1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6025W-UR lies the X7DWU, a dual processor

serverboard based on the Intel 5400 chipset and designed to provide maximum

performance. Below are the main features of the X7DWU. (See Figure 1-1 for a

block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X7DWU supports single or dual 771-pin Intel Xeon 5400/5300LV/5200/5100LV

series processors at a FSB speed of 1600/1333/1066 MHz. Please refer to the

serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported

processors.

Memory

The X7DWU has eight 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 64 GB of

ECC FBD (Fully Buffered DIMM) DDR2-800/667/533 SDRAM. The memory is an

interleaved confi guration, which requires modules of the same size and speed to

be installed in pairs. Please refer to Chapter 5 for memory speed jumper settings.

UIO

The X7DWU is a specially-designed serverboard that features Supermicro's UIO

(Universal I/O) technology. UIO serverboards have a PCI-Express x8 connector

that can support any one of several types of UIO card types to add SAS ports,

additional LAN ports, etc. to the serverboard. This allows the user to tailor the

serverboard to their own needs. Note: the 6025W-UR does not come with a UIO

card installed.

Serial ATA

An on-chip (ESB2) SATA controller is integrated into the X7DWU to provide a six-

port, 3 Gb/sec Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 10 and (Windows only)

5 supported. The Serial ATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: You must have RAID set up to enable the hot-swap capability of the Serial

ATA drives. See www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ for RAID Setup guides.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

One fl oppy drive controller and one onboard ATA/100 controller are provided to

support up to two IDE hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded I/O ports

separate power modules. This power redundancy feature allows you to replace a

failed power supply without shutting down the system.

Serial ATA Subsystem

The SC825TQ-R700U supports up to eight 3 Gb/s Serial ATA drives. The Serial

ATA drives are hot-swappable units and are connected to a backplane that provides

power and control.

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

swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

When confi gured as a 6025W-UR server, the SC825TQ-R700U suppports expan-

sion cards on both the left and right sides of the chassis:

Left side: UIO card and three PCI-Express x8 cards (with RSC-R2UU-UA3E8 riser

card.)

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6025W-UR

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 processors 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 6025W-UR 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 6025W-

UR. 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 6025W-UR 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.

Choosing a Setup Location

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

•

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back

of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for

2-1

S

UPERSERVER 6025W-UR User's Manual

installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,

service closets and the like).

This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

•

acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display

Units.

!

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 si-

multaneously 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 SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

•

ing them.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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

•

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

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

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

room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an

environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera-

ture (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 consideration 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 connec-

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

strips, etc.).

UPERSERVER 6025W-UR User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6025W-UR into a

rack unit. If the 6025W-UR 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 system

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 a total of six rack rail sections with the SuperServer

6025W-UR. Two of these sections secure directly to the 6025W-UR and the third

(which actually consists of two joined sections) secures directly to the rack itself.

All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in

the hardware kit.

Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the

chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two

is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the 6025W-UR

making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c.

Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the side of the chassis

(see Figure 2-1, step 1). There should be two screws for each side. Repeat this

procedure for the other rail on the opposite side of the chassis. Then attach the two

rear chassis rails to the chassis in the same manner, again keeping in mind that

the rails are left/right specifi c. (You will also need to attach the rail brackets when

installng into a telco rack.)

Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, 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 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.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Figure 2-1. Installing Chassis Rails

2-5

S

UPERSERVER 6025W-UR User's Manual

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6025W-UR in the rack. (See

Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail

guide assemblies (made up of two inter-locking sections) at the desired location in

the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack and the rollers

toward the front of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack. 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 facing inward.

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 2-2.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the

locking tabs "click".

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6025W-UR 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.

Accessing the inside of the System

First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it

1.

locks (you will hear a "click").

Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top

2.

cover. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to

the inside of the server. See Figure 2-3.

Checking the Components

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

processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and

heatsink installation.

Your 6025W-UR server system may have come with system memory already

1.

installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on

adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

UPERSERVER 6025W-UR User's Manual

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

2.

details on installing PCI add-on cards.

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

3.

the chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of

the fans. 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 have been properly

installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

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

1.

ROM and fl oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The

SAS/SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the

chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

A slim DVD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter

2.

6 if you need to install an optional slim fl oppy disk drive to the system.

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

3.

more hard drives already installed. If you need to install SAS/SATA drives,

please refer to Chapter 6.

Checking the Airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by three 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. An air shroud

1.

is also included in the system to maximize airfl ow. The system component

layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-

nents that generate the most heat.

Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they

2.

do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

Providing Power

Plug the power cords from the power supply modules into a high-quality

1.

power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.

It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive carri-

ers 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 buttons on the

chassis control panel.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

The two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis are a reset button and a

power on/off button.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

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.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several 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.

Power Fail

Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will

take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be

replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing the power supply. This LED

should be off when the system is operating normally.

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED fl ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously 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 indicated condition exists.

NIC1

Indicates network activity on the LAN1 port when fl ashing.

2

NIC2

Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when fl ashing.

Chapter 3: System Interface

HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6025W-UR, this LED indicates

SAS/SATA and/or DVD-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 Drive Carrier LEDs

SAS/SATA Drives

Green: Each drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED

•

(on the front of the drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the

SAS/SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular

drive is being accessed. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing

failed SAS/SATA drives.

•

Red: The red LED to indicate a drive failure. If one of the SAS/SATA drives fail,

you should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to

Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SuperServer 6025W-UR from damage:

Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well

•

as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical

outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from

the system.

Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

•

Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-

•

stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules

and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the

system with the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords of all

the power supply units in the system.

When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar

•

with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces-

sary.

Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

•

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use

extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical

components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection

•

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally

designed as electrical insulators.

The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be

•

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

SUPERSERVER 6025W-UR User's Manual

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

•

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure

4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

•

CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-

ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radia-

tion exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional

way.

•

Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service

technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one

replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

!

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the 6025W-UR clean and free of clutter.

•

The 6025W-UR weighs approximately 57 lbs (25.9 kg.) when fully loaded.

•

When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their

feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift

with your legs.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-

•

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be

stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

•

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or

be pulled into a cooling fan.

Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

•

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact

with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
