1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6018R-TDW lies the X10DDW-i, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the X10DDW-i. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X10DDW-i supports two Intel® Xeon E5-2600 (v3/v4) series processors in an R3-LGA2011 socket. Please refer to our website for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X10DDW-i has 16 DIMM sockets that can support up to 2 TB of LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMMs) or 512 GB of RDIMM (registered DIMMs) DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600 memory. Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

SATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port, SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, and 10 supported. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units. The serverboard also supports the use of a SATA DOM device.

Rear I/O Ports

The rear I/O ports include one VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, two Gb LAN ports and a dedicated IPMI LAN port.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 6018R-TDW is built upon the SC815TQ-600WB chassis. Details on the chassis and on servicing procedures can be found in Chapter 6. The following is a general outline of the main features of the chassis.

System Power

The SC815TQ-600WB features a single 600W power supply. The system must be shut down when replacing or removing the power supply module.

Hard Drive Subsystem

The SC815TQ-600WB chassis was designed to support four hot-swap SATA hard drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

Two riser cards (RSC-R1UW-2E16-O-P and RSC-R1UW-E8R-O-P) on the left side of the chassis can support two PCI-E x16 and one PCI-E x8 expansion cards, respectively. See section 5-6 for further details.)

Front Control Panel

The chassis' control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity (two) and an information LED. A main power button and system reset button is also included.

Cooling System

The SC815TQ-600WB chassis has an innovative cooling design that features five sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the chassis. There is a "Fan Speed Control Mode" setting in IPMI that allows chassis fan speed to be determined by system temperature. The power supply module also includes a cooling fan.

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6018R-TDW 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 system has come to you with the processors, memory and hard drives pre installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with such components, please turn to the relevant chapter or section for each.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6018R-TDW 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 6018R-TDW. 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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6018R-TDW 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.

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.

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

• 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.).

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 6018R-TDW into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. 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 (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of the outer rails are also included.

Installing the Inner Rails

Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the next step.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails (right side rail shown)

Outer Rail (attaches to rack) Inner Rail (pre-installed) Locking Tab

Installing the Outer Rails

Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail can fit snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock 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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails

Technical line drawing of a server rack with multiple drive bays and mounting brackets (no text or symbols)

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.

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 the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. 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). See Figure 2-3.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".

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

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

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the 6018R-TDW 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.

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also three buttons on the control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a UID button, a reset button and a power on/off button.

UID

Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.

RESET

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

Power

The main power button is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC815TQ-600WB chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

Information LED

This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this LED flashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

Note: deactivating the UID LED must be performed in the same way it was activated. (If the UID LED was activated via IPMI, you can only turn the LED off via IPMI and not with the UID button.)

NIC2

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6018R-TDW, this light indicates HDD and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

Power

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

3-4 Hard Drive Carrier LEDs

Each hard drive carrier has two LEDs.

• Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the drive carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
• Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a drive fails, you should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.

電源コードとACアダプター

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X10DDW-i 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 connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsinks.
• 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.
  • 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. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the retention mechanism.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not over-tighten the screws, which may damage the CPU.)
3. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.

Screw #1 Screw #3 Screw #2 Screw #4

Removing the Heatsink

Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or other components.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the sequence shown in the picture below.
3. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when doing this!)

4. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU.

5. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before you re-install the heatsink.

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 pre configured 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 and be aware of 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 X10DDW-i 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 J24 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. 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. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the other end of the cable 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.

5-5 Installing Memory

Installing Memory

1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 5-2).
2. Install starting with slot P1-DIMMA1. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
3. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
4. Repeat to populate the desired number of slots.
5. See the tables that follow for details on populating the DIMM slots.

Note: It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the system before installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our website for memory that has been tested on the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF serverboard. For best performance, use memory modules of the same type and speed in the same bank.

Memory Support

The serverboard has 16 DIMM sockets that can support up to 2 TB of DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600 LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMMs), or 512 GB of RDIMM (registered DIMMs) DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600 memory.

5-10 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the serverboard, jumpers can be used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function of the connector. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the diagram at right for an example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to the serverboard layout page for jumper locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means the jumper is on and "Open" means the jumper is off the pins.

Connector Pins Jumper Setting 3 2 1 ● ● ■ 3 2 1

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To clear CMOS

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver.
3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC815TQ-600WB 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.

DVD-ROM Drive (Optional) Control Panel Hot-Swap Drive Bays (4)

Power Supply PCI Expansion Slot (w/ Riser Card) I/O Ports

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. These wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable 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 Setup."

6-3 System Fans

Five 4-cm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 6018R-TDW. Each fan unit is 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.

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.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a IPMI setting. If a fan fails, the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the Information LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the two fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cords is also recommended as a safety precaution.

Replacing System Fans

1. After determining which fan has failed, turn off the power to the system.
2. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the chassis.
3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm fan (available from Supermicro).
4. Push 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.
5. Reposition the fan housing back over the two mounting posts in the system, then reconnect the fan wires to the same fan headers you removed them from.
6. 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.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Removing the Front Bezel

If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must first remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, first unlock the front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully remove the bezel with both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be removed for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system.

Figure 6-3. Removing the Front Bezel

1. Unlock 2. Press release knob 3. Remove bezel assembly

Accessing the Drive Bays

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

DVD-ROM Drives: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6018R-TDW by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only "slim" DVD-ROM drives will fit into the 6018R-TDW.

Hard Drive Installation

The 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.

Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier

1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

2. Secure the drive to the carrier with screws, as shown in Figure 6-4 (four screws for SATA drives).

Technical line drawing of a computer chassis casing with ports and connectors (no text or symbols)

Figure 6-4. Mounting a Hard Drive in a Carrier

Note: Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.

Installing/Removing a Hard Drive

1. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.
2. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).

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

Technical line drawing of a server rack unit with multiple ports and connectors (no text or symbols)

Figure 6-5. Removing a Hard Drive from the Server

Warning: Only enterprise level HDDs are recommended for use in this chassis.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The 6018R-TDW accommodates only slim DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the 6018R-TDW server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVD-ROM drive.

Removing the Chassis Cover

1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

Removing/Installing a Drive

1. With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive you want to remove.
2. Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.
3. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis.
4. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.
5. Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system.

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 6018R-TDW has a single 600 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100v - 240v input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

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

Replacing the Power Supply

1. First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord from the system. Replace with the same model, which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.
2. Detach the wiring from the power supply.
3. Remove the screws that secure the power supply to the chassis then pull the module straight out.
4. Carefully insert the new power supply into the open bay and push it completely into the system.
5. Reconnect the power supply wiring.
6. Secure it to the chassis with the screw you removed previously, then reconnect the AC power cord and press the power button on the control panel to restart the system.

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.
