should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time.
This quick setup assumes that your 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 server 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 box the SuperServer 6017R-73THDP+/6017R-73HDP+ was shipped in should
include two sets of rail assemblies, six 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.
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
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.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
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.).
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
This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. NOTE: This rail will fi t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Inner Rail and Inner Rail Extension
The SC816LT chassis includes mounting rails for installing the system into a rack.
Each assembly consists of two sections: An inner rail which is pre-installed on the
chassis, an inner rail extension, and an outer rail that secures to the rack. These
assemblies are specifi cally designed for the left and right side of the chassis
Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter 4).
Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if handled
improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard from bending,
keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling.
The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment from
static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• 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 serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the
label area of the fan.
Notes:
• Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-
moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
• If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certifi ed multi-
directional heatsink only.
• Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU
heatsinks.
• When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that
the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
• Refer to the Sup ermi cro web s ite for upd ates on CPU su ppor t.

which are semi-circle cutouts,
against the socket keys.
6. Once they are aligned, carefully
lower the CPU straight down
into the socket. (Do not drop
the CPU on the socket. Do not
move the CPU horizontally or
vertically and do not rub the
CPU against any pins of the
socket, which may damage the
CPU or the socket.)
Warning: You can only install the CPU to the socket in one direction. Make sure that
the CPU is properly inserted into the socket before closing the load plate. If it doesn't
close properly, do not force it as it may damage your CPU. Instead, open the load
plate again and double-check that the CPU is aligned properly.
7. With the CPU in the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU
to make sure that they are fl ush
with the socket.
8. Close the load plate. Lock the
lever labeled 'Close 1st', then lock
the lever labeled 'Open 1st'. Use
your thumb to gently push the

Installing a CPU Heatsink
1. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the retention mechanism.
2. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e. the #1 and the #2 screws) until just snug
(do not over-tighten the screws, which may damage the CPU.)
3. Finish the installation by fully tightening all four screws.
Removing the Heatsink
1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the sequence shown in the
picture below.
3. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use
excessive force when doing this!)
4. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU.
5. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before you re-install
the heatsink.
Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you do need
to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the
CPU or other components.
With the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed to prevent them from blocking the fl ow of cooling air that moves through the
system from front to back. When disconnecting any of these cables, take care to
reroute them as they were originally.
Up to 12 hard drives may be installed in the chassis using any combination of the
SAS and SATA ports below. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for
connector locations.
• SAS (SAS0-SAS7) or SATA (SATA0-5) cables
Connecting Power Cables
The X9DRFF-7TG+/X9DRFF-7G+ has two 8-pin primary power supply connectors
designated JPW1 and JPW2 for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the
approp riate conn ector fro m the power sup ply to JPW1/JPW2 to supp ly power to
the ser verb oard. Se e the Con necto r Defi nitions sect ion in thi s chapter fo r power
conne c tor p in d efi nitio ns. In addition, your power supply must be connected to the
4-pin processor power connector at JPW3.
