registered ECC DDR333 (PC2700) or up to 24 GB of registered ECC DDR266

(PC2100) 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.

Serial ATA

A Marvell SATA controller is integrated into the X6DHP-TG to provide a four-port

Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID 0 and 1 supported. The ICH5R South Bridge

of the chipset also includes a Serial ATA controller that supports two SATA ports

(RAID 0, 1 and JBOD supported). The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Notes: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the

hot-swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives. The system sup-

ports Zero Channel RAID (ZCR) with an Adaptec 2020SA card (not included) in

the JPCIX1 slot (RAID levels 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported).

Onboard Controllers/Ports

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

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

include one COM port*, a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and

keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet ports.

*The backpanel COM port is available with the use of the rear COM port kit (included

with system). COM1 and COM2 are both headers on the X6DHP-TG.

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014P-

T/6014P-TR 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, pro-

cessors, 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 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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 6014P-T/6014P-TR.

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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server

Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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

S

UPERSERVER 6014P-T/6014P-TR User's 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 suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.

- 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.

!

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

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 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.

-

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

ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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 6014P-T/6014P-TR User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 6014P-T/6014P-TR into a rack

unit with the rack rails provided. If the system 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.

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 in the rack mounting kit. Each

assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly

to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack

itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of

the outer rails are also included.

Installing the Inner Rails

Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.

Proceed to the next step. A

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

(right side rail shown)

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Outer Rails

Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach

a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear

side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper

distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the

front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side

of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

Locking Tabs

Both chassis 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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails

2-5

S

UPERSERVER 6014P-T/6014P-TR User's Manual

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 2-3.

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.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the 6014P-T/6014P-TR into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets

on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will

extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance

the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove

it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear

brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack.

Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6014P-T/6014P-TR in the rack, you will need to open

the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the

connections have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-5)

First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack. Grasp the

two handles on either side and pull the system 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 (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis)

until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access

to the inside of the server.

To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the

chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to

pull the system out past the locked position.

2. Check the CPUs (processors)

You should have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. Each

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

heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 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.

4. Installing add-on cards

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

on installing PCI add-on cards.

5. Check all cable connections and airfl ow

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

chassis airfl ow. 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 and the Serial ATA

drives and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have

been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays

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

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

disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without

removing the top chassis cover.

2. CD-ROM and fl oppy disk drives

A slim CD-ROM and fl oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer

to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or fl oppy disk drive to the

system.

3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives

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

more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to

Chapter 6.

4. Check the airfl ow

Airfl ow is provided by fi ve sets of 40-mm fans (each set of fans consists of two

fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-

fully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that generate

the most heat. 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.

5. Supplying power to the system

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the

power cord(s) from the power supply module(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) source.

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the chassis control panel as well as others on the SATA

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. There are also two but-

tons on the chassis control panel. 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 UID button and a power on/off button.

 UID:

the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gura-

tions (see page 5-21). The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second

time. Another UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.

Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC814+T-560/SC814+T-R560 chassis

has six LEDs, which 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.

 UID: This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is pushed.

Pushing either button a second time will turn this LED off.



Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When

on continuously (on and not fl ashing) 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 prop-

erly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as the overheat

condition exists.

this light indicates SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.

 Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply

module(s). With the 6014P-T, this LED should always be green when the system is

operating. On the 6014P-TR, this LED turns amber in the event of a power supply

failure or if a power supply cord is disconnected or loose.

3-4 Serial ATA Drive Carrier LED

Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED

(on the front of the Serial ATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connec-

tion to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that

particular drive is being accessed.

Note: The second LED on the SATA carriers is not used.

Chapter 4: System Safety

Chapter 4

System Safety

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself

from harm and the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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

installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory

modules and the DVD-ROM and fl oppy drives (not necessary for SATA

drives). When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the system

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

supply modules 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 necessary.

 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 electrostatic discharge as protection

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

designed as electrical insulators.

 The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-1

SUPERSERVER 6014P-T/6014P-TR User's Manual

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

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities. 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. See Figure 4-1.

 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

radiation 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 SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR clean and free of

clutter.

 The SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR weighs approximately 42/45 lbs (19.1/20.5

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

removed 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.

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

 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.

4-3 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 com ponents and printed

circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this

difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

 Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic

bags until ready for use.

 Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic

bag.

 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.

 Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral

chips, memory modules or contacts.

 When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

 Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic 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 serverboard.

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors, memory and heatsinks

to the X6DHP-TG serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-

on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout

and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the

chassis completely when you have fi nished working on the serverboard to protect

and cool the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage

to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter

4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if

handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from

bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.

The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from

static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags

when not in use.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When

unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the

serverboard. 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 in preconfi gured systems to prevent them from blocking the fl ow

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). If you are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when

routing the cables. The following data cables (with their motherboard connector

locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout fi gure in this

chapter for connector locations.

 Serial ATA cables (MSATA0-1)

 CD-ROM cable (JIDE2)

 Floppy drive cable (JFDD1)

 Control panel cable (JF1, see next page)

 COM port cable (COM1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X6DHP-TG has a 24-pin primary ATX power supply connector designated

"JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector

from the power supply to the JPWR1 connector to supply power to the serverboard.

The 12V 8-pin power connector at JPWR2 must also be connected to your power

supply. See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector

pin defi nitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure

5-3 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indi-

cators. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of

each header.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into single ribbon cable to simplify their connec-

tion. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other

end connects to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the

system status LEDs in the chassis.

5-5 Installing Memory

Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules: http://

www.supermicro.com/support/resources/

CAUTION

Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules

to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is inter-

leaved to improve performance (see step 1).

DIMM Installation (Figures 5-5a and 5-5b)

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory sockets, starting with Bank

1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at a

time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and so on.

2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its socket. Pay attention to the notch

along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incor-

rectly.

3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the sockets.

Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

Memory Support

The X6DHP-TG has six 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 12 GB of regis-

tered ECC DDR333 (PC2700) or up to 24 GB of registered ECC DDR266 (PC2100)

SDRAM. The serverboard was designed to support 2 GB modules in each socket,

but has only been verifi ed for up to 1 GB modules. The memory is an interleaved

5-6 Adding PCI Cards

1. PCI slots

Your system should come with one or two riser cards to acommodate the use of

one or two PCI expansion cards. The number and type of cards supported by

each server system is shown below.

6014P-T: supports the use of one (each) standard size (full-height full-length) 100

MHz PCI-X add-on cards or two PCI-Express x8 add-on cards or a combination

thereof.

6014P-TR: supports the use of one standard size (full-height full-length) 100 MHz

PCI-X or one PCI-Express x8 add-on card.

Notes: (L) refers to left and (R) refers to right-side slots when viewed from the front

of the chassis. "Boxed" riser cards are included with the system (in the accessory

box). A PCI-X slot and a PCI-E slot together constitute a Universal PCI slot. If

both riser cards are to be used on the 6014P-T, you must install the right-side riser

card (when viewed from front of the system) fi rst.

2. PCI card installation

Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the riser card

and slot that supports the speed of the card (see step 1 above - you may need

to change the installed riser card with a boxed one to support the type of add-on

card you wish to install).

Begin by swinging out the release tab on the PCI slot shield that corresponds

to the riser slot you wish to populate. Insert the PCI card into the correct riser

slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by

pushing the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this proce-

dure when adding a card to the other slot (if applicable).

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-

nance on the SC814+T-560/SC814+T-R560 chassis. For component installation,

follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encoun-

tered. If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.

Tools Required

The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a

Philips screwdriver.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent

damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very

carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment

from ESD damage.

Precautions

 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic 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 serverboard.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-3 System Fans

Five 40-mm fans provide the cooling for the 6014P-T/6014P-TR. Each fan unit is

actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite direc-

tions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airfl ow and works to

dampen vibration levels. These fans can adjust their speed according to the heat

level sensed in the system, which results in more effi cient and quieter fan operation.

Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-16). Each fan in a set

has its own separate tachometer.

It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airfl ow to

circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.

System Fan Failure

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan

fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest

convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with

a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover (see instructions on p. 2-8) while the

system is still running to determine which of the fi ve fan units has failed. Then

power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord(s) is

also recommended as a safety precaution.

Replacing System Cooling Fans

1. Removing a fan

After turning off the power to the system, fi rst remove the chassis cover (refer to

page 6-7) and unplug all the fan cables from the motherboard. Grasp the rectan-

gular housing that holds all the fan units and lift it out of the chassis (see Figure

6-2). Push the failed fan out through the bottom of the fan housing.

2. Installing a new fan

Replace the failed fan with an identical 40-mm, 12 volt fan (available from

Supermicro: p/n FAN-0079). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing

while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point

in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. Reposition the fan housing

back over the two mounting posts in the chassis, then reconnect the fan wires to

the same chassis fan headers you removed them from. 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 chassis cover.

Serial ATA Drive Installation

1. Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier

The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and

removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the

Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without Serial ATA

drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new Serial ATA drive, install

a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the

mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with

six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

DVD/CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD/CD-

ROM and fl oppy drive bays. The 6014P-T/6014P-TR accomodates only slim

DVD/CD-ROM and fl oppy drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount

the DVD/CD-ROM drive in the server.

You must power down the system before installing or removing a fl oppy or DVD/

CD-ROM drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server 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 ac-

cess to the inside of the server.

With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive

you want to remove. Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be

on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis. Pull the tab

away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis. Add a new

drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint *click* of the

locking tab when the drive is fully inserted. Remember to reconnect the data and

power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power

to the system. Please be aware of the following:

• The fl oppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.

• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.

6-5 Power Supply

6014P-TR

The SuperServer 6014P-TR has a redundant 560 watt power supply confi guration

consisting of two hot-swappable power modules. The power supply modules have

an auto-switching capability, which enables them to automatically sense and operate

with a 100V - 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full

load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The Power

On LED on the control panel will turn yellow and remain on until the failed module

has been replaced. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from Supermicro

(see contact information in the Preface). The power supply modules have a hot-

swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed module without powering down

the system.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply module.

The redundant feature will keep the system up and running while you replace the

failed hot-swap module. Replace with the same model - SP562-1R (p/n PWS-

0057), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see Contact Information in

the Preface).

1. Removing the power supply

First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. To remove

the failed power module, fi rst locate the colored release tab (1). Push the tab to

the right (2) and then pull the module straight out with the handle provided (3)

(Figure 6-5, single power supply server shown). The power supply wiring was

designed to detach automatically when the module is pulled from the chassis.

2. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed hot-swap module with another SP562-1R power supply mod-

ule. Simply push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear

a click. Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the module.

6-8

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6014P-T

The SuperServer 6014P-T has a single 560 watt cold-swap power supply, which is

auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a

100v - 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply

when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply

is operating.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to

replace the module. Replacements can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see

contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply module in

the 6014P-T, power must be completely removed from the server before removing

and replacing the power supply for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

1. Removing the power supply

First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord

from the system. To remove the failed power module, fi rst locate the colored re-

lease tab (1). Push the tab to the right (2) and then pull the module straight out

with the handle provided (3) (Figure 6-5). The power supply wiring was designed

to detach automatically when the module is pulled from the chassis.

2. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed power supply with another SP562-1R power supply module

(p/n PWS-0057). Carefully insert the new power supply into the open bay and

push it completely into the chassis until you hear a clicking sound, meaning it has

been fully inserted. Finish by reconnecting the AC power cord and depressing

T to hold two power supply modules or (not recommended) the 6014P-TR to hold

a single power supply module. The alternate backpanel section you will need for

either operation has been included with the system.

Note: in the following instructions, "right" and "left" refers to the side noted when

viewed from the rear of the system.

Reconfi guring the 6014P-T (see Figure 6-6)

1. You will fi rst need to power down the system and remove the power cord. To gain

access to the inside of the system, pull the server out from the rack and remove

the top chassis cover by following the instructions on page 2-8.

2. Remove any expansion card that may be installed in the right-side riser card.

3. Remove the three screws that secure the riser card bracket, which runs from

the primary ATX power connector to the rear of the chassis. After the screws are

removed, lift the riser card bracket out from the chassis.

4. At the rear of the power distribution board (where the second power supply

is inserted), there is a vertical shield that protects the second power supply slot.

Remove this shield by grasping and forcibly pulling it off the cover that protects the

power distribution board.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

5. Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it connected

to the serverboard.

6. Remove the three screws (two on the bottom and one on the side) that secure

the right backpanel section to the chassis, then remove the backpanel section

(Figure 6-6, step 1). Locate the alternate backpanel section (included in the ac-

cessory box) and attach it to the chassis with the same screws you just removed

(Figure 6-6, step 2).

7. Reattach the COM port header to the proper space on the new backpanel sec-

tion.

8. Reinstall the riser card bracket.

9. Insert a new power supply module, pushing it all the way into the empty bay

until it clicks into place.

10. Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and reconnect

the power cords (to both power modules now). Power up the system.

Reconfi guring the 6014P-TR (see Figure 6-7)

Reconfiguring the 6014P-TR as a single power supply system

is not recommended by Supermicro. However, if you do wish to re-

configure the system, please carefully follow the instructions below.

1. First, power down the system and remove the power cords from both power

modules, as well as the left-side (when viewed from the rear of the system) power

supply. To gain access to the inside of the system, pull the server out from the rack

and remove the top chassis cover by following the instructions on page 2-8.

2. Once the cover is removed and you have full access to the inside of the system,

begin by removing the three screws that secure the riser card bracket, which runs

from the primary ATX power connector to the rear of the chassis. After the screws

are removed, lift the riser card bracket out from the chassis.

3. Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it connected

to the serverboard.

4. Remove the three screws (two on the bottom and one on the side) that secure the

right backpanel section to the chassis, then remove the backpanel section (Figure

6-6, step 2). Locate the alternate backpanel section and attach it to the backpanel

with the same screws you just removed (Figure 6-6, step 1).

5. Pull the left-side (when viewed from the rear of the system) power supply out

of the chassis. Note that the power distribution board contacts for this power

supply are now exposed. Supermicro does not supply a shield to protect these

contacts, you must do so on your own.

6. Reinstall the riser card bracket.

7. You may now add a left-side riser card (purchased separately*) and a PCI-

X/PCI-Express expansion card in the space vacated by the second power supply

module, if desired.

8. Reattach the COM port header to the space provided in the new backpanel

section.

9. Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and reconnect

the power cord (to only a single power module now). Power up the system.

* CSE-RR1U-X (for PCI-X cards) or CSE-RR1U-EL (for PCI-Express cards).

! !

Important: Reconfi guring the 6014P-TR as a single power supply system

is not recommended. If you do reconfi gure the 6014P-TR, it is extremely

important that you install a shield (not included) to protect the power distri-

bution board contacts that were used by the second power supply module

(see step 5 above).

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X6DHP-TG. The

Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a fl ash chip and can be easily upgraded using a

fl oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or

deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of the Supermicro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any

changes to BIOS that may not be refl ected in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.

(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are

a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) Each main BIOS

menu option is described in this manual.

The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options

that can be confi gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be confi gured. The right frame

displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text mes-

sage. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often

a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built

in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes-

sages.) Options printed in Bold are the default settings.

The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of

these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at

any time during the setup navigation process.

Note: fan speed is controlled by the “Auto Fan Control” setting in BIOS. The rec-

ommended (default) setting for the 6014P-T/6014P-TR is “3-pin (Server)”. The fan

speed setting is decribed on page 7-16.

Appendix A

BIOS POST Codes

This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the Phoenix BIOS. POST

codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.

Recoverable POST Errors

When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an

POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the follow-

ing beep codes:

1 long and two short beeps - video confi guration error

1 repetitive long beep - no memory detected

Terminal POST Errors

If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing

so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the

error in the top left corner of the screen. The following is a list of codes that may

be written to port 80h.

POST Code Description

02h Verify Real Mode
03h Disable Non-Maskable Interrupt (NMI)
04h Get CPU type
06h Initialize system hardware
07h Disable shadow and execute code from the ROM.

If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional

word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C

0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020" means data bits 12

and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also sends the

bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It fi rst displays the checkpoint code, followed by

a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the loworder byte of the error.

It repeats this sequence continuously.
