SUPERSERVER 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR User's Manual

1-5 2U Twin: System Notes

As a 2U Twin confi guration, the 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR is a unique server
system. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as two
separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.

Nodes

Each of the two serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independent
nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,
each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis.
The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.

Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis
wall. This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much
force is used when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide
a node in until you hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.

System Power

Dual 1280 Watt power supply is used to provide the power for both serverboards.
Each serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the
power button on its own control panel.

SAS Backplane/Drives

As a system, the 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR supports the use of twenty-four (24)
SAS/SA T A drives (twelve per serverboard). A single SAS/SAT A controller card works
to apply system-based control for logically connecting a set of twelve SAS3/SATA3
one mSATA and one SATADOM drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID
setup is limited to a twelve drive scheme for each node (RAID cannot be spread
across all twenty-four drives). See the Drive Bay Installation/Removal section in
Chapter 6 for the logical hard drive and node confi guration.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR 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 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR server 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
2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR server. It should be situated in a clean, dust­free 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 SuperServer 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR 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) 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).

• 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

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 any hot plug 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

Rack Mounting Considerations

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.

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.

2-4

SUPERSERVER 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR User's Manual

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.).

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR
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 from the instructions
provided. 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 26.5" and 36.4" deep.

Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are

designed to pull the system from a rack only.

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.

Warning: Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a
work space.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail (see Figure 2-1). These assemblies are specifi cally designed for
the left and right side of the chassis.

Locking Tabs

Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install tCPUs and memory, 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).

• T ouch 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.

5-2

SUPERSERVER 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR User's Manual

5-2 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.

Notes:

• Always remove the power cord before adding, removing or changing a CPU.

• 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.

• If you buy a CPU separately , use only an Intel-certifi ed, multi-directional heatsink.

• Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package.

• Install the processor into the CPU socket before installing the heatsink.

• Refer to the Su permi cro web site for up dates on C PU suppo rt .

1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the
notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module
incorrectly (see Figure 5-2).

2. Install starting with slot P1/DIMMA1.

3. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.

4. With two CPUs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM slots.

5. See the tables that follow for details on populating the DIMM slots.

Note: It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the system
before installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our website for
memory that has been tested on the X10DRT-P/PIBF/PT serverboard. For best
performance, use memory modules of the same type and speed in the same bank.

Memory Support

The X10DRT-P/PIBF/PT has sixteen (16) DIMM slots supporting up to 1 TB
of LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) or 512 GB of RDIMM (Registered DIMM)
DDR4-2133/1866/1600 MHz registered ECC memory.

Note: Check the Supermicro website (www.supermicro.com) for the latest memory

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.

• T ouch 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, expansion 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.

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.

6-7 System Fans

Four fans provide cooling for the chassis. These fans circulate air through the
chassis as a means of lowering the chassis internal temperature. The SC217 system
fans are easy-to-change modules. There is no need to uninstall any other parts
inside the system when replacing fans, and no tools are required for installation.
These fans are NOT redundant, hot-plug and must be replaced when they fail.

Compatible Motherboards

Most Supermicro cableless Twin series motherboards are compatible with the
SC217 chassis. For the most up-to-date information on compatible motherboards
and other parts, visit the Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com.

Hot-swappable motherboards feature different adapter cards, depending upon the
motherboard. Adapter cards are optional and are not included with the chassis. For
information on ordering adapter cards, see the appendix of this manual or visit the
Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com.

Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and
the chassis surface. The SC217 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by the motherboards. These standoffs accept the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SC217 accessories packaging.

Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components or
non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these motherboards.

To use an optional standoff, you must place a hexagonal screw through the bottom
the chassis and secure the screw with the hexagonal nut (rounded side up).

Depending upon the confi guration of the motherboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed.

Chapter 7

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10DRT-P/PIBF/PT. The
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 screens.

Note: For AMI BIOS recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.

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 AMI 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>, <F4>, <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.

7-2

SUPERSERVER 2028TP-DECR/DECTR/DECFR User's Manual

How to Start the Setup Utility

Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identifi cation string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen, below the copyright message.

Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall
Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages
arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset
the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.

7-2 Main Setup

When you fi rst enter the AMI BIOS setup utility , you will enter the Main setup screen.
You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the
top of the screen. The Main BIOS setup screen is shown below.
