Page 11: Chapter 1: Introduction
Overview The Supermicro SuperServer 6014H-T is a high-end dual processor, 1U rackmount server featuring some of the most advanced technology currently available. The SuperServer 6014H-T is comprised of two main subsystems: the SC813T-500 1U rackmount chassis and the X6DHR-TG Xeon dual processor serverboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certiﬁ...
Page 12: Serverboard Features
ERVER 6014H-T Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 6014H-T lies the X6DHR-TG a dual Xeon pro- cessor serverboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the main features of the X6DHR-TG. See Figure 1-1 for a system block diagram of the chipset.
Page 13: Ati Graphics Controller
ATI Graphics Controller An ATI video controller based on the Rage XL 8 MB graphics chip is integrated onboard the X6DHR-TG. Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing and AGP texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a bandwidth of up to 512 MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.
Page 14: Server Chassis Features
The SC813T-500 chassis includes a single 500W cold-swap power supply. Serial ATA Subsystem For the 6014H-T, the SC813T-500 chassis was designed to support four Serial ATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units. Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot- swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.

Page 19: Rack Mounting Considerations
Chapter 2: Server Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tem- perature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip- ment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
Page 20: Installing The System Into A Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6014H-T into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6014H-T has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
Page 21: Installing The Chassis Rails
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached - one to each side of the chassis. Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided. Chassis Rail 2 should be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2).
Page 22: Installing The Server Into The Rack
UPER ERVER 6014H-T 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.
Page 23: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the SuperServer 6014H-T into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack.
Page 24: Checking The Serverboard Setup
ERVER 6014H-T Manual Checking the Serverboard Setup After you install the 6014H-T in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. 1. Accessing the inside of the 6014H-T (see Figure 2-5) First, release the retention screws that secure the unit to the rack.

Page 27: Chapter 3: System Interface
System Interface Overview There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the Serial ATA drive carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the activity and health of speciﬁ c components. There are also two but- tons on the chassis control panel and an on/off switch on the power supply.
Page 28: Control Panel Leds
UPER ERVER 6014H-T User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of th SC813T-500 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.
Page 29: Hdd
HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the SuperServer 6014H-T this light indicates SATA and/or CD-ROM drive activity when ﬂ ashing. Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

Page 31: Chapter 4: System Safety
Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6014H-T from damage: Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet.
Page 32: General Safety Precautions
General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: Keep the area around the SuperServer 6014H-T clean and free of clutter. The SuperServer 6014H-T weighs approximately 38 lbs (17.3 kg) when fully loaded. When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight.
Page 33: Esd Precautions
ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Page 34: Operating Precautions
ERVER 6014H-T Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 6014H-T is operating to ensure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the 6014H-T system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed.
