FCC & DOC COMPLIANCE Federal Communications Commission Statement This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause harmful interference, and • This device must accept any interference received, including interfer- ence that may cause undesired operation.
I. Introduction You are reading the AP3000 Hardware Reference Guide. This hardware refer- ence guide provides information and procedures on the various components used in this server. Some components shown in this reference guide are op- tional and may be individually purchased to complete the server. This guide is intended for experienced users and integrators with hardware knowledge of personal computers.
I. Introduction • 1-2. Component Checklist If assembling this server by yourself, it is important to prepare all the server components before starting. This will save a great deal of time by not having to hunt down components. The following checklist provides a guideline as to the necessary components for a server.
I. Introduction • 1-3. Features AP3000 is a department server configured on the XG-DLS smart motherboard which uses the 440GX chipset from Intel and supports two Pentium II processors and 100MHz front side bus in order to handle even the most complicated server tasks.The following are high- lights to this server’s many features.
I. Introduction • 1-4. Safeguards Observe the following safety instructions any time you are connect- ing or disconnecting any devices. Operation Safety IMPORTANT • Any operation on this server must be conducted by cer- tified or experienced engineers. • Before operating your server, carefully read all the manuals included with the server package.
I. Introduction • 1-5. Electrical Safety IMPORTANT • Before installing or removing signal cables, ensure that the power cables for the system unit and all attached devices are unplugged. • To prevent electrical shock hazard, disconnect the power cable from the electrical outlet before relocating the system. •...

III. Basic Operation • 3-1. Starting the Server Turn ON the server by pushing the power button. The power button will snap back when released because ATX power systems have an electrical ON/OFF switch unlike AT systems which require a permanent ON or OFF position. If the Power On LED does not light, make sure the power cord is connected to the system unit and to a working grounded outlet.
IV. Hardware Setup This section gives descriptions of how to install and remove components. When setting up devices on the server, perform the following steps. • 4-1. Opening the Chassis Panel Screws The top panel on the chassis is secured by two screws on the back of the server.
IV. Hardware Setup Opening the Left Panel There are two identical side panels on the chassis, one on each side. To open the left side of the panel (see the left view), remove the side panel screw, then pull the handle outward while pulling the panel forward.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-2. Rear Cooling Fan Control Board The rear fans are controlled and monitored by a control board. The fan control board requires power input from the power supply which allows the individual fans to obtain their power when connected to the control board.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-3. Motherboard You can remove the extended expansion card guide before installing or re- moving the motherboard. All screws are necessary to provide the needed stabilization to support all the motherboard expansion cards used in this chas- sis.
IV. Hardware Setup Floppy Disk Drive Cable CD-ROM Drive Cable -pin SCSI Ca Power LED HDD LED ower Switch Chassis Intrusion nector Cable Device Cables Several cables are used for connecting devices in this chassis. The following picture points out the name of each cable and its suggested location. Plastic keepers protect the cables from contacting with the fans and other devices.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-4. Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard has two connectors for processor retention modules. One retention module can have one Xeon processor installed. Before installing the CPU, secure the motherboard on the rubber pad and metal baseboard. (See p.
IV. Hardware Setup Install Cartridge Lifters Each Xeon processor requires two lifters in order to allow safe removal of the processor. The lifters clamp on to the cartridge on the two holes at the top of each corner. For the lock bar, there is a left and a right side.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-5. Chassis Intrusion Switch The chassis provides a micro toggle switch that must be connected to the motherboard for the chassis intrusion detection to work. The moth- erboard will signal the ASMA software when the side panel is opened. The connection diagram is given here.
IV. Hardware Setup Chassis Intrusion Connector The two chassis intrusion switches are connected to the motherboard’s chassis intru- sion connector through a single connector. Chassis Intrusion Connector • 4-6. Expansion Cards Expansion cards can be easily installed just like on any stan- dard PC.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-7. Fixed Storage Devices 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. Floppy Drive and CD-ROM The floppy drive fits in the top- most bay along with the power button.
IV. Hardware Setup Fixed Device Bay Cover Clips The device bay panel is held by two plastic clips on each side. Press these clips in with a screwdriver to release. Fixed Device Bay Cover After releasing the device bay cover clips, pry the cover away from the chassis using a screw driver from the front.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-8. Five-Tray Hot-Swap Bay Maximum uptime in a server requires devices that can be easily replaced or “swapped.” The main hard drives are mounted in internal hot-swap trays for easy replacement. The AP3000 hot-swap bay has two different models: Five-tray hot-swap bay and three-tray hot-swap bay.
IV. Hardware Setup Hot-Swap Tray There are two levers on the front of the hot-swap tray to help release or lock the tray. To remove the tray, extend both levers and pull on both levers. To install the tray, push the tray firmly into the bay with the levers extended, then close the levers.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-10. Front Cooling Fans The front cooling fan module consists of a control board, a hard disk drive LED status board, and two cooling fans. The message LED board mounted in the front of the cooling fan module consists of five sets of LEDs to represent the status of up to five hard disk drives.
IV. Hardware Setup Connects to the SCSI Back plane Board LED Board Header (connects to the LED board through a ribbon cable) 3-pin Pin 1 3-pin Fan Header Fan Header Front Cooling Fan Control Board A cable connects the front cooling fan control board and the hard disk drive message board.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-11. SCSI Backplane The SCSI backplane of this server is comprised of one SCSI board (DA- BP5) with Ultra2 SCSI connectors, power inputs, and SCSI ID dip switches. This configuration allows Ultra2 SCSI SCA hard disk drives to be docked into the server.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-12. SCSI ID Setting SCSI ID settings are made through DIP switches located on the SCSI board. The SCSI board has four dip switches to set the hard drive’s power-ON delay and SCSI ID. SCSI ID Setting IDSEL1 IDSEL0 Slot1 Slot2 Slot3A/3B...
IV. Hardware Setup SCSI ID Dip Switches (Cont’) IDSEL1 IDSEL0 Slot1 Slot3B Slot5B IDSEL 1=off Resv. IDSEL 0=off IDSEL 1=on IDSEL 0=on IDSEL 1=on IDSEL 1=off IDSEL 1=off IDSEL 0=on NOTE All SCSI devices must have a SCSI identification number that is not in use by any other SCSI device.
IV. Hardware Setup • 4-14. SCSI Termination Terminating the SCSI bus “chain” is necessary for SCSI devices to work properly. Ultra2 devices do not have termination jumpers and must be ter- minated using a terminator on the SCSI cable which means you cannot connect a device on the last connector.
Ultra-SCSI technology is unstable over long lengths, therefore stability will depend on the quality of your cable and devices. • A total of 7 “Narrow Fast SCSI” devices (ID0-ID7) may be con- nected to the 50-pin Narrow connector. AP3000 Hardware Reference Guide...
