Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) is a GPU/Xeon Phi optimized server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC418GTS-R3200B/R4000B 4U server chassis and the X10DRG-O(T)+ motherboard, augmented by a daughter board for PCIe expansion capabilities. The models and features are:...
SUPERSERVER 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual Motherboard Features At the heart of the server is the X10DRG-O(T)+-CPU, a dual processor motherboard based on the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram) Processors The X10DRG-O(T)+-CPU supports dual Intel E5-2600 v3/v4 series processors in LGA 2011 sockets (Socket R3).
Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0 is a hardware-level interface specification that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro servers. IPMI enables administrators to view a server hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.
Chapter 1: Introduction GPU Subsystem The 4028GR-TR(T)(2) server represents one of Supermicro's massively parallel processing multiple GPU/Xeon Phi servers, with support for up to eight GPUs/ Xeon Phis. NVIDIA Tesla GPUs place this system at the forefront of today's GPU computing solutions.
Chapter 2: Rack Intallation Chapter 2 Rack Installation This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack. Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way.
SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual 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 installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
Chapter 2: Rack Intallation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature 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 temperature (TMRA).
SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual Procedure for Rack Mounting This section provides information on installing a 4U chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly. Also refer to the installation instructions for your rack unit.
Chapter 2: Rack Intallation Figure 2-2. Installing the Inner Rails Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right side inner rails. Place the correct inner rail on the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks of the chassis with the inner rail holes. Make sure the rail faces "outward"...
SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Installing the Outer Rails 1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail. 2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
Chapter 2: Rack Intallation Figure 2-4. Installing the Chassis into a Rack Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks in the lower positions first. Installing the Chassis into a Rack Installing the Chassis into a Rack: 1.
SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual Removing the Chassis from the Rack Caution! It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when removing it from the rack. Use a lift.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview The server includes a control panel on the front that houses power buttons and status monitoring lights. The externally accessible hard drives display status lights. The power supply displays status lights visible from the back of the chassis. Figure 3-1.
SuperServer 4028GR-TR(T)(2) User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The chassis includes two push-buttons that control power to the system. Power The main power switch applies or removes primary power from the power supply to the server but maintains standby power. To perform most maintenance tasks, unplug the system to remove all power.
Chapter 3: System Interface NIC2 Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. NIC1 Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. Information LED Alerts operator to several states, as noted in the table below. Information LED Status Description An overheat condition has occured. Continuously on and red (This may be caused by cable congestion.) Blinking red (1Hz)
Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 by changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual at www.supermicro.com. (Click Support, then the Manuals link.) Responses If the server overheats: 1.
Chapter 3: System Interface Power Supply LEDs On the rear of the power supply module, an LED displays the status. • Solid Green: When illuminated, indicates that the power supply is on. • Solid Amber: When illuminated, indicates the power supply is plugged in and turned off, or the system is off but in an abnormal state.
Only certified technicians should attempt to install or configure components. Read this chapter in its entirety before installing or configuring components in the Supermicro chassis. Some warnings may not apply for your system. These warnings may also be found on our web site at www.supermicro.com/about/ policies/safety_information.cfm.
