About This Manual

This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC technicians. It

provides information for the installation and use of the SuperServer 6015T-T/6015T-

INF. Installation and maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians

only.

The SuperServer 6015T-T/6015T-INF is a 1U Twin (two serverboards in a 1U chas-

sis) rackmount server based on the SC808T-980 server chassis and two Super

X7DBT-T/X7DBT-INF serverboards. The X7DBT-T/X7DBT-INF supports dual Intel®

Xeon® 5300/5100 Series processors.

Manual Organization

Chapter 1: Introduction

The ﬁ rst chapter provides a checklist of the main components included with the

server system and describes the main features of the Super X7DBT-T/X7DBT-INF

serverboard and the SC808T-980 chassis.

Chapter 2: Server Installation

This chapter describes the steps necessary to install the SuperServer 6015T-

T/6015T-INF into a rack and check out the server conﬁ guration prior to powering

up the system. If your server was ordered without the processor and memory

components, this chapter will refer you to the appropriate sections of the manual

for their installation.

Chapter 3: System Interface

Refer to this chapter for details on the system interface, which includes the functions

and information provided by the control panel on the chassis as well as other LEDs

located throughout the system.
