Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MTQ chassis.
System Power
When confi gured as a SuperServer 6016T-MTHF, the SC813MTQ chassis includes
a single 600W power supply. When confi gured as a SuperServer 6016T-MTLF, the
SC813MTQ chassis includes a single 350W power supply.
SATA Subsystem
For the 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF, the SC813MTQ chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hot-swap capability of the SATA drives (system-based RAID is not available for
SATA).
Control Panel
The SC813MTQ's control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and
system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power button
and a system reset button. The front of the SC813MTQ also includes a COM port
and two USB serial ports for easy access.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC813MTQ is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one PCI
motherboard expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports,
a parallel (printer) port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA port and two Gb
Ethernet ports.
Cooling System
The SC813MTQ chassis has an innovative cooling design that features four 4-cm
high-performance system cooling fans and an air shroud. Each of these fans plug
into a chassis fan header on the motherboard. An air shroud channels the airfl ow
generated by the fans to effi ciently cool the processor area of the system.
A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system
temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pin (Server)].

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6016TMTHF/6016T-MTLF up and running. Following the steps in the order given should
enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This
quick setup assumes that your 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF system has come to you
with the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor, 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 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF 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 6016TMTHF/6016T-MTLF. 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 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF was shipped in should include
two sets of rail assemblies, six 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 minimal 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
Page 18
SUPERSERVER 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF 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 SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
ing them.
2-2
Page 19
Chapter 2: Server Installation
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
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.).

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6016T-MTHF/6016TMTLF into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server 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 may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 6016TMTHF/6016T-MTLF. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one
on each side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails
are left/right specifi c.
Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of
the chassis when you face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes on
the rail against the hooks on the right side of the chassis. Securely attach the rail
to the chassis with M4 fl at head screws. Repeat these steps to install the left rear
inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). You will also need to attach
the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
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.
2-4
Page 21
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Figure 2-1. Installing Rear Inner Chassis Rails
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF in
the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis
rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing
the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets
provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that
both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
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

SUPERSERVER 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF User's Manual
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".

(with optional front bezel shown)
Note: this fi gure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bot-
tom of a rack fi rst.
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.
2-6
Page 23
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the SuperServer 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF 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 rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the
brackets to the rack.
Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
(with optional front bezel shown)
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.

Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the X8DTL-iF serverboard into
the SC813MTQ chassis, 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 X8DTL-iF 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
Page 52
SUPERSERVER 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF User's Manual
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.
5-2 Serverboard Installation
This section explains the fi rst step of physically mounting the X8DTL-iF into the
SC813MTQ chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most
common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the serverboard,
follow the procedure in reverse order.
Installing to the Chassis
1. Remove the screws from the rear lip of the chassis cover (see Figure 2-5).
2. Release the top cover by pushing it 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
3. Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align properly with their
respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
4. Carefully mount the serverboard to the serverboard tray by aligning the board
holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.
5. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboard that line up with
the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you might
strip the threads).
Note: Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to
provide a continuous ground for the system.
Warning: To avoid damaging the serverboard and its components, do not apply
any force greater than 8 lbs. per square inch when installing a screw into a mounting hole.
5-2
Page 53
Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the serverboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
board. 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 on page 5-9 for connector locations.)
• SATA drive cables (I-SATA0 ~ I-SATA3)
• SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO0)
• Control Panel cable (JF1)
Connecting Power Cables
The X8DTL-iF has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1) for connection
to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin processor power connectors (JPW2/JPW3) that also 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 ribbon 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.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC813MTQ 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
maintainance 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 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.
• 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.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Four 4-cm high-performance fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 6016TMTHF/6016T-MTLF. The chassis includes air seals under the fans and at the chassis
cross section, which separates the drive bay area from the serverboard area of the
chassis to promote better airfl ow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly
installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly
through the chassis.
The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,
which results in more effi cient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled
by a setting in BIOS.
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your
vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Removing the Front Bezel
If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must fi rst
remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, fi rst unlock the
front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully remove the bezel with both hands. A fi lter located within the bezel can be removed
for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of
fi lter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airfl ow throughout the
whole system.

SUPERSERVER 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF User's Manual
Accessing the Drive Bays
SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SATA drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions. Note: The operating system you use must
have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the drives.
DVD-ROM Drive (optional): For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need
to gain access to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section in this chapter for instructions.
Note that only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fi t into the 6016T-MTHF/6016T-MTLF.
Warning! Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro Web
site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/fi les/storage/SAS-1-CompList-110909.

SATA Drive Installation
Mounting a Drive in a Drive Carrier
The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the
system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain
in the chassis.
1. Install a new 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 6-4.
Installing/Removing SATA Drives
1. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.
2. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see
Figure 6-5).
Note: There is no onboard RAID support for SATA drives.
Warning! Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not touch the
backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane.
Also, regardless of how many drives are installed, all four drive carriers must remain
in the chassis to maintain proper airfl ow.

(see contact infomation in Chapter 1).
Replacing the Power Supply
To replace a power supply, you must fi rst remove the top chassis cover. Follow the
procedure on the previous page.
1. First unplug the power cord from the system.
2. To remove the failed power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the
power supply, which secure it to the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight
out of the chassis.
3. Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly
recommended to replace it with the exact same power supply.
4. Carefully insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the
two screws at the rear of the unit.
5. Before reconnecting the power cord, make sure the power switch on the
power supply is in the off position. Then reconnect the power cord, replace
the chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack.

7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X8DTL-iF motherboard.
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 <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.
