Notes

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your system up and running. This quick setup assumes that your 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 chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific components.

2-2 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.

2-3 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 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.
• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.

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.).

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.

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure differs slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

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.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two sets of rack rails, one set for the right side of the chassis and one for the left. Each set consists of an inner rail that is fixed directly to the chassis and an outer rail that attaches to the rack.

The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install it into a rack.

Inner Rail-- pre-attached to the chassis Inner Rail Extension-- attach to the chassis Outer Rails-- slide together Front and Rear Brackets-- attach to the rack

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Installing the Optional Inner Rail Extensions

Attaching the optional inner rail extensions allows you to pull the server farther out of the rack. Do not put downward force on the chassis when it is fully extended.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

1. Place the inner rail extensions at the side of the chassis. Align the holes of the inner rail extension with the hooks on the side of the chassis. Make sure the extension faces outward like the inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis and under the hooks until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the extension to the chassis.
3. If desired, you can install a screw to further secure the extension to the chassis.
4. Repeat for the other inner rail extension.

Chassis Front

Figure 2-2. Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

Assembling the Outer Rails

Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack.

Assembling the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.
2. Align the round post in the rear rail (B) with the round hole at the end of the slot in the front rail (A), and slide the front section into the rear section.

Figure 2-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.

Outer Rail Installation

1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the front of the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.
2. Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.
3. Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D) and push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack.
4. Repeat the procedure for the other outer rail assembly.

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

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 a Telco Rack

Optional brackets are needed to install the server to a telco (open type) rack.

To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the 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.

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 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

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 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

Figure 5-1. Heatsink

Removing the Heatsink

Caution: 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 the CPU socket.

1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the opposite sequence shown in the picture above.

3. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force!)

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 re-installing 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 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 and be aware of the pin 1 locations. If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10DRU-i+ has a 4-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1" for connection to the 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.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for the front control panel connectors. 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.

5-4 I/O Ports

The I/O ports at the rear of the server are pictured below..

5-9 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.

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

JPG1 allows you to enable or disable the onboard VGA port. The default position is on pins 1 and 2 to enable VGA. See the table on the right for jumper settings. The default setting is enabled.

Figure 6-1. Chassis Front and Rear Views

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 Removing the Power

1. Use the operating system to power down the system, following the on-screen prompts.

2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the power cord and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply. If your system has dual power supplies, remove the cords from both power supplies.

3. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.

6-3 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."

6-4 Chassis Cover

Release Buttons

6-2. Removing the Chassis Cover

Before operating the system for the first time, remove the protective film over the cover of the chassis, in order to allow for proper ventilation and cooling.

Removing the Chassis Cover and Protective Film

1. Peel off the protective film covering the top cover and the top of the chassis
2. Press the two release buttons and slide the cover toward the rear.
3. Lift the top cover up.

Check that all ventilation openings on the top cover and the top of the chassis are clear and unobstructed.

6-5 Installing Drives

Drive bays are accessible from the front of the chassis without removing the chassis cover or powering down the system. The hard disk 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 carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis during system operation.

Removing Hard Drive Carriers from the Chassis

1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive carrier out of the chassis.

Figure 6-3. Removing a Hard Drive Carrier

Dummy Drive Hard Drive Carrier

Figure 6-4. Removing a Dummy Drive from the Drive Carrier

Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier

1. Remove the screws securing the dummy drive to the hard drive carrier, and remove the dummy.
2. Insert a hard drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connector end toward the rear of the carrier. Align the hard drive in the carrier so that the mounting holes of the carrier are aligned with the mounting holes of the drive. Note that there are holes in the carrier which are marked "SATA" to aid in correct installation.
3. Secure the drive to the carrier with the screws. Use the M3 flat-head screws included in the HDD bag of your accessory box. Note: The screws used to secure the dummy drive to the carrier cannot be used to secure the hard drive.
4. Insert the hard drive and carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the release button is on the right. When the carrier reaches the rear of the drive bay, the handle will retract.
5. Using your thumb, push against the upper part of the hard drive handle. Push the hard drive into the hard drive bay as illustrated below, until the hard drive clicks into the locked position.

Caution: Except for short periods of time (swapping hard drives), do not operate the server with the hard drive carriers removed.

Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/storage.cfm

6-6 Installing Expansion Cards

The system accepts two full height full-length expansion cards or one double width GPU, and one low profile card, mounted on a riser card and riser bracket. There is also an internal expansion slot in the center of the chassis. Additional fans are recommended; see Section 6-7.

Installing a Full Height or GPU Expansion Card

1. Power down the system as described in section 6-2 and remove the cover.
2. Remove the bracket and sections of the chassis in the rear. Small screwdriver icons are etched into the chassis pieces to help identify which screws must be removed.

1. Remove the cover and find the slot in the center of the chassis near the power supply modules.

2. Insert your SAS expansion card.

6-7 System Cooling

Four to eight 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. Each fan unit is actually 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. Four compound fans come stock with the server, and four more can be added.

Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so the cooling air circulates properly through the chassis.

Optional Fans

Additional fans are recommended when expansion cards are added. This table shows the fan positions.

Recommended Optional Fans
Expansion Card Location Fan	Position
PCIe x16 Slot 1 FAN 5, FAN 8
PCIe x16 Slot 2 FAN 5, FAN 8

Figure 6-8. Installing a Fan

System Fan Replacement

Fan speed is controlled by IPMI depending on the system temperature. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. The system can continue to run with a failed fan. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same model. Failed fans can be identified through the BIOS. The fan numbers are printed on the floor of the chassis.

Changing a System Fan

1. If necessary, 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 cover open.
2. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the chassis.
3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4cm 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 on the serverboard.
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.

BIOS Error Beep Codes

A.1 BIOS Error Beep (POST) 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 table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error	Message Description
1 short Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in system
5 long, 2 short	Display memory read/write error	Video adapter missing or with faulty memory
1 long continuous System OH System overheat condition

A.2 Additional 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/.

Appendix B

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

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.

B-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

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.

B-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main BIOS Block)

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: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures below for BIOS recovery.

B-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-Attached 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 file 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 file if the media size becomes too large because it contains too many folders and files.

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 disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.
   Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and power on the system
3. 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.

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