Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your A+ SERVER 1022G-URF
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 A+ SERVER 1022G-URF 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 1022G-URF. 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 A+ SERVER 1022G-URF 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.

Warnings and Precautions!
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).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
•
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
Rack Precautions
Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to •
the 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.
Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-3
Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-•
ing them.
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers •
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
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.).

came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner 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 (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Proceed to the next step.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(right side rail shown)
Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach
a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear
side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper
distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the
front side of the outer rail with two screws and the long bracket to the rear side of
the outer rail with three screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
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.
Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails

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 2-3 for details.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".

Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the 1022G-URF into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on
either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will
extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the
weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then
attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish
by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1022G-URF 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
First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out 1.
until it locks (you will hear a "click").
Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover 2.
(1).
Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis) until it stops 3.
(2). 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 4.
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
You may have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. 1.
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.
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for 3.
details on 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 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
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 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.
A slim DVD-ROM drive should be preinstalled in your server. For servicing 2.
the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. Refer to
Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.
Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or 3.
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.
2-10
A+ SERVER 1022G-URF User's Manual
Checking the Airfl ow
Airfl ow is provided by four sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of 1.
two fans that are mounted back to back). 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
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the 1.
power cords from the power supply modules into a high-quality power strip
that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges.
It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).2.

System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/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 the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply. This chapter
explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may
need to take.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis: a reset button, a
UID button and a power on/off button.
UID
Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both the front and
rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gurations. The LED
will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the
rear of the chassis serves the same function.
Reset
Use the reset button to reboot the system.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the A+ SERVER 1022G-URF from damage:
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well •
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.•
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-•
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules
and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the
operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords. The unit has more than
one power supply cord. Disconnect two power supply cords before servicing to
avoid electrical shock.
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 necessary.
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.
4-2
A+ SERVER 1022G-URF User's Manual
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be •
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure •
that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).
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 unconventional 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 1012G-MTF clean and free of clutter.•
The 1022G-URF weighs approximately 40 lbs (18.1kg) 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.
Chapter 4: System Safety
4-3
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.
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.
4-4
A+ SERVER 1022G-URF User's Manual
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent •
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
4-4 Operating Precautions
!
Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 1022GURF is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system
can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) 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 in preconfi gured systems 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 reroute them as they were originally after
reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you
are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their serverboard connector locations noted) should
be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector
locations.
DVD-ROM drive cable (USB4)•
SAS cable (connects to optional UIO SAS controller card)•
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)•

The H8DGU-F has a 20 - pin prim ary p ower supply c onnec tor desi gnated "JPW1"
for con nec ti on to th e ATX power supp ly. Conne ct th e app ropr iate c on nec tor f rom
the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Defi nitions sec tion in t his ch apter for p ower con necto r pin defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connectors at JPW2 and JPW3.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each
header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their

5-12 Enabling SATA RAID
Now that the hardware is set up, you must install the operating system and the
SATA RAID drivers, if you wish to use RAID with your SATA drives. The installation
procedure differs depending on whether you wish to have the operating system
installed on a RAID array or on a separate non-RAID drive. See the instructions
below for details.
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface that employs a single cable with a
minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. This
connection is a serial link that supports a SATA transfer rate from 150 MBps. The
serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel
ATA (PATA) and can extend up to one meter in length, compared to only 40 cm for
PATA cables. Overall, SATA provides better functionality than PATA.
Installing the OS/SATA Driver
Before installing the OS (operating system) and SA TA RAID driver, you must decide
if you wish to have the operating system installed as part of a bootable RAID array
or installed to a separate non-RAID hard drive. If on a separate drive, you may
install the driver either during or after the OS installation. If you wish to have the
OS on a SATA RAID array, you must follow the procedure below and install the
driver during the OS installation.
Building a Driver Diskette
Y ou must fi rst build a driver diskette from the Supermicro CD-ROM that was included
with the system. (You will have to create this disk on a computer that is already
running and with the OS installed.)
Building a Driver Diskette
Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and start the system. A display as 1.
shown in Figure 5-7 will appear.
Click on the icon labeled "Build Driver Diskettes and Manuals" and follow the 2.
instructions to create a fl oppy disk with the driver on it.
Once it's been created, remove the fl oppy and insert the installation CD for 3.

Supero Doctor III
The Supero Doctor III program is a Web base management tool that supports remote
management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local
management is called SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the
CD-ROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment
and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information
such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below
for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.
Note: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN /
ADMIN.
Note: When SuperDoctor III is fi rst installed, it adopts the temperature threshold
settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds
must be made within Super Doctor, as the Super Doctor settings override the BIOS
settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would fi rst need
to uninstall SuperDoctor III.

6-3 System Fans
Four 4-cm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the A+
SERVER 1022G-URF. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined backto-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates
exceptional airfl ow and works to dampen vibration levels. It is very important that
the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the
cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See
Figure 6-2.

System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the
control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with
the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which
of the two fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan.
Removing the power cords is also recommended as a safety precaution.
Replacing System Fans
After determining which fan has failed, turn off the power to the system.1.
Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the 2.
chassis.
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (available from 3.
Supermicro: p/n FAN-0086L4).
Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure 4.
the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same
direction as the arrows on the other fans.

Hard Drive Installation
The hard 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 drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis.
Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier
Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so 1.
that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.2.

!
Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch
the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables
touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.

6-5 Power Supply
The A+ SER VER 1022G-URF has a 700 watt redundant power supply confi guration
consisting of two hot-swap power modules. The power supply modules have an
auto-switching capability, which enables them to automatically sense and operate
with a 100V - 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full
load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The Universal
Information LED on the control panel will blink slowly and remain so until the failed
module has been replaced. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from
Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). The power supply modules
have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed module without
powering down the system.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the A+ SERVER 1022G-URF.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup
screens.
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
message. 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
processors in the system and the amount of memory installed in the system.

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
procedure. 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.
