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 B.
• 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.

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

2.3 Installing the Server 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.

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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

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.

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.

Round Hole Secure to the front of the rack Slide outer rails together Secure to the rear of the rack Outer rail assembled Bracket with Square Pegs

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.

Installing the Chassis into the Rack

Installing the Chassis into the Rack

1. Slide the inner rail extensions into the front of the outer rails.
2. Push the chassis backward into the rack until it clicks into the locked position.

Removing the Chassis from the Rack

1. To remove the chassis from the rack, press the outer rail latch to release the chassis.
2. Carefully slide the chassis forward, off the outer rails and out of the chassis.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Two optional L-shaped brackets are needed to install the server to a telco (open type) rack. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

1. 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.
2. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it.
3. 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.
4. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

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

The SC119UTS-R751P features a removable top cover, which allows easy access to the inside of the chassis.

Removing the Top Cover

1. Disconnect the chassis from any power source if necessary (see above).
2. Press the two release buttons to remove the cover from the locked position. (Press both tabs at the same time.)
3. Once the top cover is released from the locked position, slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the cover off the chassis.
5. To remove the system from the rack completely, press the locking tabs in the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to pull the system out past the locked position.

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

The Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor series comes in two models: Fabric (F model) and Non-Fabric (Non-F model). Only the Non-Fabric model is supported for this system.

The processor (CPU) and heatsink should be assembled together first to form the processor heatsink module (PHM), and then install the PHM into the CPU socket.

Caution: Use ESD protection. Do not touch the underside of the CPU. Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the CPU or socket which may require manufacturer repairs.

Notes:

• All power should be off, as described in Section 3.1, before installing the processors.
• When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the CPU or socket.
• Check that the plastic socket dust cover is in place and none of the socket pins are bent—otherwise, contact your retailer.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.
• Graphics in this manual are for illustration. Your components may look slightly different.

After creating the processor package assembly, mount it onto the heatsink to create the processor heatsink module (PHM).

1. On the heatsink label, locate "1" and the corner next to it. Turn the heatsink upside down with the thermal grease side facing up, keeping track of the "1" corner.
2. Remove the protective thermal film if present. If this is a new heatsink, the necessary thermal grease has been pre-applied in the factory. If the heatsink is not new, apply the proper amount of the thermal grease.
3. In the plastic processor clip, locate the hollow triangle at the corner ("a" in the drawing below) next to a hole and plastic mounting clips. There is a similar hole and mounting clips at the diagonal corner of the of the processor clip ("b" in the drawing).
4. With the underside of heatsink and the underside of the processor package facing up, align the "1" corner on the heatsink ("A" in the drawing) against the mounting clips next to the hollow triangle ("a") on the processor package.
5. Also align the corner ("B") at the diagonal side of the heatsink with the corresponding clips on the processor package ("b").
6. Once aligned, press the processor package assembly onto the heatsink until the mounting clips (at a, b, c, and d) snap into place.

The processor heatsink module is assembled.

3.4 Chassis Components

Hard Drives

The SYS-1029UX-LL1-C16/LL2-C16/LL3-C16 supports 10 hot-swappable 2.5" hard drives. The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis..

Removing a Hot-Swap Drive Carrier

1. Push the release button on the carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle.
2. Swing the handle fully out.
3. Grasp the handle and use it to pull the drive carrier out of its bay.

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

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.

Installing Fans

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

Replacing a System Fan

1. If necessary, open the chassis while the power is running to determine which fan requires changing. (Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis open.)
2. Power down the system as described in Section 3.1.
3. Next, remove the top chassis cover as described in Section 3.2.
4. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the chassis.
5. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4cm fan, available from Supermicro.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.

Power Supply

The SYS-1029UX-LL1-C16/LL2-C16/LL3-C16 has a redundant 750W power supply, consisting of two power supply modules. These power supplied are auto-switching capable, which enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100V to 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The Power Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro.

Replacing the Power Supply

Begin by removing power from the failed power supply.

1. Releasing the retention screws that secure the chassis to the rack, then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
3. Push in the locking tab at the back of the module to release it.
4. Pull the unit straight out of the chassis.
5. Insert the new unit into the chassis, pushing until it clicks.
6. Plug the AC power cord back into the module.

Stale AtoS (A to S)

The in-memory directory has three states: I, A, and S states. The I (-invalid) state indicates that the data is clean and does not exist in the cache of any other sockets. The A (-snoop All) state indicates that the data may exist in another socket in an exclusive or modified state. The S state (-Shared) indicates that the data is clean and may be shared in the

caches across one or more sockets. When the system is performing "read" on the memory and if the directory line is in A state, we must snoop all other sockets because another socket may have the line in a modified state. If this is the case, a "snoop" will return the modified data. However, it may be the case that a line "reads" in an A state, and all the snoops come back with a "miss". This can happen if another socket reads the line earlier and then has silently dropped it from its cache without modifying it. If the "Stale AtoS" feature is enabled, a line will transition to the S state when the line in the A state returns only snoop misses. That way, subsequent reads to the line will encounter it in the S state and will not have to snoop, saving the latency and snoop bandwidth. Stale "AtoS" may be beneficial in a workload where there are many cross-socket reads. The options are Disable, Enable, and Auto.

LLC Dead Line Alloc

Select Enable to opportunistically fill the deadlines in the LLC. The options are Enable, Disable, and Auto.

This hierarchy can be cleared or changed independently of the other hierarchies. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Endorsement Hierarchy

Select Enabled for Endorsement Hierarchy support, which contains separate controls to address the user's privacy concerns because the primary keys in this hierarchy are certified by the TPM or a manufacturer to be constrained to an authentic TPM device that is attached to an authentic platform. A primary key can be an encrypted, and a certificate can be created using TPM2_ActivateCredential. It allows the user to independently enable "flag, policy, and authorization value" without involving other hierarchies. A user with privacy concerns can disable the endorsement hierarchy while still using the storage hierarchy for TPM applications and permitting the platform software to use the TPM. The options are Enabled and Disabled.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Codes

A.1 BIOS Error POST (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.

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/.

D.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 that will allow the UEFI OS loader stored in an add-on card to boot the system. The UEFI offers clean, hands-off management to a computer during system boot.

D.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 recovery block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a healthy BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is turned on, the recovery block codes execute first. Once this process is complete, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and the remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines.

Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS block crashes.

Note 2: When the BIOS recovery block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. (For a RMA request, please see section 3.5 for more information). Also, you may use the Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (OOB) (https://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/nfo/SMS_SUM.cfm) to reflash the BIOS.

D.3 Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device

This feature allows the user to recover the main 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 the recovery block is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32), which is 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 due to the huge volumes of folders and files stored in the device.

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 Root "\" directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.

Note 1: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your drive disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary image into a USB flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use.

Note 2: Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the "Super.ROM" binary image file you download is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard.

1. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and reset the system when the following screen appears.

BMC IP:10.132.160.92 PEI--Could Not Find Recovery Image... 87

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

CPU-Based RAID for NVMe

Intel® Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC) is an enterprise RAID solution for NVMe SSDs directly attached to Intel Xeon Scalable processors. Intel Volume Management Device (VMD) is an integrated controller inside the CPU PCI-E root complex.

• A single processor supports up to 12 NVMe SSDs and up to 6 RAID arrays.
• A dual processor system supports up to 24 NVMe SSDs and 12 RAID arrays.

Strip sizes are 4K, 8K, 16K, 32K, 64K, 128K.

Requirements and Restrictions

• Intel VROC is only available when the system is configured for UEFI boot mode.
• To enable the mdadm command and support for RSTe, install the patch from

- Linux: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28158/Intel-Virtual-RAID-on-CPU-Intel-VROC-and-Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-enterprise-Intel-RSTe-Driver-for-Linux-

- Windows: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28108/Intel-Virtual-RAID-on-CPU-Intel-VROC-and-Intel-Rapid-Storage-Technology-enterprise-Intel-RSTe-Driver-for-Windows-

• To enable Intel VROC, a hardware key must be inserted on the motherboard, and the appropriate processor's Virtual Management Devices must be enabled in the BIOS setup.
• It is possible to enable Intel VROC without a hardware key installed, but only RAID0 will be enabled.
• Intel VROC is not compatible with secure boot. This feature must be disabled.
• When creating bootable OS RAID1 devices, you must have both devices on the same CPU, and a VMD on that CPU.
• Spanning drives when creating RAID devices is not recommended due to performance issues, even though it is supported.

E.4 Hot Swap Drives

Intel VMD enables hot-plug and hot-unplug for NVMe SSDs, whether from Intel or other manufacturers. Under vSphere ESXi, several steps are necessary to avoid potential stability issues. See the information at link [1] below.

Hot-unplug

1. Prevent devices from being re-detected during rescan:

esxcli storage core claiming autoclaim --enabled=false

1. Unmount the VMFS volumes on the device. Check [2] for details.
2. Detach the device. Check [3] for details.
3. Physically remove the device.

Hot-plug

• Physically install the device.

ESXi will automatically discover NVMe SSDs, but a manual scan may be required in some cases.
