SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
1-3 Mainboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5010H/5010E lies the 370SSR+/370SSE+, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the 370SSR+/370SSE+.
Chipset Overview
Intel’s 815E chipset is made up of three main components: the Graphics and
Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the Firmware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 133/100/66 MHz system bus
controller, a 2D/3D graphics accelerator (AGP2x/4x) discrete graphics card,
a 133/100 MHz SDRAM controller and a high-speed hub architecture interface that communicates with the ICH. The ICH integrates a UDMA/100 controller, USB controllers and other I/O functions (see below). The FWH
stores both system and video BIOS and includes a Random Number Generator (RNG).
Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
The GMCH includes the host (CPU) interface, DRAM interface, ICH2 interface and 4xAGP interface for the 815E chipset. It contains advanced power
management logic and supports dual channels for DRAM. The AGP 2.0
interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak bandwidth of
1066 MB/sec. The MCH host interface bus runs at 133/100/66 MHz.
I/O Controller Hub (ICH2)
The ICH2 is the I/O Controller Hub subsystem on the 370SSR+/370SSE+,
which integrates many of the Input/Output functions of the 815E chipset,
including UDMA/100 Bus Master IDE controllers. It also provides the interface to the PCI Bus and communicates with the MCH over a dedicated hub
interface. In addition to the UDMA/100 Bus Master IDE controllers, this
powerful ICH2 also includes two USB controllers that offer 24 Mbps of
bandwidth across three ports. ICH2 also features an enhanced AC'97
interface that supports full surround sound for the Dolby Digital Audio used
on DVDs.
Firmware Hub (FWH)
The FWH is a component that brings added security and manageability to
the PC platform infrastructure. This device includes an integrated Random
1-4
Chapter 1: Introduction
Number Generator (RNG) for stronger encryption, digital signing and security protocols. The FWH stores the system BIOS and video BIOS to eliminate
a redundant nonvolatile memory component.
Processors
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ supports single 370-pin Pentium III FCPGA 600 MHz1 GHz and Celeron FCPGA/PPGA 300-700 MHz processors with Front Side
Bus Speeds of 133/100/66 MHz. Please refer to the support section of our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://
www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).
Memory
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has three (3) 168-pin DIMM 250 sockets that can
support up to 512 MB of unbuffered PC133 and PC100 SDRAM. Module
sizes of 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB may be used to populate the DIMM
slots. The DIMM slots are situated at a 25 degree angle to create a low
profile and to promote efficient airflow through the chassis.
Onboard SCSI (5010H only)
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra160 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
160 MB/sec for each channel. The 370SSR+ provides two SCSI ports: one
internal 68-pin LVD Ultra160 connector (on channels A) and one external/
internal (shared) 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI connector (channel B).
PCI Expansion Slots
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has one 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slot available. One riser
card is included with the system for use with 32-bit PCI cards.
Network Interface Controllers (NIC)
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ supports two Network Interface controllers (NIC)
based on Intel's 82559 and 82562 chips. (For the 5010H server that is
based on the 370SSR+ Version 1.2 mainboard, two 82559 Ethernet chips
are included in the system.)
1-5
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four
UDMA/100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O ports include one
COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a video (Graphics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports which back each other up in case one
port loses connection.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include eight voltage
monitors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators,
chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5010H/5010E 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 5010H/5010E
system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor,
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 5010H/5010E
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5010H/5010E 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
5010H/5010E. 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 5010H/5010E 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
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E 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.
! !
Warnings and Precautions!
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
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 (5010H) 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 5010H/5010E into a
Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5010H/5010E
into a rack unit. If the 5010H/5010E 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 5010H/5010E 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
5010H/5010E. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner
fixed chassis rail that secures to the 5010H/5010E (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.

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
Installing the Chassis Rails:
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5010H/5010E chassis making sure the five 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 installing 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 5010H/5010E 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
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the
other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that 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 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.

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack:
If you are installing the SuperServer 5010H/5010E 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5010H/5010E 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 5010H/5010E (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 CPU (processor):
You should have one processor 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 core/bus ratio setting:
The CPU FSB speed is set with jumpers (JP 11, and JP12). (See Section
5-9 for details.) The CPU speed can also be changed by software control
in BIOS (see CPU Speed Setting). The CPU Speed Setting will show you
the actual CPU speed for each FSB speed option selected.
4. Check the system memory:
Your 5010H/5010E 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 5-5.
5. Installing add-on cards:
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Section 57 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

6. Check all cable connections and airflow:
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the 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. (*Note:
Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.)
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives (5010H only) 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.
2. Installing a 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.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives: (5010H)
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives,
please refer to Section 6-4.
4. Check the airflow:
Airflow is provided by a 10-cm input fan and one (optional) 4-cm cooling
fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote
sufficient airflow through the small 1U 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.
2-10
Chapter 2: Server Installation
5. 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 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-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.
RESET
l RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.
l POWER: This is the main power switch, 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.)
3-1
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC810 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. 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.

Each 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 to indicate a drive failure. (A SAF-TE compliant SCSI backplane is
optional on the 5010H/5010E.) 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 Power Supply Switch
An on/off switch is located on the back of the power supply. This switch
should normally be on at all times. Turning this switch to the off position
removes both the main and standby power from the system, as opposed to
the power button located on the control panel on the front of the chassis.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect
yourself from harm and the SuperServer 5010H/5010E from damage:
l 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.
l Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
l Power should always be disconnected from the system when
removing or installing main system components, such as the
motherboard, the MEC, memory modules and IDE and floppy drives.
When disconnecting power, you should first power down the
system with the operating system first and then unplug the power
cords of all the power supply units in the system.
l 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 necessary.
l 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.
l Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as
protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that
have been specifically designed as electrical insulators.
l The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and
must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
4-1
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
l Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if
the onboard battery (located near the AGP slot) is installed upside
down, which will reverse its polarites. 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.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
l Keep the area around the SuperServer 5010H/5010E clean and free
of clutter.
l The SuperServer 5010H/5010E weighs approx. 25 lbs. (11.8 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.
l Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have
been removed away from the system or on a table so that they
won't accidentally be stepped on.
l 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.
l 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.
l After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up
and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after
ensuring that all connections have been made.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
4-3 ESD Precautions
!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with
different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An
electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can
damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The
following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
l Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
l Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their
antistatic bags until ready for use.
l Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the
antistatic bag.
l Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your
clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist
strap.
l Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components,
peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
l When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
l Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags
when not in use.
l For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis
provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case,
the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.

Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the 370SSR+/370SSE+
motherboard into the SC810 chassis, connect the data and power cables
and install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are
also described. A layout and quick reference chart are on pages 5-12 and
5-13. Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished
working with the motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
Tools Required
The only tools you will need to install the 370SSR+/370SSE into the
chassis are a long and a short Philips screwdriver.
5-1 Handling the 370SSR+/370SSE+ Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle
them very carefully (see previous chapter). Also note that the size and
weight of the 370SSR+/370SSE+ motherboard can cause it to bend if
handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the 370SSR+/
370SSE+ motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the
board to support it when handling. The following measures are generally
sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
5-1
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
static bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is
static protected.
5-2 Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the 370SSR+
(5010H), 370SSE+(5010E) into the SC810 chassis. Following the steps in
the order given will eliminate the most common problems encountered in
such an installation. To remove the motherboard, follow the procedure in
reverse order.
1. Accessing the inside of the 5010H/5010E (see Figure 2-5):
Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis.
Depressing both of these buttons while pushing 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. (If already installed in
a rack, you must first release the retention screws that secure the
unit to the rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull
the unit straight out until the rails lock into place.)
2. Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield:
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ requires a chassis big enough to support a
12" x 8.7" motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC810 1U rackmount.
Make sure that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with
their respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
3. Mounting the motherboard onto the motherboard tray:
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning
the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible on
the bottom of the chassis. Insert screws into all the mounting holes
on your motherboard that line up with the standoffs and tighten until
snug (if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads).
Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground
to provide a continuous ground for the system.
5-2
Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables
to the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and
control panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices
have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the flow of
cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you
need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to
keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them
(make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The
following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-10 for connector locations.)
l IDE Device Cables (J18 and J19)
l Floppy Drive Cable (J26)
l SCSI Device Cables (JPA1, JPA2, JPA3) (5010H only)
l Control Panel Cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has a 20-pin primary power supply connector
designated "ATX Power" for connection to the ATX power supply.
See Section 5-8 for power connector pin definitions.
5-3
SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors.
See Figure 5-1 for the pin locations of the various front control panel
buttons and LED indicators. Please note that even and odd numbered
pins are on opposite sides.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify
this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on
the board. The other end connects to JP4 of the Control Panel PCB
board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis.
The control signals are all on the even numbered pins. See pages 512 to 5-14 for details and pin descriptions.
In addition to the 2-pin Power LED header on JF1, there is a 3-pin
header for the same function at J50 on the motherboard, which is
located near JF1.

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
2. Attaching heat sinks to the processors:
One passive heat sink has been included with your SuperServer 5010H/
5010E. Secure the heat sink to the processor with a suitable thermal
compound to best conduct the heat from the processor to the heat sink.
Make sure that you apply the compound evenly on the CPU's die,
and that good contact is made between the CPU chip (the die)
and the heat sink. Insufficient contact, inproper types of heat
sink or inproper amount of thermal compound can cause the
processor to overheat, which may crash the system. (Refer to
Figure 5-3b for Heat Sink Installation.)
4. Removing the processors:
To remove the processor from the motherboard, simply follow the
installation process in reverse order.

1. Memory support:
The 370SSR+/SSE+ supports 64MB/128MB/256MB/512 MB unbuffered
SDRAM in three 25-degree DIMMs. PC133 and PC100 memory are both
supported at their respective speeds. However, if three DIMM modules
are installed, the memory will run at 100MHz even if PC133 memory is
used due to chipset limitations.
2. Installing memory modules:
Insert each DIMM module into its slot in a 25-degree angle. Pay attention
to the two notches along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting
the DIMM module incorrectly. Gently press down on the DIMM module

5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. 32-bit PCI slot:
The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has one 32-bit MHz 5V PCI slot available. A riser
card designed specifically for using this slot in a 1U rackmount chassis is
included with your system. This riser card allows an installed PCI card to
sit at a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the chassis. This riser card
accommodates 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI cards. Figure 5-5 shows the riser
card.
2. PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card (see Step1).
Begin by removing the I/O shield for the PCI slot. Then fully seat the PCI
card into the riser card and screw it into the metal retention rail (shown
in Figure 2-5). Finally, insert the riser card into the PCI slot on the
motherboard, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the
card. (See Figure 5-6 for location.) Finish by using a screw to secure
the top of the card shield to the chassis. The I/O shield protects the
motherboard and its components from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so
make sure there is always a shield covering the slot.

the main blower fan is used. The
blower fan should be connected to
the chassis fan2 (blow fan)
header. See the motherboard layout on page 5-10 for locations.
Refer to the table on the right for
pin definitions. Note: The maximum
current limitation for the onboard
fans is 0.6 amps for each, not to exceed 1.25 amps for any two fans. I.e.

Chapter 6
Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform
maintenance on the SC810 chassis. For component installation, follow the
steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered.
If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform
maintainance is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To
prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to
handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD discharge.
Precautions
l Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
l Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
l Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
l When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
l Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their anti-
static bags when not in use.
l For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected
to the JF1 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system
status indications. A ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to
simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the motherboard
to JP4 on the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the
red wire plugs into pin 1 on both JF1 and JP4. Pull all excess cabling out
of the airflow path. The LEDs inform you of system status. See Chapter
3: System Interface for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
Details on JF1 can be found in the Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard
Installation.
6-2
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
One 10-cm blower fan provides all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 5010H/5010E. An optional 4-cm fan can also be installed into the
chassis cross section just above the ribbon cable to the JA1 SCSI
connector on the motherboard. The chassis includes air seals under the
blower fan and at the chassis cross section, which separates the drive
bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis to promote better
airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and
making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly
through the chassis. See Figure 6-3.
System Fan Failure
The blower fan runs at a full 100% rpm. If the fan fails, the ambient air
temperature in the chassis will rise and activate the overheat LED on the
control panel. You will need to power down the system to replace this
fan.
Replacing System Cooling Fans
1. Removing the blower fan:
After turning off the power to the system, first remove the chassis cover
and unplug the fan cable from the motherboard. Lift the blower fan from
the mounting posts and pull it completely out from the motherboard. See
Figure 6-3.
2. Installing a new blower fan:
Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro). Position the new fan at its proper place in the chassis, by
fitting the fan onto the fan mounting posts in the chassis. After the new
fan has been installed, plug the fan cable back into the same chassis fan
header on the motherboard you removed it from. Make sure the air seal
under the fan is properly installed and creating a good seal. Power up
the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the LED
on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the top panel of
the chassis.

Accessing the Drive Bays
SCSI Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis to
replace or swap SCSI drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use standard 1" high, 80-pin SCA SCSI drives in
the SuperServer 5010H.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drive: For installing/removing the CD-ROM or floppy
disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 5010H/5010E
by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and
Floppy Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit in the 5010H/5010E.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
SCSI Drive Installation (5010H only)
1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper
airflow for the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers
without SCSI drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new
SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board
side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in

Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects
and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane
or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airflow.
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives
are installed, both SCSI drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays for proper airflow.

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives:
Two SCSI drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them
easily accesible for installation and removal. These SCSI drives are hotswap units, meaning they can be installed and removed without powering
down the system. To remove, first push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs, then swing the burgundy colored handle fully out
and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
SCSI Power Cables
SCSI power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airflow
through the chassis. There is a 4-pin connector for the power cables.
SCA Backplane
The SCSI drives plug into an SCA backplane that provides power, SCSI ID
and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the SCA backplane
to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID
support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SCSI drives. The SCA
SCSI backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no jumpers or
switches present on it.
CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CDROM and floppy drive bays. The CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to
fit into the 5010H/5010E.
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 and at the same time, 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. You must
power down the system before installing or removing floppy or IDE
drives.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and
fully installed in their bays.
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to
provide for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always
connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires
always connects to drive B.

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual
6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 5010H/5010E has a single 200 watt power supply. This
power supply has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to
automatically sense and operate with either 110 or 220 volt inputs. A
power on/off switch is located at the back of the power supply. Turning
this power switch to the off position will remove both main and standby
power from the system.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will
need to replace the power supply unit. Replacement units can be
ordered directly from Supermicro. See contact infomation in the Preface.
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5010H/5010E:
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover.
To do so, 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 and push it away from
you. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.
2. Removing the power supply: (See Figure 6-6)
First unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed
power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply,
which secure it to the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of
the chassis. (The power cord should have already been removed.)
3. Installing a new power supply:
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly
recommended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully
insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two
screws at the rear of the unit. Before reconnecting the power cord,
make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off position.
Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push
the unit back into the rack. Finish by turning the power switch on the
power supply on, and then depress the power button on the front of the
system.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS for the 5010H/5010E. The AMI ROM
BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily upgraded using a
floppy disk-based program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to BIOS, some settings may have been
added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Refer to the
Manual Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that are
not reflected in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®,
and PS/2® compatible computers. The BIOS ROM stores the system parameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays,
etc. BIOS ROM requires very little power. When the computer is turned off,
a back-up battery provides power to the BIOS ROM, enabling it to retain the
system parameters. Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is
then configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system
BIOS, which gains control when the computer is powered on.
BIOS
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be
changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory
test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the
main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access
the other setup screens, such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 43 gives detailed descriptions of each parameter setting in the Setup utility.
An AMIBIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of the
screen, below the copyright message.

Close or Open.
RAS-to-CAS Latency Override
The RAS-to-CAS Override is adjusted with this option. The settings
are Disabled and Enabled. Disabled: This option allows RAS-to-CAS.
Enabled: This option overrides RAS-to-CAS. SDRAM stores informa
tion in blocks of rows and columns. RAS stands for Row Address
Strobe. CAS stands for Column Address Strobe.
CAS Latency
This option regulates the speed of the Column Address Strobe (CAS)
as either Fast or Slow, which is higher or lower latency. CAS latency
optimizes the speed at which data is accessed in a column by defining
BIOS
CAS latency time in 100 MHz or 133 MHz clocks (dependent on the
memory bus speed). It controls the time delay (in clocks) before
SDRAM starts a read command after receiving it. Reading RAS data
can be read twice as fast as reading CAS. Lowering the latency can
increase the speed of the SDRAM, but at the expense of stability.
RAS Timing
This option regulates the speed of the Row Address Strobe (RAS) as
either Fast or Slow. As with CAS Latency, lowering the timing can
increase the speed of the SDRAM, but at the expense of stability.
RAS Pre-charge
The precharge time is the number of cycles it takes for the RAS to
accumulate a charge before a DRAM refresh. Insufficient recharge
time may cause the DRAM to lose data. The settings are Fast and
Slow, which is more stable.

SDRAM Refresh
This option sets the refresh rate for the system memory. Settings include
Auto, 15.6 mS, 7.8 mS and 128 CLKS.
DRAM Cycle Time (SCLKS)
This option allows you set the DRAM cycle time to 5/7, 6/8 or Auto.
CAS Latency (SCLKS)
This option allows you to set the CAS latency time to 3, 2 or Auto.
RAS# to CAS# Delay (SCLKS)
The settings for this option are 3, 2 or Auto.
RAS# Precharge (SCLKS)
This option sets the RAS# precharge time. The settings are 3, 2 or Auto.

following pages. ICH stands for I/O Controller Hub, which is a chipset on
the motherboard that controls the basic I/O functions, USB ports, audio
functions, modem functions, IDE channels, and PCI slots.
Moon ISA Device Enable
This option allows a Moon ISA device to be supported. The settings are
BIOS
Disabled and Enabled. A Moon ISA device is a device that contains an
Intel® PCIset S82380AB PCI to ISA in a 160-pin MQFP chipset. This chipset
is called an Intel® Moon ISA or Intel® MISA. This chipset is used to connect
ISA devices to computers that do not have a physical ISA slot. The best
example of this is a notebook computer (No ISA Slots) when used with a
docking station (contains up to three ISA peripherals). The docking station
would contain the Intel® Moon ISA chipset.
ICH2 Positive Decode
This option allows the ICH2 Positive Decode to be set. The settings are
Disabled and Enabled.

Processor Serial Number
Intel includes a serial number in their processors to act as a unique system
identifier. For privacy reasons, you can disable the release of this identifier.
The settings for this option are Disabled and Enabled. Disabled: This setting restricts all access to the CPU serial number from your CPU. Enabled:
This setting allows the operating system and applications to be able to read
the CPU serial number from your CPUs. Note: If the CPU is a Intel®
Celeron Processor, then this selection will be grayed out. Intel® Celeron
Processors do not contain a processor serial number.
CPU Latency Timer
This option allows the CPU Latency Timer to be modified. The settings for
this option are Disabled and Enabled. Disabled: The deferrable processor
cycle will be deferred immediately after receiving another ADS#. Enabled:
The deferrable processor cycle will only be deferred after it has been in a
“Snoop Stall” for 31 clocks and another ADS# has arrived.
