Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6017R-MTLF is comprised of two main subsystems: the SC- 813MFTQ-441CB 1U chassis and the X9DRL-EF serverboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certifi ed for use with the SuperServer 6017R-MTLF (www.supermicro.com).
ERVER 6017R-MTLF User's Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 6017R-MTLF lies the X9DRL-EF, a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel® PCH C602J chipset. Below are the main features of the X9DRL-EF. See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset.
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MFTQ-441CB chassis. System Power When confi gured as a SuperServer 6017R-MTLF, the SC813MFTQ-441CB chassis includes a single 440W-480W power supply. SATA Subsystem The SC813MFTQ-441CB chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.

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).
ERVER 6017R-MTLF User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6017R-MTLF into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
Figure 2-1. Installing Rear Inner Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6017R-MTLF in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-4). Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
UPER ERVER 6017R-MTLF User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the SuperServer 6017R-MTLF into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back.

UPER ERVER 6017R-MTLF User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC813MFTQ-441CB chassis has fi ve LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.
Chapter 3: System Interface Power Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating. SATA Drive Carrier LEDs Each drive carrier has two LEDs. • Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates drive activity.
