1-3 Mainboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6022P-6 lies the P4DP6, a dual Xeon pro­cessor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are
the main features of the P4DP6.

Chipset

The P4DP6 is based on Intel's E7500 ("Plumas") chipset, which is a high­performance core logic chipset designed for dual-processor servers.

The E7500 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Control­ler Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0
(P64H2) and the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).

The MCH has four hub interfaces, one to communicate with the ICH3 and
three for high-speed I/O communications. The MCH employs a 144-bit wide
memory bus for a DDR-200 memory interface, which provides a total band­width of 3.2 GB/s. The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB/sec point-to-point con­nection using an 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate.
The P64H2 interface is a 1 GB/s point-to-point connection using a 16-bit
wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 8x data transfer rate.

The ICH3 I/O Controller Hub provides various integrated functions, including
a two-channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller, USB host controllers, an
integrated LAN controller, a System Management Bus controller and an
AC'97 compliant interface.

Each of the three P64H2 PCI-X Hubs provides a 16-bit connection to the
MCH for high-performance IO capability and two 64-bit PCI-X interfaces.

Processors

The P4DP6 supports single or dual Xeon 512k L2 cache processors of up to

2.20 GHz+ with a 400 MHz FSB. Please refer to the support section of our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://
www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).

registered ECC PC1600 DDR SDRAM. Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512
MB, 1 GB and 2 GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. (PC2100 is
also supported, but only at a speed of 200 MHz.)

Onboard SCSI

Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899W SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra160 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
160 MB/sec. The P4DP6 provides two SCSI ports.

PCI Expansion Slots

The P4DP6 has two 64-bit 133 MHz, one 64-bit 100 MHz and three 64-bit, 66
MHz PCI-X slots. Jumpers are included on the motherboard to change the
speeds of these slots if required (see Chapter 5).

ATI Graphics Controller

The P4DP6 includes an integrated ATI video controller based on the Rage XL
graphics chip. 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.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6022P-6 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 6022P-6 system has come
to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not
already fully integrated with a motherboard, processors, 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 6022P-6

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6022P-6 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
6022P-6. 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 6022P-6 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 6022P-6 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 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 hot plug SCSI drives and power supply units 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 6022P-6 into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6022P-6 into
a rack unit. If the 6022P-6 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 6022P-6 into a rack with the
rack rails provided. 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
6022P-6. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner
fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6022P-6 (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.

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

2-4

SUPERSERVER 6022P-6 Manual

Installing the Chassis Rails:

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 6022P-6 making sure the 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 installng
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 6022P-6 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 assem-

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 chassis. 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.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack:

If you are installing the SuperServer 6022P-6 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 6022P-6 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 6022P-6 (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
system board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached.
See Section 5-5 for instructions on processor installation.

3. Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting:

If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you will need to set the
correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the CPU Clock Ratio
setting in BIOS (Chapter 7) for setting the core/bus ratio.

4. Check the system memory:

Your 6022P-6 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 Section 5-6.

5. Installing add-on cards:

If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Section 5-7
for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

6. Check all cable connections and airflow:

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the chassis airflow. See Section 5-3 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.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives and SCA backplane 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. The 5.25" drive
bay cover can be removed by pressing the tab on the corner of the drive
bay and then pushing the bay outward from the inside.

2. Installing components into the 5.25" drive bay:

Remove the drive bay cover by pressing the tab as decribed in the
previous step. Remove the drive bay rails as shown in Figure 2-6.
Install the rails onto the new component and then slide the assembly into
the drive bay until you hear a clicking sound.

3. Installing CD-ROM and floppy disk drives:

Refer to Section 6-4 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

4. Check the SCSI disk drives:

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please
refer to Section 6-4.

5. Check the airflow:

Airflow is provided by four 8-cm redundant cooling fans. The system
component layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow
through the 2U 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.

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: Use the reset button to reboot the system.

l POWER: This is the main power button, 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.
(See also the power supply on/off switch in Section 3-5.)

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC822S-400LP 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. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Section 5­5 and Figure 5-4). 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 6022P-6,

this LED indicates CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

l 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 SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs

A SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.

l Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SCSI drive

carrier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SCSI SCA backplane
enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being
accessed.

l Red: A SAF-TE compliant backplane is needed to activate the red
LED, which indicates a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane
is standard on the 6022P-6.) If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be
notified by your system management software. Please refer to Section 6­4 for instructions on replacing failed SCSI drives.

3-5 Motherboard LEDs

There are two primary LEDs on the motherboard. An LED indicating SCSI
activity is located just beside the AIC-7899 SCSI controller chip. Also, a
power LED is located near the secondary power connector (J15). When
illuminated, it indicates that system power is present on the motherboard.
