Processors

The X10DRi/X10DRi-T supports single or dual Intel E5-2600 (V3) Series (Socket R3) processors in LGA 2011 sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com). Note that with only a single processor installed (into the CPU1 socket), PCI-E slots 4\~6 will not function.

Memory

The X10DRi/X10DRi-T has sixteen DIMM slots that can support up to 1 TB of ECC registered/unbuffered DDR4-2133/1866/1333/1600 memory. Please refer to Chapter 5 for details on installing memory.

SATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA 3.0 subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and 5 capable. Six ports are supported by the Intel PCH: I-SATA0-5 (I-SATA 4 and 5 are colored yellow to indicate that they have embedded power to support SATA DOMs) and four are supported by the Intel SCU (S-SATA0-3).

PCI Expansion Slots

The X10DRi/X10DRi-T has three PCI-E 3.0 x16 and three PCI-E 3.0 x8 expansion slots. Note that the PCI slots are controlled by the CPU so some slots may not be available when two CPUs are not installed on the board at the same time. See the serverboard layout in Chapter 5 for details.

I/O Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, four USB ports, two Ethernet LAN ports (10 Gb ports on the X10DRi-T and 1 Gb ports on the X10DRi) and a dedicated IPMI LAN port.

Graphics Controller

The X10DRi/X10DRi-T features an integrated Aspeed 2400 controller.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6028R-T/TT 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 SuperServer 6028R-T/TT 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 SuperServer 6028R-T/TT. 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 SuperServer 6028R-T/TT 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. Thus, 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.).

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 SuperServer 6028R-T/TT into a rack unit. If the 6028R-T/TT has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the 6028R-T/TT into a rack with the rack rails provided. 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 with the SuperServer 6028R-T/TT. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6028R-T/TT (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

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

A B

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position one of the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the 6028R-T/TT. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Slide the rail toward the front of the chassis (see arrows in Figure 2-2) until you hear them click into place with the retention hooks on the chassis. The screw holes should now be aligned - screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2).

Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, 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 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Line drawing of a server rack unit with multiple drive bays and ventilation slots (no text or labels)

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6028R-T/TT in the rack. (See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

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

Installing the Server into the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

Technical line drawing of a server rack with multiple drive bays and connecting racks (no text or symbols)

Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be installed in racks from the bottom up.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6028R-T/TT into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accommodate the width of the telco rack.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Technical line drawing of a server rack unit with multiple drive bays and vertical railings (no text or symbols)

Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be installed in racks from the bottom up.

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.

Notes

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the 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.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button and a power on/off button.

RESET

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

Power

This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. For this reason you should also unplug the AC power cord prior to servicing the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC823 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.

Power

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

HDD

Indicates SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

NIC2

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

Information LED

This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated.

When this LED flashes red, it indicates a fan failure.

When red continuously 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 (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

Each drive carrier has two LEDs:

- Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA 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 SATA drives.

- Red: When this LED flashes it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid on it indicates a drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.

電源コードとACアダプター

This chapter covers the steps required to connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished working with the serverboard to better cool and protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully (see previous chapter). 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 electric static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
• 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.

Unpacking

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

5-2 Connecting Cables

The cables listed below should already be connected to the serverboard. These 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 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 keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout for connector locations.)

• SATA (S-SATA0-3, I-SATA0-5) drive cables
• Control Panel cable (JF1)

Important! Make sure the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10DRi/X10DRi-T has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (J24) for connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin 12V processor power connectors (JPWR1 and JPWR2) that must be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for power connector pin definitions.

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.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-4 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

Notes

• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsinks.
• When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
  • Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

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 serverboard layout pages for jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed" means the jumper is on both pins and "Open" means the jumper is either on only one pin or completely removed.

Notes

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC823TQ-653LPB 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

Electricstatic 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.

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.

IO Panel (see Figure 5-3)

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. A ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard 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: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

6-3 System Fans

Four 8-cm fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 6028R-T/TT. It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-2.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. 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 the failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the four fans has failed.

Replacing System Cooling Fans

Replacing a Fan

The system power need not be shut down since the fans are all hot-pluggable.

1. Remove the chassis cover.
2. Press the tab on the top of the fan housing of the failed fan and remove the entire housing unit.

3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro). Position the new fan at its proper place in the chassis by fitting the fan with its housing onto the fan mounts in the chassis. A "click" can be heard if the fan (in its housing) is properly installed.

4. If the system is already powered on, the fan will activate immediately upon being connected to its header on the serverboard.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

You do not need to access the inside of the chassis to replace or swap SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. You must use standard SATA drives in the system.

For installing/removing the DVD-ROM, you will need to gain access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

For installing/removing a component in the 5.25" drive bay, proceed to the "5.25" Drive Bay Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Caution: 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/files/storage/SAS-1-CompList-110909.pdf

graph LR
    A["Step 1: Screen-like package"] --> B["Step 2: Screen-like package with internal components"]
    B --> C["Step 3: Screen-like package with internal components"]

Warning: Use caution when working around the SATA 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.

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

SATA Drive Installation

The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. Since these carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Mounting a SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier

To add a new hard drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Installing/Removing Hot-swap SATA Drives

1. Push the release button on the drive carrier.
2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see Figure 6-4).

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

Release Button

Figure 6-4. Removing SATA Drives

Caution: All of the SATA drive carriers must remain in the drive bay to maintain proper cooling airflow.

Installing a Component in the 5.25" Drive Bay

A single 5.25" drive bay is located in the front of the chassis, making it easily accessible for installation and removal. This component is not hot-swappable, meaning system power must be turned off before installing and/or removing them.

Installing/Removing a 5.25" Drive Bay Component

1. First power down the system and then remove the top cover of the chassis.
2. Push the locking latch to the right, then remove the drive carrier from the chassis.
3. Attach the component to the carrier if installing.
4. Push the tray with the drive back into its bay in the chassis.
5. Replace the top cover and restore power to the system when finished.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM. The 6028R-T/TT accommodates only slim DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a DVD-ROM drive in the 6028R-T/TT server.

Installing a DVD-ROM Drive

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays. You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVD-ROM drive.

1. Release the screws that secure the server unit to the rack.
2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
3. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and 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.

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 6028R-T/TT has a single 650 watt power supply. This power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V to 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. See contact information in Chapter 1.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

Replace the failed power supply module with the same model, which can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see Contact Information in the Preface).

1. First shut down the system, then unplug the AC power cord from the power supply module.
2. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two release buttons on the top of the chassis (near the front) then push the chassis top rearward about one inch and lift it off.
3. To remove the failed power supply, remove the screws that secure its sides to the bottom of the chassis and then pull it straight out.
4. Replace the failed module with another power supply unit.
5. Install the new power supply module.
6. Secure the power supply with the screws you removed previously and finish by plugging in the AC power cord.

BIOS Error Beep Codes

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

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

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