Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Fan Confi guration In the 2U Twin , each node (serverboard) controls the two fans that reside on its side of the chassis. This means that two nodes will share control for two fans. If the fan speed settings in BIOS are different for these two nodes, the BIOS setting with the higher fan speed will apply.
SUPERSERVER 6026TT-HT(R)F/HIBX(R)F/HIBQ(R)F USER'S MANUAL Hard Drive Installation/Removal Overview The hard drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the system. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.
Page 85
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Mounting a Hard Drive in a Carrier 1. Install the drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. 2. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4. 3.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Node Installation/Removal As with any server system, power must be removed from the serverboard when upgrading or installing memory or processors. In the 2U Twin server, the serverboards (nodes) are capable of being hot-swapped from the chassis, allowing one to be powered down for servicing while the others continue operating.

Power Supply Failure: Single Power Supply Module 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 there is only one power supply module in the system, power must be completely removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply for whatever reason.
LED on the control panel will fl ash slowly (about 4 seconds on and 4 off) and remain fl ashing until the failed unit has been replaced. Replacement 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.

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".
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.
