Page 14: Chassis Panels
II. System Components Chassis Panels There are two identical side panels on the chassis, one on each side. Each panel is secured by two large thumb screws on the front of the server. 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. -
Page 15: Chassis Circulation System
The fan module’s operating status can be viewed through the ASUS ASMA software. If an individual fan fails, remove the fan and send it back to the vendor for replacement. If both fans fail, it may be that the fan control board needs replacing. -
Page 16: Rear Cooling Fan Control Board
II. System Components Rear Cooling Fan Control Board The rear fans are controlled and monitored by a control board. The fan con- trol board requires power input from the power supply which allows the individual fans to obtain their power when connected to the control board. The control board also sends fan status information to the LEDs located on the front of the server and to the ASMA software. -
Page 17: Rear Cooling Fan Control Board Settings
II. System Components Rear Cooling Fan Control Board Settings The rear fan control board has DIP switches to allow controlling the number of fans and the control board. DIP Switch SET1 Fan control setting ON (momentarily) Reset Control Board SET2 SET3 OFF ON OFF ON OFF OFF... -
Page 18: Message Led Description
II. System Components Front Cooling Fan Control Board The front cooling fans’ main purpose is to cool the hard disk drives. These fans also have a fan control board like the rear cooling fans. The front cool- ing fan module consists of a control board, a hard disk drive LED status board, and two cooling fans. -
Page 19: Fixed Storage Device Tray
II. System Components Fixed Storage Device Tray Internal fixed storage devices are mounted on removable trays. There are four available, one for a floppy device and another three for full-size de- vices. There are six screws provided (as circled) for mounting a 4 inch de- vice such as a floppy or hard disk drive. -
Page 20: Fixed Storage Devices
II. System Components Fixed Storage Devices Floppy Drive and CD-ROM The floppy drive fits in the topmost bay along with the power button. A CD- ROM can fit into either the second, third, or fourth bay from the top. A metal clip on each side of the device tray secures the tray in place. -
Page 21: Hot-Swap Trays
II. System Components Hot-Swap Trays 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 AP2500 hot-swap bay has two different models. The 1.6 inch SCA hot-swap bay can accommodate three 1.6 inch hard disk drives. - Page 22 (This page was intentionally left blank) AP2500 Hardware Reference Guide...

Page 23: Hot-Swap Bay
II. System Components Hot-Swap Bay There are two levers on the front of the hot swap tray to help re- lease 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. -
Page 24: Scsi Backplane
II. System Components 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 using a SCA connector. -
Page 25: Scsi Id Setting
II. System Components 1.6” Tray Connector #5B 1.6” Tray Connector #3B 1.6” Tray Connector #1 SCSI ID Setting SCSI ID settings are made through DIP switches located on the SCSI board.
