Handling Precautions

WARNING: This system has internal components which may be damaged by electrostatic discharge.

To protect internal components from electrostatic damage, be sure to observe the following precautions when

handling or storing the system:

• The MBT8301 has a net chassis weight of approximately 41.0lbs. (18.59kg). This base chassis weight

includes the chassis, an MBC8240 modular blade card, an TMI8241 mid-plane inteface board, and a rear-

mounted AC power supply. Use proper lifting techniques when moving and installing the system.

• When removing or installing boards and sub-components, keep these components in their static-shielded

bag and/or packaging until you are ready to for component installation.

• Handle the sub-components by their edges.

• Do not touch any sub-component I/O connector pins. Do not apply pressure or attach labels to the board-

level sub-components.

• Use a grounded wrist strap at your system or ground yourself frequently by touching the metal chassis of

the system before handling any sub-components.

• Ensure the systems external power source has a solid connection to an earth ground.

• Use antistatic padding on all work surfaces when installing or removing sub-components.

• Avoid static-inducing carpeted areas.

Before You Begin

Introduction

It is important to be aware of the information listed below before installing your Trenton modular blade

server. System performance may be affected by incorrect usage of these features.

External Power Source –Redundant 900w Power Supply Version

Incoming AC power must be supplied to both of the power supply receptacles located at the rear of the chassis.

These dual AC power connections ensure that the active system power supply; as well as the stand-by/fail-over

supply, is each connected to a power source with a solid earth ground, and each supply must have an incoming

power source of: 100-127/200-240VAC, 10A/5A at 50 to 60Hz.

Chassis Airflow

When installing the chassis, ensure that a minimum free air space is available around the system. The installation

should have a minimum of 4-6 inches (101-152mm) behind the chassis and 7-8 inches

(178-203mm) in front of the chassis. Any front cabinet doors or access aisles must accommodate a MBT8301 front

chassis clearance of at least 7.0” (178mm) in order to provide proper clearance for the fan FRU replacement.

Ideally, a chassis clearance of 0.5-1.5 inches (13-38mm) above the system is desirable

CHASSIS PLACEMENT

The MBT8301 system is designed with ruggedness in mind, however, precautions should be observed to ensure safe

and reliable performance. Place the chassis on a flat, stable surface capable of supporting both the system weight

and any anticipated peripherals. Installation area should be secure and free from danger of liquid or airborne

contaminants that could damage internal components as well as supporting all airflow requirements.

Chapter 1 | Modular Blade System Overview

Description

The Trenton MBT8301-xxx is a CE-compliant and UL recognized, modular blade server tower optimized for

system performance, longevity, and easy field support. The tower-style enclosure of the MBT8301 is

designed for both server room and rugged field deployment locations that require outstanding system

performance in a form factor comparable to traditional mid tower chassis designs.

At the heart of the MBT8301 is Trenton’s U.S. designed and Made in America MBC8240 modular blade card

or SBC. The MBC8240 SBC supports a long-life Intel® processor that delivers superior multi-core

processing performance with the thermal characteristics necessary for reliable and long-term 1U rackmount

server operation in a wide variety of application environments. The MBT8301 chassis supports two, 2.5”

front-access/hot-swap HDD carriers, one media drive bay, and an AC power supply. These components

maximize power delivery and cooling to ensure long-life system reliability with minimal Mean-Time-To-

Repair (MTTR) times.

The MBT8301 server solution supports seven Ethernet interfaces with one port dedicated to remote system

management, up to two HDD or SDD storage drives, an optical media drive, and a hot swappable power

supply. The MBT8301 also has the ability to support an off-the-shelf PCI Express plug-in option card. Some

typical MBT8301 applications include data servers, industrial automation machinery, and weapon control

systems.

MBT8301 Modular Blade Server Configurations

NOTE: The following chart illustrates the SBC, mid-plane interface board, system power supply

configurations supported in the Trenton MBT8301-xxx modular blade server. The three characters to the

right on the hyphen indicate the blade server’s power supply configuration. Other system configuration

parameters include the SBC’s installed processor and system memory DIMMs.
