Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MR
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-MR 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-MR 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 5014CMR. 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-MR 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-MR 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 drive 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.).

2-4
Installing the System into a Rack
(Rack hardware optional)
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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-MR 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).
Installing with Rackmount Kit
This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).
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 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.
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
B
A
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Chassis Rails
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 position
then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack
rail assemblies.
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the chassis making sure the three screw holes line up. Note that these two rails
are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure
2-2). 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: 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
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the 5014C-MR in the rack (see Rack and Server
Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies
at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside
of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.
Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are
at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.

SUPERSERVER 5014C-MR User's Manual
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). 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.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Rack: w/ Rackmount Kit
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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.

Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5014C-MR 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 5014C-MR (Figure 2-7)
First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two
handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a
"click"). Then, remove the screws from the lips on either side of the chassis top
cover (see Figure 2-5 for location). Next, depress the two buttons on the top

of the chassis to release the top cover 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.
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-MR 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.

SUPERSERVER 5014C-MR User's Manual
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.
Note: Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA drive
have been properly installed and all essential connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
For servicing the Serial ATA, CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove
the top chassis cover. The Serial ATA disk drive is located at the front right side of
the chassis.
2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to
the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have a Serial ATA
hard drive already installed. If you need to install a Serial ATA hard drive, please
refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by one 10-cm input 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 fan.
5. 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 SC512C-260 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 (on and not flashing) 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 overheat condition exists.
NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing .
NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing.
HDD: Channel activity for all HDDs. This light indicates CD-ROM drive
activity when flashing.

Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from
harm and the SuperServer 5014C-MR 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 drive. 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-MR 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). 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.
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-MR clean and free of clutter.
The SuperServer 5014C-MR weighs approximately 23 lbs (~10.5 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-MR is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to
the 5014C-MR system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.

Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
P8SCi motherboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards.
All motherboard jumpers and connections are also described and a layout and
quick reference chart are included in this chapter. 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 P8SCi 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.
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.

Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P8SCi into the
SC512C-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 5014C-MR (see Figure 2-7)
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 P8SCi requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5" motherboard,
such as Supermicro's SC512C 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 on the bottom of 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.
5-2
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
should be connected. (See the layout on page 5-9 for connector locations.)
CD-ROM Drive Cable (IDE)
Floppy Drive Cable (Floppy)
Serial ATA Device Cables (SATA0)
Control Panel Cable (JF1)
USB Cable (USB6/7)
Connecting Power Cables
The P8SCi has one 24-pin primary power supply connector ("ATX power") at J1
and one 4-pin power connector at J2 for connection to the ATX power supply. See
Chapter 5 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.

Heatsink Installation
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 on top of the CPU so
that the four mounting holes are aligned with
those on the retention mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (eg. the #1
and the #2 screws) until just snug (do not
fully tighten the screws, which may damage
the CPU).
4. Finish the installation by fully tightening all
four screws.
Heatsink Removal
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws
from in the sequence as show in the picture
on the right.
2. Hold and gently wriggle the heatsink to
loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use excessive force when loosening the heatsink!)
3. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it
from the CPU socket.

Installing Memory
CAUTION! Exercise extreme care when installing or removing
DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage.
!
1. Memory support
The P8SCi supports up to 4 GB of DDR2-533/400 unbuffered ECC SDRAM. The
P8SCi employs a dual-channel memory configuration, meaning DIMM sockets
must be populated in pairs with the same size/same type of memory modules.
2. Installing memory modules
Insert each memory module vertically. Pay attention to the notch 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).

Adding PCI Cards
1. 64-bit PCI-X slot
The 5014C-MR has a riser card (p/n CSE-RR1U-X) designed specifically for use in
the SC512C-260 1U rackmount chassis (included with the system). This riser card
allows an installed PCI-X card to sit at a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the
chassis. This riser card accommodates one 64-bit, 133 MHz (3.3V) PCI-X card.
2. Card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in Step 1.
Begin by removing the PCI slot shield. Fully seat the PCI card into the riser card
and screw it into the metal retention rail. Then, insert the riser card into the PCI slot
on the motherboard, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the
card. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the rear of the
chassis. The expansion slot shield protects the motherboard and its components
from EMI and aids in proper ventilation, so make sure the shield covers the PCI
slot if there is no expansion card installed.

Pins
To modify the operation of the motherboard, jumpers can be used to choose
Jumper
between optional settings. Jumpers
create shorts between two pins to
change the function of the connector.
Setting
Pin 1 is identified with a square solder
pad on the printed circuit board. See
the motherboard 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.
CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins,
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents
of CMOS.
To clear CMOS:
1) First shut down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2) With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as
a small screwdriver.
3) Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
4) Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC512C-260 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 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 Fans
One 100-mm blower fan provides the cooling for the SuperServer 5014C-MR. The
chassis includes air seals under the blower fans 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 quiter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by
a setting BIOS (see page 7-13).
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. The fan sits on two
mounting posts secured with screws. See Figure 6-3.

Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
CD-ROM/Serial ATA/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing or removing the CD-ROM,
Serial ATA or floppy disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the
5014C-MR by removing the top cover of the chassis.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM and a "slim" floppy drive will fit in the 5014C-MR.
Serial ATA Drive Installation
The SATA drive is located at the front of the chassis, making it easily accessible for
installation and removal. The SATA drive is not hot-swappable, meaning system
power must be turned off before installing or removing.
To install or remove the drive, first power down the system and then remove the top
cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive,
then push the drive tray out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through
the front of the chassis. Remove the drive from the drive tray.
To add a new SATA drive, install a drive into the tray with the printed circuit board
side facing down and so that the mounting holes align with those in the tray. Secure
the drive to the tray with the four screws. Replace the top cover when finished.
See Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-4. Removing the SATA/CD-ROM/Floppy Drive
6-4
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM
and floppy drive bays. Both the CD-ROM and the floppy drives must have a "slim"
profile to fit into the 5014C-MR. If you cannot remove the top cover with the system
remaining in the rack, follow the procedure below.
First, shutdown the system and disconnect all cables from the back of the server
chassis. Make sure the system is supported from underneath then remove the
front bracket screws that secure the unit to the rack. Carefully lift the server out
of the rack.
To open the cover, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis and at the
same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift off the
top cover to gain full access to the inside of the server. You must power down the
system before installing or removing CD-ROM, floppy or Serial ATA drives. See
Figure 6-4.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed
in their bays.
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
•
A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide
for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to
drive B.

Power Supply
The SuperServer 5014C-MR has a single 260 watt power supply. This power supply
has the capability of operating at 100 - 240 input volts. Power down 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 system
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover. To do so,
first release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack. Grasp the two
handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a
"click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top
cover and push it away from you. 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 unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed power unit,
remove the two screws on the back of the power supply and a third from the front
of the power supply, which secures it to the bottom of 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 and the third at the front. Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push the unit back into the rack. Finish by turning the power
switch on the power supply on, and then depress the power button on the front of
the system.

Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS Setup utility for the P8SCi. The AwardBIOS
is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based
program. Due to periodic changes in the BIOS, some settings may have been
added or deleted that might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to
the Manual Download area of the Supermicro web site (www.supermicro.com) for
any such changes.
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>, and so on.)
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 configured.
“Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. 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: BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the
option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Options printed in
Bold are the default settings.
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.
Note: fan speed is controlled by the “Fan Speed Control Mode” setting in BIOS. The
recommended setting for this server is “3-pin (Server)” (see page 7-13).

Software Installation
After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure Intel's ICH6R
SATA RAID before installing the Windows Operating System and other software
drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro CDs that came
packaged with your motherboard. (If you do not wish to configure onboard SATA
RAID functions, please go directly to Section C-5 to install the Operating System
& software.)
C-1 Configuring Intel ICH6R SATA RAID Function
To configure SATA RAID functions, you must first configure the desired RAID
Level in the Intel ICH6R SATA RAID Utility program. Note that the current version
of the ICH6R SATA RAID Utility can only support Windows XP/2000 Operating
Systems.
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with a
minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. SATA
is a serial link which supports transfer rates from 150 MBps. 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 Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm
long, 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 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 that supports up to four Serial ATA ports and up to two sets
of RAID drives. The ICH6R supports the following Parallel ATA and Serial ATA
device configurations:
