Note: This is a general block diagram and may not exactly represent the features on your motherboard. See the System Specifications appendix for the actual specifications of your motherboard.

1.5 Server Installation and Setup

The server is shipped with the processor and the motherboard installed in the chassis. Several steps are necessary to begin using your server. You must add memory, install the hard drives, and mount the system in place.

Unpacking the System

Inspect the box in which the system was shipped and note if it was damaged. If the server itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier.

Warnings and Precautions

• 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.
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B.

Adding Components to your System

• Memory: If your system is not already fully integrated with system memory, refer to Chapter 3 for details on compatible types of memory and the installation procedure.
• Drives and Storage: To add storage capabilities to your server, see Chapter 3.
• Input/Output: See Chapter 4 for I/O ports and connect them as needed.
• Software: See Chapter 5 for description and procedures for installing software, including drivers and monitoring programs.

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 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.).

All power cords must be plugged into sockets that have an earth ground.

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 Chassis into the Rack

This section provides information on installing the CSE-505-203B chassis into a rack unit. Due to the variety of rack units on the market, the assembly procedure might differ slightly. Also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

1. Gather the four mounting screws shipped with the system.

2. Align the mounting holes of the chassis with the thru-holes of the rack.

3. Insert the mounting screws into the thru-holes in the front of the chassis and tighten the screws until the chassis is secured to the rack.

Figure 2-1. Installing the Server into a Rack

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

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

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, which may cause serious personal injury or death.

Installing to a Telco Rack

The 5019A-FN5T supports Telco Rack installation. The compact design allows it to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails.

Isometric line drawing of a vertical shelf or rack unit with a central horizontal bar (no text or symbols)

Figure 2-2. Installing the Server into a Rack

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

Installing the System into a Telco (Two-Post Style) Rack

To install the system into a Telco style two-post rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total).

1. Determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back.
2. If a bezel is included on your chassis, remove it.
3. Attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis.
4. Attach the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the Telco rack.
5. Slide the chassis into the rack and tighten the brackets to the rack.

Chapter 3

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.

1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut down, disconnect the AC power cords from the power strip or outlet.
3. Disconnect the AC power cords from the power supply module.

3.2 Accessing the System

Removing the Chassis Cover

1. Power down the system as described in Section 3.1.

2. Lift the cover up and off the chassis.

3.3 Motherboard Components

Memory

Memory Support

The A2SDV-16C-TLN5F supports up to 256GB Registered ECC RDIMM and DDR4-2400MHz or up to 64GB Unbuffered ECC/non-ECC UDIMM, DDR4-2400MHz in four DIMM slots. Populating these DIMM slots with memory modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

Refer to the table on the next page for the recommended DIMM population order.

ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components including memory modules. To avoid damaging your DIMM modules, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Handle the memory module by its edges only.
• Put the memory modules into the antistatic bags when not in use.
• Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

DIMM Module Population Configuration

For optimal memory performance, follow the table below when populating memory.

BIOS

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the A2SDV-TLN5F series motherboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a flash program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual Download area of our website for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the key while the system is booting-up. (In most cases, the key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. "Grayed-out" options cannot be configured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A "▶" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the key will open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys (, , , keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.

6.2 Main Setup

When you first enter the AMI BIOS setup utility, you will enter the Main setup screen. You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen. The Main BIOS setup screen is shown below and the following items will be displayed:

BIOS 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 table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error	Message Description
1 beep 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

Note: A speaker is required to hear the beep codes (optional part).

Dual Boot Block

E.1 Introduction

The motherboard in this system supports the Dual Boot Block feature, which is the last-ditch mechanism to recover the BIOS boot block. This section provides an introduction to the feature.

BIOS Boot Block

A BIOS boot block is the minimum BIOS loader required to enable necessary hardware components for the BIOS crisis recovery flash that will update the main BIOS block. An on-call BIOS boot-block corruption may occur due to a software tool issue (see image below) or an unexpected power outage during BIOS updates.

AMI Firmware Update Utility vX.XX.XX Copyright (C)XXXX American Megatrends Inc. All Rights Reserved. Reading flash . . . . . . . . . . . . . done -- ME Data Size checking . ok -- FFS checksums . . . . . . . ok Erasing Boot Block . . . . . . . . . done __Updating Boot Block . . . . . . . 0x00A91000 (13%)

BIOS Boot Block Corruption Occurrence

When a BIOS boot block is corrupted due to an unexpected power outage or a software tool malfunctioning during BIOS updates, you can still reboot the system by closing pins 2 and 3 using a cap on jumper JBR1. When JBR1 is set to pins 2 and 3, the system will boot from a backup boot block pre-loaded in the BIOS by the manufacturer.

E.2 Steps to Reboot the System by Using Jumper JBR1

1. Power down the system.
2. Close pins 2-3 on jumper JBR1 and power on the system.
3. Follow the BIOS recovery SOP listed in the previous chapter (Appendix D).
4. After completing the steps above, power down the system.
5. Close pins 1-2 on jumper JBR1 and power on the system.
