Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5014C-T up and running. Following the steps in the order given should
enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount of time.
This quick setup assumes that your 5014C-T system has come to you with
the processor and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully
integrated with a motherboard, processor, 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 5014C-T 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
5014C-T. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well venti-
lated. 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 5014C-T 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 minimal amount of time.
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation
procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

SUPERSERVER 5014C-T User's 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.
- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location
(dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
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 a 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 power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drives 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
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 con-
nections 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 SuperServer 5014C-T into
a rack unit. If the system 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 unit into a rack with the rack rails
provided with the system. You should also refer to the installation instruc-
tions 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
5014C-T. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fi xed rack rail (B) that
secures to the rail brackets. 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of
the chassis making sure the five 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 installing 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 5014C-T 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

SUPERSERVER 5014C-T User's Manual
other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that 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.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the SuperServer 5014C-T 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
accomodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Motherboard Setup
After you install the 5014C-T 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 system (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 CPU (processor)
You should have one processor already installed into the system
board. Each processor should have its own heatsink attached. See
Chapter 5 for instructions on processor installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 5014C-T server system may have come with system memory al-
ready installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For
details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install an add-on card to the system. See Chapter 5
for details on installing a PCI add-on card.
5. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not
blocking the airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
Also, check the air seals for damage. The air seals are located under
the blower fan and beneath the frame cross section that separates the
drive bay area from the motherboard area of the chassis.
Note: Make sure that the air seals are properly installed.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial
ATA drives and Serial ATA backplane have been properly installed and all
essential connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives can be accessed from the front of the server. For servicing
the CD-ROM and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis
cover. The Serial ATA disk drives can be installed and removed from the
front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.
2. Installing a CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk
drive to the system.
3. Check the Serial ATA disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one
or two Serial ATA drives already installed. If you need to install Serial
ATA drives, please refer to the appropriate section in Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by two 10-cm input fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to promote sufficient airflow through the
small 1U rackmount space. Also 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).

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself
from harm and the SuperServer 5014C-T 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 installing main system components, such as the motherboard,
memory modules and floppy drives. 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 necessary.
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.

Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the
onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its
polarites (see Figure 4-1). 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.
ꢀ
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:
ꢀ
ꢀ
Keep the area around the SuperServer 5014C-T clean and free of
clutter.
The SuperServer 5014C-T weighs approximately 34 lbs (~15.5 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.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀ
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.
ꢀ
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 motherboard 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.

Advanced Motherboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the P8SCi motherboard into
the SC811T-260 chassis, connect the data and power cables and install
add-on cards. All motherboard jumpers and connections are also de-
scribed. 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 sys-
tem.
5-1 Handling the Motherboard
Electric-static discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre-
vent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle
them very carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the P8SCi mother-
board from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to sup-
port 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 Electric Static Discharge
(ESD).
Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral 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 anti-
static bags when not in use.
•
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent 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.
5-2 Motherboard Installation
This section explains the first step of physically mounting the P8SCi into the
SC811T-260 chassis. Following the steps in the order given will eliminate
the most common problems encountered in such an installation. To remove
the motherboard, follow the procedure in reverse order.
1. Accessing the inside of the 5014C-T (see Figure 2-5)
Two release buttons are located on the top cover of the chassis.
Depressing both of these buttons while pushing 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. (If already installed in a
rack, you must first release the retention screws that secure the unit
to the rack. Then grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit
straight out until the rails lock into place.)
2. Check compatibility of motherboard ports and I/O shield:
The P8SCi requires a chassis big enough to support a 12" x 9.5"
motherboard, such as Supermicro's SC811T-260 chassis. Make sure
that the I/O ports on the motherboard align properly with their respec-
tive holes in the I/O shield at the back of the chassis.
3. Mounting the motherboard onto the motherboard tray:
Carefully mount the motherboard to the motherboard tray by aligning
the board holes with the raised metal standoffs that are visible on the
bottom of the chassis. Insert screws into all the mounting holes on
your motherboard that line up with the standoffs and tighten until snug
(if you screw them in too tight, you might strip the threads). Metal
screws provide an electrical contact to the motherboard ground to
provide a continuous ground for the system.

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the motherboard is 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 to prevent them from blocking the flow of cooling air
that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to discon-
nect 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 should be connected. (See the
layout on page 5-9 for connector locations.)
ꢀ CD-ROM Drive Cable (IDE)
ꢀ
ꢀ
ꢀ
Floppy Drive Cable (Floppy)
Serial ATA Device Cables (SATA0, SATA1)
Serial ATA LED cable (JSLED)
ꢀ Control Panel Cable (JF1)
Connecting Power Cables
The P8SCi has one 24-pin primary power supply connector ("ATX power")
at J1 and one 4-pin power connector at J2 for connection to the ATX power
supply. See Chapter 5 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 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. See Chapter 5 for details.

5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1.
Expansion slots
The P8SCi has two PCI-Express x1 slots, one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot and
one 32-bit PCI slot. A riser card designed specifically for use in the
SC811T-260 chassis is included with your system. This riser card allows
an installed PCI card to sit at a 90 degree angle so it can fit inside the
chassis. This riser card accommodates 64-bit PCI-X cards and is installed
in the 133 MHz PCI-X slot (see Figure 5-4).
Figure 5-4. 64-bit PCI-X Riser Card
2.
PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, locate the PCI riser card mentioned in
Step 1. Begin by removing the shield for the PCI slot you wish to populate.
Fully seat the PCI card into the riser card and screw it into the metal reten-
tion rail. Then, insert the riser card into the PCI slot on the motherboard,
pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the rear of the
chassis. The expansion slot shields protect the motherboard and its com-
ponents from EMI and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure there is al-
ways a shield covering each unused PCI slot.

Explanation of
Jumpers
To modify the operation of the
motherboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional set-
tings. Jumpers create shorts be-
tween two pins to change the
function of the connector. Pin 1 is
identified with a square solder pad
on the printed circuit board. See
the motherboard layout pages for
jumper locations.

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform
maintenance on the SC811T-260 chassis. For component installation, fol-
low the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems
encountered. If a step is unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintainance
is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electric Static 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 suffi-
cient to protect your equipment from ESD discharge.
Precautions
ꢀ Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
ꢀ Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its anti-
static bag.
ꢀ Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, periph-
eral 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 anti-
static bags when not in use.
ꢀ For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides ex-
cellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting
fasteners and the motherboard.
Unpacking
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage.
When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static pro-
tected.

cabling out of the airflow path. The LEDs inform you of system status. See
Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on
JF1 can be found in Chapter 5.
6-3 System Fans
Two 10-cm blower fans provide the cooling for the SuperServer 5014C-T.
The chassis includes air seals under the blower fans and at the chassis
cross section, which separates the drive bay area from the motherboard
area of the chassis to promote better airflow. It is highly important that the
air seal is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling
air to circulate properly through the chassis.
The fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed in the
system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan
speed is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see page 7-13).
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, you will need to have it replaced with the same type. Contact
your vendor or Supermicro for information on replacement fans.
6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
Serial ATA Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to
access the inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or
replace Serial ATA drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or floppy disk
drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the 5014C-T by removing
the top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive
Installation" section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only a "slim" CD-ROM drive will fit into the 5014C-T.

Serial ATA Drive Installation
1.
Mounting a Serial ATA drive in a drive carrier
The Serial ATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their
installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help
promote proper airflow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason,
even empty carriers without Serial ATA drives installed must remain in the
chassis. To add a new Serial ATA 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 Drive in a Carrier
Use caution when working around the Serial ATA
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 Serial ATA hard
drives are installed, both drive carriers must remain in
!
the drive bays to maintain proper airflow.

Installing/removing hot-swap Serial ATA drives
Two Serial ATA drive bays are located in the front of the chassis, making
them easily accessible for installation and removal. These drives are hot-
swappable, meaning they can be installed and removed without powering
down the system. To remove, first push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs, then swing the colored handle fully out and use it
to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).

Serial ATA Power Cables
Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the
airflow through the chassis. See the motherboard layout diagram for the
location of the cable connections.
Serial ATA Backplane
The Serial ATA drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID
and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to
provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID
support to enable the hot-swap capability of the Serial ATA drives. The
backplane has two jumpers as follows:
JP18: Alarm reset
JP25: Hard drive temperature threshold
Settings: Open = 45º, Pins 1-2 = 50º, Pins 2-3 = 55º.
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 CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to
fit into the 5014C-T.
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 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. You must power down the system
before installing or removing a CD-ROM or floppy drive.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully
installed in their bays.

6-5 Power Supply
The SuperServer 5014C-T has a single 260 watt power supply. This power
supply has the capability of operating at 100 or 240 input volts. Depress
the main power button on the front of the chassis and then unplug the AC
power cord to completely remove power from the system before removing
the power supply.
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 di-
rectly from Supermicro (PWS-0055 - see contact infomation in Chapter 1).
Replacing the Power Supply
1.
Accessing the inside of the SuperServer 5014C-T
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover.
To do so, 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 and push it away from
you. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.
2.
Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the system. To remove the failed
power unit, remove the two screws on the back of the power supply,
which secure it to the chassis. You can then lift the unit straight out of
the chassis. (The power cord should have already been removed.)
3.
Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same wattage. It is highly
recommended to replace it with the exact same power supply. Carefully
insert the new unit into position in the chassis and secure it with the two
screws at the rear of the unit. Before reconnecting the power cord,
make sure the power switch on the power supply is in the off position.
Then reconnect the power cord, replace the chassis top cover and push
the unit back into the rack. Finish by turning the power switch on the
power supply on, and then depress the power button on the front of the
system.

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AwardBIOS Setup utility for the P8SCi. The
AwardBIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a
floppy disk-based program. Due to periodic changes in the BIOS, some
settings may have been added or deleted that might not yet be recorded in
this manual. Please refer to the Manual Download area of the Supermicro
web site (www.supermicro.com) for any such changes.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is
booting-up. (In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup
screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>,
<F2>, and so on.)
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS
screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. 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: BIOS has default
text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or
change any of these text messages.) Options printed in Bold are the
default settings.
The BIOS setup/utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys.
Most of these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.)
can be used at any time during the setup navigation process.
Note: fan speed is controlled by the "Fan Speed Control Mode" setting in
BIOS. The recommended setting for this server is "3-pin (Server)" If you
load the BIOS default settings, this setting may change. Therefore, if you
do load BIOS defaults, you should reenter BIOS setup and change this
setting back to "3-pin (Server)", then save and exit (see page 7-13).

SoftwareInstallation
After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure Intel's ICH6R
SATA RAID before installing the Windows Operating System and other
software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro
CDs that came packaged with your motherboard. (If you do not wish to
configure onboard SATA RAID functions, please go directly to Section C-5 to
install the Operating System & software.)
C-1 Configuring Intel ICH6R SATA RAID Function
To configure SATA RAID functions, you must first configure the desired
RAID Level in the Intel ICH6R SATA RAID Utility program. Note that the
current version of the ICH6R SATA RAID Utility can only support Windows
XP/2000 Operating Systems.
Serial ATA (SATA)
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface. It uses a single cable with
a minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between de-
vices. SATA is a serial link which supports transfer rates from 150 MBps.
Because the serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables
used in Parallel ATA (PATA), SATA systems have better airflow and can be
installed in smaller chassis than Parallel ATA. In addition, the cables used in
PATA can only extend to 40cm long, while SATA cables can extend up to one
meter. Overall, SATA provides better functionality than PATA.
Intel's ICH6R Serial RAID
Located in the South Bridge of the E7221 Chipset, the I/O Controller Hub
(ICH6R) provides the I/O subsystem with access to the rest of the system. It
supports a one-channel Ultra ATA/100 Bus Master IDE controller (PATA) and a
Serial ATA (SATA) Host Controller that supports up to four Serial ATA ports
and up to two sets of RAID drives. The ICH6R supports the following Parallel
ATA and Serial ATA device configurations:
