Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 2027R-AR24
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 SuperServer 2027R-AR24 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 SuperServer 2027R­AR24. 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 SuperServer 2027R-AR24 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

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-AR24 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.

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.

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

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-AR24 User's Manual

2-5 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the 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 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.

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. These assemblies are specifi cally designed for the left and right
side of the chassis.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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.

Releasing the Inner Rail

Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails

1. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies as described on page 6-4.

2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated
below.

3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.

4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.

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.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

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

Reset

Use the reset button to reboot the system.

Power

This is the main power button, 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. Therefore, the system power cord should
be unplugged before performing service.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several 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.

3-1

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-AR24 User's Manual

Power Fail

Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will
take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be
replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing the power supply. This LED
should be off when the system is operating normally.

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED fl ashes, it indicates a fan failure. 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.

NIC1

Indicates network activity on the LAN1 port when fl ashing.

2

NIC2

Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when fl ashing.

3-2

Chapter 3: System Interface

HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 2027R-AR24, this LED indicates
hard and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when fl ashing.

Power

Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

Each drive carrier has two LEDs.

• Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the drive carrier indi-

cates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on
and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

• Red: The red LED indicates a drive failure. If one of the drives fail, you should

be notifi ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for
instructions on replacing failed drives.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to 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

SUPERSTORAGESYSTEM 2027R-AR24 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 Connecting Cables

The cables listed below should already be connected to the serverboard. These

include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

Connecting Data Cables

The 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 for connector locations.)

• SAS (SAS0 ~ SAS7) or SATA (I-SATA0 ~ 5) drive cables

• Control Panel cable (JF1)

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

Connecting Power Cables

The X9DRH-7TF has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (J22) for connec-

tion to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin 12V processor power

connectors (JPW1 and JPW2) that 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 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.

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 Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-6 Adding PCI Add-On Cards

The 2027R-AR24 can accommodate seven low-profi le PCI add-on cards.

Installing an Add-on Card

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

2. Fully seat the card into the slot, 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.

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 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.

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform main­tenance on the SC216A-R920LPB chassis. For component installation, follow the
steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If
some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.

Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform
maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.

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.

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.

System Fans

Three 8-cm hot-swap chassis fans provide the cooling for the 2027R-AR24. It is very
important that the chassis top cover is properly installed in order for the cooling air
to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-3.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via IPMI. If a fan fails, the remaining
fans 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.

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 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. The manufacturer
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 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 lad optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save

the current settings and exit the setup utility.
