Chapter 2: Rack Mount Installation
Chapter 2
Rack Mount Installation
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack. By default, the chassis is shipped configured as a tower. The tower top cover and bottom feet must be removed to mount in a rack. Also, the control panel/drive module should be rotated 90 degrees. Mounting rails are optional for this system. Be sure you have received the correct rail kit for your server.
2.2 Preparing for Rack Mounting
Choosing a Setup Location · The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
· Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely. · Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient
airflow and access for servicing.
· It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room or a service
closet.
· This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices acccording to §2
of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
Rack Precautions · Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that
the full weight of the rack rests on them.
· In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack in-
stallations, the racks should be coupled together.
· Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from
the rack.
17
SuperServer 7049P-TR(T) User's Manual
· You should extend only one server or component at a time; extending two or more simul-
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
· When initially installing the server to a rack, test that the rail locking tabs engage to prevent
the server from being overextended. Have a rack lift in place as a precaution in case the test fails.
Server Precautions · Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B. · Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails. · Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your
way up.
· Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power
surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
· Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. · When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the
servers closed to maintain proper cooling.
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 room's ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer's maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
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.
18
Chapter 2: Rack Mount Installation
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.
· Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

2.4 Installing the Rails
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly procedure. Do not use a two post "telco" type rack. This rail set fits a rack between 26" and 35.9" deep. The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the specific rack you are using.
Identifying the Rails
The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies, one for each side. Each of these assemblies consist of several sections: an inner fixed rail that secures to the chassis, an outer rack rail that secures to the rack, a middle rail that slides within the outer rail, and two brackets that attach the outer rail to the rack. The brackets are specific to the left and right side, and front and back, and labeled.
Inner rail
Outer rail
Rail brackets
Figure 2-2. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
Releasing the Inner Rails
The inner rails must be removed from the outer rails to install onto the chassis. To remove the inner rail, pull it out as far as possible until it clicks to a stop. Depress the locking lever on the inner rail next to the middle rail to pull the inner rail completely out.
21
SuperServer 7049P-TR(T) User's Manual
Installing the Inner Rails
Identify the left and right inner rails. 1. Attach the handles to the front sides of the chassis with three screws each. 2. Position the inner rails along the side of the chassis making sure the screw holes line
up. 3. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis.
Screw for Handles Screw for Inner Rails
Figure 2-3. Installing the Chassis Rails Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.
22
Chapter 2: Rack Mount Installation
Assembling and Installing the Outer Rails
Each outer rail comes in three sections that require assembly before mounting onto the rack. 1. Find the outer rail mounting brackets in the chassis accessory box.
· A pair of long brackets for the rear of each rail · A pair of short brackets for the front of each rail
Note that the brackets are labeled as to front, rear, and up. They are specific for the left and right rails. 2. Secure the front (short) bracket onto the outer rail with M5 screws. 3. Mount the rear (long) bracket onto the outer rail at the approximate position to fit your rack. Use two or three M5 screws into holes that are convenient. Leave the screws just loose enough that the bracket can slide. 4. Install the outer rail assembly onto your rack. Adjust the outer rail to the exact depth of the rack by sliding the rear bracket. Then use screws and fasteners to secure the outer rail to the front and rear rack posts. 5. Further tighten the screws holding the rear bracket to the rail.

2.5 Installing the Server into the Rack
After attaching rails to both the chassis and the rack, slide the server into the rack. 1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing
shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail. 2. Align the rear of the inner (chassis) rails with the front of the outer (rack) rails and slide
the inner rails into the outer rails until the server is completely in the rack. 3. Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.
Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Rack Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
Warning: Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over. When initially installing the server to a rack, test that the rail locking tabs engage to prevent the server from being overextended. Have a rack lift in place as a precaution in case the test fails.
24
Chapter 2: Rack Mount Installation
Removing the Chassis from the Rack
Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack. Use a lift. 1. Pull the chassis forward out the front of the rack until it stops. 2. Find the release lever on each side of the chassis on the inner rails. Release the
chassis by simultaneously and lifting the left lever and pushing down the right lever. Continue to pull the chassis out of the rack.
Warning: In any instance of pulling the system from the rack, always use a rack lift and follow all associated safety precautions. Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

Processor and Heatsink Installation
The processor (CPU) and processor carrier should be assembled together first to form the processor carrier assembly. This will be attached to the heatsink to form the processor heatsink module (PHM) before being installed onto the CPU socket. Notes:
· Use ESD protection. · Unplug the AC power cord from all power supplies after shutting down the system. · Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins
are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
· When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands
(gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
· Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed. · Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support. · All graphics in this manual are for illustration only. Your components may look different.
The Processor The Intel Xeon 82xx/62xx/52xx/42xx/32xx or 81xx/61xx/51xx/41xx/31xx processor series comes in two models: Fabric (F Model) and Non-Fabric (Non-F Model). Only the Non-Fabric model is supported for this system.

Memory Population Guidelines
· All DIMMs must be DDR4. · Balance memory. Using unbalanced memory topology, such as populating two DIMMs in
one channel while populating one DIMM in another channel, reduces performance. It is not recommended for Supermicro systems.
· In dual-CPU configurations, memory must be installed in the slots associated with the
installed CPUs.
Guidelines Regarding Mixing DIMMs
· Populating slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size results in inter-
leaved memory, which improves memory performance.
· Use memory modules of the same type and speed, as mixing is not allowed. · x4 and x8 DIMMs can be mixed in the same channel. · Mixing of LRDIMMs and RDIMMs is not allowed in the same channel, across different
channels, and across different sockets.
· Mixing of non-3DS and 3DS LRDIMM is not allowed in the same channel, across different
channels, and across different sockets.
DIMM Construction
· RDIMM (non-3DS) Raw Cards: A/B (2Rx4), C (1Rx4), D (1Rx8), E (2Rx8) · 3DS RDIMM Raw Cards: A/B (4Rx4) · LRDIMM (non-3DS) Raw Cards: D/E (4Rx4) · 3DS LRDIMM Raw Cards: A/B (8Rx4)
Memory Population Sequence Blue slots versus black slots: Install the first DIMM in the blue memory slot, which is the first of a memory channel. Then, if using two DIMMs per channel, install the second DIMM in the black slot. The following memory population sequence table was created based on guidelines provided by Intel to support Supermicro motherboards. The diagram is for illustrative purposes; your motherboard may look different.

3.4 Chassis Components
Storage Drives
The standard system provides hot-swap drive bays for eight 3.5" SATA drives covered by the front bezel. Alternatively, each bay can house a 2.5" SATA drive with an optional converter (pn MCP-220-00080-0B). The drive IDs for these bays are preconfigured as 0 through 7 from bottom to top.
The drives are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and replaced without powering down the system, if that capability is supported by your operating system. The drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. The carriers also promote airflow for the system. For this reason, even carriers without drives must remain in the server.
There are several options that provide additional SAS or SATA storage drives if an optional SAS RAID controller card is purchased. Each 5.25" bay can house one 3.5" drive, or two 2.5" drives with a bracket. Or two 5.25" bays can be replaced by an optional enclosure called a mobile rack that houses eight hot-swap 2.5" drives. Additional cables are also required.
Note: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro website at http://www. supermicro.com/products/nfo/files/storage/SBB-HDDCompList.pdf.
The server also supports PCIe M.2 storage that can be installed directly on the motherboard. See Section 3.3.
Drive Indicators
Each hot-swap drive has two LED indicators: an activity indicator and a status indicator. In RAID configurations, the status indicator lights to indicate the status of the drive. In non-RAID configurations, the status indicator remains off. See the table below for details.

Power Supply
The system has a redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100 V 240 V input voltage. 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 PWR Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. The hot-swap capability of the power supply modules allows you to replace the failed module without powering down the system. Replacement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information in the Preface).
Power Supply LEDs On the rear of the power supply module, an LED displays the status.
· Solid Green: When illuminated, indicates that the power supply is on. · Solid Amber: When illuminated, indicates the power supply is plugged in and turned off,
or the system is off but in an abnormal state.

6.1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X11DPi-N(T) and provides the instructions on navigating the setup screens. The BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be updated. Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted since this manual was published.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the system is booting up. (There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) The BIOS screens have three main frames. The large left frame displays options can be configured by the user. These are blue. When an option is selected, it is highlighted in white. Settings printed in Bold are the default values. In the left frame, a " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter> key opens the list of settings in that submenu. The upper right frame displays helpful information for the user. The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these informational messages. The lower right frame lists navigational methods. The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of these hot keys can be used at any time during setup navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc. Some system parameters may be changed.
6.2 Main Setup
When running the AMI BIOS setup utility, it starts with the Main screen. You can always return to it by selecting the Main tab on the top of the screen.

Local/Remote Threshold This feature allows the user to set the threshold for the Interrupt Request (IRQ) signal, which handles hardware interruptions. The options are Disable, Auto, Low, Medium, and High.
Stale AtoS (A to S) The in-memory directory has three states: I, A, and S states. The I (-invalid) state indicates that the data is clean and does not exist in the cache of any other sockets. The A (-snoop All) state indicates that the data may exist in another socket in an exclusive or modified state. The S state (-Shared) indicates that the data is clean and may be shared in the caches across one or more sockets. When the system is performing "read" on the memory and if the directory line is in A state, we must snoop all other sockets because another socket may have the line in a modified state. If this is the case, a "snoop" will return the modified data. However, it may be the case that a line "reads" in an A state, and all the snoops come back with a "miss". This can happen if another socket reads the line earlier and then has silently dropped it from its cache without modifying it. If the "Stale AtoS" feature is enabled, a line will transition to the S state when the line in the A state returns only snoop misses. That way, subsequent reads to the line will encounter it in the S state and will not have to snoop, saving the latency and snoop bandwidth. Stale "AtoS" may be beneficial in a workload where there are many cross-socket reads. The options are Disable, Enable, and Auto.

Appendix A BIOS Error Codes
A.1BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.
Beep Code 1 short 5 short, 1 long 5 long, 2 short 1 long continuous
BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
Error Message
Description

A.2Additional BIOS POST Codes
The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online at http:// www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's Guide").
When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h. If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).

Appendix D
UEFI BIOS Recovery
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you do update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is updating to avoid possible boot failure.
D.1 Overview
The Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface between the operating system and the platform firmware in the pre-boot environment. The UEFI specification supports an architecture-independent mechanism that will allow the UEFI OS loader stored in an add-on card to boot the system. The UEFI offers clean, hands-off management to a computer during system boot.
D.2 Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image
A UEFI BIOS flash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main BIOS image). The recovery block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection and recovery codes for the user to flash a healthy BIOS image if the original main BIOS image is corrupted. When the system power is turned on, the recovery block codes execute first. Once this process is complete, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization and the remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines. Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS block crashes. Note 2: When the BIOS recovery block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. Also, you may use the Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (https://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/ nfo/SMS_SUM.cfm) to reflash the BIOS.
D.3 Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover the main BIOS image using a USB-attached device without additional utilities used. A USB flash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time. The file system supported by the recovery block is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32) which is installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM file if the media size becomes too large due to the huge volumes of folders and files stored in the device.
154
Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below. 1. Using a different machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image file into the Root "\"
directory of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD. Note 1: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" file in your drive disk, visit our website at www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary image into a USB flash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use. Note 2: Before recovering the main BIOS image, confirm that the "Super.ROM" binary image file you download is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard. 2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB drive and reset the system when the following screen appears.
155
SuperServer 7049P-TR(T) User Manual 3. After locating the healthy BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery menu as shown below.
Note: At this point, you may decide if you want to start the BIOS recovery. If you decide to proceed with BIOS recovery, follow the procedures below. 4. When the screen as shown above displays, use the arrow keys to select the item "Proceed with flash update" and press the <Enter> key. You will see the BIOS recovery progress as shown in the screen below. Note: Do not interrupt the BIOS flashing process until it has completed.
156
Appendix D: UEFI BIOS Recovery 5. After the BIOS recovery process is complete, press any key to reboot the system.
6. Using a different system, extract the BIOS package into a USB flash drive. 7. Press <Del> continuously during system boot to enter the BIOS Setup utility. From the
top of the tool bar, select Boot to enter the submenu. From the submenu list, select Boot Option #1 as shown below. Then, set Boot Option #1 to [UEFI AP:UEFI: Built-in EFI Shell]. Press <F4> to save the settings and exit the BIOS Setup utility.
157
SuperServer 7049P-TR(T) User Manual 8. When the UEFI Shell prompt appears, type fs# to change the device directory path. Go to the directory that contains the BIOS package you extracted earlier from Step 6. Enter flash.nsh BIOSname.### at the prompt to start the BIOS update process.
Note: Do not interrupt this process until the BIOS flashing is complete.
9. The screen above indicates that the BIOS update process is complete. When you see the screen above, unplug the AC power cable from the power supply, clear CMOS, and plug the AC power cable in the power supply again to power on the system.
10. Press <Del> continuously to enter the BIOS Setup utility. 11. Press <F3> to load the default settings. 12. After loading the default settings, press <F4> to save the settings and exit the BIOS
Setup utility.
