1-2 Serverboard Features

At the heart of the SuperServer 6033P-8R lies the X5DP8-G2, a dual Intel Xeon
processor serverboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the
main features of the X5DP8-G2.

Chipset

The X5DP8-G2 is based on Intel's E7501 chipset, which is a high-performance
core logic chipset designed for dual-processor servers. See Figure 1-1 for a
block diagram of the E7501.

The E7501 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Controller
Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0 (P64H2) and
the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).

The MCH has four hub interfaces, one to communicate with the ICH3 and three
for high-speed I/O communications. The MCH employs a 144-bit wide memory
bus for a PC1600 (DDR-200) memory interface, which provides a total bandwidth
of 3.2 GB/s. The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB/sec point-to-point connection using
an 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate. The P64H2 interface
is a 1 GB/s point-to-point connection using a 16-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at
a 8x data transfer rate.

The ICH3 I/O Controller Hub provides various integrated functions, including a
two-channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller, USB host controllers, an in­tegrated LAN controller, a System Management Bus controller and an
AC'97 compliant interface.

Each P64H2 PCI-X Hub (there are two) provides a 16-bit connection to the
MCH for high-performance IO capability and the 64-bit PCI-X interface.

1-3 Server Chassis Features

The SC832S-R760 is a scaleable 3U rackmount server platform designed with
state-of-the-art features. The following is a general outline of the main features
of the SC832S-R760 chassis.

System Power

When configured as the 6033P-8R, the SC832S-R760 chassis includes a triple
redundant 760W (760W + 380W) hot-swappable power supply.

SCSI Subsystem

The SCSI subsystem supports eight 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives. (Any
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 chassis control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, power fail, network activity, hard disk drive
activity and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power button,
a system reset button and a mute button to suppress the alarm.

I/O Backplane

The backplane of the SC832S-R760 supports the use of up to six standard size
expansion cards and provides one COM port, one VGA port, a parallel (printer)
port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gb Ethernet (LAN)
ports (see Figure 1-2).

Cooling System

The SC832S-R760 has a revolutionary cooling design that includes four 9.2-cm
hot-swap system cooling (intake) fans. The fans plug into fan headers that are
located behind the drive bays and operate continuously at full (4300) rpm. If any
fan fails and the ambient air temperature inside the chassis becomes too high,
an overheat LED and alarm will be activated.

Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6033P-8R
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
preinstalled. 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 specific components.

2-2 Unpacking the SuperServer 6033P-8R

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6033P-8R 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
6033P-8R. 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 6033P-8R 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.

2-2

SUPERSERVER 6033P-8R 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 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 hot plug SCSI drives and 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

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 6033P-8R Manual

2-4 Installing the 6033P-8R into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6033P-8R into a
rack unit. If the 6033P-8R 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 6033P-8R into a rack with the rack rails provided. 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 6033P­8R. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis
rail that secures to the 6033P-8R (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures
directly to the rack itself (B). All screws and hardware mentioned in the instal­lation steps should be included in the hardware kit.

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.

Locking Tab

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position one of the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side
of the 6033P-8R. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Locate the
five rail buttons on each side of the chassis and the five corresponding holes
on each of the inner rails. Note that the holes are elongated with one end of the
hole larger than the other. Align the larger end of each hole with its correspond­ing button. Once all are aligned, push the holes toward their corresponding
buttons and the rail should secure itself to the chassis see Figure 2-2). Once
a rail is placed on the chassis, pull it forward until the rail buttons lock in the
small ends of the corresponding holes. Secure the rail to the chassis with a M4
x 4mm roundhead screw. Repeat the above steps to install other rail on the
chassis.

Locking Tabs: As mentioned, 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

2-6

SUPERSERVER 6033P-8R Manual

Installing the Server into the Rack

Locate a pair of front (short) and rear (long) brackets that were included with
your rack mounting hardware. Note that the brackets are marked with up/front
arrows (front) and up/rear arrows (rear). Secure the short front bracket (A in
Figure 2-3) to the outer rail with two M4 x 4 mm roundhead screws. Locate
the two buttons on the outer rail (B in Figure 2-3) and attach the rear (long)
bracket to it by sliding the opening of the rear rail through the button. Measure
the depth of your rack and adjust the length of the rails accordingly. Repeat
the same steps to install the other outer rail on the chassis. Secure both
outer rail assemblies to the rack using M5 x 12 mm flathead screws and M5
washers.

You are now ready to install the server into the rack. Slide the chassis into
the rack as shown in Figure 2-4. The chassis may not slide into the rack
smoothly or easily when installed the first time. Some adjustment to the slide
assemblies might be needed for easy installation.)

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear
the locking tabs "click". You will need to release the safety taps on both sides
of the chassis in order to completely remove the chassis out of the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

If you are installing the SuperServer 6033P-8R 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 accommodate the width of the
telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 6033P-8R in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make
sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.

1. Accessing the inside of the 6033P-8R (see Figure 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"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain
full access to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPUs (processors):

You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.
Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on
processor and heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory:

Your 6033P-8R 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 add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for
details on installing PCI add-on cards.

5. Check all cable connections and airflow:

Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the chassis airflow. Also make sure that no cables are posi­tioned in front of the fans. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connec­tions.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives
and SCA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have been
made.

1. Accessing the drive bays:

All drives are accessable 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. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives:

A slim CD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. 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:

Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer
to Chapter 6.

4. Check the airflow:

Airflow is provided by four 9.2-cm blower fans. The system component layout
was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components
that generate the most heat. 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 cords from the power supply units 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).

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive
carriers and 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.

3-2 Control Panel Buttons

There are three push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These
are (in order from left to right) a mute, a reset and a power on/off button.

! MUTE: Depress the mute button to silence the buzzer alarm, which is

activated by a signal received from the SCSI drive backplane. After silencing the
alarm, you should then press the button again to reactivate the alarm function.

! RESET: Use the reset button to reboot the system.

! POWER: This is the main power button, 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 SC832S-R760 chassis has six 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 a CPU overheat condition. 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. Verify that the
heatsinks are installed properly (see Processor and Heatsink Installation section
in Chapter 5).

! NIC2: Indicates network activity on LAN2 when flashing.
