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 nVidia 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™ 2300/2200 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 chipset includes a Serial ATA controller 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 are supported.

PCI Expansion Slots

Each H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ board has one PCI-Express x16 slot, so two PCI-

Express 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 server-

boards housed in the chassis.

SATA Subsystem

The SC808TS-980 chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives, which

are hot-swappable units.

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, net-

work 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.

1-5

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 overheat-

ing 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+/1021TM-

INF+. 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 accord-

ing 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 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 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 connec-

tions 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. Pro-

ceed 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.

2-5 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 con-

nections 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 recess-

es 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.

2-8

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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 compo-

nent 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.

3-1 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.

3-1

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

Each of the two control panels located on the front of the SC808TS-980 chassis has

fi ve LEDs. Each LED provides you with critical information related its own specifi c

serverboard. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and

any corrective action you may need to take.

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.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

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

and the SuperServer 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ 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 install-

•

ing main system components, such as the serverboard and memory modules.

When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the system with the

operating system fi 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 specifi cally

designed as electrical insulators.

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

•

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-1

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual

Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

•

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure

4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type

recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the

manufacturer's instructions.

•

DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a

DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous

radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon-

ventional way.

•

Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service

technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one

replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

!

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

Keep the area around the 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ clean and free of clutter.

•

The 1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ weighs approximately 40 lbs (~18.2 kg) when

•

fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly

with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight

and lift with your legs.

Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-

•

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be

stepped on.

While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

•

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or

be pulled into a cooling fan.

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.

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

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

•

it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections

have been made.

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 suffi 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.

4-3

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual

4-4 Operating Precautions

!

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1021TM-

T+/1021TM-INF+ is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to

the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+

serverboard into the SC808TS-980 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 H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ 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

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrostatic 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 H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+

into the SC808TS-980 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.

Accessing the Inside of the System

Remove all four screws securing the top cover of the chassis: two at the top

1.

rear of the cover and one on each side lip, also near the back.

Place both thumbs in the indentations and push the cover back until it slides

2.

off.

Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the serv-

3.

er. (If already installed in a rack, you must fi rst release the retention screws

that secure the unit to the rack, then grasp the two handles on either side and

pull the unit straight out until the rails lock into place. See Figure 2-5.)

Check Compatibility of Serverboard Ports and I/O Shield

The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ in a Twin 1U confi guration requires the use of

1.

Supermicro's specially designed 1U Twin chassis: the SC808TS-980.

Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboards align properly with their

2.

respective holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis when installing.

Mounting the Serverboard onto the Serverboard Tray

Carefully mount the serverboards by aligning the board holes with the raised

1.

metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis.

Insert screws into all the mounting holes on your serverboards that line up

2.

with the standoffs and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you

might strip the threads).

Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the serverboard ground to pro-

3.

vide a continuous ground for the system.

5-2

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

5-3 Connecting Cables

Now that the serverboards are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to

the boards. 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 serverboard layout

for connector locations.) Note that each connection listed should be made for both

serverboards in the chassis.

SATA drive cables (SATA0 ~ SATA1)

•

Control Panel cable (JF1)

•

Connecting Power Cables

The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ has two 20-pin proprietary power supply connectors

for connection to the power supply. Only one of these from each board should

be connected to the power supply. JWR1 is used to supply power to the primary

serverboard and JWR2 is used to supply power to the secondary serverboard.

Connect the power supply to only one of these on both boards (primary = left,

secondary = right when viewed from front of server). See Section 5-9 for power

connector pin defi nitions.

5-3

AS1021TM-T+/1021TM-INF+ User's Manual

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.

Note: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB and 4 GB memory modules are supported.

It is highly recommended that you remove the power cord from the system before

installing or changing memory modules. Please refer to our web site for memory

that has been tested on the H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+.

Support

The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ supports single or dual-channel, DDR2-667/533/400

registered ECC SDRAM. Only interleaved memory is supported, so you must

populate two DIMM slots at a time (see procedure above).

Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and

type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved

(64-bit) memory.

Maximum Memory

64 GB of DDR2-667/533/400 registered ECC SDRAM in each serverboard.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-

nance on the SC808TS-980 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. 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 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.

6-2 Control Panel

Each control panel on the front of the chassis must be connected to the JF1 con-

nector on its assiciated serverboard to provide you with system control buttons and

status indicators. (When viewed from the front of the chassis, the serverboard on

the left is referred to as the primary serverboard and the serverboard on the right

as the secondary.)

These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to simplify the connection.

Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the control panel PCB (printed

circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all

excess cabling out of the airfl ow path. The LEDs inform you of system status for

the serverboard it is connected to. See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the

control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

6-3 System Fans

Each serverboard has its own set of three 4-cm high-performance fans (for a total of

six in the chassis) to provide the cooling for the SuperServer 1021TM-T+/1021TM-

INF+. Fan speed may be controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7).

6-2

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

System Fan Failure

If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail

LED on the control panel will blink on and off. 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 deter-

mine which of the fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a

fan. Removing the power cord is also recommended as a safety precaution.

Note: the fan fail LED will only give indication of a fan failure when the Fan Speed

setting in the BIOS is set to "3-pin Server".

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

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 SATA drives.

Use caution when working around the SATA backplane. Do not

touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no

!

SATA Drive Installation

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.

Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier

Install the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down

1.

so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.

Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

2.

cables touch the backplane. Also, regardless of how many SATA

drives are installed, all four drive carriers must remain in the

chassis to maintain proper airfl ow.

This power supply has the capability of operating at 100 - 240 input volts. Depress

both main power buttons on the front of the chassis and then unplug the AC power

cord to completely remove power from the system before removing the power

supply.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace

the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro

(PWS-981-1S - see contact information in Chapter 1).

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a fl ash chip and can be easily upgraded using a

fl oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added

or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual

Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that may not be refl ected

in this manual.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.

(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the 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 screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options

that can be confi gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be confi gured. The right frame

displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text mes-

sage. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often

a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built

in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A "

" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter>

key will open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most

of these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used

at any time during the setup navigation process.

7-2 Main Menu

When you fi rst enter AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will see the Main Menu screen.

You can always return to the Main Menu by selecting the Main tab on the top of

the screen with the arrow keys.

The Main Menu screen provides you with a system overview, which includes the

version, built date and ID of the AMIBIOS, the type, speed and number of the pro-

cessors in the system and the amount of memory installed in the system.

System Time/System Date

You can edit this fi eld to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time

or System Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard.

Press the <Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fi elds. The date must

be entered in DAY/MM/DD/YYYY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

Please note that time is in a 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. appears as

05:30:00 and 5:30 P.M. as 17:30:00.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time

the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the

boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up pro-

cedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer

for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The

numbers on the fatal error list (on the following page) correspond to the number

of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep

Code 8, are fatal errors.
