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 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 Unpacking the System

Inspect the box in which the SuperServer was shipped, and note if it was damaged in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it. Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. 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. It will also require a grounded AC power outlet nearby. Be sure to read the precautions and considerations noted in Appendix A.

2.3 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.
• 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.).

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 Wall Mount Procedure

The CSE-E403iF-000NBP can be mounted directly on a surface using the mounting brackets and mounting screws or nails. The following procedure describes how to mount the system to a sturdy surface. Note that formal testing has only been performed on dry wall. Use screws or nails of sufficient strength to support the weight of the system.

Mounting the Chassis

1. Attach the three mounting brackets to the chassis using the ten M4xL4 screws that came with the system. See the figure below. The mounting bracket along the I/O panel is pre-attached.

Chapter 3

Maintenance and Component Installation

This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given.

Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.

3.1 Removing Power

Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing a non-redundant power supply.

1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s).

3.2 Accessing the System

General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance

• For optimal performance, use DDR4 memory of the same type, size, and speed.
• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the slowest DIMM.
• The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed). However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is recommended.

DIMM Installation

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots based on the recommended DIMM population table.
2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
3. Align the key of the DIMM module with the receptive point on the memory slot.
4. Align the notches on both ends of the module against the receptive points on the ends of the slot.
5. Press the ends of the module straight down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
6. Press the release tabs to the lock positions to secure the DIMM module into the slot.

DIMM Removal

Press both release tabs on the ends of the DIMM module to unlock it. Once the DIMM module is loosened, remove it from the memory slot.

3.8 System Cooling

The SuperServer SYS-E403-12P-FN2T includes three replaceable 8-cm x 3.8-cm fans and one air shroud to direct air flow. Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so the cooling air circulates properly through the chassis.

Caution: Since the system continues to draw a small amount of power in standby mode (and fans are off), there is a potential for overheating if the system is idle for a long time. In this situation, there is no warning from the overheat/fan fail LED.

Fans

Three 8-cm x 3.8-cm fans provide the cooling for the system. These fans circulate air through the chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by IPMI. Each fan has its own separate tachometer.

Interior view of a server rack with labeled components (no text or symbols on the main body)

Figure 3-11. Fan Positions

Replacing Fans

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed, the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model.

1. Power down the system and remove the AC power cord and the chassis cover.

2. Remove the old fan from the fan brace by pressing the fan latch and pulling it up.

3. Slide the new fan into the fan brace until the fan latch snaps into the notch and you hear a click sound.

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 sections 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.

A125C W-110 REV: 2.00 DESIGNED IN USA CPU LE3

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 \~3VDC. If it does not, replace it.
- Check that the system input voltage is 100-120V or 180-240V.
- 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 3.3 for memory details.
• Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the results.

Losing the System Setup Configuration

• Use a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information.
• Check that the motherboard battery still supplies \~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.

7.4 Crash Dump Using IPMI

In the event of a processor internal error (IERR) that crashes your system, you may want to provide information to support staff. You can download a crash dump of status information using IPMI. The IPMI manual is available at https://www.supermicro.com/solutions/IPMI.cfm.
