Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6014P-
T/6014P-TR 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 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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 6014P-T/6014P-TR.
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. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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.

SUPERSERVER 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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).
- 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
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 SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
ing them.
- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the serv-
ers 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 6014P-T/6014P-TR into a rack
unit with the rack rails provided. 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.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit
you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis.
Proceed to the next step. A

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach
a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear
side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper
distance so that the rail can fit snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the
front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side
of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs
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.

SUPERSERVER 6014P-T/6014P-TR User's Manual
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
To install the 6014P-T/6014P-TR into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets
on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will
extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance
the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, 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 rack.
Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

First, release the retention screws that secure the system to the rack. Grasp the
two handles on either side and pull the system 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 (1). Push the cover away from you (toward the rear of the chassis)
until it stops (2). You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access
to the inside of the server.
To remove the system from the rack completely, depress the locking tabs in the
chassis rails (push the right-side tab down and the left-side tab up) to continue to
pull the system out past the locked position.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You should have one or two processors already installed in the serverboard. Each
processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and
heatsink installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your server system may have come with system memory already 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 add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing PCI add-on cards.
5. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking the
chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA
drives and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all connections have
been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM
and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SATA
disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without
removing the top chassis cover.
2. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
A slim CD-ROM and floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. 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
more drives already installed. If you need to install SATA drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by five sets of 40-mm fans (each set of fans consists of two
fans that are mounted back to back). The system component layout was care-
fully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the components that generate
the most heat. 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(s) from the power supply module(s) 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) source.

Overview
There are several LEDs on the chassis control panel as well as others on the SATA
drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system
as well as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two but-
tons on the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED
indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
3-2
Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-button buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are
(in order from left to right) a UID button and a power on/off button.
ꢀ
UID: Depressing the UID (unit identifier) button illuminates an LED on both
the front and rear of the chassis for easy system location in large stack configura-
tions (see page 5-21). The LED will remain on until the button is pushed a second
time. Another UID button on the rear of the chassis serves the same function.
ꢀ
POWER: This is the main power switch, which is used to apply or turn off
the main system power. Turning off system power with this button removes the
main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC814+T-560/SC814+T-R560 chassis
has six LEDs, which 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.
ꢀ
UID: This LED turns on when either the front or the rear UID button is pushed.
Pushing either button a second time will turn this LED off.
ꢀ
Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When
on continuously (on and not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which 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 prop-
erly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat
condition exists.

this light indicates SATA and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing.
ꢀ
Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply
module(s). With the 6014P-T, this LED should always be green when the system is
operating. On the 6014P-TR, this LED turns amber in the event of a power supply
failure or if a power supply cord is disconnected or loose.

Serial ATA Drive Carrier LED
Each Serial ATA drive carrier has a green LED. When illuminated, this green LED
(on the front of the Serial ATA drive carrier) indicates drive activity. A connec-
tion to the Serial ATA backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that
particular drive is being accessed.
Note: The second LED on the SATA carriers is not used.

Chapter 4
System Safety
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself
from harm and the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR 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 serverboard, memory
modules and the DVD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for SATA
drives). When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system
with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power
supply modules 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 electrostatic discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
ꢀ The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

ꢀServerboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities. 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. See Figure 4-1.
ꢀ 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.
ꢀMainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
ture Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
ꢀ Keep the area around the SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR clean and free of
clutter.
ꢀThe SuperServer 6014P-T/6014P-TR weighs approximately 42/45 lbs (19.1/20.5
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.

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 any board from its 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.

Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors, memory and heatsinks
to the X6DHP-TG serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-
on cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout
and quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the
chassis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect
and cool the system.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent damage
to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see Chapter
4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause it to bend if
handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the serverboard 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
static discharge.
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.
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.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation
When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure
on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the motherboard on a
!
conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent
the system from booting up.
IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heat sink.
CPU Installation
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket: Lift
the lever completely as shown on the

5-3 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to the
serverboard. 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 in preconfigured systems 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). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when
routing the cables. The following data cables (with their motherboard connector
locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout figure in this
chapter for connector locations.
ꢀ Serial ATA cables (MSATA0-1)
ꢀ CD-ROM cable (JIDE2)
ꢀ Floppy drive cable (JFDD1)
ꢀ Control panel cable (JF1, see next page)
ꢀ COM port cable (COM1)
Connecting Power Cables
The X6DHP-TG has a 24-pin primary ATX power supply connector designated
"JPW1" for connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector
from the power supply to the JPWR1 connector to supply power to the serverboard.
The 12V 8-pin power connector at JPWR2 must also be connected to your power
supply. See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector
pin definitions.

Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure
5-3 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indi-
cators. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of
each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single ribbon cable to simplify their connec-
tion. Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 as marked on the board. The other
end connects to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just behind the
system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.

5-5 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules: http://
www.supermicro.com/support/resources/
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules
to prevent any possible damage. Also note that the memory is inter-
leaved to improve performance (see step 1).
DIMM Installation (Figures 5-5a and 5-5b)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory sockets, starting with Bank
1. The memory scheme is interleaved so you must install two modules at a
time, beginning with DIMM #1A, then DIMM #1B, and so on.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its socket. Pay attention to the notch
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incor-
rectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the sockets.
Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).
Memory Support
The X6DHP-TG has six 184-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 12 GB of regis-
tered ECC DDR333 (PC2700) or up to 24 GB of registered ECC DDR266 (PC2100)
SDRAM. The serverboard was designed to support 2 GB modules in each socket,
but has only been verified for up to 1 GB modules. The memory is an interleaved

Notes: (L) refers to left and (R) refers to right-side slots when viewed from the front
of the chassis. "Boxed" riser cards are included with the system (in the accessory
box). A PCI-X slot and a PCI-E slot together constitute a Universal PCI slot. If
both riser cards are to be used on the 6014P-T, you must install the right-side riser
card (when viewed from front of the system) first.
2.
PCI card installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the riser card
and slot that supports the speed of the card (see step 1 above - you may need
to change the installed riser card with a boxed one to support the type of add-on
card you wish to install).
Begin by swinging out the release tab on the PCI slot shield that corresponds
to the riser slot you wish to populate. Insert the PCI card into the correct riser
slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Finish by
pushing the release tab back to its original (locked) position. Follow this proce-
dure when adding a card to the other slot (if applicable).

Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-
nance on the SC814+T-560/SC814+T-R560 chassis. For component installation,
follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encoun-
tered. If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a
Philips screwdriver.
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.

6-3 System Fans
Five 40-mm fans provide the cooling for the 6014P-T/6014P-TR. Each fan unit is
actually made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite direc-
tions. This counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to
dampen vibration levels. These 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 7-16). Each fan in a set
has its own separate tachometer.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airflow to
circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan
fail LED on the control panel will turn on. Replace any failed fan at your earliest
convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with
a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover (see instructions on p. 2-8) while the
system is still running to determine which of the five fan units has failed. Then
power down the system before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord(s) is
also recommended as a safety precaution.
Replacing System Cooling Fans
1. Removing a fan
After turning off the power to the system, first remove the chassis cover (refer to
page 6-7) and unplug all the fan cables from the motherboard. Grasp the rectan-
gular housing that holds all the fan units and lift it out of the chassis (see Figure
6-2). Push the failed fan out through the bottom of the fan housing.
2. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical 40-mm, 12 volt fan (available from
Supermicro: p/n FAN-0079). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing
while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point
in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. Reposition the fan housing
back over the two mounting posts in the chassis, then reconnect the fan wires to
the same chassis fan headers you removed them from. Power up the system and
check that the fan is working properly and that the LED on the control panel has
turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

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 facing down so that the
mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with
six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier
Use caution when working around the SATA 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 SATA hard drives are in-
stalled, all SATA drive carriers must remain in the drive bays for
proper airflow.

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SATA drives
The SATA drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These
hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system. To remove a carrier, 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).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SATA drives.
Figure 6-4. Removing a Serial ATA Drive Carrier
Release Button
Important: All of the Serial ATA drive carriers must remain in
the drive bays to maintain proper cooling airflow.
!
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 is already preconfigured,
so there are no jumpers or switches present on it.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
DVD/CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD/CD-
ROM and floppy drive bays. The 6014P-T/6014P-TR accomodates only slim
DVD/CD-ROM and floppy drives. Side mounting brackets are needed to mount
the DVD/CD-ROM drive in the server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or DVD/
CD-ROM drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server 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 ac-
cess to the inside of the server.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive
you want to remove. Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be
on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis. Pull the tab
away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis. Add a new
drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint *click* of the
locking tab when the drive is fully inserted. Remember to reconnect the data and
power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power
to the system. Please be aware of the following:
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.

6-5 Power Supply
6014P-TR
The SuperServer 6014P-TR has a redundant 560 watt power supply configuration
consisting of two hot-swappable power modules. The power supply modules have
an auto-switching capability, which enables them to automatically sense and operate
with a 100V - 240V input voltage.
Power Supply Failure
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 Power
On LED on the control panel will turn yellow and remain on until the failed module
has been replaced. Replacement modules can be ordered directly from Supermicro
(see contact information in the Preface). The power supply modules have a hot-
swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed module without powering down
the system.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply module.
The redundant feature will keep the system up and running while you replace the
failed hot-swap module. Replace with the same model - SP562-1R (p/n PWS-
0057), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see Contact Information in
the Preface).
1.
Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. To remove
the failed power module, first locate the colored release tab (1). Push the tab to
the right (2) and then pull the module straight out with the handle provided (3)
(Figure 6-5, single power supply server shown). The power supply wiring was
designed to detach automatically when the module is pulled from the chassis.
2.
Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed hot-swap module with another SP562-1R power supply mod-
ule. Simply push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear
a click. Finish by plugging the AC power cord back into the module.

6014P-T
The SuperServer 6014P-T has a single 560 watt cold-swap power supply, which is
auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a
100v - 240v input voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply
when the power is off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply
is operating.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to
replace the module. Replacements can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see
contact information in the Preface). As there is only one power supply module in
the 6014P-T, power must be completely removed from the server before removing
and replacing the power supply for whatever reason.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
1.
Removing the power supply
First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord
from the system. To remove the failed power module, first locate the colored re-
lease tab (1). Push the tab to the right (2) and then pull the module straight out
with the handle provided (3) (Figure 6-5). The power supply wiring was designed
to detach automatically when the module is pulled from the chassis.
2.

Reconfiguring the Power Supply
Although the standard configuration for the 6014P-T and 6014P-TR is with single
and dual (redundant) power supplies respectively, you can reconfigure the 6014P-
T to hold two power supply modules or (not recommended) the 6014P-TR to hold
a single power supply module. The alternate backpanel section you will need for
either operation has been included with the system.
Note: in the following instructions, "right" and "left" refers to the side noted when
viewed from the rear of the system.
Reconfiguring the 6014P-T (see Figure 6-6)
1. You will first need to power down the system and remove the power cord. To gain
access to the inside of the system, pull the server out from the rack and remove
the top chassis cover by following the instructions on page 2-8.
2. Remove any expansion card that may be installed in the right-side riser card.
3. Remove the three screws that secure the riser card bracket, which runs from
the primary ATX power connector to the rear of the chassis. After the screws are
removed, lift the riser card bracket out from the chassis.
4. At the rear of the power distribution board (where the second power supply
is inserted), there is a vertical shield that protects the second power supply slot.
Remove this shield by grasping and forcibly pulling it off the cover that protects the
power distribution board.

5. Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it connected
to the serverboard.
6. Remove the three screws (two on the bottom and one on the side) that secure
the right backpanel section to the chassis, then remove the backpanel section
(Figure 6-6, step 1). Locate the alternate backpanel section (included in the ac-
cessory box) and attach it to the chassis with the same screws you just removed
(Figure 6-6, step 2).
7. Reattach the COM port header to the proper space on the new backpanel sec-
tion.
8. Reinstall the riser card bracket.
9. Insert a new power supply module, pushing it all the way into the empty bay
until it clicks into place.
10. Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and reconnect
the power cords (to both power modules now). Power up the system.
Reconfiguring the 6014P-TR (see Figure 6-7)
Reconfiguring the 6014P-TR as a single power supply system
is not recommended by Supermicro. However, if you do wish to re-
configure the system, please carefully follow the instructions below.
1. First, power down the system and remove the power cords from both power
modules, as well as the left-side (when viewed from the rear of the system) power
supply. To gain access to the inside of the system, pull the server out from the rack
and remove the top chassis cover by following the instructions on page 2-8.
2. Once the cover is removed and you have full access to the inside of the system,
begin by removing the three screws that secure the riser card bracket, which runs
from the primary ATX power connector to the rear of the chassis. After the screws
are removed, lift the riser card bracket out from the chassis.
3. Remove the COM port header from the backpanel while keeping it connected
to the serverboard.
4. Remove the three screws (two on the bottom and one on the side) that secure the
right backpanel section to the chassis, then remove the backpanel section (Figure
6-6, step 2). Locate the alternate backpanel section and attach it to the backpanel
with the same screws you just removed (Figure 6-6, step 1).

5. Pull the left-side (when viewed from the rear of the system) power supply out
of the chassis. Note that the power distribution board contacts for this power
supply are now exposed. Supermicro does not supply a shield to protect these
contacts, you must do so on your own.
6. Reinstall the riser card bracket.
7. You may now add a left-side riser card (purchased separately*) and a PCI-
X/PCI-Express expansion card in the space vacated by the second power supply
module, if desired.
8. Reattach the COM port header to the space provided in the new backpanel
section.
9. Replace the chassis cover, push the system back into the rack and reconnect
the power cord (to only a single power module now). Power up the system.
* CSE-RR1U-X (for PCI-X cards) or CSE-RR1U-EL (for PCI-Express cards).
!
!
Important: Reconfiguring the 6014P-TR as a single power supply system
is not recommended. If you do reconfigure the 6014P-TR, it is extremely
important that you install a shield (not included) to protect the power distri-
bution board contacts that were used by the second power supply module
(see step 5 above).

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X6DHP-TG. The
Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a
floppy disk-based program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or
deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual
Download area of the Supermicro web site <http://www.supermicro.com> for any
changes to BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.
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>, etc.) 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 mes-
sage. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often
a text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built
in. Supermicro retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these text mes-
sages.) 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 “Auto Fan Control” setting in BIOS. The rec-
ommended (default) setting for the 6014P-T/6014P-TR is “3-pin (Server)”. The fan
speed setting is decribed on page 7-16.

Appendix A: BIOS POST Codes
Appendix A
BIOS POST Codes
This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the Phoenix BIOS. POST
codes are divided into two categories: recoverable and terminal.
Recoverable POST Errors
When a recoverable type of error occurs during POST, the BIOS will display an
POST code that describes the problem. BIOS may also issue one of the follow-
ing beep codes:
1 long and two short beeps - video configuration error
1 repetitive long beep - no memory detected
Terminal POST Errors
If a terminal type of error occurs, BIOS will shut down the system. Before doing
so, BIOS will write the error to port 80h, attempt to initialize video and write the
error in the top left corner of the screen. The following is a list of codes that may
be written to port 80h.

If the BIOS detects error 2C, 2E, or 30 (base 512K RAM error), it displays an additional
word-bitmap (xxxx) indicating the address line or bits that failed. For example, “2C
0002” means address line 1 (bit one set) has failed. “2E 1020" means data bits 12
and 5 (bits 12 and 5 set) have failed in the lower 16 bits. The BIOS also sends the
bitmap to the port-80 LED display. It first displays the checkpoint code, followed by
a delay, the high-order byte, another delay, and then the loworder byte of the error.
It repeats this sequence continuously.

Appendix B
Software Installation
After all the hardware has been installed, you must first configure the Adaptec
Embedded Serial ATA RAID Driver before you install the Windows operating
system. The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro bootable
CDs that came packaged with your motherboard. (For Adaptec's Host RAID
Utility, please refer to the CDs that came with your system.)
B-1 Adaptec Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver
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 devices.
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.
Configuring BIOS settings for the SATA RAID Functions
1. Press the Del key during system bootup to enter the BIOS Setup Utility.
Note: If it is the first time to power on the system, we recommend that you
load the Optimized Default Settings. If you have already done so, please skip
to Step 3.
2. Use the arrow keys to select the "Exit" Menu. Once in the "Exit" Menu, scroll
down the menu to select the item "Load Optimized Default Settings" and press
the Enter key. Select OK to confirm the selection. Press the Enter key to load
the default settings to the BIOS.
3. Use the arrow keys to select the "Main" Menu in BIOS.
4. Scroll down to the item "SATA RAID Enable", select Enabled and press
Enter.

5. Tap the Esc key and scroll down to "Exit". Select "Save and Exit" from the
"Exit" menu. Press the Enter key to save the changes and exit the BIOS.
6. Once you've exited the BIOS Utility, the system will re-boot.
7. During system startup, press the Ctrl and the A keys simultaneously to run
the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility when prompted by the message: "Press
<Ctrl><A> for Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility".
Adaptec Embedded SATA with HostRAID Controller Driver
Adaptec's Embedded Serial ATA RAID with HostRAID controller adds RAID
functionality to the Serial ATA I/O controller by supporting RAID 0 (Striping) or
RAID 1 (Mirroring) to enhance the industry's pioneer PCI-to-e host controller
products. RAID striping (RAID 0) can greatly improve hard disk I/O performance
because of its capability in striping data across multiple drives. RAID mirroring
(RAID 1) allows the data to be simultaneously written to two drives, so critical
data is always available even if one hard disk fails.
Due to this built-in functionality, your Supermicro motherboard is specially
designed to keep pace with the increasing performance demands of today's
computer systems by improving disk I/O throughput and providing data acces-
sibility regardless of a single disk failure. By incorporating Adaptec Embedded
Serial ATA into the motherboard design, Supermicro offers the user the benefits
of SATA RAID without the high costs associated with RAID hardware.
Note: For Adaptec's RAID Driver Installation Instructions, please refer to the
Adaptec RAID Controller User's Guide: "Emb_SA_RAID_UG.pdf", which is lo-
cated in the CD that came with this motherboard. You can also download a copy
of Adaptec's User's Guide from our website at www.supermicro.com.

Notes
1. Before adding a new drive to an array, back up any data contained on the new
drive. Otherwise, all data will be lost.
2. If you stop the build or clear process on a RAID 1 from ACU, you can restart it
by pressing Ctrl+R.
3. A RAID 1 created using the Quick Init option may return some data mis-com-
pares if you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for
concern.
4. The ACU allows you to use drives of different sizes in a RAID. However, during a
build operation, only the smaller drive can be selected as the source or first drive.
5. When migrating from single volume to RAID 0, migrating from a larger drive to
a smaller drive is allowed. However, the destination drive must be at least half the
capacity of the source drive.
6. Adaptec does not recommend that you migrate or build an array on Windows
dynamic disks (volumes), as it will result in data loss.
Warning: Do not interrupt the creation of RAID 0 using the Migrate option. If you do,
you will not be able to restart or to recover the data that was on the source drive.

Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new
array or if it appears grayed out, you may have to initialize it before you can use
it as part of an array. Drives attached to the controller must be initialized before
they can be used in an array.
Caution: Initializing a disk overwrites the partition table on the disk and makes
any data on the disk inaccessible. If the drive is used in an array, you may not
be able to use the array again.
Do not initialize a disk that is part of a boot array. To determine which disks
are associated with a particular array, please refer to Viewing Array Properties.
To initialize drives:

Rebuilding Arrays
Note 1: Rebuilding applies to Fault Tolerant arrays (RAID 1) only.
If an array build process (or initialization) is interrupted or critical with one member
missing, you must perform a rebuild to optimized its functionality. For a critical
array rebuild operation, the optimal drive is the source drive.
Note 2: If no spare array exists and a hard disk drive fails, you need to
create a spare before you can rebuild an array.
To Rebuild an array:
1. From the Main Menu, select Manage Arrays. From the list of arrays, select
the array you want to rebuild.
2. Press Ctrl+R to rebuild.

Supero Doctor III
The Supero Doctor III program is a web-based management tool that offers both
remote and local management tools. The local management application is called
SD III Client. The Supero Doctor III program included on the CDROM that came
with your motherboard allows you to monitor the environment and operations
of your system. Supero Doctor III displays crucial system information such as
CPU temperature, system voltages and fan status. See Figures B-2 and B-3
for examples of the Supero Doctor III interface.
Note: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN /
ADMIN.
Note: When SuperDoctor III is first installed, it adopts the temperature threshold
settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresh-
olds must be made within Super Doctor, as the Super Doctor settings override
the BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you
would first need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.
