Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The SuperServer 6017R-TDF is a high-end server comprised of two main subsys- tems: the SC813TS-441CBP 1U chassis and the X9DRD-iF serverboard. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that have been certifi ed for use with the system (www.supermicro.com).
ERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual Serverboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 6017R-TDF lies the X9DRD-iF, a dual processor serverboard based on Intel's C600 chipset. Below are the main features of the X9DRD-iF (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Chapter 1: Introduction Server Chassis Features The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813TS-441CBP chassis. System Power The SC813TS-441CBP chassis includes a single 440-480W power supply. Power must be removed from the system when removing the power supply. See Chapter 6 for details.

Precautions in the next section. Preparing for Setup The box the SuperServer 6017R-TDF was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, six rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal amount of time.
UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual Choosing a Setup Location • Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for suffi cient airfl ow and ease in servicing.This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
Chapter 2: Server Installation • Allow the hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch- ing them. • Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling. Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera-...
UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the SC813TS-441CBP chassis into a rack unit. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-2. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails (right side rail shown) Inner Rail Extension SC813TS-441CBP chassis includes a set of inner rails which are in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions.

UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual Control Panel LEDs The control panel located on the front of the SC813TS-441CBP 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. Hard Drive Carrier LEDs Each drive carrier has two LEDs. • Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates drive activity.
System Safety Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 6017R-TDF 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.
UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF User's Manual • This product may be connected to an IT power system. In all cases, make sure that the unit is also reliably connected to Earth (ground). • Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarites (see Figure 4-1).

First unlock the front of the chassis then press the release knob (see Figure 6-4).
UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF Manual SATA Drive Installation The SATA drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airfl ow for the Serial ATA drive bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in the chassis.
Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup Figure 6-6. Mounting a SATA Drive in a Carrier SATA Power Cables Serial ATA power cables should be routed so that they do not block the airfl ow through the chassis. See the serverboard layout diagram for the location of the cable connections.
UPER ERVER 6017R-TDF Manual CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM and fl oppy drive bays.
