Chapter 2: Installation in a Rack
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack
This chapter provides instructions for mounting your chassis in a rack.
2-1 Preparing for Setup
The box in which your system was shipped should include the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your system. It should be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet. is required
· 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.
2-1

SUPERSERVER 5018D-FN4T User's Manual
2-2 Warnings and Precautions
Rack Precautions
· Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
· In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple
rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
· Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
· You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
· Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4. · Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
· Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.
· Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
· Allow the hot plug SAS 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.
2-2

Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack
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.
· Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.

SUPERSERVER 5018D-FN4T User's Manual
2-3 Installing the System into a Rack
The system can be installed into a rack directly using screws.
Figure 2-1. Installing the Chassis into a Rack Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks from the bottom up.
Warning: do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only. 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.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack:
1. Confirm that chassis includes the four mounting screws required to mount the chassis into a rack.
2. Align the thru-holes of the chassis with the thru-holes of the rack. 3. Insert the mounting screws into the thru-holes in the front of the chassis and
through the thru-holes in the rack

Chapter 5
Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Note: For this server, the CPU heatsink are preinstalled on the motherboard, and not replacable by the user.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully (see previous chapter). 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 electric static discharge.
Precautions
· Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent ESD. · Touch a grounded metal object before removing boards from antistatic bags. · 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.
· For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
5-1

SUPERSERVER 5018D-FN4T User's Manual
5-2 Connecting Cables
Once the motherboard is installed, the cables must be connected. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and control panel and the power cables. See section 5-5 for connectors.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully routed 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). The following data cables (with their locations noted) should be connected.
· SATA drive data cables (I-SATA0-5) · Control Panel cable (JF1)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The motherboard has three power supply connectors, JPW1, PJ1, and J6.
Connecting the Control Panel
The JF1 connector contains header pins for the front control panel. All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single ribbon cable to simplify this connection. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other end connects to the Control Panel PCB board, located just behind the system status LEDs on the chassis.

5-4 Memory Support
The X10SDV-TLN4F motherboard supports up to 128GB of DDR4 ECC RDIMM or 64GB of DDR4 ECC/Non-ECC UDIMM with speeds up to 2133MHz in four memory slots. Populating these DIMM slots with memory modules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which improves memory performance. Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.

CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent damage.

Memory Installation Guidelines
When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following order: DIMMA1, DIMMB1, then DIMMA2, DIMMB2.
· Always use DDR4 DIMM modules of the same size, type and speed. Mixing
memory modules of different types and speeds is not allowed.
· The motherboard will support one DIMM module installed. However, for best
memory performance, install DIMM modules in pairs.
Installing DIMM Memory Modules
1. Align the key on the bottom of the DIMM module against the key on the memory slot. Take note of the notches on the side of the DIMM module, and of the locking clips on the socket to avoid causing damage.

Module Key Module Notch

Socket Key

Locking Clip

2. Install the DIMM module straight down into the socket until it is securely seated in the socket. The side clips will automatically lock the module into place.

5-5 Expansion Cards
The motherboard supports one PCI Express 3.0 expansion card in a x4 slot. It uses an M Key for 2242/2280 SSD; SATA 3.0 support (Mux with ISATA-0). If the server is configured with one 3.5" drive, it accepts an expansion card. If the server is configured with four 2.5" drives, there is no room for an expansion card. Refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on installing an expansion card in the system.

Chapter 7: AMI BIOS

7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X10SDV-TLN4F motherboard. The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens. Note: For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction guide posted at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the system is booting up. Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc. Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often informational text will accompany it. (Note: the AMI BIOS has default informational text built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these informational messages.) The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys". Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc. Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing <Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

Appendix A: BIOS POST Error Codes
Appendix A BIOS POST Error 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 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.
