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 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 Installing the Rails

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 will differ slightly from the instructions provided. 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 26.8" and 36.4" deep.

Overview of the Rack Rails

The package includes two rail assemblies. Each is specifically designed for the left or right side of the chassis, and so marked. Each rail consists of two sections: a front section which secures to the front post of the rack and a rear section which adjusts in length and secures to the rear post of the rack.

Rail Assembly (Shown with Rails Retracted) Outer Rail Middle Rail Locking Tab Inner Rail This Side Faces Outward

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Outer Rail, Middle Rail and Inner Rail (Left Rail Assembly Shown)

Note: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. First, it locks the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (its normal operating position. In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when pulled out for servicing.

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.

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.

Diagram showing three steps of a mechanical assembly with labeled components and directional arrows

Figure 2-2. Extending and Releasing the Inner Rail

Installing the Inner Rails

Begin the rack mounting procedure by installing the inner rails to the chassis.

1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled.
2. Place the inner rail firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
3. Slide the inner rail forward toward the front of the chassis and under the hooks until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to the chassis.
4. Optionally, you can further secure the inner rail to the chassis with a screw.

Inner Rails 2 3

Figure 2-3. Installing the Rails

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

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

Technical diagram illustrating four stages of a mechanical assembly or mounting mechanism with labeled components and directional arrows.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom of a rack first.

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.

2.4 Installing the Server into a Rack

Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server.

Caution: Heavy! Use two or more people, or a lift to install the server.

1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.
2. Align the rear of the chassis rails with the middle rails and then push evenly on both sides of the chassis until it clicks into the fully extended position.
3. Depress the locking tabs on both sides of the chassis and push the it fully into the rack. The locking tabs should "click".
4. Optional screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.

Ball-Bearing Shuttle

Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into the Rack

Note: Keep the ball bearing shuttle locked at the front of the middle rail during installation.

Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.

Removing the Chassis from the Rack

Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack. Use a lift.

1. Pull the chassis forward out the front of the rack until it stops.

2. Press the release latches on each of the inner rails downward simultaneously and continue to pull the chassis forward and out of the rack.

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

The SC219U chassis features a removable top cover that allows access to components. Check that all ventilation openings in the chassis are clear and unobstructed.

Removing the Top Cover

1. Remove the two screws on the side of the chassis that secures the cover to the chassis
2. Press the two release buttons and slide the cover toward the rear.
3. Lift the top cover up.

Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow for proper airflow and to prevent overheating.

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the motherboard.

Notes:

• Use ESD protection.
  • Power down the system as described in Section 3.1.
• The motherboard should be installed into the chassis first and the processor should be installed into the CPU socket before you install a CPU heatsink.
• If you bought a CPU separately, make sure to use a certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• When receiving a motherboard 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.
• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support. All graphics in this manual are for illustration only. Your components may look different.

1. Remove the External Cap from the Rail Frame by pulling it upwards through the rail guides on the Rail Frame.

Carrier Frame/ CPU Package

Figure 3-6. Inserting the Carrier Frame/CPU Package

1. The CPU Package is shipped from the factory with the blue Carrier Frame pre-assembled. Grip the handle of the Carrier Frame/CPU Package assembly from its shipping tray, and while gripping the handle, align the flanges of the Carrier Frame onto the rails of the Rail Frame so its pins will be at the bottom when the Rail Frame is lowered later.
2. Slide the Carrier Frame/CPU Package downwards to the bottom of the Rail Frame. Ensure the flanges are secure on the rails as you lower it downwards.

Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the Rail Frame plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the Rail Frame plate again, and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

1. Lift up the Rail Frame till it securely rests in upright position. Then remove the PnP Cover Cap from the CPU socket below. Grip the two lift tabs marked "Remove" at the middle of the cap and pull vertically upwards to remove the PnP Cover Cap.

The processor and heatsink installation is complete. Repeat this procedure for any remaining CPU sockets on the motherboard.

1. Replace the screws in the order 1-2-3, tightening to 16.1 kgf-cm (14 lbf-in) of torque. The Force Frame secures both the Rail Frame and CPU Package.

Caution: Tightening must be executed in proper 1-2-3 sequence to avoid causing catastrophic damage to the socket or CPU Package.

1. Lower the heatsink down till it rests securely on CPU Package over the four screw holes on the socket frame.

2. Using a diagonal pattern and a Torx T20 driver, tighten the four heatsink screws evenly to 16.1 kgf-cm (14.0 lbf-in) of torque.

Removing a Heatsink

We do not recommend removing the heatsink. If necessary, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the CPU socket.

Note: Wait for the heatsink to cool down before removing it.

1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence as show in the figure above.

2. Hold and gently pivot the heatsink back and forth to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when dislodging the heatsink!)

3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease to the surface before you re-install the heatsink.

3. Select Device, Group and slot and click Insert. The drive Status LED indicator flashes red, then turns off. The Activity LED turns blue.

Checking the Temperature of an NVMe Drive

There are two ways to check using IPMI.

Checking a Drive

• IPMI > Server Health > NVMe SSD – Shows the temperatures of all NVMe drives, as in Figure 3-4.
• IPMI > Server Health > Sensor Reading > NVME_SSD – Shows the single highest temperature among all the NVMe drives.

System Cooling

Fans

The chassis contains four 8-cm high-performance fans. 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 will continue to run with a failed fan, although it may shut down if the heat gets too great. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same model. Failed fans can be identified through the IPMI.

Changing 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. Push the release tab and pull the failed fan from the chassis. Fans can be replaced while the system is running.

3. Replace the failed fan with an identical fan, available from Supermicro. Push the new fan into the housing, making sure the air flow direction is the same.

4. 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.

Figure 3-20. Fan Positions and Numbering

Installing the Air Shrouds

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. They do not require screws to install. If you use an M.2 SSD, a specialized shroud is installed instead of the standard shrouds. Some GPUs require specialized shrouds.

Installing the Standard Air Shrouds

- Position the air shrouds as illustrated in the figure below, sliding the front notch over the pin on the fan tray.

Shrouds p p

Note: Graphics are for illustration purposes only. Your components may look slightly different

Figure 3-21. Installing the Standard Air Shrouds

Checking the Server Air Flow

• Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server.
• If you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel filter is replaced periodically.
• Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the 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.

Overheat Temperature Setting

Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual at www.supermicro.com. (Click Support, then the Manuals link.)

Responses

If the server overheats:

1. Use the LEDs 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 heatsinks are installed properly.

Power Supply

The system features redundant power supplies and will continue to operate if one module fails. It should be replaced as soon as convenient. They can be changed without powering down the system. New units can be ordered directly from Supermicro or authorized distributors.

These power supplies are auto-switching capable. This feature enables them to automatically sense the input voltage and operate at a 100-120v or 180-240v.

Power Supply LEDs

On the rear of the power supply module, an LED displays the status.

• Solid Green: When illuminated, indicates that the power supply is on.
- Blinking Green: When blinking, indicates that the power supply is plugged in and turned off by the system.
- Blinking Amber: When blinking, indicates that the power supply has a warning condition and continues to operate.
- Solid Amber: When illuminated, indicates that the power supply is plugged in, and is in an abnormal state. The system might need service. Please contact Supermicro technical support.

Changing the Power Supply Module:

1. Unplug the AC cord from the module to be replaced.
2. On the back of the module, push the release tab sideways.
3. Pull the module out using the handle.

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the H11DSU-iN and provides the instructions on navigating the setup screens. The BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be updated.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted since this manual was published.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the key while the system is booting up. (There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , etc.)

The BIOS screens have three main frames. The large left frame displays options can be configured by the user. These are blue. When an option is selected, it is highlighted in white. Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

In the left frame, a "▶" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the key opens the list of settings in that submenu.

The upper right frame displays helpful information for the user. 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 lower right frame lists navigational methods. The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys can be used at any time during setup navigation. These keys include , , , , arrow keys, etc.

Some system parameters may be changed.

6.2 Main Setup

When running the AMI BIOS setup utility, it starts with the Main screen. You can always return to it by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen.

Appendix C

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 need to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. Doing so may cause a boot failure.

C.1 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 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 clean, hands-off control to a computer system at bootup.

C.2 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 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.

C.3 Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device

If the BIOS file is corrupted and the system is not able to boot up, this feature will allow you to recover the BIOS image using a USB-attached device. A USB flash drive or a USB CD/DVD ROM drive may be used for this purpose. Please note that a USB hard disk drive is NOT supported. Follow the procedures on the next page to recover the BIOS.

1. Using a different system, copy the standard BIOS binary image file into the root directory of a USB flash drive with FAT16 or FAT32 format and rename the file to SUPER.ROM.

Note: If you cannot locate the "SUPER.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the correct BIOS image into a USB flash device and rename it "SUPER.ROM".

1. While the system is turned off, insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS binary image (SUPER.ROM).
2. Power on the system.

Notes:

* The BIOS recovery (SUPER.ROM) will not work if BIOS has a multi-block crash.

* If you have purchased an OOB license, you can do a BIOS flash again through BMC WebGUI or SUM. Please refer to these SUPERMICRO software-related videos:

Activate OOB license: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4spX_DOV7I

SUPERMICO BIOS Update: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8z6iOEHGwY

* If the BIOS flash recovery fails, contact our RMA Department to have the BIOS chip reprogrammed. This will require shipping the board to Supermicro for repair.

Submit your RMA request at https://www.supermicro.com/support/rma

Please make sure to follow all instructions when returning the motherboard.
