1-2 Motherboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 2048U-RTR4 lies the X10QRH+, a quad processor motherboard based on the Intel E5-4600 v3/v4 Series Grantley platform and the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the motherboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)

Processors

The X10QRH+ supports up to four Intel Intel E5-4600 v3/v4 Series processors in Socket R3 LGA2011 sockets. Please refer to our website for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X10QRH+ has 48 memory slots that can support up to 6 TB of 3DS LRDIMM (3DS Load Reduced DIMMs), 3TB of LRDIMM (Load-Reduced DIMMs) or 1.5 TB of RDIMM (Registered DIMMs) DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600 memory. Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA 3.0 subsystem. The I-SATA 4 and I-SATA 5 ports have built-in power pins to support SuperDOMs (Supermicro's SATA Disk on Module solution). RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported.

Rear I/O Ports

The rear I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 3.0 ports and one dedicated IPMI LAN port. A UID (Unit Identifier) button is located between the COM and VGA ports.

Onboard Graphics

The X10QRH+ features integrated VGA with the ASpeed 2400 BMC (Baseboard Management Controller).

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 2048U-RTR4 server is built upon the SC218UTS-R1K02P chassis. Details on the chassis and on service procedures can be found in Chapter 6. The following is a general outline of the main features of the chassis.

System Power

The chassis features a redundant 1 KW power supply consisting of two hot-plug Titanium Level (96% efficiency) power modules. The power redundancy allows the system to continue to operate if one module fails or is replaced.

Hard Drives

The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5" hot-swap hard drives. Twenty bays are SAS3 and four hybrid bays support NVMe or SAS3, depending on the connections to the backplane.

PCI Expansion Slots

The system supports eleven PCI-Express 3.0 expansion cards by means of four riser cards. These include seven cards with external ports and four internal cards. Two can be double-width GPUs. Refer to section 6-5 of this manual for more details.

Control Panel

The chassis front control panel provides system monitoring and power control. Status LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, UID, overheat and fan failure.

Cooling System

The chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 8-cm fans located in the middle section. Fan speed is determined by system temperature as monitored by IPMI. Each power supply module also includes a cooling fan.

The motherboard is fitted with an air shroud to maximize cooling.

Notes

Chapter 2

Server Installation

This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack.

2-1 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

2-2 Preparing for Setup

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet. is required

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely.
• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and access for servicing.
• It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or a service closet.

2-3 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 SAS 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.).

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

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly. Refer to the installation instructions that came with your rack. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.8" and 36.4" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of three sections: An inner rail that secures directly to the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side of the chassis.

Figure 6-1. Identifying the Outer Rail, Middle Rail (Left Rail Assembly Shown)

Rail

Releasing the Inner Rail

Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer rails.

Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails

1. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated below.
2. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
3. Pull the inner rail all the way out.
4. Repeat for the other outer rail.

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 X10QRH+ motherboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard 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 motherboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.

5-1 Handling the Motherboard

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 motherboard can cause it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the motherboard 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 motherboard, expansion cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

5-2 Connecting 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.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10QRH+ has two primary power supply connectors designated J3 and J12. Three 8-pin power connectors (JPWR1-3) are used to provide power to backplane devices and another four 8-pin power connectors (JPWR4-7) are used for GPU devices. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-2 for the pin locations of the 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 cable to simplify their connection. One end of the cable plugs into 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.

5-9 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, 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 motherboard 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.

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.

VGA Enable/Disable

6-6 Cooling Systems

The chassis contains four 8-cm high-performance fans and an air shroud to direct air flow.

Replacing a System Fan

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail 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 fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord(s) is also recommended as a safety precaution.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10QRH+. It also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS setup utility screens. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.

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. 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 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 informational text. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it.

Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these informational 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 setup navigation. These keys include , , , , arrow keys, etc.

Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

Note 2: is used to load optimal default settings. is used to save the settings and exit the setup utility.

How To Change the Configuration Data

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up 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 (on the following page) correspond to the number of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep Code 8, are fatal errors.

BIOS Error Beep Codes
Beep Code/LED Error Message Description
1 beep Refresh		Circuits have been reset. (Ready to power up)
5 short beeps + 1 long beep	Memory error No memory detected in the system
