This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+
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 pre-installed. 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 6016T -6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ 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 6016T-6RFT+/6016T6RF+. 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 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ 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
2-1
SUPERSERVER 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ User's Manual
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.
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.
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 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.).
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.

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ 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
(left side rail shown)
Inner RailOuter RailLocking Tab
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
1. Measure the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack.
2. 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.
3. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
can fi t snugly into the rack.
4. 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.
5. 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
SUPERSERVER 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ User's Manual
Installing the Server into the Rack
Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-3)
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.
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the chassis (four total).
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the
rack.
Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom
of a rack fi rst.
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.

2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the system 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.
Accessing the Inside of the System
1. First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out
until it locks (you will hear a "click").
2. Next, press the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.
3. Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops.
You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server.
4. To remove the system from the rack completely, press 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.
Checking the Components
1. 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.
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 an add-on card 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.

2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the hard drives and
backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
Checking the Drives
1. All drives are accessable from the front of the server. The hard disk drives
can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing
the top chassis cover.
2. A slim DVD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. For servicing
the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. Refer to
Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.
3. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
1. Airfl ow is provided by fi ve sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of
two fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was
carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components 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.
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 module into a high-quality power strip that
offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
2. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
source.

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.
Connecting Data Cables
The 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 connector locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
• DVD-ROM drive cable (SATA0)
• SAS cables (SAS0 ~ SAS3)
• Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ has a 24-pi n p r i ma ry powe r sup p ly conne c to r d esignated "JPW1" for conne c ti on to t he ATX power su ppl y. Connec t t he ap pro pr iate
connector from the powe r 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 8-pin Proces-
sor Power connectors at JPW2 and JPW3.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the front control panel buttons and LED indicators. Please
note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind
the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.

5-6 Adding PCI Cards
PCI Expansion Slots
The X8DTU-6TF+/X8DTU-6F+ has one Universal PCI slot. Riser cards installed
to the system allow you to add PCI expansion cards (see below). The SC819TQR700U chassis can support the use of two standard size (full-height, full-length)
expansion cards and one low-profi le (5.6" length) expansion card (with pre-installed
riser cards).
PCI Card Installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you power off the system fi rst. Begin
by removing the top chassis cover. Two riser cards should be pre-installed into the
system. Remove the screws that secure the riser cards to the rear of the chassis
then lift the riser card assembly from the chassis. Insert the PCI card into the riser
card slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card - note
that the add-on card attaches to the riser card with a single screw. After the card
has been installed, reinsert the riser card back into the expansion slot on the board,
then secure it with the same screws you removed previously. Finish by replacing
the chassis cover.

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.

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. These
wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable 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 Setup."

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Five 4-cm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the 6016T6RFT+/6016T-6RF+. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined backto-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 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. After determining which fan has failed, turn off the power to the system.
2. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the
chassis.
3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro: p/n FAN-0086L4).
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the
LED on the control panel has turned off.
7. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

Hard Drive Installation
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers
with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drive
bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in
the chassis.
Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so
that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Warning: Use caution when working around the hard drive 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.
Warning: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.

6-4 Power Supply
The SuperServer 6016T-6RFT+/6016T-6RF+ has a 700 watt redundant power
supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an autoswitching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at 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 PWR Fail LED
will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement
units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (part number PWS-703-P-1R). The
power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed
unit without powering down the system.
Removing the Power Supply
First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
1. Depress the locking tab on the power supply module.
2. Use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle (see Fig. 6-5).
Installing a New Power Supply
1. Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit.

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTU-6F+/X8DTU-6TF+.
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.
