Introduction
1-1 Overview
This user’s manual covers the MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module. This
MicroBlade module is a compact self-contained server that connects into a pre-cabled
enclosure that provides power, cooling, management and networking functions. One
enclosure for the MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module can hold twenty-eight blade
units. The only difference between the MBI-6418A-T5H and the MBI-6418A-T7H is the
processor. The MBI-6418A-T5H uses the Atom™ C2550 processor, while the
MBI-6418A-T7H uses the Atom C2750 processor instead.
In this manual, “blade system” refers to the entire system (including the enclosure and
blades units), “blade”, “MicroBlade” or “blade unit” refers to a single MicroBlade module
and “blade enclosure” is the chassis that the MicroBlades, power supplies and
MicroBlade modules are housed within.
Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been
certified for use with the MicroBlade (http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/
microblade.cfm).

Chapter 1: Introduction
Storage
Each node in the MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module has one 2.5" SATA3 HDD/
SSD internally mounted and one SATA-DOM drive that it can also use for storage or for
installation of the node’s operating system. See Chapter 3: " Setup and Installation" on
page 3-1 for storage installation details.
RAID
The MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module has only one hard drive assigned per
node, so no RAID array is possible.
Density
A maximum of twenty-eight blade modules may be installed into a single blade
enclosure. Each blade enclosure is a 6U form factor, so a standard 42U rack may
accommodate up to seven enclosures with 196 blade modules, each with four nodes or
the equivalent of 784 1U servers. With the inclusion of up to fourteen CMM modules and
up to twenty-eight Gigabit Ethernet switches this would occupy up to 826U space in a
conventional 1U server configuration.

3-1
MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade Module User’s Manual
Removing a MicroBlade Module Unit from the Enclosure
Although the MicroBlade module system may continue to run, individual MicroBlade
modules should always be powered down before removing them from the enclosure.
Removing a MicroBlade Module Unit from the Enclosure
1. Power down the MicroBlade module unit (see "Powering Down a MicroBlade

2. Squeeze both handles to depress the red sections then pull out both handles
completely and use them to pull the MicroBlade module unit from the enclosure.
Note: MicroBlade modules can be hot-plugged from the enclosure.
Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover
The MicroBlade module cover must be removed to access the serverboard when you
need to install or remove processors, memory units, the onboard battery and so on.
Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover
1. Remove the MicroBlade module unit from the enclosure (see "Removing a
MicroBlade Module Unit from the Enclosure" above).
2. Depress the two buttons on the cover while pushing the cover toward the rear of the
MicroBlade module unit. When it stops, lift the cover off the MicroBlade module unit.
Installing a Blade Unit into the Enclosure
Make sure the cover of the MicroBlade module unit has been replaced first before
installing a MicroBlade module unit in the enclosure.
Installing a MicroBlade Module Unit into the Enclosure
1. Slowly push the MicroBlade module unit into its bay with the handles fully pulled out
(see Figure 3-1).
2. When the MicroBlade module stops, push the handles back in to their locked
position, making sure the notches in both handles catch the lip of the enclosure.
Note: MicroBlade modules can be Hot-Plugged into the enclosure.
Caution: Use extreme caution when inserting a MicroBlade module into the
enclosure. If the MicroBlade module's power connector becomes damaged, it can damage
pins on other MicroBlade module bays that it is inserted into.

3-3 Onboard Battery Installation
A battery is included on the serverboard to supply certain volatile memory components
with power when power has been removed from the MicroBlade module. If this battery
dies, it must be replaced with an equivalent CR2032 Lithium 3V battery. Dispose of used
batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. See Figure 3-2 for a diagram of
installing a new onboard battery.
Caution: There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down,
which reverses its polarities.

MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade Module User’s Manual
3-4 Memory Installation
The serverboard of each MicroBlade module unit must be populated with DIMMs (Dual
In-line Memory Modules) to provide system memory. The DIMMs should all be of the
same size and speed and from the same Super Micro authorized manufacturer
due to compatibility issues. See details below on supported memory and our web site
(www.superblade.com/products/microblade for recommended memory.
Populating Memory Slots
The mainboard of a MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module has two (2) memory slots
for each processor of a node, four nodes total for a total of 8 memory slots per
MicroBlade module. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so
you may populate any number of DIMM slots.
Each of the four nodes has its own memory bank. Populate Channel A first, the Channel
B. In this example, Channel A of Node 1 is designated as P1-DIMMA1 and Channel B is
P1-DIMMB1. Be sure to populate the sockets with SODIMM memory with the same
speed.
For an interleaved configuration, memory modules of the same size and speed
must be installed in pairs. You should not mix DIMMs of different sizes and
speeds.
Note: Check the Supermicro website for a list of memory modules that have been
validated with the B1SA4-2750F/B1SA4-2550F motherboard.
Note: Though multiple DIMM memory module types and speeds may be supported, you
need to use DIMM memory modules of the same speed and type.
Note: For an optimized memory bandwidth, it is recommended that you populate the
memory modules in a set of two (2) DIMMs for the CPU.
Memory Support
Each node on the B1SA4-2750F/B1SA4-2550F motherboard supports up to 32GB and
up to 1600MHz of ECC DDR3 SODIMM memory in two SODIMM slots (see Figure 3-3).

3-5 Hard Disk Drive Installation
A single SATA3 HDD/SSD can be installed in the MicroBlade module for each node
(four nodes/drives total) and cannot be removed or replaced without powering down the
blade unit they reside in. A blade module needs a hard disk drive with an operating
system installed to operate.
3-6 Installing the Operating System
An operating system (OS) must be installed on each MicroBlade module. Blades with
Microsoft Windows OS and blades with Linux OS can both occupy and operate within
the same blade enclosure. Refer to the SuperMicro web site for a complete list of
supported operating systems.
There are several methods of installing an OS to the blade modules.
Installing with a SATA-DOM Module
The MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module contains a SATA-DOM socket for each
node on the serverboard. The operating system can be installed separately onto the
SATA-DOM module, which when plugged into the SATA-DOM socket of a node of the
MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module, can be used as the system’s operating
system just as if it was a hard disk drive of the system.

2. A PXE server has been configured (this can be another blade in the system).
3. The PXE server must be connected over a network to the blade to be booted.
4. The blade has only non-partitioned/unformatted hard drives installed and no
bootable devices attached to it.
Once these conditions are met, make sure the PXE server is running. Then turn on the
blade on which you wish to boot and/or install the OS. The BIOS in the blade will look at
all bootable devices and finding none will connect to the PXE server to begin the boot/

Chapter 5
BIOS
5-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the BIOS for the MBI-6418A-T5H/T7H MicroBlade module. This
MicroBlade module uses a 32 MB SPI Flash EEPROM with AMI® BIOS™ that is stored
in a flash chip. This BIOS can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based 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 http://
www.supermicro.com/products/microblade/module/ web site for further details on BIOS
setup and the BIOS menus for your MicroBlade module.
System BIOS
BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. The 32 MB SPI Flash EEPROM with AMI®
BIOS BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, types of disk drives, video
displays, in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When
the blade unit is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip,
enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the blade is powered on it is
configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains
control at boot up.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the
<D
ELETE> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See "Starting the Setup
Utility" below.)
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power-On Self-Test) routine is the memory test. As the
memory is being tested, press the <D
Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the
Security and Power menus.
Caution: To prevent possible boot failure, do not shut down or reset the system while
updating the BIOS.

5-2 BIOS Updates
It may be necessary to update the BIOS used in the blade modules on occasion.
However, it is recommended that you not update BIOS if you are not experiencing
problems with a blade module.
Updated BIOS files are located on our web site (http://www.supermicro.com/products/
microblade). Please check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than
your current BIOS before downloading.
There are several methods you may use to upgrade (flash) your BIOS. After
downloading the appropriate BIOS file (in a zip file format), follow one of the methods
described below to flash the new BIOS.
Flashing BIOS
Use the procedures below to “Flash” your BIOS with a new update using the USB ports
on the CMM module or by use of a Floppy Image file.
Flashing a BIOS using the USB Ports on the CMM:
1. Copy the contents of the zip file to a bootable USB pen drive.
2. Connect your bootable USB pen drive to one of the two USB slots on the CMM
(located on the back side of the enclosure).
3. Boot to the USB pen drive and go to the directory where you saved the contents of
the zip file.
4. Type flash filename.rom (replace filename.rom by the actual ROM file name).
Flashing a BIOS using a Floppy Image File
This method must be performed remotely.
1. Copy the image file from the zip file to your desktop.
2. Use the web browser or IPMIView to access your CMM remotely using its IP
Address.
3. Go to the V
4. BROWSE or OPEN to locate the *.img file on your desktop and select it.

AMI UEFI BIOS POST Codes
A status code is a data value used to indicate progress during the boot phase. A subset
of these status codes, known commonly as checkpoints, indicate common phases of the
BIOS boot process.
Checkpoints are typically output to I/O port 80h, but Aptio 4.x core can be configured to
send status codes to a variety of sources. Aptio 4.x core outputs checkpoints throughout
the boot process to indicate the task the system is currently executing. Checkpoints are
very useful in aiding software developers or technicians in debugging problems that
occur during the pre-boot process.
