Desktop Setup

2.1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 5130AD-T up and running. Following
these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a
minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with
the motherboard preinstalled.

2.2 Unpacking the System

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

Decide on a suitable location for the system. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area
that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are
generated. You will also need it plugged into a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the
Warnings and Precautions in the next section.

2.3 Warnings and Precautions!

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the system from power surges,

voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

• Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.

Workstations Precautions

• Ensure that the caster wheels on the desktop are locked.

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the desktop from power

surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

• Allow the power supply units and hot-swap SATA drives to cool before touching them.

• To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed and all SATA carriers

installed when not being serviced.

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 specifi cations and/or part
numbers given.

Installation or replacement of most components require that power fi rst 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).

3.3 Motherboard Components

Processor and Heatsink Installation

Follow the procedures in this section to install a processor (CPU) and heatsink to the
motherboard.

Notes:

• The motherboard should be installed into the chassis fi rst 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 an Intel-certifi ed 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.

Warning: Do not drop the CPU on the socket. Do not move the CPU horizontally or vertically.
Do not rub the CPU against the surface or against any pins of the socket in order to avoid
damaging the CPU or the socket.

5. With the CPU inside the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that
the CPU is properly installed.

6. Use your thumb to gently push the load lever down to the lever lock.

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

Installing a Heatsink

The use of active type heatsinks are recommended (except in 1U systems). To install a third­party heatsink, please follow the installation instructions included with the heatsink package.

Installing an Active CPU Heatsink with Fan

1. Locate the CPU Fan power connector on the motherboard. (Refer to the layout on the
right for the CPU Fan location.)

2. Position the heatsink so that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan power
connector and are not interfered with other components.

3. Inspect the CPU Fan wires to make sure that the wires are routed through the bottom of
the heatsink.

4. Remove the thin layer of the protective fi lm from the heatsink.

Attention! CPU overheating may occur if the protective fi lm is not removed from the heatsink.

5. Apply the proper amount of thermal grease on the CPU.

Note: If your heatsink came with a thermal pad, please ignore this step.

Memory Installation

Memory Support

The C7Z270-PG supports up to 64 GB of unbuffered, non-ECC, 3600 MHz (OC) DDR4
memory in four (4) memory slots. Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory
modules of the same size and type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster
than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.

Check the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support.

Installing Memory

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with DIMMA1 (see
the next page for the location). For the system to work properly, please use the memory
modules of the same type and speed in the same motherboard.

Towards the edge of the motherboard

The C7Z270-PG supports up to 64 GB of Unbuffered (UDIMM) non-ECC DDR4 memory, up
to 3600 MHz (OC) in four 288-pin memor y slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a pair
of memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which
will improve memory performanc e.

Notes:

Be sure to use memory modules of the same type, same speed, same frequency on the
same motherboard. Mixing of memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.

Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that remains available
for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used. The reduction in memory
availability is disproportional. See the following table for details.

For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in the Windows XP with
Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specifi c to the behavior of Physical
Address Extension (PAE) mode which improves driver compatibility. For more information,
please read the following article at

Microsoft’s Knowledge Base website at:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888137.

Memory Population Guidelines

When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order:
DIMMA1, DIMMB1, then DIMMA2, DIMMB2. Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same
size, type and speed. Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at
the speed of the slowest DIMM.

27

System 5130AD-T User's Manual

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 landfi ll. Please comply with the regulations set up by your local
hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

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).
