Below are the main features of the X6DHR-3G2. See Figure 1-1 for a system block diagram of the chipset. Processors The X6DHR-3G2 supports single or dual 604-pin Intel Xeon processors of up to 3.60 GHz at an 800 MHz FSB. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing of supported processors. Memory The X6DHR-3G2 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 16 GB of DDR2-400 SDRAM. The dual-channel memory bus requires memory modules to be installed two at a time. Serial Attached SCSI/Serial ATA An Adaptec 9410W SAS/SATA controller is integrated into the X6DHR-3G2 to provide a four-port Serial Attached SCSI/Serial ATA subsystem, which supports RAID levels 0 and 1, 10 and JBOD. The X6DHR-3G2 also has a slot for a LP ZCR daughter card (AOC-SOZCR1) to supply ZCR function. The use of a ZCR card in this slot will also provide RAID 5 support. Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hotswap capability and RAID function of the SAS/SATA drives. PCI Expansion Slots Two riser cards have been included with the server to support PCI expansion. The CSE-RR1U-X riser fits into the 133 MHz PCI-X slot on the X6DHR-3G2 to support a standard size (full-height, full-length) PCI-X add-on card (any speed). The CSE-RR1U-XLP fits into the 100 MHz PCI-X slot to support one low profile (half-height, half-length) PCI-X add-on card (of either 100 or 66 MHz). An additional two riser cards are available as an option to support add-on cards in the SXB x8 PCI-E slots (CSE-RR1U-EL and CSE-RR1U-ELP). 1-2 Chapter 1: Introduction ATI Graphics Controller An ATI video controller based on the Rage XL 8 MB graphics chip is integrated onboard the X6DHR-3G2. Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and AGP texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 512 MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus. Onboard Controllers/Ports The X6DHR-3G2 provides one floppy drive controller and two onboard IDE controllers, which support up to four hard drives or ATAPI devices. Backpanel I/O ports include one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and a video (monitor) port. An Intel 82546GB Ethernet controller is also included to support two gigabit LAN ports. Other Features Other onboard features are included to promote system health. These include various voltage monitors, two CPU temperature sensors, four fan speed sensors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue. 1-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 1-3 Server Chassis Features The SC813T-500 is one of Supermicro's third-generation 1U chassis and features four hot-swap SAS/SATA drive bays, a slim CD-ROM drive, a slim 3.5" floppy drive and a revolutionary cooling design that can keep today's most powerful processors running well below their temperature thresholds. The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813T-500 chassis. System Power The SC813T-500 chassis includes a single 500W cold-swap power supply. SAS/SATA Subsystem For the 6014H-32, the SC813T-500 chassis was designed to support four SAS or four SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hotswap capability of the SAS/SATA drives. Control Panel The SC813T-500 control panel provides important system monitoring and control information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Also present are a main power button and a system reset button. I/O Backplane The SC813T-500 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O backplane provides one fullheight full-length and one half-height half-length slots for PCI add-on cards, one COM port (the other is internal), one VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Ethernet (LAN) ports. Cooling System The SC813T-500 chassis' revolutionary cooling design has been optimized to provide sufficient cooling for dual Xeon configurations. The SC813T-500 includes two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans located in the middle of the chassis.

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 SuperServer 6014H-32 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 specific components. 2-2 Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6014H-32 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 6014H32. 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 box the SuperServer 6014H-32 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. 2-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 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, etc.). ! 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 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 hot plug SAS/SATA drives and power supply units 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.). 2-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 2-4 Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6014H-32 into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6014H-32 has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. 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. Identifying the Sections of the Rails You should have received a rack mounting kit with the SuperServer 6014H-32. The kit includes two sets of chassis rails (four pieces total, two of which are already installed on the chassis) and two sets of rack rails (four pieces total). Figure 2-1 displays the two right-side chassis rails and the two right-side rack rails. Note that two of the four chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) are already attached to the chassis. Installing the Rack Rails Begin by joining one set of rack rails corresponding to either the left or the right side of the rack. Do this by aligning the studs of one rail with the holes of the other rail. Push the studs into the grooved holes and then push the rail to slide the studs to the end of the groove. Repeat this with the rack rails used for the other side. Next, determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6014H-32 in the rack. (See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the assembled rack rails at the desired location in 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 both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward. Locking Tabs: Both of the two chassis rails on each side have a locking tab (four total), 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 operating position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing. The two sets of locking tabs mean there are two locked positions when the chassis is extended from the rack, allowing easy access when servicing the system. Note that on one side, you push the locking tab up to release it and on the other side you push it down to release. 2-4 Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached - one to each side of the chassis. Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided. Chassis Rail 2 should be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2). Do this for both sides of the chassis. Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rails Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails 2-5 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 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 thumb screws that hold the front of the server to the rack. Figure 2-3. Installing the Server into a Rack 2-6 Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 6014H-32 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 accommodate the width of the telco rack. Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack 2-7 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 6014H-32 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. 1. Accessing the inside of the 6014H-32 (see Figure 2-5) 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. There is a large rectangular recess in the middle front of the top cover to help you 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 CPUs (processors) You should have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation. 3. CPU Speed The CPU speed should automatically be detected so you will not need to change any jumpers or settings in the BIOS Setup utility. 4. Check the system memory Your 6014H-32 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. 5. Installing add-on cards If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards. 6. Check all cable connections and airflow Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections. 2-8 Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-5. Accessing the Inside of the SuperServer 6014H-32 (with optional front bezel shown) 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. 1. Accessing the drive bays All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SAS/SATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover or powering down the system. 2. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives A slim CD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to the system. 3. Check the SAS/SATA disk drives Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install SAS/SATA drives, please refer to Chapter 6. 2-9 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 4. Check the airflow Airflow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans. The system component layout was carefully designed to direct the airflow to the components that generate the most heat. 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. 5. Supplying power to the system The last thing you must do is to provide power to the system. Plug the power cord from the power supply module 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). Finish by depressing the power button on the front of the chassis to start the system. 2-10 Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface 3-1 Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SAS/SATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take. 3-2 Control Panel Buttons There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button. Reset: Use the reset switch to reboot the system. Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system. 3-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 3-3 Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of th SC813T-500 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. 2 NIC2: Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing . 1 NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. 3-2 Chapter 3: System Interface HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6014H-32 this light indicates SAS/SATA and/or CD-ROM drive activity when flashing. Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. 3-4 SAS/SATA Drive Carrier LED Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED (on the front of the drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed. Note: The second LED on the SAS/SATA carriers is not used. 3-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual Notes 3-4 Chapter 4: System Safety Chapter 4 System Safety 4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions ! Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6014H-32 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 the CD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for SAS/SATA drives). When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply modules 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 electrostatic discharge as protection from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically designed as electrical insulators. The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be plugged into grounded electrical outlets. 4-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (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 6014H-32 clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 6014H-32 weighs approximately 38 lbs (17.3 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 any board from its 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 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 4-4 Operating Precautions ! Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6014H-32 is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6014H-32 system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1. Installing the Onboard Battery LITHIUM BATTERY LITHIUM BATTERY OR BATTERY HOLDER BATTERY HOLDER 4-4 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Chapter 5 Advanced Serverboard Setup This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X6DHR-3G2 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 finished working on the serverboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently. 5-1 Handling the Serverboard Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. 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 sufficient to protect your equipment from static 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 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 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual 5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation ! When handling the processor package, 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 always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the (optional) heatsink. The X6DHR-3G2 can support either one or two Xeon 604-pin processors. If installing one processor only, install it into CPU socket #1. 1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket. Lift the lever completely or you will damage the CPU socket when power is applied. (Install a processor into CPU #1 socket first.) 2. Install the CPU in the socket. Make sure that pin 1 of the CPU is seated on pin 1 of the socket (both corners are marked with a triangle). When using only one CPU, install it into CPU socket #1 (CPU socket #2 is automatically disabled if only one CPU is used). 3. Press the lever down until you hear it *click* into the locked position. See Figure 5-1 for pictures of the 604-pin CPU socket before and after the processor is installed. Socket lever Pin 1 Socket lever in locked position 4. To install the heatsink (optional), do not apply any thermal compound to the heatsink or CPU die - the proper amount has already been applied. Place the heatsink directly on the CPU so that the four mounting holes are aligned with those on the retention mechanism. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat on the CPU - if not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade the heat dissipation function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to overheat. 5-2 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 5. Screw in two diagonal screws until just snug (eg. screws #1 and #2 in Figure 5-2 - do not fully tighten), then do the same with the remaining two diagonal screws. Finish by fully tightening all four screws (see Figure 5-2). 6. If installing two processors, repeat these steps to install the second processor in the CPU #2 slot. Figure 5-1. 604-pin PGA Socket: Empty and with Processor Installed Warning! ! Make sure you lift the lever completely when installing the CPU. If the lever is only partly raised, damage to the socket or CPU may result. Figure 5-2. Heatsink Installation (heatsinks are optional) 5-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual 5-3 Connecting Cables 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 ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed in preconfigured systems 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 reroute them as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the pin 1 locations). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when routing the cables. The following peripheral data cables (with their connector locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this chapter for connector locations. Floppy Drive cable (J12) (Floppy power cable to J9 on SATA backplane) CD-ROM Drive cable (J5) (CD-ROM power cable to J10 on SATA backplane) SAS cables (JSM1) Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page) Connecting Power Cables The X6DHR-3G2 has a 20-pin primary power supply connector designated "J3" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to J3 to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions. In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 4-pin Secondary ATX Power connection at J38 and the 8-pin processor power connector at J1D1. 5-4 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Connecting the Control Panel JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-3 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators. Please note that 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 Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descriptions of JF1. Figure 5-3.

Rear Panel I/O Ports SAS 5-5 Installing Memory Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules. CAUTION Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is interleaved to improve performance (see step 1). DIMM Installation (See Figure 5-5) 1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with Bank 1 (both DIMM#1A and DIMM#1B). The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at a time, beginning with Bank 0, then Bank 1 and so on. 2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. 3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot. Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above). 5-6 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup Memory Support The X6DHR-3G2 supports up to 16 GB of registered ECC DDR2-400 SDRAM. You should not mix DIMMs of different sizes and speeds. See Figure 5-5 for installing and removing memory modules. Figure 5-5a. Installing DIMM into Slot Notch Release Tab Notch Note: Notches should align with their receptive points on the slot Release Tab To Install: Insert module vertically and press down until it snaps into place. Pay attention to the bottom notches. To Remove: Use your thumbs to gently push each release tab outward to free the DIMM from the slot. Figure 5-5b. Top View of DDR Slot 5-7 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual 5-6 Adding PCI Cards 1. PCI slots The 6014H-32 can accommodate add-on cards in both the PCI-X 133 MHz and the PCI-X 100 MHz slot with the use of two riser cards, which are included with the system: the CSE-RR1U-X riser supports a standard size card in slot #6 and the CSE-RR1U-XLP riser supports a low profile card in slot #7). An additional two riser cards are available as an option to support add-on cards in the SXB-E1 and SXB-E2 x8 (PCI-Express) slots: the CSE-RR1U-EL riser (for a standard size card) and the CSE-RR1U-ELP (for a low profile card). 2. PCI card installation Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the correct riser card. Begin by releasing the locking tab that corresponds to the slot you wish to populate. Insert the expansion card into the correct riser card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. 5-8 Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup 5-7 Serverboard Details Figure 5-6.

Tools Required The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips screwdriver. 6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electricstatic 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 damage. Precautions Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag. Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts. When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard. 6-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual Figure 6-1.

SATA Port Control Panel The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. These wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on 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 airflow path. The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1 can be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup." 6-2 Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup 6-3 System Fans Two 10-cm blower fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 6014H32. 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. System Fan Failure Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails, the remaining fan 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 (see instructions on p. 2-8) while the system is still running to determine which of the two fans has failed. Then power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord(s) is also recommended as a safety precaution. Replacing System Cooling Fans 1. Removing a fan After turning off the power to the system, first remove the chassis cover and unplug the fan cable from the motherboard. Unscrew the failed blower fan from the chassis and pull it completely out from the serverboard. 2.Installing a new fan Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro: p/n FAN-0059). Install the new fan in its proper place in the chassis by positioning it on the two mounting posts. Secure the fan to the chassis with the screws you removed previously, then attach the fan wires to the same chassis fan header you removed it from. Make sure the air seal under the fan is properly installed and creating a good seal. Power up the system and check that the fan is working properly and that the LED on the control panel has turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover. 6-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 10-cm Blower Fans Figure 6-2. System Cooling Fans (with optional front bezel shown) 6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal Removing the Front Bezel If your system has a front bezel (optional) attached to the chassis, you must first remove it to gain access to the drive bays. To remove the bezel, first unlock the front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-3). Carefully remove the bezel with both hands. A filter located within the bezel can be removed for replacement/cleaning. It is recommended that you keep a maintenance log of filter cleaning/replacement, since its condition will affect the airflow throughout the whole system. 6-4 Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Figure 6-3. Removing the Front Bezel 1. Unlock 2. Press release knob 3. Remove bezel assembly Accessing the Drive Bays SAS/SATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SAS/SATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6014H-32 by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions. Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 6014H-32. 6-5 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual SAS/SATA Drive Installation 1. Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a drive carrier The SAS/SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the SAS/SATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new SAS/SATA drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4. Figure 6-4. Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Carrier ! ! Use caution when working around the SAS/SATA 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 airflow. Important: Regardless of how many SAS/SATA hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airflow. 6-6 Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup 2. Installing/removing hot-swap SAS/SATA drives The SAS/SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5). Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the SAS/SATA drives. Figure 6-5. Removing a SAS/SATA Drive from the Server SAS/SATA Power Cables SAS and SATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airflow through the chassis. See the serverboard layout diagram for the location of the cable connections. SAS/SATA Backplane The SAS/SATA 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 drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no jumpers or switches present on it. 6-7 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 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. The 6014H-32 accomodates only slim-line CD-ROM drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim-line CD-ROM drive in the 6014H-32 server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or CD-ROM drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server 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 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. With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive you want to remove. Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis. Pull the tab away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis. Add a new drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint *click* of the locking tab when the drive is fully inserted. Remember to reconnect the data and power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power to the system. Please be aware of the following: • The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires. • A color mark on a cable 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. 6-8 Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup 6-5 Power Supply The SuperServer 6014H-32 has a single 500 watt power supply, which is autoswitching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating. Power Supply Failure If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply unit in the 6014H-32, power must be completely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply unit for whatever reason. Removing/Replacing the Power Supply 1. Removing the power supply First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord from the system. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two release buttons on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push the chassis top rearward about one inch. To remove the failed power unit, push the beige colored release tab to the right and then carefully lift the unit up about 1/2 inch only. If you lift too high, you may damage the power distribution board that the other end of the unit is connected to. Then, pull the power unit straight back to unplug it from the power distribution board. See Figure 6-6. 2. Installing a new power supply Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output voltage and wattage. It is highly recommended to replace it with exactly the same model power supply. Carefully insert the new unit into position to plug it into the power distribution board, making sure you are not holding it at too great an angle, which may damage the power distribution board. Push it completely into the power distribution board and seat it in the chassis. When correctly installed it should be laying flat - make sure the end of the power supply is not sitting on the stop in the chassis. Reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and reposition the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis front control panel. 6-9 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual Figure 6-6. Removing/Replacing the Power Supply 6-10 Chapter 7: BIOS Chapter 7 BIOS 7-1 Introduction This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X6DHR-3G2. The Phoenix 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. Please refer to Supermicro's web site: <http://www.supermicro.com> for any changes to BIOS that may not be 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 Phoenix BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, such as type of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system parameters. Whenever the computer is powered-on, the computer is configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot-up. 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 the <Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot, see below. 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 Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 7-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility. Note: fan speed is controlled by the “Fan Speed Control Mode” setting in BIOS (see page 7-15). The recommended setting for the 6014H-32 is “3-pin (Server)” 7-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User's Manual 7-2 Running Setup *Default settings are in bold text unless otherwise noted.

A-5 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual Notes A-6 Appendix B: Software Installation Appendix B Software Installation B-1 Introduction to the Adaptec SATA RAID Controller 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. It is a serial link which supports SATA Transfer rates from 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 Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while Serial ATA cables can extend up to one meter. Overall, Serial ATA provides better functionality than Parallel ATA. Introduction to the Intel 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub Located in the South Bridge of the Intel E7520 Chipset, the 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system. It supports 2-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and two Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controllers, which support up to two Serial ATA ports and up to two RAID drives. The 6300ESB I/O Controller Hub supports the following Parallel ATA (PATA) and Serial (SATA) device configurations: ATA Operating Mode You can select from the following two modes: Combined Mode and Enhanced Mode. B-1 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual Combined Mode In this mode, system BIOS assigns the traditional IRQ 14 and IRQ 15 for the use of HDD. Up to 4 ATA devices are supported by this mode. Within the Combined Mode, the following three modes are supported: *Non-Combined Mode: Parallel ATA only:with the maximum of 4 devices supported; *Non-Combined Mode: Serial ATA only:with the maximum of 2 devices supported; *Combined Mode: SATA devices and PATA: with the support of 2 devices each (total: 4 devices maximum). (For IDE/SATA configurations, please refer to the table below.) Primary Master(=PM) Yes Yes No No No No Primary Slave(=PS) Yes No Yes No No No Secondary Master(=SM) Yes No No Yes No No Secondary Slave(=SS) Yes No No No Yes No SATA Port0 No SM SM PM PM PM SATA Port1 No SS SS PS PS PS *Note: (No=Not Present, Yes=Present) Also, if Logical Primary is selected, the IDE channels are no longer available. Enhanced Mode In this mode, system BIOS will automatically search for all available IRQs for the use of HDD. For newer Operating Systems that support the Enhanced Mode, such as Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows 2003, you can set SATA and PATA to the Enhanced Mode. (*The newer Operating Systems can accommodate both Enhanced Mode and Combined Mode and support up to 6 ATA devices.) (*Please refer to the "Advanced Chipset Control" under the "Advanced" Setup in the BIOS for the selection of Combined Mode or Enhanced Mode,).

B-3 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual Adaptec SATA with HostRAID Controller Driver Adaptec's Embedded Serial ATA RAID with HostRAID controller adds RAID functionality to the Serial ATA I/O controller by supporting RAID 0 (Striping) or RAID 1 (Mirroring) to enhance the industry's pioneer PCI-to-e host controller products. RAID striping (RAID 0) can greatly improve hard disk I/O performance because of its capability in striping data across multiple drives. RAID mirroring (RAID 1) allows the data to be simultaneously written to two drives, so critical data is always available even if a single hard disk fails. Due to the built-in functionality, the X6DH3-G2 is specially designed to keep pace with the increasing performance demands of computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data accessibility regardless of a single disk failure. By incorporating the Adaptec Embedded Serial ATA into the motherboard design, Supermicro's X6DH3-G2 offers the user with the benefits of SATARAID without the high costs associated with hardware RAID applications. (*Note: For Adaptec's RAID Driver Installation Instructions, please refer to the Adaptec RAID Controller User's Guide: "Emb_SA_RAID_UG.pdf" in the CD that came with this motherboard. You can also download a copy of Adaptec's User's Guide from our web site at www.supermicro.com.)

It is recommended that you do not change the default setting.) 4. The item: "Create RAID via" allows you to select between the different creating methods for RAID 0 and RAID 1. The following table gives examples of when each is appropriate. Raid Level RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 1 Create Via No Init Migrate (*Note) Build1 RAID 1 Clear RAID 1 Quick RAID 1 Init When Appropriate Creating a RAID 0 on new drives Creating a RAID 0 from one new drive and one drive with data you wish to preserve Any time you wish to create a RAID 1, but especially if you have data on one drive that you wish to preserve Creating a RAID 1 on new drives, or when you want to ensure that the array contains no data after creation. Fastest way to create a RAID 1. Appropriate when using new drives Note: If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to select the source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved. However, the data on the new drive will be lost. 5. When you are finished, press Done (as the screen shown below). B-9 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual Notes: 1. Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost. 2. If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 from ACU, you can restart it by pressing Ctrl+R. 3. A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data mis-compares if you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern. 4. The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID . However, during a build operation, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive. 5. When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive. 6. Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows dynamic disks (volumes), as it will result in data loss. Warning: Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If you do, you will not be able to restart, or to recover the data that was on the source drive.

The Array Properties menu displays. B-18 Appendix B: Software Installation Assigning Array Properties Once you've create a new array, you are ready to assign the properties to the array. Caution: Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you cannot change the array properties using the ACU. You will need to use the Adaptec Storage Manager - Browser Edition. (Refer to Adaptec's User's Guide in the enclosed CD.) To assign properties to the new array: 1. In the Array Properties menu, select an array type and press Enter. Note that only the available array types: RAID 0, and RAID1, are displayed on the screen. (RAID 0 or RAID 1 requires two drives.) 2. Under the item "Arrays Label", type in an label and press Enter. The label shall not be more than 15 characters. 3. For RAID 0, select the desired stripe size. Available stripe sizes are 16, 32, and 64 KB-default. It is recommended that you do not change the default setting.) 4. The item: "Create RAID via" allows you to select between the different creating methods for RAID 0 and RAID 1. The following table gives examples of when each is appropriate. Raid Level RAID 0 RAID 0 RAID 1 Create Via No Init Migrate (*Note) Build1 RAID 1 Clear RAID 1 Quick RAID 1 Init When Appropriate Creating a RAID 0 on new drives Creating a RAID 0 from one new drive and one drive with data you wish to preserve Any time you wish to create a RAID 1, but especially if you have data on one drive that you wish to preserve Creating a RAID 1 on new drives, or when you want to ensure that the array contains no data after creation. Fastest way to create a RAID 1. Appropriate when using new drives Note: If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to select the source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved. However, the data on the new drive will be lost. 5. When you are finished, press Done. Notes: 1. Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on the new drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost. 2. If you stop the Build or Clear process on a RAID 1 from ACU, you can restart it by pressing Ctrl+R. B-19 SUPERSERVER 6014H-32 User’s Manual 3. A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data mis-compares if you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern. 4. The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID . However, during a build operation, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive. 5. When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the capacity of the source drive. 6. Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows dynamic disks (volumes), as it will result in data loss. Warning: Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If you do, you will not be able to restart, or to recover the data that was on the source drive. Adding a Bootable Array To make an array bootable: 1. From the Main menu, select Manage Arrays. 2. From the List of Arrays, select the array you want to make bootable, and press Ctrl+B. 3. Enter Y to create a bootable array when the following message is displayed: "This will make all other existing bootable array non-bootable. Do you want to make this array bootable? (Yes/No):" Then, a bootable array will be created. An asterisk will appear next to the bootable array. Deleting a Bootable Array To delete a bootable array: 1. From the Main menu, select Manage Arrays. 2. From the List of Arrays, select the bootable array (*) you want to delete, and press Ctrl+B. (* a bootable array is the array marked with an asterisk.) 3. Enter Y to delete a bootable array when the following message is displayed: "The array is already marked bootable. Do you want to make this array as not bootable? (Yes/No):" Then, the bootable array will be deleted and the asterisk will disappear. Note: do not use the delete key to delete the bootable array. B-20 Appendix B: Software Installation 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 data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in an array, you may not be able to use the array again. Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks are associated with a particular array, please refer to Viewing Array Properties. To initialize drives: 1. Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC utility. 2. From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility (ACU). 3. Select Initialize Drives. 4. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the disk you wish to initialize and press Insert. 5. Repeat Step 4 so that both drives to be initialized are selected. 6. Press Enter. 7. Read the warning message displayed in the screen. 8. Make sure that you have selected the correct disk drives to initialize. If correct, type Y to continue. Rebuilding Arrays Notes: Rebuilding applies to Fault Tolerant array (RAID 1) only. If an array Build process (or initialization) is interrupted or critical with one member missing, you must perform a Rebuild to get the array to Optimal status. For a critical array Rebuild operation, the optimal drive is the source drive. If no spare array exists and a hard disk drive fails, you need to create a spare before you can rebuild an array. To Rebuild an array: 1. From the Main Menu, select Manage Arrays. From the List of Arrays, select the array you want to Rebuild. 2. Press Ctrl+R to Rebuild.
