CHAPTER 2

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your RMC 7152 up and running. FOllowing the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processor, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing specific components.

2.2 Unpacking the System

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

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical nose and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the rack and server precations in the next section.

2.2 Preparing for Setup

The RMC 7152 does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package is available if you wish to order from Acnodes. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procdeure outlined in the sections that follow.

2.4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the RMC 7152 into a rack. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.

There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Basic Installation Procedure

You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the RMC 7152. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail brackets. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

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

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure

2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the RMC 7152 in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

Installing the Server Into the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click".

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the RMC 7152 into a Telco type rack, follow the direc- tions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accomodate the width of the telco rack.

2.5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the server in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Removing the Chassis Cover

1. Release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a “click”)

3. Remove the screws from the rear lip of the chassis cover (See figure 2-5)

4. Release the top cover by pushing it away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full acccess to the inside of the server.

Checking the Components

1. You may have processors already installed in the serverboard. Each processor should have its ownheatsink attatched.

2. The RMC 7152 server may have come with the system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots.

3. If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system.

4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the airflow.

2.6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

- For servicing the DVD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.

- The Serial ATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top

chassis cover.

- Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or two Serial ATA drives already installed.

If you need to install Serial ATA drives.

Checking the Airflow

- Airflow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote

sufficient airflow through the small 1U rackmount space.

- Also note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airflow gener-

ated by the fans.

Providing Power

- The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power cord from the power supply unit

into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.

- It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

CHAPTER 3 SYSTEM INTERFACE

3.1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3.2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button and a power on/offbutton.

The reset switch reboots the system

This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps the standby power supplied to the system.

3.3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the RMC 7150 chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continiously (on and not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly. This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

Channel activity for HDDs. This light indicates IDE drive activity when flashing.

Indicates power is being supplied to the system’s power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

CHAPTER 4 SYSTEM SAFETY

4.1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the RMC 7152 damage:

- Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room’s emergency power on/off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

- Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

- Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and floppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the operating system first and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

- AWhen working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar with the power-off controls should be neaerby to switch off the power if necessary.

- Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

- Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.

- The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

- This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also relably connected to Earth.

- Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities. This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

- DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - This server may have come equipped with a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and haardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.

- Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equicalent service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalend as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4.2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

- Keep the area around the RMC 7152 and free of clutter.

- The RMC 7152 weighs approximately 18 lbs. when fullyloaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs.

- Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been removed away from the system or on a table so that they won’t accidentally be stepped on.

- Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

- After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.

4.3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

- Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

- Keep all components and printed circuit baords (PCDs) in their antistatic bag.

- Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are

wearing a wrist strap.

- Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

- When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

- Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.

- For grouding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply,

the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

4.4 Operating Precautions

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when it is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

CHAPTER 5 ADVANCED SERVERBOARD SETUP

This chapter covers the steps required to install the serverboard into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished working with the serverboard to better cool and protect the system.

5.1 Handling the Serverboard

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bend- ing, 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 electric static discharge.

Precautions

- Use a grounded wrist wrap strap designed to prevent ESD.

- Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

- Handle a board by its edges; 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.

Unpacking

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

5.2 Server Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting it into the chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.

Installing to the Chassis

1. Remove the screws from the rear lip of the chassis cover.

2. Release the top cover by pushing it away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

3. Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align properly with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.

4. Carefully mount the serverboard to the serverboard tray by aligning the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible to the chassis.

5. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboard that line up with the standoffs and tighten until snug.

5.3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the board. These include the data 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 to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air that moves through the system from the back. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them.

The following data cables should be connected.

- DVD-ROM cable

- SATA drive cables

- Control Panel cable

Chapter 6

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte- nance on the SC512F-520B 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 step that follows.

Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintainance 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

o Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. o Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag. o Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts. o When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. o Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. o For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power

supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

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.

6-2 Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system control buttons and status indicators. These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path. The LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

6-3 System Fans

Two 10-cm blower fans provide the cooling for the RMC 7152. The chas- sis includes air seals under the blower fans and at the chassis cross section, which separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the chassis to promote better airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis. The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7).

Note: It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airflow to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

System Fan Failure

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).

Replacing System Fans (Figure 6-2)

1. Remove the chassis cover to see which of the two fans have stopped working.

2. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the AC power cord.

3. Uplug the failed fan's cable from the serverboard.

4. Unscrew the failed fan from the chassis and pull it completely out from the serverboard.

5. Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan. Position the new fan in its proper place and secure it to the chassis with the screws you re- moved previously.

6. After the new fan has been installed, plug the fan cable back into the same chassis fan header on the serverboard you removed it from.

7. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the overheat LED on the control panel has turned off.

8. Replace the top panel of the chassis.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.

DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the RMC 7152 by removing the top cover of the chas- sis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fit into the RMC 7152.

SATA Drive Installation

The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Installing a SATA Drive

Serial ATA Power Cables

SATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airflow through the chassis. See the serverboard layout diagram for the location of the cable con- nections.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The DVD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to fit into the RMC 7152.

Installing a DVD-ROM Drive

1. Power down the system and remove the AC power cord.

2. Release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

3. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

4. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

Note: Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays. A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.

4. Push the cover away from you then lift it from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

Replacing the Power Supply

1. To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply and a third from the front of the power supply, which secures it to the bottom of the chassis.

2. Lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power cord should have already been removed.)

3. Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. You must replace it with the exact same power supply.

4. Carefully insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of the unit and the third at the front.

5. Reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack.

6. Finish by turning on the power switch on the power supply, then depress the power button on the front of the system.

Chapter 7 BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter de- scribes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

How To Change the Configuration Data

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. 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: the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing

<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the screen below the copyright message.

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 have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.

7-2 Main Setup

When you first enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter 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.

The options are:

o The Early Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (includ- ing the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered as soon as the CPU temperature reaches the CPU overheat threshold as predefined by the CPU manufacturer. o The Default Alarm: Select this setting if you want the CPU overheat alarm (including the LED and the buzzer) to be triggered when the CPU temperature reaches about 5oC above the threshold temperature as predefined by the CPU manufacturer to give the CPU and system fans additional time needed for CPU and system cooling. In both the alarms above, please take immediate action as shown below.

CPU Temperature/System Temperature This feature displays current temperature readings for the CPU and the System. The following items will be displayed for your reference only:

CPU Temperature The CPU Temperature feature will display the CPU temperature status as detected by the BIOS:

Low - This level is considered as the 'normal' operating state. The CPU temperature is well below the CPU 'Temperature

Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed Control).

User intervention: No action required.

Medium - The processor is running warmer. This is a 'precautionary' level and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition, but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU 'Temperature Tolerance'. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending on the Fan Speed Control settings.

User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.

High - The processor is running hot. This is a 'caution' level since the CPU's 'Tem- perature Tolerance' has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may activate an overheat alarm. The system may shut down if it continues for a long period to prevent damage to the CPU.

User intervention: If the system buzzer and Overheat LED has activated, take action immediately by checking the system fans, chassis ventilation and room temperature to correct any problems.

Notes:

The CPU thermal technology that reports absolute temperatures (Celsius/Fahr- enheit) has been upgraded to a more advanced feature by Intel in its newer processors. The basic concept is each CPU is embedded by unique temperature information that the motherboard can read. This 'Temperature Threshold' or 'Tem- perature Tolerance' has been assigned at the factory and is the baseline on which the motherboard takes action during different CPU temperature conditions (i.e., by increasing CPU Fan speed, triggering the Overheat Alarm, etc). Since CPUs can have different 'Temperature Tolerances', the installed CPU can now send informa- tion to the motherboard what its 'Temperature Tolerance' is, and not the other way around. This results in better CPU thermal management.

Supermicro has leveraged this feature by assigning a temperature status to certain thermal conditions in the processor (Low, Medium and High). This makes it easier for the user to understand the CPU's temperature status, rather than by just simply seeing a temperature reading (i.e., 25oC).

The information provided above is for your reference only. For more information on thermal management, please refer to Intel's Web site at www.Intel.com.
