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.

2.3 Installing the Rails

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. This rail set fits a rack between 25.6" and 33" 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.

If you are installing into a two-post "telco" rack, skip to that section later in this chapter.

Identifying the Rails

The chassis comes with 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 pre-attached to the chassis, an outer rail that attaches to the rack, and a middle rail that slides forward in the outer rail.

Inner Rail-- pre-attached to the chassis Middle Rail (not shown)-- slides forward from the outer rail Outer Rail, Front and Rear Brackets

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack 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.

Bracket with Square Pegs C D

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

Note: The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom of the rack first.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

2.4 Installing the Chassis into a Rack

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

1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.

2. Align the rear of the chassis rails with the middle rails and then push evenly on both sides of the chassis until it clicks into the fully extended position.

3. Depress the locking tabs on both sides of the chassis and push the it fully into the rack. The locking tabs should "click".

4. Thumb screws may be used to secure the front of the chassis to the rack.

Maintenance and Component Installation

This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given.

Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system. Please follow the procedures given in each section.

3.1 Removing Power

Use the following procedure to ensure that power has been removed from the system. This step is necessary when removing or installing non hot-swap components or when replacing a non-redundant power supply.

1. Use the operating system to power down the system.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the power strip or outlet. (If your system has more than one power supply, remove the AC power cords from all power supply modules.)
3. Disconnect the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s).

3.2 Accessing the System

Removing System from the Rack

1. Pull the chassis forward out the front of the rack until it stops.
2. Disengage the locking tabs in the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) while pulling the system out past the locked position.

Removing the Top Cover

The 819U chassis features a removable top cover.

- Push both release buttons toward the chassis rear and slide the cover toward the rear. (See following drawing)

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

Cautions:

• When handling the processor (CPU) package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the CPU or CPU socket.
• Improper CPU installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the CPU or motherboard which may result in RMA repairs.
  • Take all standard precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge (ESD) which can damage components.
• Read thoroughly and follow all instructions.

Assemble the processor (CPU) and heatsink together first then install that assembly onto the CPU socket.

Notes:

• The motherboard should be installed into the chassis first and the processor should be installed into the CPU socket before you install a CPU heatsink.
• If you bought a CPU separately, make sure that you use a certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
  • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support.

Installing the Processor and Heatsink

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

1. Use a Torx T20 driver to loosen the screws holding down Force Frame in the sequence of 3-2-1. The screws are numbered on the Force Frame next to each screw hole. Tighten to 16.1 kgf-cm (14 lbf-in) of torque.

1. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it.

Notches Release Tabs

1. 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.

Key

1. Press the release tabs to the locked position to secure the DIMM module into the slot.

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

Removing Memory

To remove a DIMM, unlock the release tabs then pull the DIMM from the memory 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.

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 3-13. 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

This section provides instructions on installing and replacing system components. To assure compatibility, only use components that match the specifications or part numbers given.

Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.

Storage Drives

The system supports four 3.5" storage drives. Standard drives are SATA but can support NVMe or SAS with the appropriate optional kits.

The drives are mounted in drive carriers that simplify their removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow.

Drive Carrier Indicators

Each drive carrier has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. In RAID configurations, the status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID configurations, the status indicator remains off. See the table below for details.

Drive Carrier LED Indicators
	Color Blinking Pattern Behavior for Device
Activity LED	Blue Solid On SAS/NVMe drive installed
	Blue Blinking I/O activity
Status LED	Red Solid On Failure of drive with RSTe support
	Red Blinking at 1 Hz Rebuild drive with RSTe support
	Red Blinking with two blinks and one stop at 1 Hz		Hot spare for drive with RSTe support
	Red On for five seconds, then off		Power on for drive with RSTe support
	Red Blinking at 4 Hz Identify drive with RSTe support
	Green Solid On Safe to remove NVMe device
	Amber Blinking at 1 Hz Attention state—do not remove NVMe device

Note: Enterprise level drives are recommended. For information, visit https://www.supermicro.com/en/Aplus/system/1U/1024/AS-1024US-TRT.cfm.

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.

Make sure the chassis top cover makes a good seal so the cooling air circulates properly through the chassis.

Technical diagram of a server rack with numbered components, highlighting internal hardware layout and mounting areas.

Figure 3-16. Fan Positions

System Fan Replacement

Fan speed is controlled by IPMI depending on the system temperature. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. The system can continue to run with a failed fan. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same model. Failed fans can be identified through the BIOS. The fan numbers are printed on the floor of the chassis.

Changing a System Fan

1. If necessary, open the chassis while the system is running to determine which fan has failed. Never run the server for an extended period of time with the chassis cover open.
2. Remove power from the system as described in Section 3.2
3. Unplug the fan cable from the motherboard and remove the failed fan from the chassis.
4. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4cm fan, available from Supermicro.
5. 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.
6. 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 motherboard.
7. 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.

Technical line drawings of a server rack with internal components and mounting bracket (no text or symbols)

Figure 3-18. Installing the Air Shroud

Note: Drawings are for illustration only. Your components might look slightly different.

Checking the Server Air Flow

• Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airflow in and out of the server.
• Do not operate the server without drives or drive carriers 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.

• Use the LEDs to determine the nature of the overheating condition.
• Confirm that the chassis covers are installed properly.
  • Make sure all fans are present and operating normally.
• Check the routing of the cables.
• Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly.

Power Supply

The chassis features redundant power supplies. The system will continue to operate if one module fails. It should be replaced as soon as convenient. The power supply 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.

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

Power Supply LEDs

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

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

Changing the Power Supply Module:

1. Unplug the AC cord from the module to be replaced.
2. On the back of the module, push the release tab sideways, as illustrated.

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

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.

Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image

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

Recovering the BIOS Block with a USB Device

If the BIOS file is corrupted and the system is not able to boot up, you can recover the BIOS image using a USB-attached device. A USB flash drive or a USB CD/DVD ROM drive may be used for this purpose. Note that a USB hard disk drive is not supported.

Recovering the BIOS Block

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

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

1. While the system is turned off, open the chassis and locate the internal USB 3.0 Type-A port on the motherboard. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS binary image, SUPER.ROM..
2. Power on the system.

PS-ONE Phase Start... PSI-System Enter Recovery Node...

1. After the system is turned on, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu. Select "Proceed with flash update" to start the BIOS recovery process. Caution: Do not interrupt this process before it finishes.
