The X8DTU-LN4F+ features 18 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 288 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 or 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM. Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

UIO

The X8DTU-LN4F+ is a specially-designed serverboard that features Supermicro's UIO (Universal I/O) technology. UIO serverboards have a PCI Express 2.0 x8 slot that can support any one of several types of UIO card types to add SAS ports, SATA ports, additional LAN ports or other additional functions to the serverboard. This allows the user to tailor the serverboard to their own needs.

Note: the server does not come with a UIO card installed.

Serial ATA

An on-chip (ICH10R) SATA controller is integrated into the X8DTU-LN4 provide a six-port, 3 Gb/sec SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported (RAID 5 is supported with Windows OS only). The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: You must have RAID set up to enable the hot-swap capability of the SATA drives. Documentation on RAID setup guidelines can be found on our web site.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, one dedicated IPMI LAN port and four gigabit Ethernet ports.

Graphics Controller

The X8DTU-LN4F+ features an integrated Matrox G200eW graphics chip, which includes 16 MB of DDR2 memory.

Other Features

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 2026T-URF4+ up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory pre-installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 2026T-URF4+ was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 2026T-URF4+. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the 2026T-URF4+ was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (\~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing. This product is for

installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

- This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to • the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow the hot plug SAS/SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airflow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 2026T-URF4+ into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the chassis and an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

Locking Tabs

Both inner chassis rails have a locking tab. The tabs lock the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Inner Rack Rails

Figure 2-2. Inner Rail Extensions

The Inner Rail Extensions

The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. When using a rack, attach the inner rail extension to the inner rail to stabilize the chassis within the rack. If you are not using a rack, you do not have to install the inner rail extensions.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks 1. of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.

Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.

Secure the rail extension to the chassis with the screws provided. Repeat 3. steps 1 through 3 above for the other inner rail extension.

Figure 2-3. Extending and Releasing the Outer Rails

Outer Rack Rails

Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the chassis in place. The SC213 comes equipped with quick-release outer rails that allow the chassis to be easily extended or removed from the rack.

Identifying the Outer Rails

Identify the two outer rack rails.1.

Pull out the end of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated above.2.

Note the location of the release tab which will allow the outer rail extension 3. to be separated from the outer rail. Do not release it at this time. If released, simply depress the release tab and slide the outer rail extension back into the outer rail.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.4.

Figure 2-3. Extending and Releasing the Outer Rails

Attaching the Outer Rack Rails to the Rack

The outer rails attach to the rack and allow easy access to the chassis.

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

Press the button to retract the outer rail extensions.1.

Hang the hooks of the front portion of the outer rail onto the slots of the rack. 2. If necessary, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack, as illustrated above.

Hang the hooks of the rear portion of the outer rail onto the slots of the rack. 3. Use screws as shown in step two to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining outer rail.4.

Figure 2-4. Installing into a Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Confirm that the inner rails (A) and rail extensions (B) are properly installed. Confirm that the outer rails (C) and outer rail extensions (D) are correctly installed on the rack.

Line chassis inner rails with the front of the rack outer rails.2.

Slide the chassis inner rails into the rack outer rails, keeping the pressure 3. even on both sides. (It may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting the rails). When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click" into the locked position.

If necessary, insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the 4. server to the rack.

Figure 2-5. Securing the Chassis to the Rack

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the system in the rack, you will need to open the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Accessing the Inside of the System

Disconnect the chassis from any power source. 1.

Press both release tabs at the same time to release the cover from the locked 2. position.

Once the top cover has been released, slide the cover backwards, toward the 3. rear of the chassis.

Lift the cover up and off the chassis.4.

Checking the Components

You may have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. 1. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 2. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for 3. details on installing PCI add-on cards.

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking 4. the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

Figure 2-6. Accessing the Inside of the System

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the hard drives and backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

All drives are accessible from the front of the server. The hard disk drives 1. can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

A slim DVD-ROM drive may be preinstalled in your server. For servicing the 2. DVD-ROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.

1. Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.

Checking the Air ow

1. Airflow is provided by five sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate the most heat.

Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2. do not block the airflow generated by the fans.

Providing Power

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1. power cord from the power supply module into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.

It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) 2. source.

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

Reset

The reset button reboots the system.

Power

The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC219 chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system.

This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

NIC2

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the 2026T-URF4+ this light indicates HDD and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

Power

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

Power Failure

When this LED flashes, it indicates a power failure in the power supply.

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

● Green: Each hard drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed hard drives.

- Red: The red LED to indicate a hard drive failure. If one of the drives fail, you should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed hard drives.

Notes

Chapter 4

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 2026T-URF4+ from damage:

• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.
• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and floppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the operating system first and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.
• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
• The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets. The unit has more than one power

supply cord. Disconnect both power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock

• Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• DVD-ROM has this server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.
• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the system clean and free of clutter.
• The 2026T-URF4+ weighs approximately 55 lbs. (25 kg. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.
• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

- After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit after ensuring that all connections have been made.

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

- Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags • until ready for use.

- Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

- Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

- Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

- When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

- For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

4-4 Operating Precautions

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 2026T-URF4+ is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Figure 4-1. Installing the Onboard Battery

Please handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the garbage or a public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X8DTU-LN4F+ serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.

The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

- Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.

- When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic • bags when not in use.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it first before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The X8DTU-LN4F+ can support either one or two processors. If installing one processor only, install it into the CPU1 socket.

Note:

When purchasing a CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

Installing LGA1366 Processors

Starting with CPU1, press the 1. socket clip to release the load plate, which covers the CPU socket, from its locked position.

Gently lift the socket clip to open 2. the load plate.

Hold the plastic cap at its north 3. and south center edges to remove it from the CPU socket.

Note: The photos on this page and succeeding pages are for illustration purposes only. They do not necessarily reflect the exact product(s) described in this manual.

Holding the north & south edges

After removing the plastic cap, use 1. your thumb and the index finger to hold the CPU at the north and south center edges.

Align the CPU key (the semi-circle 2. cutout) with the socket key (the notch below the gold color dot on the side of the socket).

Once the CPU and the socket are 3. aligned, carefully lower the CPU straight down into the socket. Do not rub the CPU against the surface of the socket or its pins to avoid damaging the CPU or the socket.

With the CPU in the socket, in-4. spect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that it sits level and is properly installed.

Once the CPU is securely seated 5. in the socket, lower the CPU load plate to the socket.

Use your thumb to gently push the 6. socket clip down to the clip lock.

Repeat for the CPU2 socket for a 7. dual-processor configuration.

Important! Please save the plastic cap. The serverboard must be shipped with the plastic cap properly installed to protect the CPU socket pins. Shipment without the plastic cap properly installed may cause damage to the socket pins.

Installing the Heatsink

Place the heatsink on top of the 1. CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the retention mechanism.

Remove the thin layer of protective 2. fi Im from the copper core of the heatsink.

Warning: The CPU may over-heat if the protective film is not removed from the heatsink.

Apply the proper amount of ther-3. mal grease on the CPU. If your heatsink came with a thermal pad, please ignore this step.

Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. 4. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not over-tighten the screws, which may damage the CPU.)

Finish the installation by fully tight-5. ening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or other components.

Unplug the power cord from the power supply.1.

Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the 1. sequence shown in the picture below.

Hold the heatsink and 2. gently wiggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when doing this!)

Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from 3. the CPU.

Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink 4. to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before you re-install the heatsink.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard.

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.

The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.

- SATA cables (SATA0 \~ SATA5)*

Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page) •

Note: an optional UIO card is required to support four HDDs on the 2026T-URF4+

Connecting Power Cables

The X8DTU-LN4F+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.

In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power connectors at JPW2 and JPW3.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin locations of the front control panel buttons and LED indicators. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the system status LEDs in the chassis.

See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descriptions of JF1.

5-5 Installing Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.

Installing DIMMs

Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slot 1. P1-DIMM1A. For best performance, install memory modules of the same type and same speed in the slots as indicated in the tables below.

Insert each DIMM vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the 2. bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly (see Figure 5-5).

Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. 3. Repeat for all modules

Memory Support

The X8DTU-LN4F+ supports up to 288 GB of registered ECC or 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM in 18 DIMM slots

5-6 Adding PCI Cards

PCI Expansion Slots

The X8DTU-LN4F+ has one Universal PCI slot. Riser cards installed to the system allow you to add PCI expansion cards (see below). The SC219TQ-R920UBP chassis can support the use of one PCI-E 2.0 x8, two PCI-E 2.0 x4 add-on cards and a UIO slot on the left side and two PCI-E 2.0 x4 add-on cards on the right side (with pre-installed riser cards).

PCI Card Installation

Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you power off the system first. Begin by removing the top chassis cover. Two riser cards should be pre-installed into the system. Remove the screws that secure the riser cards to the rear of the chassis then lift the riser card assembly from the chassis. Insert the PCI card into the riser card slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card - note that the add-on card attaches to the riser card with a single screw. After the card has been installed, reinsert the riser card back into the expansion slot on the board, then secure it with the same screws you removed previously. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

5-9 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the serverboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the diagram at right for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the serverboard layout page for jumper locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To clear CMOS

First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).1.

With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such 2. as a small screwdriver.

Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).3.

Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.4.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

Note: Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the readme files for each item. Click the computer icons to the right of these items to install each item (from top to the bottom) one at a time. After installing each item, you must re-boot the system before moving on to the next item on the list. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you to view the entire contents of the CD.

Supero Doctor III

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web base management tool that supports remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local management is called SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the CDROM that came with your serverboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

Note: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN / ADMIN.

Note: When SuperDoctor III is first installed, it adopts the temperature threshold settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within Super Doctor, as the Super Doctor settings override the BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would first need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.

Notes

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC219 chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.

Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.

Precautions

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

- For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Figure 6-1. Chassis: Front and Rear Views

6-2 Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. These wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path.

The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup."

6-3 System Fans

Four 8-cm hot-swap fans provide the cooling for the 2026T-URF4+. These fans are located on the front side of the fan bracket. In addition, three optional fans may be placed on the rear side of the fan bracket for cooling redundancy. An air shroud is also included to concentrate the air flow for a greater cooling effect.

It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails, the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

Replacing System Fans

If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which 1. fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis open.)

Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it 2. completely out of the chassis.

Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the 3. arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.

Finish by replacing the chassis cover. 4.

Technical line drawing of a server rack with internal components and a downward arrow indicating compression (no text or symbols present)

Figure 6-5. Installing the Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SC219 chassis air shroud does not require screws for installation.

Installing the Air Shroud

1. Lay the chassis on a flat, stable surface and remove the chassis cover.

Ensure that the motherboard, CPU, heatsink and memory are all properly 2. installed.

If necessary, move any cables that interfere with the air shroud placement.3.

1. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits just behind the fans in the fan rack. Slide the air shroud into the grooves just behind the fan rack. Note that some serverboards may require the air shroud to be modified to fit over the serverboard. The SC219 chassis air shroud is designed with break-away pieces that may be removed to accommodate differing styles of serverboards.

Accessing the Drive Bays

SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace the SATA drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 2026T-URF4+ by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the 2026T-URF4+.

Hard Drive Installation

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier

Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so 1. that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-6.2.

Removing a Hard Drive Carrier

To remove a carrier, push the release button located on the drive carrier.1.

Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see 2. Figure 6-7).

Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the hard drives.

Warning! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/storage.cfm

Figure 6-7. Removing Hard Drive Tray

Hard Drive Backplane

The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power and drive ID. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no jumpers or switches present on it.

Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.

Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The 2026T-URF4+ accomodates only slim-line DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM drive in the 2026T-URF4+ server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVD-ROM drive.

Removing/Installing a Drive

With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the 1. drive you want to remove.

Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the 2. drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.

Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the 3. chassis.

Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a 4.faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.

Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replac-5. ing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system.

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 2026T-URF4+ has a 920 watt redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Removing the Power Supply

Determine which power supply needs to be replaced and unplug the AC 1. power cord to that module.

Push the release tab (on the back of the power supply) as illustrated to re-2. lease the power module from the chassis.

While holding down the release tab, pull the power supply out using the 3. handle provided on the power module.

Replace the failed power module with the same model power supply.4.

Push the new power supply module into the power bay until the tab clicks into 5. the locked position.

Plug the AC power cord back into the module and the replacement power mod-6. ule will automatically power-up.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTU-LN4F+. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the key while the system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note: the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include , , , , arrow keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing at the appropriate time during system boot.

Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the AMI BIOS Recovery Instructions posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen below the copyright message.

CPU Overheat Alarm

This option allows the user to select the CPU Overheat Alarm setting which determines when the CPU OH alarm will be activated to provide warning of possible CPU overheat.

Warning! 1. Any temperature that exceeds the CPU threshold temperature predefined by the CPU manufacturer may result in CPU overheat or system instability. When the CPU temperature reaches this predefined threshold, the CPU and system cooling fans will run at full speed. 2. To avoid possible system overheating, please be sure to provide adequate airflow to your system.

The options are:

• The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefined by the CPU manufacturer.
• The Defaulith Alerting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature reaches about 5°C above the threshold temperature as predefined by the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below.

CPU 1 Temperature/CPU 2 Temperature/System Temperature

This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System.

The following items will be displayed for your reference only:

CPU1 Temperature/CPU2 Temperature

The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahrenheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This ‘Temperature Threshold’ or ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different ‘Temperature Tolerances’, the installed CPU can now send information to the motherboard what its ‘Temperature Tolerance’ is, and not the other way around. This results in better CPU thermal management.

Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU's temperature status, rather than by just simply

seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25^ C). The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:

Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).

User intervention: No action required.

Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.

User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.

High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s ‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm.

User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to correct any problems.

Notes: 1. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.

1. The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on thermal management, please refer to Intel's Web site at www.Intel.com.

System Temperature: The system temperature will be displayed (in degrees in Celsius and Fahrenheit) as it is detected by the BIOS.

Fan 1 \~ Fan 8 Reading

This feature displays the fan speed readings from fan interfaces Fan 1 through Fan 8.

Fan Speed Control Modes

This feature allows the user to decide how the system controls the speeds of the onboard fans. The CPU temperature and the fan speed are correlative. When the CPU on-die temperature increases, the fan speed will also increase for effective system cooling. Select "Full Speed/FS" to allow the onboard fans to run at full speed for maximum cooling. The FS setting is recommended for special system configuration or debugging. Select "Performance/PF" for better system cooling. The PF setting is recommended for high-power-consuming and high-density systems.

Select "Balanced/BL" for the onboard fans to run at a speed that will balance the needs between system cooling and power saving. The BL setting is recommended for regular systems with normal hardware configurations. Select "Energy Saving/ES" for best power efficiency and maximum quietness. The Options are: Full Speed/FS, Performance/PF, Balanced/BL, and Energy Saving/ES.

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the corresponding error.
