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 3 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

• Caution: The assembled system may weigh over 200 lbs. When moving it, remove the GPU tray to reduce weight, and use a lift and multiple people.
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix A.
• 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 28" and 33.5" deep. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack.

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 a Rack

1. Identify the left rail and right rail, as they are different.

Left Right

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Left and Right Rail

1. Position the template at the front of the rack to determine the locations of the screws for the rails.

Template

Figure 2-2. Placing Template in Rack

1. In each rail set, the two sections are screwed together to keep them immobile during shipping. Release these screws just enough to allow the rail sections to slide apart. Note the arrow on the rail, which indicates the end that attaches to the front of the rack.
2. Slide the rails sections apart to match the depth of the rack. Position the rails with the template and secure the front of each to the front of the rack with two flathead screws, then secure the back of each rail to the rear of the rack with two flathead screws (see Figure 2-3).

Technical diagram showing mechanical assembly with labeled components and directional arrows indicating motion or assembly.

Figure 2-3. Sliding the Rail to the Depth of the Rack

2.4 Installing the Server

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

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

Caution: The assembled system may weigh over 200 lbs. Use a lift and multiple people to move it. Remove the GPU tray before installing into the rack to reduce the weight of the system.

1. If you want to install the optional chassis handles, use screws including a thumbscrew, through the bottom hole of each handle. Note: These handles need only be installed when mounting the system into a short rack. When mounting into a deep rack, they are unnecessary and regular screws should be used instead of thumbscrews.

2. Using a lift and as many people as necessary, lift the system and slide it onto the installed rails.

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan.

Important:

• For the Processor/Heatsink installation you need to use a T20 screwdriver when opening/closing the CPU socket.
• Always connect the power cord last, and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an AMD-certified multi-directional heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the CPU heatsink.
• 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

1. Unscrew 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.

Screw #3 Screw #2 Force Frame Screw #1

1. Lift the Rail Frame up by gripping the lift tabs near the front end of the rail frame. While keeping a secure grip of the Rail Frame, lift it to a position so you can do the next step of removing the External Cap.

2. Note: The Rail Frame is spring loaded, so keep a secure grip on it as you lift it so it does not snap up.

PnP Cover Cap Rail Frame

1. Remove the External Cap from the Rail Frame by pulling it upwards through the rail guides on the Rail Frame.

External Cap PnP Cover Cap

1. The CPU Package is shipped from the factory with the Carrier Frame pre-assembled. Grip the handle of the Carrier Frame/CPU Package assembly from its shipping tray, and while gripping the handle, align the flanges of the Carrier Frame onto the rails of the Rail Frame so its pins will be at the bottom when the Rail Frame is lowered later.

2. Slide the Carrier Frame/CPU Package downwards to the bottom of the Rail Frame. Ensure the flanges are secure on the rails as you lower it downwards.

Carrier Frame/ CPU Package

Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the Rail Frame plate. If it doesn't close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the Rail Frame plate again, and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.

1. Lift up the Rail Frame till it securely rests in upright position. Then remove the PnP Cover Cap from the CPU socket below. Grip the two lift tabs marked "Remove" at the middle of the cap and pull vertically upwards to remove the PnP Cover Cap.

PnP Cover Cap Rail Frame

Warning! The exposed socket contacts are extremely vulnerable and can be damaged easily. Do not touch or drop objects onto the contacts and be careful removing the PnP Cover Cap and when placing the Rail Frame over the socket.

1. Gently lower the Rail Frame down onto the socket until the latches on the Rail Frame engage with the Socket housing. and it rests in place. DO NOT force it into place!

SATA Ports

The H12DGO-6 supports four SATA 3.0 ports through CN9 port and HDD backplane board BPN-NVMe4-F418-B6S6 with a specific cable.

NVM Express Connections

Two NVM Express ports are located on the serverboard (from CPU2). These ports provide high-speed, low-latency PCIe 4.0 x4 connections directly from the CPU to NVMe Solid State Drives (SSD). This greatly increases SSD data-throughput performance and significantly reduces PCIe latency by simplifying driver/software requirements resulted from direct PCIe interface from the CPU to the NVMe SSD drives.

4.3 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.

UEFI BIOS

6.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS ^™ setup utility for the H12DGO-6 motherboard. The BIOS is stored on a chip and can be easily upgraded using a flash program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual Download area of our website for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS setup utility, press the key while the system is booting-up. (In most cases, the key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as , , etc.) Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual.

The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. "Grayed-out" options cannot be configured. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A "▶" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the key will open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys (, , , , , , keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.

6.2 Main Setup

When you first enter the AMI BIOS setup utility, you will see the Main setup screen. You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen. The Main BIOS setup screen is shown below.
