Setting Up the Superdome or hp 9000 Superdome

After a site has been prepared, the system has been unpacked, and components have been inspected, the system can now be prepared for booting.

Moving the System and Related Equipment to the Installation Site

Carefully move the cabinet(s) and its related equipment to the installation site but not into its final location. If the system is to be placed at the end of a row, side bezels must be added before positioning the cabinet in its final location. Check the path from where the system was unpacked to its final destination to make sure the way is clear and free of obstructions. If the cabinet must be moved up ramps, be sure to maneuver it using three people.

Unpacking and Installing the Blower Housings and Blowers

There are two blower housings and four blowers for each cabinet. Although similar in size, the blower housings for each cabinet are not the same; one has a connector to which the other attaches. Use the following procedure to unpack and install the housings and blowers:

Unpack the housings from the cardboard box and set them aside.
The rear housing is labeled Blower 3 Blower 2. The front housing is labeled Blower 0 Blower 1.
CAUTION: Do not lift the housing by the stiffener.
Figure 2-12 Blower Housing Stiffener
Remove the cardboard from the blower housing.
This cardboard protects the housing baffle during shipping. If it is not removed, the fans will not work properly.
Figure 2-13 Removing Protective Cardboard from the Housing
NOTE: Double-check that the protective cardboard has been removed.
Using the handles on the housing labeled Blower 3 Blower 2, part number A5201-62029, align the edge of the housing over the edge at the top rear of the cabinet, slide it into place, and tighten the thumbscrews at the front of the housing.

If required, install housings on any other cabinets that were shipped with the system.

Attaching Side Skins and Blower Side Bezels

There are two cosmetic side panels that affix to the left and right sides of the system. In addition, there are bezels that cover the sides of the blowers.




	IMPORTANT: Be sure to attach the side skins at this time in the installation sequence, especially if the cabinet is to be positioned at the end of a row of cabinets or between cabinets.

Attaching the Side Skins

There are four side skins: two front-side skins and two rear-side skins.




	NOTE: Attach side skins to the left side of Cabinet 0 and the right side of Cabinet 1 (if applicable).

To attach the side skins:

If not already done, remove the side skins from their boxes and protective coverings.
From the end of the brackets at the back of the cabinet, position the side skin with the lap joint (rear) over the top bracket and under the bottom bracket, and gently slide it into position.
Two skins are installed on each side of the cabinet, one has a lap joint (rear) and one does not (front). The side skins with the lap joint is marked Rear and the side skins without the lap joint is marked Front.

Attach the skin without the lap joint (front) over the top bracket and under the bottom bracket and gently slide the skin into position.
Figure 2-18 Attaching the Front Side Skins
Push the side skins together, making sure the skins overlap at the lap joint.

Attaching the Blower Side Bezels

The bezels are held on at the top by the bezel lip, which fits over the top of the blower housing frame, and is secured at the bottom by tabs that fit into slots on the cabinet side panels.

The right and left blower side bezels are attached using the same procedure.

Place the side bezel slightly above the blower housing frame.
Figure 2-19 Attaching the Side Bezels and Blower Bracket Locks
Align the lower bezel tabs to the slots in the side panels.
Lower the bezel so the bezel top lip fits securely on the blower housing frame and the two lower tabs are fully inserted into the side panel slots.

Using a Torx 10 drive, attach the screws (Hewlett-Packard P/N 0515-4271) to secure the skins to the brackets.




	NOTE: Use four screws to attach the side skins to the top and bottom brackets, except for the top bracket on the right side (facing the front of the cabinet). Do not attach the rear screw on that bracket. Insert all screws but do not tighten until all side skins are aligned.

Repeat Step 1 through Step 4 for the skins on the other side of the cabinet.
To secure the side bezels to the side skins, attach the blower bracket locks (Hewlett-Packard P/N A5201-00268) to the front and back blowers using a T20 Torx driver.
There are two blower bracket locks on the front blowers and two on the rear. Refer to Figure 2-19 “ Attaching the Side Bezels and Blower Bracket Locks”.

Attaching the Leveling Feet and Leveling the cabinet

After positioning the cabinet to its final position, attach and adjust the leveling feet using the following procedure:

Remove the leveling feet from their packages.
Attach the leveling feet to the cabinet using four (T25 Torx) screws.
Figure 2-20 Attaching the Leveling Feet
Screw down each leveling foot clockwise, until it is in firm contact with the floor. Adjust each foot until the cabinet is level.

Installing the Front Door Bezels and the Front and Back Blower Bezels

There are two doors: one at the front and one at the back. The back door is shipped on the chassis and requires no assembly. The front door, which is also shipped on the chassis, requires the assembly of two plastic bezels to its front surface and a cable from the door to the upper front bezel. In addition, there are bezels that fit over the blowers at the front and back of the cabinet.

Installing the Front Door Bezels

The front door assembly includes two cosmetic covers, a control panel, and a key lock. Installing the front door is a three-step process: connecting the control panel ribbon cable from the chassis to the control panel, and mounting the two plastic bezels onto the metal chassis door.




	NOTE: The procedure in this section requires two people and must be performed with the front metal chassis door open.

To install the front door assembly:

Open the door, unsnap the screen, and remove all the filters held in place with Velcro.
Remove the cabinet keys that are taped inside the top front door bezel.
Insert the shoulder studs on the lower door bezel into the holes on the front door metal chassis.

Installing and Verifying the PDCA

All systems are delivered with the appropriate cable plug for Options 6 and 7.

Check the voltages at the receptacle prior to plugging in the PDCA plug. Refer to Figure 2-26 “Four-Wire Connector” and Figure 2-27 “Five-Wire Connector” for pin locations.

To verify the proper wiring for a four-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the receptacle. Voltage should read 200 - 240 Vac phase-to-phase as measured between the receptacle pins as follows: L1 to L2, L2 to L3, L1 to L3.
To verify the proper wiring for a five-wire PDCA, use a DVM to measure the voltage at the receptacle. Voltage should read 200 - 240 Vac phase-to-neutral as measured between the receptacle pins as follows: L1 to N, L2 to N, L3 to N.

Figure 2-25 PDCA Assembly for Options 6 and 7

CAUTION: Do not check voltages with the PDCA breaker set to On. Make sure the electrical panel breaker is On and the PDCA breaker is Off.
Plug in the PDCA connector.
Check the voltage at the PDCA.
1. Using a T20 Torx driver, remove the screw on the hinged panel at the top of the PDCA. Refer to Figure 2-29 “Checking PDCA Test Points (5-Wire)”.
2. Using a Volt-Ohm meter (VOM), check the following test points to make sure they conform to the specifications for the PDCA and local electrical specifications:
If the voltage values do not match the specifications, have the customer contact an electrician to troubleshoot the problem.

Figure 2-29 Checking PDCA Test Points (5-Wire)

Table 2-3 4- and 5-Wire Voltage Ranges

4-Wire	5-Wire
L2 to L3: 200-240 V	L1 to N: 200-240 V
L2 to L1: 200-240 V	L2 to N: 200-240 V
L1 to L3: 200-240 V	L3 to N: 200-240 V
	N to Ground: ^[1]
^[1]Neutral to ground voltage can vary from millivolts to several volts depending on the distance to the ground/neutral bond at the transformer. Anything over 3 V should be investigated by a site prep or power specialists.

Removing the EMI Panels

Remove the front and back electromagnetic interference (EMI) panels to access ports and to visually check whether components are in place and the LEDs are properly illuminated when power is applied to the system.

To remove the front and back EMI panels:

Using a T20 Torx driver, loosen the captive screw at the top center of the front EMI panel.

Use the handle provided to remove the EMI panel and set it aside.
When in position, the EMI panels (front and back) are tightly in place. Removing them takes controlled, but firm, exertion.
Loosen the captive screw at the lower center of the back EMI panel.
Figure 2-31 Removing the Back EMI Panel
Use the handle provided to gently remove the EMI panel; then, set it aside.

Connecting the Cables

The I/O cables are attached and tied inside the cabinet. When the system is installed, these cables must be untied, routed, and connected to the cabinets where the other end of the cables terminate. Use the following guidelines and Figure 2-32 “Cable Labeling” to route and connect cables. For more information on cable routing, refer to “Routing I/O Cables”.

Each cabinet is identified with a unique color. The cabinet color label is located at the top of the cabinet.
The colored label closest to the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet to which it is attached.
The colored label farther away from the cable connector corresponds to the color of the cabinet where the other end of the cable is attached. In Figure 2-32 “Cable Labeling”, the dotted lines show where the label is located and where the cable terminates.
Each cable is also labeled with a unique number. This number label is applied on both ends of the cable and near the port where the cable is to be connected. In Figure 2-32 “Cable Labeling”, the cable number labels are indicated by circled numbers and the cabinet port numbers are indicated with boxed numbers.

Figure 2-32 Cable Labeling

Routing I/O Cables

Routing the cables is a significant task in the installation process. It is important not only for the immediate need of completing the installation, but efficient cable routing is important when future service calls are made.

Neatness counts. The most efficient use of space is to route cables so that they are not crossed or tangled.

Figure 2-33 Routing I/O Cables

Use the following procedure and guidelines to route cables through the cable groomer at the bottom rear of the cabinet.

Remove the cable access plate at the bottom of the groomer.
Beginning at the front of the cabinet, route the cables using the following pattern:
1. Route the first cable on the left side of the left-most card cage first. Route it under the PCI-X card cage toward the back of the cabinet and down through the first slot at the right of the cable groomer.
2. Route the second cable on the left side of the left-most card cage to the right of the first cable, and so on, until routing all of the cables in the card cage is complete.
  The number and width of cables vary from system to system. Use judgement and the customer’s present and estimated future needs to determine how many cables should be routed through each cable groomer slot.
3. After routing the left most card cage at the front of the cabinet, route the cables in right-most card cage at the back of the cabinet. Begin with the right cable in the card cage and work toward the left.
4. After routing the cables in right-most card cage at the rear of the cabinet, return to the front of the system and route the cables in the next card cage to the right.
5. Repeat the above pattern until all of the cables are routed.
Connect the Management Processor (MP) cables last.
Reattach the cable access plate at the bottom of the cable groomer.
Reattach the cable groomer kick plate at the back of the cabinet.
Slip the L bracket(s) under the power cord on the rear of the PDCA.
While holding the L bracket in place, insert the PDCA completely into the cabinet and secure the L bracket with one screw.
