At the heart of the SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF lies the X9DRG-QF, a dual
processor serverboard based on the Intel C602 chipset. Below are the main features
of the X9DRG-QF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).

Processors

The X9DRG-QF supports two Intel® E5-2600 Series processors in LGA 2011 sockets
(Socket R). Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).

Memory

The X9DRG-QF has sixteen DIMM slots that can support up to 512 GB of DDR3­1600/1333/1066/800 RDIMM, LRDIMM or UDIMM ECC/non-ECC memory. Modules
of the same size and speed are recommended. See Chapter 5 for details.

Serial ATA

A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset to provide a ten-port SATA
subsystem, which is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 supported. the I-SATA 0-1 ports are SATA

3.0 ports. The I-SATA2-5 ports and the S-SATA0-3 ports are SATA 2.0 ports. The
SATA drives are hot-swappable units.

Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot­swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.

PCI Expansion Slots

The X9DRG-QF has four PCI-E 3.0 x16, two PCI-E 3.0 x8 (1 in x16) and one PCI-E

2.0 x4 (in x8) slots for a total of seven PCI expansion slots.

Chapter 2

Workstation Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperWorkstation 7047GR­TRF up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to
have the system operational within a minimal amount of time. 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 SuperWorkstation 7047GR-TRF was shipped in
and note if it was damaged in any way. If the workstation itself shows damage, you
should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for setting up and operating the SuperWorkstation
7047GR-TRF. 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.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your workstation was shipped in may include two sets of rail assemblies,
two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws needed to install the system
into the rack (optional parts). 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).

• Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for

suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.

2-1

SUPERWORKSTATION 7047GR-TRF User's Manual

• This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated

equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

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.

• Rack-mounted equipment should not be used as a shelf or work space.

Workstation 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 workstation components on the bottom of the rack fi rst, and

then work up.

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

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 work-

stations closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-2

Chapter 2: Workstation 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.).

2-4 Installing the Chassis onto a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC747 chassis into a rack unit
with the optional 4U 17.2" width rail set (MCP-290-00059-0B). 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.

Notes: The outer rail is adjustable from 26" to 38.25". The MCP-290-00059-0N rail
kit is an optional accessory.

2-3

SUPERWORKSTATION 7047GR-TRF User's Manual

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.

Removing the Chassis Cover and Feet

The SC747 chassis is shipped with the chassis cover and feet pre-installed. Both
the feet and cover must be removed for before installing the rails.

Removing the Chassis Top Cover

1. Locate the chassis cover lock (blue lever) at the rear of the chassis cover.

2. Slide the chassis cover lock to the right and push chassis cover forward.

3. Lift the chassis top cover off the chassis.

Removing the Chassis Feet

1. Place the chassis on its side with the chassis side cover facing upward.

2. Remove the screw holding the chassis foot in place.

3. The foot lock is a tab located in the center of the foot that prevents the foot

from sliding. Using a fl at head screwdriver, gently lift the foot lock upward
and slide the foot toward the rear of the chassis.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 with each remaining foot.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.

3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When
the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click" into the locked position.

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.

System Interface

3-1 Overview

There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the 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 two buttons on the chassis
a control panel: a reset button and an on/off switch. 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 two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are power
on/off button and a reset button.

Power

The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply
to the workstation. Turning off system power with this button removes the main
power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug
system before servicing.

Reset

The reset button is used to reboot the system.

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the SC747 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.

HDD

Indicates IDE channel activity. SAS/SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when
fl ashing.

3-2

NIC1

Indicates network activity on LAN1 when fl ashing.

NIC2

Indicates network activity on LAN2 when fl ashing.

Chapter 3: System Interface

Overheat/Fan Fail

When this LED fl ashes it indicates a fan failure. When continuously on (not fl ashing)
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. This LED will remain fl ashing or on
as long as the overheat condition exists.



Power Fail

Indicates a power failure to the system's power supply units.

3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.

• Green: Each drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED

(on the front of the drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the
SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive
is being accessed.

• Red: The red LED indicates a SAS/SATA drive failure. If one of the SATA drives

fail, you should be notifi ed by your system management software.
