SUPERSERVER 5014C-T User's Manual
Serial ATA Power Cables
Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the
airflow through the chassis. See the motherboard layout diagram for the
location of the cable connections.
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 the CD-
ROM and floppy drive bays. The CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to
fit into the 5014C-T.
First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. 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. You must power down the system
before installing or removing a CD-ROM or floppy drive.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully
installed in their bays.
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors
to provide for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires
always connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have
twisted wires always connects to drive B.
