maintenance.
The SC732 features two removable side covers, allowing easy access to the chas-
sis interior.
Removing the Side Covers
1. Disconnect the chassis from any power souce.
2. Remove the two screws securing the left side cover to the chassis.
3. Slide the left cover toward the rear of the chassis.
4. Lift the left cover from the chassis.
5. Remove the three screws securing the right side cover to the chassis.
6. Slide the right cover toward the rear of the chassis
7. Lift the right cover from the chassis.
8. Check the airflow: Cooling air is provided by the chassis fan and the power
supply fan. The system component layout was carefully designed to promote
sufficient airflow throughout the chassis. 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 fan. Please keep this in mind when rerouting or adding/
removing cables.
9. Supplying power to the system: The last thing you must do is to provide input
power to the system. Plug the power cord from the power supply unit into a
high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power
surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS).
Warning: Except for short periods of time, do NOT operate the system
without the cover in place. The chassis cover must be in place to allow
!
proper airflow and prevent overheating.

HDD
This LED indicates IDE channel activity, SATA drive and/or DVD-ROM drive activity
when flashing.
NIC
Indicates network activity on a Gigabit LAN port when flashing.
Overheat/Fan Fail
When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously (on and
not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables
obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too
warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and
operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers
are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter
5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as the overheat condition exists.

System Safety
4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
Note: power should always be disconnected before performing any service
on the system.
!
Basic electrical safety precautions shall be followed to protect yourself from harm
and the SuperServer 5037C-T from damage:
•
Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well
as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from
the system.
•
•
Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or in-
stalling main system components, such as the serverboard, 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 neces-
sary.
Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use
extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical
components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
•
•
Do not use mats designed to decrease static electrical discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
The power supply power cords must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).
This battery must be replaced only with the same (CR2032) 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 uncon-
ventional way.
Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive Tempera-
ture Coefficient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service
technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one
replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
•
•
Keep the area around the SuperServer 5037C-T clean and free of clutter.
The SuperServer 5037C-T weighs approximately 24 lbs. (10.9 kg) when fully

•
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.

5-3 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 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.
•
•
•
•
DVD-ROM Drive cable (SATA0)
Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
SATA cables (SATA1 ~ SATA5)
SGPIO cable (T-SGPIO1 to SATA backplane)
Connecting Power Cables
The X9SCA 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 motherboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connector at JPW2.
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 indica-
tors. Please note that even and odd numbered pins are on opposite sides of each
header.

Chapter 5: Advanced Motherboard Setup
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their con-
nection. Connect one end of this cable to JF1 and the other end 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.
Installing DIMMs
1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, starting with slots
DIMM1A. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to pre-
vent inserting the DIMM module incorrectly. See Figure 5-5.
2. Gently press down on the DIMM module until it snaps into place in the slot.
Repeat fstep 1 to install to DIMM1B if needed.
Memory Support
The X9SCA supports up to 32GB of ECC unbuffered (UDIMM) DDR3-1333/1066
memory in four memory slots. Populating these slots with a pair of memory mod-
ules of the same type and same size will result in interleaved memory, which will
improve memory performance. Please refer to the table below:.

Notes: Due to memory allocation to system devices, the amount of memory that
remains available for operational use will be reduced when 4 GB of RAM is used.
The reduction in memory availability is disproportional.
For Microsoft Windows users: Microsoft implemented a design change in the Win-
dows XP with Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Windows Vista. This change is specific
to the behavior of Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode which improves driver
compatibility. For more information, please read the following article at Microsoft’s

Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the mother-
board, jumpers can be used to choose
between optional settings. Jumpers cre-
ate 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.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Static electrical discharge 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
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.
•
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. When unpacking the board,
make sure the person handling it is static protected.

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup Utility for the X9SCi-LN4/X9SCi-LN4F/
X9SCA/X9SCA-F. (Some settings may not appear on the X9SCA motherboard.) The
AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This
chapter describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS Setup Utility setup screens.
Note: For instructions on BIOS recovery, please refer to the instruction guide posted
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup screen.
There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be configured. Grayed-out options cannot be configured. Options in blue can be
configured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it. (Note:
the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains the option to
include, omit, or change any of these text messages.)
The AMI BIOS Setup Utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys".
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, ar-
row keys, etc.
Note: Options printed in Bold are default settings.
How To Change the Configuration Data
The configuration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.

SUPERSERVER 5037C-T User's Manual
How to Start the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS Setup Utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identification string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen, below the copyright message.
Warning! Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related
issue. Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the
system. In no event shall Supermicro be liable for direct, indirect, special,
incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS update. If you
have to update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the
BIOS is updating. This is to avoid possible boot failure.
7-2 Main Setup
When you first enter the AMI BIOS Setup Utility, you will enter the Main setup screen.
You can always return to the Main setup screen by selecting the Main tab on the
top of the screen. The Main BIOS Setup screen is shown below.

This feature displays the CPU temperature detected by DTS (i.e., +34oC) or tem-
perature status in text ("Low", "Medium" or "High"). The options are Text Mode
or DTS.
If Text Mode is selected, the CPU Temperature Display Mode will show the CPU
temperature status as follows:
Low – This level is considered as the ‘normal’ operating state. The CPU
temperature is well below the CPU ‘Temperature Tolerance’. The mother-
board fans and CPU will run normally as configured in the BIOS (Fan Speed
Control).
User intervention: No action required.
Medium – The processor is running warmer. This is a ‘precautionary’ level
and generally means that there may be factors contributing to this condition,
but the CPU is still within its normal operating state and below the CPU
‘Temperature Tolerance’. The motherboard fans and CPU will run normally
as configured in the BIOS. The fans may adjust to a faster speed depending
on the Fan Speed Control settings.
User intervention: No action is required. However, consider checking the CPU
fans and the chassis ventilation for blockage.
High – The processor is running hot. This is a ‘caution’ level since the CPU’s
‘Temperature Tolerance’ has been reached (or has been exceeded) and may
activate an overheat alarm:

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
with bootup. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue to bootup. If a fatal error oc-
curs, 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 correspond to the number of beeps for the
corresponding error.
