1 Setting up the System

Server Position

Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer:

The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms with humidity over 70% , and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not expose the server to any temperatures over +30^ or under +10^ .
Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.
Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip hazards.
When you save data to your server's hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or electromagnetic fields.
Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.
Please take care to ensure a free air flow to the server at all times. Do not block the ventilation slots of the server case and particularly the power supplies. An insufficient air flow may damage the server and / or it's components.

RAID Support

The server system supports embedded SAS RAID through the active midplane. The midplane comprises a Intel® 80333 I/O Processor at 500 MHz and a LSI SAS1068 controller chip.

The combination of RAID Activation Key and 128 MB registered DDR-2 Mini DIMM for RAID cache enables a full featured SAS RAID solution (RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50). The RAID Activation Key requires the DIMM option.

With the RAID Activation Key installed, press <Ctrl> + <G> to start the Intel® BIOS Console 2 utility. Start the configuration wizard to configure arrays and logical drives.

Without RAID Activation Key LSI MPT SAS BIOS can be configured through the LSI Logic Config Utility. To enter the utility, press <Ctrl> + <C> when prompted. RAID configuration is not supported.

Hardware Requirements

Processor

One or two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® 5000 sequence processors must be installed.

Memory

The server board provides eight DIMM sockets across two branches, and each branch has two channels. The DIMM configuration is shown in the following figure.

MAXDATA PLATINUM 1600 IR M1 - Memory - 1
Figure 7. DIMM Configuration Diagram

DIMMs must be populated in pairs across consecutive channels starting with the lowest numbered slot in each channel. Slots A1 and B1 are paired, followed by slots C1 and D1. For performance reasons, when configuring four DIMMs, DIMM pairs A2 and B2 should never be populated before DIMM pair C1 and D1. A four DIMM configuration should be populated as A1 and B1; C1 and D1.

In non-mirrored mode, all DIMMs with the same slot number within a given branch must match (size, technology, manufacturer). It is not required to match DIMMs between different slot numbers.

DIMMs must meet the following requirements:

  • Use only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD) with DDR2 DRAM technology.
  • Use only FBD DDR2-533 and FBD DDR2-667 stacked DIMM modules.

In determining your memory requirements, the need for memory sparing or memory mirroring must be considered.

Memory Sparing and Mirroring

The chipset includes hardware that supports memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing. Both memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing provide a way to prevent data loss in case a DIMM fails.

In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory, with a minimum of four DIMMs installed. Since the data is duplicated across DIMMs, it means that up to one-half of the installed DIMMs are actively in use at any one time. The remaining DIMMs are used for mirroring.

Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at a time.

Optional Hardware

Remote Management Module

The Remote Management Module is available to provide advanced server manangement features.

One 10/100 Mbps NIC mezzanine card is included for dedicated remote access.

Replacing the Backup Battery

The lithium battery on the server board powers the RTC for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the server settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.

WARNING

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

!WARNING

  1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions.
  2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
  3. Disconnect the AC power cord(s) from the server.
  4. Remove the server's cover and locate the battery. See the documentation that accompanied your server chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover.
  5. Insert the tip of a small flat bladed screwdriver, or an equivalent, under the tab in the plastic retainer. Gently push down on the screwdriver to lift the battery.

5 Server Utilities

Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server configuration defaults.

Starting Setup

You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:

  • When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test
  • When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the "Clear CMOS" position (enabled)

In the two conditions listed above, during the Power On Self Test (POST), you will see this prompt:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not the <F2> prompt:

Warning: CMOS checksum invalid

Warning: CMOS time and date not set

In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.

If You Cannot Access Setup

If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For instructions on clearing the CMOS, see “Clearing the CMOS”.

Setup Menus

Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.

Table 4 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup menus.
Table 4. Keyboard Commands

PressDescription
<F1>Help - Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window.
← →The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Select Item up -The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the selected item.
Select Item down -The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the selected item.
F5/-Change Value -The minus key or the F5 function key is used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
F6/+Change Value -The plus key or the F6 function key is used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect.
<Enter>Execute Command -The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
<Esc>Exit -The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
<F9>Setup Defaults - Pressing F9 causes the following to appear: Setup Confirmation Load default configuration now? [Yes] [No] If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F9 was pressed without affecting any existing field values.
<F10>Save and Exit - Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear: Setup Confirmation Save Configuration changes and exit now? [Yes] [No] If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F10 was pressed without affecting any existing values.

Clearing the Password

If the user or administrator password(s) is lost or forgotten, moving the password clear jumper into the "clear" position clears both passwords. The password clear jumper must be restored to its original position before a new password(s) can be set. The password clear jumper is shown in figure 6.

  1. Power down the system and disconnect the AC power.
  2. Open the server chassis.
  3. Move the jumper from the normal operation position, Password Clear Protect, at pins 1 and 2 to the Password Clear Erase position, covering pins 2 and 3.
