1-2 Mainboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i lies the P4SGR/P4SGE, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the P4SGR/P4SGE. See Figure 1-1 for a
block diagram of the 845GE chipset.

Chipset Overview

Intel’s 845GE chipset is made up of two main components:

The Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)

The I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)

Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)

The GMCH includes the host (CPU) interface, memory interface, ICH4 inter­face and 4xAGP interface for the 845GE chipset. It contains advanced
power management logic and supports a single channel of DDR SDRAM.
The AGP 2.0 interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak
bandwidth of 1.6 GB/sec.

An external graphics accelerator card is not required due to the integrated
graphics in the 845GE chipset. (If the system BIOS detects an external
AGP device, it will disable the integrated graphics.) The integrated graphics
controller delivers 3D, 2D and video capabilities, including video
conferencing applications. The controller does not utlilize local memory, but
accesses graphics data located in system memory at speeds of up to 2.1
GB/s (DDR-266). It also includes a cache controller to avoid frequent
memory fetches of recently accessed texture data.

I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)

The ICH4 is a fourth-generation I/O Controller Hub subsystem that integrates
many of the input/output functions of the 845GE chipset, including a two­channel ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. The ICH4 also interfaces with
the PCI cards, the AC'97 Audio CODEC and the various communications
ports. Nearly all communications between the GMCH and the ICH4 takes
place over the hub Interface, which is a 66 MHz/266 MB/s bus.

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-3

Processors

The P4SGR/P4SGE supports single 478-pin Pentium 4 microPGA processors
at up to 3.06 GHz at a front side (system) bus speed of 533 or 400 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 P4SGR/P4SGE has two (2) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to
2 GB of non-ECC unbuffered PC2700/2100 (DDR-333/266) low-profile
SDRAM modules. Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may
be used to populate the DIMM slots.

Onboard SCSI (5013G-6 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 P4SGR provides two SCSI ports: one
internal 68-pin LVD Ultra160 connector (on Channel A) and one external/
internal (shared) 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI connector (channel B).

PCI Expansion Slots

The P4SGR/P4SGE has six 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots available. One riser
card is included with the system for use with 32-bit PCI cards.

Network Interface Controllers (NIC)

The P4SGR/P4SGE supports two Gb LAN ports (or Network Interface con­trollers -NIC) based on Intel's 82540EM Ethernet controller chip.

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,
one parallel port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA
(graphics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i is a scaleable 1U rackmount server plat­form designed with some of today's most state-of-the-art features. The
following is a general outline of the main features of the SC810 chassis.

System Power

When configured as a SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i, the SC810 chassis
includes a single 250W power supply.

SCSI Subsystem (5013G-6 only)

The SCSI subsystem on the 5013G-6 supports two 80-pin SCA Ultra160
SCSI hard drives. (Standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Con­nection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane
that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. The SCSI
drives are also hot-swap units.

Control Panel

The SC810's control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive ac­tivity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a
main power button and a system reset button.

Rear I/O Panel

The SC810 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one mother­board expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports
(5013G-6 only), PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two
Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-2.)

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

Figure 1-2. Rear I/O Panel

Cooling System

The SC810 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes a 10-cm
blower system cooling (intake) fan and one optional 4-cm fan that can be
installed in the midsection of the chassis. The blower fan plugs into a
chassis fan header on the motherboard and operates at full rpm continu­ously. If it breaks down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will
rise and activate an overheat LED.

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G-6/5013G-i

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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
5013G-6/5013G-i. 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 5013G-6/5013G-i 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 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 SCSI drives (5013G-6) 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.).

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

2-4 Installing the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i into

a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5013G-6/
5013G-i into a rack unit. If the5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G­6/5013G-i 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
5013G-6/5013G-i. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an
inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 5013G-6/5013G-i (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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5013G-6/5013G-i 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.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 5013G-6/5013G-i (Figures 2-5a/2-5b)

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 may have one processor already installed in the motherboard. Each
processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for
instructions on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 SCSI
drives and SCA backplane (5013G-6 only) or IDE drives (5013G-i only)
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 Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.

3. Check the SCSI disk drives (5013G-6)

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 the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

4. Check the IDE disk drives (5013G-i)

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two IDE hard drives already installed. If you need to install an IDE hard
drive, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

5. 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.

6. 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).

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC810 chassis has five 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.

 OVERHEAT: Indicates an overheat condition in the chassis. This may
be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system, or the ambient
room temperature being too warm. You should also check to make sure
that the chassis cover is installed and that all fans are present and operat­ing normally. Finally, 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.

 NIC2: Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.

 NIC1: Indicates network activity on LAN1 when flashing.

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect
yourself from harm and the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 IDE/floppy drives. 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.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

 Keep the area around the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i clean and free

of clutter.

 The SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i weighs approximately 26 lbs (11.8

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.

Chapter 4: System Safety

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.

Advanced Motherboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the P4SGR/P4SGE mother­board into the SC810 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 chaptor
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 P4SGR/P4SGE 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 P4SGR/P4SGE
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 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.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

5-2 Motherboard Installation

This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P4SGR
(5013G-6) or P4SGE (5013G-i) into the SC810 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 5013G-6/5013G-i (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 P4SGR/P4SGE requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x

8.7" motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC810 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.

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 (J6 and J7)

 Floppy Drive Cable (J5)

 SCSI Device Cables (JA1, JA2 and JA3) (5013G-6 only)

 Control Panel Cable (JF1)

Connecting Power Cables

The P4SGR/P4SGE has a 20-pin primary power supply connector ("ATX
Power") at J21 for connection to the ATX power supply. In addition, there
is a 4-pin secondary power connector at J24 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.

1. Memory support

The P4SGR/P4SGE has three DIMM slots that support both double-sided
and single-sided non-ECC unbuffered PC2700/2100 (DDR-333/266) low-

profile SDRAM for a maximum of 2 GB main memory.

2. Installing memory modules

Insert each memory module vertically into a DIMM slot. 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.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

5-7 Adding PCI Cards

1. 32-bit PCI slot

The P4SGR/P4SGE has six 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI slots. A riser card de­signed specifically for use in the 810 1U rackmount chassis is included with
your system. This riser card allows an installed PCI card to sit at a 90
degree angle so it can fit inside the chassis. This riser card accommo­dates 32-bit, 33 MHz 5V PCI cards (see Figure 5-6).

2. PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in
Step 1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI 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 shields protect the motherboard and its components from
EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield
covering each unused PCI slot.

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
identified with a square solder pad
on the printed circuit board. See
the motherboard layout pages for
jumper locations.

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. Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear
CMOS. To clear CMOS,

1) First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).

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: 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.

"On-Chip VGA" setting in the Advanced Chipset Features section in BIOS.)
The 4xAGP slot is backward compatible with 2xAGP graphics cards.

To install a VGA card, power down the system and remove the I/O shield
corresponding to the AGP slot. Then, pull back the locking tab on the slot
before inserting your VGA card. After the card is inserted, close the
locking tab if possible (some VGA cards have a notch in the corner of the
board to lock it into place, others do not.) Replace all chassis covers
before restoring power to the system.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform
maintenance on the SC810 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.

6-3 System Fans

One 10-cm blower fan provides all the cooling needed for the SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i. The chassis includes air seals under the blower fan 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. See
Figure 6-3 for locations.

System Fan Failure

The blower fan runs at a full 100% rpm. If the fan fails, the ambient air
temperature in the chassis will rise and activate the overheat LED on the
control panel. You will need to power down the system to replace this fan.

Replacing System Cooling Fans

1. Removing the blower fan

After turning off the power to the system, first remove the chassis cover
and unplug the fan cable from the motherboard. Lift the blower fan from
the mounting posts and pull it completely out from the motherboard. See
Figure 6-3.

2. Installing a new blower fan

Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro). Position the new fan in its proper place in the chassis by
fitting the fan onto the fan mounting posts in the chassis. After the new
fan has been installed, plug the fan cable back into the same chassis fan
header on the motherboard you removed it from. Make sure the air seal
under the fan is properly installed and creating a good seal. Power up
the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the LED
on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the top panel of
the chassis.

Note: You must use standard 1" high, 80-pin SCA SCSI drives in the
SuperServer 5013G-6.

CD-ROM/IDE/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing the CD-ROM, IDE or
floppy disk drives, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 5013G­6/5013G-i by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD­ROM and Floppy Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instruc­tions.

Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit in the 5013G-6/5013G-i. IDE
hard drives are for the 5013G-E only.

SCSI Drive Installation (5013G-6 only)

1. Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier

The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation
and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper
airflow for the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers
without SCSI drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new
SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board
side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in
Figure 6-4.

Figure 6-4. Mounting a SCSI Drive in a Carrier (5013G-6 only)

!

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives
are installed, both SCSI drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane.
Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects
and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives

Two SCSI drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them
easily accessible for installation and removal. These SCSI drives are hot­swap units, meaning they can be installed and removed without powering
down the system. To remove, first push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs, then swing the colored handle fully out and use it
to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).

!

Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives
are installed, both SCSI drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

IDE Drive Installation (5013G-i only)

1. Mounting an IDE drive in a drive carrier

Like SCSI drives, IDE drives are also mounted in drive carriers to simplify
their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help
promote proper airflow. For this reason, even empty carriers without IDE
drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new IDE drive,
install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward
the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
Secure the drive to the carrier with the four screws.

2. Installing/removing IDE drives

The two IDE drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making
them easily accessible for installation and removal. The IDE drives are
not hot-swap units, meaning system power must be turned off before
installing and/or removing them. To install or remove a 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 carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through
the front of the chassis (see Figure 6-6). Reverse this procedure when
installing a drive carrier, making sure you screw in the retention screw.
Replace the top cover when finished.

SCSI Power Cables

SCSI power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airflow
through the chassis. There is a 4-pin connector for the power cables.

SCA Backplane

The SCSI drives plug into an SCA backplane that provides power, SCSI ID
and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the SCA backplane
to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID
support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SCSI drives. The SCA
SCSI backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no jumpers or
switches present on it.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual

CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD­ROM and floppy drive bays. The CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to
fit into the 5013G-6/5013G-i.

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 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 floppy or IDE drives.

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully
installed in their bays.

• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.

• A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.

• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors
to provide for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires
always connects to drive A, and the connector that does not have
twisted wires always connects to drive B.

6-5 Power Supply

The SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i has a single 250 watt power supply.
This power supply has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to
automatically sense and operate anywhere between 100v and 240v. 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-021 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).

Replacing the Power Supply

1. Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i

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,
which secure it to 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. Before reconnecting the power cord,
make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off position.
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.

Chapter 7

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AwardBIOS for the P4SGR/P4SGE. 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 back-up 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 4­3 gives detailed descriptions of each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

7-2 Running Setup

*Optimal default settings are in bold text unless otherwise noted.

The BIOS setup options described in this section are selected by choosing
the appropriate text from the Main BIOS Setup screen. All displayed text is
described in this section, although the screen display is often all you need
to understand how to set the options (see on next page).

When you first power on the computer, the AwardBIOS™ is immediately
activated.

While the BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in one of two
ways:

1. By pressing <Del> immediately after turning the system on, or

2. When the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen
during the POST (Power On Self-Test), press the <Del> key to activate
the Main Setup Menu.

Appendix A: BIOS Post Messages

APPENDIX A

A-1

Appendix A

BIOS POST Messages

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS will check for errors. If an error
is found and a correction is needed, the BIOS will activate an alarm or display a
message.

If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by the following:

PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP

POST Beep Codes

Currently, there are two kinds of beep codes used in AwardBIOS. One code indicates
that a video error has occurred and that the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen
to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep
followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that a Rambus error has
occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep that sounds repeatedly.

Error Messages

One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error
during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS.

CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED

The CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced.

CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR

The CMOS hecksum is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has been corrupted.
This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace
if necessary.

DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER

No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected
or the drive does not contain the proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into
Drive A: and press <Enter>. If you assumed the system would boot from the hard
drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly
attached. Also make sure the disk has been formatted as a boot device. Then reboot
the system.

DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP

The type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition.
Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly.

DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY

The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This
indicates that the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine
which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper
or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection.

DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT

Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must
configure the system for the new display type.

ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE

The hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all
cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type
is selected in Setup.

ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER

Cannot initialize the controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in
the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see
if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive.

FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT

Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed
correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive
selection in Setup is set to NONE.

KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT

Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no
keys are being pressed during boot up.

If you are intentionally configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt
condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to
ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot.
