Chapter 2  
Server Installation  
2-1 Overview  
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1011M-T2 up and run-  
ning. 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  
1011M-T2 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 1011M-T2 was shipped in and note if it was dam-  
aged 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 1011M-T2. 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 1011M-T2 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.

AS1011M-T2 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, etc.).  
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 simul-  
taneously 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 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 1011M-T2 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 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 with the 1011M-T2. Each of  
these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to  
the unit (A) and an outer fixed 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 1011M-T2 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 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.

AS1011M-T2 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 chas-  
sis 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".

Chapter 2: Server Installation  
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack  
If you are installing the 1011M-T2 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 1011M-T2 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, 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 may have a processor already installed to the system board. The processor  
should have a heatsink attached. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and  
heatsink installation.  
3. Check the system memory  
Your 1011M-T2 server system may have come with system memory already in-  
stalled. 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.

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 connec-  
tions 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 4-cm counter-rotating 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 protec-  
tion from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an  
uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

Control Panel LEDs  
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has five LEDs. These LEDs  
provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This  
section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective ac-  
tion you may need to take.  
Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes, it indicates a fan failure. When  
on continuously 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 properly (see Chapter  
5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

Serial ATA Drive Carrier LEDs  
Each Serial ATA drive carrier has two LEDs.  
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SATA drive car-  
rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SATA backplane enables this LED  
to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.  
Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive  
is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SATA drive fails, you  
should be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter  
6 for instructions on replacing failed SATA drives.

System Safety  
4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions  
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from  
harm and the 1011M-T2 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 drive. 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.

AS1011M-T2 User's Manual  
Motherboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard  
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (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 1011M-T2 clean and free of clutter.  
The 1011M-T2 weighs approximately 35 lbs (15.9 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 processors and heatsinks to the  
H8SMi-2 motherboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on  
cards. All motherboard 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 motherboard to protect and  
cool the system sufficiently.  
5-1 Handling the Motherboard  
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-  
age to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see  
Chapter 4). Also note that the size and weight of the motherboard can cause it  
to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the moth-  
erboard 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 motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic  
bags when not in use.  
Unpacking  
The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When  
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis  
All serverboards and motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different  
types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both  
the motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic  
and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they  
ground the motherboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click  
in or are screwed in tightly.  
1. Check the compatibility of the motherboard ports and the I/O shield  
The H8SMi-2 motherboard requires a chassis that can support extended ATX  
boards of 12" x 9.6" in size, such as the SC811FT-260. Make sure that the I/O  
ports on the motherboard align with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the  
rear of the chassis.  
2. Mounting the motherboard onto the mainboard tray in the chassis  
Carefully mount the motherboard onto the mainboard tray by aligning the mother-  
board mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray. Insert screws into  
all the mounting holes in the motherboard that line up with the standoffs. Then use a  
screwdriver to secure the motherboard to the mainboard tray - tighten until just snug  
(if 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 Processor and Heatsink Installation  
Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-  
sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-  
fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.  
!
Installing the Processor  
1. Lift the lever on the CPU socket until  
it points straight up.  
5-2  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup  
2. Use your thumb and your index fin-  
ger to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on  
the CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU.  
Both are marked with a triangle.  
Triangles  
3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1  
of the socket. Once aligned, carefully  
place the CPU into the socket. Do not  
drop the CPU on the socket, move the  
CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the  
CPU against the socket or against any  
pins of the socket, which may damage  
the CPU and/or the socket.  
4. With the CPU inserted into the  
socket, inspect the four corners of the  
CPU to make sure that it is properly  
installed and flush with the socket.  
5. Gently press the CPU socket lever  
down until it locks in the plastic tab.  
Installing the Heatsink  
A heatsink should be installed to the processor. You will have to remove the air  
shroud to install. See Figure 5-1.  
You may be using Supermicro's optional heatsinks (part number SNK-P0026) or  
those from a third party. To install the heatsinks, please follow the installation  
instructions included with your heatsink package.  
5-3  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
AS1011M-T2 User's Manual  
Installing the Heatsink Retention Modules  
One heatsink retention module (BKT-0005) and two screws are included in the retail  
box. Once installed, these are used to help attach the heatsink to the CPU. To  
install, position the module so that the CPU backplate standoffs insert through the  
holes on the heatsink retention module and the four feet on the module contact the  
motherboard. Secure the retention module to the backplate with the two screws  
provided. See Figure 2-1.  
Note: BKT-0005 is included for use with third-party heatsinks only. When installing  
a Supermicro heatsink (SNK-P0026), only BKT-0004 (CPU backplate) is needed.  
The BKT-0005 retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip-  
and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.

5-4 Connecting Cables  
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to  
the motherboard. 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 reroute them 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 motherboard layout diagram in  
this chapter for connector locations.  
CD-ROM cable (IDE#1)  
Floppy Drive cable (JFDD1)  
SATA cable (SATA0, SATA1)  
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)  
Connecting Power Cables  
The H8SMi-2 has a 24-pin primary power supply connector "JPW1" for connec-  
tion to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power  
supply to the "ATX Power" connector to supply power to the motherboard. See the  
Connector Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.  
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 4-pin Auxiliary power  
connector at J22.

AS1011M-T2 User's Manual  
Connecting the Control Panel  
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure  
5-2 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indica-  
tors and refer to section 5-9 for details. Note that even and odd numbered pins  
are on opposite sides of each header.  
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their  
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect  
the other end of the cable 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.

CAUTION  
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules  
to prevent any possible damage.  
1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, paying attention to the notch  
along the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the module incorrectly (see  
Figure 2-2). Install to slot 1A first, then 2A, etc. See support information below.  
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.  
Note: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB memory modules are supported. It is highly  
recommended that you remove the power cord from the system before installing or  
changing any memory modules.

AS1011M-T2 User's Manual  
Support  
The H8SMi-2 supports single or dual-channel, DDR2-800/667/533 unbuffered  
ECC/non-ECC SDRAM.  
Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate  
any number of DIMM slots (see note on previous page).  
Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and  
type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved  
(64-bit) memory. The best practice is to install DIMMS in order from 1A to 2B.  
Maximum memory: 8 GB of DDR2-800/667/533 unbuffered ECC/non-ECC  
SDRAM.

5-7 Adding PCI Cards  
1. PCI slots  
The H8SMi-2 has several PCI expansion slots. The PCI-Express x16 slot may be  
populated with the use of the CSE-RR1U-E16 riser card, which is included with the  
system.  
2. PCI card installation  
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure it is supported by the riser card (see  
step 1, above). Begin by pulling the locking tab downward to unlock the bracket  
that covers the slot, then remove the bracket. Insert the add-on card into the riser  
card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. When the  
card is correctly installed, finish by pushing the locking tab upward to secure the  
card in the system.  
Note: the PCI slot shield helps promote proper airlow in the chassis and shield the  
inside of the system from EMI (electromagnetic interference). For these reasons,  
make sure there is a shield covering the slot if unused.

Explanation of  
Jumpers  
To modify the operation of the  
motherboard, jumpers can be  
used to choose between optional  
settings. Jumpers create shorts  
between 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 diagram at right for an example  
of jumping pins 1 and 2. Refer to  
the motherboard layout page for  
jumper locations.

Note:Ontwo-pinjumpers,"Closed"  
means the jumper is on and "Open"  
means the jumper is off the pins.  
CMOS Clear  
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins,  
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents  
of CMOS.  
To clear CMOS,  
1) First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).  
2) With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as  
a small screwdriver for at least four seconds.  
3) Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).  
4) Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.  
Notes:  
Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.  
The onboard battery does not need to be removed when clearing CMOS, however  
you must short JBT1 for at least four seconds. Clearing CMOS on the H8SMi-2  
will not reset the RTC (real-time clock).

Connections  
Use the following information to connect the floppy and hard disk drive cables.  
The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.  
A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.  
A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide  
for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to  
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to  
drive B.  
The 80-wire ATA133 IDE hard disk drive cable that came with your system has  
two connectors to support two drives. This special cable should be used to take  
advantage of the speed this new technology offers. The blue connector connects  
to the onboard IDE connector interface and the other connector(s) to your hard  
drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for details  
on actual jumper locations and settings for the hard disk drive.

5-13 Enabling SATA RAID  
Now that the hardware is set up, you must now install the operating system and the  
SATA RAID drivers, if you wish to use RAID with your SATA drives. The installation  
procedure differs depending on whether you wish to have the operating system  
installed on a RAID array or on a separate non-RAID drive. See the instructions  
below for details.  
Serial ATA (SATA)  
Serial ATA (SATA) is a physical storage interface that employs a single cable with a  
minimum of four wires to create a point-to-point connection between devices. This  
connection is a serial link that supports a SATA transfer rate from 150 MBps. The  
serial cables used in SATA are thinner than the traditional cables used in Parallel  
ATA (PATA) and can extend up to one meter in length, compared to only 40 cm for  
PATA cables. Overall, SATA provides better functionality than PATA.  
Installing the OS/SATA Driver  
Before installing the OS (operating system) and SATA RAID driver, you must decide  
if you wish to have the operating system installed as part of a bootable RAID array  
or installed to a separate non-RAID hard drive. If on a separate drive, you may  
install the driver either during or after the OS installation. If you wish to have the  
OS on a SATA RAID array, you must follow the procedure below and install the  
driver during the OS installation.  
Building a Driver Diskette  
You must first build a driver diskette from the Supermicro CD-ROM that was included  
with the system. (You will have to create this disk on a computer that is already  
running and with the OS installed.) Insert the CD into your CD-ROM drive and  
start the system. A display as shown in Figure 2-5 will appear. Click on the icon  
labeled "Build Driver Diskettes and Manuals" and follow the instructions to create  
a floppy disk with the driver on it. Once it's been created, remove the floppy and  
insert the installation CD for the Windows Operating System you wish to install into  
the CD-ROM drive of the new system you are about to configure.  
Enabling SATA RAID in the BIOS  
Before installing the Windows Operating System, you must change some settings  
in BIOS. Boot up the system and hit the <Del> key to enter the BIOS Setup Utlility.  
After the Setup Utility loads,  
1. Use the arrow keys to move to the Exit menu. Scroll down with the arrow keys  
to the "Load Optimal Defaults setting and press <Enter>. Select "OK" to confirm,  
then <Enter> to load the default settings.

2. Use the arrow keys to move to the "Advanced" menu, then scroll down to "nVidia  
RAID Setup" and press the <Enter> key. Once in the submenu, scroll down to  
"nVidia RAID Function" and enable the setting, which will cause the SATA0/1/2  
Primary/Secondary settings to appear. Enable the SATA devices and channels  
you will be using.  
3. Hit the <Esc> key twice and scroll to the Exit menu. Select "Save Changes and  
Exit" and hit <enter>, then hit <Enter> again to verify.  
4. After exiting the BIOS Setup Utility, the system will reboot. When prompted  
during the startup, press the <F10> key when prompted to run the nVidia RAID  
Utility program.  
Using the nVidia RAID Utility  
The nVidia RAID Utility program is where you can define the drives you want to  
include in the RAID array and the mode and type of RAID. Two main windows  
are shown in the utility. The "Free Disks" window on the left will list all available  
drives. Use the arrow keys to select and move drives to the window on the right,  
which lists all drives that are to become part of the RAID array.  
Once you have finished selecting the drives and type of RAID you wish to use for  
your RAID array, press the <F7> key. You will be prompted to verify your choice; if  
you want to continue with your choices, select "Yes". Note that selecting "Yes" will  
clear all previous data from the drives you selected to be a part of the array. You  
are then given the choice of making the RAID array bootable by pressing the the  
<B> key. After you have finshed, press the <Ctrl> and <X> keys simultaneously.  
Installing the OS and Drivers  
With the Windows OS installation CD in the CD-ROM drive, restart the system.  
When you see the prompt, hit the <F6> key to enter Windows setup. Eventually a  
blue screen will appear with a message that begins "Windows could not determine  
the type of one or more storage devices . . ." When you see the screen, hit the <S>  
key to "Specify Additional Device", then insert the driver diskette you just created  
into the floppy drive. Highlight "Manufuacturer Supplied Hardware Support Disk"  
and hit the <Enter> key. Highlight the first "nVidia RAID" driver shown and press  
the <Enter> key to install it. Soon a similar blue screen will appear again. Again hit  
the <S> key, then highlight the second item, "nForce Storage Controller" and press  
the <Enter> key, then <Enter> again to continue with the Windows setup.

Chapter 6  
Advanced Chassis Setup  
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-  
nance on the SC811FT-260 chassis. For component installation, follow 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 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 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 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 static damage. When  
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-2 Control Panel  
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the  
JF1 connector on the motherboard to provide you with system control buttons and  
status indicators. These wires have been bundled together in a ribbon cable to  
simplify the connection. Connect the cable from JF1 on the motherboard to the  
Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin  
1 on both connectors. Pull all excess 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.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup  
6-3 System Fans  
Two 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the 1011M-T2. Each fan unit is actually made  
up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. 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 Chapter 7). Each fan in a set has its own separate tachometer.  
An air shroud is also included with the system to optimize airflow.  
Note: 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 blink on and off. 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 (refer to page 6-7) while the  
system is still running to determine which fan unit has failed, then power down  
the system to replace it. Removing the power cord(s) is also recommended as a  
safety precaution.  
Replacing System Fans  
1. Removing a fan  
With the system powered down, first unplug the failed fan cable from the mother-  
board. Grasp the failed fan unit and lift it out of the chassis.  
2. Installing a new fan  
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (p/n FAN-0087). At the  
bottom of each fan unit there are four small rubber pieces that help position the  
fan into place in the chassis. Remove these from the failed fan and attach them  
to the new fan (new fans do not include this piece). Then place the new fan in the  
housing with the fan wiring toward the motherboard. Reconnect the fan wiring to  
the same fan header you removed it 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.

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 1011M-T2 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 1011M-T2.  
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.

2. 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).  
Figure 6-4. Removing/Installing Serial ATA Drives  
Important: Regardless of how many Serial ATA drives are  
installed, both drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to  
maintain proper 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 has the following jumpers  
you need to be aware of:  
JP18: Alarm Reset (high temperature alarm)  
JP25: Hard drive threshold temperature (when exceeded, alarm will sound)  
Settings: Open = 45º C, Pins 1-2 = 50º C, Pins 2-3 = 55º C  
CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation  
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to both drives. The  
CD-ROM drive must have a "slim" profile to fit into the 1011M-T2. You must power  
down the system before installing or removing a CD-ROM or floppy drive.  
First, 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.  
To install either type of drive, start by disconnecting the drives' power and data  
cables then remove the two screws from either side of the bracket the secures the  
drives to the chassis. With these screws removed, you can then lift out the entire  
assembly (drives and bracket). Both the CD-ROM and the floppy drives are each  
secured to this bracket with four screws (two on either side). Remove these screws  
to take out the drive then install a new drive into the same space. Secure it to the  
bracket with the four screws. Then place the assembly back into place and secure  
it to the chassis with the two screws previously removed. Finish by reconnecting  
the drves' power and data cables.  
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed  
in their bays.

6-5 Power Supply  
The 1011M-T2 has a single 260 watt power supply. This power supply has the  
capability of operating at 100 - 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 re-  
place the power supply unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from the  
manufacturer (PWS-0055).  
Replacing the Power Supply  
1. Accessing the inside of the system  
To replace a power supply, you must first remove the top chassis cover. To do so,  
first 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 recom-  
mended 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.

BIOS  
7-1 Introduction  
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the H8SMi-2. The AMI  
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 our web site 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.  
We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Set-  
tings printed in Bold are the default values.  
A " " indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter>  
key will open the list of settings within that submenu.  
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.

BIOS Error Beep Codes  
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time  
the system is powered on, errors may occur.  
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the  
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.  
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up pro-  
cedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer  
for possible repairs.  
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.  
The numbers on the fatal error list, on the following page, correspond to the number  
of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep  
Code 8, are fatal errors.  
POST codes may be read on the debug LEDs located beside the LAN port on the  
serverboard backplane. See the description of the Debug LEDs (LED1 and LED2)  
in Chapter 5.
