Chapter 2: Server Installation Chapter 2 Server Installation 2.1 Overview This chapter provides advice and instructions for mounting your system in a server rack. If your system is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory etc., refer to Chapter 4 for details on installing those specific components.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual • Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from the rack. • You should extend only one server or component at a time - extending two or more simul- taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Circuit Overloading Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual 2.3 Installing the Rails 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 Installing the Rails on a Rack 1. Loosen the adjusting screw to allow the rear section to slide in the front section. 2. Push the small hooks on the front section of the rail into the holes on the front post of the rack and then down, until the spring-loaded pegs snap into the rack holes.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Chassis Installation Slide the chassis into the rack so that the bottom of the chassis slides onto the bottom lip of the rails. Figure 2-3. Sliding the Chassis into the Rack Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Chapter 3 Maintenance and Component Installation This chapter provides instructions on installing and replacing main system components. To prevent compatibility issues, only use components that match the specifications and/or part numbers given. Installation or replacement of most components require that power first be removed from the system.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual 3.2 Accessing the System Removing a Computing Node Drawer Latch Lever Latch Lever Latch Lever Latch Lever Figure 3-1. Removing a Node Tray Removing a Node 1. Use the operating system to power down the node.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Removing the Chassis Cover You can access some chassis components, such as fans, by removing the cover. Removing the Chassis Cover 1. Remove the four screws securing the cover to the chassis. 2. Slide the cover toward the rear of the chassis. 3.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual 3.3 Static-Sensitive Devices Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to your motherboard, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent; otherwise, contact your retailer immediately. • Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on CPU support. Installing the Processor and Heatsink 1. Unscrew the screw #1 holding down the force frame.
Page 28
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual 2. The spring-loaded force frame will raise up after the screw securing it (#1) is removed. Gently allow it to lift up to its stopping position. Force Frame 3. Lift the rail frame up by gripping the lift tabs near the front end of the rail frame. While keeping a secure grip of the rail frame, lift it to a position so you can do the next step of removing the external cap.
Page 29
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 4. Remove the external cap from the rail frame by pulling it upwards through the rail guides on the rail frame. External Cap 5. The CPU package is shipped from the factory with the carrier frame pre-assembled. Grip the handle of the carrier frame/CPU package assembly from its shipping tray, and while gripping the handle, align the flanges of the carrier frame onto the rails of the rail frame so its pins will be at the bottom when the rail frame is lowered later.
Page 30
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Note: You can only install the CPU inside the socket in one direction with the handle at the top. Make sure that it is properly inserted into the CPU socket before closing the rail frame plate.
Page 31
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 8. Gently lower the rail frame down onto the socket until the latches on the rail frame engage with the socket housing and it rests in place. DO NOT force it into place! 9. The force frame is spring loaded and has to be held in place before it is secured. Use a torque screwdriver, set it at 12.5~15.0 kgf-cm (10.85~13.01 lbf-in) with a Torx T20 screw head bit, to prevent damage to the CPU.
Page 32
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual 10. Replace and tighten the screws in the same order you removed them. When finished, the force frame will be secure over both the rail frame and CPU package. 11. After the force frame is secured and the CPU package is in place, now you must install the heatsink to the frame.
Page 33
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 12. Using a diagonal pattern, tighten the six screws down on the heatsink in a clockwise fashion till it is secure. The heatsink will now be secured and you have finished installing the processor and heatsink onto the motherboard. Repeat this procedure for any remaining CPU sockets on the motherboard.
Page 34
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Removing the Processor and Heatsink 1. Remove the heatsink attached to the top of the CPU package by reversing the installation procedure. 2. Clean the thermal grease left by the heatsink on the CPU package lid to limit the risk of it contaminating the CPU package land pads or contacts in the socket housing.
The H13SST-G supports up to 3TB of ECC DDR5 4800 MT/s speed, RDIMM/LRDIMM/3DS memory in 12 slots. Refer to the table below for additional memory information. Note: Check the Supermicro website for possible updates to memory support. DIMM Population Guide Channel CPU1 &...
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual DIMM Module Population Sequence • It is recommended that DDR5 DIMM modules of the same type, size and speed should be installed. • The motherboard will support odd-numbered modules (1 or 3 modules installed). However, to achieve the best memory performance, fully populate the motherboard with validated memory modules.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation DIMM Installation 1. Insert the desired number of DIMMs into the memory slots, there is no specific sequence or order required. 2. Push the release tabs outwards on both ends of the DIMM slot to unlock it. Receptive Point 3.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Motherboard Battery The motherboard uses non-volatile memory to retain system information when system power is removed.

A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Drive Configuration The CSE-GT214BF-R2K21BP2 chassis contains four separate computing node drawers, each with its own motherboard. Each node controls a set of four drives (optional storage kit required). If a node drawer is pulled out of the chassis, the drives associated with that node will power down.
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation Removing/Installing Drives Removing a Drive Carrier from the Chassis 1. Press the release button on the drive carrier. This extends the drive carrier handle. 2. Use the handle to pull the carrier out of the chassis. Caution: Except for short periods of time (swapping drives), do not operate the server with the drive carriers removed from the bays, regardless of how many drives are installed, for proper airflow.
Page 42
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Installing a 2.5" Hard Drive 1. Place the hard drive carrier on a flat surface. 2. Remove the dummy drive, which comes pre-installed in the drive carrier, by removing the two locking tabs securing the dummy drive to the carrier.
Page 43
Chapter 3: Maintenance and Component Installation 7. Insert the drive carrier into the chassis drive bay, keeping the carrier oriented so that the hard drive is on the top of the carrier and the release button is on the right side. When the carrier reaches the back of the drive bay, the release handle will retract.
A+ Server AS -2115GT-HNTF User's Manual Hot-Swap for NVMe Drives Supermicro servers support NVMe surprise hot-swap. For even better data security, NVMe orderly hot-swap is recommended. NVMe drives can be ejected and replaced remotely using BMC. Ejecting a Drive 1. BMC > System > Storage Monitoring > Physical View 2.
