1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5014C-MF lies the P8SCT, a single processor
motherboard based upon Intel's E7221 chipset. Below are the main features of
the P8SCT.
Processor
The P8SCT has a single LGA775 ZIF socket to support an Intel®Pentium®4
("Prescott" type) processor with hyper-threading technology at an 800/533 MHz FSB
speed or a single Intel®Celeron®processor at a 533 MHz FSB speed. Please refer
to the support section of our web site for a complete listing of supported processors
(http://www.supermicro.com/support/).
Memory
The P8SCT has four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 4 GB of
unbuffered ECC type DDR2-533/400 SDRAM modules. The P8SCT's dual-channel
memory bus requires modules to be populated in pairs. All memory modules must
be the same size and speed.
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is incorporated into the ICHR6 (South Bridge) portion of the
E7221 chipset to provide a four-port Serial ATA subsystem, which is RAID0, RAID1
and RAID 10 supported. The drive may also be used in a JBOD configuration.
Only a single hard drive may be installed in the system. The Serial ATA drive is
not hot-swappable.
PCI Expansion Slots
The P8SCT has one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X slot and five 32-bit PCI slots. One riser
card is included with the system (see Chapter 5 for details).
Ethernet Ports
Two onboard Broadband BCM5721 Ethernet controllers are integrated into the
P8SCT to support two Gigabit LAN (Ethernet) ports.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Onboard Controllers/Front Side Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four Ultra ATA 100
hard drives or ATAPI devices. Front side ports include one COM port, one parallel
(printer) port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graphics port and
two 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.

1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SuperServer 5014C-MF is built on the SC513L-260 1U rackmount server
chassis. The SC513L-260 features a unique design that places all I/O ports at the
front of the chassis for easy access. The following is a general outline of the main
features of the SC513L-260 chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 5014C-MF, the SC513L-260 chassis includes
a single 260W power supply.
Serial ATA Subsystem
The SC513L-260 chassis was designed to support one internal 3.5" Serial ATA hard
drive. This Serial ATA drive is not hot-swappable; power must be removed from
the system before installing or replacing. ATA/100 IDE drives can be alternately
supported.
Control Panel
The control panel on the SC513L-260 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.
Front I/O Panel
The I/O panel for the SC513L-260 is located on the front side of the chassis. It
provides one COM port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a graph-
ics port and two Gb Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-2.)

1-6
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF User's Manual
Cooling System
The SC513L-260 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)], see page 7-11.

2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MF
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 5014C-MF system has come to you with the processor and memory prein-
stalled. 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 the SuperServer 5014C-MF 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 5014C-
MF. 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 SuperServer 5014C-MF 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.

2-2
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MF 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).
- Leave 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 Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
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 simul-
taneously 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 Serial ATA drives to cool before touch-
ing them.
- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
