Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6018R-TDW is a 1U server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC815TQ-600WB chassis and the X10DDW-i serverboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
ERVER 6018R-TDW User's Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 6018R-TDW lies the X10DDW-i, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the X10DDW-i. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Chapter 1: Introduction Hard Drive Subsystem The SC815TQ-600WB chassis was designed to support four hot-swap SATA hard drives. PCI Expansion Slots Two riser cards (RSC-R1UW-2E16-O-P and RSC-R1UW-E8R-O-P) on the left side of the chassis can support two PCI-E x16 and one PCI-E x8 expansion cards, respectively.

Precautions in the next section. Preparing for Setup The box the SuperServer 6018R-TDW 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.
UPER ERVER 6018R-TDW User's Manual • This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units. 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.
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).
UPER ERVER 6018R-TDW User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 6018R-TDW into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Outer Rails Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail.
UPER ERVER 6018R-TDW User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the 6018R-TDW into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the hard drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of specific components.
UPER ERVER 6018R-TDW User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC815TQ-600WB 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 action you may need to take.
Chapter 3: System Interface Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6018R-TDW, this light indicates HDD and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when flashing. Power Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
