Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6018TR-T/TF is a high-end server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC808BTS-1K03BP 2U server chassis and the X10DRT-L/LIBF dual processor serverboard in four hot-swap nodes. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certifi ed for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
RAID function of the SATA drives. Note: S-SATA2/S-SATA3: can be used as Supermicro SuperDOM (Disk-on-Module) with built-in power connectors. PCI Expansion Slots The SuperServer 6018TR-T/TF has for each node One (1) PCI-Express 3.0 x16 slot available for use with a riser card.
IO back panel. Note: For IPMI Confi guration Instructions, please refer to the Embedded BMC Configuration User's Guide available @ http://www.supermicro.com/support/ manuals/. Graphics Controller The X10DRT-L/LIBF features an integrated ASpeed 2400 BMC Video Controller.
SUPERSERVER 6018TR-T/TF User's Manual SATA Subsystem The SC808 supports up to four (4) 3.5" hot-swap SATA drives in trays (two for each node). These drives are hot-swappable units and are connected to a backplane that provides power and control. Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot- swap capability of the drives.
Chapter 1: Introduction Mounting Rails The SC808 includes a set of rails, and can be placed in a rack for secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions included in this manual. Advanced Power Management Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM) The Intel®...

SATA Backplane/Drives As a system, the SuperServer 6018TR-T/TF supports the use of four SATA drives. A single SATA backplane works to apply system-based control for power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects a set of two SATA drives to each serverboard.
Unpacking the System You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6018TR-T/TF was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should fi le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Each processor needs its own heat sink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heat sink installation. 2. Your SuperServer 6018TR-T/TF server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots.
Chapter 3: System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SC808 models include four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the systems. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate response you may need to take.
SUPERSERVER 6018TR-T/TF User's Manual Control Panel Button There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button. Reset: The reset button is used to reboot the system.
