Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5013C-M
up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup
assumes that your 5013C-M 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 5013C-M
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013C-M 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
5013C-M. 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 5013C-M 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 minimal amount of time. Please read this
section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the
sections that follow.
Page 20
2-2
SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's 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.
- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
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 a 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drive 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 room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing
the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow
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.).

2-4 Installing the 5013C-M into a Rack
(Rack hardware optional)
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5013C-M into a
rack unit. 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. The following is a
guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the
system. 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
5013C-M. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the unit (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 install.
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
inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail
assemblies.

Page 23
Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 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 5013C-M 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 assembly securely to the rack

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 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.
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.
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.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5013C-M 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 5013C-M (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"). Then, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the
chassis top cover (see Figure 2-5 for location). Next, depress the two buttons
on the top of the chassis to release the top cover while pushing 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 may have one processor already installed into the system board. The
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 5013C-M 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.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing a PCI add-on card.
5. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Chapter 5 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 Serial
ATA drive and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential 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 Serial ATA disk drive 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 Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
3. Check the IDE disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have an IDE
hard drive already installed. If you need to install an IDE hard drive, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by one 10-cm input 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 fan.
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).

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from
harm and the SuperServer 5013C-M 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 installing main system components, such as the motherboard,
memory modules and floppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should
first power down the system with the operating system first 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 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 specifically designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must
be plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

4-2 General Safety Precautions
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the SuperServer 5013C-M clean and free of clutter.
The SuperServer 5013C-M weighs approximately 21 lbs (~9.5 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
removed 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.
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.
!
Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the
onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its
polarites. 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. See Figure 4-
1.
CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-
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.
Page 35
Chapter 4: System Safety
4-3
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 components and printed circuit boards. The following
measures are generally sufficient 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 motherboard 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.

Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the P4SCi motherboard into the
SC512C 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 finished working with the
motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
5-1 Handling the P4SCi Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the P4SCi motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from electric static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral 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 anti-
static bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.

SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's Manual
5-2 Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P4SCi into the
SC512C chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most
common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the
motherboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
1. Accessing the inside of the 5013C-M (see Figure 2-5)
Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis.
Depressing both of these buttons while pushing 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. (If already installed in a
rack, you must first 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.)
2. Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield:
The P4SCi requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5"
motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC512C 1U rackmount. Make sure that
the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their respective holes
in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
3. Mounting the motherboard onto the motherboard tray:
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning
the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible on the
bottom of the chassis. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on
your motherboard that line up 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 motherboard ground to
provide a continuous ground for the system.
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.
Page 39
Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
5-3
5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control
panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have
been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the flow 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 layout on page 5-10 for connector
locations.)
IDE Device Cables (J2 and J5)
Floppy Drive Cable (J7)
Control Panel Cable (JF1)
Connecting Power Cables
The P4SCi has a 24-pin primary power supply connector ("ATX Power") at J20 for
connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there is a 4-pin secondary
power connector at J21 that also must be connected to your power supply. See
Chapter 5 for power connector pin definitions.
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. See Chapter 5 for details
and pin descriptions.

5-5 Installing Processors
Avoid placing direct pressure to the top of the processor
package. Always remove the power cord first before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components.
Processor Support
The P4SCi has a single 478-pin microPGA socket, which supports Intel Pentium
4 processors on .013 micron process or a single Intel Celeron processor of up
to 2.40 GHz.
!
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket.
2. Install the CPU in the socket. Make
sure that Pin 1 of the CPU is seated on
Pin 1 of the socket (both corners are
marked with a triangle).
3. Press the lever down until you
hear it *click* into the locked
position.
4. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the CPU die. Place the heatsink on
top of the CPU aligning its holes with those on
the retention mechanism. Screw in two diagonal screws (ie. the #1 and #2 screws) until just
snug, then do the same with the remaining two
screws. Finish by fully tightening all four
screws (see Figure 5-4 on next page).

5-6 Installing Memory
1. Memory support
The P4SCi supports dual-channel, ECC or non-ECC unbuffered DDR-400/333/
266 SDRAM. Populating DIMM0A and DIMM1A and/or DIMM0B and DIMM1B
with the same size/same type of memory modules will result in dual channel
(two-way interleaved) operation, which is faster than single channel operation.
See the table on the following page for system configuration and the corresponding memory speed support.
2. Installing memory modules
Insert each memory module vertically. Pay attention to the notch along the
bottom of the module to prevent inserting it incorrectly. Gently press down
on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot (see Figure 5-5).
!
CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
To Install: Insert module
vertically and press down
until it snaps into place.
Pay attention to the bottom
notch.
To Remove: Use your
thumbs to gently push
each release tab outward
to free the DIMM from the
slot.
Figure 5-5. DIMM Installation
Note: The Intel E7210 chip supports unbuffered, non-ECC or ECC memory. If
ECC memory is installed, the ECC bits need to be initialized via BIOS before
beginning normal system operation. For system with 4 GB memory and a 2.4
GHz Pentium 4, initialization will take about 65 seconds before any video displays. Since ECC initialization takes time, the Watch Dog Timer select option
needs to be set to a time that will exceed the ECC initialization time.

SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's Manual
5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. 64-bit PCI-X slot
The 5013C-M has a riser card (p/n CSE-RR1U-X) designed specifically for use in
the SC512C 1U rackmount chassis (included with the system). This riser card
allows an installed PCI-X card to sit at a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the
chassis. This riser card accommodates one 64-bit, 66 MHz (3.3V) PCI-X card.
2. PCI-X card installation
Before installing a PCI-X add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in
Step 1. Begin by removing the PCI slot shield for the slot you wish to
populate. Fully seat the PCI card into the riser card and screw it into the
metal retention rail. Then, insert the riser card into the PCI slot on the
motherboard, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the
card. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the
rear of the chassis. The PCI slot shields protect the motherboard and
components from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is
always a shield covering each unused PCI slot.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC512C 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.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintainance
is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To
prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to
handle them very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient 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 anti-
static bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral 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 anti-
static bags when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

One 10-cm blower fan provides the cooling for the SuperServer 5013C-M. The
chassis includes air seals under the blower fans and at the chassis cross section, which separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis
to promote better airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly
installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly
through the chassis.

CD-ROM/IDE/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing or removing the CD-ROM, IDE
or floppy disk drives, you will need to gain access to the inside of the
5013C-M by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive and a "slim" floppy drive will fit in the
5013C-M.
IDE Drive Installation
The IDE drive is located at the front and inside of the chassis. The IDE drive is
not hot-swappable, meaning system power must be turned off before installing
or removing.
To install or remove the drive, first power down the system and then remove
the top cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center
of the drive, then push the drive tray out from the back until you can grasp and
pull it out through the front of the chassis. Remove the drive from the drive
tray.
To add a new IDE drive, install a drive into the tray with the printed circuit
board side facing down and so that the mounting holes align with those in the
tray. Secure the drive to the tray with the four screws. Replace the top cover
when finished. See Figure 6-4.

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"). Remove the two screws that secure the top cover to the chassis
(located just behind the handles). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of
the chassis to release the top cover and at the same time, 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. You must power down the system before
installing or removing CD-ROM, floppy or IDE drives. See Figure 6-4.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully
installed in their bays.

6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 5013C-M has a single 260 watt power supply. This power
supply has the capability of operating at 100 or 240 input volts. Depress the main
power button 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-0055 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5013C-M
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover.
To do so, 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 and push it away from
you. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.
2. Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed
power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply and a
third from the front of the power supply, which secures it to the bottom of the
chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power
cord should have already been removed.)
3. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly
recommended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully
insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two
screws at the rear of the unit and the third at the front. Then reconnect the
power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push the unit back into the
rack. Finish by turning the power switch on the power supply on, and then
depress the power button on the front of the system.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS for the P4SCi. The Award ROM BIOS is
stored in a Flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy 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. Refer to the Manual
Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that are not reflected in
this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and
PS/2® compatible computers. The AwardBIOS Flash chip stores the system
parameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays,
etc. CMOS requires very little power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the BIOS Flash chip, enabling it to retain the system
parameters. Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is then configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains
control when the computer is powered on.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed
by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu
of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens, such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 7-3 gives detailed
descriptions of each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Appendix C
Installing Software and Drivers
After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure the Adaptec
Embedded Serial ATA RAID driver before you install the operating system. The
necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro bootable CDs that came
packaged with your motherboard.
C-1 Introduction to Serial ATA
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a
minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. It is a
serial link which supports transfer rates from 150 MB/s. Because the serial cables
used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA (PATA),
SATA systems can be installed in smaller chassis than PATA. In addition, PATA
cables can only extend to 40cm, while SATA cables can extend up to one meter.
Overall, SATA provides better functionality than PATA.
Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub
Located in the South Bridge of Intel's E7210 chipset, the 6300ESB I/O Controller
Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system. In addition
to supporting a dual-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA), the
6300ESB also supports two SATA host controllers, which provides support for up to
two SATA ports and up to two RAID drives. The 6300ESB supports the PATA and
SATA device configurations listed below. Note that the 5013C-M supports only a
single SATA drive.
ATA Operating Modes
You can select from the following two modes: Combined Mode and Enhanced Mode.
Combined Mode
In this mode, system BIOS assigns the traditional IRQ 14 and IRQ 15 for HDD use.
Up to four ATA devices are supported by this mode.
Within the Combined Mode, the following three modes are supported:
Page 90
C-2
SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's Manual
Primary Master(=PM) Yes Yes No No No No
Primary Slave(=PS) Yes No Yes No No No
Secondary Master(=SM) Yes No No Yes No No
Secondary Slave(=SS) Yes No No No Yes No
SATA Port0 No SM SM PM PM PM
SATA Port1 No SS SS PS PS PS
*Note: (No=Not Present, Yes=Present) Also, if Logical Primary is
selected, the IDE channels are no longer available.
Enhanced Mode
In this mode, system BIOS will automatically search for all available IRQs for HDD
use. For newer operating systems that support Enhanced Mode (such as
WindowsXP, Windows2000 and Windows2003), you can set SATA and PATA to the
Enhanced Mode. (These newer operating systems can accommodate both Enhanced and Combined Modes and support up to six ATA devices.)
Please refer to "Advanced Chipset Control" under the "Advanced" setup section in
BIOS to select Combined Mode or Enhanced Mode.
Non-Combined Mode: Parallel ATA only, with a maximum of four devices supported.
Non-Combined Mode: SATA only, with a maximum of two devices supported.
Combined Mode: SATA and PATA devices, with support for two devices of each for
a total of four devices maximum. For IDE(PATA)/SATA configurations, please refer
to the table below.
