1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6014H-T lies the X6DHR-TG a dual Xeon pro-

cessor serverboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the

main features of the X6DHR-TG. See Figure 1-1 for a system block diagram of

the chipset.

Processors

The X6DHR-TG supports single or dual 604-pin Intel Xeon processors of up to

3.60 GHz at an 800 MHz FSB. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing

of supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X6DHR-TG has eight 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 32 GB of

DDR266 or up to 16 GB of DDR333 SDRAM. (This serverboard has been de-

signed to support 2GB DIMM modules for each memory slot, but it has only been

validated with 1GB memory modules.) The dual-channel memory bus requires

memory modules to be installed two at a time.

Serial ATA

A Marvell SATA controller is integrated into the X6DHR-TG to provide a four-port

Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported. The ICH5R South

Bridge of the chipset also includes a Serial ATA controller that supports two

SATA ports (RAID 0 and 1 supported). The Serial ATA drives are hot-swappable

units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-

swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

Two riser cards have been included with the server to support server PCI expan-

sion. The CSE-RR1U-X riser fi ts into the 133 MHz PCI-X slot on the X6DHR-TG

to support a standard size (full-height, full-length) PCI-X add-on card (any speed).

The CSE-RR1U-XLP fi ts into the 100 MHz PCI-X slot to support one low profi le

(half-height, half-length) PCI-X add-on card (of either 100 or 66 MHz).

onboard the X6DHR-TG. Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and AGP

texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 512

MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The X6DHR-TG provides one fl oppy drive controller and two onboard IDE control-

lers, which support up to four hard drives or ATAPI devices. Backpanel I/O ports

include one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and a

video (monitor) port. An Intel 82546GB Ethernet controller is also included to

support two Gb LAN ports.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SC813T-500 is one of Supermicro's third-generation 1U chassis and features

four hot-swap Serial ATA drive bays, a slim CD-ROM drive, a slim 3.5" fl oppy drive

and a revolutionary cooling design that can keep today's most powerful processors

running well below their temperature thresholds. The following is a general outline

of the main features of the SC813T-500 chassis.

System Power

The SC813T-500 chassis includes a single 500W cold-swap power supply.

Serial ATA Subsystem

For the 6014H-T, the SC813T-500 chassis was designed to support four Serial

ATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-

swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.

Control Panel

The SC813T-500 control panel provides important system monitoring and control

information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity

and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power button and a

system reset button.

I/O Backplane

The SC813T-500 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides one full-

height full-length and one half-height half-length slots for PCI add-on cards, one

COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and

keyboard ports and two Ethernet (LAN) ports. (See Figure 1-2.)

Cooling System

The SC813T-500 chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to pro-

vide suffi cient cooling for dual Xeon confi gurations. The SC813T-500 includes two

heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located in the middle of the chassis. In the event of

a fan failure, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will rise and activate

an overheat LED (fan speed is controlled by the system temperature).

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014H-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 SuperServer 6014H-T system has come to you with the proces-

sors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a

serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section

noted in each step for details on installing specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6014H-T was shipped in and note if

it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a

damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 6014H-

T. 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 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 6014H-T 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 minimum amount of time. Please read this section

in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections

that follow.

2-1

S

UPERSERVER 6014H-T 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 suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.

Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the

fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In 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 simul-

taneously 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 fi rst, 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 hot plug Serial ATA drives and power supply units to cool before touch-

ing them.

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

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tem-

perature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature

of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip-

ment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated

ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airfl ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow 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 consid-

eration 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 con-

nections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of

power strips, etc.).

UPERSERVER 6014H-T Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6014H-T into a

rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6014H-T 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the

rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rails

You should have received a rack mounting kit with the SuperServer 6014H-T. The

kit includes two sets of chassis rails (four pieces total, two of which are already

installed on the chassis) and two sets of rack rails (four pieces total). Figure 2-1

displays the two right-side chassis rails and the two right-side rack rails. Note

that two of the four chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) are already attached to the

chassis.

Installing the Rack Rails

Begin by joining one set of rack rails corresponding to either the left or the right side

of the rack. Do this by aligning the studs of one rail with the holes of the other rail.

Push the studs into the grooved holes and then push the rail to slide the studs to

the end of the groove. Repeat this with the rack rails used for the other side.

Next, determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6014H-T in the rack.

(See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the assembled rack

rails at the desired location in 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 both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides fac-

ing inward.

Locking Tabs: Both of the two chassis rails on each side have a locking tab (four

total), which serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when

installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal operating position.

Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when extended from the rack.

This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it

out for servicing. The two sets of locking tabs mean there are two locked positions

when the chassis is extended from the rack, allowing easy access when servicing

the system. Note that on one side, you push the locking tab up to release it and

on the other side you push it down to release.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis Rails

Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached

- one to each side of the chassis. Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis

Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided. Chassis Rail 2 should

be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2). Do this for both sides

of the chassis.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rails

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

2-5

S

UPERSERVER 6014H-T Manual

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 lock-

ing 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 thumb screws that hold

the front of the server to the rack.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

2-6

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6014H-T 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 accommodate the width of

the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6014H-T 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.

1. Accessing the inside of the 6014H-T (see Figure 2-5)

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 CPUs (processors)

You should have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.

Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on pro-

cessor and heatsink installation.

3. CPU Speed

The CPU speed should automatically be detected so you will not need to change

any jumpers or settings in the BIOS Setup utility.

4. Check the system memory

Your 6014H-T 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.

5. Installing add-on cards

If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details

on installing PCI add-on cards.

6. Check all cable connections and airfl ow

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking

the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives

have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM

and fl oppy 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 or powering down the system.

2. CD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives

A slim CD-ROM and a fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer

to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the

system.

3. Check the SATA disk drives

Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or

more drives already installed. If you need to install Serial ATA drives, please

refer to Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans. The system compo-

nent layout was carefully designed to direct the airfl ow to the components that

generate the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed

in such a way that they do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

5. Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide power to the system. Plug the power

cord from the power supply module 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). Finish by depressing the power

button on the front of the chassis to start the system.

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the Serial ATA

drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system

as well as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are also two but-

tons 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-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.

 Reset:

 Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the

power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button

removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Use the reset switch to reboot the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of th SC813T-500 chassis has fi ve 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 fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When

on continuously (on and not fl ashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which

may be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow 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 (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as

the overheat condition exists.

 NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when fl ashing.

Chapter 3: System Interface

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6014H-T this

light indicates SATA and/or CD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.

 Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply

units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 Serial ATA Drive Carrier LED

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED

(on the front of the Serial ATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connec-

tion to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that

particular drive is being accessed.

Note: The second LED on the SATA carriers is not used.
