Memory
The X6DH8-G2/X6DHE-G2 has eight 240-pin DIMM slots that can support up
to 16 GB of registered ECC DDR2-400 SDRAM. The memory is an inter-
leaved configuration, which requires modules of the same size and speed
to be installed in pairs.
Onboard SCSI (6024H-82R/6024H-82 only)
Onboard SCSI is provided with an Adaptec AIC-7902 SCSI chip, which sup-
ports dual channel, Ultra320 SCSI at a throughput of 320 MB/sec for each
channel. The X6DH8-G2 provides two LVD Ultra320 SCSI ports.
Onboard Controllers/Ports
One floppy drive controller and two onboard ATA/100 controllers are pro-
vided to support up to four hard drives or ATAPI devices. The color-coded
I/O ports include one COM port (an additional COM header is located on the
serverboard), a VGA (monitor) port, a parallel port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/
2 mouse and keyboard ports and two G-bit Ethernet ports.

1-3
Chapter 1: Introduction
ATI Graphics Controller
The X6DH8-G2/X6DHE-G2 features an integrated ATI video controller based
on the Rage XL graphics chip. Rage XL fully supports sideband addressing
and AGP texturing. This onboard graphics package can provide a band-
width of up to 512 MB/sec over a 32-bit graphics memory bus.
Other Features
Other onboard features that promote system health include onboard 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 SuperServer 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 is a high-end, scaleable
server platform. The following is a general outline of the main features of
the SC823S-R500RC/SC823S-550LP/SC823i-550LP server chassis.
System Power
6024H-82R: the SC823S-R500RC features a redundant 500W power supply
that consists of two separate power supply modules. Under normal opera-
tion, both modules share the load and run continuously. If one fails, the
other module will pick up the load and keep the system running without
interruption. A failed power supply module will illuminate the power fail
LED. The power supply modules are hot-swappable, so you don't have to
power down the system to replace a module.
6024H-82/6024H-i2: the SC823S-550LP/SC823i-550LP features a single
550W power supply. Power must be removed from the system before
servicing or replacing this power supply.
SCSI Subsystem (6024H-82R/6024H-82 only)
The SCSI subsystem supports up to six 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard
drives. Any standard 1" drives are supported. SCA = Single Connection
Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to an SCA backplane with
SAF-TE. The SCSI drives are also hot-swap units. A RAID controller card
can be used with the SCA backplane to provide data security.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the
hot-swap capability of the SCSI drives.

SUPERSERVER 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 User's Manual
PCI Expansion Slots
Included with the 6024H-82R is the CSE-RR2UE-AX riser card, which sup-
ports the use of one standard size 133 MHz PCI-X and two standard size
100 MHz PCI-X cards. The CSE-RR2UE-AX riser card plugs into an x8 PCI-
Express slot on the serverboard.
The 6024H-82/6024H-i2 does not include a riser card but instead supports
the use of low profile, full-length cards, which are plugged directly into their
respective slots on the serverboard: two x8 PCI-Express, one x4 PCI-Ex-
press, one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X and two 64-bit 100 MHz PCI-X (one 100
MHz PCI slot supports Zero Channel RAID).
Front Control Panel
The SuperServer 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2's control panel provides
you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate system power, HDD
activity, network activity, system overheat and power supply failure (this
last LED is for the 6024H-82R only). A main power button and a system
reset button are also included.
I/O Backplane
The SC823S-R500RC/SC823S-550LP/SC823i-550LP is an ATX form factor
chassis that is designed to be used in a 2U rackmount configuration. Ports
on the I/O backplane include one COM port, a parallel port, a VGA port, two
USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and two gigabit Ethernet
ports.
Cooling System
The SC823S-R500RC/SC823S-550LP/SC823i-550LP chassis has an innova-
tive cooling design that includes four 8-cm hot-plug system cooling fans
located in the middle section of the chassis. An air shroud channels the air
flow from these fans to efficiently cool the processor area of the system.
The power supply module(s) also includes a cooling fan. There is an "Auto
Fan Control" setting in BIOS that allows chassis fan speed to be controlled
by varying the DC voltage.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your SuperServer
6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 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 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2
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 deliv-
ered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the SuperServer
6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2. 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 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 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. Fol-
low 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 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 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 (dedi-
cated 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 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 hot plug SCSI drives and power supply units 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.

Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating
temperature 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 temperature (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 con-
nections 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 SuperServer 6024H-82R/
6024H-82/6024H-i2 into a rack unit. If the 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2
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. The following is a guideline for
installing the 6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2 into a rack with the rack rails
provided. 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 with the SuperServer
6024H-82R/6024H-82/6024H-i2. Each of these assemblies consist of two
sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6024H-82R/6024H-
82/6024H-i2 (A) and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself (B). All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps
should be included in the hardware kit. To remove the fixed chassis rail
(A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a
locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail.
Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for
both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.
