1-3

Rear I/O Panel

The SC810 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one mother­board expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports
(5013G-6 only), PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two
Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-1.)

Cooling System

The SC810 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes a 10-cm
blower system cooling (intake) fan and one optional 4-cm fan that can be
installed in the midsection of the chassis. The blower fan plugs into a
chassis fan header on the motherboard and operates at full rpm continu­ously. If it breaks down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will
rise and activate an overheat LED.

1-3 Mainboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i lies the P4SGR/P4SGE, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the P4SGR/P4SGE.

Chipset Overview

Intel’s 845GE chipset is made up of two main components:

The Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)

The I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)

Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)

The GMCH includes the host (CPU) interface, memory interface, ICH4 inter­face and 4xAGP interface for the 845GE chipset. It contains advanced
power management logic and supports a single channel of DDR SDRAM.
The AGP 2.0 interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak
bandwidth of 1056 MB.

An external graphics accelerator card is not required due to the integrated
graphics in the 845GE chipset. (If the system BIOS detects an external
AGP device, it will disable the integrated graphics.) The integrated graphics
controller delivers 3D, 2D and video capabilities, including video
conferencing applications. The controller does not utlilize local memory, but
accesses graphics data located in system memory at speeds of up to 2.1
GB/s (DDR-266). It also includes a cache controller to avoid frequent
memory fetches of recently accessed texture data.

I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)

The ICH4 is a fourth-generation I/O Controller Hub subsystem that integrates
many of the input/output functions of the 845GE chipset, including a two­channel ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. The ICH4 also interfaces with
the PCI cards, the AC'97 Audio CODEC and the various communications
ports. Nearly all communications between the GMCH and the ICH4 takes
place over the hub Interface, which is a 66 MHz/266 MB/s bus.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-5

Processors

The P4SGR/P4SGE supports single 478-pin Pentium 4 microPGA processors
at up to 2.8 GHz at a front side (system) bus speed of 533 or 400 MHz.
Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of
supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).

Memory

The P4SGR/P4SGE has two (2) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to
2 GB of non-ECC unbuffered PC2700/2100 (DDR-333/266) low-profile
SDRAM modules. Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may
be used to populate the DIMM slots.

Onboard SCSI (5013G-6 only)

Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra160 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
160 MB/sec for each channel. The P4SGR provides two SCSI ports: one
internal 68-pin LVD Ultra160 connector (on Channel A) and one external/
internal (shared) 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI connector (channel B).

PCI Expansion Slots

The P4SGR/P4SGE has six 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots available. One riser
card is included with the system for use with 32-bit PCI cards.

Network Interface Controllers (NIC)

The P4SGR/P4SGE supports two Gb LAN ports (or Network Interface con­trollers -NIC) based on Intel's 82540EM Ethernet controller chip.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four UDMA/
100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O ports include one COM port,
one parallel port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA
(graphics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G-6/5013G-i system has
come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is
not already fully integrated with a motherboard, 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 SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic
fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power
outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting
screws you will need to install the system into the rack. 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
procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

Choosing a Setup Location

- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open

the front door completely (~25 inches).

- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack

to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Rack Precautions

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

- In a single rack installation, 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 component

from the rack.

- You should extend only one 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 Chapter 4.

- Determine the placement of each component in the rack

before

you

install the rails.

- Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack

first, and then work up.

- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the
server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your
system operating in case of a power failure.

- Allow the power supply units and hot plug SCSI drives (5013G-6) to

cool before touching them.

- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on

the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-4 Installing the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i into

a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5013G-6/
5013G-i into a rack unit. If the5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G­6/5013G-i 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.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an
inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 5013G-6/5013G-i (A) and an
outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). 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.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5013G-6/5013G-i 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.

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

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". Finish by inserting and tightening the
thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

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 a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i into a Telco type
rack, follow the directions 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 Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5013G-6/5013G-i in the rack, you will need to open the
unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connec­tions have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the 5013G-6/5013G-i (Figures 2-5a/2-5b)

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top
of the chassis to release the top cover. There is a large rectangular
recess in the middle front of the top cover to help you 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.

2. Check the CPU (processor)

You should have one processor already installed into the system
board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See
Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 5013G-6/5013G-i server system may have come with system
memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their
slots. For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

4. Installing add-on cards

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

5. Check all cable connections and airflow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under
the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the
drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis.

Note: Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives and SCA backplane (5013G-6 only) or IDE drives (5013G-i only)
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing
the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front
of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives

Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI disk drives (5013G-6)

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives,
please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the IDE disk drives (5013G-i)

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two IDE hard drives already installed. If you need to install an IDE hard
drive, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

5. Check the airflow

Airflow is provided by a 10-cm input fan and one (optional) 4-cm cooling
fan. 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 generated by the fans.

6. Supplying power to the system

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).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI
drive carriers and the motherboard 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 and
an on/off switch on the power supply. 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-button buttons located on the front of the chassis.
These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off
button.

l RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.

l POWER: 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 standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC810 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.

l OVERHEAT: Indicates an overheat condition in the chassis. This may
be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system, or the ambient
room temperature being too warm. You should also check to make sure
that the chassis cover is installed and that all fans are present and operat­ing normally. Finally, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are
located under the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that
separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis.

l NIC2: Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

l NIC1: Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

l HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 5013G-6/

5013G-i, this light indicates CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.
