Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 5038ML-H8TRF 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.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the 5038ML-H8TRF 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 5038ML-H8TRF.
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 5038ML-H8TRF may have come with hardware to mount it into a server rack. If
mounting to a rack with the rail kit, 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) 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).

2-1

SUPERSERVER 5038ML-H8TRF User's Manual

• This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices

acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to

the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from it.

• 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 SATA 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.

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

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

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.).

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.

SUPERSERVER 5038ML-H8TRF User's Manual

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

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.

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 that 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.

The main power button on the control panel functions as both an on/off switch and
as an LED. The LED illuminates green when powered-on and is not illuminated
when powered-off.

• A quick press of less than fi ve seconds will sequentially power-on all of the

nodes in order from one to eight.

• Pressing the button for longer than fi ve seconds will sequentially power-

down the nodes in order from one to eight.

Turning off system power with this button removes the main power, but keeps
standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must completely unplug
system from any power source before servicing the chassis. This does not apply
to hot-swappable hard drives, motherboard nodes and system fans.

Chapter 5

Advanced Motherboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to 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 server 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.

5-1

SUPERSERVER 5038ML-H8TRF User's Manual

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.

5-2 Connecting Cables

The 5038ML-H8TRF server was designed as a cableless system. As a result, all
power and data connections to the motherboard nodes are made whenever a node
is installed into its bay in the chassis. This covers the main power connection, the
control panel connections and the data and power connections for the SATA drives.

5-3 I/O Ports

The I/O ports are located at the back of the motherboard node. See Figure 5-1
below for the locations of the various I/O ports.

5-4 Installing the Processor and Heatsink

Caution: Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor package. Always

remove the power cord fi rst before adding, removing or changing any hardware
components.

Notes:

• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-

moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.

• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certifi ed multi-

directional heatsink only.

• Make sure to install the motherboard into the chassis before you install the

CPU heatsinks.

• When receiving a motherboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that

the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.

• Refer to the Sup ermi cro web s ite for upd ates on CPU su ppor t.

Installing an LGA1150 Processor

1. Gently press down the load plate
handle and push it outward (to the
right side) to unlock it.

8. When the CPU is securely locked into the CPU socket, the plastic cap will be
automatically loosened from the load plate. Use your thumb and index fi nger
to remove the plastic cap from the socket.

The plastic cap will pop
open when the CPU is
properly installed in
the socket. Remove the
cap from the socket.

Warning: You can install the CPU inside the socket only in one direction. Make sure

that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the load plate. If it
doesn't close properly, do not force it, as that may damage your CPU. Instead, open
the load plate again and check whether the CPU is properly aligned and securely
seated inside the socket.

SUPERSERVER 5038ML-H8TRF User's Manual

Installing a CPU Heatsink

1. Remove power from the system
and unplug the AC power cord
from the power supply.

2. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die;
the required amount has already
been applied.

3. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on
the (preinstalled) heatsink reten­tion mechanism.

4. Screw in two diagonal screws
(i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws)
until just snug. Do not fully
tighten the screws or you may
damage the CPU.)

5. Add the two remaining screws
then fi nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.

Removing the Heatsink

1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the motherboard in the sequence
as show in the picture above.

2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do
not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)

3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU socket.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you
re-install a heatsink.

Note: see Chapter 6 for details on installing the air shroud.

Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup

5-5 Installing Memory

Warning: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent

any possible damage.

Installing DIMMs

1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the DIMM slots, starting with DIM­MA2. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent
incorrect installation. Use memory modules of the same type and speed.

2. Retract the slot's release tabs then insert the DIMM module vertically. Push
down until it and snaps into place. Repeat to install more memory if needed.

Memory Support

Each X10SLD-F supports up to 32GB of ECC Unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3­1600/1333/1066 memory in four slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a
pair of memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved
memory, which will improve memory performance. Please refer to the table below:

To In st al l : Inser t
module vertically
and pre ss dow n
until it s naps i nto
place. Pay attention
to the alignment
notch at t he bo tto m.

5-9 Jumper Settings

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 motherboard layout pages for
jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

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 motherboard.

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 onboard battery and power on the system.

Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

SuperDoctor III

The SuperDoctor® III program is a web-based management tool that supports
remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.
The local management is called SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program allows
you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III
displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages
and fan status. See the fi gures below for examples of the SuperDoctor 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 SuperDoctor III, as the SuperDoctor III settings override the
BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would
fi rst need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SLD-F/X10SLD-HF.
The 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.

Note: For AMI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow
keys, etc.

Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.

How To Change the Confi guration Data

The confi guration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
