1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ lies two H8DMT+/
H8DMT-INF+ dual processor serverboards, which are based on the nV idia MCP55V
Pro chipset. Below are the main features of the H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+. Note that
the features on each board are doubled for the server.
Processors
Each H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ supports dual AMD Opteron™ 2000 Series processors
(Socket F type). Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported
processors (www.supermicro.com/aplus).
Memory
The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ has sixteen single/dual channel DIMM slots that can
support up to 64 GB of ECC DDR2-667/533/400 registered ECC SDRAM. All
memory modules used to populate the system should be the same size, type and
speed.
Serial ATA
The MCP55V Pro chi p se t in cludes a Se rial ATA control l e r for 3 Gb/s SATA drives.
The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane that provides power,
bus termination and confi guration settings. RAID 0 and 1 a re supp or ted.
PCI Expansion Slots
Each H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ board has one PCI-Express x16 slot, so two PCIExpress x16 slots are provided in the server. In the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+
server confi guration, riser cards have been pre-installed to support two low-profi le
PCI-Express x16 add-on cards.
Ethernet Ports
An on-chip network controller is integrated into each of the serverboards to support
a total of four Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).
Onboard Controllers/Ports
Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, a VGA port, two USB ports, two
Gigabit LAN (NIC) ports and (on the 1021TM-INF+ only) an Infi niBand® (MT25204
controller) 20 Gbps port. There are two sets of I/O ports included in the server (one
set for each severboard).
1-2
Chapter 1: Introduction
!
Infi niBand Port Bracket: The Infi niBand port bracket is a small "U" shaped bracket
that secures the connector to the I/O port shield. This allows the I/O shield, not
the serverboard, to support the cable's weight. The bracket can be found on the
connector itself.
When installing the serverboard, remove the bracket from the Infi niBand port. Slide
the port through the shield, and then replace the bracket to secure the port to the
I/O shield.
XGI Graphics Controller
The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ features an integrated graphics controller based on
the XGI Z9S graphics chip. The Z9S consumes very little power (1-1.5W) and can
display output up to 1600x1200.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, a
chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU
overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC808TS-980 1U
chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.
System Power
When confi gured as a the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+, the SC808TS-980 includes
a single 980W cold-swap power supply, which provides the power to both serverboards housed in the chassis.
SATA Subsystem
The SC808TS-980 cha ssis was des igned to sup port f our SATA ha rd drives, which
are hot- swappa ble unit s.
Control Panel
The SC808TS-980 features two independant control panels associated with each
serverboard in the chassis. Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Each control
panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC808TS-980 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a slots for two
low-profi le PCI-E x16 expansion cards, two COM ports, four USB ports, two VGA
ports and four Gb Ethernet ports. The 1021TM-INF+ also provides two Infi niBand
ports. See Chapter 6 for details.
Cooling System
The SC808TS-980 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features two sets
of triple (for a total of six) 4-cm high-performance fans. A fan speed control setting
in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system temperature.

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual
1-4 1U Twin: System Notes
As a 1U Twin confi guration, the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ is a unique server sys-
tem. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis, there are several
points you should keep in mind.
System Power
A single 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.
Although they share a common power supply , the I
monitoring are received by the primary serverboard only. (When viewed from the
front of the chassis, the serverboard on the left is referred to as the primary board
and the serverboard on the right as the secondary.)
2
C signals used for power supply
SATA Backplane/Drives
As a system, the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ supports the use of four SATA drives.
The SATA backplane works as a single backplane divided into two sections. This
means that while a single power connector is used and functions such as overheating apply to both sections together, each pair of SATA drives is logically connected
to its own serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a two-drive scheme
(RAID cannot be spread across all four drives).

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+
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 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ 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 1021TM-T+/1021TMINF+. 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. Be sure to read the Rack
and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ 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).
2-1
AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual
!
!
Leave 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 according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
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
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.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
•
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
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.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ 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
The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures
directly to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to
the rack itself.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the next step.

Installing the Inner Rail Extension
The SC808 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner
rail extensions. The inner rails are preattached 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
Place the inner rack extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks 1.
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the preattached inner rail.
Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.2.

server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
(Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the 4.
server to the rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ in the rack, you will need to open
the top cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
Accessing the Inside of the System
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it 1.
locks (you will hear a "click").
Remove the four screws (two on the sides and two on the top) that secure 2.
the top cover to the chassis. Place your thumbs in the two rectangular recesses and push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it
stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to
the inside of the server (see Figure 2-5).
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in 3.
the chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to
continue to pull the system out past the locked position.
Checking the Components and Setup
You may have one or two processors already installed in each of the two 1.
serverboards. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. 2.
Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding
system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
You can install two add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on 3.
installing PCI add-on cards.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking 4.
the chassis airfl ow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Preparing to Power On
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.
Checking the SATA drives
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. The SATA disk drives 1.
can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing
the top chassis cover.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or 2.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by six sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two 1.
fans that are mounted back to back) and an air shroud. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the
components that generate the most heat.
Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they 2.
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.
Providing Power
Plug the power cords from the power supplies unit into a high-quality power 1.
strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).2.
Finally, depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.3.

3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the two control panels as well as others on the SATA
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 each control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators
and the appropriate response you may need to take. Note that the server has two
control panels, one for each serverboard installed in the system. This allows each
severboard to be controlled independently of the other.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-buttons located on each control panel: a reset button and a
power on/off button.
Reset
Depressing the reset button will reboot only the serverboard it is associated with.
Power
This is the main power button, which is used to apply or turn off the main system
power only to the serverboard it is connected to. Depressing this button removes
the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the serverboard.
