1-5 SBB: Storage Bridge Bay
The 2027B-DE2R24L Super SBB was designed to function as a fully redundant,
fault-tolerant "cluster-in-a-box" system. The standard support for 24 3.5" hot-swap
HDDs (SAS1 or SAS2) may be expanded to support additional storage with the
optional SBB J BOD SYS-927R-E2J B conguration.
The Super SBB provides hot-swappable canisters for all active components. Each of
the two serverboard canisters support dual-processors, 6 DIMM slots, 3 PCI-E Gen2
slots and 6 Gbps SAS (SAS2). The 2027B-DE2R24L features eight lanes of PCI-E
3.0 connecting the left server module with the right server module. This connection
is used for high speed data transfers between nodes for High Availability/server
fail-over. This fail-over capability is fully dependent on the software/OS installed
and how the chosen software uses the connection (Active-Active or Active-Passive).
2027B-DE2R24L hardware is supplied without a storage OS or fail-over software.
Equipped with 920W 80PLUS Platinum Level redundant power supplies and redun-
dant cooling fans, the 2027B-DE2R24L offers fully redundant high-availability while
maintaining energy efcient operation.
2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 2027B-DE2R24L 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 2027B-DE2R24L 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 rack unit that will hold the 2027B-DE2R24L.
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 Precau-
tions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 2027B-DE2R24L was shipped in should include two sets of rail assem-
blies, 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.
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.
2-2
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
acccording to 2 of the 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 si-
multaneously 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 before you install the
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.
2-3
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 manufacturers maximum rated ambient tempera-
ture (Tmra).
Reduced Air ow
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 connec-
tions other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power
strips, etc.).
2-4
2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC937 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. 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.
Installing the Inner Rack Rails
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Extend the inner rail toward the front of the rail assembly as far as possible,
then depress the locking tab to pull it completely out.
2. Place the inner rail on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chas-
sis with the rail extension holes.
3. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
4. You may secure the chassis with screws if desired.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rail.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
2-5
Figure 2-2. Outer Rack Rails
Figure 2-3. Outer Rack Rail Install
Installing the Outer Rack Rails
Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for
the SC937 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.
Installing the Outer Rails
1. Attach the right outer rail to the rack by inserting the hooks included on the
rails into the holes provided on the rack.
2. If desired, screw the rails to the chassis for added support.
3. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the oor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
2-6
Figure 2-3. Installing the Chassis into the Rack
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Installing into a Rack
1. Conrm that the inner and outer rails are properly installed.
2. Line up the inner (chassis) rails with the front of the outer (rack) rails.
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click" into position.
4. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server
to the rack.
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

Chapter 3
System Interface
3-1 Overview
There are several LEDs on two control panels as well as others on the drive carriers
to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well as the
activity and health of specic components. A main power button is also located on
the right side (only) control panel.
3-2 Control Panel Button
Power
The single button located on the right control panel is the power on/off button.
Depressing this button will either power both nodes on or off.Turning off system
power with this button removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied
to the system.
3-3 Control Panel LEDs
The two control panels located on the front of the chassis have several LEDs. With
the exception of the power fail LED, these LEDs provide you with critical information
related to the node on the same side of the chassis. This section explains what each
LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.
Power Fail
Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will
take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be
replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing the power supply. This LED
should be off when the system is operating normally.
3-2

Overheat/Fan Fail:
When this LED ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously it indicates
an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airow in
the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. 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 are installed. Finally, verify that
the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain ashing
or on as long as the indicated condition exists.
NIC1
Indicates network activity on the LAN1 port when ashing.
NIC2
Indicates network activity on the LAN2 port when ashing.
Heartbeat
On the SuperServer 2027B-DE2R24L, this is a serverboard heartbeat LED and
indicates that power is being supplied to the serverboard.
3-3
Power
Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply units. This LED
should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.
3-4 Drive Carrier LEDs
Each drive carrier has two LEDs:
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the drive carrier indicates the drive
is powered on. If this LED is not lit, it means no power is being provided for the
drive. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed drives.
Red: A steady red LED indicates a drive failure. If one of the drives fails, you
should be notied by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter
6 for instructions on replacing failed drives. If this LED ashes ~once per second
(1 Hz) it indicates RAID rebuilding activity.

Notes
5-1
Chapter 5
Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter provides detailed information on the X9DBS-F serverboard. All
serverboard jumpers and connections are described. A layout and quick reference
chart are also 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 dam-
age 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.
5-2
5-2 Cable and Device Connectiions
All data and power connections between the serverboard to the system (including
the power supplies and the hard drives) are provided through the midplane. Most of
these connections are made automatically when the system is assembled. "Right"
and "left" refer to the side of the chassis as viewed from the front of the system.
Also refer to Chapter 6 Section 5 for an image of the midplane with the connec-
tions listed below.
Power Connections
Power is routed from the power supplies to the power distribution board which in
turn connects to the midplane. When the serverboards are seated in their bays they
plug into the midplane to receive power.
Fan Cabling
All six cooling fans are connected to headers on the serverboard and may be
monitored through IPMI. Fans can be accessed for replacement by removing the
entire hot-swap server module.
Control Panels
A ribbon cable connects each control panel to the midplane. The right and left side
control panels connect to J P1 and J P2 on the midplane, respectively.
5-3
5-3 Installing the Processor and Heatsink
Caution: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the
label area of the fan.
Notes:
Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, re-
moving or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the
processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use an Intel-certied multi-
directional heatsink only.
Make sure to install the serverboard into the chassis before you install the CPU
heatsinks.
When receiving a serverboard without a processor pre-installed, make sure that
the plastic CPU socket cap is in place and none of the socket pins are bent;
otherwise, contact your retailer immediately.
Refer to the Supermicro web site for updates on CPU support.
Installing an LGA 1356 Processor
1. Press the socket clip to release
the load plate covering the CPU
socket from its locked position.
2. Gently lift the socket clip to open
the load plate.
3. Hold the plastic cap at its north
and south center edges to remove
it from the CPU socket.
4. After removing the plastic cap,
hold the CPU at the north and
south center edges with your
thumb and index nger.
5-4
5. Align the CPU key, which is a
semi-circle cutout, against the
socket key, which is the notch be-
low the gold color dot on the side
of the socket.
6. Align pin 1 of the CPU against pin
1 of the CPU socket.
7. Once both CPU and the socket are
aligned, carefully lower the CPU
straight down into the socket. (To
avoid damaging the CPU or the
socket, do not rub the CPU against
the surface of the socket or its
pins.)
8. With the CPU inside the socket,
inspect the four corners of the
CPU to make sure that the CPU is
properly installed.
9. Once the CPU is securely seated
on the socket, lower the CPU load
plate to the socket.
10. Use your thumb to gently push the
socket clip down to the clip lock.
Warni ng: Please save the plastic cap.
The serverboard must be shipped
with the plastic cap properly installed
to protect the CPU socket pins. Ship-
ment without the plastic cap prop-
erly installed will cause damage to the
socket pins.
5-5
1. Power down the node and unplug the AC power cord.
2. Unscrew and remove the heatsink screws in the sequence shown in the il-
lustration above.
3. Hold the heatsink and gently wiggle it to loosen it from the CPU. (Do not use
excessive force when doing this!)
4. Once the heatsink is loosened, remove it from the CPU.
5. Clean the surface of the CPU and the heatsink to get rid of the old thermal
grease. Reapply the proper amount of thermal grease before you re-install
the heatsink.
Removing the Heatsink
Warning: We do not recommend removing the CPU or the heatsink. If you need to
remove the heatsink, please follow the instructions below to prevent damage to the
CPU or other components.
Screw #1
(behind)
Screw #4
Screw #2
Screw #3
Installing a CPU Heatsink
1. Remove power from the system
and unplug the AC power cord
from the power supply.
2. Do not apply any thermal grease
to the heatsink or the CPU die; the
required amount has already been
applied.
3. Place the heatsink on top of the
CPU so that the four mounting
holes are aligned with those on the
(preinstalled) heatsink retention
mechanism.
4. Screw in two diagonal screws (i.e.
the #1 and the #2 screws) until
just snug. Do not fully tighten the
screws or you may damage the
CPU.)
5. Add the two remaining screws
then nish the installation by fully
tightening all four screws.

1. Begin by removing the node you wish to populate with add-on cards.
2. Locate the riser card and fully seat the cards into the slots in the riser, push-
ing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
3. If standard size cards are used, only passive heatsinks may be used for the
processors as the card size will interfere with active type heatsinks.

5-8 Jumper Settings
Explanation of Jumpers
To modify the operation of the
serverboard, jumpers can be used
to choose between optional settings.
J umpers create shorts between two
pins to change the function of the con-
nector. Pin 1 is identied with a square
solder pad on the printed circuit board.
See the serverboard layout pages for
jumper locations.
Note: On a two-pin jumper, "Closed"
means the jumper is on both pins and
"Open" means the jumper is either on
only one pin or completely removed.

J BT1 is used to clear CMOS (which will also clear any passwords). Instead of pins,
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents
of CMOS.
To clear CMOS,
1. First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2. With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such
as a small screwdriver.
3. Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
4. Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.
Note: Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.

5-11 Installing Software
The Supermicro ftp site contains drivers and utilities for your system at ftp://ftp.
supermicro.com. Some of these must be installed, such as the chipset driver.
After accessing the ftp site, go into the CDR_Images directory and locate the ISO
le for your serverboard. Download this le to create a CD/DVD of the drivers and
utilities it contains. (You may also use a utility to extract the ISO le if preferred.)
Another option is to go to the Supermicro Website at http://www.supermicro.com/
products/. Find the product page for your serverboard here, where you may down-
load individual drivers and utilities.
After creating a CD/DVD with the ISO les, insert the disk into the CD/DVD drive
on your system and the display shown in Figure 5-6 should appear.
Note: Click the icons showing a hand writing on paper to view the readme les
for each item. Click the computer icons to the right of these items to install each
item (from top to the bottom) one at a time. After installing each item, you must
re-boot the system before moving on to the next item on the list. The bottom
icon with a CD on it allows you to view the entire contents.

SuperDoctor III
The SuperDoctorIII program is a web-based management tool that supports
remote management capability. It includes Remote and Local Management tools.
The local management is called SD III Client. The SuperDoctor III program allows
you to monitor the environment and operations of your system. SuperDoctor III
displays crucial system information such as CPU temperature, system voltages
and fan status. See the gures below for examples of the SuperDoctor III interface.
Note: The default User Name and Password for SuperDoctor III is ADMIN / ADMIN.
Note: When SuperDoctor III is rst installed, it adopts the temperature threshold
settings that have been set in BIOS. Any subsequent changes to these thresholds
must be made within SuperDoctor III, as the SuperDoctor III settings override the
BIOS settings. To set the BIOS temperature threshold settings again, you would
rst need to uninstall SuperDoctor III.

Chapter 6
Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-
nance on the SC927 chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the
order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps
are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.
Tools Required: The only tool you will need to install components and perform
maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
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. 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, 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 static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.
6-2
Figure 6-1. Front and Rear Chassis Views
6-2 Control Panel
The control panels are connected to the serverboards through the midplane. The
LEDs on the control panels are associated with the node on the same side of the
chassis. Note that only the right-side control panel includes a power button. De-
pressing this button will turn both nodes on or off.
See Chapter 3 for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons.
6-3 System Fans
System cooling is provided by three sets of counter-rotating fans on each
serverboard and a fan assembly near the front of the node. Each fan assembly (one
for each node) consists of three sets of counter-rotating fans. The counter-rotating
action helps dampen vibration levels while generating exceptional airow.
Note: An air shroud has been preinstalled to t over CPU2 and should not be
removed.
It is very important that the chassis cover is properly installed and making a good
seal for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the com-
ponents.

System Fan Failure
Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails,
the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the
control panel (of the same side as the failed fan) will turn on.
The fans may also be visually inspected for failure. Replace any failed fan at your
earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run
with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running to
determine which of the fans has failed.
Replacing System Fans
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12-volt counter-rotating fan (p/n FAN-
0088L4, available from Supermicro). See Figures 6-2 and 6-3.
Replacing Fans
1. Shut down the node with the failed fan(s) and remove the AC power cord.
2. On the node with the failed fan, push the release bar down to unlock the
serverboard tray.
3. Use the bar to pull the node/serverboard from the chassis.
4. Remove the failed fan from the assembly and replace it with an identical
replacement. You may need to remove the assembly to replace the lower fan.
5. Slide the serverboard tray back into the chassis. When seated, lift the release
bar to lock it into place.
6. Reconnect the AC power cord and power up the node.
7. Inspect the replaced fan to verify it is working.

6-4 Drive Bay Installation/Removal
Accessing the Drive Bays
SAS Drives: You do not need to access the inside of the chassis or remove power
to replace or swap SAS drives. Proceed to the next step for instructions. Typically
3.5" x 1" deep SAS drives are used. Optional conversion trays are available to
install 2.5" drives.
Note: Refer to the following ftp site for setup guidelines: <ftp://ftp.supermicro.
com/driver/SAS/LSI/LSI_SAS_EmbMRAID_SWUG.pdf> and Supermicro's web
site for additional inmformation <http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/>.
Hard Drive Midplane
The hard drives plug into a midplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termina-
tion. This system uses an IT mode disk controller, offering users the most exibility
in creating fault tolerant software. Many open source platforms and modern com-
mercial operating systems support RAID as well as other techniques to allow hot-
swap maintenance of the storage devices.The midplane is already precongured,
so no jumper or switch congurations are required.
SAS 3.0 Controller
The SAS 3.0 controller (LSI 2308) is located on a mezzanine card that plugs into
the "SAS Controller Card" slot (see serverboard layout diagram for location).
SAS Drive Installation
These drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal
from the chassis. The carriers also help promote proper airow for the drives. For
this reason, even empty carriers without hard drives installed must remain in the
chassis.
Removing a HDD Carrier from the Chassis (Figure 6-4)
1. Press the release button on the drive tray. This extends the drive tray handle.
2. Use the handle to pull the drive out of the chassis.
6-6
Warning: Regardless of how many hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must
remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airow.
Figure 6-4. Removing a HDD Carrier from the Chassis
Warning: Enterprise level hard disk drives are recommended for use in Supermicro
chassis and servers. For information on recommended HDDs, visit the Supermicro
Web site.

6-6 Power Supply
The 2027B-DE2R24L has a 920 watt redundant power supply consisting of two sep-
arate power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability,
which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.
When fully inserted into the chassis, the power supplies connect automatically to a
power distribution board (PDB). The PDB in turn connects to the midplane via two
black power connectors as shown in Figure 6-7.
Power Supply Failure
If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full
load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail
LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. Replace-
ment units can be ordered directly from Supermicro. The power supply units have
a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering
down the system.
Replacing the Power Supply
You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The
backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace
the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model (see part number in the Ap-
pendix), which can be ordered directly from Supermicro.
Replacing the Power Supply
1. The SC927 chassis includes a redundant power supply (at least two power
modules), you can leave the server running if you remove only one power
supply at a time.
2. Unplug the power supply that you will replace.
3. Push the release tab (on the back of the power supply) as illustrated.
4. Pull the power supply out using the handle provided.
5. Replace the failed power module with the same model.
6. Push the new power supply module into the power bay until you hear a click.
7. Plug the AC power cord back into the module and power up the server.

Chapter 7
BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMI BIOS Setup utility for the X9DBS-F/X9DBS-F-2U. It
also provides the instructions on how to navigate the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens.
The AMI ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash EEPROM and can be easily updated.
Starting BIOS Setup Utility
To enter the AMI BIOS Setup utility screens, press the <Del>key while the system
is booting up.
Note: In most cases, the <Del>key is used to invoke the AMI BIOS setup
screen. There are a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F3>,
<F4>, etc.
Each main BIOS menu option is described in this manual. The Main 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 informational text. When an option is selected in the
left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often, informational text about the option will
display on the right.
Note: The AMI BIOS has default informational messages built in. The
manufacturer retains the option to include, omit, or change any of these
informational 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 setup
navigation. These keys include <F3>, <F4>, <Enter>, <ESC>, arrow keys, etc.
Note 1: In this section, options printed in Bold are default settings.
Note 2: <F3>is used to load optimal default settings. <F4>is used to save
the settings and exit the setup utility.
7-2
How To Change the Con guration 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
<Delete>at the appropriate time during system boot.
Note: For AMI UEFI BIOS Recovery, please refer to the UEFI BIOS Re-
covery User Guide posted @http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/.
Starting the Setup Utility
Normally, the only visible Power-On Self-Test (POST) routine is the memory test.
As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete>key to enter the main menu of
the AMI BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup
screens. An AMI BIOS identication string is displayed at the left bottom corner of
the screen below the copyright message.
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue.
Flashing the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event
shall the manufacturer be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential
damage arising from a BIOS update. If you have to update the BIOS, do not shut down
or reset the system while the BIOS is being updated to avoid possible boot failure.

BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed at each
system boot, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue to
boot. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors will not allow the system to continue with bootup procedure. If a
fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible
repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list correspond to the number of beeps for the
corresponding error.
