and system information. A main power button and a UID button is also included.
Cooling System
The SC819TQ-R700WB has an innovative cooling design that features six sets of
4-cm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the chassis. Fan speed
may be determined by IPMI. The power supply module also includes a cooling fan.
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6017R-N3RF4+/6017RN3RFT+ up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory
pre-installed. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, 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 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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 6017RN3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+. 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. Be sure
to read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ 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 minimum 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 SAS/SATA drives and power supply modules 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.

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.).
This section provides information on installing the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+
into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. 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.
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 in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the next step.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(left side rail shown)
Inner RailOuter RailLocking Tab
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
2-4
Page 19
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
1. Measure the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack.
2. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long
bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.
3. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
can fi t snugly into the rack.
4. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws
and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M4 screws.
5. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
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.
1. Confi rm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions . Also, confi rm
that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
3. 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). When the
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the
server to the rack.
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ into a Telco type rack, use two Lshaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far
follow 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 telco rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening
the brackets to the rack.
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.

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
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive
carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well
as the activity and health of specifi c components. There are also three 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 three push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order
from left to right) a UID button, a reset button and a power on/off button.
UID
Depressing the UID (unit identifi er) button illuminates an LED on both the front and
rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack confi gurations. The LED
will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another UID button on the
rear of the chassis serves the same function.
Reset
The reset button reboots the system.
Power
The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
The control panel located on the front of the SC819TQ chassis has fi ve 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.
Information LED
This LED will be solid blue when the UID function has been activated. When this
LED fl ashes red, it indicates a fan failure. When red continuously it indicates an
overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airfl ow in the
system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of
the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should
also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that
the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain fl ashing
or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
X9DRW-3LN4F+/X9DRW-3TF+ serverboard, connect the data and power cables
and install add-on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described
and a layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to
close the chassis completely when you have fi nished working on the serverboard
to protect and cool the system suffi ciently.
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 Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.

open it completely.
4. Using your thumb and the index
fi nger, remove the 'WARNING'
plastic cap from the socket.
5. Use your thumb and index fi nger
to hold the CPU by its edges. Align
the CPU keys, which are semicircle 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
load levers down until the lever
locks.

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
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.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power supply.
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the
sequence shown in the picture below.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it
from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when
doing this!)
3. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from
the CPU.
4. 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 reinstall the heatsink.
Now that 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 in preconfi gured systems to prevent them from blocking the fl ow 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 reroute them as they were originally after
reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you
are confi guring the system, keep the airfl ow in mind when routing the cables.
The following data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations.
• SAS (SAS0-SAS3) or SATA (SATA0-3) cables
• Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The X9DRW-3LN4F+/X9DRW-3TF+ has a 24-pin primary power supply connector
designated JPW1 for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate
connector from the power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for power connector pin
defi nitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connectors at JPW2 and JPW3.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the front control panel buttons and LED indicators. Please
note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect the
other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind
the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Defi nitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.

5-6 Adding PCI Cards
PCI Expansion Slots
Riser cards installed to the system allow you to add PCI expansion cards (see below). The SC819TQ-R700WB can support the use of two standard size (full-height,
half-length) expansion cards and one low-profi le (4.1" length) expansion card (with
pre-installed riser cards).
PCI Card Installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you power off the system fi rst. Begin
by removing the top chassis cover. Two riser cards should be pre-installed into the
system. Remove the latch from the expansion card slot at the rear of the chassis
then lift the riser card assembly from the chassis. Insert the PCI card into the riser
card slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card - note
that the add-on card attaches to the riser card with a single screw. After the card has
been installed, reinstall the riser card then reinsert the latch back into the expansion
card slot. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.
The primary ATX power supply connector meets the SSI EPS 12V specifi cation. Make sure that the orientation
of the connector is correct. See the
table on the right for pin defi nitions.

Chapter 6
Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC819TQ 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 next step.
Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform
maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally suffi cient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
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.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1
connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. These
wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable to simplify the connection.
Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on the
Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1
on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airfl ow path.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can
be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup."

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Five 4-cm heavy duty counter-rotating fans provide the cooling for the 6017RN3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+. Each fan unit is actually made up of two fans joined backto-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates
exceptional airfl ow and works to dampen vibration levels.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a
good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and
cool the components. See Figure 6-2.
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fan will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the
control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with
the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan).
Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to determine which of
the fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing
the power cord(s) is also recommended as a safety precaution.
Replacing System Fans
1. After determining which fan has failed, turn off the power to the system.
2. Unplug the fan cable from the serverboard and remove the failed fan from the
chassis.
3. Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro: p/n FAN-0086L4).
4. Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing while making sure the
arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans.
5. Reposition the fan housing back over the two mounting posts in the chassis,
then reconnect the fan wires to the same chassis fan headers you removed
them from.
6. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the
LED on the control panel has turned off.
Hard Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace the SAS/SATA
drives. Proceed to the next section for instructions.
DVD-ROM Drive: For installing/removing a DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain
access to the inside of the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ by removing the top
cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "DVD-ROM Drive Installation" section later in
this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" DVD-ROM drive will fi t into the 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+.
Warning: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro
Web site at http://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/storage.cfm

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
Hard Drive Installation
The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and
removal from the chassis. System power may remain on when removing carriers
with drives installed. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drive
bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in
the chassis.
Mounting a Hard Drive in a Drive Carrier
1. Insert a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so
that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier.
2. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a Drive in a Carrier
Warning: Use caution when working around the hard drive backplane. Do not touch the
backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane
or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airfl ow.
Warning: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.
1. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs.
2. Swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see
Figure 6-4).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the hard drives.
Release tab
Figure 6-4. Removing a Drive from the Server
Hard Drive Backplane
The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power and drive ID. A RAID
controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating
system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the
drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so there are no jumpers or switches
present on it.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
DVD-ROM Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ accomodates only slim DVD-ROM
drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the
server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVDROM drive.
Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click").
2. 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.
Removing/Installing a Drive
1. With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the
drive you want to remove.
2. Locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the
drive when viewed from the front of the chassis.
3. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the
chassis.
4. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a
faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted.
5. Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system.
The SuperServer 6017R-N3RF4+/6017R-N3RFT+ has a 700 watt redundant power
supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an autoswitching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V
- 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load
and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED
will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement
units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (part number PWS-703-P-1R). The
power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed
unit without powering down the system.
Removing the Power Supply
First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.
1. Depress the locking tab on the power supply module.
2. Use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle (see Fig. 6-5).
Installing a New Power Supply
1. Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit.
2. Push the new power supply unit into the power bay until you hear a click.
3. Secure the locking tab on the unit.
4. Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the unit.

Patrol Scrub
Patrol Scrubbing is a process that allows the CPU to correct correctable memory
errors detected on a memory module and send the correction to the requestor
(the original source). When this item is set to Enabled, the IO hub will read and
write back one cache line every 16K cycles, if there is no delay caused by internal
processing. By using this method, roughly 64 GB of memory behind the IO hub
will be scrubbed every day. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
Demand Scrub
Demand Scrubbing is a process that allows the CPU to correct correctable
memory errors found on a memory module. When the CPU or I/O issues a
demand-read command, and the read data from memory turns out to be a
correctable error, the error is corrected and sent to the requestor (the original
source). Memory is updated as well. Select Enabled to use Demand Scrubbing
for ECC memory correction. The options are Enabled and Disabled.
