Chapter 1: Introduction

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SC512-200 is a mini 1U rackmount server platform confi guration. The following
is a general outline of the main features of the SC512-200 chassis.

System Power

When confi gured as a SuperServer 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF, the SC512-200 chassis
includes a single 200W power supply.

Serial ATA Subsystem

The SC512-200 chassis was designed to support one internal 3.5" Serial ATA hard
drive. This Serial ATA drive is not hot-swappable; power must be removed from the
system before installing or replacing.

Control Panel

The control panel on the SC512-200 provides important system monitoring and
control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity , hard disk drive activity ,
overheat warning and fan failure. A main power button and a system reset button are
also included. Below the control panel are two USB ports for front side access.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5016I­MR/5016I-MRF 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 server 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 specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF was shipped
in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage, you
should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the server. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fi elds are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions
in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The SuperServer 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF does not ship with a rack rail hardware
package as the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional
rack rail package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. 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.

Choosing a Setup Location

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

completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for

2-1

SUPERSERVER 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF User's Manual

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

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

2-4 Warnings and Precautions

Rack Precautions

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

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

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

rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

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

rack.

• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si-

multaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the

rails.

• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and then

work up.

• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from

power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.

• Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-

ing them.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

• 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 Airfl ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airfl ow required
for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connec­tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF User's Manual

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack

(Rack hardware optional)

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5016I-MR/5016I­MRF 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.

Basic Installation Procedure

The 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which
are located on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a
rack, simply screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for
each bracket).

Installing with Rackmount Kit

This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).
Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the
chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1).

This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you
are using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Warning! Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in
place, or the rack must be bolted to the fl oor before you slide the unit out
for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Chassis Rails

The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation: depress
the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position then pull the two
rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

Position the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the
chassis making sure the three screw holes line up.
left/right specifi c. 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: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The fi rst 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.

Note that these two rails are

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Rack Rails

Determine where you want to place the server in the rack (see Rack and Server
Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed 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 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.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de­signed to pull the system from a rack only.

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".

Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a

rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in

the rack.

• When mounting this unit in a partially fi lled rack, load the rack from the bottom

to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before

mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the server into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side
of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front
of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front
and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two front
brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with just
enough space to accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by sliding the chassis
into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack. See Figure 2-5.

2-6 Checking the Motherboard Setup

After you install the 5016I-MR/5016I-MRF 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.

Accessing the Inside of the System (Figure 2-7)

1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").

2. Remove the screws from the lips on either side of the chassis top cover,
located at the front of the chassis.

3. 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.

Checking the Components

1. 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.

2. Your 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.

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

4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not block­ing the airfl ow. 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.

2-7 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drive
have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1. For servicing the Serial ATA and DVD-ROM drives, you will need to remove
the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drive is located at the front left side
of the chassis.

2. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM drive to the system.

3. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have a Serial
ATA hard drive already installed. If you need to install a Serial ATA hard drive,
please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Checking the Airfl ow

1. Airfl ow is provided by one 10-cm input fan. The system component layout
was carefully designed to promote suffi cient airfl ow through the small 1U
rackmount space.

2. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they
do not block the airfl ow generated by the fan.

Providing Power

1. 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.

2. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
