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 includes 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.

2.3 Installing the Rails

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure.

The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the specific rack you are using.

Identifying the Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right side of the chassis.

Locking Tabs

Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Rail Sections

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.

Releasing the Inner Rail

Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies as described on the previous page.
2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated below.
3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.

Installing The Inner Rails on the Chassis

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Confirm that the left and right inner rails have been correctly identified.
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 until the rail clicks into the locked position, which secures the inner rail to the chassis.
4. Secure the inner rail to the chassis with the screws provided.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 above for the other inner rail.

Installing the Outer Rails on the Rack

Installing the Outer Rails

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 of the front of the outer rail onto the slots on the front of the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack, as illustrated above.
4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it fits within the posts of the rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear portion of the outer rail onto the slots on the rear of the rack. If necessary, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
6. Repeat steps 1-5 for the remaining outer rail.

Figure 2-4. Extending and Releasing the Outer Rails

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

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.

Standard Chassis Installation

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Confirm that the inner rails are properly installed on the chassis.
2. Confirm that the outer rails are correctly installed on the rack.
3. Pull the middle rail out from the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball-bearing shuttle is at the front locking position of the middle rail.
4. Align the chassis inner rails with the front of the middle rails.
5. Slide the inner rails on the chassis into the middle rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides, until the locking tab of the inner rail clicks into the front of the middle rail, locking the chassis into the fully extended position.
6. Depress the locking tabs of both sides at the same time and push the chassis all the way into the rear of the rack.
7. If necessary for security purposes, use screws to secure the chassis handles to the front of the rack.

Optional Quick Installation Method

The following quick installation method may be used to install the chassis onto a rack. Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Install the whole rail assembly onto the rack as described previously.
2. Release the inner rail without retracting the middle rail.
3. Install the inner rails on the chassis as previously described previously.
4. Install the chassis onto the middle rail as described in the previous section.

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 SC216BE1C4-R1K23LPB features a removable top cover, which allows easy access to the inside of the chassis.

Removing the Top Cover

1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Remove the screws securing the cover to the chassis.
3. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis. See Figure 3-1.
4. Lift the cover from the chassis.

Warning: 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.

Assembling the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)

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

1. Locate "1" on the heatsink label and the corner next to it. With your index finger pressing against the screw at this corner, carefully turn the heatsink upside down with the thermal grease side facing up.
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 thermal grease.

3. Holding the processor package assembly by the edge, locate the hollow triangle at the corner ("a" in the drawing below), and note a hole and plastic mounting clips next to the triangle. Also locate another set of mounting clips and a hole at the diagonal corner of the of the processor package assembly ("b" in the drawing).

4. With the under side of heatsink and the under side of the processor package assembly facing up, align the corner on the heatsink ("A" in the drawing) against the mounting clips next to the hollow triangle ("a") on the processor package assembly.

5. Also align the corner ("B") at the diagonal side of the heatsink with the corresponding clips on the processor package assembly ("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 (PHM) is created.

Memory Installation

Memory Support

The X11DPH-T supports up to 4TB of Registered DIMM (RDIMM) or 3DS LRDIMM DDR4-2933 ECC memory (and up to four Intel Optane DCPMMs) in 16 DIMM slots. The black DIMM slots are reserved for future NVDIMM support. Populating the DIMM slots in a 2DPC (two DIMMs per channel) configuration with pairs of memory modules of the same type, speed and size will result in interleaved memory, which improves performance.

Note: 2933 MHz memory is supported by the 82xx/62xx/52xx platform only. Only Platinum-level and Gold-level processors support Intel Optane™ DC Persistent Memory Module (DCPMM).

Notes: 1. When installing DIMMs in a 2DPC memory configuration, first populate the blue memory slot, which is the first slot of a channel, followed by the black slot. 2. Using an unbalanced memory topology by installing two DIMMs in one channel while installing one DIMM in another channel will result in reduced memory performance. 3. Memory speed is dependent on the type of processors used in your system..

Installing Memory

Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1 and removing the cover as described in Section 3.2.

1. Starting with DIMMA1, push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.
2. Align the key of the DIMM with the receptive point on the memory slot and with your thumbs on both ends of the module, press it straight down into the slot until the module snaps into place.
3. Press the release tabs to the locked position to secure the DIMM module into the slot. Repeat for other DIMM slots as needed in the following order:
4. Insert DIMMs into the slots in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, DIMMC1, DIMMD1, DIMME1, DIMMF1, DIMMA2, and DIMMD2. Use memory modules of the same type and speed.
5. To remove a DIMM, unlock the release tabs then pull the DIMM from the memory slot.

Caution: Exercise extreme caution when installing or removing memory modules to prevent any possible damage to the DIMMs or slots.

Warning: In dual-CPU configurations, memory must be installed in the DIMM slots associated with the installed CPUs.

Note: Visit the product page on the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support (www.supermicro.com).

PCI Expansion Card Installation

The SSG-2029P-ACR24H can accommodate up to seven low-profile add-on cards in the PCI expansion slots on the serverboard.

Installing Add-on Card

1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate. Make sure that the card you are installing is supported by the slot (see table below).
2. Fully seat the card into the slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis. The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering each unused slot..

Motherboard Battery

The motherboard uses non-volatile memory to retain system information when system power is removed. This memory is powered by a lithium battery residing on the motherboard.

Replacing the Battery

Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1 and removing the cover as described in Section 3.2.

1. Push aside the small clamp that covers the edge of the battery. When the battery is released, lift it out of the holder.

2. To insert a new battery, slide one edge under the lip of the holder with the positive (+) side facing up. Then push the other side down until the clamp snaps over it.

Note: Handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the garbage or a public landfill. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

LITHIUM BATTERY BATTERY HOLDER

Figure 3-3. Installing the Onboard Battery

Warning: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down (which reverses its polarities). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2032).

3.4 Chassis Components

Hard Drives

Up to 24 hot-swap 2.5" hard drives are supported by the chassis. You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power to replace or swap hard drives

The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. (Both procedures may be done without removing power from the system.)

Removing a Hot-Swap Drive Carrier

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

Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier

1. To add a new drive, install it into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with the screws provided, then push the carrier completely into the drive bay. You should hear a *click* when the drive is fully inserted.

System Fans

Three 8-cm hot-swap chassis fans provide the cooling for the SSG-2029P-ACR24H/L. It is very important that the top cover of the chassis is properly installed in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of the fans has failed.

Replacing a System Fan

1. Press the release tab to lift the failed fan and pull it completely out of the chassis.
2. Place 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 those on the other fans. The fan will automatically begin running at the correct speed.

Air Shrouds

Air shrouds concentrate airflow to maximize fan efficiency. The SSG-2029P-ACR24H/L air shrouds do not require screws for installation.

Installing the Main Air Shroud

Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.

1. Lay the chassis on a flat, stable surface and remove the chassis cover as described in Section 3.2.
2. Ensure that the serverboard, CPUs, heatsink and memory are all properly installed.
3. If necessary, move any cables that interfere with the air shroud placement.
4. Place the air shroud in the chassis. The air shroud fits just behind the three fans. Slide the air shroud into the grooves just behind the fans.
5. The air shroud is designed with break-away pieces that may be removed to accommodate differing styles of motherboards.
6. An additional air shroud is required for high-powered CPUs to provide extra cooling. Install the additional air shroud if necessary.

Installing the Additional Air Shroud

1. Remove the left side break-away piece of the main air shroud.
2. Slide the additional air shroud into the chassis before installing the main air shroud.
3. Install the main air shroud as directed above.

Power Supply

The SSG-2029P-ACR24H/L has two redundant, hot-plug 1200 Watt power supplies. The power modules are hot-swappable, enabling them to be replaced without powering down the system.

These power supplies are auto-switching capable, allowing them to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating normally.

Replacing a Power Supply Module

1. Determine which power supply module needs to be replaced and unplug the power cord to that module.
2. Push the release tab (on the back of the power supply) as illustrated, to release the power module from the chassis.
3. While holding down the release tab, pull the power supply out using the handle provided on the power module.

Appendix A

BIOS 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 table shown below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

BIOS Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error	Message Description
1 beep 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 D

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 to avoid possible boot failure.

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 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 first turned on, the boot block codes execute first. Once this process is completed, 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 boot crashes.

Note 2: When the BIOS boot 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 BIOS Block with a USB 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), 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 disc Root "\" directory of a USB device or a writable 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 to "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.

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

BMC IP:18.132.161.50 System initializing...

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.)
