1-3 Mainboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5010H/5010E lies the 370SSR+/370SSE+, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the 370SSR+/370SSE+.

Chipset Overview

Intel’s 815E chipset is made up of three main components: the Graphics and
Memory Controller Hub (GMCH), the I/O Controller Hub (ICH) and the Firm­ware Hub (FWH). The GMCH integrates a 133/100/66 MHz system bus
controller, a 2D/3D graphics accelerator (AGP2x/4x) discrete graphics card,
a 133/100 MHz SDRAM controller and a high-speed hub architecture inter­face that communicates with the ICH. The ICH integrates a UDMA/100 con­troller, USB controllers and other I/O functions (see below). The FWH
stores both system and video BIOS and includes a Random Number Genera­tor (RNG).

Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)

The GMCH includes the host (CPU) interface, DRAM interface, ICH2 inter­face and 4xAGP interface for the 815E chipset. It contains advanced power
management logic and supports dual channels for DRAM. The AGP 2.0
interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak bandwidth of
1066 MB/sec. The MCH host interface bus runs at 133/100/66 MHz.

I/O Controller Hub (ICH2)

The ICH2 is the I/O Controller Hub subsystem on the 370SSR+/370SSE+,
which integrates many of the Input/Output functions of the 815E chipset,
including UDMA/100 Bus Master IDE controllers. It also provides the inter­face to the PCI Bus and communicates with the MCH over a dedicated hub
interface. In addition to the UDMA/100 Bus Master IDE controllers, this
powerful ICH2 also includes two USB controllers that offer 24 Mbps of
bandwidth across three ports. ICH2 also features an enhanced AC'97
interface that supports full surround sound for the Dolby Digital Audio used
on DVDs.

Firmware Hub (FWH)

The FWH is a component that brings added security and manageability to
the PC platform infrastructure. This device includes an integrated Random

1-5

Chapter 1: Introduction

Number Generator (RNG) for stronger encryption, digital signing and secu­rity protocols. The FWH stores the system BIOS and video BIOS to eliminate
a redundant nonvolatile memory component.

Processors

The 370SSR+/370SSE+ supports single 370-pin Pentium III FCPGA 600 MHz­1 GHz and Celeron FCPGA/PPGA 300-700 MHz processors with Front Side
Bus Speeds of 133/100/66 MHz. Please refer to the support section of our
web site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://
www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).

Memory

The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has three (3) 168-pin DIMM 250 sockets that can
support up to 512 MB of unbuffered PC133 and PC100 SDRAM. Module
sizes of 128MB, 256MB, and 512MB may be used to populate the DIMM
slots. The DIMM slots are situated at a 25 degree angle to create a low
profile and to promote efficient airflow through the chassis.

Onboard SCSI (5010H only)

Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra160 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
160 MB/sec for each channel. The 370SSR+ provides two SCSI ports: one
internal 68-pin LVD Ultra160 connector (on channels A) and one external/
internal (shared) 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI connector (channel B).

PCI Expansion Slots

The 370SSR+/370SSE+ has one 32-bit 33 MHz PCI slot available. One riser
card is included with the system for use with 32-bit PCI cards.

Network Interface Controllers (NIC)

The 370SSR+/370SSE+ supports two Network Interface controllers (NIC)
based on Intel's 82559 and 82562 chips. (For the 5010H server that is
based on the 370SSR+ Version 1.2 mainboard, two 82559 Ethernet chips
are included in the system.)

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual

1-6

Onboard Controllers/Ports

An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four
UDMA/100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O ports include one
COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a video (Graph­ics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports which back each other up in case one
port loses connection.

Other Features

Other onboard features that promote system health include eight voltage
monitors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators,
chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5010H/5010E 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 SuperServer 5010H/5010E
system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor,
system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 5010H/5010E

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5010H/5010E was shipped in
and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage,
you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
5010H/5010E. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well
ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic
fields 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 SuperServer 5010H/5010E 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual

Choosing a Setup Location:

- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open

the front door completely (~25 inches).

- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack

to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

Rack Precautions:

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully

extended to the floor 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

first, 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 SCSI drives (5010H) and power supply units 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.

2-4 Installing the SuperServer 5010H/5010E into a
Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5010H/5010E
into a rack unit. If the 5010H/5010E 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. The following is a guideline for installing the 5010H/5010E into a
rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the installation
instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails:

You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer
5010H/5010E. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner
fixed chassis rail that secures to the 5010H/5010E (A) and an outer fixed
rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide
sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail.
(See Figure 2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached from each other to

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you
should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail
assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the

SUPERSERVER 5010H/5010E Manual

Installing the Chassis Rails:

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5010H/5010E chassis making sure the five screw holes line up. Note
that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the
side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other
rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail
brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab,
which serves two functions. The first 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 Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails:

Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5010H/5010E in the
rack. (See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fixed
rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack,
keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack

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 chassis. 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.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should
hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the
thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the
other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at
the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack:

If you are installing the SuperServer 5010H/5010E into a Telco type rack,
follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The
only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the
rack brackets to the rack. They should be spaced apart just enough to
accomodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5010H/5010E in the rack, you will need to open the unit
to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the 5010H/5010E (see Figure 2-5):

First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top
of the chassis to release the top cover. There is a large rectangular
recess in the middle front of the top cover to help you push the cover
away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the
chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPU (processor):

You should have one processor already installed into the system
board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See
Section 5-5 for instructions on processor installation.

3. Verify the proper CPU core/bus ratio setting:

The CPU FSB speed is set with jumpers (JP 11, and JP12). (See Section
5-9 for details.) The CPU speed can also be changed by software control
in BIOS (see CPU Speed Setting). The CPU Speed Setting will show you
the actual CPU speed for each FSB speed option selected.

4. Check the system memory:

Your 5010H/5010E 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 Section 5-5.

5. Installing add-on cards:

If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Section 5­7 for details on installing a PCI add-on card.

6. Check all cable connections and airflow:

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Section 5-3 for details on cable connections.
Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under
the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the
drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis. (*Note:

Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.)

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI
drives (5010H only) and SCA backplane have been properly installed and
all connections have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays:

All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing
the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front
of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives:

Refer to Section 6-4 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI disk drives: (5010H)

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two SCSI drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives,
please refer to Section 6-4.

4. Check the airflow:

Airflow is provided by a 10-cm input fan and one (optional) 4-cm cooling
fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote
sufficient airflow through the small 1U rackmount space. Also note that
all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do
not block the airflow generated by the fans.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-11

5. Supplying power to the system:

The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug
the power cord from the power supply unit 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).
