About This Manual

This manual is written for professional system integrators and PC techni-

cians.  It provides information for the installation and use of the Super-

Server 6021F.  Installation and maintainance should be performed by expe-

rienced technicians only.

The SuperServer 6021F is a high-end dual processor 2U rackmount server

based on the SC822 2U rackmount server chassis and the P3TDE6, a dual

processor motherboard that supports single or dual Intel Pentium

®

 III FCPGA

500 MHz-1.26+ GHz processors and single or dual low power Pentium

®

 III

processors at front bus speeds of 133 and 100 MHz and up to 4 GB

SDRAM main memory.

Manual Organization

Chapter 1:  Introduction

The first chapter provides a checklist of the main components included with

the server system and describes the main features of the SUPER P3TDE6

mainboard and the SC822 chassis, which make up the SuperServer 6021F.

Chapter 2:  Server Installation

This chapter describes the steps necessary to install the SuperServer

6021F into a rack and check out the server configuration prior to powering

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

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

manual for their installation.

Chapter 3:  System Interface

Refer here 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.
