1-3 Mainboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6013P-8 lies the X5DPR-8G2, a dual Intel
Xeon processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the X5DPR-8G2.
Chipset
The X5DPR-8G2 is based on Intel's E7501 chipset, which is a high-performance core logic chipset designed for dual-processor servers.
The E7501 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0
(P64H2) and the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).
The MCH has four hub interfaces, one to communicate with the ICH3 and three for high-speed I/O communications. The MCH employs a 144-bit wide memory bus for a DDR-266 (PC2100) memory interface, which provides a total bandwidth of 3.2 GB/s. The ICH3 interface is a 266 MB/sec point-topoint connection using an 8-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 4x data transfer rate. The P64H2 interface is a 1 GB/s point-to-point connection using a 16-bit wide, 66 MHz base clock at a 8x data transfer rate.
The ICH3 I/O Controller Hub provides various integrated functions, including a two-channel UDMA100 bus master IDE controller, USB host controllers, an integrated LAN controller, a System Management Bus controller and an
AC'97 compliant interface.
The P64H2 PCI-X Hub provides a 16-bit connection to the MCH for highperformance IO capability and the 64-bit PCI-X interface.
Processors
The X5DPR-8G2 supports single or dual Intel 604-pin Xeon processors of up to 2.8 GHz and faster at a 533/400 MHz FSB. Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(http://www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).
Memory
The X5DPR-8G2 has 6 184-pin, DIMM slots that can support up to 12 GB of low-profile, registered ECC DDR-266/200 (PC2100/1600) SDRAM.
1-4
Chapter 1: Introduction
Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB may be used to populate the DIMM slots.
Onboard SCSI
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI controller chip, which supports dual channel, Ultra320 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
320 MB/sec. The X5DPR-8G2 provides two SCSI ports. A QLogic GEM318 controller is used for the SAF-TE compliant SCSI backpanel.
PCI Expansion Slots
The X5DPR-8G2 has one 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X slot and one slim 64-bit, 66
MHz PCI slot. A "butterfly" riser card is included with the server. This riser card fits into the 133 MHz PCI-X slot and was designed specially for the
SC812S chassis to support the use of one standard PCI card and one low profile (half-height, half-length) PCI card. Several jumpers on the motherboard are used to change the speeds of these slots if needed (see
Chapter 5).
ATI Graphics Controller

Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6013P-8 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 SuperServer 6013P-8 system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, 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 SuperServer 6013P-8
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6013P-8 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
6013P-8. 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 6013P-8 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.

UPER
S
ERVER 6013P-8 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.
!
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 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-4 Installing the SuperServer 6013P-8 into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6013P-8 into a rack unit. If the 6013P-8 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.
The following is a guideline for installing the 6013P-8 into a rack with the rack rails provided. 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 with the SuperServer
6013P-8. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6013P-8 (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail.
(See Figure 2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached from each other to install.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

ERVER 6013P-8 Manual
Installing the Chassis Rails:
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the 6013P-8 making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis
(see Figure 2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position.
Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails
Installing the Rack Rails:
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6013P-8 in the rack.
(See Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. Attach the other assem-

Chapter 2: Server Installation bly to the other side of the rack, making both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
Installing the Server into the Rack:
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack:
If you are installing the SuperServer 6013P-8 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 6013P-8 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the 6013P-8 (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 system board. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter
5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.
3. Verify the proper CPU clock ratio setting:
If the CPU speed is not automatically detected you will need to set the correct speed with the BIOS Setup utility. See the CPU Speed and Frequency Ratio settings in BIOS (Chapter 7) for setting the proper CPU speed.
4. Check the system memory:
Your 6013P-8 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives and SCA 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
CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SCSI disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
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 SCSI disk drives:
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer to Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow:
Airflow is provided by two heavy duty 10-cm blower fans. 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 from the power supply unit into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI 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.
3-2 Control Panel Buttons
There are three push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis.
These are (in order from left to right) a reset button, an MNI (non-maskable interface) button and a power on/off button.
l
RESET:
Use the reset button to reboot the system.
l
NMI:
NMI stands for "non-maskable interrupt". Pressing this button issues a non-maskable interrupt to force the server into a halt state. This is used for diagnostic purposes, and allows you to perform a memory download to determine the cause of a problem.
3-1
SUPERSERVER 6013P-8 User's Manual l
POWER: This is the main power button, 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.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC812S 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.
l
Overheat: Indicates an overheat condition in the chassis. This may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. You should also check to make sure that the chassis cover is installed and that all fans are present and operating normally. Verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter
5). Finally, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are vertical pieces located to the left and right of the fans and against the front side of the chassis frame cross section that separates the drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis. There is also a small air seal positioned between the two fans.

Chapter 4: System Safety
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6013P-8 from damage: l
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.
l
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
l
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or installing main system components, such as the motherboard, memory modules and the CD-ROM and floppy 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 units in the system.
l
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.
l
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.
l
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.

On the X5DPR-8G2, the positive side should be facing up. 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.
l
CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-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: l
Keep the area around the SuperServer 6013P-8 clean and free of clutter.
l
The SuperServer 6013P-8 weighs approximately 22 lbs (10 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.
l
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.
l
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.
l
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 l
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: l
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
l
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use.
l
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.
l
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.
l
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts
.
l
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
l
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
l
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.

Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the X5DPR-8G2 motherboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard 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 motherboard to protect and cool the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the X5DPR-8G2 Motherboard
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 motherboard can cause it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the motherboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from 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 motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 PGA 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 motherboard 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 heatsink. The X5DPR-8G2 can support either one or two Xeon 604-pin processors of up to 2.8 GHz and faster. 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 d a m a g e t h e C P U s o c k e t w h e n power is applied. (Install a processor into CPU #1 socket first.)
Socket lever
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).
Pin 1
3. Press the lever down until you hear it *click* into the locked position. See Figure 5-1 for pictures of the 603-pin CPU socket before and after the processor is installed.

Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
4. Apply the proper amount of thermal compound to the CPU die and place the heatsink on top of the CPU. 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. Secure the heatsink by locking the retention clips into position. When correctly installed, the clips should *click* into place and the three black tabs on the CPU retention pieces should protrude fully through the corresponding holes on the retention clips. See Figure 5-2 for a diagram of the heatsink installation procedure.
6. Connect the fan wires to the rpespective CPU Fan cheader on the motherboard. If installing two processors, repeat these steps to install the second processor in the CPU #2 slot.

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the board. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed 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 keep them routed 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 data cables (with their motherboard connector locations noted) should be connected. See the motherboard layout figure in this chapter for connector locations.
l
IDE Device Cables (IDE#1 and IDE#2) l
Floppy Drive Cable (JP7) l
Ultra 320 LVD SCSI Cables (JA1 and JA2) l
Control Panel Cable (JF2, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The X5DPR-8G2 has a 20-pin primary power supply connector designated
"ATX Power" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power supply to the "ATX Power" connector to supply power to the motherboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
In addition, the 8-pin header connector included with your power supply must be connected to the PWR_SEC connection (J15).

5-5 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules: http://www.supermicro.com/TECHSUPPORT/FAQs/Memory_vendors.htm
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 (DIMM#1A, 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. The 6013P-8 requires the use of low-profile memory.
2. Insert each DIMM module 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).
4. When installing modules into the two Bank 2 slots, you will need to remove the power supply due to space constraints.

5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1.
PCI slots:
The X5DPR-8G2 has one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot for a full-length
(standard) PCI card and one slim 64-bit 66 MHz PCI slot. The 64-bit 133
MHz PCI-X slot should have a butterfly riser card installed, which can accept one standard sized PCI card and one low profile PCI card (see
Figures 5-6a and 5-6b).
2.
PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, see step 1, above. Begin by swinging the release tab on the I/O backpanel shield out to the left for the PCI slot. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the butterfly riser card
(depending on whether it is a standard or low-profile card), pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by pushing the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this procedure when adding a card to either slot.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC812S 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
l
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
l
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
l
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts.
l
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
l
Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
l
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.

The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the JF2 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system status indications. A ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF2 on the motherboard 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:

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Two 10-cm blower fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer
6013P-8. 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
The fans run at 3200 rpm. If a fan fails, the ambient air temperature in the chassis will rise and activate the overheat LED on the control panel. Replace any failed fan immediately with the same type and model. You must power down the system before replacing a cooling fan (removing the power cord is also recommended as a safety precaution).
Replacing System Cooling Fans
1.
Removing a fan:
Remove the chassis cover. Detach the fan wires from their connection to the motherboard. Remove the screws that secure the fan to the chassis and lift the blower fan out.
2.
Installing a new fan:
Replace the failed fan with an identical 10-cm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro: p/n FAN-038). 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 connector on the motherboard. Finish by replacing the chassis cover and power cord and restoring power to the system.

Note: You must use standard 1" high, 80-pin SCA SCSI drives in the SuperServer 6013P-8.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drive: For installing/removing the CD-ROM or floppy disk drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 6013P-8 by removing the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and

SCSI Drive Installation
1.
Mounting a SCSI drive in a drive carrier:
The SCSI drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the SCSI drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without SCSI drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new
SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side toward the carrier so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with four screws, as shown in
Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a SCSI Drive in a Carrier
!
Use caution when working around the SCSI 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 SCSI hard drives are installed, all SCSI drive carriers must remain in the drive bays for proper airflow.
6-5
S
UPER
S
ERVER 6013P-8 Manual
2.
Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives:
The SCSI drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making them easily accessible for installation and removal. The SCSI drives are hotswap units, meaning that they can be installed and removed while the system is running. To remove a SCSI drive, first push the colored release button located beside the drive's LEDs, then swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the SCSI drive carrier straight out (see Figure
6-4).
Figure 6-4. Removing SCSI Drives
!
Important: All of the SCSI drive carriers must remain in the drive bay to maintain proper cooling airflow.
6-6
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
SCA Backplane
The SCSI drives plug into a SAF-TE compliant SCA backplane that provides power, SCSI ID and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the SCA backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SCSI drive. The SCA SCSI backplane is already preconfigured; there are no jumpers or switches.
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 6013P-8 accomodates only slim-line CD-
ROM drives. Side mounting brakets are needed to mount a slim-line CD-ROM drive in the 6013P-8 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. (You can only install one internal floppy drive into the 6013P-8.)

6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 6013P-8 has a single 400 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with either a 100v or 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 power supply 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 6013P-8, the server must be powered down 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 6-5.
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.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the PhoenixBIOS™ Setup utility for the X5DPR-8G2.
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 t o t h e M a n u a l D o w n l o a d a r e a o f t h e S u p e r m i c r o w e b s i t e
<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 PhoenixBIOS 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 back-up 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 <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 4-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Appendix B: BIOS POST Codes
Appendix B
BIOS POST Codes
This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the PhoenixBIOS. POST codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.
Recoverable POST Errors
When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the following beep codes:
1 long and two short beeps - video configuration error
1 continuous long beep - no memory detected
Terminal POST Errors
If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the error in the top left corner of the screen.
The following is a list of codes that may be written to port 80h.

* 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" 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.
