Server Installation
2-1
Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 6025B-3
/6025B-3R 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 6025B-3/6025B-3R was shipped in and
note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should
file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer 6025B-
3/6025B-3R. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated.
You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and
Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3
Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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 acccord-
ing 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 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 hot plug SAS drives and power supply units to cool before touch-
ing 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 SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-3R
into a rack unit. If the 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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 follow-
ing is a guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack rails provided.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit
you are using.
Installing the Chassis Rails
You should have received four rack sections with the 6025B-3/6025B-3R consist-
ing of two long and two short rails sections. These secure directly to the chassis.
All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in
the hardware kit.
Position the chassis rail sections alongside of the chassis making sure the screw
holes line up - the long sections to the front of the chassis and the sorter ones to
the rear. Note that these rails are left/right specific. Screw the rails securely to the
chassis (see Figure 2-1). There should be two screws for each section. Repeat
this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need
to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: The 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 2-1. Installing Chassis Rails
Installing the Server into the Rack
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 2-2.
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.

Figure 2-2. Installing the Server into a Rack
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 6025B-3/6025B-3R in the rack, you will need to open the unit to
make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been
made.
1. Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-3)
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. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full
access to the inside of the server.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each
processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and
heatsink installation.
3. Check the system memory
Your 6025B-3/6025B-3R server system may have come with system memory al-
ready installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on
adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.
4. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install 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. Also make sure that no cables are positioned in front of the fans.
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 or
drives 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 DVD-ROM
and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SAS disk
drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing
the top chassis cover.
2. DVD-ROM and floppy disk drives
A slim DVD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to the
system.
3. Check the SAS drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or more
drives already installed. If you need to install SAS drives, please refer to Chapter
6.
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by three 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. The system compo-
nent layout was carefully designed to direct sufficient cooling airflow to the compo-
nents 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).

Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several 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
action you may need to take.
ꢀ
Power Fail: (6025B-3R only) Indicates a power supply module has failed.
The second power supply module will take the load and keep the system running
but the failed module will need to be replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on
replacing power modules. This LED should be off when the system is operating
normally.
ꢀ
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.

SAS Drive Carrier LEDs
Each SAS drive carrier has two LEDs.
ꢀ
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive car-
rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SAS 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 SAS drive fails, you should
be notified by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for
instructions on replacing failed SAS drives.
Note: the two drive bays on the top left of the 6025B-3/6025B-3R are not con-
nected to a backplane. These may be used to house IDE type hard drives only
and are not hot-swappable.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from
harm and the SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-3R 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. 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 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 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.

SUPERSERVER 6025B-3/6025B-3R User's Manual
ꢀServerboard 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.
ꢀ DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with
a DVD-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
Temperature 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 6025B-3/6025B-3R clean and free of clutter.
ꢀThe 6025B-3/6025B-3R weighs approximately 53/55 lbs (24.1/25 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. Don't use the handles (if installed) to lift the
chassis; the handles should only be used to pull the server out of the rack.
ꢀ 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

Chapter 4: System Safety
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 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 and heatsinks to
the X7DB3 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 chas-
sis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and
cool the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
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 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 sup-
port 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, avoid placing direct pressure on the label
area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard 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 remove it first before add-
ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install
the processor into the CPU socket before you install the heatsink and fan. The
X7DB3 can support Intel® quad-core Xeon® 5400/5300 Sequence processors or
dual-core Xeon 5000/5100 Sequence processors. If installing one processor only,
install it into CPU socket #1.
Notes:
1. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If
you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certified multi-direc-
tional heatsinks and fans.
2. When purchasing a Xeon CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU
pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU
pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

2. Place the heatsink on top of the CPU
so that the four mounting holes are
aligned with those on the (preinstalled)
heatsink retention mechanism.
3. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e.
the #1 and the #2 screws) until just
snug. Do not fully tighten the screws
or you may damage the CPU.)
4. Add the two remaining screws then
finish the installation by fully tightening
all four screws.
Removing the Heatsink
Warning! We do not recommend that the CPU or the heatsink be
removed. However, if you do need to uninstall the heatsink, please
follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the CPU or the
CPU socket.
!
1. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws from the serverboard in the sequence
as show in the picture above.
2. Hold the heatsink and gently wriggle the heatsink to loosen it from the CPU. (Do
not use excessive force when wriggling the heatsink!!)
3. Once the heatsink is loose, remove it from the CPU socket.
4. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease on the surface before you
re-install the heatsink.

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 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 serverboard connector
locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this
chapter for connector locations.
ꢀ DVD-ROM drive cable (IDE#1)
ꢀ Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
ꢀ SAS cables (SAS0-3, SAS4-7)
ꢀ USB cable (JUSB2)
ꢀ COM port cable (COM2)
Connecting Power Cables
The X7DB3 has a 24-pin primary power supply connector designated "JPW1" for
connection to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the
power supply to JPW1 to supply power to the serverboard. 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 ATX Power
connection at JPW2 and the 8-pin Processor Power connector at JPW3.

Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure
5-1 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED 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 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.

5-5 Installing Memory
Note: Check the Supermicro web site for recommended memory modules.
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 (See Figure 5-5)
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with
DIMM#1A and DIMM#2A and so on. The memory scheme is interleaved so you
must install two modules at a time, See the memory installation table on the next
page for the correct order in populating the DIMM slots.
2. Insert each DIMM module vertically into its slot. Pay attention to the notch along
the bottom of the module to prevent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly.
3. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat for all modules (see step 1 above).

5-6 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI Expansion Slots
The X7DB3 has six PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-Express slots,
one x4 PCI-Express slot, two PCI-X 133 MHz slots and one PCI-X 100 MHz slot.
The SC825TQ-560LP/SC825TQ-R700LP chassis can accommodate up to seven
low-profile PCI expansion cards. PCI cards are installed directly to the serverboard
(riser cards are not needed).
2. PCI Card Installation
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into a slot that supports
the speed of the card (see step 1, above). Begin by removing the screw that se-
cures the PCI slot shield to the chassis. Insert the expansion card into the correct
slot on the serverboard, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the
card. Finish by securing it to the IO backplane with the screw you removed from
the shield. Follow this procedure when adding a card to other slots.

Chapter 6
Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-
nance on the SC825TQ-560LP/SC825TQ-R700LP chassis. For component instal-
lation, follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems
encountered. If some steps are 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 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 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 serverboard.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications. A
ribbon cable has bundled these wires together to simplify the connection. Connect
the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to JP4 on the Control Panel PCB (printed
circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into pin 1 on both JF1 and JP4. 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
Three 8-cm fans provide all the cooling needed for the SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-
3R. It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making
a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and
cool the components. See Figure 6-2.
System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the
control panel will flash. 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 in Chapter 2) while the system is still running
to determine which of the fans has failed.
The hot-plug fan will start to function upon connection to its fan header on the
serverboard.
Replacing System Fans
1. Removing a fan
Remove the chassis cover. Press the tabs on the top of the fan housing and remove
the fan in its housing (see Figure 6-2). System power does not need to be shut
down since the fans are all hot-pluggable.
2. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (available from Supermicro,
p/n FAN-0070). Position the new fan at its proper place in the chassis by fitting the
fan with its housing onto the fan mounts in the chassis. A "click" can be heard if
the fan (in its housing) is properly installed. If the system power is on, the hot-plug
feature will cause the fan to start immediately upon being connected to its header
on the serverboard.

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

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SAS drives
The SAS 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 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 SAS drives.

Important: All of the SAS drive carriers must remain in the drive
!
bays to maintain proper cooling airflow.
Hard Drive Backplane
The SAS drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. 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 SAS drives.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
Installing Components in the 3.5" Drive Bays
Two 3.5" drive bays are located in the front of the chassis. Drives installed here are
not connected to the SAS backplane and are not hot-swappable, meaning system
power must be turned off before installing and/or removing them.
To remove the drive carrier, first power down the system and then remove the top
cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive,
then push the drive carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out
through the front of the chassis. Attach the component to the carrier if installing.
Then reverse the drive carrier removal procedure to install the drive, making sure
you screw in the retention screw. Replace the top cover when finished.
DVD-ROM Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM
drive bay. The 6025B-3/6025B-3R accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives.
Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the
6025B-3/6025B-3R server.
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 access to the inside
of the server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a
DVD-ROM drive.
Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed
in their bays. A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.

6-5 Power Supply
6025B-3
The SuperServer 6025B-3 has a single 560 watt power supply, which is auto-
switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100v
- 240v input voltage.
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 the power supply module in the 6025B-3
is not cold-swappable, you will need to remove the chassis cover and disconnect
all power cables from the power supply unit before removing and replacing the
power supply.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
1. Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the power supply module. Remove the cover
from the chassis and disconnect all power cables from the motherboard and any
components. Then remove the screws that secure the power module to the chas-
sis. Finally, pull the module straight out by the handle.
2. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed power supply with an identical power supply module (p/n PWS-
561-1H). Reconnect all power cables from the power supply to the motherboard and
components. Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the AC power cord. Finish
by depressing the power button on the chassis front control panel to restart the
system. has a single 550 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6025B-3R
The SuperServer 6025B-3R has a 700 watt redundant power supply consisting of
two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability,
which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input volt-
age.
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 PWR
Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Re-
placement units can be ordered directly from Supermicro (see contact information
in the Preface). The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you
can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The
backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace
the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model (see part number in the
Appendix), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.
1. Removing the power supply
First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. Then depress
the locking tab on the power supply module and use the handle to pull it straight
out with the rounded handle.
2. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit (p/n

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X7DB3. 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 the BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.
System BIOS
The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and
PS/2® compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters,
types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires
very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery pro-
vides power to the CMOS Logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time
the computer is powered on the computer is configured with the values stored in
the CMOS Logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the
<Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As
the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the
BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens,
such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 7-3, detailed de-
scriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.
Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS to
prevent possible boot failure.

System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used
System CMOS has been corrupted or modified incorrectly, perhaps by an application
program that changes data stored in CMOS. The BIOS installed Default Setup Values.
If you do not want these values, enter Setup and enter your own values. If the error
persists, check the system battery or contact your dealer.

Previous boot incomplete - Default configuration used
Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers
to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected,
the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup
settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup
and verify that the waitstate configuration is correct. This error is cleared the next
time the system is booted.
Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS
Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.

This section lists the POST (Power On Self Test) codes for the PhoenixBIOS. 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

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.

Assigning Array Properties
Once you've create a new array, you are ready to assign the properties to the
array.
Caution: Once the array is created and its properties are assigned, you cannot
change the array properties using the ACU. You will need to use the Adaptec Stor-
age Manager - Browser Edition. (Refer to Adaptec's User's Guide in the enclosed
CD.)
To assign properties to the new array:
1. In the Array Properties menu, select an array type and press Enter. Note that
only the available array types: RAID 0, and RAID1, are displayed on the screen.
(RAID 0 or RAID 1 requires two drives.)
2. Under the item "Arrays Label", type in an label and press Enter. The label shall
not be more than 15 characters.
3. For RAID 0, select the desired stripe size. Available stripe sizes are 16, 32, and
64 KB-default. It is recommended that you do not change the default setting.)
4. The item: "Create RAID via" allows you to select between the different creating
methods for RAID 0 and RAID 1.
The following table gives examples of when each is appropriate.

Note: If you select Migrate for RAID 0, or Build for RAID 1, you will be asked to
select the source drive. The contents of the source drive will be preserved. However,
the data on the new drive will be lost.
5. When you are finished, press Done.
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 miscompares if
you later run a consistency check. This is normal and is not a cause for concern.

Appendix C: RAID and Software Installation
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 a 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.

will make all other existing bootable array non-bootable. Do you want to make this
array bootable? (Yes/No):" Then, a bootable array will be created. An asterisk will
appear next to the bootable array.
Deleting a Bootable Array
To delete a bootable array:
1. From the Main menu, select Manage Arrays.
2. From the List of Arrays, select the bootable array (*) you want to delete, and
press Ctrl+B. (* a bootable array is the array marked with an asterisk.)
3. Enter Y to delete a bootable array when the following message is displayed:
"The array is already marked bootable. Do you want to make this array as not
bootable? (Yes/No):" Then, the bootable array will be deleted and the asterisk will

Initializing Disk Drives
If an installed disk does not appear in the disk selection list for creating a new ar-
ray, 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:
1. Turn on your computer and press Ctrl+A when prompted to access the ARC
utility.
2. From the ARC menu, select Array Configuration Utility (ACU).
3. Select Initialize Drives.
4. Use the up and down arrow keys to highlight the disk you wish to initialize and
press Insert.
5. Repeat Step 4 so that both drives to be initialized are selected.
6. Press Enter.
7. Read the warning message displayed in the screen.
8. Make sure that you have selected the correct disk drives to initialize. If correct,
type Y to continue.
Rebuilding Arrays
Notes: Rebuilding applies to Fault Tolerant array (RAID 1) only. If an array Build
process (or initialization) is interrupted or critical with one member missing, you must
perform a Rebuild to get the array to Optimal status. For a critical array Rebuild
operation, the optimal drive is the source drive.
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.
