1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/6016GT-TF-TM2/6016GT­TF-TC2 lies the X8DTG-DF, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel 5520
chipset. Below are the main features of the X8DTG-DF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block
diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X8DTG-DF supports two Intel Xeon processor 5600/5500 series. Please refer
to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of sup­ported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X8DTG-DF has 12 DIMM slots that can support up to 192 GB of registered
ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM or up to 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC
DDR3-1333/1066/800 MHz SDRAM. Modules of the same size and speed are
recommended. See Chapter 5 for details.

Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the South Bridge (ICHR10) section of the chipset
to provide a six-port 3/Gbs SATA subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 sup­ported. The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operati ng system yo u use must h ave R AID su ppor t to e nable t he hot­swap capability and RAI D function of the SATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

The X8DTG-DF has two PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slots and one PCI-Express 2.0 x4
slot. The 6016GT-TF-TM2 and 6016GT-TF-TC2 (and the 6016GT-TF if GPUs are
installed) can accommodate one low-profi le PCI-E x4 card with a riser card in a
x16 slot. The 6016XT-TF without GPUs installed can support four full size PCI-E
x8 cards in the x16 slots and (with a riser card) one low-profi le PCI-E x4 card in
a x16 slot.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The color-coded I/O ports include one COM port (an additional COM header is
located on the serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse
and keyboard ports and two Gb Ethernet ports.

1-2

Chapter 1: Introduction

IPMI

IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface speci­fi cation that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro
server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware
status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle
a system that is non-responsive.

Other Features

Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage moni­tors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU
overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

System Power

The SC818GTQ-1400B features a Gold Level 1400W high-effi ciency power supply.
The AC power cord should be removed from the system before servicing or replac­ing the power supply. See Chapter 6 for details.

SATA Subsystem

The SC818GTQ-1400B chassis includes three 3.5" drive bays, which may be used
to house ho t-swappa ble SATA drives. R AID 0, 1, 5 and 10 are supp orte d (RA ID
5 is not supp or ted w ith Lin ux OS). An opt iona l solut ion i s availab le to prov ide si x

2.5" dr ive bays ins tead of th e stand ard thr ee 3.5 " drive b ays.

Front Control Panel

The control panel provides a system monitoring and control interface. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat, UID and power sup­ply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also included.

Cooling System

The SC818GTQ-1400B has an innovative cooling design that includes four 4-cm
counter-rotating PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) fans located in the middle section
of the chassis. Two additional fans are included to cool each GPU in the 6016GT
series servers. The power supply module also includes a cooling fan. All chassis
and power supply fans operate continuously. An air shroud channels the airfl ow

SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

from the system fans to effi ciently cool the processors and memory. See note on
the following page regarding fan control.

1-4 GPU Subsystem

The 6016GT family of servers represents Supermicro's line of massively parallel
processing dual-GPU servers. Two NVIDIA® Tesla™ GPUs with multiple x16 non­blocking native Gen2 PCI-Express connectivity place these systems at the forefront
of today's GPU computing solutions.

See the table below for the GPU specifi cations of each server. Refer to the NVIDIA
web site (www.nvidia.com) for details on Tesla GPUs.

Notes

The GPUs process complex image calculations and then route the data out through
the VGA port on the serverboard.

The 6016XT-TF can support a single standard size (single-width) GPU only.
The C1060 GPU model includes an active heatsink. Its fans work independently of

the system fans and cooling parameters.
The M1060 model comes with a passive heatsink. Cooling the GPU is a function

of overall system cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer up and
running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the
system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on
installing specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the system 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 server. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the server was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system
into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process
in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

• Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for
installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms,
service closets and the like).

2-1

SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-

multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.

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 servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera­ture of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera­ture (Tmra).

Reduced Airfl ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connec­tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC818G chassis into a rack unit
with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the
installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Note: This rail will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The server includes 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.

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially fi lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

The SC818G chassis includes a set of inner rack rails in two sections: inner rails (A)
and inner rail extensions (B). The inner rails are preattached and do not interfere
with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to install to a server rack. Attaching
the inner rail extensions to to the inner rails stabilizes the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rail Extensions

1. Place the inner rail extensions (B) over the preattached inner rails (A) which
are attached to the side of the chassis. Align the hooks of the inner rail with

Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-5)

1. Confi rm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions . Also, confi rm
that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.

3. 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). When the
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".

4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the
server to the rack.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de­signed to pull the system from a rack only.

Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Rack

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Optional brackets (p/n MCP-290-00016-0N) are needed to install the server to a
telco (open type) rack.

To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the 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 chassis, then the two rear brackets
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish
by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the fl oor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the server in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure
the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

Removing the Chassis Cover (Figure 2-7)

1. Remove the three screws securing the top cover to the chassis.

2. Press both of the release tabs at the same time to release the cover

3. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis.

4. Lift the cover up and off of the chassis.

Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the server
without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow
proper airfl ow and prevent overheating.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Checking the Components

1. You may have processors already installed to the serverboard. Each proces­sor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and
heatsink installation.

2. 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.

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

4. 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. 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 serverboard area of the chassis.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the hard drives have been properly installed
and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1. For servicing the hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.

2. If you need to remove or install hard drives, please refer to Chapter 6.

Checking the Airfl ow

1. Airfl ow is provided by 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the compo-
nents that generate the most heat.

2. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

2-11

SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

Providing Power

1. 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).

2. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis control panel.

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the drive car­riers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well
as the activity and health of specifi c components. 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-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button and
a power on/off button.

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

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.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC818GTQ 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.

Universal Information LED

When this LED blinks red quickly, it indicates a fan failure. This LED will be blue
when used for UID (Unit Identifi er). When on continuously it indicates an overheat
condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in the system or
the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and
make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to
make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally , verify that the heatsinks are
installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing or on as long as the
indicated condition exists. See the table below for descriptions of the LED states.

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X8DTG-DF serverboard into the
chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard
jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart
are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the
chassis when you have fi nished working with the serverboard to better cool and
protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

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
(see previous chapter). 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 electric static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic 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 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.

5-1

SUPERSERVER 6016XT-TF/6016GT-TF/TF-TM2/TF-TC2 User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis-

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

protected.

5-2 Serverboard Installation

This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X8DTG-DF into the

SC818GTQ-1400 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate

the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the

serverboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.

Installing to the Chassis

1. Access the inside of the system by removing the screws from the back lip of
the top cover of the chassis, then pull the cover off.

2. Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align properly with their
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.

3. Carefully mount the serverboard to the serverboard tray by aligning the board
holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.

4. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboard 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
serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.

5. Finish by replacing the top cover of the chassis.

Warning: To avoid damaging the serverboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mount­ing hole.

5-2

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboard 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 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). The following data
cables (with their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout on page
5-9 for connector locations.)

• SATA drive data cable (SATA1 ~ 3)

• SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO-0)

• Control Panel cable (JF1)

• GPU power cables (JPW2, JPW3 - 6016GT series only)

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X8DTG-DF has a 20-pin proprietary power supply connector (JPW1) for con­nection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin secondary power
connectors (JPW2, JPW3) that also must be connected to your power supply. See
Section 5-9 for power connector pin defi nitions.

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.

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 the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status
LEDs on the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-5 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Warning! Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always

remove the power cord fi rst before adding, removing or changing any hardware com-
ponents.

Notes:

• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-

moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certifi ed multi-

directional heatsink only.

• Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU

heatsinks.

• When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that

the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

• Refer to the Sup ermi cro web s ite for upd ates on CPU su ppor t.

Installing an LGA1366 Processor

1. Press the socket clip to release
the load plate, which covers the
CPU socket, from its locked posi­tion.

2. Gently lift the socket clip to open
the load plate.

Installing a CPU Heatsink

1. Remove power from the system
and unplug the AC power cord
from the power supply.

2. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die;
the required amount has already
been applied.

3. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the (preinstalled) heatsink reten­tion mechanism.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

4. 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.)

5. Add the two remaining screws
then fi nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

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!!)

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

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 a heatsink.

Note: see Chapter 6 for details on installing the air shroud.

5-6 Installing Memory

CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to

prevent any possible damage.

Memory Support

The X8DTG-DF supports up to 192 GB of registered ECC or up to 48 GB of unbuf­fered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 MHz SDRAM in 12 DIMM slots. See the
following table for memory installation.

Notes: With unbuffered ECC/non-ECC memory, 2 GB is the maximum DIMM size
that can be supported per slot.

Memory speed support is dependent on the type of CPU used on the board.

Installing Memory Modules

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
P1-DIMM 1A. For best memory performance, please install memory modules
of the same type and same speed on the memory slots as indicated on the
tables below.

2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to avoid installing incorrectly (see Figure 5-4).

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

5-6 Adding PCI Add-On Cards

The 6016XT-TF (without GPUs installed) can support four full size PCI-E x8 cards in
the x16 slots and (with a riser card) one low-profi le PCI-E x4 card in a x16 slot.

The 6016GT series servers can (in addition to two NVIDIA Tesla GPU cards) sup­port one low-profi le PCI-Express 2.0 x4 card via a riser card installed in the PCI-E
x16 slot.

Installing an Add-on Card

1. Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to populate.

2. Fully seat the card into the riser card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly
on both sides of the card.

3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shields protect the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the
serverboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional settings.
Jumpers create shorts between two
pins to change the function of the con­nector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with a square
solder pad on the printed circuit board.
See the serverboard layout pages for
jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins,
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents
of CMOS.

To clear CMOS,

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such
as a small screwdriver.

3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

over the Blue UID_LED located on pin 7
of JF1. (That is, when the red LED is on
the blue LED will be turned off. When the
red LED is off, the blue UID_LED can be
on or off.) In other words, the red LED
signal overwrites the blue UID_LED signal
if J_UID-OW is set to off. When the jumper
J_UID_OW is Closed, the red LED and
the Blue_UID_LED work independently of
each other and the red LED will have no
effect on the blue LED. See the table below

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.

*An optional solution is available to provide six 2.5" drive bays instead of the

6-2 Control Panel

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard 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 serverboard to the appropriate header on 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 In­terface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can
be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Installation."

6-3 System Cooling

Eight 4-cm counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the system. 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. The SC818GTQ chassis provides two additional open fan housings,
where an additional system fan may be added for optimal cooling.

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.

6-2

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed. Replace any failed fan at your earli­est convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run
with a failed fan).

Replacing a System Fan (Figure 6-2)

Chapter 7

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTG-DF. The AMI
ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter
describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI 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 setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar­row keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Confi guration Data

The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
