail assembly accordingly.
  5. Repeat the same steps to install the other rail assembly into the chassis.
  6. Secure both outer rail assemblies to the rack with Type J screws and Type K washers.

  1. Slide the SC822 chassis into the rack until you hear the "click" sound.

(The SC822 may not slide into the rack smoothly or easily when installed the first time. However, some adjustment to the slide assemblies might be needed for easy installation.)

  1. You will need to release the safety tabs on both sides of the chassis in order to completely remove the chassis out of the rack.
