Page 11: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The Supermicro SuperServer 5015B-M3 is a high-end single processor, 1U rack- mount server. The 5015B-M3 is comprised of two main subsystems: the SC813MTS- 280C chassis and the X7SB3 motherboard. Please refer to our web site for informa- tion on operating systems that have been certiﬁ...
Page 12: Motherboard Features
UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 User's Manual Motherboard Features At the heart of the SuperServer 5015B-M3 lies the X7SB3, a single processor motherboard based upon Intel's E3210 chipset. Below are the main features of the X7SB3. Processor The X7SB3 supports single Intel® Xeon® 3000 Series/Core 2 LGA775 processors at system bus speeds of 1333, 1066 and 800 MHz.
Page 13: Other Features
Chapter 1: Introduction Onboard Controllers/Ports An onboard IDE controller supports one ﬂ oppy drive. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, a VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two Gigabit LAN (NIC) ports. Other Features Other onboard features that promote system health include voltage monitors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.
Page 14: Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MTS-280C chassis. System Power When conﬁ gured as a SuperServer 5015B-M3, the SC813MTS-280C chassis in- cludes a single 300W power supply. SAS/SATA Subsystem For the 5015B-M3, the SC813MT-300 chassis was designed to support four SAS or SATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.

UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 User's Manual installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like). • This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
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 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).
Page 20: Installing The System Into A Rack
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails You may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 5015B-M3. (Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails.
Page 21: Installing The Rack Rails
Figure 2-1. Installing Rear Inner Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5015B-M3 in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
Page 22: Installing The Server Into The Rack
UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 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.
Page 23: Installing The Server Into A Telco Rack
Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack To install the SuperServer 5015B-M3 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.
Page 24: Checking The Motherboard Setup
UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 User's Manual Checking the Motherboard Setup After you install the 5015B-M3 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the motherboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made. Accessing the Inside of the System Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click").
Page 25: Checking The Drive Bay Setup
Chapter 2: Server Installation Figure 2-4. Accessing the Inside of the SuperServer 5015B-M3 Checking the Drive Bay Setup Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SAS/SATA drives and SATA backplane have been properly installed and all essential connec- tions have been made.

Page 31: Chapter 4 System Safety
System Safety Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperServer 5015B-M3 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
UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 User's Manual • 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). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Page 33: Esd Precautions
Chapter 4: System Safety • After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made. ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other.
Page 34: Operating Precautions
UPER ERVER 5015B-M3 User's Manual Operating Precautions Care must be taken to assure that the chassis cover is in place when the 5015B-M3 is operating to assure proper cooling. Out of warranty damage to the system can occur if this practice is not strictly followed. Figure 4-1.
