Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR is a high-end server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC827HD+-R1K68B 2U server chassis and the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF dual processor serverboard in two hot-swap nodes. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certified for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
Processors The X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF supports single or dual Intel® Xeon® E5-2600 v3 series processors (Socket R LGA 2011). Please refer to the serverboard description pages on our web site for a complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro. com). Memory The X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF has sixteen DIMM slots supporting up to 1024 GB of LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) or 512 GB of RDIMM (Registered DIMM) DDR4-2133/1866/1600 MHz registered ECC memory.
USB headers are included on the serverboard), an IPMI dedicated LAN port and two Ethernet ports. Note: For IPMI Configuration Instructions, please refer to the Embedded BMC Configuration User's Guide available at http://www.supermicro.com/support/ manuals/. Graphics Controller The X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF features an integrated ASpeed 2400 BMC with an integrated VGA/2D graphics controller.
SUPERSERVER 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR User's Manual Front Control Panel The system includes two front control panels on the handles of the chassis. Each control panel provides system monitoring and control for one server node. LEDs indicate network activity, system overheat and power supply failure.

See the previous pages for the actual specifications of your serverboard. This block diagram is intended for your reference only.
Chapter 1: Introduction 2U Twin: System Notes As a 2U Twin configuration, the SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR is a unique server system. With two system boards incorporated into a single chassis acting as two separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
Chapter 2: Rack Installation 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 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR 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 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).
SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Chapter 2: Rack 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, first release the inner rail from the outer rails. Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails 1.
SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR 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 firmly against the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks on the side of the chassis with the holes in the inner rail.
Chapter 2: Rack 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.
SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR 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 chassis includes: • Control panels on the front that include power buttons and status monitoring lights • Status lights on externally accessible hard drives • Status lights for the power supply There are two control panels located on the front, outside edges.
SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR User's Manual Control Panel Buttons Each control panel includes two push-buttons. 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.
Overheat Temperature Setting Some backplanes allow the overheat temperature to be set at 45, 50, or 55 degrees by changing a jumper setting. For more information, consult the backplane user manual on the Supermicro website. Responses If the server overheats 1.
SuperServer 6028TP-DNCR/DNCTR/DNCFR 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 appendix in its entirety before installing or configuring components in the Supermicro chassis. These warnings may also be found on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/ about/policies/safety_information.cfm. Warning Definition Warning! This warning symbol means danger.
