What does the Power Fail LED indicate?

It indicates a power supply module has failed.

What should I do to prepare for setting up the server?

The box in which the system was shipped should include the rackmount hardware needed to install it into the rack. Read the section in its entirety before beginning the installation.

Where should I place the system?

The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to open the front door completely (~25 inches) and approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow sufficient space for airflow and access when servicing. This product should be installed only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).

What rack precautions should I take?

Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are extended to the floor so that the full weight of the rack rests on them. In single rack installations, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together. Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a server or other component from the rack. Extend only one server or component at a time – extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

What server precautions should I take?

Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix B. Determine the placement of each component in the rack before installing the rails. Install the heaviest server components at the bottom of the rack first and then work your way up. Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges and voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure. Allow any drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them. When not servicing, always keep the front door of the rack and all covers/panels on the servers closed to maintain proper cooling.

What rack mounting considerations should I keep in mind?

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room’s ambient temperature. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA). Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading. Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

What special precautions should I take to prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack?

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack. When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack. If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

What is the procedure for rack mounting?

This section provides information on installing a 4U chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly. Also refer to the installation instructions for your rack unit. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.5"and 36.4" deep.

How do I identify the inner rack rails?

The chassis package includes one pair of rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of an inner rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that is attached directly to the rack. The inner rails are etched with “L” (Left side) and “R” (Right side).

How do I install the inner rails on the chassis?

  1. Identify the left and right side inner rails. Place the correct inner rail on the side of the chassis, aligning the hooks of the chassis with the inner rail holes. Make sure the rail faces “outward” so that it will fit with the rack’s mounting bracket.
  2. Slide the rail toward the front of the chassis to hook the inner rail onto the side of the chassis.
  3. If desired, secure the rail with two flat head M4 x 4mm screws as illustrated.
  4. Repeat for the other inner rail.

How do I install the outer rails onto the rack?

  1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
  2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
  3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
  4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the rack.
  5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
  6. Repeat for the other outer rail.

How do I install the chassis into a rack?

  1. Align the chassis rails (A) with the front of the rack rails (B).
  2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. You may have to depress the locking tabs while inserting. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, the locking tabs should “click” into the locked position.
  3. If screws are used, tighten the screws on the front and rear of the outer rails.
  4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

How do I remove the chassis from the rack?

  • When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands (gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
  • Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.

How do I install a Non-F model processor into the processor carrier?

  1. Hold the processor with the LGA lands (gold contacts) facing up. Locate the small, gold triangle in the corner of the processor and the corresponding hollowed triangle on the processor carrier. These triangles indicate pin 1.
  2. Using the triangles as a guide, carefully align and place Point A of the processor into Point A of the carrier. Then gently flex the other side of the carrier for the processor to fit into Point B.
  3. Examine all corners to ensure that the processor is firmly attached to the carrier.

How do I assemble the Processor Heatsink Module for a Non-F model processor?

After creating the processor carrier assembly for the Non-F model processor, mount it onto the heatsink to create the processor heatsink module (PHM):

  1. Note the label on top of the heatsink, which marks the heatsink mounting holes as 1, 2, 3, and 4. If this is a new heatsink, the thermal grease has been pre-applied on the underside. Otherwise, apply the proper amount of thermal grease.
  2. Turn the heatsink over with the thermal grease facing up. Hold the processor carrier assembly so the processor’s gold contacts are facing up, then align the triangle on the assembly with hole 1 of the heatsink. Press the processor carrier assembly down. The plastic clips of the assembly will lock outside of holes 1 and 2, while the remaining clips will snap into their corresponding holes.
  3. Examine all corners to ensure that the plastic clips on the processor carrier assembly are firmly attached to the heatsink.

How do I prepare the CPU socket for installation?

This motherboard comes with a plastic protective cover installed on the CPU socket. Remove it from the socket to install the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM). Gently pull up one corner of the plastic protective cover to remove it.

How do I install the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)?

  1. Once you have assembled the processor heatsink module (PHM) by following the instructions, you are ready to install the processor heatsink module (PHM) into the CPU socket on the motherboard.
  2. Locate the triangle (pin 1) on the CPU socket, and locate the triangle (pin 1) at the corner of the PHM that is closest to “1”. (If you have difficulty locating pin 1 of the PHM, turn the PHM upside down. With the LGA-lands side facing up, you will note the hollow triangle located next to a screw at the corner. Turn the PHM right side up, and you will see a triangle marked on the processor clip at the same corner of hollow triangle.)
  3. Carefully align pin 1 (the triangle) on the the PHM against pin 1 (the triangle) on the CPU socket.
  4. Once they are properly aligned, insert the two diagonal oval holes on the heatsink into the guiding posts.
  5. Using a T30 Torx-bit screwdriver, install four screws into the mounting holes on the socket to securely attach the PHM onto the motherboard starting with the screw marked “1” (in the sequence of 1, 2, 3, and 4).

How do I remove the Processor Heatsink Module (PHM) from the Motherboard?

What type of memory does the X11DPG-OT-CPU support?

The X11DPG-OT-CPU supports up to 3TB 3Ds Load Reduced DIMM (3Ds LRDIMM) Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), 3Ds Registered DIMM (3Ds RDIMM) Registered DIMM (RDIMM), DDR4 (288-pin) ECC 2666/2400/2133 MHz memory modules in 24 slots. Populating these DIMM modules with a pair of memory modules of the same type and size will result in interleaved memory, which will improve memory performance.

What are the memory population guidelines?

  • All DIMMs must be DDR4.
  • Balance memory. Using unbalanced memory topology, such as populating two DIMMs in one channel while populating one DIMM in another channel, reduces performance. It is not recommended for Supermicro systems.
  • In dual-CPU configurations, memory must be installed in the slots associated with the installed CPUs.

What guidelines should I consider regarding mixing DIMMs?

  • Populating slots with a pair of DIMM modules of the same type and size results in inter-leaved memory, which improves memory performance.
  • Use memory modules of the same type and speed, as mixing is not allowed.
  • x4 and x8 DIMMs can be mixed in the same channel.
  • Mixing of LRDIMMs and RDIMMs is not allowed in the same channel, across different channels, and across different sockets.
  • Mixing of non-3DS and 3DS LRDIMM is not allowed in the same channel, across different channels, and across different sockets.

What ESD Precautions should I take?

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components including memory modules. To avoid damaging DIMM modules, it is important to handle them carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient.

  • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
  • Handle the memory module by its edges only.
