About This Manual
This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It
provides information for the installation and use of the SCF418 4U chassis. Installation and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians only.
The FatTwin™ is the latest addition to Supermicro's evolving line of Twin Architecture
SuperServer® solutions. The 4U FatTwin greatly expands computer and storage
capacities beyond Supermicro's existing 2U Twin2™ and 1U Twin™ SuperServer®
systems to achieve increased performance with lower power consumption. By virtue
of its shared components, the FatTwin improves cost-effectiveness and reliability,
while its modular architecture makes it flexible to configure and easy to maintain.
The FatTwin is available in high-density hot-plug eight node configurations with a
choice of memory capacities, hard disk drives, power supplies, front or rear I/O, PCI
and networking options and more. Its high-efficiency, highly effective shared cooling architecture allows the FatTwin to operate in high-temperature, free-air cooled
environments up to 47°C, providing considerable cost savings and improved TCO.
Versatile configurations allow the FatTwin to be optimized for many different environments including Data Center, Cloud Computing, and HPC; Engineering, Research,
and GPU projects; File and Storage Server deployments; and General Server and
Enterprise Server applications.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-4 Returning Merchandise for Service
A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service will be rendered. You can obtain service by calling your
vendor for a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. When returning
to the manufacturer, the RMA number should be prominently displayed on the
outside of the shipping carton, and mailed prepaid or hand-carried. Shipping and
handling charges will be applied for all orders that must be mailed when service
is complete.
For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www.
supermicro.com/support/rma/).
Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the
original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the
chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does
not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.
This warranty only covers normal consumer use and does not cover damages incurred in shipping or from failure due to the alteration, misuse, abuse or improper
maintenance of products.
During the warranty period, contact your distributor first for any product problems.

Chassis Components
3-1 Overview
This chapter describes the most common components included with your chassis.
Some components listed may not be included or compatible with your particular
chassis model. For more information, see the installation instructions detailed later
in this manual.
3-2 Components
Chassis
The SCF418 chassis is available in a variety of configurations. For more information,
visit our Web site at: http://www.supermicro.com.
Backplane
Some SCF418 chassis models come equipped with a SAS-F418-B6 backplane. For
more information regarding compatible backplanes, visit the Supermicro web site
at http://www.supermicro.com.
Fans
The SCF418 chassis supports system fans. System fans for the SCF418 chassis are
powered from the motherboards or the backplane. When one of the motherboard
nodes is removed, another motherboard will continue to operate the fans.
Mounting Rails
The SCF418 includes a set of rails, and can be placed in a rack for secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions included in
this manual.
Power Supply
Each SCF418 chassis model includes a high-efficiency 94%+ Plus Platinum Level
power supply, rated at 1620 Watts. In the unlikely event your power supply fails,
replacement is simple and can be accomplished without tools.
3-1
SCF418 Chassis Manual
Air Shroud
The SCF418 chassis requires air shrouds for each node to direct the airflow where
cooling is needed. The air shroud will differ for different motherboards. If using a
motherboard which is not the default in the chassis, refer to the optional parts in
the Appendix of this manual, or the Supermicro web site at www.supermicro.com
to puchase the proper air shroud.
3-3 Where to get Replacement Components
Although not frequently, you may need replacement parts for your system. To
ensure the highest level of professional service and technical support, we strongly
recommend purchasing exclusively from our Supermicro Authorized Distributors/
System Integrators/Resellers. A list of Supermicro Authorized Distributors/System
Integrators/Reseller can be found at: http://www.supermicro.com. Click the Where

Chapter 4
System Interface
4-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you
constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SCF418 models with rear I/O
(left image below) include four control panels on the handles of the chassis which
control each of the nodes. SCF418 chassis with front I/O (right image below) have
a power button LED and a UID indicator, with additional LED indicators directly on
the motherboard.
This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
Rear I/O Chassis
Front I/O Chassis
Figure 4-1: Chassis Control Panel
4-1
SCF418 Chassis Manual
4-2 Control Panel Buttons
• Power:
The main power button on each of the four control panels is
used to apply or remove power from the power supply to each of the
four systems in the chassis. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby power supplied to the
system. Therefore, you must unplug system before servicing. The poer
button has a built-in LED which will turn green when the power is on.
• UID: When used with a UID compatible motherboard, the UID indicator is used
to turn on or off the blue light function of the LED. This is built into the front
side of the UID button and at the rear end of each motherboard node, for those
motherboards which support it. Once the blue light is activated, the unit can be
easily located in very large racks and server banks.
4-3 Control Panel LEDs
The four control panels are located on the front handle of the SCF418 chassis.
Each control panel has two additional 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.
• Informational LED:
Continuously on and blue: UID function has been activated.
Flashing red: Fan failure.
Continuously on and red: Overheat condition. This 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.
This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat or fan failure
condition exists.
4-2
Chapter 4: System Interface
• NIC: Indicates network activity on either LAN1 or LAN2 when flashing.
4-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
The SCF418 chassis uses SAS/SATA drives.
SAS/SATA Drives
Each SAS/SATA drive carrier has two LEDs.
• Blue: Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a blue LED. When illuminated, this blue
LED (on the front of the SATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connection
to the SATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular
drive is being accessed.
• Red: The red LED illuminates to indicate a SAS/SATA drive failure. If one of
the SAS/SATA drives fail, you should be notified by your system management
software.
SCSI Drives
This chassis does not support SCSI drives.

procedures.
5-2 Removing Power Cords
Before performing any setup or maintenance on the chassis, use the following
procedure to ensure that power has been removed disconnected from the system.
Removing the Power Cord
1. Use the operating system to power down the system, following the on-screen
prompts.
2. After the system has completely shut-down, carefully grasp the head of the
power cord and gently pull it out of the back of the power supply.
3. If your system has dual redundant power supplies, remove the cords from
both power supplies.
4. Disconnect the cord from the power strip or wall outlet.

Compatible Motherboards
For the most up-to-date information on compatible motherboards and other parts,
visit the Supermicro Web site at www.supermicro.com.
Permanent and Optional Standoffs
Standoffs prevent short circuits by creating space between the motherboard and the
floor of the node. The SCF418 chassis includes permanent standoffs in locations
used by most motherboards. These standoffs use the rounded Phillips head screws
included in the SCF418 accessories packaging.
Some motherboards require additional screws for heatsinks, general components
and/or non-standard security. Optional standoffs are used for these motherboards.
To use an optional standoff, compare the mounting holes in the motherboard with
those in the floor of the node. Then place a screw through the bottom the node and
secure the screw with a hexagonal nut (rounded side up).
Depending upon the configuration of the motherboard being used, it is also possible
that some of the optional standoffs which are pre-installed in the chassis, may need
to be removed. Add or remove standoffs as needed.

Chapter 6: Rack Installation
Chapter 6
Rack Installation
6-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup to install the SCF418 chassis into a rack. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system installed
within a minimal amount of time.
6-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box which the chassis was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the chassis 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 your chassis. 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. The system needs
to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
6-3 Preparing for Setup
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies and
the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included
is an optional square hole to round hole converter bracket, for use in racks with
round mounting holes. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the
installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
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).
6-1
SCF418 Chassis Manual
6-4 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 installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure that 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.
General Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions that came with the components you are adding to your chassis.
• 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 upwards.
• 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 hard 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.
Warning: do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
6-2
Chapter 6: Rack 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.).
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you
must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

SCF418 Chassis Manual
6-5 Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. NOTE: This rail will fit a rack between 28.5" and 33.5" deep. The SCF418
is not designed for installation into a Telco post-style rack unit.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: A front section that secures to the front post of
the rack and a rear section that can be adjusted in length and secures to the rear
post of the rack. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right
side of the chassis.
Adjusting the Rails
Each rail assembly has an adjusting screw. loosening this screw allows you to adjust
the length of the rail to fit a variety of rack sizes.

BPN-SAS-F418B2R Backplane Specifications
To avoid personal injury and property damage, carefully follow all the safety steps
listed below when accessing your system or handling the components.
C-1 ESD Safety Guidelines
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures
are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing a component from the antistatic
bag.
• Handle the backplane 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 card and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
C-2 General Safety Guidelines
• Always disconnect power cables before installing or removing any components
from the computer, including the backplane.
• Disconnect the power cable before installing or removing any cables from the
backplane.
• Make sure that the backplane is securely and properly installed on the motherboard to prevent damage to the system due to power shortage.
