Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 5018D-MF is a high-end server comprised of two main subsys- tems: the SC512F-350B 1U server chassis and the X10SLL-F single processor motherboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certifi...
ERVER 5018D-MF User's Manual Motherboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 5018D-MF lies the X10SLL-F, a single processor motherboard based on the Intel® C222 chipset. Below are the main features of the X10SLL-F (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
The SC512F-350B is a short depth (14.5") 1U rackmount server chassis. The fol- lowing is a general outline of the main features of the SC512F-350B chassis. System Power When confi gured as the SuperServer 5018D-MF, the SC512F-350B chassis features a single power supply. Serial ATA Subsystem The SC512F-350B chassis is designed to support one internal SATA hard drive.

Preparing for Setup The SuperServer 5018D-MF does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system can be rack mounted without the use of rails. An optional rack rail package is available if you wish to order from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time.
UPER ERVER 5018D-MF 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) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
Chapter 2: Server Installation • Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling. 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.
Note: the server may be installed as is - rack hardware is optional. Basic Installation Procedure The 5018D-MF server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing with Rackmount Kit This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit (MCP- 290-00004-03). You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

Figure 2-2. Installing Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails 1. Determine where you want to place the 5018D-MF in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). 2. Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.

Figure 2-4. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 5018D-MF 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.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specifi c com- ponents.
UPER ERVER 5018D-MF User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC512F-520B chassis has fi ve 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.
