Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 1028R-WMR(T) is a 1U server comprised of two main subsystems: the SC514-R400W 1U server chassis and the X10DRW-E(T) serverboard. The 1028R-WMRT model, with the X10DRW-ET serverboard, offers 10 Gb Ethernet capabilities. Refer to our web site to learn which operating systems have been certified for use with this system (www.supermicro.com).
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) User's Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the 1028R-WMR(T) SuperServer is the X10DRW-E(T), a dual processor serverboard based on the Intel C612 Express chipset. Below are the main features of the system (See Figure 1-1 for a chipset block diagram).
Chapter 1: Introduction IPMI IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is a hardware-level interface specification that provides remote access, monitoring and administration for Supermicro server platforms. IPMI allows server administrators to view a server’s hardware status remotely, receive an alarm automatically if a failure occurs, and power cycle a system that is non-responsive.
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) User's Manual Server Chassis Features The 1028R-WMR(T) is built upon the SC514-R400W chassis. The following are the main features of the chassis. System Power The SC514-R400W chassis features a redundant 400 W power supply consisting of two power modules. Either module can be removed and replaced without powering down the system.

Chapter 2: Installation in a Rack Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack 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.
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) 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 Installation in a Rack 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).
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) 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. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack 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.
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) 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 Installation in a Rack 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.
SUPERSERVER 1028R-WMR(T) 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). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack.
Chapter 3 System Interface Chapter 3 System Interface Overview The chassis includes: • A control panel on the front that includes power buttons and status monitoring lights • Status lights on externally accessible hard drives • Status lights for the power supply Figure 3-1.
SUPERSERVER 1018GR-T User's Manual Control Panel Buttons The chassis includes two push-buttons. Reset: The reset button is used 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 NIC1: Indicates network activity on GLAN1 when flashing. HDD: 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. Overheating There are several possible responses if the system overheats.
SUPERSERVER 1018GR-T User's Manual Drive Carrier LEDs The chassis includes externally accessible SAS/SATA drives. Each drive carrier displays two status LEDs on the front of the carrier. • Green: When illuminated, this LED indicates drive activity. It blinks on and off when that particular drive is being accessed This function is controlled by the backplane.
