1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i lies the i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2,
a dual Intel Itanium2 processor serverboard designed to provide maximum perfor­mance. Below are the main features of the i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2.

Chipset

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 is based on Intel's E8870 chipset, which is a high­performance chipset designed for high-end server platforms (see Figure 1-1).

The Intel 8870 chipset consists of the four primary components: the Scalable Node
Controller (SNC), the Server I/O Hub (SIOH), the DDR Memory Hub (DMH), and the
Scalability Port Switch (SPS). Complementary components include the I/O Hub
Controller (Intel ICH4), the Firmware Hub (FWH), and the PCI Bus Bridge (P64H2).

The SNC is the main component in the processor/memory subsystem. It con­nects to four DDR memory hubs through four separate links to provide a peak
memory bandwidth of 6.4 GB/s. Each DDR Memory Hub connects to two branch
channels and supports up to four DDR SDRAM DIMMs per channel. The
Scalability Port (SP) provides simultaneous, bi-directional signaling with an ag­gregate bandwidth of 6.4 GB/sec per port. Two SP ports per SNC provide a
maximum bandwidth capability of 12.8 GB/s. The SNC delivers balanced, high­bandwidth throughput across the processors, memory and I/O.

The SIOH is the central component of the I/O subsystem and provides the
connection between four Hub Interface 2.0 ports and two Scalability Ports. The
the SIOH with four Hub Interfaces has a aggregate peak bandwidth of 4 GB/sec.
The SIOH also offers a Hub Interface 1.5 connection to legacy I/O and firmware
via the I/O Controller Hub (ICH4).

The DMH is a bridge for data transfers between the SNC and the two DDR
memory channels. Each DMH has a maximum throughput of 1.6 GB/s and sup­ports up to eight single or double density registered DIMMs.

The SPS is not used in the i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2.

1-2

Chapter 1: Introduction

Processors

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 supports single or dual Intel Itanium2 processors of
up to 1.50 GHz with a 6 MB L3 cache at a 400 MHz FSB. Please refer to the
support section of our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(http://www.supermicro.com/support/).

Memory

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 has eight 184-pin, DIMM slots that can support up to
16 GB of low-profile, registered ECC DDR200 (PC1600) SDRAM (DDR266 is
supported but at 200 MHz only). Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1
GB and 2 GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots. (This serverboard has
has been designed to support 2GB DIMM modules for each memory slot, but it has
only been validated with 1GB memory modules.)

PCI Expansion Slots

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 has one 64-bit, 133/100 MHz PCI-X slot available for
use in a 1U server configuration. A riser card is included with the server. This
riser card fits into a PCI-X slot on the serverboard and was designed specially for
the SC813HS-500/SC813Hi-500 chassis to support the use of one standard (full­length) PCI-X card.

ATI Graphics Controller

The i2DML-8G2/i2DML-iG2 features an integrated ATI video controller based on
the Rage XL graphics chip. Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and AGP
texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 512
MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.

Onboard Controllers/Ports

The i2DML-8G2 (only) includes an onboard LSI Ultra320 SCSI controller for dual­channel operation. Backpanel I/O ports on the 6113L-8/6113L-i include two COM
ports, two USB ports and a VGA (monitor) port. An Intel 82546EB Ethernet
controller provides support for two Gb LAN ports, which are also located on the
backpanel.

Cooling System

The SC813HS-500/SC813Hi-500 chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been
optimized to provide sufficient cooling for dual Itanium2 configurations. The
SC813HS-500/SC813Hi-500 includes two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located
in the middle of the chassis. These fans operate continuously at full rpm. If they
break down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will rise and activate
an overheat LED. In addition, a high-speed 4-cm fan is also included to increase
the flow of cooling air through the system.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6113L-8/
6113L-i up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i 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 specific com­ponents.

2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should
file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6113L-8/6113L-i. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields
are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be
sure to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i was shipped in should include two sets
of rail assemblies, six (four front and two rear) rail mounting brackets and screws
you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order
given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please
read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure out­lined in the sections that follow.

2-1

SUPERSERVER 6113L-8/6113L-i 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 sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

!

Warnings and Precautions!

!

Rack Precautions

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

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

- In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

- Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component

from the rack.

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

more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

- Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

- Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you

install the rails.

- Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack

first, and then work up.

- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the
server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your
system operating in case of a power failure.

- Allow the power supply units to cool before touching them.

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

the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-4 Installing the Server into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i
into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6113L-8/6113L-i 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 with the SuperServer 6113L­8/6113L-i. Each of these assemblies consists of two sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the 6113L-8/6113L-i and an outer fixed rack rail
that secures directly to the rack itself. A pair of short brackets to be used
on the front side of the outer rails are also included.

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 fit 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 first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in
place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming
completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6113L-8/6113L-i User's Manual

Figure 2-1. Installing the Rack Rails

Installing the Server into the Rack

You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack
unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by
lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on
both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
See Figure 2-2.

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.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6113L-86113L-8/6113L-i into a Telco type
rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The
only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack
brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to accommodate
the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6113L-8/6113L-i 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.

1. Accessing the inside of the 6113L-8/6113L-i (see Figure 2-4):

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the
two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will
hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front
of the top cover to help you push the cover away from you until it stops. You
can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside
of the server.

2. Check the CPUs (processors):

You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heatsink and power pod (VRM) installed. See
Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

3. Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting:

If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you may need to set the
correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the appropriate setting in BIOS
(Chapter 7) for setting the proper CPU speed. (Most processor speeds are
automatically detected so this step should be unnecessary.)

4. Check the system memory:

Your 6113L-8/6113L-i 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.

5. 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.

6. Check all cable connections and airflow:

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airflow. 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 peripheral drives and the SCSI/IDE
drives 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 CD­ROM and IDE drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover (not
necessary for SCSI drives). See Chapter 6 for details.

2. CD-ROM drive:

A slim CD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter
6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI/IDE disk drives:

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more SCSI (6113L-8) or IDE (6113L-i) drives already installed. If you need to
install SCSI/IDE drives, please refer to Chapter 6.

4. Check the airflow:

Airflow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans and one high-speed
4-cm fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct
sufficient cooling airflow 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 airflow 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 unit into a high-quality power strip that offers
protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you
use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the chassis control panel to keep you constantly
informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of
specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel
and an on/off switch on the power supply. This chapter explains the meanings
of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are
(in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.

RESET

! RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.

! POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off

the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the
main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of th SC813HS-500/SC813Hi-500 chassis
has four 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: Indicates an overheat condition in the chassis. This may be
caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system, or the ambient room
temperature being too warm. You should also check to make sure that the
chassis cover is installed and that all fans are present and operating normally.
Finally, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under the
blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the drive bay area
from the serverboard area of the chassis.

NIC2

! NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing .

NIC1

! NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing.

! HDD: Indicates SCSI/IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6113L-8/

6113L-i this light indicates SCSI/IDE and/or CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.
