1-5 SBB: Storage Bridge Bay
The 6036ST-6LR Super SBB was designed to function as a fully redundant, faulttolerant "cluster-in-a-box" system. The standard support for 16 3.5" hot-swap HDDs
(SAS1, SAS2 or Enterprise SATA) may be expanded to support an additional 16
HDDs with the optional SBB JBOD SYS-937R-E2JB confi guration.
The Super SBB provides hot-swappable canisters for all active components. Each
of the two serverboard canisters support dual-processors, 6 DIMM slots, 3 PCI-E
Gen2 slots and 6 Gbps SAS (SAS2). With dual 10GbE connections between the
serverboards via the midplane, if one serverboard fails, the other serverboard is
able to take over control and access the HDDs to keep the system up and running
(both controllers can also work in active mode). Storage software used to enable
this feature is available from several Supermicro partners.
Equipped with 1200W (Gold Level) high-effi ciency redundant power supplies and
redundant cooling fans, the 6026ST-6LR is a high-available, high-reliability storage
system at a competitive price.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6036ST-6LR
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 6036ST-6LR 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 6036ST6LR. 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 6036ST-6LR 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.
2-1
SUPERSERVER 6036ST-6LR User's Manual
• This product is for 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.
2-4 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 any hot plug drives and power supply modules 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.
2-2
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature 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 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 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 connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis and lift the cover off the unit.
Checking the Components and Setup
1. You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heat sink installation.
2. Your 6036ST-6LR 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.
3. If desired, you can install PCI expansion cards to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing PCI expansion cards.
4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
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.
Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the server without the
cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airfl ow and prevent
overheating.

2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1. The hard drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis
without removing the top chassis cover.
2. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
1. Airfl ow is provided by 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-
nents that generate the most heat. See Chapter 6 for details.
2. 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.
Providing Power
1. Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) 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).
2. Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on two control panels as well as others on the 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. A main power button is also located on
the right side (only) control panel.
3-2 Control Panel Button
Power
The single button located on the right control panel is the power on/off button.
Depressing this button will either power both nodes on or off.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 two control panels located on the front of the chassis have several LEDs. With
the exception of the power fail LED, these LEDs provide you with critical information
related to the node on the same side of the chassis. 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.

Chapter 3: System Interface
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
Each drive carrier has two LEDs:
• Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates the drive
is powered on. If this LED is not lit, it means no power is being provided for the
drive. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.
• Red: A steady red LED indicates a drive failure. If one of the drives fails, you
should be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter
6 for instructions on replacing failed drives. If this LED fl ashes ~ once per second
(1 Hz) it indicates RAID rebuilding activity.
