Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MF
up and running. Following the steps in the order given should enable you to have
the system operational within a minimal amount of time. This quick setup assumes
that your 5014C-MF system has come to you with the processor and memory preinstalled. 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 specific components.
2-2
Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5014C-MF 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 5014CMF. 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 SuperServer 5014C-MF does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the
system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package
is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the order
given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time. Please
read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined
in the sections that follow.
2-1
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's 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.
- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
Warnings and Precautions!
!
!
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 a 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives 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 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.).

Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5014C-MF into a
rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
Basic Installation Procedure
The 5014C-MF server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located
on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply
screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
You may also detach the brackets from the chassis and move them back approx.
4 inches, where you will see a group of three holes to secure them to. You may
then secure them to the rack as just described. Note that installing in this manner
may prevent you from closing the rack door.
Installing with Optional Rackmount Kit (CSE-PT8)
This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit.. Each of
these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the chassis
and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1). This is
a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You should
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Rail Sections
Outer (rack) rail
Inner (chassis) rail
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly.
The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do
this by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the
chassis so that the three screw holes line up with the corresponding holes on the
chassis. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to
the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2) with the screws provided in the rackmount
kit. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You
will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, 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
2-5
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
Installing the Rack Rails
Locate a pair of front (short) and rear (long) brackets in the rackmount kit. The
brackets are marked with arrows to distinguish front from rear. Secure the front
and rear brackets to the rack rails using the screws and washers provided, but do
not fully tighten. Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5014C-MF
in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Adjust the length
of the rails according to the depth of the rack. Now tighten the screws holding the
brackets to the rails.
Next, secure the rail to the rack with the screws provided. Repeat this procedure
to attach the other rail to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at
the exact same height.
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next
step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis
rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping
the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when
inserting). The server may not slide in easily when installed for the first time; some
adjustment to the rails might be necessary. See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold
the front of the server to the rack.
When removing the server from a rack, you will need to release the locking tabs
on both rails to pull the unit completely out of the rack.

Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the SuperServer 5014C-MF 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 accomodate the width of the telco
rack. See Figure 2-4.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5014C-MF in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make
sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.
1. Accessing the inside of the system (Figure 2-5)
First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. If you installed
with rails, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, remove the screw at the back of the chassis
that secures the top cover. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover from the locked position. 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.
2. Check the CPU (processor)
You may have one processor already installed into the system board. The processor
should have its own heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 5014C-MF 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 an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing a PCI add-on card.
5. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the
airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. Also, check the air seals
for damage. The air seals are located under the blower fan and beneath the frame
cross section that separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the
chassis.

Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drives
and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
To access the internal hard drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover.
See step 1 in the previous section for instructions on removing the top chassis
cover.
2. Check the hard disk drive
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have an IDE or
Serial ATA drive already installed. If you need to install an IDE or Serial ATA drive,
please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
3. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by a single 10-cm blower fan. The system component layout
was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through the small 1U rackmount
space. Also 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.
4. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power
cord from the power supply unit 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).

Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has five 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/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes, it indicates a fan failure. When
on continuously it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables
obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too
warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and
operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers
are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter
5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5014C-MF 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 motherboard, memory
modules and floppy drives. When disconnecting power, you should first
power down the system with the operating system first and then unplug the
power cords of all the power supply units in the system.
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 specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
4-1
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
Motherboard 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). The battery must be replaced with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
manufacturer's instructions.
CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CDROM 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.
4-2
General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the SuperServer 5014C-MF clean and free of clutter.
The SuperServer 5014C-MF weighs approximately 16.5 lbs (7.5 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.
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.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
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 components and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient 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 motherboard 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 motherboard.

Operating Precautions
!
Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the
5014C-MF is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to
the 5014C-MF system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the P8SCT motherboard into the
SC513L-260 chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards.
All motherboard 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 finished working with the motherboard to
better cool and protect the system.
5-1
Handling the Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the P8SCT motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The
following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from electric
static discharge.
Precautions
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electric Static 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 motherboard, 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 motherboard.

Unpacking
The motherboard 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
Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P8SCT into the
SC513L-260 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate the most
common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove the motherboard,
follow the procedure in reverse order.
1. Accessing the inside of the system (see Figure 2-5)
Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis. Depressing both
of these buttons while pushing 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. (If
already installed in a rack, you must first release the retention screws that secure
the unit to the rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit
straight out until the rails lock into place.)
2. Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield
The P8SCT requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5" motherboard,
such as Supermicro's SC513L-260 1U rackmount. Make sure that the I/O ports
on the motherboard align properly with their respective holes in the I/O shield at
the back of the chassis.
3. Mounting the motherboard onto the motherboard tray
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning the board
holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible in the chassis. Insert screws
into all the mounting holes on your motherboard that line up with the standoffs
and tighten until snug (if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads).
Metal screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to provide a
continuous ground for the system.

Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
5-3
Connecting Cables
Now that the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control
panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed to prevent them from blocking the flow 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 on page
5-9 for connector locations.) Note that you may install either a single IDE drive or
a single Serial ATA drive.
Control Panel cable (JF1)
IDE drive cable (IDE) or Serial ATA cable (SATA#0)
Connecting Power Cables
The P8SCT has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (PW1) for connection
to the ATX power supply. In addition, there is a 4-pin secondary power connector
(PW2) that also must be connected to your power supply. See Section 5-9 for
power connector pin definitions.
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 ribbon 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.

Installing Memory
CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing
!
DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
1. Memory support
The P8SCT supports up to 4 GB of dual or single-channel, unbuffered ECC or
unbuffered non-ECC DDR2-533 or DDR2-400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and noninterleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots.
Populating two slots at a time (starting with Bank 1: DIMM1A and DIMM 1B) with
the same size and type of memory modules will result in dual-channel (two-way
interleaved) operation, which is faster than single channel operation.
2. Installing memory modules
Insert each memory module vertically. Pay attention to the notches along the bottom
of the module to prevent inserting it incorrectly. Gently press down on the DIMM
module until it snaps into place in the slot (see Figure 5-3).

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC513L-260 chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in
the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If a step is
unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintainance is a
Philips screwdriver.
6-1
Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment
from ESD discharge.
Precautions
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard, 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 motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system control buttons and
status indicators. These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to
simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the motherboard to JP4
on the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs
into pin 1 on both JF1 and JP4. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow 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.

System Fan
A 10-cm blower fan provides the cooling for the SuperServer 5014C-MF. The chassis includes air seals under the blower fan and at the chassis cross section, which
separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis to promote
better airflow. It is highly important that the air seal is properly installed and making
a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis.
The fan can adjust its speed according to the heat level sensed in the system,
which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled
by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-11).
System Fan Failure
If the fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact your
vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.

SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
Serial ATA Drive Installation
1. Accessing the inside of the system
The Serial ATA drive is installed internally in the 5014C-MF. To add or remove the
Serial ATA drive, you must first remove the top chassis cover to gain access to the
inside of the system.
First, power down the system (it is also recommended to remove the AC power
cord) then release the retention screws near the handles 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, remove the screw at the back of the chassis
that secures the top cover to the chassis. Depress the two buttons on the top of
the chassis to release the top cover from the locked position. 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.
2. Installing/removing a Serial ATA drive
The hard drive is mounted in a tray at the right rear area of the server. The tray is
quipped with rubber grommets to reduce vibration (Figure 6-3, #1). Remove the
screws that secure the hard drive to the chassis and then lift it of the standoffs, as
shown in Figure 6-4. To remove a hard drive, unscrew the screws that secure it
to the tray (Figure 6-3, #3) and then remove the drive. To add a drive, position it
in the tray with the printed circuit board side facing down and with the holes in the
drive and the holes in the tray aligned. You can install it in either the top or the
bottom half of the tray. Then secure the drive to the tray with four screws (two on
each side), as shown in Figure 6-3.

Power Supply
The SuperServer 5014C-MF has a single 260 watt power supply. This power supply has the capability of operating at 100 - 240 input volts. Shutdown the system
and then unplug the AC power cord to completely remove power from the system
before removing the power supply.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace
the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro
(PWS-0055 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).
Replacing the Power Supply
1. Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5014C-MF
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover. To do so,
first release the retention screws near the handles 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, remove the screw at the back of the chassis that secures
the top cover to the chassis. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to
release the top cover from the locked position. 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.
2. Removing the power supply
First shut down the system and unplug the power cord. To remove the failed power
unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply, which secure it to
the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of the chassis. (The power cord
should have already been removed.)
3. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully insert the new
unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two screws at the rear of
the unit. Before reconnecting the power cord, make sure the power switch on the
power supply is in the off position. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the
chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing the
power button on the front of the system.

Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS for the P8SCT. The Award ROM BIOS
is stored in a Flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based
program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added
or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Refer to the Manual
Download area of our web site for any changes to the BIOS that are not reflected
in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and
PS/2® compatible computers. The AwardBIOS Flash chip stores the system parameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays, etc.
CMOS requires very little power. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery
provides power to the BIOS Flash chip, enabling it to retain the system parameters.
Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is then configured with the
values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control when the
computer is powered on.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed
by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As
the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the
BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens,
such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 7-3 gives detailed descriptions of
each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Software Installation
If you do not wish to configure SATA RAID, proceed directly to Section C-3.
After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure Intel's ICH6R
SATA RAID before you install the Operating System and other software drivers.
The necessary drivers and user's guides are all included on the Supermicro CDs
that came packaged with the system.
C-1 Configuring Intel's ICH6R SATA RAID Function
To configure SATA RAID functions, you must first configure the desired RAID
level with the ICH6R SATA RAID Utility program before you install the operating
system and other software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the
Supermicro CDs that came packaged with your system.
Note: the current ICH6R SATA RAID Utility version can only support Windows
XP/2000/2003 and Linux/SuSE Operating Systems.
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface that uses a single cable with a
minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. It
is a serial link that supports SATA transfer rates of up to 150MBps. Because the
serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel ATA (PATA), SATA systems have better airflow and can be installed in smaller
chassis than PATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40
cm, while SATA cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, SATA provides better
functionality than PATA.
Intel's ICH6R Serial RAID
Located in the South Bridge of the E7221 Copper River Chipset, the I/O Controller
Hub (ICH6R) provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system.
It supports a one-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and a
Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controller, which supports up to four Serial ATA ports and
up to two sets of RAID drives. RAID 0 (Striping), RAID 1 (Mirroring) and RAID
10 (Striping+Mirroring) are supported. The ICH6R supports both PATA and SATA
device configurations.
ATA Operating Modes
You can select from the following two modes: Legacy mode and Native mode.
C-1
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
SATA Operating Modes
You can select from the following modes: Auto, Combined, Enhanced, and SATA
Only Mode. The number of devices supported by these modes are listed below:

Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new array
or if it appears grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use it as
part of an array. Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before they
can be used in an array.
Caution: Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes any
