Motherboard Features
At the heart of theAcnodes RMC7132 lies the embedded board, a single processor mother- board
based upon Intel's X58 chipset. Below are the main features of the embedded board.
Processor
The embedded board supports single Intel® Core™ i7, Core™ i7 Extreme pro- cessors and future
Intel Nehalem processor families (next generation Intel Xeon® processor). Please refer to the
motherboard specifications pages on our web site for updates on supported processors.
Memory
The embedded board has six 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up to 24 GB of unbuffered
ECC/non-ECC DDR2-1333/1066/800 SDRAM.
Onboard SATA
ASATAcontroller is built in to the ICH10R portion of the chipset to provide support for a six port, 3
Gb/sec SerialATAsubsystem. The SATAdrive is not hot-swappable units.
PCI Expansion Slots
The embedded board has one PCI-E 2.0 x16 slot for use in the RMC7132 server. The PCI-E slots may
be populated with a riser card (included).
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM
port, a VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and four 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.

1U Rackmount System
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the RMC7132 chassis.
System Power
The RMC7132 chassis includes a single 280W power supply.
SATA Subsystem
The RMC7132 chassis was designed to support one internal 3.5" SerialATAhard drive. This SATA
drive is not hot-swappable; power must be removed from the system before installing or replacing.
ATA/100 IDE drives can be alternately supported.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot- swap capability of the
SATA drives.
Control Panel
The control panel on the RMC7132 provides important system monitoring and control information.
LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ- ity and system overheat conditions.
The control panel also includes a main power button and a system reset button.
Rear I/O Panel
The rear I/O panel on the RMC7132 provides one motherboard expansion slot, one COM port (another
is internal), two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two Gb Ethernet
ports.
Cooling System
The RMC7132 chassis has an innovative cooling design that features one 10-cm blower-type system
cooling fan. The blower fan plugs into a chassis fan header on the motherboard and an air shroud
channels the airflow to efficiently cool the processor area.
A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system temperature [the
recommended setting is 3-pn (Server)].

CHAPTER 2 INSTALLATION
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get yourAcnodes RMC7130 and running. Following
the steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimal amount
of time. This quick setup assumes that your RMC7130 system has come to you with the pro- cessor
and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a motherboard, processor,
system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing
specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box theAcnodes RMC7130 was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any
way. If the server itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold theAcnodes RMC7130. It should be situ-
ated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and
electromagnetic fields 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 Acnodes RMC7130 does not ship with a rack rail hardware package as the system can be
rack mounted without the use of rails.An optional rack rail package is available if you wish to order
from Supermicro. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimal
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
o 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 sufficient airflow
and ease in servicing. This product is for installation only in a RestrictedAccess Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
o This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices accord- ing to §2 of the the
German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

RMC 7132
1U Rackmount System
Rack Precautions
o Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full
weight of the rack resting on them.
o In a single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
o In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
oAlways make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.
o You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more si- multaneously may
cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
o Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
o Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.
o Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then work up.
o 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.
oAllow the power supply units and hot plug SerialATAdrives to cool before touching them.
oAlways keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers closed when not
servicing to maintain proper cooling.
