Notes

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 1028R-MCT/MCTR 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 SuperServer 1028R-MCT/MCTR system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the relevant chapter or section for details on installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 1028R-MCT/MCTR 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 1028R-MCT/MCTR. 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 1028R-MCT/MCTR 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 the hot plug SATA 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 1028R-MCTR - 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 SuperServer 1028R-MCT/MCTR into a rack. Note: The rails will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

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 1028R-MCT/MCTR 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

Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
Supermicro SuperServer 1028R-MCTR - Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails - 1

text_image Inner Rail Extensions Inner Rails

Supermicro SuperServer 1028R-MCTR - Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails - 2

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.

Supermicro SuperServer 1028R-MCTR - Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails - 3

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

Inner Rails

The SC113MFAC2 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails (Figure 2-2)

  1. Place the inner rack 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 steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

text_image Technical diagram showing server rack assembly with labeled components and directional arrows indicating movement or assembly steps.

Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack (Figures 2-3 and 2-4)

  1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. You must align the pins with the slides. Also, both bracket ends must face 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 outer rail with two M5 screws and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M5 screws.
  4. Repeat steps 1-4 for the left outer rail.

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

Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-5)

  1. Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions. Also, confirm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
  2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
  3. 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). When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".
  4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

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

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the SuperServer 1028R-MCT/MCTR into a Telco type rack, use 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.

경고!

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X10DRL-CT serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard 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 serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

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

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.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

Notes:

• Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.
- 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.
- If you buy a CPU separately, use only an Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsink.
- Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.
• Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.
• Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

Installing a CPU

  1. There are two levers on the LGA 2011 socket. First press and release the load lever labeled "Open 1st".

Installing a CPU Heatsink

  1. Remove power from the system and unplug the AC power cord(s) from the power supply.
  2. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die; the required amount has already been applied.
  3. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the (preinstalled) heatsink retention mechanism.
  4. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug. Do not fully tighten the screws or you may damage the CPU.)
  5. Add the two remaining screws then finish the installation by tightening all four screws.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) 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 (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10DRL-CT has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "J24" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.

In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power connectors at JPWR1 and JPWR2.

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.

Notes

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC113MFAC2-605B/SC113MFAC2-R605B 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 next step.

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 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 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 appropriate header on 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 control panel 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: Advanced Serverboard Installation."

6-3 System Cooling

Four 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the system. The SC113MFAC2 chassis provides two additional open fan housings, where additional system fans may be added for optimal cooling.

It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-2.

Adding a System Fan

  1. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the power cord(s).
  2. Remove the chassis cover then remove the dummy fan from the fan tray.
  3. 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.
  4. Connect the fan wires to the fan header on the serverboard.

  5. Reconnect the power cord(s), power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled via IPMI. 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).

The SC113MFAC2 chassis includes four pre-installed fans. Two additional open slots are available so that up to two more fans may be added.

Replacing a System Fan (Figure 6-2)

  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 serverboard.
  4. Lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out.
  5. 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.
  6. Reconnect the fan wires to the same chassis fan header as the previous fan.
  7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace hard drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.

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

Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the 1028R-MCT/MCTR.

Hard Drive Installation

The SAS/SATA hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier (Figure 6-3)

  1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end toward the rear of the carrier.

  2. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up. Note that there are holes in the carrier marked "SATA" to aid in correct installation.

  3. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws as illustrated below.
  4. Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will retract.
  5. Push the handle in until it clicks into its locked position

Warning: Except for short periods of time (swapping hard drives), do not operate the server with the hard drives empty.

text_image Diagram of a server rack with labeled components, showing front and rear views and component numbers 1 and 2.

DVD Drive Installation

The SC113MFAC2 chassis may have a DVD-ROM installed (optional).

Installing or Replacing a DVD-ROM Drive (Figure 6-5)

  1. Power down the system and if necessary, remove the server from the rack and the front bezel from the chassis.
  2. Remove the chassis cover.
  3. Unplug the drives power and data cables from the serverboard and/or backplane.
  4. If you are adding a new drive: Remove the mini-bezel (grate) from the drive bay The bezel can be removed by pulling out the hard drive beneath the DVD-ROM, then pulling the mini-bezel forward. If you are replacing a drive: Locate the locking tab at the rear (left hand side when viewed from the front) of the DVD-ROM drive. Push the tab toward the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis.
  5. Insert the new drive unit in the slot until the tab locks in place.
  6. Reconnect the data and power cables.
  7. Replace the chassis cover (replace the server in the rack, if necessary) and power up the system.

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 1028R-MCT has a single 600 watt power supply while the 1028R-MCTR features redundant, 600W hot-plug high-efficiency power supplies. Both are auto-switching capable, enabling the power modules to automatically sense and operate with a 100V to 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

1028R-MCT

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply unit in the chassis, power must be completely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply (Figure 6-6)

  1. First power down the system and unplug the AC power cord from the power supply.
  2. Extend the chassis from the rack if necessary, then remove the top chassis cover.
  3. To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws that secure the power module to its housing inside the chassis. You can then pull the unit straight out of the chassis.
  4. Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. You must replace it with the exact same power supply (same model number).
  5. Carefully insert the new unit into position into the chassis and secure it with the two screws you removed previously.
  6. Reconnect the AC power cord, replace the top chassis cover and push the unit back into the rack.
  7. Finish by powering up the server with the power button on the front control panel.

1028R-MCTR

An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating. If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. A power fail condition will be displayed on the front control panel until the failed unit has been replaced.

Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model (see part number in the Appendix), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.

Removing the Power Supply

  1. First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
  2. Depress the release tab on the power supply module.
  3. Use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle.

Installing a New Power Supply

  1. Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit.
  2. Push the new power supply unit into the power bay until you hear a click.
  3. Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the new module.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10DRL-CT/iT/C. The ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS setup utility screens.

Note: For AMI BIOS recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the key while the system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The AMI BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. 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: the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.

The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys." Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include , , , , arrow keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Configuration Data

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This setup utility can be accessed by pressing at the appropriate time during system boot.

How to Start the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen, below the copyright message.

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

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.
