System Recovery Instructions
This computer includes a hidden partition which contains a backup of your factory
Windows installation. In case of a system failure, you can use this backup to restore
your computer to a working state in just a few minutes.
Since this backup resides on the same physical hard-disk as your current Windows
installation, a hardware failure of the hard-disk will prevent you from reinstalling
Windows. There are two different ways to initiate a system recovery of your system:
• Trigger recovery from OS level (run FullRestore.exe)
• Trigger recovery during system boot up (press F10 key).
Warning: System Recovery will wipe all of your personal data and restore the system
to OOBE. You must have your CD-KEY from COA label ready before performing this
action. System Recovery is an automated, one-step process. Do not initiate a system
recovery unless you are prepared for a complete re-installation back to the factory
default installation.

Chapter 1: Workstation Overview
1-3 Chassis Features
The 5037A-iL-MA015 is a workstation with Whisper Quiet operation. The following is
a general outline of its main features. See Figure 1-3 for a front view of the chassis.
System Power
The 5037A-iL-MA015 features a single 500W Gold Level multi-outlet power supply
with PMBus, ideal for use in a workstation environment.
SATA Support
The 5037A-iL-MA015 was designed to support four 3.5" SATA hard drives and
four optional 2.5" hard drives.
Front Control Panel
The control panel on the 5037A-iL-MA015 provides you with system monitoring
and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, overheat
conditions and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.
Note: The power supply fail LED indicates the power supply fan has failed.
Cooling System
The 5037A-iL-MA015 has an innovative "Whisper Quiet" cooling design that provides suffi cient cooling at very low noise level - ideal for a workplace environment.
The chassis includes one 12-cm exhaust fan located at the rear of the chassis, and
one 12-cm optional system cooling fan in the middle of the chassis.
The power supply has one internal fan for redundancy; if this fan fails, the power
supply must be replaced.
Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 1-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

Workstation Setup
2-1 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the system itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Review the warnings and cautions, which may also be found on the Supermicro
Web site at http://www.supermicro.com/about/policies/safety_information.cfm.
2-2 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the workstation. 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
AC power outlet.
Setting Up
1. Locate the workstation is a suitable area according to the guidelines above.
2. Connect the mouse, keyboard and monitor to the workstation.
3. Connect an Ethernet cable to a LAN port if needed.
4. Connect the power to the power supply and then to a grounded AC outlet.
