Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5017P-
TLN4F/TF up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable
you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick
setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory
preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, pro-
cessors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each
step for details on installing specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5017P-TLN4F/TF 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 5017P-
TLN4F/TF. 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 5017P-TLN4F/TF 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.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back
of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

SUPERSERVER 5017P-TLN4F/TF User's Manual
•
•
This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices
acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display
Units.
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 si-
multaneously 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 any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching
them.
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-
ture 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 tempera-
ture (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 connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC504 chassis into a rack unit.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Installing the Chassis into a Standard 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 and secure.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Telco Rack
The SC504 supports Telco Rack installation. The SC504 chassis' compact design
allows the it to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails.
Figure 2-2. Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack
Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack
1. To install the chassis into a Telco style two-post rack, use two L-shaped
brackets on either side of the chassis (four total).
2. First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack.
Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and
back.
3. If a bezel is included on your chassis, remove it. Then attach the two front
brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned
with just enough space to accommodate the width of the Telco rack.
4. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the
rack.
Note: the figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install chassis starting
from the bottom of the rack and working up.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5017P-TLN4F/TF from damage:
•
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
•
•
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or install-
ing main system components, such as the serverboard and memory modules.
When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the
operating system first and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply
units in the system.
•
•
When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is familiar
with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if neces-
sary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
•
•
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

moved away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be
stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or
be pulled into a cooling fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact
with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

Chapter 4: System Safety
•
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure
it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections
have been made.
4-3 ESD Precautions
!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
•
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags
until ready for use.
•
•
•
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic
bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may
retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or contacts.
•
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not
in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

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.
Remember to completely close the chassis when you have finished working with
the motherboard to better cool and protect the system.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-
age 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 dis-
charge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.

5-2 Connecting Cables
Now that the motherboard is installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the board. These include the data cables for the peripherals and control panel and
the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The 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. (See the layout on page
5-10 for connector locations.)
•
•
SATA drive data cables (I-SATA1 ~ I-SATA3)
Control Panel cable (JF1)
Important! Make sure the the cables do not come into contact with the fans.
Connecting Power Cables
The X9SPV-LN4F/F-3610ME has a 24-pin primary power supply connector (JPW1)
for connection to the ATX power supply. See Section 5-8 for power connector pin
definitions.
Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure 5-1
for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indicators.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into a single 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. See Chapter 5 for details and pin descriptions.

2. Insert each SO DIMM module vertically and snap it into place. Repeat step 1
to install DIMMB1 if needed. See instructions on the next page.
Memory Support
The X9SPV-LN4F/F-3610ME motherboard supports up to 16GB of DDR3 ECC
SODIMMs (1333/1066/800 MHz in 2 SODIMM slots).
5-6 Adding PCI Add-On Cards
The 5017P-TLN4F/TF can accommodate a single full-height, half-length add-on
(expansion) card.
Installing an Add-on Card
1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot where the riser card is located.
2. Fully seat the card into the riser card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly
on both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shields protect the motherboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is always a shield covering
each unused slot.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
Precautions
•
•
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
•
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
•
•
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X9SPV-F/LN4F moth-
erboard. 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
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 a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text 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>, ar-
row 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.
