1-2 Mainboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 5013G-M lies the P4SGE, a single processor

motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the main

features of the P4SGE.

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 inter-

face 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.

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. 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 two-

channel ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. The ICH4 also interfaces with

the PCI cards and the various communications ports. Nearly all communica-

tions 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 P4SGE supports single 478-pin microPGA Intel® Pentium® 4 processors

of up to 3.06 GHz with a 512KB integrated Advanced Transfer Cache or
single Intel® Celeron® processors of up to 2.20 GHz with a 128KB inte-

grated Advanced Transfer Cache. Front side (system) bus speeds of 533

or 400 MHz are supported. Please refer to the support section of our web

site for a complete listing of supported processors (http://

www.supermicro.com/support/).

Memory

The P4SGE has two (2) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 2 GB

of non-ECC, unbuffered DDR-333/266/200 (PC2700/2100/1600) SDRAM

modules. Module sizes of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may be used to

populate the DIMM slots.

PCI Expansion Slots

The 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 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 ATA/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.

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.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SuperServer 5013G-M is a scaleable 1U rackmount server platform

designed with some of today's most state-of-the-art features. The follow-

ing is a general outline of the main features of the SC512 chassis.

System Power

When configured as a SuperServer 5013G-M, the SC512 chassis includes a

single 200W (+12V) power supply.

Control Panel

The SC512's control panel provides important system monitoring and control

information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive ac-

tivity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a

main power button and a system reset button. Two USB 2.0 ports are

included on the front of the chassis for convenient front-side access.

Rear I/O Panel

The SC512 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a parallel

(printer) port, one COM port (the other is internal), two USB ports, PS/2

mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two Ethernet ports. (See

Figure 1-1.)

Cooling System

The SC512 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes a heavy

duty 10-cm blower system cooling (intake) fan. The blower fan plugs into

a chassis fan header on the motherboard and operates at full rpm continu-

ously. If it breaks down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will

rise and activate an overheat LED.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer

5013G-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 5013G-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 5013G-M

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013G-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

5013G-M. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well venti-

lated. 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 optional rackmount hardware package for the SuperServer 5013G-M

includes 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-M 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).

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

devices according to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with

Visual Display Units.

Rack Precautions

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

extended to the 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 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.

Warnings and Precautions!

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-3

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 con-

nections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of

power strips, etc.).

SUPERSERVER 5013G-M Manual

2-4 Installing the SuperServer 5013G-M into

a Rack (rack hardware optional)

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5013G-M

into a rack unit. If the 5013G-M 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 5013G-M into a rack with the

optional rack hardware. You should also refer to the installation instruc-

tions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You may have received two rack rail assemblies (optional) with the

SuperServer 5013G-M. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections:

an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 5013G-M (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.

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the 5013G-M 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 5013G-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

SUPERSERVER 5013G-M Manual

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.

securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assem-

bly 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 5013G-M 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 accom-

modate the width of the telco rack.

SUPERSERVER 5013G-M Manual

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5013G-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 5013G-M (Figures 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"). Remove the two screws that secure the

top cover to the chassis (located just behind the handles). Next, de-

press 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 into the system board.

Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5

for instructions on processor installation.

3. Check the system memory

Your 5013G-M server system may have come with system memory al-

ready 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 and the IDE drives 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.

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 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.

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). Fi-

nally, depress the power button on the control panel to power up the

system.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as one on the

motherboard to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the

system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There

are also two buttons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains

the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may

need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are two push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis.

These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off

button.

 RESET: The reset switch reboots the system.

 POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or

turn off the main system power. Turning off system power with this button

removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC512 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 illumi-

nated 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 operat-

ing 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.

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 5013G-M,

this light indicates CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.

 Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power

supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is

operating.

3-4 Motherboard LEDs

 PW (Power_On) LED

There is one PW (Power_on) LED on the motherboard. When illuminated, it

indicates that system power is present on the motherboard. This LED is

located in the corner of the P4SGE near the DIMM2 slot.
