Introduction
1-1 Overview
The Supermicro SuperServer 5013C-M is a high-end single processor, mini 1U
rackmount server. The 5013C-M is comprised of two main subsystems: the
SC512C-260 chassis and the P4SCi motherboard. The P4SCi supports a single
478-pin Intel® Pentium® 4 microPGA processor at up to 3.40 GHz with HT
(hyper-threading) technology or a single Intel Celeron® processor of up to 2.40
GHz and up to 4 GB of ECC or non-ECC unbuffered DDR400/333/266 SDRAM
memory. Please refer to our web site for information on operating systems that
have been certified for use with the 5013C-M (www.supermicro.com) and for

1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5013C-M lies the P4SCi, a single processor
motherboard designed to provide maximum performance. Below are the main
features of the P4SCi.
Chipset Overview
The P4SCi is based on Intel’s E7210 chipset (see Figure 1-1 for a block diagram).
The E7210 chipset is made up of two main components:
The Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
Memory Controller Hub (MCH)
The MCH controls the flow of data between the host (CPU) interface, the memory
interface and the I/O Controller Hub interface. It contains advanced power man-
agement logic and supports dual-channel (interleaved) DDR memory, providing
bandwidth of up to 6.4 GB/s using DDR400 SDRAM. The MCH supports configu-
rations of a 800 MHz FSB with a 400/333 memory interface, a 533 MHz FSB with
a 333/266 memory interface, and a 400 MHz FSB with a 266 MHz memory
interface.
The MCH supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, x4, x8, and x16 DDR.
Maximum system memory supports up to 4.0 GB for dual-channel, ECC or Non-
ECC unbuffered DDR. Registered and/or mixed-mode DIMMs are not supported.
For more information, please refer to Chapter 5.
I/O Controller Hub (6300ESB)
The6300ESBICHcontrollerhubprovidestheI/Osubsystemwithaccesstotherest
of the system. It integrates a dual-channel Ultra ATA/100 bus master IDE
controller, two Serial ATA (SATA) host controllers, the SMBus 2.0 controller, the
LPC/FlashBIOSinterface,thePCI-X(66MHz)1.0interface,thePCI2.2interface
andthe System ManagementController.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Processors
The P4SCi supports a single Intel Pentium 4 processor of up to 3.40 GHz with
hyper-threading technology in a 478-pin microPGA socket or a single Intel
Celeron processor of up to 2.40 GHz. (Pentium 4 processors must be 0.13
micron technology.) Please refer to the support section of our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (http://www.supermicro.com/support).
Memory
The P4SCi has four (4) 184-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 4 GB of ECC
or non-ECC unbuffered DDR400/333/266 SDRAM modules. (Memory operates in
a dual-channel, or interleaved configuration for increased performance.) Low-
profile memory modules are required for use in the 1U form factor of the 5013C-
M. Module sizes of 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB may be used to populate
the DIMM slots.
Serial ATA
A Serial ATA controller is incorporated into the E7210 chipset to provide a two-
port Serial ATA subsystem. The Serial ATA drive is not hot-swappable.
PCI Expansion Slots
The P4SCi has two 32-bit, 33 MHz (5V) PCI slots and two 64-bit, 66 MHz (3.3V)
PCI-X slots. When incorporated into the 5013C-M server system, one 64-bit, 66
MHz PCI-X slot is available with the use of a riser card, which supports one full-
size, half-length PCI card.
Ethernet Ports
The E7210 includes an on-chip Gb Ethernet controller and the P4SCi has an
additional Gb Ethernet controller to support a total of two Gigabit LAN ports.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports one floppy drive and up to four Ultra ATA 100
hard drives or ATAPI devices. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one serial
COM port, one parallel port, four USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and
two GLAN (RJ45) ports.

SUPERSERVER 5013C-M User's Manual
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include eight voltage moni-
tors, 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 5013C-M is a mini 1U rackmount server platform configuration.
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC512C-260 chas-
sis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 5013C-M, the SC512C-260 chassis includes
a single 260W power supply.
Control Panel
The SC512C-260's control panel provides important system monitoring and con-
trol information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activ-
ity, overheat warning and drive 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 SC512C-260 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. (See Figure 1-2.)
Cooling System
The SC512C chassis has an innovative cooling design that features a 10-cm
blower system cooling fan. The blower fan plugs into a chassis fan header on
the motherboard and operates at full rpm continuously.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5013C-M
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 5013C-M system has come to you with the processor and
memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a moth-
erboard, 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 5013C-M
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 5013C-M 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
5013C-M. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated.
Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are gener-
ated. 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 5013C-M 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 5013C-M 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 ex-
tended 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 op-
erating in case of a power failure.
-Allow the power supply units and hot plug Serial ATA drive 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.
