What your IBM Netfinity 4000R offers
The IBM Netfinity 4000R is designed to be cost effective, powerful, and flexible. Your server offers: Impressive performance using an innovative approach to SMP on models with two Pentium III microprocessors. Large system memory The memory subsystem in your server supports up to 2 GB of system memory. The memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) support for 100 MHz SDRAM memory. Integrated network environment support Your Netfinity 4000R comes with two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Controllers on the system board. Each Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks. The server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. Each controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability. Full duplex allows simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). Redundant Ethernet connection Your server provides a failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic associated with this primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant Ethernet connection. This switching occurs without data loss and without user intervention.

Reliability, availability, and serviceability features
Three of the most important factors in server design are reliability, availability, and serviceability (RAS). These factors help to ensure the integrity of the data stored on your server; that your server is available when you want to use it; and that should a failure occur, you can possibly diagnose the failure and have it repaired with minimal inconvenience. The following is a partial list of the built-in RAS features on the IBM Netfinity server. Power-on self-test (POST) Customer support center 24 hours per day5 Error checking and correcting (ECC) memory Error codes and messages Upgradable BIOS Automatic restart after power failure Parity checking on the SCSI bus and serial ports Monitoring and reporting the status of cooling systems through a status indicator on the front of the server. Redundant Ethernet capabilities
Upgradable BIOS
When BIOS upgrades are available, you can download a CD image from the http://www.ibm.com/pc/support Web pages. Instructions for applying the BIOS upgrade will be on the CD. If you are unable to create a CD yourself, you can order a BIOS upgrade CD from the IBM HelpCenter (1-800-772-2227 in the United States, 1-800-565-3344 in Canada).

Response time will vary, depending on the number and nature of calls received. Netfinity® 4000R User's Handbook
6
Placement considerations
Multiple servers can be interconnected to serve as a single group, or cluster. Each rack can contain multiple groups of servers. Generally, the number of servers you can install in a rack depends on how many power distribution units (PDUs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), and other devices you have installed in the rack. Notes: 1. You must connect the power cord of each IBM Netfinity 4000R to a properly-grounded PDU. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/netfinity to locate a PDU. 2. For air flow reasons, when IBM Netfinity 4000Rs are mounted in succession in a rack, there must be no intervening spaces between the IBM Netfinity 4000Rs. With the use of the console adapter that comes with your server, a console (monitor, mouse, and keyboard) is physically attached to the server.

Under typical maximum configurations, the heat output will be substantially below the theoretical maximum. Power consumption and heat output vary depending on the number and type of optional features installed and the power-management optional features in use. These levels were measured in controlled acoustical environments according to ISO 7779, and are reported in accordance with ISO 9296. The declared sound power levels indicate an upper limit, below which a large portion of machines operate. Sound pressure levels in your location might exceed the average 1-meter values stated because of room reflections and other nearby noise. Netfinity® 4000R User's Handbook

Preparing the server
1. Remove the two screws from the left side of the server. (These screws also hold the top cover on--do not attempt to remove the cover.) 2. Remove the two screws from the right side of the server.
3. Attach the inner slide section of each slide rail assembly to the side of the server. a. Pull the inner slide from each slide rail assembly until the safety latch locks. b. Press the safety latch 1 ; then, pull the inner slide firmly until it detaches from the outer slide rail.
14
Netfinity® 4000R User's Handbook
c. Align the holes on the inner slide with the holes on the side of the server; then, attach the slide with three screws from the rack mount kit and the two screws you removed earlier. Note: If there are only enough screws in the rack mount kit to use two additional screws on each side, instead of three, install the rack mount kit screws in the second and fourth screw holes on each side of the server.
Preparing the rack
Important: 1. Installing the server in a rack might require two people. 2. To ensure cabinet stability, install heavier devices such as UPSs starting from the bottom of the rack enclosure. 3. If you are installing different server and server models in the rack enclosure, install the heaviest models in the lower part of the rack enclosure. 4. If you are installing multiple servers in the rack, install all the nut bars and slide rails for all the servers first, then install each server in the rack. 5. Review the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure for safety or cabling considerations. Ensure that your planned installation is within the rack enclosure guidelines for heat generation, electrical requirements, air flow and mechanical loading. Complete the following procedure to attach the mounting hardware to the rack enclosure. Notes: a. You must align the slide rails correctly or the installation cannot be completed. b. The slide rail assemblies each have two screws on the rear bracket to allow for length adjustment. 1. Remove the door from the rack and store it. The server requires more ventilation than the rack door allows. See your rack documentation for details on removing the door.
Chapter 2. Installing the server in the rack enclosure
