1.2 Unpacking the System

Inspect the box in which the system was shipped, and note if it was damaged. If any equipment appears damaged, file a 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.

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 4 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.
• 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.

2.3 Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes 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.

Inner Rails (Inner rail is preinstalled on the chassis) Inner Rail Locking Tabs

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

Locking Tabs

Both chassis rails have a locking tab. The tabs lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. 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.

Inner Rails

The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, but should the need arise to remove them, reinstallation of the rails is simple and can be accomplished with a screwdriver.

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rail on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chassis with the inner rail holes.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with one screw.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail.

Screw ① ② ③

Figure 2-2. Installing the Inner Rails (Right side shown)

Warning: Do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.

Outer Rails

Outer rails attach to the rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for the chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. Align the pins of the rail with the slides. The ends of each bracket must angle in the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail fits snugly into the rack.
3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the rack with two M5 screws and the short bracket to the rear side of the rack with three M5 screws. Make sure that both sides are at the same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining outer rail.

Secure to the Front of the Rack Attach Outer Rails Together Secure to the Rear of the Rack

Figure 2-3. Assembling the Outer Rails

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

2.4 Installing the Chassis into the Rack

1. Confirm that the chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions. Also, confirm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
2. Align the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. (It may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, the locking tabs will "click" into the locked position.
4. Insert and tighten the screws that hold the front of the server to the rack.

System Fans

The 1019D-FHN13TP and 1019D-4C-FHN13TP systems come with four heavy-duty fans. There are additional sockets for two more optional fans to provide additional cooling, if needed, for a total of six fans. The 1019D-14CN-FHN13TP and 1019D-16C-FHN13TP systems come with six heavy-duty fans.

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 in a set has its own separate tachometer.

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and 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.

Note: The chassis top cover must be installed for proper airflow.

Replacing a System Fan

1. Determine which fan has failed using IPMI, or if necessary, open the chassis while the system is running. Never run the server for long without the chassis cover.
2. Remove power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
3. Remove the air shroud and fan cable from the motherboard.
4. Gently pull upward to remove a failed fan from the housing.
5. Push the new fan into the housing making sure the fan is oriented in the same direction as the other fans.
6. Reconnect the fan cables to the same chassis fan headers and replace the air shroud.
7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

Checking the Server Air Flow

• Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server.
• Do not operate the server without drives or drive carriers in the hot-swap drive bays.
• Use only recommended server parts.
• Make sure no wires or foreign objects obstruct air flow through the chassis. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path or use shorter cables.

The control panel LEDs display system heat status. See “Control Panel” in Chapter 1 for details.

Overheating

There are several possible responses if the system overheats.

If the server overheats:

1. Use the overheat/fan fail LED to determine the nature of the overheating condition.
2. Confirm that the chassis covers are installed properly.
3. Make sure all fans are present and operating normally.
4. Check the routing of the cables.
5. Verify that the heatsink and air shroud are installed properly.

Caution: If the operating temperature exceeds 30^ C and the system fans are not active, a LAN component may become overheated.

Power Supply

The SC513B chassis has either one 350W or one 500W power supply. The power supply is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. It will be necessary to shut down the system in order to change the power supply. If replacing, use the exact same model. New units can be ordered directly from Supermicro or authorized distributors.

Changing a Fixed Power Supply

1. Power down the system, unplug the AC cord from the power supply, and remove the cover.
2. Remove the three screws located on the end of the power supply bay and one screw at the front of the power supply and under side of the chassis, as illustrated below. Set the screws aside for later use.
3. Gently slide the power supply out of the back of the chassis.
4. Replace the failed power supply with another of the same model.
5. Slide the new power supply into the power supply bay.
6. Align the holes in the power supply with the holes in the power supply bay and secure the power supply using the four screws which were set aside in step 2.
7. Replace the chassis cover, plug the power cord into the rear of the power supply, and power up the system.

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.

1. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and power on the system

2. 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.

Scanned text of a document with red and blue pixelated text, likely from a form or table.

Note: On the other hand, if the following screen displays, please load the "Super.ROM" file to the root folder and connect this folder to the system. (You can do so by inserting a USB device that contains the new "Super.ROM" image to your machine for BIOS recovery.)

Scanned text of a digital display showing red and blue pixel patterns on black background

1. After locating the new BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu as shown below.

Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start with BIOS recovery. If you decide to proceed with BIOS recovery, follow the procedures below.
