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 (35-43 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. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack. This rail set fits a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.

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.

Installing the Rails onto the Rack

The front and rear ends of each rail have a locking latch. This latch is used to attach the rails to the rack.

To mount the rails onto the rack, first extend them by releasing the inner rails from the outer rails.

1. Using a screwdriver, loosen the screws holding the inner rail in place inside the outer rail.

Locking Latch

Figure 2-1. Releasing the Inner Rail

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.

1. Mount the front end of the rail by pushing the outer rail latch through one of the square holes on the front of the rack.
2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it reaches the rear of the rack.
3. Mount the rear end of the rail by pushing the inner rail latch through one of the square holes on the rear of the rack. Take care to use the proper holes so that the rail is level.

Figure 2-2. Extending and Mounting a Rail

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.

1. Secure the length of the extended rail by tightening the screws into the holes closer to the inner rail.

2.4 Installing the Chassis into the Rack

After the rails are installed on the rack, the chassis can be installed in the rack. It is heavy and requires two to three people or a lift.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Align the sides of the chassis with the front of the rails.
2. Slide the chassis into the rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides.

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

Drive bays can be accessed by pulling the HDD drawer forward out of the chassis. Other components can be accessed though the front or rear of the chassis.

Caution: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place. It helps provide proper airflow and prevent overheating.

HDD Drawer Access

The drives can be accessed by opening the drawer that contains them.

Opening the HDD Drawer

1. A locking handle is on either side of the chassis front. To unlock the drawer, press the release buttons on the front handles down into the unlocked position.

Release Buttons

Figure 3-1. Unlocking the Drawer

1. Simultaneously pull both handles forward, sliding the HDD drawer out of the storage enclosure.
2. Push the drive carrier handle to release the carrier and pull it from the chassis.

3.3 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To avoid damaging your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect the system PCBs from ESD.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any PCB (printed circuit board) from its antistatic bag.
• Handle PCBs by their edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the PCBs back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• Use only the correct type of onboard CMOS battery. Do not install the onboard battery upside down to avoid possible explosion.

3.4 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together first to form the processor carrier assembly. This will be attached to the heatsink to form the processor heatsink module (PHM) before being installed onto the CPU socket.

Notes:

• Use ESD protection.
• Unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands (gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
• Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look different.

Creating the Non-F Model Processor Carrier Assembly

To install a Non-F model processor into the processor carrier, follow the steps below:

1. Hold the processor with the LGA lands (gold contacts) facing up. Locate the small, gold triangle in the corner of the processor and the corresponding hollowed triangle on the processor carrier. These triangles indicate pin 1. See the images below.
2. Using the triangles as a guide, carefully align and place Point A of the processor into Point A of the carrier. Then gently flex the other side of the carrier for the processor to fit into Point B.
3. Examine all corners to ensure that the processor is firmly attached to the carrier.

Processor Carrier Assembly (Non-F Model)

Assembling the Processor Heatsink Module

After creating the processor carrier assembly for the Non-F model processor, mount it onto the heatsink to create the processor heatsink module (PHM):

1. Note the label on top of the heatsink, which marks the heatsink mounting holes as 1, 2, 3, and 4. If this is a new heatsink, the thermal grease has been pre-applied on the underside. Otherwise, apply the proper amount of thermal grease.

2. Turn the heatsink over with the thermal grease facing up. Hold the processor carrier assembly so the processor's gold contacts are facing up, then align the triangle on the assembly with hole 1 of the heatsink. Press the processor carrier assembly down. The plastic clips of the assembly will lock outside of holes 1 and 2, while the remaining clips will snap into their corresponding holes.

3. Examine all corners to ensure that the plastic clips on the processor carrier assembly are firmly attached to the heatsink.

Installing the Processor Heatsink Module

After assembling the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM), install the PHM onto the CPU socket:

1. Align hole 1 of the heatsink with the printed triangle on the CPU socket. See the left image below.
2. Make sure all four holes of the heatsink are aligned with the socket before gently placing the heatsink on top.
3. With a T30 Torx-bit screwdriver, gradually tighten screws #1 - #4 to ensure even pressure. The order of the screws is shown on the label on top of the heatsink. To avoid damaging the processor or socket, do not use a force greater than 12 lbf-in when tightening the screws.
4. Examine all corners to ensure that the PHM is firmly attached to the socket.

Removing the Processor Heatsink Module

Before removing the processor heatsink module (PHM) from the motherboard, unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system. Then follow the steps below:

1. Use a T30 Torx-bit screwdriver to loosen the four screws in a backwards sequence of #4, #3, #2, and #1.
2. Gently lift the PHM upwards to remove it from the socket.

Memory

The X11DSC supports up to 4TB of 3DS Load Reduced DIMM (3DS LRDIMM), 3DS Registered DIMM (3DS RDIMM), Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), Registered DIMM (RDIMM) and Non-Volatile DIMM (NVDIMM) with speeds of 2933*/2666/2400/2133 MHz memory in 16 slots Note that populating the memory in a 2DPC system configuration on this motherboard will affect memory bandwidth performance.

\*Notes:

• Memory speed is dependent on the type of processors used in your system.
• Support for 2933 MHz memory is dependent on the processor SKU.
- The max. memory capacity support will differ according to the processor SKU.
- Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.
- Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any damage.

Memory Installation Sequence

Memory is populated using the "Fill First" method. The blue memory slot of each channel is considered the "first DIMM module" of the channel, and the black slot the second module of the channel. When installing memory modules, be sure to populate the blue memory slots first and then populate the black slots.

General Memory Population Requirements

1. Be sure to use the memory modules of the same type and speed on the motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
2. Using unbalanced memory topology such as populating two DIMMs in one channel while populating one DIMM in another channel on the same motherboard will result in reduced memory performance.
3. Populating memory slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

System Cooling

Six hot-swap, heavy-duty rear mounted fans provide cooling. They can be replaced without powering down the system.

Fan speed is controlled by a system temperature setting in 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 and all six fans will operate as long as one node is powered on.

Replacing a System Fan

1. While the power is running, examine the fans to determine which fan has failed.
2. On the failed fan, simultaneously squeeze the fan's side release tabs inward.

TOP Release tabs

Figure 3-16. Removing a Fan from a Node

1. Place the new fan into the vacant fan bay and confirm that the fan is fully seated in the fan bay.
2. Make sure the new fan is functioning properly.

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.

Responses

If the enclosure 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.

Power Supply

The system features redundant power supplies and will continue to operate if one module fails, when it should be replaced as soon as convenient. The modules are hot-swappable, meaning they can be changed without powering down the system. New units can be ordered directly from Supermicro or authorized distributors. The power supplies are auto-switching capable. This feature enables them to automatically sense the input voltage and operate at a 200-240V range.

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.
• Solid Amber: When illuminated, indicates the power supply is plugged in and turned off, or the system is off but in an abnormal state.
• Blinking Amber: When blinking, this system power supply temperature has reached 63C. The system will automatically power-down when the power supply temperature reaches 70C and restart when the power supply temperature goes below 60C.

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, as illustrated.
3. Pull the module out using the handle.
4. Push the new module into the power bay until it clicks. Replace with the same model.
5. Plug the AC power cord back into the module.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers are used to choose between optional settings. Jumpers create shorts between two pins to change the function associated with it. Pin 1 is identified with a square solder pad on the printed circuit board. See the motherboard layout page for jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed" means the jumper is on both pins and "Open" indicates the jumper is either on only one pin or has been completely removed.

Connector Pins Jumper Setting 3 2 1 3 2 1

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS, which will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins, this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents of CMOS.

To Clear CMOS

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. Remove the cover of the chassis to access the motherboard.
3. Remove the onboard battery from the motherboard.
4. Short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as a small screwdriver for at least four seconds.
5. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
6. Replace the cover, reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Notes: Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.

Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

JBT1 contact pads

Watch Dog

JWD1 controls the Watch Dog function. Watch Dog is a monitor that can reboot the system when a software application hangs. Jumping pins 1-2 will cause Watch Dog to reset the system if an application hangs. Jumping pins 2-3 will generate a non-maskable interrupt signal for the application that hangs. Watch Dog must also be enabled in BIOS. The default setting is Reset.

Note: When Watch Dog is enabled, the user needs to write their own application software to disable it.

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.

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.

The fatal errors are usually communicated through repeated patterns of audible beeps. Each pattern of audible beeps listed below corresponds to its respective error.

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/.
