1-2 Motherboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 5014C-MT lies the P8SCT, a single processor
motherboard based on Intel's E7221 chipset and designed to provide maximum
performance. Below are the main features of the P8SCT.
Processors
The P8SCT supports a single Intel®Pentium®4 processor or a single Intel Celeron
533 MHz FSB processor in an LGA775 socket. Please refer to our web site for a
complete listing of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The P8SCT has four (4) 240-pin DIMM sockets that can support up to 4 GB of
unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR2-533/400 SDRAM modules. The memory bus
is a dual-channel configuration and memory modules must be installed in pairs (two
at a time). All memory modules used to populate the system should be the same
size, type and speed.
Serial ATA
The ICH6R South Bridge of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller that sup-
ports a four-port SATA subsystem (RAID 0, 1 and 10 supported). The Serial ATA
drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability and RAID function of the Serial ATA drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The P8SCT has one 64-bit, 133 MHz (3.3V) PCI-X slot and five 32-bit, 33 MHz (5V)
PCI slots. When configured as the 5014CM-T, the 64-bit, 133 MHz PCI-X slot is
available with the use of a riser card (included with the system).
Ethernet Ports
The P8SCT has two onboard Broadcom BCM5721 controllers to support two Gigabit
LAN ports. (Supports 100/1000BASE-T, RJ45 output.)

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Onboard Controllers/Ports
An onboard IDE controller supports up to four Ultra ATA 100 hard drives or ATAPI
devices. Onboard I/O backpanel ports include one COM port, one parallel (printer)
port, a VGA port, two USB ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two GLAN
(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 following is a general outline of the main features of the SC813MT-300C
chassis.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 5014C-MT, the SC813MT-300C chassis in-
cludes a single 300W power supply.
Serial ATA Subsystem
For the 5014C-MT, the SC813MT-300 chassis was designed to support four Serial
ATA hard drives, which are hot-swappable units.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the Serial ATA drives.
Control Panel
The SC813MT-300C's control panel provides important system monitoring and con-
trol information. LEDs indicate power on, network activity, hard disk drive activity
and system overheat conditions. The control panel also includes a main power
button and a system reset button. The front of the SC813MT-300C also includes
a COM port and two USB serial ports for easy access.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC813MT-300C is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides one PCI
motherboard expansion slot, one COM port (another is internal), two USB ports,
a parallel (printer) port, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports, a VGA port and two Gb
Ethernet ports. (See Figure 1-2.)

1-6
SUPERSERVER 5014C-MT User's Manual
Cooling System
The SC813MT-300C chassis has an innovative cooling design that features three
4-cm high-performance system cooling fans. Each of these fans plug into a chassis
fan header on the motherboard. An air shroud channels the airflow generated by
the fans to efficiently cool the processor area of the system.
A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan speed to be determined by system
temperature [the recommended setting is 3-pin (Server)].

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer 5014C-MT
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-MT 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-MT 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-
MT . 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 5014C-MT was shipped in should include two sets of
rail assemblies, six 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 5014C-MT 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 and hot plug SATA drives 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.
