Chapter 2 System Safety 2-1 Electrical Safety Precautions Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the SuperBlade from damage: • Be aware of how to power on/off the enclosure power supplies and the individual blades as well as the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system. • Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual 2-2 General Safety Precautions Follow these rules to ensure general safety: • Keep the area around the SuperBlade clean and free of clutter. • Place the blade module cover and any system components that have been removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.
Chapter 3 Setup and Installation 3-1 Overview This chapter covers the setup and installation of the blade module and its components. 3-2 Installing Blade Modules Up to fourteen SBI-7426T-S3 blade modules may be installed into a single blade enclosure (depending upon your enclosure and blad). Blade modules with Windows and Linux operating systems may be mixed together in the same blade enclosure.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual NOTE: Blade Modules can be Hot-Plugged from the enclosure. Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover The blade cover must be removed to access the mainboard when you need to install or remove processors, memory units, the onboard battery and so on. Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover 1. Remove the blade unit from the enclosure (see "Removing a Blade Unit from the Enclosure" above). 2.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation Figure 3-1. Inserting a Blade into the Enclosure Figure 3-2.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual 3-3 Processor Installation One or two processors may be installed to the mainboard of each blade unit. See Chapter 1 for general information on the features of the blade unit and the Supermicro web site for further details including processor, memory and operating system support. WARNING: This action should only be performed by a trained service technician. Allow the processor heatsink to cool before removing it. Removing a Processor 1.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation 8. Place the heatsink on the processor then tighten two diagonal screws until snug, then the other two screws. 9. When all four screws are snug, tighten them all to secure the heatsink to the mainboard. NOTE: Do not overtighten the screws as this may damage the processor or the heatsink. 10. Replace the cover on the blade unit and finish by installing the unit back into the blade enclosure. Figure 3-3.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual Figure 3-4. Installing the Onboard Battery Lithium Battery Battery Holder 3-5 Memory Installation The mainboard of each blade unit must be populated with DIMMs (Dual In-line Memory Modules) to provide system memory. The DIMMs should all be of the same size and speed and from the same manufacturer due to compatibility issues. See details below on supported memory and our web site (www.supermicro.com/products/ superblade for recommended memory.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation NOTE: The DIMM slot number specified in Table 3-1 equals the DIMM slot to be populated. A “---” indicates that the DIMM slot should be left unpopulated. NOTE: Though multiple DIMM memory module types and speeds may be supported, you need to use DIMM memory modules of the same speed and type. Figure 3-5.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual DIMM Installation WARNING: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to prevent any possible damage. Installing DIMM Memory Modules 1. Power down the blade module (see "Powering Down a Blade Unit" on page 3-1). 2. Remove the blade from the enclosure and the cover from the blade (see "Removing/Replacing the Blade Cover" on page 3-2). 3. Remove the air shroud that covers the DIMM slots. 4.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation 3-6 Hard Disk Drive Installation Hard disk drives are installed in “carriers” which are hot-swappable and can be removed or replaced without powering down the blade unit they reside in. A blade module needs a hard disk drive with an operating system installed to operate. WARNING: To maintain proper airflow, both hard drive bays must have drive carriers inserted during operation whether or not a drive is installed in the carrier.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual Figure 3-7.
Chapter 3: Setup and Installation 3-7 Installing the Operating System An operating system (OS) must be installed on each blade module. Blades with Microsoft Windows OS and blades with Linux OS can both occupy and operate within the same blade enclosure. Refer to the SuperMicro web site for a complete list of supported operating systems. There are several methods of installing an OS to the blade modules.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual Notes Installing via Virtual Media (Drive Redirection) You can install the OS via Virtual Media through either the IPMIview (Java based client utility), IPMItool or the Web-based Management Utility. With this method, the OS is installed from an ISO image that resides on another system/blade. Refer to the manuals on your Superblade CD-ROM for further details on the Virtual Media (CD-ROM or Drive Redirection) sections of these two utility programs.
Chapter 4 Blade Module Features Figure 4-1. SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module Front View This chapter describes the SBI-7426T-S3 blade module.

SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual 4-1 Control Panel Each blade has a similar control panel (Figure 4-2) with power on/off button, a KVM connector, a KVM button and four LEDs on the top front of the unit. The numbers mentioned in Figure 4-2are described in Table 4-2. Figure 4-2. Blade Control Panel 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 Table 4-2.
Chapter 4: Blade Module Features Power Button Each blade has its own power button so that individual blade units within the enclosure may be turned on or off independently of the others. Press the power button (#1) to turn on the blade server. The power LED (#3) will turn green. To turn off, press and hold the power button for >4 seconds and the power LED will turn orange. KVM Button KVM stands for Keyboard/Video/Mouse. With KVM, a user can control multiple blades with a single keyboard/video/mouse setup.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual 4-2 Mainboard The mainboard of the SBI-7426T-S3 blade unit is a proprietary design, which is based on the Intel 5500 Tylersburg chipset. See Figure 4-4 for a block diagram of this chipset, Figure 4-3 for a view of the B8DT6 Mainboard and Figure 4-5 for an exploded view diagram of the blade unit. Figure 4-3.
Chapter 4: Blade Module Features Table 4-4.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual Jumpers The jumpers present on the mainboard are used by the manufacturer only; there are no jumpers used to configure the operation of the mainboard. CMOS Clear JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. JBT1 consists of two contact pads located near the BIOS chip (#12 in Figure 4-5). Clearing CMOS 1. First power down the blade and remove it from the enclosure. 2.

SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual Memory Support The SBI-7426T-S3 blade module supports up to 96 GB/24 GB of VLP ECC Registered/ Unbuffered ECC DDR3-1333/1066/800 SDRAM in twelve DIMM sockets. See Section 3-5 for further details on mainboard memory installation. Hard Disk Drives The SBI-7426T-S3 blade unit accommodates up to three 2.5" SAS2/SATA hard disk drives, which are mounted in drive “carriers”.
Chapter 5 RAID Setup Procedure Each SBI-7426T-S3 blade module supports three hard drives, which may be used to create a RAID array. For the blade’s B8DT6 mainboard when using SATA drives, use the BIOS setup to configure for either the Intel or Adaptec RAID controller and utility: use the Intel driver for Windows and the Adaptec driver for Linux - both are included on the CD that ships with the system.
SBI-7426T-S3 Blade Module User’s Manual WARNING: Do not interrupt the creation of a RAID 0 using the MIGRATE option. If you do, you will not be able to restart or to recover the data that was on the source drive. 5-1 BIOS Configuration Utilities The SBI-7426T-S3 blade module uses either a Intel or Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility to do the final RAID configuration on your system when using SATA drives. The choice depends upon which configuration utility you chose in the BIOS setup.
Chapter 5: RAID Setup Procedure 5-2 BIOS Setup Use the BIOS setup when using SATA drives to configure for either the Intel or Adaptec RAID Utility and to set other RAID options. The BIOS setup procedure is shown below. See Chapter 6 for information on using your system’s BIOS setup. Setting up the BIOS for RAID 1. In the ADVANCED SETTINGS screen of the BIOS Setup, select the IDE CONFIGURATION sub-menu (Figure 5-1) and press ENTER. Figure 5-1.
