1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5028TK-HTR/HTTR lies
the K1SPi/K1SPi-T, a single processor serverboard based on the
Intel® PCH C612 chipset and designed to provide maximum performance.
Four of these serverboards can be mounted in the SC827HQ+-R2K04BP2
chassis.
The sections below cover the main features of the K1SPi/K1SPi-T serverboard (see
Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The K1SPi/K1SPi-T supports a single Intel® Xeon Phi™ x200 processor. Refer to
the serverboard description pages on our website for a complete listing of supported
processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The K1SPi/K1SPi-T has six DIMM slots supporting up to 384 GB of RDIMM
(Registered DIMM) DDR4-2400 ECC memory. See Chapter 5 for details.
Note: Check the Supermicro website (www.supermicro.com) for the latest memory
support information.
SATA
The 5028TK-HTR uses a controller integrated into the PCH C612 chipset to support
eight SAS3 hard drives per node. (RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported). The SATA drives
are hot-swappable units.
PCI Expansion Slots
The 5028TK-HTR/HTTR can support two PCI-E 3.0 expansion cards in each node
(eight total for the system). Expansion cards are mounted on riser cards. The RSC-
R1UTP-E16R riser supports a single PCI-E 3.0 x16 card on the right side of the
system (when viewed from the rear) and the RSC-P-6 riser supports one PCI-E 3.0
x16 card on the left side of the chassis.

Chapter 1: Introduction
I/O Ports
Each of the four K1SPi/K1SPi-T serverboards in the system include two USB 3.0
ports, an IPMI LAN port and a VGA port.
Note: For IPMI conguration instructions, please refer to the Embedded BMC
Configuration User's Guide available at http://www.supermicro.com/support/
manuals/.
Graphics Controller
The K1SPi/K1SPi-T features an integrated ASpeed 2400 BMC with an integrated
VGA/2D graphics controller.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC827HQ+ server
chassis.
System Power
The SC827HQ+ chassis includes a redundant, high-efciency 80-plus Platinum
certied power supply rated at 2000 Watts (one active and one backup power supply
module). In the event your power supply fails, replacement is simple and can be
accomplished without tools.
Front Control Panel
The SC827HQ+-R2K04BP2 chassis includes four front panels on the handles of the
chassis which control each of the nodes. Each control panel on the SuperServer
5028TK-HTR/HTTR provides you with system monitoring and control for one server
node. LEDs indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity, system overheat
and power supply failure. A main power button and a system reset button are also
included.
Cooling System
The SC827HQ+ chassis includes four 8-cm system fans, which are powered from
the backplane.

1-4
SUPERSERVER 5028TK-HTR/HTTR User's Manual
Air Shrouds
Each node in the SC827HQ+ chassis includes one mylar air shroud per node that
directs the airow where cooling is needed on each serverboard. Always use the
air shroud included with each serverboard.
Mounting Rails
The SC827HQ+ includes a set of quick-release rails, and can be placed in a rack
for secure storage and use. To setup your rack, follow the step-by-step instructions
included in Chapter 2.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5 2U Twin2: System Notes
As a 2U Twin2 conguration, the SuperServer 5028TK-HTR/HTTR 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 5028TK-HTR/HTTR supports the use of 12 hard
drives. 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 three hard drives to
each of the four nodes. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to a three-drive scheme
(RAID cannot be spread across all 12 drives). See the Drive Bay Installation/
Removal section in Chapter 6 for the logical hard drive and node conguration.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-1
Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
5028TK-HTR/HTTR 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 specic components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5028TK-HTR/HTTR 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 SuperServer
5028TK-HTR/HTTR. 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 5028TK-HTR/HTTR 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 5028TK-HTR/HTTR User's Manual
2-4 Warnings and Precautions
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 sufcient airow 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
acccording to §2 of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
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 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.
