SUPER MICRO Computer 6014L-T CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation, Serial ATA Backplane

SUPERSERVER 6014L-T User's Manual

Serial ATA Backplane

The Serial ATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the Serial ATA drives. The backplane has two jumpers as follows:

JP18: Alarm reset

JP25: Hard drive temperature threshold

Settings: Open = 45º, Pins 1-2 = 50º, Pins 2-3 = 55º.

CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to both drives. The CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profi le to fi t into the 6014L-T. You must power down the system before installing or removing a CD-ROM or fl oppy drive.

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

To install either type of drive, start by disconnecting the drives' power and data cables then remove the two screws from either side of the bracket the secures the drives to the chassis. With these screws removed, you can then lift out the entire assembly (drives and bracket). Both the CD-ROM and the fl oppy drives are each secured to this bracket with four screws (two on either side). Remove these screws to take out the drive then install a new drive into the same space. Secure it to the bracket with the four screws. Then place the assembly back into place and secure it to the chassis with the two screws previously removed. Finish by reconnecting the drves' power and data cables.

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays.

• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
