Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 2022G-URF 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 specifi c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the SuperServer 2022G-URF 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 2022G-

URF. 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 2022G-URF 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


•

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 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 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


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


2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC825 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.

Note: This rail will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.

Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails

The chassis package includes two 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.

Installing the Inner Rail Extension

The SC825 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail extension is attached to the inner rail to mount the chassis in the rack.

Installing the Inner Rails

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

"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.

2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other inner rail extension.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated above.

2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.

3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. When the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should click into the locked position.

4. Optional screws may be used to secure the to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.

2-7


2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the 2022G-URF 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.

Accessing the inside of the System

1. First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

2. Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover.

3. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

Checking the Components and Setup

1. You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard.

Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heat sink installation.

2. Your 2022G-URF 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.

3. If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

4. Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chassis airfl ow. 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 SAS/SATA drives have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

Checking the Drives

1. All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-

ROM, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The hard drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. A slim DVD-ROM may be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to install a DVD-ROM drive to the system.

3. Depending upon your system's confi guration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install hard drives, please refer to

Chapter 6.

Checking the Airfl ow

1. Airfl ow is provided by three hot-swappable 8-cm chassis cooling fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct suffi cient cooling airfl ow to the components that generate the most heat.

2. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airfl ow generated by the fans.

Providing Power

1. Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply unit(s) 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).

2. Depress the power on button on the front of the chassis.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

!

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 2022G-URF 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 installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and fl oppy drive. When disconnecting power, you should fi rst power down the operating system fi rst and then unplug the power cords. The unit has more than one power supply cord. Disconnect two 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.

4-1


•

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. 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 Temperature 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 2022G-URF clean and free of clutter.

•

The 2022G-URF weighs approximately 57 lbs. (25.85 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 removed 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.

!

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.

4-3


!

Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 2022G-

URF is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Figure 4-1. Installing the Onboard Battery

LITHIUM BATTERY

!

BATTERY HOLDER

Please handle used batteries carefully. Do not damage the battery in any way; a damaged battery may release hazardous materials into the environment. Do not discard a used battery in the garbage or a public landfi ll.

Please comply with the regulations set up by your local hazardous waste management agency to dispose of your used battery properly.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup

Chapter 5

Advanced Serverboard Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the

H8DGU-F 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

•


•

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.

•


•

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.

5-1


5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

!

When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

IMPORTANT! Always connect the power cord last and remove it fi rst before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan.

The H8DGU-F can support either one or two processors. If installing one processor only, install it into the CPU1 socket.

Note: When purchasing a CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU preinstalled, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

Installing the Processors

1. Begin by removing the cover plate that protects the CPU. Lift the lever on the

CPU socket until it points straight up.

2. With the lever raised, lift open the silver

CPU retention plate.

5-2


3. Use your thumb and your index fi nger to hold the CPU. Locate and align pin

1 of the CPU socket with pin 1 of the

CPU. Both are marked with a triangle.

4. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the

CPU and/or the socket.

5. With the CPU inserted into the socket, inspect the four corners of the CPU to make sure that it is properly installed and fl ush with the socket. Then, gently lower the silver CPU retention plate into place.

Triangle

6. Carefully press the CPU socket lever down until it locks into its retention tab. For a dual-CPU system, repeat these steps to install another CPU into the CPU#2 socket (and into CPU#2,

#3 and #4 sockets for a quad-CPU confi guration).

Note: in single and dual-CPU confi gurations, memory must be installed in the DIMM slots associated with the installed CPU(s). Memory is limited to a maximum of 128 for single CPU and 256 GB for dual CPU confi gurations.

5-3


Installing a Passive CPU Heatsink

1. Do not apply any thermal grease to the heatsink or the CPU die -- the required amount has already been applied.

2. Place the heatsink directly on top of the CPU so that the heat sink screws are aligned with the mounting holes on the back plate.

3. Make sure the screwdriver torgue setting is no more than 5.0 Kgf-cm (4.3 lbfin) and keep the heat sink direction vertical.

4. Tighten each screw a few turns at a time while alternating between the two until fully tightened.

Figure 5-3. SNK-0043P Heatsink

No. 1 Screw

No. 2 Screw

!

Removing the Heatsink

Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. However, if you do need to remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or other components.

1. Unscrew the heatsink screws from the motherboard a few turns at a time, alternating between the two until the screws can be removed.

2. Gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!)

3. Once the CPU is loose, remove the it from the CPU socket.

4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink, removing the used thermal grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before re-installing the CPU and the heatsink.

5-4


Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) 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 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.

•

DVD-ROM drive cable (USB4)

•

SAS cables (connect to optional UIO SAS controller card)

•

Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)

Connecting Power Cables

The H8DGU-F has a 20-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 various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.

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 descriptions of JF1.

5-12 Enabling SATA RAID

Now that the hardware is set up, you must install the operating system and the

SATA RAID drivers, if you wish to use RAID with your SATA drives. The installation procedure differs depending on whether you wish to have the operating system installed on a RAID array or on a separate non-RAID drive. See the instructions below for details.

Serial ATA (SATA)

Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface that employs a single cable with a minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. This connection is a serial link that supports a SATA transfer rate from 150 MBps. The serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel

ATA (PATA) and can extend up to one meter in length, compared to only 40 cm for

PATA cables. Overall, SATA provides better functionality than PATA.

Installing the OS/SATA Driver

Before installing the OS (operating system) and SATA RAID driver, you must decide if you wish to have the operating system installed as part of a bootable RAID array or installed to a separate non-RAID hard drive. If on a separate drive, you may install the driver either during or after the OS installation. If you wish to have the

OS on a SATA RAID array, you must follow the procedure below and install the driver during the OS installation.

Building a Driver Diskette

You must fi rst build a driver diskette from the Supermicro CD-ROM that was included with the system. (You will have to create this disk on a computer that is already running and with the OS installed.)

Building a Driver Diskette

1. Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and start the system. A display as shown in Figure 5-7 will appear.

2. Click on the icon labeled "Build Driver Diskettes and Manuals" and follow the instructions to create a fl oppy disk with the driver on it.

3. Once it's been created, remove the fl oppy and insert the installation CD for the Windows Operating System you wish to install into the CD-ROM drive of the new system you are about to confi gure.

5-22


Note: You need to have an external USB fl oppy when building the driver diskette.

Window's Vista, Windows 2008 or later Windows OS systems can use a USB stick instead of a fl oppy.

Enabling SATA RAID in the BIOS

Before installing the Windows Operating System, you must change some settings in BIOS. Boot up the system and hit the <Del> key to enter the BIOS Setup Utlility.

After the Setup Utility loads,

1. Use the arrow keys to move to the Exit menu. Scroll down with the arrow keys to the "Load Optimal Defaults setting and press <Enter>. Select "OK" to confi rm, then <Enter> to load the default settings.

2. Use the arrow keys to move to the "Advanced" menu, then scroll down to

"Chipset Confi guration". Next enter "SourthBridge Confi guration" and press the <Enter> key. Once in this submenu, scroll down to "OnChip SATA Type" and choose the "RAID" option (see Figure 5-5).

Figure 5-5. BIOS Setup Screen

3. Hit the <Esc> key twice and scroll to the Exit menu. Select "Save Changes and Exit" and hit <enter>, then hit <Enter> again to verify.

5-23


4. After exiting the BIOS Setup Utility, the system will reboot. When prompted during the startup, press the <CTRL+A> key when prompted to run the Dot-

Hill RAID Utility program (see Figure 5-6).

Figure 5-6.Adaptec RAID Utility Program Screen

Using the Adaptec RAID Utility

The Adaptec® RAID Utility program is where you can defi ne the drives you want to include in the RAID array and the mode and type of RAID.

Installing the RAID Driver During OS Installation

You may also use the procedure below to install the RAID driver during the Window's

OS installation:

1. With the Windows OS installation CD in the CD-ROM drive, restart the system.

2. When you see the prompt, hit the <F6> key to enter Windows setup.

3. Eventually a blue screen will appear with a message that begins "Windows could not determine the type of one or more storage devices . . ." When you see the screen, hit the <S> key to "Specify Additional Device", then insert the driver diskette you just created into the fl oppy drive.

4. Highlight "Manufuacturer Supplied Hardware Support Disk" and hit the

<Enter> key.

5-24


5. Highlight the fi rst "Adaptec RAID" driver shown and press the <Enter> key to install it.

6. Press <Enter> again to continue with the Windows setup.

5-13 Installing Drivers

The CD that came bundled with the system contains drivers, some of which must be installed, such as the chipset driver. After inserting this CD into your CD-ROM drive, the display shown in Figure 5-7 should appear. (If this display does not appear, click on the My Computer icon and then on the icon representing your CD-ROM drive. Finally, double click on the S "Setup" icon.)

Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the readme fi les for each item. Click the computer icons to the right of these items to install each item (from top to the bottom) one at a time. After installing each item, you should reboot the system before moving on to the next item on the list. The bottom icon with a CD on it allows you to view the entire contents of the CD.

Supero Doctor III

The Supero Doctor III program is a Web base management tool that supports remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools. The local management is called SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the

CD-ROM that came with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See the Figure below for a display of the Supero Doctor III interface.

Note: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN /

ADMIN.

Note: When SuperDoctor III is fi rst installed, it adopts the temperature threshold settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds must be made within Super Doctor, as the Super Doctor settings override the BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would fi rst need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC825TQ-R720UB 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.

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

•


•

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.

•


•

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.

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.

6-2


Three 8-cm hot-swap 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.

See Figure 6-2.

Figure 6-2. Removing System Cooling Fans

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.

6-3


Replacing System Fans

Removing a Fan

1. Remove the chassis cover.

2. Press the tabs on the sides of the fan to unlock and remove the fan and its housing. The fan's power connections will automatically detach.

3. System power does not need to be shut down since the fans are hotpluggable.

Installing a New Fan

1. Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from

Supermicro, p/n FAN-0094L4).

2. Position the new fan into the space vacated by the failed fan previously removed. A "click" can be heard when the fan is fully installed in place and the power connections are made.

3. If the system power is on, the hot-plug feature will cause the fan to start immediately upon being connected to its header on the serverboard.

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 1" high, 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.

!

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/ fi les/storage/SAS-1-CompList-110909.pdf

SAS/SATA Drive Installation

These drives are mounted in 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.

Note: SAS drives are supported only with a SAS UIO controller card installed.

Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Drive Carrier

1. To add a new SAS/SATA drive, install the 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 four screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Installing/Removing Hot-swap SAS/SATA Drives

1. Push the release button located beside the drive's LEDs.

2. Swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the drive carrier straight out (see

Figure 6-4).

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

Figure 6-3. Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Carrier

!

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.

Important: All of the drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper cooling airfl ow.

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.

6-6


DVD-ROM Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The 2022G-URF accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the server.

Accessing the Inside of the Chassis

1. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").

2. Next, 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.

6-7


The SuperServer 2022G-URF has a 720 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 (see contact information in the

Preface). The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Removing/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.

Removing the Power Supply

1. First unplug the AC power cord from the failed power supply module.

2. Depress the locking tab on the power supply module.

3. Use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle.

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.

Chapter 7: BIOS

Chapter 7

BIOS

7-1 Introduction

This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the SuperServer 2022G-URF.

The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.

This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.

Starting the Setup Utility

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.

(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) Each main

BIOS menu option is described in this manual.

The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be confi gured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be confi gured. 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 that BIOS has default text messages built in. We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)

Settings printed in Bold are the default values.

A " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key will open the list of settings within that submenu.

The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.

When you fi rst enter AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will see the Main Menu screen.

You can always return to the Main Menu by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen with the arrow keys.

The Main Menu screen provides you with a system overview, which includes the version, built date and ID of the AMIBIOS, the type, speed and number of the processors in the system and the amount of memory installed in the system.

7-1


System Time/System Date

You can edit this fi eld to change the system time and date. Highlight System Time or System Date using the <Arrow> keys. Enter new values through the keyboard.

Press the <Tab> key or the <Arrow> keys to move between fi elds. The date must be entered in DAY/MM/DD/YYYY format. The time is entered in HH:MM:SS format.

Please note that time is in a 24-hour format. For example, 5:30 A.M. appears as
