Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6037R-72RFT
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 relevant section in Chapter 5 for details on install­ing specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

Y ou should inspect the box the SuperServer 6037R-72RFT 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 SuperServer 6037R­72RFT. 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 6037R-72RFT 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.

2-1

SUPERSERVER 6037R-72RFT User's Manual

!

!

• 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.

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 any hot plug 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.

2-2

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.).

2-3

SUPERSERVER 6037R-72RFT User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC835 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. 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.

Installing the Inner Rack Rails

Installing the Inner Rails

1. Place the inner rack extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the rail extension holes.

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6037R-72RFT from damage:

• Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well

as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.

• Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

• Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or install-

ing main system components, such as the serverboard and memory modules.
When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the system with the
operating system. The unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect
both power supply cords before servicing to avoid electrical shock.

• When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar

with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces­sary.

• Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

• Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifi cally
designed as electrical insulators.

• The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

• This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure

that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground).

• Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).
This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recom­mended by the manufacturer (CR2032). Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.

• DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a

DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous
radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any uncon­ventional way.

• Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-

ture Coeffi cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Keep the area around the 6037R-72RFT clean and free of clutter.

• The 6037R-72RFT weighs approximately 75 lbs (34 kg.) when fully loaded.

When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their
feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift
with your legs.

• Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been re-

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.

• While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

!

• Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

• After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure

it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections
have been made.

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

• Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags

until ready for use.

• Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic

bag.

• Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may

retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or contacts.

• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

• Put the serverboard 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.

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install the X9DRH-7TF serverboard into the
chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All serverboard
jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart
are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to completely close the
chassis when you have fi nished working with the serverboard to better cool and
protect the system.

5-1 Handling the Serverboard

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
(see previous chapter). 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 electric static discharge.

Precautions

• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge

(ESD).

• 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.

SUPERSERVER 6037R-72RFT User's Manual

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static dis­charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.

5-2 Connecting Cables

The cables listed below should already be connected to the serverboard. These
include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.

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. If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should
take care to keep them routed as they were originally after reconnecting them (make
sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). The following data cables (with
their locations noted) should be connected. (See the layout for connector locations.)

• SAS (SAS0 ~ SAS7) or SATA (I-SATA0 ~ 5) drive cables

• Control Panel cable (JF1)

Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.

Connecting Power Cables

The X9DRH-7TF has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (J22) for connec­tion to the ATX power supply. In addition, there are two 8-pin 12V processor power
connectors (JPW1 and JPW2) that must be connected to your power supply. See
Section 5-9 for power connector pin defi nitions.

Connecting the Control Panel

JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single cable to simplify this connection. Make
sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects
to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on
the chassis. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

5-9 Jumper Settings

Explanation of Jumpers

To modify the operation of the
serverboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional settings.
Jumpers create shorts between two
pins to change the function of the con­nector. Pin 1 is identifi ed with a square
solder pad on the printed circuit board.
See the serverboard layout pages for
jumper locations.

Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte­nance on the SC835TQ-R920B 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 step that follows.

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.

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.

ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to 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 LEDs inform you of system status.

See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on
JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.

6-3 Accessing the Inside of the System

Performing maintenance on componenets such as fans requires access to the inside
of the server system. Follow the steps below to remove the top/left side cover to
gain access to the inside of the 6037R-72RFT.

If the system has been installed to a rack, carefully pull it out on the rails until the
top cover is exposed.

1. Press the release tabs to remove the cover from the locked position. Press
both tabs at the same time. If necessary, you may need to remove the chas­sis cover screw.

2. Once the top cover is released from the locked position, slide the cover
toward the rear of the chassis and lift the cover off the unit.

6-3 System Fans

Five 8-cm hot-swap fans (two are rear exhaust fans) provide the cooling for the
system. 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.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fans 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.

Replacing System Fans

Removing a Fan

System power does not need to be removed since the fans are hot-pluggable. Replace
the failed fan with an identical 8-cm 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro).

1. Open the chassis and locate the faulty fan. Never run the server for an ex­tended period of time with the chassis open.

2. Press the release tab on the fan and pull the fan upward.

3. Slide the new fan into the fan housing. Make sure the power connectors are
correctly aligned. The new fan will immediately activate.

Installing the Rear Fans

The rear fans must be installed after the serverboard and air shroud setup.

Installing Rear System Fans

1. Confi rm that the air shroud is correctly placed.

2. Slide the rear fan into the slot as illustrated. The fan release tab should be on
the side closest to the power supply.

3. Make sure that the fan is secure in the fan housing and the housing is cor­rectly connected to the power supply.

Air Shroud

Air shrouds concentrate airfl ow to maximize fan effi ciency. The SC835 chassis air
shroud does not require screws to set up.

Installing the Air Shroud

1. Remove the chassis cover. If necessary, remove the rear fans.

2. Place the air shroud in the chassis (see Figure 6-3). The shroud aligns with
the fan holders and covers two of the front fans with two of the rear fans.
Make sure the air shroud aligns completely with the chassis

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal

Accessing the Drive Bays

SAS/SATA Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove
power to replace or swap SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instruc­tions. You must use standard 3.5" SAS/SATA drives in the system.

Note: Refer to the following ftp site for setup guidelines: <ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/
driver/SAS/LSI/LSI_SAS_EmbMRAID_SWUG.pdf> and Supermicro's web site for
additional inmformation < http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/>.

DVD-ROM: For installing/removing the DVD-ROM drive, you will need to gain ac­cess to the inside of the server by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed
to the "DVD-ROM Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.

Hard Drive Backplane

The hard drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi­nation. 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 hard drives. The backplane is already preconfi gured, so no jumper
or switch confi gurations are required.

SAS/SATA Drive Installation

These drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. The carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the drives. For
this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the
chassis.

Installing a Hard Drive (Figures 6-4 and 6-5)

1. Remove the two screws securing the dummy drive to the drive tray.

2. Lift the dummy drive out of the drive tray.

3. Place the hard drive tray on a fl at, stable surface such as a desk, table, or
work bench.

4. Slide the hard drive into the tray with the printed circuit board side facing
down.

5. Carefully align the mounting holes in the hard drive and the tray. Make sure
the bottom of the hard drive and bottom of the hard drive tray are fl ush.

6. Secure the hard drive using all six screws.

7. Replace the drive tray into the chassis. Make sure to close the drive tray us­ing the drive tray handle.

Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca­pability of the drives.

Use caution when working around the 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.

Important: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive car­riers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airfl ow.

The SuperServer 6037R-72RFT has a 920 watt redundant power supply consisting
of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching 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. The power supply units have
a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering
down the system.

Replacing the Power Supply

You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The
backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace
the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model (see part number in the Ap­pendix), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.

Replacing the Power Supply

1. The SC835 chassis includes a redundant power supply (at least two power
modules), you can leave the server running if you remove only one power
supply at a time.

2. Unplug the power supply that you will replace.

3. Push the release tab (on the back of the power supply) as illustrated.

4. Pull the power supply out using the handle provided.

5. Replace the failed power module with the same model.

6. Push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear a click.

7. Plug the AC power cord back into the module and power up the server.

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DRH-7TF. It also pro­vides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens. The
AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.

Starting BIOS Setup Utility

To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del> key while the system
is booting up.

Note: In most cases, the <Del> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup
screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,
<F4>, etc.

Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be confi gured. Grayed-out options cannot be confi gured. Options in blue can be
confi gured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.

Note: The AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. The manufacturer
retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes­sages.

The AMI BIOS Setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.

Note 1: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3> is used to lad optimal default settings. <F4> is used to save

the current settings and exit the setup utility.

Appendix A

BIOS Error Beep Codes

During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.

Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.

Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up pro­cedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer
for possible repairs.

These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The
numbers on the fatal error list (on the following page) correspond to the number
of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep
Code 8, are fatal errors.
