Notes

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperStorage 5018D2-AR12L/5018D4-AR12L/5018D8-AR12L 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 preinstalled.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the system 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 system. 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. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the 5018D2-AR12L/5018D4-AR12L/5018D8-AR12L 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.

2-4 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 any hot plug 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.).

Supermicro SuperServer 5018D4-AR12L - Reliable Ground - 1

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

  • This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
  • When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
  • If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the 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.

Note: These rails will fit a rack between 25.6" and 33" deep.

Installing the Chassis into a Standard Rack

The chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the chassis and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is fixed directly to the chassis and an outer rail that attaches to the rack.

The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install it into a rack.

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

text_image Inner Rail-- pre-attached to the chassis Outer Rails-- slide together Front and Rear Brackets-- attach to the rack

Supermicro SuperServer 5018D4-AR12L - Installing the Chassis into a Standard Rack - 2

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.

Assembling the Outer Rails

Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack.

Assembling the Outer Rails

  1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.
  2. Align the round post in the rear rail (B) with the round hole at the end of the slot in the front rail (A), and slide the front section into the rear section.

Supermicro SuperServer 5018D4-AR12L - Assembling the Outer Rails - 4

Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.

Outer Rail Installation

  1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the front of the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.
  2. Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.
  3. Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D) and push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack.
  4. Repeat the procedure for the other outer rail assembly.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

  1. Align the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
  2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. The spring latch engages when the chassis is part way in. Push the server completely into the rack.
  3. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

電源コードとACアダプター

This chapter describes the X10SDV-2C-7TP4F/X10SDV-4C-7TP4F/X10SDV-7TP4F motherboard including how to connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard 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 motherboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.

5-1 Handling the Motherboard

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 motherboard can cause it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the motherboard 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 motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

5-2 Connecting Cables

The cables include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

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 (be aware of the pin 1 locations). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10SDV-2C-7TP4F/X10SDV-4C-7TP4F/X10SDV-7TP4F 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 motherboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.

In addition, the JPH1 connector (to supply power for HDDs) and the JPV1 connector (to provide alternate power when JPW1 is not being used) may need to be connected to the power supply.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1 for the pin locations of the various 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. Connect one end of this cable to JF1 and the other end 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.

5-4 Installing Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION

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

Installing DIMMs

  1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slots DIMMA1. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. See Figure 5-3.
  2. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat step 1 to install to DIMM1B if needed.

Memory Support

The X10SDV-2C-7TP4F/X10SDV-4C-7TP4F/X10SDV-7TP4F has four DIMM sockets that can support up to 128 GB of ECC RDIMM (Registered DIMMs) or 64 GB of ECC/non-ECC UDIMM (Unregistered DIMMs) DDR4-2133/1866/1600 memory.

For the latest memory updates, please refer to our website. Please follow the tables below for correct installation.

Memory Installation Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, then DIMMA2, DIMMB2.

  • Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed. Mixing memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
  • The motherboard will support one DIMM module installed. However, for best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC801LTS-R406P 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 step that follows.

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 motherboard, 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 motherboard.

Unpacking

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

6-2 Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system status indications. A ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the motherboard to 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 LEDs inform you of system status.

See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

6-3 Removing Power from the System

Before performing most setup or maintenance tasks, use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system.

  1. Use the operating system to power down the system following the onscreen prompts.
  2. After the system has completely shut down, carefully grasp the head of the power cord and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system has dual power supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.
  3. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed upon each system boot, errors may occur.

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

Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with bootup. 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.

Note: A PC buzzer must be connected to JD1 to hear the BIOS Error Beep Codes.
