Chapter 1: Introduction

1-6 Fat Twin: System Notes

As a FatTwin confi guration, the FatTwin F517H6-FT is a unique server system.
With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as four separate
nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.

Nodes

Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independant
nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,
each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis.
The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.

Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis
wall. This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much
force is used when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide
a node in until you hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.

System Power

Two high-effi ciency 94%+ Plus Platinum Level 1620 Watt power supplies are used
to provide the power for all serverboards. Each serverboard however, can be shut
down independently of the other with the power button on its own control panel.

SAS/SATA Backplane/Drives

As a system, the FatTwin F517H6-FT supports the use of fi fty-six (56) SAS/SATA
drives. Each of the backplanes in the system logically connects the internal fi xed

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your FatTwin F517H6-FT 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

Y ou should inspect the box the FatT win F517H6-FT 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 FatTwin F517H6-FT.
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 FatTwin F517H6-FT 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.

FatTwin F517H6-FT USER'S MANUAL

2-4 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

simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.

• Allow any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching

them.

• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

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.

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.

2-3

FatTwin F517H6-FT USER'S MANUAL

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 Rack Mounting Instructions

This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that
the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should
also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Note: This rail will fi t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep. The SCF418 is not
designed for installation into a Telco post-style rack unit.

Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are

designed to pull the system from a rack only.

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.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifi cally designed for the left and right
side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1).

Adjusting the Rails

Each rail assembly has an adjusting screw. loosening this screw allows you to adjust
the length of the rail to fi t a variety of rack sizes.

Locking Tabs

Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

2-6 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the SuperServer F517H6-FT in the rack, you will need to open
the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.

Accessing the inside of the System

Before operating the server for the fi rst time, it is important to remove the protective
fi lm covering the top of the chassis, in order to allow for proper ventilation and

cooling.

Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the server without
the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow proper airfl ow
and prevent overheating.

Checking the Components and Setup

1. You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heat sink installation.

2. Your SuperServer F517H6-FT server system may have come with system
memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots.
For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

3. If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI add-on cards.

4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airfl ow. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of
the fans. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-8

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SATA drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1. All drives are accessable from the front of the server. A hard drive can be
installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top
chassis cover.

2. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.

Checking the Airfl ow

1. Make sure there are no objects to obstruct airfl ow in and out of the server. In
addition, if you are using a front bezel, make sure the bezel's fi lter is replaced
periodically.

2. Do not operate the server without drives or drive trays in the drive bays. Use
only recommended server parts.

3. Make sure that no wires or foreign objects obstruct air fl ow through the
chassis. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path or use shorter cables.
The control panel LEDs inform you of the system status. See “Chapter 3
System Interface” for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.

Providing Power

1. Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) 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).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of
the overall status of the system. F414IS models include four control panels on the
handles of the chassis which control each of the systems.

This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate re­sponse you may need to take.

3-2 F414IS Front I/O Control Panel

The F414IS chassis include a power button with a built-in LED and features both
a LAN LED and a UID LED on each node's front control panel.

Figure 3-2: F414IS Node Control Panel

3-1

FatTwin F517H6-FT USER'S MANUAL

• Power: The main power button on each of the four control panels is used to

apply or remove power from the power supply to each of the four systems in
the chassis. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power,
but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug
system before servicing. The poer button has a built-in LED which will turn green
when the power is on.

• UID: When used with a UID compatible motherboard, the UID button is used

to turn on or off the blue light function of the LED. This is built into the front
side of the UID button and at the rear end of each motherboard node, for those
motherboards which support it. Once the blue light is activated, the unit can be
easily located in very large racks and server banks.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The four control panels are located on the front handle of the F414IS chassis.
Each control panel has two additional LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical
information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each
LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

• NIC: Indicates network activity on either LAN1 or LAN2 when fl ashing

Chapter 5

Advanced Motherboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X9SCFF-F motherboard
into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards.
All motherboard 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 motherboard
to better cool and protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Motherboard

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 motherboard 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 motherboard, 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 motherboard.

Unpacking

The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.

5-1

FatTwin F517H6-FT USER'S MANUAL

5-2 Connecting Cables

The FatTwin F517H6-FT server needs to have both power and data cables

connected to the X9SCFF-F serverboard.

Connecting SATA Power Cables

Various cables used to power each node's SATA drives are connected between the

serverboard and the drive's backplane board installed in the chassis. The following

cables are used for this connection:

• Four (4) 8pin to 2x2pin (50cm) and 2 SATA power connectors (46cm) and

(16cm) 18AWG power cables (CBL-0511L)

• Four (4) 8 pin to 2 2x2(50/60-cm) and 2 SATA (26+16-cm) 18AWG power

cables (CBL-0485L)

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 FatTwin F517H6-FT system uses the following data cables:

• Four (4) IPASS to 4 SATA 70-cm 30AWG cables (CBL-0237L-01)

• Four (4) IPASS to 4 SATA, 55, 45, 35, 30-cm 30AWG cables (CBL-0476L)

• Twenty (20) 55-cm 30AWG SATA cables

• Always use DDR3 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed.

• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed

of the slowest DIMM.

• The motherboard will support one DIMM module or three DIMM modules

installed. For best memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.

Connector

Pins

3 2 1

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the motherboard,
jumpers can be used to choose between
optional settings. Jumpers create shorts
between two pins to change the function
of the connector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with
a square solder pad on the printed circuit
board. See the diagram at right for an
example of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer
to the motherboard layout page for jumper
locations.

Note: On two-pin jumpers, "Closed" means
the jumper is on and "Open" means the
jumper is off the pins.

CMOS Clear

JBT1 is used to clear CMOS, which will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins,
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents
of CMOS.

To Clear CMOS

1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s). It is also
recommended that you remove the onboard battery from the serverboard.

2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such
as a small screwdriver.

3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).

4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Note 1. For an ATX power supply, you must completely shut down the system,
remove the AC power cord, and then short JBT1 to clear CMOS.

Note 2. Be sure to remove the onboard CMOS Battery before you short JBT1 to
clear CMOS.

Note 3. Clearing CMOS will also clear all passwords.
Note 4: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or gold contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic

bags when not in use.

• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-10 Installing the Motherboard

Compatible Motherboards

For the most up-to-date information on compatible motherboards and other parts,
visit the Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com.

Permanent and Optional Standoffs

Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and
the fl oor of the node. The F414IS chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by most motherboards. These standoffs use the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the F414IS accessories packaging.

Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these motherboards.

To use an optional standoff, compare the mounting holes in the motherboard with
those in the fl oor of the motherboard node. Then place a screw through the bottom
the node and secure the screw with a hexagonal nut (rounded side up).

Depending upon the confi guration of the motherboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed. Add or remove standoffs as needed.
