1-2 Motherboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 2028U-T Series lies the X10DRU-i+, a dual processor motherboard based on the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the motherboard. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.)

Processors

The motherboard supports single or dual Intel E5-2600 v3/v4 Series processors in LGA2011 sockets (Socket R3). Refer to the Supermicro web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The motherboard has 24 memory sockets that can support up to 3 TB of LRDIMM (Load-Reduced DIMMs) DDR4-2400/2133/1866/1600/1333 memory or 768 GB of ECC registered DDR4-1600/1333/1066/800 non-volatile RDIMM (Registered DIMMs). Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.

Onboard Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA subsystem. Six of the ports are supported by the Intel PCH and four of the ports are supported by the Intel SCU. The SATA 3.0 ports are connected to the backplane by default. RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supported by Intel RSTe Software RAID.

Rear I/O Ports

The rear I/O ports include one COM port, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 3.0 ports and a dedicated IPMI LAN port. In addition, there are several possible networking configurations depending on the pre-installed Ultra riser card. See the table in Section 1-1.

Graphics Controller

The motherboard features an integrated ASpeed 2400 BMC graphics chip.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The 2028U-T Series is built upon the SC219UAC-R1K02 chassis or the SC219UAC4-R1K02 for NVMe models. Details and related procedures can be found in Chapter 6. The following is a general outline of the main features of the chassis.

System Power

The chassis features a redundant 1 KW power supply consisting of two hot-plug power modules. They have 80 Plus certification at Titanium Level (96%) high-efficiency. The system will continue to operate if one module fails or is replaced.

Hard Drives

The chassis supports up to twenty-four 2.5" hot-swap hard drives. A standard 2028U-T Series server supports ten SATA drives, or for NVMe models, eight SATA drives and up to four NVMe drives. Expansion cards are required add more drives up to 24.

PCI Expansion Slots

All 2028U-T Series models include two WIO riser cards that support PCI-Express 3.0 expansion cards—four full size x8 cards and one low profile x8 card. In addition, each system comes with an Ultra riser card to provide added features including additional PCI expansion slots. The total number of expansion cards depends on the model in the 2028U-T Series. See section 6-5 for details.

Front Control Panel

The chassis front control panel provides system monitoring and power control. Status LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, UID, and overheat and fan failure.

Cooling System

The chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 8-cm high-performance fans. Fan speed can be determined by system temperature via IPMI. Each power supply module also includes a cooling fan.

NVMe

(2028U-TNRT+ and -TNR4T+ models only) The NVM Express ports provide high-speed, low-latency connections directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State drives (SSDs). This greatly increases SSD throughput and significantly reduces storage device latency by simplifying driver and software requirements resulting from the direct PCI-E interface between the CPU and the NVMe SSD drives.

Notes

Chapter 2

Server Installation

This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack.

2-1 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

2-2 Preparing for Setup

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet. is required

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely.
• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and access for servicing.
• It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or a service closet.

2-3 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In single rack installation, 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 component from the rack.
• You should extend only one 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 Chapter 4.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow the hot plug SAS drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing 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 ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced 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.).

Warning! 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.

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly. Refer to the installation instructions that came with your rack. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.8" and 36.4" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies. Each assembly consists of three sections: An inner rail that 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.

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.

Releasing 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.
4. Repeat for the other outer rail.

電源コードとACアダプター

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X10DRU-i+ serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chassis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.

The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Notes:

• Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.
- When receiving a serverboard 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.
- If you buy a CPU separately, use only an Intel-certified, multi-directional heatsink.
- Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.
• Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.
• Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

4. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU.
5. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before re-installing the heatsink.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they were originally after reconnecting them and be aware of the pin 1 locations. If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables.

Connecting Power Cables

The X10DRU-i+ has a 4-pin primary power supply connector designated JPW1 for connection to the power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for the front control panel connectors. All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the system status LEDs in the chassis.

See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descriptions of JF1.

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.

Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

6-6 System Fans

The chassis contains four 8-cm high-performance fans.

Replacing a System Fan

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining fan 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. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord(s) is also recommended as a safety precaution.

Replacing System Fans

1. After determining which fan has failed, turn off the system power.
2. Unplug the fan wiring from the serverboard and remove the failed fan.
3. Press the fan release tab to lift the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely from the chassis.
4. 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 the arrows on the other fans.
5. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before replacing the chassis cover.

Figure 6-10. System Fans

Air Shroud

Cooling is also improved by installing the standard air shroud. Insert it over the CPUs.

6-7 Power Supply

The 2028U-T Series has a 1000 watt redundant hot-plug power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.

Replacing a Power Supply Module

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. The power supply units have a hot-plug capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Replacing the Power Supply

1. First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
2. Depress the release tab on the power supply module as illustrated.
3. Use the handle to pull the module straight out of the chassis.
4. Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit.
5. Push the new power supply unit into the power bay until it clicks.
6. Plug the AC power cord back into the unit and power up the server.

BIOS Error Beep Codes

A.1 BIOS Error Beep (POST) 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 below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.

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/.

Appendix B

UEFI BIOS Recovery Instructions

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.

B-1 An Overview to the UEFI BIOS

The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the pre-boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent mechanism for add-on card initialization to allow the UEFI OS loader, which is stored in the add-on card, to boot the system. The UEFI offers a clean, hands-off control to a computer system at bootup.

B-2 How to Recover the UEFI BIOS Image (-the Main BIOS Block)

A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The boot block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a new BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is on, the boot block codes execute first. Once it is completed, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and bootup.

Note: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS boot crashes. However, when the BIOS boot block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures below for BIOS recovery.

B-3 To Recover the Main BIOS Block Using a USB-Attached Device

This feature allows the user to recover a BIOS image using a USB-attached device without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.

The file system supported by UEFI is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size becomes too large because it contains too many folders and files.

To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.

1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into the disc Root "\" Directory of a USB device or a writeable CD/DVD.
   Note: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your driver disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS image into a USB flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for BIOS recovery use.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and power on the system
3. While powering on the system, please keep pressing and simultaneously on your keyboard until the following screen (or a screen similar to the one below) displays.

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