Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-

WRF4+ 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, pro-

cessors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each

step for details on installing specic components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ was shipped in and

note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should

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 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 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 sufcient air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.

Rack Precautions

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

the 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 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 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.

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 Airow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of air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.).

2-4

SUPERSERVER 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the server 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 xed chassis rail that secures directly

to the server chassis and an outer xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack

itself (see Figure 2-1).

Note: The rails will t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Inner Rails and Inner Rail Extensions

Extensions

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Inner Rails

The SC119 chassis inner rails are composed of two sections: inner rails and inner

rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use

of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension

to stabilize the chassis within the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks

of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces

"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.

2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail extension.

Outer Rails

Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack

1. Attach the shorter outer rail to the outside of the longer outer rail. You must

align the pins with the slides. Both bracket ends must face the same direction.

2. Adjust the outer rails so that they t snugly within the rack.

3. Secure the longer outer rail to the front of the rackl with two screws

4. Secire the shorter outer rail to the rear rack with three screws.

5. Repeat steps 1-4 for the remaining outer rail.

Locking Tabs

Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The 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.

Installing the Server into the Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Rack (Figure 2-4)

1. Conrm that the chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions, and

conrm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.

2. Align the inner rails on the chassis with the front of the outer rails on the rack.

3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both

sides (it may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When

the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the

locking tabs click into the locked position.

4. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the chas-

sis to the rack.

SUPERSERVER 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ User's Manual

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the chassis into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either

side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far 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.

Chapter 3

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive

carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well

as the activity and health of specic components. There are also three 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 three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: UID button, a reset

button and a power on/off button.

UID

Depressing the UID (unit identier) button illuminates an LED on both the front and

rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack congurations. The LED

will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the

rear of the chassis serves the same function.

Reset

The reset button is used to reboot the system.

Power

The main power switch 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 SC119TQ chassis has 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.

Information LED

This LED will be blue when the UID function has been activated. When this LED

ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an overheat

condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airow in the system or

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm

and the SuperServer 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ 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 in-

stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules

and oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should rst power down the

system with the operating system rst and then unplug the power cords of all

the power supply units 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 neces-

sary.

•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 static electrical discharge as protection

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specically

designed as electrical insulators.

•The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets. The unit has more than one power

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 suf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 the board from the 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.

!

•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.

•After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure

it to the rack unit after ensuring that all connections have been made.

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the

X9DRW-3TF+/X9DRW-3LN4F+ 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 nished working on the serverboard

to protect and cool the system sufciently.

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 suf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 precongured systems to prevent them from blocking the 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 conguring the system, keep the airow in mind when routing the cables.

The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connect-

ed. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.

•SAS cables (SAS0 ~ SAS3, SAS4 ~ SAS7)

•Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)

Connecting Power Cables

The X9DRW-3TF+/X9DRW-3LN4F+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector

designated "JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropri-

ate connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard.

See the Connector Denitions section in this chapter for power connector pin

denitions.

In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor 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 Denitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-

tions of JF1.

PCI Expansion Slots

The X9DRW-3TF+/X9DRW-3LN4F+ has one Universal PCI slot. Riser cards

installed to the system allow you to add PCI expansion cards (see below). The

SC119TQ-R700WB chassis can support the use of two standard size (full-height,

half-length) expansion cards and one low-prole (4.1" 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 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.

5-9 Jumper Settings

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 identied with a

square solder pad on the printed cir-

cuit board. See the diagram at right for

an example of jumping pins 1 and 2.

Refer to the serverboard layout page

for jumper locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed"

means the jumper is on and "Open"

means the jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and 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.

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 suf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.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting (Fan Speed

Control Modes). 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.

Adding a System Fan to Open Fan Housing

1. Turn off the power to the system and unplug the AC power cords.

2. Remove the dummy fan from the fan tray.

3. Place 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 direc-

tion as the arrows on the other fans.

4. Connect the fan wires to the fan headers on the serverboard.

5. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before re-

placing the chassis cover.

Replacing System Fans

1. After determining which fan has failed, turn off the power to the system.

2. Unplug the fan wiring from the serverboard and remove the failed fan.

3. Place 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 direc-

tion as the arrows on the other fans.

4. Reconnect the fan wiring to the exact same chassis fan header as the previ-

ous fan used.

5. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly before re-

placing the chassis cover.

Hard Drive Installation

The SC119 chassis accepts eight hot-swappable 2.5" hard drives. 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 airow for the drive bays. For this reason,

even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.

Removing Hard Drive Carrier from the Chassis

1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier

handle.

2. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.

Figure 6-3. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier

!

Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive car-

riers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airow.

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 airow.

Installing a Hard Drive into a Drive Carrier

1. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier, by

removing the screws securing the dummy drive to the carrier. Note that these

screws cannot be reused on the actual 2.5" hard drive.

2. Insert a drive into the carrier with the PCB side facing down and the connec-

tor end toward the rear of the carrier.

3. Align the drive in the carrier so that the screw holes of both line up. Note that

there are holes in the carrier marked “SAS” to aid in correct installation.

4. Secure the drive to the carrier with four M3 screws as illustrated below.

5. Insert the drive carrier into its bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the

hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right

side. When the carrier reaches the rear of the bay, the release handle will

retract.

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 precongured, so there are no jumpers or switches

present on it.

DVD-ROM Drive Installation

As an option, a slim DVD-ROM may be installed in the 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-

WRF4+.

Installing or Replacing a DVD-ROM Drive

1. Power down the system and if necessary, remove the server from the rack.

6-4 Power Supply

The SuperServer 1027R-WRFT+/1027R-WRF4+ has a 700 watt redundant power

supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-

switching 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. Replace-

ment units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. 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

1. First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.

2. Depress the locking tab on the power supply module.

3. Use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DRW-3LN4F+/X9DRW­3TF+. It also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup

utility screens. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be

easily updated.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system

is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup

screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,

<F4>, 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 congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be

con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. The manufacturer

retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes-

sages.

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 setup

navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

Note 2: <F3> is used to load optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save

the settings and exit the setup utility.
