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 A or 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.).

Supermicro SuperServer SYS-210SE-31D - Reliable Ground - 1

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.

Supermicro SuperServer SYS-210SE-31D - Reliable Ground - 2

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.

Supermicro SuperServer SYS-210SE-31D - Reliable Ground - 3

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

2.3 Identifying the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two sets of outer and inner rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit, one for the right side and one for the left. Each set comes with an inner rail that attaches to the chassis and an outer rail that attaches to the rack.

text_image Right R FRONT Inner rail Left Outer rail

Figure 2-1. Outer and Inner Rails

2.4 Installing the Rails

Rack units on the market may require a slightly different assembly procedure.

Included set of rails:

MCP-290-20101-0N (2U fixed rail set, quick release, default for 2, 3U, 17.6"W, 18.5-22)

Optional:

MCP-290-00144-1N (2U fixed rail set, quick release, default for 2, 3U, 17.6"W, 26.5-33.5)

The following is a general guideline for installing the system in a rack using the rack mounting hardware supplied. Read the installation instructions that came with the rack you're using.

Supermicro SuperServer SYS-210SE-31D - Installing the Rails - 1

text_image Left Right 04 00

Figure 2-2. Installing the Rails

Installing the Rails

  1. Using the provided screws, attach the inner rail of the right rail set (marked with an "R") to the rack's rear right side.

7.3 Troubleshooting Procedures

Use the following procedures to troubleshoot your system. If you have followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the Technical Support Procedures or Returning Merchandise for Service section(s) in this chapter. Power down the system before changing any non hot-swap hardware components.

General Technique

If you experience unstable operation or get no boot response, try:

  1. With power off, remove all but one DIMM and other added components, such as add-on cards, from the motherboard. Make sure the motherboard is not shorted to the chassis.
  2. Set all jumpers to their default positions.
  3. Power up. If the system boots, check for memory errors and add-on card problems.

No Power

- Check that the power LED on the motherboard is on.

Supermicro SuperServer SYS-210SE-31D - No Power - 1

Figure 7-3. Location of the MB Power LED

• Make sure that the power connector is connected to the power supply.
- Check that the motherboard battery still supplies approximately 3VDC. If it does not, replace it.
- Check that the system input voltage is 100-120VAC or 180-240VAC.
- Turn the power switch on and off to test the system

No Video

If the power is on but you have no video, remove all add-on cards and cables.

System Boot Failure

If the system does not display Power-On-Self-Test (POST) or does not respond after the power is turned on, try the following:

- Turn on the system with only one DIMM module installed. If the system boots, check for bad DIMM modules or slots by following the Memory Errors Troubleshooting procedure below.

Memory Errors

  • Make sure that the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed.
  • Confirm that you are using the correct memory. Also, it is recommended that you use the same memory type and speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 3.5 for memory details.
  • Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the results.

Losing the System Setup Configuration

  • Always replace power supplies with the exact same model that came with the system. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup configuration.
  • Check that the motherboard battery still supplies approximately 3VDC. If it does not, replace it.

If the above steps do not fix the setup configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs.

When the System Becomes Unstable

If the system becomes unstable during or after OS installation, check the following:

  • CPU/BIOS support: Make sure that your CPU is supported and that you have the latest BIOS installed in your system.
  • Memory: Make sure that the memory modules are supported. Refer to the product page on our website at www.supermicro.com. Test the modules using memtest86 or a similar utility.
  • Storage drives: Make sure that all drives work properly. Replace if necessary.

  • System cooling: Check that all heatsink fans and system fans work properly. Check the hardware monitoring settings in the BMC to make sure that the CPU and system temperatures are within the normal range. Also check the Control panel Overheat LED.

  • Adequate power supply: Make sure that the power supply provides adequate power to the system. Make sure that all power connectors are connected. Refer to the Supermicro website for the minimum power requirements.
  • Proper software support: Make sure that the correct drivers are used.

If the system becomes unstable before or during OS installation, check the following:

  • Source of installation: Make sure that the devices used for installation are working properly, including boot devices.
  • Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly.
  • Use the minimum configuration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components (starting with add-on cards first), and use the minimum configuration (but with a CPU and a memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas.
  • Identify a bad component by isolating it. Check and change one component at a time.

  • Remove a component in question from the chassis, and test it in isolation. Replace it if necessary.

  • Or swap in a new component for the suspect one.
  • Or install the possibly defective component into a known good system. If the new system works, the component is likely not the cause or the problem.

7.5 UEFI BIOS Recovery

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

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 that will allow the UEFI OS loader stored in an add-on card to boot the system. The UEFI offers clean, hands-off management to a computer during system boot.

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 recovery block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a healthy BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is turned on, the recovery block codes execute first. Once this process is complete, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and the remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines.

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

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

Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device

This feature allows the user to recover the main 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 file system supported by the recovery block is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) which is installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size becomes too large due to the huge volumes of folders and files stored in the device.

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 file into the Root "\" directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.
    Note 1: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your drive disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary image into a USB flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use.
    Note 2: Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the "Super.ROM" binary image file you download is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard.
  2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and reset the system when the following screen appears.
  3. After locating the healthy BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu as shown below.
