Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 2028R-TXR lies the X10DRX processor serverboard based upon the Intel PCH C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the serverboard.
Each serverboard has 16 DIMM slots that can support up to 2TB ECC 3DS of Load Reduced (LRDIMM) registered memory or up to 512GB of registered (RDIMM) DDR4 ECC modules, 2400/2133/1866/1600 MHz. Note: Refer to Section 5-6 before installing memory and the Supermicro website for recommended DIMMs. Onboard SATA A SATA controller is integrated into the chipset for 10 SATA3 (6Gbps) ports that supports RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10.
Chapter 1: Introduction Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC213XAC-R1K05 server chassis. Hard Drives The SC213 chassis includes sixteen 2.5" hard drive bays and one 5.25'' drive bay. It can accommodate sixteen hot-swap drives. The drives can be hot-swappable if supported by the operating system.

For faster service, RMA authorizations may be requested online (http://www. supermicro.com/support/rma/). Whenever possible, repack the chassis in the original Supermicro carton, using the original packaging material. If these are no longer available, be sure to pack the chassis securely, using packaging material to surround the chassis so that it does not shift within the carton and become damaged during shipping.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation This chapter outlines the procedure to install your system into a rack. If your system is not already fully integrated with a drives, processors, or system memory refer to the relevant chapter for details on installing components. Unpacking the System You should inspect the box in which your server was shipped and note if it was damaged.
UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Warnings and Precautions Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the fl oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. • In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
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 2028R-TXR User's Manual Checking the Setup Open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the con- nections have been made. Removing the Chassis Cover 1. Remove the two screws on each side of the cover, which secure the cover to the chassis.

UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Releasing the Inner Rail Each inner rail has a locking latch. This latch prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing. To mount the rail onto the chassis, fi rst release the inner rail from the outer rails. Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails 1.
UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis Installing the Inner Rails 1. Identify the left and right inner rails. They are labeled. 2. Place the inner rail fi rmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2: Server Installation 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. 3.
UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to support the chassis during installation. Please follow safety recommendations printed on the rails. Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1.
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 • Status lights on the externally accessible hard drives • Status lights for the power supply visible from the back of the chassis Figure 3-1.
UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The chassis includes two push-buttons that control power to the system. Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.
Chapter 3: System Interface NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when fl ashing. Power Fail: Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be replaced.
UPER ERVER 2028R-TXR User's Manual Drive Carrier LEDs The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA drives. Each drive carrier displays two status LEDs on the front of the carrier. • Green: When illuminated, this LED indicates drive activity. It blinks on and off when that particular drive is being accessed This function is controlled by the backplane.
The following statements are industry standard warnings, provided to warn the user of situations which have the potential for bodily injury. Should you have questions or experience difficulty, contact Supermicro's Technical Support department for assistance. Only certifi ed technicians should attempt to install or confi gure components.
