Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014P32/6014P-32R up and running. Following these steps in the order given should
enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time.
This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors
and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a
serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section
noted in each step for details on installing specific components.
2-2
Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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 6014P-32/6014P32R. 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. Be sure to read the Rack
and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3
Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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 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 SCSI/SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before
touching them.
- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the
room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an
environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have
on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of
equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 6014P-32/6014P-32R into a
rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system 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 Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Proceed to the next step. A
Figure 2-1. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
(right side rail shown)
2-4
Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach
a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear
side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper
distance so that the rail can fit snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the
front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side
of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
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 the Rack Rails
2-5
SUPERSERVER 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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 &quot;click&quot;. Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold
the front of the server to the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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.

Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 6014P-32/6014P-32R in the rack, you will need to open the top
cover to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections
have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the system (see Figure 2-5)
First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack. Grasp the
two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it locks (you will
hear a &quot;click&quot;). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release
the top cover (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis)
until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the
chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to
pull the system out past the locked position.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You may have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. The
processors need a heatsink installed. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
and heatsink installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make
sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory,
refer to Chapter 5.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing PCI add-on cards.
5. 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.

Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI/SATA
drives and SCSI/SATA backplane 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 DVDROM 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.
2. DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives
A slim DVD-ROM and floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-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.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by five sets of 4-cm fans (each set of fans consists of two fans
that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was carefully
designed to direct sufficient cooling 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 input power to the system. Plug the
power cord(s) from the power supply module(s) into a high-quality power strip
that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended
that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) source.

Overview
There are several LEDs on the chassis 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. 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-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are
(in order from left to right) a UID button and a power on/off button.
UID: Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both
the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configurations. The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second time. Another
UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.
POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off
the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the
main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC816A-700/SC816A-R700 chassis
has six LEDs, which 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.
UID: This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is pushed.
Pushing either button a second time will turn this LED off.
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.

Chapter 3: System Interface
HDD: Indicates hard drive activity. On the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R
this light indicates SAS/SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.
Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply
module(s). With the 6014P-32, this LED should always be green when the system
is operating. On the 6014P-32R, this LED turns amber in the event of a power
supply failure or if a power supply cord is disconnected or loose.
3-4
SAS/SATA Drive Carrier LEDs
Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs:
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS 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.
Red: The SES II compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a
drive failure. If one of the SAS drives fail, you should be notified by your system
management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed
SAS drives.

Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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 DVD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for SAS and
SATA drives). When disconnecting power, you should first power down the
system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of 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.
4-1
SUPERSERVER 6014P-32/6014P-32R User's Manual
The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.
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.
DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with
a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and
hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in
any unconventional way.
4-2
General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
Keep the area around the SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R clean and free
of clutter.
The SuperServer 6014P-32/6014P-32R weighs approximately 57(60) lbs
(25.9/27.3 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.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Safety
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.
4-3
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.

Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
X6DHP-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.

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 X6DHP-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

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.

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 (JFDD1)
DVD-ROM Drive cable (IDE1)
SAS cables (JSM2)
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The X6DHP-3G2 has a 20-pin primary power supply connector designated &quot;JWR1&quot;
for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from
the power supply to JWR1 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 9-pin Secondary ATX
Power connection at JPWR1.
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.

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 Figures 5-5a and 5-5b)
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 1, then Bank 2
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).

Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots
The 6014P-32/6014P-32R can accommodate add-on cards in both PCI-X 100 MHz
slots with the use of two riser cards, which have been preinstalled in the system:
the CSE-RR1U-X riser supports a low profile card in slot #1 and the CSE-RR1U-XR
riser supports a standard size card in slot #2.
An additional two riser cards are available as an option to support x8 (PCI-Express)
add-on cards in the PCI-E slots: the CSE-RR1U-ER riser (for a standard size card)
and the CSE-RR1U-EL (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.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC816A-700/SC816A-R700 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 next step.
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.

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 &quot;Chapter 3: System
Interface&quot; for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1
can be found in &quot;Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup.&quot;

System Fans
Five 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the 6014P-32/6014P-32R. Each fan unit
is actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to
dampen vibration levels. These fans can adjust their speed according to the heat
level sensed in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7). Each fan in a
set has its own separate tachometer.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airflow to
circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan
fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your
earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run
with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running
to determine which of the two fan units 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
With the system powered down, first remove the chassis cover (refer to page 6-7)
and unplug all the fan cables from the serverboard. Grasp the rectangular housing
that holds all the fan units and lift it out of the chassis (see Figure 6-2). Push the
failed fan out through the bottom of the fan housing.
2. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical 40-mm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro: p/n FAN-0085). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing
while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point
in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. Reposition the fan housing
back over the two mounting posts in the chassis, then reconnect the fan wires to
the same chassis fan headers you removed them from. 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.

SAS/SATA Drive Installation
1. Mounting a SAS/SATA drive in a drive carrier
The SAS and 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 drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must
remain in the chassis. To add a new drive, install it 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 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a SAS/SATA Drive in a Carrier
!
!
Use caution when working around the backplane. Do not touch
the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon
cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in
proper airflow.
Important: Regardless of how many SAS/SATA hard drives are
installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays for
proper airflow.

SUPERSERVER 6014P-32/6014P-32R User's Manual
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 6-4).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the SAS/SATA drives.
Figure 6-4. Removing a SAS/SATA Drive Carrier

!
Important: All of the SAS/SATA drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper cooling airflow.
SASI/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.
6-6
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
DVD/CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD/CDROM and floppy drive bays. The 6014P-32/6014P-32R accomodates only slim
DVD/CD-ROM and floppy drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount
the DVD/CD-ROM drive in the server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or DVD/
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 &quot;click&quot;). 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.

Power Supply
6014P-32R
The SuperServer 6014P-32R has a 700 watt redundant power supply configuration
consisting of two hot-swappable power modules. The power supply modules have
an auto-switching capability, which enables them to automatically sense and operate
with a 100V - 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full
load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The Power
On LED on the control panel will turn amber and remain so until the failed module
has been replaced. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from Supermicro
(see contact information in the Preface). The power supply modules have a hotswap capability, meaning you can replace the failed module without powering down
the system.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply module. The
redundant feature will keep the system up and running while you replace the failed
hot-swap module. Replace with the same model - SP700-1R (p/n PWS-0065),
which can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see Contact Information in the
Preface).
1. Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. To remove the
failed power module, first locate the colored release tab (1). Push the tab to the
right (2) and then pull the module straight out with the handle provided (3) (see
Figure 6-5). The power supply wiring was designed to detach automatically when
the module is pulled from the chassis.
2. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed hot-swap module with another SP700-1R power supply module.
Simply push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear a click.
Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the module.
6-8
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6014P-32
The SuperServer 6014P-32 has a single 700 watt cold-swap power supply, which
is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate
with a 100v - 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 module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to
replace the module. Replacements can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see
contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply module in
the 6014P-32, power must be completely removed from the server before removing
and replacing the power supply 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. Replace with the same model - SP700-1R (p/n PWS-0065), which can
be ordered directly from Supermicro (see Contact Information in the Preface).
To remove the failed power module, first locate the colored release tab (1). Push
the tab to the right (2) and then pull the module straight out with the handle provided

Introduction
This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X6DHP-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 the Manual
Download area of the Supermicro web site &lt;http://www.supermicro.com&gt; 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&reg; PC, XT™, AT&reg;, and
PS/2&reg; compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS flash chip stores the system parameters, such 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
backup battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system
parameters. Each time 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
&lt;Delete&gt; 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 &lt;Delete&gt; 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 4-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional
word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C
0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020&quot; means data bits 12
and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also sends the
bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It first displays the checkpoint code, followed by
a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the loworder byte of the error.
It repeats this sequence continuously.

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 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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

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 &quot;Advanced Chipset Control&quot; under the &quot;Advanced&quot; Setup in
the BIOS for the selection of Combined Mode or Enhanced Mode,).

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: &quot;Emb_SA_RAID_UG.pdf&quot; 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.)

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.

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.

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.

SUPERSERVER 6014P-32/6014P-32R 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:
&quot;This will make all other existing bootable array non-bootable. Do you want to make
this array bootable? (Yes/No):&quot; 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:
&quot;The array is already marked bootable. Do you want to make this array as not
bootable? (Yes/No):&quot; Then, the bootable array will be deleted and the asterisk will
disappear.
Note: do not use the delete key to delete the bootable array.

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.
