1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the 1028R-WTNR(T) SuperServer is the X10DRW-N(T), a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel C612 Express chipset. Below are the main features of the system (See Figure 1-1 for a chipset block diagram).

Processors

The serverboard supports dual Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 processors (LGA 2011 Socket v3). Each processor supports dual full-width Intel QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) links of up to 9.6 GT/s one direction per QPI. Refer to the serverboard description pages on the Supermicro web site for a complete listing of supported processors.

Memory

The integrated memory controller supports up to 2 TB of Load Reduced (LRDIMM), and up to 512 GB of Registered (RDIMM) DDR4 (288-pin) ECC 2400/2133/1866/1600 MHz memory in sixteen slots, two DIMMs per channel. Modules of the same size and speed are recommended. See Chapter 5 for details.

Serial ATA

The server supports ten hot-swap hard drives, with eight SATA 3.0 connectors plus two NVMe/SATA 3.0 hybrid ports, connected to an onboard storage controller (I-SATA 0-3, S-SATA0-3, I-SATA4/5 for SATADOM).

PCI Expansion Slots

The serverboard has one PCI-Express 3.0 x32 slot. The system supports two expansion cards by means of a riser card.

Input/Output Ports

The rear I/O ports include two Ethernet LAN ports, one dedicated IPMI LAN port, four USB 2.0 ports, and a VGA (monitor) port. The LAN ports are:

• For 1028R-WNTR model, two 1 Gb ports
• For 1028R-WNTRT model, two 10 Gb ports

Internal headers include two USB 3.0 ports and one COM port.

The rear I/O panel also includes a UID switch and LED.

IPMI

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server's hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 1028R-WTNR(T) is built upon the SC116AC2-R706WB chassis, Supermicro's third-generation 1U chassis. The following are the main features.

System Power

The SC116AC2-R706WB chassis features a hot plug redundant 750W power supply consisting of two power modules. Either module can be removed and replaced without powering down the system.

Hard Drives Bays

The server supports ten hot-swap 2.5" hard disk drives, with eight SATA3 bays plus two NVMe/SATA3 hybrid bays. See Chapter 6 Section 5 for details.

Front Control Panel

The control panel provides a system monitoring and control interface. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, and a system overheat/fan-fail/UID LED. A main power button and a UID button are also included.

Cooling System

The chassis has an innovative cooling design that features five or six sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans located at the middle of the chassis. The sixth fan is optional. Fan speeds are controlled by the system temperature as monitored by IPMI.

Chapter 2

Installation in a Rack

This chapter provides instructions for mounting your chassis in a rack.

2-1 Preparing for Setup

The box in which your system was shipped should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your system. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet. is required

• Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely.
• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and access for servicing.
• It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or a service closet.

2-2 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 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.).

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

2-3 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 that the assembly procedure differs slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

These rails fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

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 includes the outer rail pieces that attach to the rack and the optional inner rail extension. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis.

Inner Rail Extensions Inner Rails (Pre-installed on the chassis)

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

Technical diagram showing server rack and internal components with numbered labels indicating assembly or connection steps.

Figure 2-2. Adding the Inner Rail Extension (right side rail shown)

Inner Rail Extension (optional)

The inner rail extension can be added to allow the server to pull farther out of the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with two screws as illustrated.
4. Repeat for the other inner rail extension.

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.

Slide outer rails together Secure to the rear of the rack Round Hole Secure to the front of the rack Assembling the sections of the outer rail Outer rail assembled Bracket with Square Pegs

Figure 2-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

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.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom of the rack first.

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 Rails

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.

Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Rack

Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom of the rack first.

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

Installing the Server into a Two Post Rack

Optional brackets (p/n MCP-290-00016-0N) are needed to install the server to a two post (telco type) rack.

Use the two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server 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. Then 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. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

Blinking red (0.25Hz) Power failure, check for a non-operational power supply.
Solid blue	Local UID has been activated. Use this function to locate the server in a rack mount environment.
Blinking blue	Remote UID is on. Use this function to identify the server from a remote location.

NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing.

NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing.

HDD: Indicates activity on the hard drive when flashing.

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

Overheating

There are several possible responses if the system overheats.

Overheat Temperature Setting

Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 degrees by changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual on the Supermicro website.

Responses

If the server overheats

1. Use the LEDs to determine the nature of the overheating condition.
2. Confirm that the chassis covers are installed properly.
3. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally.
4. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA drives. Each drive carrier displays two status LEDs on the front of the carrier.

- Green: When illuminated, this LED indicates drive activity. It blinks on and off when that particular drive is being accessed This function is controlled by the backplane.

- Red: When illuminated, this LED indicates a drive failure. You should be notified by your system management software.

3-5 Power Supply LEDs

On the rear of the power supply module, an LED displays the status.

• Solid Green: When illuminated, indicates that the power supply is on.

- Solid Amber: When illuminated, indicates the power supply is plugged in and turned off, or the system is off but in an abnormal state.

- Blinking Amber: When blinking, this system power supply temperature has reached 63^ C. The system will automatically power-down when the power supply temperature reaches 70^ C and restarts when the power supply temperature goes below 60^ C.

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. Note: 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 ESD.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing boards from antistatic bags.
• 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

Once the serverboard is installed, the cables must be connected. These include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel, and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The ribbon cables used to transfer data 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 when reconnecting them. The following data cables should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-11 for connector locations.) Important! Make sure the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The serverboard has three power supply connectors, JPW1, JPW2 and JPW3. See Section 5-8 for power connector definitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

The JF1 connector contains header pins for the front control panel. See Figure 5-5 for the pin definitions of the control panel buttons and LED indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon 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.

Figure 6-1. SC116AC2-R706WB Chassis Front and Rear Views

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.

6-2 Removing Power from the System

Before performing 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 on-screen 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. Remove the cords from both power supply modules.
3. Disconnect the cords from the power strip or wall outlet.

6-3 Removing the Chassis Cover

You may need to remove the top cover to access the inside of the system for some of the procedures described in this chapter.

Removing the Chassis Cover:

1. Simultaneously press down on the two release buttons on the chassis cover.
2. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
3. Lift the cover off the chassis.

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

6-6 System Fans

The system chassis contains five, or optionally six, 4-cm counter-rotating fans. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibration levels.

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature as monitored by the IPMI software. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. 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 a System Fan

1. Open the chassis while the system is running to determine which fan has failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis open.

2. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the power cord from the power supply.

3. Remove the failed fan's wiring from the fan header on the motherboard.

4. Lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out.

Technical diagram of a server rack with labeled components and an inset magnified view showing internal mechanical assembly.

Figure 6-6. Replacing a System Fan

1. Place the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while 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.
2. Reconnect the fan wires to the same chassis fan header as the previous fan.
3. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.

Checking the Server Airflow

• Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server.
- Make sure no cables or foreign objects obstruct airflow through the chassis. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.

The control panel LEDs display alerts about the system heat status. See “Chapter 3: System Interface” for details.
