1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF lies two
X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF dual processor serverboards, which are based
on Intel's 5520 (North Bridge) + ICH10R (South Bridge) chipset. (For OEM only, the
Intel 5500 is also available for the North Bridge portion of the chipset.) Below are
the main features of the serverboards. Note that the features on each board are
doubled for the server, which includes two nodes.
Processors
Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF supports two Intel® 5600/5500 series
processors in LGA1366 sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing
of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF has six 240-pin DIMM sockets that can
support up to 96 GB of registered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM (192 GB for
the system) or 48 GB of unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM
(96 GB for the system). See Chapter 5 Section 6 for more details on installing
memory into the system.
Serial ATA
The South Bridge (ICH10R) of the chipset includes a Serial ATA controller for six
Gb/s SATA drives. The hot-swappable SATA drives are connected to a backplane
that provides power, bus termination and configuration settings. RAID 0, 1, 10 and
5 are supported. Refer to the support area of our web site for procedures on set-
ting up RAID on your system.
PCI Expansion Slots
Each X8DTT-F/X8DTT-IBXF/X8DTT-IBQF board has one PCI Express 2.0 x16
slot, so two PCI Express 2.0 x16 slots are provided in the server. In the 6016TT-
TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF server configuration, riser cards have been pre-
installed to support two low-profile add-on cards.
Ethernet Ports
An Intel® network controller is integrated into each of the serverboards to support
two Gigabit LAN ports (100/1000Base-T/1000BaseTX, RJ45 output).

Chapter 1: Introduction

1-3 Server Chassis Features
The following is a general outline of the main features of the SC808T-1200B 1U
chassis. Details on the chassis can be found in Chapter 6.
System Power
When configured as a SuperServer 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF, the
SC808T-1200B includes a single high-efficiency (Gold Level) 1200W cold-swap
power supply, which provides the power to both serverboards housed in the chas-
sis.
SATA Subsystem
The SC808T-1200B chassis was designed to support four SATA hard drives, which
are hot-swappable units.
Control Panel
The SC808T-1200B features two independant control panels associated with each
node (serverboard). Each control panel has LEDs to indicate power on, network
activity, hard disk drive activity and system overheat conditions. Each control panel
also includes a main power button and a system reset button.
Rear I/O Panel
The SC808T-1200B is a 1U rackmount chassis. Its I/O panel provides a slots for
two low-profile PCI-E x16 expansion cards, two COM ports, four USB ports, two
VGA ports and four Gb Ethernet ports. See Chapter 6 for details.
Cooling System
The SC808T-1200B chassis has an innovative cooling design that features an air
shroud and three sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans per node (configured as six
fans placed back to back in pairs). A fan speed control setting in BIOS allows fan
speed to be determined by system temperature.

1-6
SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
1-4 1U Twin: System Notes
As a 1U Twin configuration, the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF is a unique
server system. With two nodes incorporated into a single chassis, there are several
points you should keep in mind.
System Power
A single power supply is used to provide the power for both serverboards. Each
serverboard however, can be shut down independently of the other with the power
button on its own control panel.
Although they share a common power supply, the I2C signals used for power supply
monitoring are received by the primary serverboard only. (When viewed from the
front of the chassis, the serverboard on the left is referred to as the primary board
and the serverboard on the right as the secondary.)
SATA Backplane/Drives
As a system, the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF supports the use of four
SATA drives. The SATA backplane works as a single backplane divided into two
sections. This means that while a single power connector is used and functions
such as overheating apply to both sections together, each pair of SATA drives is
logically connected to its own serverboard. Consequently, RAID setup is limited to
a two-drive scheme (RAID cannot be spread across all four drives).

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 6016TT-TF/6016TT-
IBXF/6016TT-IBQF 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 proces-
sors 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 specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF 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 6016TT-TF/6016TT-
IBXF/6016TT-IBQF. 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. Be sure to
read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF 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.
Choosing a Setup Location
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front•
door completely (~25 inches).

2-2
SUPERSERVER 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-IBQF User's Manual
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).
This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices accord-
•
ing to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.
!
!
Warnings and Precautions!
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 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 si-
•
multaneously 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 hot plug SATA drives and power supply modules to cool before touch-
•
ing them.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-3
Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers•
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
•
the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.
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
This section provides information on installing the 6016TT-TF/6016TT-IBXF/6016TT-
IBQF into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the system has already been
mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (see Figure 2-1). Two pairs of short brackets to be used on the front side of
the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Pro-
ceed to the next step.
