Workstation Installation
2.1 Overview
This chapter provides advice and instructions for rack or workstation installation. If your system
is not already fully integrated with processors, system memory, etc., refer to for
Chapter 3
details on installing those specic components.
Caution: Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent such
damage to PCBs (printed circuit boards), it is important to use a grounded wrist strap, handle
all PCBs by their edges and keep them in anti-static bags when not in use.
2.2 Unpacking the System
Inspect the box in which the SuperWorkstation 530A-IL was shipped, and note if it was
damaged in any way. If any equipment appears damaged, le a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the workstation. It should be
situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. It will also require a grounded AC power outlet
nearby. Be sure to read the precautions and considerations noted in Appendix A.
2.3 Preparing for Setup
Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation.
Choosing a Setup Location
• The system should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas
where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated.
• Leave enough clearance in front and back of the system to allow sucient airow and
access when servicing.
• This product is not suitable for use with visual display workplace devices according to §2
of the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

19
Chapter 2: Workstation Installation
Workstation Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Appendix A.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the workstation from power
surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.
• Allow the power supply unit to cool before touching them.
• To maintain proper cooling, always keep all chassis panels closed when not being serviced.

3.3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
• Use ESD protection.
• Unplug the AC power cord from the power supply after shutting down the system.
• Check that the plastic protective cover is on the CPU socket and none of the socket pins
are bent. If they are, contact your retailer.
• When handling the processor, avoid touching or placing direct pressure on the LGA lands
(gold contacts). Improper installation or socket misalignment can cause serious damage
to the processor or CPU socket, which may require manufacturer repairs.
• Thermal grease is pre-applied on a new heatsink. No additional thermal grease is needed.
• Refer to the Supermicro website for updates on processor support.
• All graphics in this manual are for illustrations only. Your components may look dierent.

3.4 Memory
The X12SAE-5 supports up to 128GB of DDR4 unbuered DIMM (UDIMM) ECC/non-ECC
with speeds of up to 3200MHz.
Note: Check the Supermicro website for recommended memory modules.
Important: Exercise extreme care when installing or removing DIMM modules to pre vent
any possible damage.
General Guidelines for Optimizing Memory Performance
• When installing memory modules, the DIMM slots should be populated in the following
order: DIMMA2, DIMMB2, then DIMMA1, DIMMB1.
• For optimal performance, use DDR4 memory of the same type, size, and speed.
• Mixed DIMM speeds can be installed. However, all DIMMs will run at the speed of the
slowest DIMM.
• The motherboard supports odd-numbered modules (one or three modules installed).
However, to achieve the best memory performance, a balanced memory population is
recommended.

including boot devices such as CD.
2. Cable connection: Check to make sure that all cables are connected and working properly.
3. Using the minimum conguration for troubleshooting: Remove all unnecessary components
(starting with add-on cards rst), and use the minimum conguration (but with a CPU and a
memory module installed) to identify the trouble areas. Refer to the steps listed in Section
A above for proper troubleshooting procedures.
4. Identifying bad components by isolating them: If necessary, remove a component in
question from the chassis, and test it in isolation to make sure that it works properly.
Replace a bad component with a good one.
5. Check and change one component at a time instead of changing several items at the same
time. This will help isolate and identify the problem.
6. To nd out if a component is good, swap this component with a new one to see if the
system will work properly. If so, then the old component is bad. You can also install the
component in question in another system. If the new system works, the component is good
and the old system has problems.

7.3 BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time the system
is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the boot-up
process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up procedure. If
a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps. The table
below lists some common errors and their corresponding beep codes encountered by users.
BIOS Error Beep (POST) Codes
Beep Code Error Message Description
1 short Refresh Circuits have been reset (Ready to power up)
5 short, 1 long Memory error No memory detected in the system
5 long, 2 short Display memory read/write error Video adapter missing or with faulty memory
1 long continuous System OH System overheat condition
Additional BIOS POST Codes
The AMI BIOS supplies additional checkpoint codes, which are documented online at
http:// www.supermicro.com/support/manuals/ ("AMI BIOS POST Codes User's Guide").
When BIOS performs the Power On Self Test, it writes checkpoint codes to I/O port 0080h.
If the computer cannot complete the boot process, a diagnostic card can be attached to the
computer to read I/O port 0080h (Supermicro p/n AOC-LPC80-20).
For information on AMI updates, please refer to http://www.ami.com/products/.

7.4 UEFI BIOS Recovery
Warning: Do not upgrade the BIOS unless your system has a BIOS-related issue. Flashing
the wrong BIOS can cause irreparable damage to the system. In no event shall Supermicro
be liable for direct, indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages arising from a BIOS
update. If you do update the BIOS, do not shut down or reset the system while the BIOS is
updating to avoid possible boot failure.
Overview
The Unied Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) provides a software-based interface
between the operating system and the platform rmware in the pre-boot environment. The
UEFI specication supports an architecture-independent mechanism that will allow the UEFI
OS loader stored in an add-on card to boot the system. The UEFI oers clean, hands-o
management to a computer during system boot.
Recovering the UEFI BIOS Image
A UEFI BIOS ash chip consists of a recovery BIOS block and a main BIOS block (a main
BIOS image). The recovery block contains critical BIOS codes, including memory detection
and recovery codes for the user to ash a healthy BIOS image if the original main BIOS image
is corrupted. When the system power is turned on, the recovery block codes execute rst.
Once this process is complete, the main BIOS code will continue with system initialization
and the remaining POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines.
Note 1: Follow the BIOS recovery instructions below for BIOS recovery when the main BIOS
block crashes.
Note 2: When the BIOS recovery block crashes, you will need to follow the procedures
to make a Returned Merchandise Authorization (RMA) request. Also, you may use the
Supermicro Update Manager (SUM) Out-of-Band (https://www.supermicro.com/products/nfo/
SMS_SUM.cfm) to reash the BIOS.
Recovering the Main BIOS Block with a USB Device
This feature allows the user to recover the main BIOS image using a USB-attached device
without additional utilities used. A USB ash device such as a USB Flash Drive, or a USB
CD/DVD ROM/RW device can be used for this purpose. However, a USB Hard Disk drive
cannot be used for BIOS recovery at this time.
The le system supported by the recovery block is FAT (including FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32)
which is installed on a bootable or non-bootable USB-attached device. However, the BIOS
might need several minutes to locate the SUPER.ROM le if the media size becomes too
large due to the huge volumes of folders and les stored in the device.
To perform UEFI BIOS recovery using a USB-attached device, follow the instructions below.

70
Chapter 7: Troubleshooting and Support
1. Using a dierent machine, copy the "Super.ROM" binary image le into the Root "\" directory
of a USB device or a writable CD/DVD.
Note 1: If you cannot locate the "Super.ROM" le in your drive disk, visit our website at
www.supermicro.com to download the BIOS package. Extract the BIOS binary image into
a USB ash device and rename it "Super.ROM" for the BIOS recovery use.
Note 2: Before recovering the main BIOS image, conrm that the "Super.ROM" binary
image le you download is the same version or a close version meant for your motherboard.
2. Insert the USB device that contains the new BIOS image ("Super.ROM") into your USB
drive and reset the system when the following screen appears.
3. After locating the healthy BIOS binary image, the system will enter the BIOS Recovery
menu as shown below.
