0. Introducing the SGI 1400 Family of Servers

This document is intended to help you get your new server unpacked, connected and

powered on. After completing the steps in this guide, you may wish to continue with

additional conﬁguration, or read more about your server’s capabilities. Reference the

SGI 1400 Server Family User’s Guide for more detailed information on your system.

The SGI 1400 family of servers includes products such as the SGI 1400M (which uses a

Microsoft Windows operating system), and the SGI 1400L which uses a Linux operating

system. While its operating system (OS) gives the server a particular functional interface,

the basic hardware functions, diagnostics, and conﬁguration are the same within the SGI

1400 server family. The generic term “server” and “SGI 1400 server” are used throughout

this document, and apply to all systems in the SGI 1400 family of servers.

Warning: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server, use two people

and/or a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The minimum server

conﬁguration weighs 38 kg (85 lbs); the maximum weighs 45 kg (100 lbs). Use a

hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit to move the server from one location to

another. Do not attempt to lift or move the server by the handles on the power

supplies. Before operating this server, read the additional product warnings in

“Product Warnings” on page 17.

Introducing the SGI 1400 Family of Servers

Chassis Conﬁgurations

The SGI 1400 server is designed to either be mounted in a rack (rack mode) or stand

upright (pedestal mode). Figure 1 shows examples of these conﬁgurations. You must

contact your sales or service provider and purchase an adapter kit if you wish to change

the conﬁguration of your server from one mode to another after receiving the unit.

For instructions on mounting your rack-mode server in a 19-inch equipment rack, see the

SGI 1400 Server Family User’s Guide.

Site Selection and Environmental Requirements

Site Selection and Environmental Requirements

Use the information in this section to select a proper operational site for your server.

Caution: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and

other parts. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD. However, we

recommend doing all procedures in this guide only at an ESD-protected workstation. If

one is not available, you can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist

strap attached to chassis ground of the server—any unpainted metal surface—when

handling components. Make sure that the power service connection is through a

properly grounded outlet.

Introducing the SGI 1400 Family of Servers

Warning: The push-button on/off power switch on the front panel of the server

does not turn off the AC power. To completely remove AC power from the server, you

must unplug the AC power cord from each power supply or wall outlet.

The server operates reliably within most normal ofﬁce or lab environmental limits. Select

a site that meets the following criteria:

• Sited near a properly earthed, grounded, three-pronged power outlet

– In the United States and Canada: a NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V,or a

NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V units

– In other geographic areas: a properly earthed, grounded outlet in accordance

with the local electrical authorities and electrical code of the region

• Clean and relatively free of excess dust

• Well ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the

server kept free of obstructions

• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock

• Isolated from strong electromagnetic ﬁelds and noise caused by electrical devices

such as elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors,

radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices

• Access space provided so the server power cords can be unplugged from the power

supply or the wall outlet; this is the only way to remove AC power from the server

• Clearance provided for cooling and airﬂow. For clearance requirements based on

chassis conﬁguration, see Table 1 on page 2

Using Power Cords

Table 2 provides site environmental speciﬁcations for the server.

Using Power Cords

This section supplies information on the proper use of power cords with your server.

Caution: Do not modify or use a supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type

required in the region where the server will be installed and used. Replace the cord with

the correct type. Read the information in “Power Cord Requirements”.

Do not plug in any of the server’s power cords when internal parts are being added

(boards, DIMMs, removable media drives). See the SGI 1400 Server Family Maintenance

and Upgrades Guide for more information on this topic.

Introducing the SGI 1400 Family of Servers

Power Cord Requirements

The server’s power cords must meet these requirements:

•Rating: Cords must be rated for available AC voltage and have a current rating at

least 125% of current rating of server.

•Connector, wall outlet end: Cords must be terminated in grounding-type male

plug designed for use in your region. It must have certiﬁcation marks showing

certiﬁcation by an agency acceptable in your region.

•Connector, power supply end: The connector that plugs into the AC receptacle on

the server power supply must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type female connector.

•Cord length and ﬂexibility: Cords must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long,

and must be ﬂexible (harmonized <HAR>) cord or VDE-certiﬁed cordage to

comply with server's safety certiﬁcations.

Note: In geographic regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, use of a surge

suppressor is highly recommended.

For information about complying with electromagnetic interference regulations, see

“Electromagnetic Compatibility” in the SGI 1400 Server Family User’s Guide.

Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse Connectors

This section provides information on connecting your server’s monitor, keyboard, and

mouse. Your server may come with a PCI Ethernet card, be sure to read the board’s

documentation for information on its operation and functionality.

Caution: Before connecting any external devices, make sure the server is not plugged

in, or equipment could be damaged.
