Preface
About This Manual
This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It
providesinformationfortheinstallationanduse oftheSuperServer6017R-WRF/NTF.
Installation and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians only.
The SuperServer 6017R-WRF/NTF is a 1U rackmount server based on the
SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB server chassis and the X9DRW-iF serverboard. Please
refer to our web site for updates on supported processors.
The only difference between the 6017R-WRF and 6017R-NTF servers is that the
6017R-WRF uses the R700WB 700 Watt power suppply, and the 6017R-NTF uses
the 600WB 600 Watt power supply.

1-2 Serverboard Features
At the heart of the SuperServer 6017R-WRF/NTF lies the X9DRW-iF, a dual
processor serverboard based on the Intel PCH 602 chipset. Below are the main
features of the X9DRW-iF. (See Figure 1-1 for a block diagram of the chipset).
Processors
The X9DRW-iF supports single or dual E5-2600 Series processors in
Socket R LGA2011 type sockets. Please refer to our web site for a complete listing
of supported processors (www.supermicro.com).
Memory
The X9DRW-iF has sixteen (16) quad channel 240-pin DIMM sockets that can
support up to 512 GB of DDR3 1600/1333/1066/800 MHz speed registered
ECC RDIMM/LRDIMM SDRAM in two-channel memory bus. Memory sizes of
1GB, 2GB, 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB @ 1.35V/1.5V voltages are supported.
Please refer to Chapter 5 for installing memory.
Note: LRDIMM (Reduced Load) memory supports only 1333/1066/800 MHz speed
memory.
Serial ATA
An on-chip (Intel PCH 602) SATA controller is integrated into the X9DRW-iF to
provide a six-port SATA subsystem (two SATA 3.0 and four SATA 2.0 ports), which
is RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 (Windows SATA) or RAID 0, 1 and 10 (LINUX) supported.
The SATA drives are hot-swappable units.
Note: You must have RAID set up to enable the hot-swap capability of the SATA
drives. Documentation on RAID setup guidelines can be found on our web site.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-3
Onboard Controllers/Ports
The color-coded I/O ports on the X9DRW-iF include two COM ports (one header
and one port), a VGA (monitor) port, eight USB 2.0 ports (4x rear, 4x header), two
gigabit Ethernet ports and one dedicated IPMI LAN port.
Note 1: For more information on IPMI configuration, please refer to the IPMI User's
Guide posted on our website at http://www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ for
more details.
Graphics Controller
The X9DRW-iF features an integrated Renesas Base-board Controller (BMC) chip,
which also acts as a video controller.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard voltage
monitors, auto-switching voltage regulators, chassis and CPU overheat sensors,
power management, AC power loss recovery, virus protection and BIOS rescue.
1-3 Server Chassis Features
The SuperServer 6017R-WRF/NTF is built upon the SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB
chassis. Details on the chassis and on servicing procedures can be found in Chapter
6.The following is a general outline of the main features of both chassis.
System Power
The SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB features either a redundant 700 Watt power supply
(6017R-WRF server) or a single 600 Watt power supply (6017R-NTF server). The
system does not need to be shut down when replacing or removing a single power
supply module.
Hard Drive Subsystem
The SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB chassis was designed to support four hot-swap
SATA hard drives. (The 6017R-WRF requires a PCI-E controller card - not included
with system.)
Note: For the 6017R-WRF, the hard drives are connected to four onboard SATA
connections from the SCU Controller.

1-4
SUPERSERVER 6017R-WRF/NTF USER'S MANUAL
PCI Expansion Slots
A riser card (RSC-R1UW-2E16-O-P) on the left side of the chassis can support two
PCI-E x16 add-on cards. See our webs site for details (http://www.supermicro.com/
products/info/UIO.cfm). See section 5-6 for further details.
Front Control Panel
The chassis' control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs
indicate system power, HDD activity, network activity (two) and UID/overheat/fan
fail/power fail. A main power button, a system reset button and a UID button are
also included.
I/O Backplane
The SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB is an extended ATX form factor chassis that is
designed to be used in a 1U rackmount configuration. Ports on the I/O backplane
include one COM port, a VGA port, four USB 2.0 ports, two gigabit LAN Ethernet
ports and one dedicated IPMI LAN port. A UID (Unit Identifier) button and LED are
also located beside the VGA port.
Cooling System
The SC815TQ-R700WB/600WB chassis has an innovative cooling design that
features five sets of 4-cm counter-rotating fans located in the middle section of the
chassis. There is a "Fan Speed Control Mode" setting in IPMI that allows chassis
fan speed to be determined by system temperature. The power supply module also
includes a cooling fan.

Chapter 1: Introduction
1-5
1-4 Advanced Power Management
Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager (NM)
The Intel®Intelligent Power Node Manager (IPNM) provides your system with
real-time thermal control and power management for maximum energy efficiency.
Although IPNM Specification Version 1.5 is supported by the BMC (Baseboard
Management Controller), your system must also have IPNM-compatible
Manageability Engine (ME) firmware installed to use this feature.
Manageability Engine (ME)
The Manageability Engine, which is an ARC controller embedded in the IOH (I/O
Hub), provides Server Platform Services (SPS) to your system. The services
provided by SPS are different from those proveded by the ME on client platforms.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6017R-WRF/NTF 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 specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the SuperServer 6017R-WRF/NTF 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
6017R-WRF/NTF. 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 SuperServer 6017R-WRF/NTF 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 6017R-WRF/NTF 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) and 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).

2-4 Warnings and Precautions
Warning! To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a
rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable.
The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in
the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
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
simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
