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 components.

Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), 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 includes the screws needed to install the server into a rack. 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 at least 25 inches of clearance in front of the rack so that you can open the front door completely. Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance behind 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

- Verify 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 multi-rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always verify that 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 might 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. Subsequent components should be installed in decreasing order of weight with the lightest component at the top.
• 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 and panels 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 might 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.

Mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

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

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.

2.3 Mounting on a Wall

The chassis can be mounted on a wall using a bracket (optional, MCP-290-30201-0B).

1. Secure the bracket to the wall where you want the server to be mounted by using four screws through the holes around the center of the bracket, as shown below.

UEFI BIOS

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the A2SDi-4C-HLN4F 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 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 Menu

BIOS POST Codes

A.1 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/.

電源コードとACアダプター

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 need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

C.1 Overview

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the pre-boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored in the add-on card, to boot the system. The UEFI offers a clean, hands-off control to a computer system at bootup.

C.2 Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image

A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot block codes execute first. Once it is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS boot crashes.

Note 2: When the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request (see section 3.5 for more information). Also, you may use the Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (OOB) (https://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/nfo/SMS_SUM.cfm) to reflash the BIOS.

C.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

The ☐le system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM ☐le if the media size becomes too large because it contains too many folders and ☐les.

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.

1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image □le into the disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.

Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" Ile in your driver disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB ash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.

1. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and power on the system.

2. While powering on the system, please keep pressing and simultaneously on your keyboard until the following screen (or a screen similar to the one below) displays.

Warning: Please stop pressing the and keys immediately when you see the screen (or a similar screen) below; otherwise, it will trigger a system reboot.

BMC IP:10.132.161.90 System Initializing.. BMC IP:10.132.161.90

Note: On the other hand, if the following screen displays, please load the "Super.ROM" file to the root folder and connect this folder to the system. (You can do so by inserting a USB device that contains the new "Super.ROM" image to your machine for BIOS recovery.)
