1.6 Where to Get Replacement Components

If you need replacement parts for your system, to ensure the highest level of professional service and technical support, purchase exclusively from our Supermicro Authorized Distributors/System Integrators/Resellers. A list can be found at: http://www.supermicro.com. Click the "Where to Buy" link.

1.7 Returning Merchandise for Service

A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service is complete.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.supermicro.com/support/rma/).

Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.

This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper maintenance of products.

During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack. If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 3 for details on installing those specific components.

Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.

2.2 Preparing for Setup

The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to install it into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.

Choosing a Setup Location

• The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely (\~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing.
• This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that the full weight of the rack rests on them.

• In single rack installations, 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 server or other component from the rack.

• You should extend only one server or 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 Appendix B.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your way up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the servers closed 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 room's ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

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.).

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.

2.3 Installing the Rails

This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the sliding rails. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure may differ slightly. Refer also to instructions that came with the rack.

Each rail set consists of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that secures to the rack. Note that the rails are left/right side specific.

Inner Rail Locking Tab Outer Rail

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

Inner Rails

The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, but should the need arise to remove them, reinstallation of the rails is simple and can be accomplished with a screwdriver.

Installing the Inner Rails

Place the inner rail on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chassis with the inner rail holes, and slide the extension toward the front of the chassis. Secure the chassis with one screw

Figure 2-2. Installing the Inner Rails (Right side shown)

Outer Rails

Outer rails attach to the rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for the chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. Align the pins of the rail with the slides. The ends of each bracket must angle in the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail fits snugly into the rack.
3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the rack with two M5 screws and the short bracket to the rear side of the rack with three M5 screws. Make sure that both sides are at the same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

Secure to the Front of the Rack Attach Outer Rails Together Secure to the Rear of the Rack

Figure 2-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

Warning: 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.

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

2.4 Installing the Server into the Rack

After the rails are attached to both the chassis and the rack:

1. Line up the rear of the inner rails with the front of the rack rails.
2. 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).
3. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".
4. Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

Locking Tabs: The inner rails have a locking tab It locks 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. If you need to remove the server completely, depress the locking tabs on each side as you pull it out.

Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.

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

2.5 Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

The inner rails should remain attached when installing into a telco rack.

1. Use the two L-shaped brackets (four total) to suspend the sides of the chassis within the rack.
2. Determine how far the chassis will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it.
3. Attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack.
4. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

Maintenance and Component Installation

This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given.

Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.

3.1 Removing Power

Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing a non-redundant power supply.

1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s).

3.2 Accessing the System

The chassis features a removable top cover.

Removing the Top Cover

1. Remove the screws securing the cover to the chassis.
2. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
3. Lift the cover from the chassis.

Check that all ventilation openings on the top cover and the top of the chassis are clear and unobstructed.

Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow for proper airflow and to prevent overheating.

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

Notes:

• Use ESD protection.
• Unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands (gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
  • Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustration only. Your components may look different.

Note: You can only install the CPU in one direction. Make sure it is properly inserted into the socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load plate again and double-check that the CPU is properly aligned.

Installing the CPU Heatsink

Notes:

• If you bought a CPU separately, use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.

• Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount has already been applied.

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

• Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until they are just snug. Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.

• Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws (be careful not to overtighten).

3.4 Chassis Components

This section provides instructions on installing and replacing system components. To assure compatibility, only use components that match the specifications or part numbers given.

Storage Drives

The system supports two hot-swap 2.5" drives and two internal 2.5" storage drives. If RAID is configured, the hot-swap drives can be removed or replaced without powering down the system.

Note: Enterprise level drives are recommended for use in Supermicro servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website product pages at https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo.

Drive Carriers

The drives are mounted in drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow. Even carriers without drives must remain in the chassis for proper airflow.

Each drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. In RAID configurations, the status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID configurations, the status indicator remains off. See the table below for details.

Drive Carrier LED Indicators

System Fans

The system comes with four heavy-duty fans but supports up to six. It has additional sockets for two more optional fans to provide additional cooling, if needed.

The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by IPMI. Each fan in a set has its own separate tachometer.

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

Note: The chassis top cover must be installed for proper airflow.

Replacing System Fans

1. Determine which fan has failed using IPMI, or if necessary, open the chassis while the system is running. Never run the server for long without the chassis cover.

2. Power remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1.

3. Detach the fan cable from the motherboard.

4. Lift the fan housing and the two fans inside it up and out of the chassis. Gently pull upward to remove a failed fan from the housing.

5. Push the new fan into the housing making sure the arrows on the top of the fan, indicating air direction, point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans.

6. Reconnect the fan cables to the same chassis fan headers.

7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the LED on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Codes

A.1 BIOS Error Beep (POST) 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 are those which 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 table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error	Message Description
1 short Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system
5 long, 2 short Display memory read/write error Video adapter missing or with faulty memory
1 long continuous System OH System overheat condition

A.2 Additional BIOS POST Codes

The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's Guide").

When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).

For information on AMI updates, please refer to http://www.ami.com/products/.
