7 1 Hardware Features Overview Features Hardware 1U Chassis Electrical The StorTrends 1108 is a 1U chassis with eight hot swappable drive bays that can be used as a NAS or JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) solution. The StorTrends 1108-N has built-in intelligence that is rarely found in such an offering. The StorTrends 1108-N offers hot swappable redundant power supplies, cooling fans (series 905), AMI s Indium embedded motherboard and custom-designed NAS software. The chassis includes two AMI backplanes (series 904) with four single channel Ultra160 (Ultra320 ready) slots each and IPMI support. AMI s Indium server appliance motherboard provides a scalable, high-performance platform that addresses many applications, including NAS, web servers and other embedded environments. AMI s custom-designed NAS software resides on a network-upgradeable flash memory device, leaving all hard drives 100 percent available for user data. AMI s Ultra160 and Ultra320 ready backplanes offer Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) v0.9 and v1.0 support. This gives IT managers access to platform management information and control features, allowing more accurate predictions of hardware failures, diagnoses of hardware problems and the initiation of recovery actions. 17 W x 1.7 H x 30 D Standard EIA 19 Rack Mount with Slides Eight ezswap Hot Swappable Drive assemblies ezswap Hot Swappable Drive assemblies double as heat sinks Dual AMI Backplanes (Series 904) IPMI Compliant Version 1.0 with SAF-TE on each Dual On-Board Ultra2 LVD SCSI Channels Dual Intel 10/100 Ethernet Ports Six Hot Pluggable Cooling Fans Dual Power Supplies - Hot Swappable, Redundant 200W ATX 2.1 Compliant AMI Indium Server Appliance Motherboard (Series 803) Front Panel Support LCD and Keypad for System Information and Configuration LEDs for System/Network Status 17 W x 1.7 H x 30 D Fits Standard 19 EIA Rack Systems Including Full Extension and Quick Disconnect Ball Bearing Slides with Intelligence built-in AC Input Power / V, Hz, 8/5 A 50-60Hz Cont'd Hardware Features 1

9 2 Hardware Installation Overview This chapter provides you with instructions on how to setup the hardware portion of the StorTrends This manual assumes that you are familiar with the basic installation of the CPU and memory module. Warning When working inside the chassis, unplug both power cables. When installing this unit, both power outlets that supply power to the two power supplies must be easily accessible. Access to these outlets must not be blocked or obstructed in any way. Installation Steps The table below lists the steps required to install the StorTrends 1108 Step Description Turn to page 1 Unpack and Inspect the Contents 3 2 Install the CPU and Memory 4 3 Install into Rack 6 4 Connect Power and Network Cables 7 5 Install Hard Drives 7 6 Power On 9 Step 1 Unpack and Inspect the Contents Step Action 1 Inspect the cardboard carton for obvious damage. If damaged, call Leave it in its original packing. 2 Perform all unpacking and installation procedures on a ground-connected anti-static mat. Wear an anti-static wristband grounded at the same point as the anti-static mat or use a sheet of conductive aluminum foil grounded through a 1-megohm resistor instead of the anti-static mat. Similarly, a strip of conductive aluminum foil wrapped around the wrist and grounded through a 1 megohm resistor serves the same purpose as the wristband. Hardware Installation 3

10 Step 2 Install CPU and Memory Step Diagram Description 1 Unlock the lid with either one of the keys supplied with the StorTrends Lift the lid up. See diagram. 3 Physically remove the lid. 4 Unscrew the four screws that secure the rear cover to the chassis. Cont d 4 AMI StorTrends 1108 User s Guide

11 Step 2 Install CPU and Memory, Continued Step Diagram Description 5 Remove the rear cover and locate the motherboard. Locate the Socket 370 and insert the CPU. Mount the cooling fan and heatsink on top of it. Plug the CPU cooling fan into connector JP6. It is a 3-pin berg that connects the fan on the CPU heat sink to the motherboard power. JP6 is located in-between the CPU and memory slot. Connector JP6 is keyed in such a way that the CPU connector can only be attached one way. 6 The SDRAM DIMM socket on the motherboard can be populated with one of the following: 8 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM 16 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM 32 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM 64 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM 128 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM 256 MB 168-pin 3.3V SDRAM In order for you to insert the memory module, you must remove the I/O shield. Unscrew the four screws that secure the rear I/O shield. Lift the shield along with the network interface connectors and cables out of the way. Insert the memory and replace the rear I/O shield. 7 Place the rear cover back on the chassis and secure it with the four screws. 8 Now you are ready to install the StorTrends 1108 into your enclosure.

23 ezswap ez Swap is a fastener free, hot swap hard disk drive assembly solution. It includes a carrier for receiving and supporting the disk drive and an alignment feature on the carrier to align the disk drive with the carrier. This alignment feature includes an alignment pin to engage its respective hole defined by the disk drive. The carrier also includes an actuation member for moving the carrier between a disengaged position and an operable position. In the disengaged position, the disk drive can be loaded onto and unloaded from the carrier. Conversely, in the operable position, the disk drive is connected with an electrical circuit, such as a backplane or a system bus. The disk drive is retained on the carrier once the actuation member has moved the carrier to the operable position. Caution Always allow the SCSI drives and power supplies to cool before you handle them. Technical Reference 17

24 Power Supply There are two hot-swappable power supplies in the StorTrends One power supply can supply power to a fully configured system. To remove a failed power supply, unscrew the thumbscrews. Pull the power supply straight out. Insert a new one into the empty bay by sliding it straight in until you hear it click into place. Caution Always allow the SCSI drives and power supplies to cool before handling them. 18 AMI StorTrends 1108 User s Guide

25 Cooling Fan There are three sets of hot-swappable cooling fans in the StorTrends They cool the drives by drawing air through the front of the chassis. To remove a failed cooling fan, open the chassis with the key. Remove the lid. Gently lift the failed cooling fans straight up. Insert the new set of cooling fans by gently placing them on the connector. Replace the lid and lock the chassis. Technical Reference 19

26 Air Filter There are two air filters in the StorTrends They filter the air of dust before being drawn in by the cooling fans. They are located in the front of the chassis. The air filters can easily be removed and replaced. It is recommended that the air filter be cleaned or replaced after 20,000 hours of use. See illustrations below. 20 AMI StorTrends 1108 User s Guide

27 Appendix A Battery Replacement The American Megatrends StorTrends 1312-N product incorporates the American Megatrends Indium motherboard. The Indium motherboard BIOS retains CMOS settings when powered off. It does this by power supplied from a Lithium battery. This battery is located at BT1 designated with a circle in the illustration below: American Megatrends suggests that you replace this battery with a coin-type CR2032 Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery. Caution Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with a coin-type CR2032 Lithium Manganese Dioxide battery. Dispose of the battery according to the battery manufacturer s instructions. Appendix A Battery Replacement 21
