DVD-ROM Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6018R-TDTP/TDTPR accomodates only slim-line DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive in the
6018R-TDTP/TDTPR server. You must power down the system before installing or
removing a DVD-ROM drive.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover. 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.
Removing/Installing a Drive
1. With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the
drive you want to remove.
2. Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the
drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.
3. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the
chassis.
4. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a
faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.
5. Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replac-
ing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system.
6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 6018R-TDTP has a single 600 watt power supply while the 6018R-
TDTPR features a redundant, 500W hot-plug power supply. Both are auto-switching
capable, enabling the power modules to automatically sense and operate with a
100V - 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
6018R-TDTP
If the power supply module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to
replace the module. Replacements can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see
contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply module in
the server, power must be completely removed before removing and replacing the
power supply for whatever reason.
Replacing the Power Supply
1. With the power shut down, unplug the AC power cord from the power supply.
2. Extend the chassis from the rack if necessary, then remove the top chassis
cover.
3. To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws that secure the
power module to its housing inside the chassis. You can then pull the unit
straight out of the chassis.
4. Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. You must re-
place it with the exact same power supply (same model number).
5. Carefully insert the new unit into position into the chassis and secure it with
the two screws you removed previously.
6. Reconnect the AC power cord, replace the top chassis cover and push the
unit back into the rack.
7. Finish by powering up the server with the power button on the front control
panel.
