Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6015B-

3/6015B-T 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 6015B-3/6015B-T 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 6015B-3/6015B-T.

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 6015B-3/6015B-T 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

UPERSERVER 6015B-3/6015B-T 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 ac-

cording 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 SAS/SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before

touching 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.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

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

2-3

UPERSERVER 6015B-3/6015B-T User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 6015B-3/6015B-T 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.

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

UPERSERVER 6015B-3/6015B-T 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 chas-

sis 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T into a Telco type rack, use two L-

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

follow 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 chas-

sis, 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.

UPERSERVER 6015B-3/6015B-T User's Manual

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6015B-3/6015B-T 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, 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 chas-

sis 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 may 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 SAS/SATA

drives and SAS/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 DVD-

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

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

without removing the top chassis cover.

2. DVD-ROM and ﬂ oppy disk drives

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

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

system.

3. Check the SAS/SATA disk drives

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

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

refer to Chapter 6.

4. Check the airﬂ ow

Airﬂ ow is provided by four 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 from the power supply module 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 control panel as well as others on the SAS/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 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-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:

 Power: The main power button is used to apply or remove power from the

power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button

removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

UPERSERVER 6015B-3/6015B-T User's Manual

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of th SC815TQ-560 chassis has ﬁ ve 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.



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

the overheat condition exists.

 NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when ﬂ ashing .

 NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when ﬂ ashing.

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T

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

3-2

Chapter 3: System Interface

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

units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

SAS Drives (6015B-3)

Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs:

 Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive carrier

indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on

and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

 Red: The SES2 compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a

drive failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notiﬁ ed by your system

management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed

SAS drives.

SATA Drives (6015B-T)

Each SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.

 Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive car-

rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED

to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

 Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive

is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SATA drive fails, you

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

6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from

harm and the SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T 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 SAS/SATA

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

with the operating system and then unplug the power cords from 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 6015B-3/6015B-T 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 (see Figure

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

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to

the manufacturer's instructions.

 DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with

a DVD-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 6015B-3/6015B-T clean and free of

clutter.

 The SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T weighs approximately 40 lbs (18.2 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 and heatsinks to the

X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E 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 sufﬁ ciently.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

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

age 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 sup-

port 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.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label

IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it ﬁ rst before add-

ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install

the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The

X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E can support either one or two Xeon 5100/5000 type proces-

sors. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1.

Notes:

1. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If

you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certiﬁ ed multi-direc-

tional heatsinks and fans.

area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive

surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system

from booting up.

2. When purchasing a Xeon 5100/5000 CPU or when receiving a serverboard with

a CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of

the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

Installing the Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease

to the heatsink or the CPU die; the

required amount has already been

applied.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU

so that the four mounting holes are

aligned with those on the (preinstalled)

heatsink retention mechanism.

3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e.

the #1 and the #2 screws) until just

snug. Do not fully tighten the screws

or you may damage the CPU.)

4. Add the two remaining screws then

ﬁ nish the installation by fully tightening

all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

Warning! We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be

removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please

1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence as

show in the picture above.

2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do

not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)

follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the

CPU socket.

3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal grease.

Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you re-install the

heatsink.

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 reroute them 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 serverboard connector

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

chapter for connector locations.

 DVD-ROM Drive cable (JIDE#1)

 Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)

 6 015B -T: Seria l ATA cable s ( I-SATA0~3)

 6015B-T: SGPIO cable (SGPIO1)

Connecting Power Cables

The X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E has a 20-pin primary power supply connector designated

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

tor from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the

Connector Deﬁ nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin deﬁ nitions.

In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 4-pin Auxiliary ATX Power

connection at JPW2 and the 8-pin Processor Power connector at JPW3.

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 (See Figure 5-3)

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with Bank1

(both DIMM#1A and DIMM#1B). The memory scheme is interleaved so you must

install two modules at a time, beginning with Bank1, then Bank2 and so on.

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

the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.

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

Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

5-6 Adding PCI Cards

1. PCI Expansion Slots

The X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E has two Universal PCI slots, each of which support either

one x8 PCI-Express card or one PCI-X 133/100 MHz card. (On the X7DBR-3, slot

#7 is a 100 MHz PCI-X slot, on the X7DBR-E slot #7 is a 133 MHz PCI-CX slot.)

The SC815TQ-560 chassis can accommodate one standard size (full height full

length) and one low proﬁ le PCI expansion cards. When viewed from the chassis

front, the standard size card installs to the left and the low-proﬁ le card installs to

the right side.

PCI cards are installed into riser cards that have been included with the system: the

CSE-RR1U-X riser supports a standard size card in slot #6 and the CSE-RR1U-XLP

riser supports a low proﬁ le card in slot #7.

An additional two riser cards are available as an option to support add-on cards

in the SXB-E1 and SXB-E2 x8 (PCI-Express) slots: the CSE-RR1U-EL riser (for

a standard size card) and the CSE-RR1U-ELP (for a low proﬁ le card).

2. PCI card installation

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

card. Begin by releasing the locking tab that corresponds to the slot you wish to

populate. Insert the expansion card into the correct riser card, pushing down with

your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.

in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. 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.

the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into

pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airﬂ ow path.

The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-3 System Fans

Four 40-mm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer

6015B-3/6015B-T. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-

back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates

exceptional airﬂ ow and works to dampen vibration levels. It is very important that

the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the

cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See

Figure 6-2.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,

the remaining fan 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 while the system is still running to determine which

of the two fans 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 Fans

1. Removing a fan

After turning off the power to the system, ﬁ rst remove the chassis cover and unplug

the fan cable from the motherboard. Unscrew the failed blower fan from the chassis

and pull it completely out from the serverboard.

2. Installing a new fan

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

Supermicro: p/n FAN-0086L). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the hous-

ing 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.

Removing the Front Bezel

If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must ﬁ rst

remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, ﬁ rst unlock the

front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully re-

move the bezel with both hands. A ﬁ lter located within the bezel can be removed

for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of

ﬁ lter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airﬂ ow throughout the

whole system.

Accessing the Drive Bays

SAS/SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access

the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SAS or

SATA drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.

DVD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM or ﬂ oppy disk

drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6015B-3/6015B-T by removing

the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Instal-

SAS/SATA Drive Installation

1. Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a drive carrier

The SAS/SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation

the drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must

remain in the chassis. To add a new 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

6-4.

Figure 6-4. Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Carrier

Use caution when working around the SAS/SATA backplane. 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 airﬂ ow.

Important: Regardless of how many SAS/SATA hard drives are

installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to main-

tain proper airﬂ ow.

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SAS/SATA drives

The SAS/SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis.

These hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed

without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button

located beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it

to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).

Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-

pability of the SAS/SATA drives.

Figure 6-5. Removing a SAS/SATA Drive from the Server

SAS/SATA Backplane

The SAS drives plug into a SES2 backplane (6015B-3) and the SATA drives plug

into a SAF-TE compliant backplane (6015B-T). Both backplanes provide power,

drive ID and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to

provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to

enable the hot-swap capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconﬁ g-

ured, so there are no jumpers or switches present on it.

DVD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

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

and ﬂ oppy drive bays. The 6015B-3/6015B-T accomodates only slim-line DVD-

ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line DVD-ROM

drive in the 6015B-3/6015B-T server.

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

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 access 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.

• A single ﬂ oppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide

for two ﬂ oppy 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.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 6015B-3/6015B-T has a single 560 watt power supply, which is

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

100v to 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 unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace

the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact

information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply unit in the 6015B-

3/6015B-T, power must be completely removed from the server before removing

and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

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 and remove the two screws on the inner side of

the power supply module that secures it to the chassis. Next, push the release tab

(on the back of the power supply) to the right and then pull the module straight out

(see Figure 6-6). 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 module with another PWS-561-1H20 power supply mod-

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

a click. Secure it to the chassis with the two screws that were previously removed.

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

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X7DBR-3/X7DBR-E.

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 the BIOS that may not be reﬂ ected 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 Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters,

types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires

very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery pro-

vides power to the CMOS Logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time

the computer is powered on the computer is conﬁ gured with the values stored in

the CMOS Logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

How To Change the Conﬁ guration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by

entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the

<Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

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 Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 7-3, detailed de-

scriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS

to prevent possible boot failure.

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS will check for problems. If a prob-

lem is found, the BIOS will activate an alarm or display a message. The following is

a list of such BIOS messages.

Failure Fixed Disk

Fixed disk is not working or not conﬁ gured properly. Check to see if ﬁ xed disk is

attached properly. Run Setup. Find out if the ﬁ xed-disk type is correctly identiﬁ ed.

Stuck key

Stuck key on keyboard.

Keyboard error

Keyboard not working.

Keyboard Controller Failed

Keyboard controller failed test. May require replacing keyboard controller.

Keyboard locked - Unlock key switch

Unlock the system to proceed.

Monitor type does not match CMOS - Run SETUP

Monitor type not correctly identiﬁ ed in Setup

Shadow Ram Failed at offset: nnnn

Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was de-

tected.

System RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

System CMOS checksum bad - Default conﬁ guration used

System CMOS has been corrupted or modiﬁ ed incorrectly, perhaps by an application

program that changes data stored in CMOS. The BIOS installed Default Setup Values.

If you do not want these values, enter Setup and enter your own values. If the error

persists, check the system battery or contact your dealer.

System timer error

The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.

Real time clock error

Real-Time Clock fails BIOS hardware test. May require board repair.

Check date and time settings

BIOS found date or time out of range and reset the Real-Time Clock. May require

setting legal date (1991-2099).

Previous boot incomplete - Default conﬁ guration used

Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers

to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected,

the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup

settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup

and verify that the waitstate conﬁ guration is correct. This error is cleared the next

time the system is booted.

Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS

Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.

Diskette drive A error

Diskette drive B error

Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST diskette tests. Check to see that

the drive is deﬁ ned with the proper diskette type in Setup and that the diskette drive

is attached correctly.
