Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6018R-MD/MDR is a 1U server comprised of two main subsys- tems: the SC514-505/R400C chassis and the X10DRD-L serverboard. Please refer to our website for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR User's Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 6018R-MD/MDR lies the X10DRD-L, a dual proces- sor serverboard based on Intel's C612 chipset. Below are the main features of the X10DRD-L (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Chapter 1: Introduction Server Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC514-505/R400C chassis. System Power The SC514-505 chassis (used for the 6018R-MD) features a single 500W power supply. Power must be removed from the system when removing the power supply. The SC514-R400C chassis (used for the 6018R-MDR) features a redundant 400W power supply.

Chapter 2: Rack Installation Chapter 2 Rack Installation This chapter provides instructions for mounting your chassis in a rack. Preparing for Setup The box in which your system was shipped should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack.
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR 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 installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation 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).
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR 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 differs slightly.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation Assembling the Outer Rails Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack. Assembling the Outer Rails 1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR User's Manual Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails Installing the Chassis into a Rack 1. Align the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. 2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides.
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR User's Manual Installing the Server into a Two Post Rack Optional brackets (p/n MCP-290-00016-0N) are needed to install the server to a two post (telco type) rack. Use the two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total).
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are two buttons and 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 specific components.
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The chassis includes two push-buttons. Reset Use the reset button to reboot the system. Power The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the power supply to the server. Turning off system power with this button removes the main power but maintains standby power.
Chapter 3: System Interface NIC2 Indicates network activity on GLAN2 when flashing. NIC1 Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. Indicates IDE channel activity on the hard drive when flashing. Power Indicates power is being supplied to the system power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
UPER ERVER 6018R-MD/MDR User's Manual 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.
