Chapter 1: Introduction
1-6 2U Twin2: System Notes
As a 2U Twin2 conguration, the SuperServer 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR is a
unique server system. With four system boards incorporated into a single chassis
acting as four separate nodes, there are several points you should keep in mind.
Nodes
Each of the four serverboards act as a separate node in the system. As independent
nodes, each may be powered off and on without affecting the others. In addition,
each node is a hot-swappable unit that may be removed from the rear of the chassis.
The nodes are connected to the server backplane by means of an adapter card.
Note: A guide pin is located between the upper and lower nodes on the inner chassis
wall. This guide pin also acts as a “stop” when a node is fully installed. If too much
force is used when inserting a node this pin may break off. Take care to slowly slide
a node in until you hear the “click” of the locking tab seating itself.
System Power
Dual 2000 Watt power supplies are used to provide the power for all four
serverboards. Each serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the
other with the power button on its own control panel.
Hard Drive Backplane/Drives
As a system, the SuperServer 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR supports the use of
24 hard drives (SAS or SATA). A single backplane works to apply system-based
control for power and fan speed functions, yet at the same time logically connects
a set of six hard drives to each serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited
to a six-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all 24 drives). See the Drive
Bay Installation/Removal section in Chapter 6 for the logical hard drive and node
conguration.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR up and running. Following these steps in the order
given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount
of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the
processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated
with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or
section noted in each step for details on installing specic components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR server was shipped
in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you
should le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the ra c k unit that will hold the
2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR server. It should be situated in a clean, dust-
free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic elds are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded
power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the SuperServer 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR was shipped in should
include two sets of rail assemblies, two 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 minimum amount of time.
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure
outlined in the sections that follow.

2-2
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR 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 sufcient airow and ease in servicing.
• This product is for 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
according to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
2-4 Warnings and Precautions
Rack Precautions
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to
the oor 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.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack you install the before
rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack rst, and then
work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
• Allow any hot plug drives and power supply modules to cool before touching
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
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).
Reduced Airow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not
arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
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.
Reliable Ground
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.).
Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains
stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• 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 lled 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.

2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR
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 will differ slightly from the instructions
provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
rack unit you are using. Note: This rail will t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail (see Figure 2-1). These assemblies are specically designed for
the left and right side of the chassis.

Figure 2-2. Extending and Releasing the Inner Rail
Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
Releasing the Inner Rail
Use the procedure below to release the inner rails from the outer rails.
Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails (Figure 2-2)
1. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies as described in section 2-5.
2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated
below.
3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
4. Pull the inner rail all the way out.

System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel and on the drive carriers to keep you
constantly informed of the overall status of the system. SC217HQ+ models include
four front panels on the handles of the chassis which control each of the systems.
This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indicators and the appropriate
response you may need to take.

3-2 Control Panel Button
Alert
This LED is illuminated when an alert condition occurs.
• A solid red light indicates an overheat condition in the system.
• A ashing red light which ashes in one second intervals indicates a fan failure.
Power
The main power button on each of the four control panels is used to apply or remove
power from the power supply to each of the four systems in the chassis. Turning
power to the system off with this button removes the main power, but keeps standby
power supplied to the system. Therefore, you must unplug the AC power cord from
any external power source before servicing. The power button has a built-in LED
which will turn green when the power is on.
UID
When used with a UID compatible motherboard, the UID button is used to turn on
or off the blue light function of the LED. This is built into the front side of the UID
button and at the rear end of each motherboard node, for those motherboards which
support it. Once the blue light is activated, the unit can be easily located in very
large racks and server banks.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The four control panels are located on the front handle of the SC217HQ+ chassis.
Each control panel has two additional 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.

• A ashing red light which ashes in four second intervals indicates a power
failure.
When notied of an alert, check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans
are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the
chassis covers and air shrouds are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are
installed properly. This LED will remain ashing or on as long as the temperature
is too high or a fan does not function properly.
NIC
Indicates network activity on either LAN1 or LAN2 when ashing.
3-4 Hard Drive Carrier LEDs
Hard Drives
Each drive carrier has two LEDs.
• Blue: When illuminated, this blue LED (on the front of the drive carrier) indicates
drive activity. A connection to the backplane enables this LED to blink on and
off when that particular drive is being accessed.
• Red: The red LED to indicate a hard drive failure. If one of the hard drives fail,
you should be notied by your system management software.

Chapter 5
Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF serverboard
into the chassis, connect the data and power cables and install add-on cards.
All serverboard jumpers and connections are also described. A layout and quick
reference chart are included in this chapter for your reference. Remember to
completely close the chassis when you have nished working with the serverboard
to better cool and protect the system.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully (see previous chapter). To prevent the serverboard from bending, keep
one hand under the center of the board to support it when handling. The following
measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment from electric static
discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent Electrostatic Discharge (ESD).
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid electrical static
discharge. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static
protected.

5-2
SUPERSERVER 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR USER'S MANUAL
5-2 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the serverboard.
Connecting Data Cables
The cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been carefully
routed in precongured systems to prevent them from blocking the ow of cooling
air that moves through the system from front to back.
If you need to disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to reroute them
as they were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect
to the pin 1 locations). If you are conguring the system, keep the airow in mind
when routing the cables.

5-6 Adding PCI Expansion Cards
The 2028TP-HC0R/HC0TR/HC0FR includes one preinstalled riser card per node,
designed specically for use in the SC217HQ+-R2K02B 2U rackmount chassis. This
riser card supports one low-prole PCI Express x16 card to t inside the chassis
for each node.
Installing an Expansion Card
1. After powering down the system, remove the PCI slot shield.
2. Fully seat the card into the slot, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on
both sides of the card.
3. Finish by using a screw to secure the top of the card shield to the chassis.
The PCI slot shield protects the serverboard and its components from EMI
and aid in proper ventilation, so make sure it is always in place.

carefully. The following measures are generally sufcient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, expansion cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
• For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS setup utility for the X10DRT-P/PT/PIBF. The
ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated. This chapter
describes the basic navigation of the AMI BIOS setup utility screens.
Note: For AMI BIOS recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Recovery
Instructions in Appendix C.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS setup utility screens, press the <Delete> key while the
system is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS
setup screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as
<F1>, <F2>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The AMI BIOS setup
menu screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options that can
be congured. Grayed-out options cannot be congured. Options in blue can be
congured by the user. The right frame displays the key legend. Above the key
legend is an area reserved for a text message. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a text message will accompany it.
Note: the AMI BIOS has default text messages built in. Supermicro retains
the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.
The AMI BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called "hot keys."
Most of the AMI BIOS setup utility "hot keys" can be used at any time during the
setup navigation process. These keys include <F1>, <F4>, <Enter>, <Esc>, arrow
keys, etc.
Note Bold: Options printed in are default settings.
How To Change the Conguration Data
The conguration data that determines the system parameters may be changed by
entering the AMI BIOS setup utility. This setup utility can be accessed by pressing
<Del> at the appropriate time during system boot.
