1-2 Server Chassis Features
The SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i is a scaleable 1U rackmount server plat-
form designed with some of today's most state-of-the-art features. The
following is a general outline of the main features of the SC810 chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i, the SC810 chassis
includes a single 250W power supply.
SCSI Subsystem (5013G-6 only)
The SCSI subsystem on the 5013G-6 supports two 80-pin SCA Ultra160
SCSI hard drives. (Standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Con-
nection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane
that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. The SCSI
drives are also hot-swap units.
Control Panel
The SC810's control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive ac-
tivity and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a
main power button and a system reset button.
lRackmount hardware (with screws):
Two (2) rack rail assemblies
Six (6) brackets for mounting the rack rails in a rack/telco rack
lOne (1) CD-ROM containing drivers and utilities:
Intel's®LANDesk Client Manager
LAN driver
SCSI driver (5013G-6 only)
lSuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i User's Manual
* Type and number depends upon the configuration ordered.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Rear I/O Panel
The SC810 is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one mother-
board expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports
(5013G-6 only), PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and two
Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-1.)
Cooling System
The SC810 chassis has an innovative cooling design that includes a 10-cm
blower system cooling (intake) fan and one optional 4-cm fan that can be
installed in the midsection of the chassis. The blower fan plugs into a
chassis fan header on the motherboard and operates at full rpm continu-
ously. If it breaks down, the ambient air temperature inside the chassis will
rise and activate an overheat LED.

1-3 Mainboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i lies the P4SGR/P4SGE, a
single processor motherboard designed to provide maximum performance.
Below are the main features of the P4SGR/P4SGE.
Chipset Overview
Intel’s 845GE chipset is made up of two main components:
The Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
The I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH)
The GMCH includes the host (CPU) interface, memory interface, ICH4 inter-
face and 4xAGP interface for the 845GE chipset. It contains advanced
power management logic and supports a single channel of DDR SDRAM.
The AGP 2.0 interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak
bandwidth of 1056 MB.
An external graphics accelerator card is not required due to the integrated
graphics in the 845GE chipset. (If the system BIOS detects an external
AGP device, it will disable the integrated graphics.) The integrated graphics
controller delivers 3D, 2D and video capabilities, including video
conferencing applications. The controller does not utlilize local memory, but
accesses graphics data located in system memory at speeds of up to 2.1
GB/s (DDR-266). It also includes a cache controller to avoid frequent
memory fetches of recently accessed texture data.
I/O Controller Hub (ICH4)
The ICH4 is a fourth-generation I/O Controller Hub subsystem that integrates
many of the input/output functions of the 845GE chipset, including a two-
channel ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. The ICH4 also interfaces with
the PCI cards, the AC'97 Audio CODEC and the various communications
ports. Nearly all communications between the GMCH and the ICH4 takes
place over the hub Interface, which is a 66 MHz/266 MB/s bus.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5
Processors
The P4SGR/P4SGE supports single 478-pin Pentium 4 microPGA processors
at up to 2.8 GHz at a front side (system) bus speed of 533 or 400 MHz.
Please refer to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of
supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/TechSupport.htm).
Memory
The P4SGR/P4SGE has two (2) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to
2 GB of non-ECC unbuffered PC2700/2100 (DDR-333/266) low-profile
SDRAM modules. Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may
be used to populate the DIMM slots.
Onboard SCSI (5013G-6 only)
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller chip,
which supports dual channel, Ultra160 SCSI at a burst throughput rate of
160 MB/sec for each channel. The P4SGR provides two SCSI ports: one
internal 68-pin LVD Ultra160 connector (on Channel A) and one external/
internal (shared) 68-pin Ultra160 SCSI connector (channel B).
PCI Expansion Slots
The P4SGR/P4SGE has six 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI slots available. One riser
card is included with the system for use with 32-bit PCI cards.
Network Interface Controllers (NIC)
The P4SGR/P4SGE supports two Gb LAN ports (or Network Interface con-
trollers -NIC) based on Intel's 82540EM Ethernet controller chip.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four UDMA/
100 hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O ports include one COM port,
one parallel port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA
(graphics) port and two LAN (NIC) ports.

Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include eight voltage
monitors, a chassis intrusion header, auto-switching voltage regulators,
chassis and CPU overheat sensors, virus protection and BIOS rescue.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i up 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 5013G-6/5013G-i system has
come to you with the processor 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 SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 the SuperServer
5013G-6/5013G-i. It should be situated 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 box the SuperServer 5013G-6/5013G-i 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 minimal 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 5013G-6/5013G-i Manual
Choosing a Setup Location
- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open
the front door completely (~25 inches).
- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack
to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
Rack Precautions
- 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.
- In a 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 before you
install the rails.
- Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack
first, 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 the power supply units and hot plug SCSI drives (5013G-6) 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.
