1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the 1011S-MR2 lies the H8SSL-i2, a single processor motherboard
designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the main features of the
H8SSL-i2. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the ServerWorks HT-1000
chipset.)
Processors
The H8SSL-i2 has a 940-pin AM2 type socket that supports a single AMD Opteron
Series 1000 processor. Please refer to the support section of our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors.
Memory
The H8SSL-i2 has four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 8 GB of
ECC/non-ECC DDR2-800/667/533 SDRAM. (Memory can operate in either single
or dual dual-channel mode.)
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is incorporated into the ServerWorks HT-1000 chipset. The
single Serial ATA drive in the 1011S-MR2 is not hot-swappable. No RAID is sup-
ported due to the single hard drive configuration.
PCI Expansion Slots
The H8SSL-i2 has one 64-bit, 133 MHz (3.3V) PCI-X slot and two 32-bit, 33 MHz
(5V) PCI slots. When incorporated into the 1011S-MR2 server system, a riser card
(CSE-RR1U-X) is included for use with the PCI-X slot to support one full-height,
half-length expansion card in the 133 MHz PCI-X slot.
Ethernet Ports
A Broadcom BCM5704 Ethernet controller is incorporated into the H8SSL-i2 to
support two Gigabit LAN ports.
Graphics Controller
The 1011S-MR2 features an integrated video controller based on the ES1000
graphics chip. The ES1000 was designed specifically for servers, featuring low
power consumption, high reliability and superior longevity.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and one Ultra ATA 100 hard
drive or ATAPI device. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one serial COM port,
two USB ports, a VGA (monitor) port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two
GLAN (RJ45) 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 1011S-MR2 is a mini 1U rackmount server platform configuration. The following
is a general outline of the main features of the SC512F-260 chassis.
System Power
When configured as a 1011S-MR2, the SC512F-260 chassis includes a single
260W power supply.
Control Panel
The SC512F-260's control panel provides important system monitoring and control
information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity,
overheat warning and fan failure. 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 SC512F-260 provides one motherboard expansion slot,
one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports,
a VGA (graphics) port and two Gb Ethernet ports. (See Chapter 6 for diagram.)
Cooling System
The SC512F-260/SC513F-260 chassis has an innovative cooling design that
features an air shroud and two sets of counter-rotating fans with user-defined fan
speed control.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1011S-MR2 up and run-
ning. 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
1011S-MR2 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 System
You should inspect the box the 1011S-MR2 was shipped in and note if it was dam-
aged 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 1011S-MR2. 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 1011S-MR2 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
AS1011S-MR2 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
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 to cool before touching them.
- Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the serv-
ers closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Warnings and Precautions!

Chapter 2: Server Installation
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 manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient tempera-
ture (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow 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 Installing the System into a Rack
(Rack hardware optional)
This section provides information on installing the 1011S-MR2 into a rack unit. If
the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections
2-5 and 2-6.
Basic Installation Procedure
The 1011S-MR2 server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located
on each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply
screw these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).
As Figure 2-1 shows, the brackets can be located at the front of the chassis (left
figure) or moved approximately one-third to the rear of the chassis (right figure).
