Processors

The PLATINUM 7200 IR Server supports from one to four 64-bit Intel® Xeon™ processors MP (7x00 sequence).

System Memory

The memory boards connect to the main board through x16 PCI Express connectors. One to four memory boards can be installed, two on each side of the system. Memory board baffles are not needed for empty memory board slots, but DIMM blanks are required for each socket on each memory board in which a DIMM is not installed.

Figure 5. Memory Boards

Each memory board has these features:

Supports up to eight FBD Generation-1 DIMMs
Supports FBD speeds of 533MT/s (4-4-4, 5-5-5 latencies) and 667MT/s (5-5-5 latency)
Supports FBDIMM configurations of x8, x4, single, dual-rank DDR2 DRAMs
Supports DDR2 DRAM technologies of 512 Mbit, 1 Gbit, and 2 Gbit
Supports Closed Loop Thermal Throttling with FBDIMM AMB temperature sensors
- LED fault indicators for each DIMM
One field replaceable unit (FRU) EEPROM
Supports memory mirroring and memory sparing

See "Memory Board" for additional information.

Available Memory Configurations

The BIOS configures the system memory into the best possible configuration after comparing the current FBDIMM population with the desired memory configuration selected by the user in BIOS Setup. Possible configurations are:

• Dual-channel Mode (Maximum Performance Mode): The default setting providing the highest system performance and increased FBD bandwidth. This requires each lock-stepped pair of FBDIMMs on a branch to be identical. A lock-stepped FBDIMM pair is defined as the FBDIMMs installed in identically numbered FBDIMM sockets on both memory riser boards (channels) on a given Memory Branch.
• Single-channel Mode: A failsafe mode when the installed memory configuration is incompatible with dual-channel operation. In single-channel mode, only Branch 0, Channel 0 is operational with all other FBDIMMs disabled automatically.

• DIMM Sparing Mode: Only supported in a lock-stepped (dual-channel) configuration. DIMM Sparing is the use of a lock-stepped FBDIMM rank on a memory branch to provide a backup in case any other lock-stepped FBDIMM rank on the same branch exceeds a user-selectable Memory ECC Correctable Error threshold in a fixed time period. This failure prediction mechanism allows the system to automatically:

• Copy the contents of a failing FBDIMM rank to a backup or spare FBDIMM rank

• Disable the failing FBDIMM rank

These actions are completed before the FBDIMM rank begins to generate more serious memory ECC uncorrectable errors that would bring down the system by corrupting memory.

• Memory Mirroring Mode: Memory Mirroring is a high availability mode providing a redundant image of the system memory. This image allows the system to continue operating if memory ECC uncorrectable errors would otherwise bring down the system in another memory configuration.

Power Subsystem

The power subsystem consists of the following:

• Power supply modules
  The Power Distribution Board

The power subsystem can be configured with two power supply modules installed for 1 + 1 redundancy at 220 VAC.

Power Supply Modules

The output rating of the power supply is 1570 W when operated between 180 VAC and 264 VAC. It is a current-sharing power supply with auto-ranging input. The power supply is approximately 7.75 inches wide by 14.5 inches deep by 1.47 inches high. The power supply modules have universal AC input with Power Factor Correction (PFC) Distributed Power Supplies (DPS). The AC input receptacle is an IEC-320 C14.

The power supply has two DC outputs: 12 V and 3.3 VSB. The 12 V main power is distributed through the server and is converted locally at the point-of-load using embedded VRM converters. The power supply is capable of power-safe monitoring.

In an N + 1 configuration, the 12 VDC outputs have active (forced) current sharing. The two externally enabled outputs have the following maximum ratings:

+12 VDC: 121 A
+3.3 VDCSB: 5 A

Each power supply module requires one power cord to supply AC power to the system. When two power supply modules and two power cords are installed, the system supports (1 + 1) power cord redundancy. This feature allows the system to be powered by two separate AC sources. In the 1 + 1 configuration, the system continues to operate, without interruption, if one of the AC sources fails.

Each power supply module has three status LEDs. These are located next to the input connector, as shown by the following figure.

Figure 6. Power Supply Indicators

Table 6. Power Supply Indicators

Location	Purpose	Description
A (left)	Power Good LED (green)	This green LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit whenever the power is turned on.
B (center)	Fault LED (amber)	This amber LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit when a power rail has failed. The LED is lit even if the power supply is in a latched state. The only time (during a fault) when it is not lit is if the +3.3 VSB is lost. The LED is not lit when the power supply is turned off by powering down the platform.
C (right)	AC OK LED (green)	This green LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit whenever the AC power cord is plugged in to an active AC power source.

Cooling Subsystem

CAUTION

The chassis top cover must be installed for proper system cooling. Cooling components must be hot-swapped within two minutes. This time period applies only to the time that the cooling component is physically removed, not from the time of failure.

The cooling subsystem consists of hot-swap, redundant (7 + 1) fans. In a redundant configuration, the system supports one fault at a time, either one fan fault or one power supply fault, and it supports hot-swapping one component at a time. If a cooling component fails, the system cooling is maintained and the system continues to operate while the component is hot-swapped.

Each front fan assembly has one status LED. The LED is off when both fans are operating normally. The LED illuminate amber if one or both of the fans fails. Failed front fans can be hot-swapped from the front of the system.

Each rear fan has one status LED. The LED is off when the fan is operating normally and illuminates amber if the fan fails. Failed rear fans can be replaced from the top of the system when the top cover is removed.

Figure 7. Rear Fan Locations

For proper processor cooling, the processor duct must always be in place. Systems that are configured with fewer than four processors should have processor blanks installed to maintain proper cooling.

Hot-swap PCI Slots

The two hot plug PCI slots have power and attention LEDs. The attention button is used to invoke a hot-plug sequence to remove or add an adapter without having to use the software interface. They are identified by the green arrow on the PCI divider label. The status of the LEDs is shown in Table 7 and Table 8.

Table 7. Power Indicator

Green Power LED State	Definition
Off	Power off: Power has been removed from the slot. A card can be inserted or removed.
On	Power on: The slot is powered on. A card cannot be inserted or removed.
Blinking	Power transition: The slot is in the process of powering up or down. A card cannot be inserted or removed.

Table 8. Attention Indicator

Amber Attention LED State	Definition
Off	Normal: Normal operation
On	Attention: Power fault or operational problem has occurred with this slot.
Blinking	Locate: The slot is being identified at the user’s request.

NOTE

If you hot-remove a PCI card without following the proper procedure, power will automatically be turned off to the slot.

I/O Riser Board (optional)

The I/O riser board is a vertical riser that provides advanced server management with a dedicated maintenance Ethernet port, and additional dual-gigabit Ethernet ports.

The Remote Management Module 2 (RMM2) and RMM2 NIC plug into the I/O riser board to provide an upgrade path to advanced server management capabilities. When the optional RMM2 is installed, the original set of server management features continue to work and additional functionality is available. This functionality seamlessly integrates into the server, with respect to configuration functions and software support.

The RMM2 supports keyboard, mouse, video redirect, and media redirect functionality, which lets the user use the remote system to control the host server.

The Intel 82575EB PCI Express-based Ethernet controller provides advanced networking control and capability with dual-gigabit Ethernet ports. This controller hosts the Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology II (Intel® I/OAT2) capability that provides optimization of the TCP flow. The Intel® I/O riser provides an option to disable Gbit port A and / or port B in the BIOS. Server management traffic over these ports is not supported. For management traffic, use the main board LAN ports.

Powering On the Server

Press the power button on the front control panel. The fans start and POST begins.

NOTE

It might take three minutes or longer for video to be displayed, depending on the amount of memory installed.

The server attempts to boot from the first device on the list of available devices in the boot manager. If this device is not available, it will move to the second device. It continues down the list until it reaches the first available device.

Press F2 during POST to enter the BIOS setup utility. This utility also contains a boot manager that allows to select a boot device for immediate boot.

Shutting Down the Server

1. Exit the operating system (if applicable)
2. Press and hold the power button until the server shuts down.

CAUTION

Powering down the server with the power button does not remove all power from the system. The +3.3V standby power is still available to the system even when it is not running. To remove standby power from the system, unplug all power cords from the system and unplug the power supplies. If you do not unplug the power supplies, standby power may be held up by the integrated capacitors for more than 10 minutes.

4 Server Platform Utilities

BIOS Setup Utility

The BIOS Setup Utility is a text-based utility that allows you to configure the system and view and change device settings and view environmental information for the platform. The BIOS Setup Utility interface consists of several screens, called pages. Each page contains information or links to other pages. The first page in Setup displays links for general categories. These links lead to pages containing specific configuration settings.

The BIOS Setup Utility is functional through console redirection over various terminal emulation standards. This may limit some functionality due to compatibility. For example, colors, some keys or key sequences, and mouse support may be limited.

To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, press <F2> when prompted during POST to access the Systems Options Menu.

BIOS Setup Utility Page Layout

The BIOS Setup Utility page layout is sectioned into functional areas. The following table lists and describes the functional areas and their position on the screen.

Table 12. BIOS Setup Utility Page Layout

Functional Area	Description
Menu Selection Bar	The Menu Selection Bar is located at the top of the screen. It displays the major menu selections available.
Setup Item List	The Setup Item List is a set of configurable and informational items. The left column shows the setup item. The right column shows the corresponding option. The option contains an informational value or possible settings for the setup item.
Item Specific Help Area	The Item Specific Help area is located on the right side of the screen and contains help text for the highlighted Setup Item. Help information includes the meaning and usage of the item, allowable values, and the affects of the options.
Keyboard Command Area	The Keyboard Command Bar is located at the bottom of the screen and displays help for keyboard special keys and navigation keys. The keyboard command bar is context-sensitive. It displays keys relevant to the current page and mode.
Status Bar	The Status Bar is on the bottom line of the screen. The status value “NV” indicates you have made changes to Setup that have not been saved.

Keyboard Commands

The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used to navigate through the BIOS Setup Utility. These commands are context sensitive.

The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following key presses:

Table 13. BIOS Setup: Keyboard Commands

Key	Option	Description
<Enter>	Execute Command	The <Enter> key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to display a pick list if a selected option 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 select the currently highlighted item, undo the pick list, and return the focus to 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 sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the <Esc> key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and you are asked whether changes can be discarded. If “No” is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, you are returned to where you were before <Esc> was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If “Yes” is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with POST.
Up Arrow	Select Item	The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous option in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the <Enter> key.
Down arrow	Select Item	The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item's option list, or a value field's pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the <Enter> key.
Left and Right Arrow	Select Menu	The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a sub-menu or pick list is displayed.
<Tab>	Select Field	The <Tab> key is used to move between fields. For example, <Tab> can be used to move from hours to minutes in the time item in the main menu.
<>	Change Value	The minus key on the keypad 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. This key only works for date and time.
<++>	Change Value	The plus key on the keypad 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 will have the same effect. This key only works for date and time.
<F9>	Setup Defaults	Pressing <F9> causes the following to appear: Load default configuration now? (Y/N) If the "Y" key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If the "N" key is pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, you are returned to where you were before <F9> was pressed without affecting any existing field values
<F10>	Save and Exit	Pressing <F10> causes the following message to appear: Save Configuration changes and exit now? (Y/N) If the "Y" key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If the "N" key is pressed, or the <Esc> key is pressed, you are returned to where you were before <F10> was pressed without affecting any existing values.

Each Setup Utility menu page contains a number of features. Some features are used for informative purposes only, and other features are associated with a value field that you can configure. Depending on the security option chosen and in effect, a menu feature's value may be changeable. If a value cannot be changed, the feature's value field is inaccessible.

Console Redirection

The BIOS supports redirection of both video and keyboard through a serial link (COM port). When console redirection is enabled, local (host server) keyboard input and video output are passed both to the local keyboard and video connections and to the remote console via the serial link. Keyboard inputs from both sources are considered valid and video is displayed to both outputs. With console redirection, the system can be operated without a host keyboard or monitor attached to the system and run entirely via the remote console. Setup and any other text-based utilities can be accessed via console redirection.

Serial Configuration Settings

When redirecting through a modem (as opposed to a null modem cable), the modem needs to be configured with the following:

• Auto-answer (for example, ATS0 = 2 , to answer after two rings).
• Modem reaction to DTR set to return to command state (e.g., AT&D1).

Failure to provide the second item will result in the modem either dropping the link when the server reboots (as in AT&D0) or becoming unresponsive to server baud rate changes (as in AT&D2).

The option for handshaking must be set to RTS/CTS + CD for optimum performance. The CD refers to carrier detect. If EMP is sharing the COM port with serial redirection, the handshaking must be set to Xon/Xoff + CD. In selecting this form of handshaking, the server is prevented from sending video updates to a modem that is not connected to a remote modem. If this is not selected, video update data being sent to the modem inhibits many modems from answering an incoming call. An EMP option utilizing CD should not be used if a modem is not used and the CD is not connected.

Both EMP and console redirection require N, 8, 1 mode (no parity, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit).

The BIOS does not require that the splash logo be turned off for console redirection to function. The BIOS supports multiple consoles, some of which are in graphics mode and some in text mode. The graphics consoles can display the logo while the text consoles receive the redirected text.

The console redirection ends at the beginning of the Legacy OS boot (INT 19h).

Keystroke Mappings

During console redirection, the remote terminal (which may be a dumb terminal or a system with a modem running a communication program) sends keystrokes to the local server. The local server passes video back over this same link. The keystroke mappings follow VT-UTF8 format with the following extensions.

Setup Alias Keys

The and -- combinations are synonyms for the or "Setup" key. These are not prompted for in screen messages. These hotkeys are defined only for Console Redirection support, and are not used on locally attached keyboards.

Limitations

BIOS Console redirection terminates after an EFI-aware operating system calls EFI Boot Service ExitBootServices. The operating system is responsible for continuing the Console Redirection after that point. BIOS console redirection is a text console and any graphical data such as a logo are not redirected.

Interface to Server Management

If BIOS determines that console redirection is enabled, it passes the baud rate through the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB) to the appropriate management controller.

Sample Setup for Console Redirection

Below is an example of how to configure the console/host and server for console redirection. In this example, the console is running under Microsoft® Windows®. The console and server is directly connected through the serial ports of both systems using a serial null modem cable:

Server Configuration

1. Power on the server.
2. When prompted, press the <F2> key to enter BIOS Setup.
3. The BIOS Setup menu displays the Main menu. Use the arrow keys move to the Server Management menu.
4. At the Server Management menu, select Console Redirect.
5. Select Serial B Console Redirect.
6. Set Console Redirect to "Enabled".
7. Set the Bit Rate to "115.2K".
8. Set the Flow Control to "RTS/CTS".
9. Set the Terminal Type to "PC-ANSI".
10. Press the key.
11. At the prompt to save changes and exit BIOS Setup, select "Yes" and press the key.
12. The server reboots and console redirection is enabled.
13. Power down the server and configure the console.

Console Configuration

1. Boot the console into the operating system.
2. Click the Start button in the task bar.
3. Select Programs > Accessories > Communications and click "Hyperterminal".
4. At the Connection Description window, enter "guest" for the name and click "Ok".
5. At the Connect To window, select the COM port of the console that the Null modem is connected. In this example, it is COM1.
6. At the COM1 Properties window, select "115200" in the Bits per second (Baud rate) box to match what was configured on the server.
7. Select "Hardware" for the Flow Control to match what was configured in the BIOS Setup (CTS/RTS is the hardware flow control).
8. Leave the default settings for the other boxes. Click "Ok" to accept the settings and enter the Hyperterminal screen.
9. Power on the server. The console starts displaying the redirection once the video synchronizes on the server.

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell

The EFI shell application allows other EFI applications to be launched, EFI device drivers to be loaded, and operating systems to be booted. The combination of the EFI firmware and the EFI Shell provides an environment that can be modified and adapted to many hardware configurations.

The EFI shell provides a set of basic commands to manage files and EFI NVRAM shell and boot variables. A list of these basic commands is in Table 14.

Extensive information is available on the EFI website at http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi.

Removing and Installing the Top Cover

WARNING

Make sure the rack is anchored securely so it will not tilt forward when the server chassis is extended. A crush hazard exists should the rack tilt forward. This could cause serious injury.

CAUTIONS

For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the server with the cover removed. Do not leave the chassis cover open or a system fan removed any longer than necessary; system cooling could be reduced.

The server comes with a removable top cover that allows the PCI cards, Memory Boards, and the system fans to be hot-swapped, and the system components to be serviced.

With the exception of the components described in this chapter, all servicing must be done by a qualified service technician.

Removing the Top Cover

To remove the top cover, follow these instructions:

1. Observe the safety precautions, warnings, and cautions described in "Safety Information".
2. If the chassis is rack-mounted, slide the chassis out far enough to expose the entire top cover.
3. Unscrew the two captive screws on the faceplate of the chassis.
4. Slide the top cover toward the back of the chassis until the tabs on the cover disengage with the slots in the chassis.
5. Lift the cover to remove it.

Hot-swapping a Rear System Fan

Four cooling fans are located at the rear of the chassis. The top cover must be removed before these fans can be serviced. You can replace a failed cooling fan assembly without turning off the power to the server only if the remaining system fans are fully functional.

Each fan assembly uses an amber LED to indicate a failed fan condition. If the amber LED is on, the fan assembly needs to be replaced. The LED remains off during normal operation.

CAUTION

System cooling is reduced during the fan replacement process. Do not leave a system fan removed for longer than two minutes.

Do not touch the fan blades while they are turning.

1. Locate the fan assembly you are replacing. If a fan in the assembly has failed, the amber LED on the fan model will be lit.
2. Grasp the fan by the finger holes and squeeze together.
3. Lift the fan upward. See the following figure.

Figure 16. Removing a Rear System Fan

1. Lower the replacement fan into the fan bay.
2. Push down on the fan until it clicks into place.

Hot-swapping Hard Disk Drives

The server supports five hot-swap drive carriers. Each carrier holds a standard one-inch high SCSI-2 or SCSI-3 hard drive.

The procedures in this section describe how to determine drive status, remove a faulty drive, and install a new drive. If a drive is in a redundant configuration, you can install or replace a hot-swap hard disk drive without powering down the server.

CAUTION

To ensure proper airflow and server cooling, all drive bays must contain either a carrier with a hard drive installed in it or a carrier with an air baffle installed.

Determining Drive Status

The drive carriers contain light-pipes that allow dual-color LED indicators to show through the bezel to display the hard disk drive status, as shown by Figure 17.

Installing and Removing DIMMs

Memory Population Rules

• Memory must be populated beginning with memory board A, slot 1. This is DIMM Slot A1. Memory board A is at the right side of the system.
• To increase memory capacity, additional memory can be added to memory board A beginning with slot A2, and followed by slot A3 and then slot A4.
• To ensure proper system thermal performance, all DIMM slots must be populated with either a DIMM or a DIMM blank.

Figure 22. Minimum Memory Population

If only memory boards A and B are installed:

• Identically numbered FBDIMM sockets for both memory boards must be populated with FBDIMMs identical in terms of timing, technology, and size. For example, DIMM A1 and B1 must be identical.
• FBDIMMs installed in different socket positions (numbers) on a riser board do not need to be identical for dual-channel operation. For example, DIMMs A1 and B1 can be different from DIMMs A2 and B2.
  Additional memory can be added by installing identical pairs of DIMMs in the lowest numbered available slots.

Figure 23. Memory Board A and B Population

If memory boards A, B, C and D are installed:

• Identically numbered FBDIMM sockets for both memory boards in a branch must be populated with FBDIMMs identical in terms of timing, technology, and size. For example, DIMM A1 and B1 must be identical, and DIMM C1 and D1 must be identical.
• FBDIMMs installed in different socket positions (numbers) on a memory board do not need to be identical. For example, DIMMs A1 and B1 can be different from DIMMs A2 and B2.
• If memory mirroring is not required, FBDIMMs installed in the same socket positions (numbers) across the two branches do not need to be identical. For example, DIMMs A1 and B1 can be different from DIMMs C1 and D1.
• If memory mirroring is required, FBDIMMs installed in the same socket positions (numbers) across the two branches must be identical. For example, DIMMs A1 and B1 must be identical to DIMMs C1 and D1.
  Additional memory can be added by installing identical pairs of DIMMs in the lowest numbered available slots.

Appendix A: POST Codes

The system BIOS displays error messages on the video screen. Before video initialization, beep codes inform you of errors. POST error codes are logged in the event log. The BIOS displays POST error codes on the video monitor.

Eight light-emitting diodes indicate the raw binary output of port 80 values. These LEDs are arranged so you can see a direct correlation to the binary equivalent. The table shows the correlation of port 80 post code bit to LED reference designator.

Table 17. Port 80 POST Code LEDs

POST Progress Codes and Messages

The system BIOS complies with the EFI Framework POST Progress Code specification by reporting 32-bit status codes at various points during POST that contain class, subclass, and operation information. The class and subclass fields describe the type of hardware that is being initialized. The operation field represents the specific initialization activity.

The system BIOS truncates 32-bit EFI POST Progress Codes to 8-bit values for display on the system board Diagnostic LED array. The resulting 8-bit POST code is displayed on the system board POST Code Diagnostic LED array at the start of each configuration process. This information can be used to assist with debugging system hangs during POST by identifying the last POST process initiated by the BIOS.

POST Error Messages and Handling

The POST Error Manager displays error messages reported by the system BIOS during POST. The system BIOS truncates the 32-bit EFI POST Progress Code associated with the error to 16-bit values for display in the POST Error Manager.

The POST Error Manager behavior in response to the error is defined by the error severity reported by the BIOS. Errors are categorized in one of three severity levels. The system behavior in response to severity level of:

Fatal

• The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
• The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
• The BIOS unconditionally enters POST Error Manager to display error message.
• The BIOS halts the system to prevent boot.
• The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.

Major

• The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
• The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
• The BIOS continues booting in a degraded state by default (i.e. BIOS does not automatically enter the POST Error Manager to display the error message).
• The user can override this default behavior by configuring the BIOS Setup POST Error Pause option to Enabled. This forces the system to enter the POST Error Manager and display the error message before booting.
• The user can choose to take immediate corrective action or continue booting.

Minor

• The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
• The BIOS continues booting with a degraded state (i.e. BIOS does not automatically enter the POST Error Manager to display the error message).
• The user may want to replace the erroneous unit.

The POST Error Manager reports a maximum of 500 errors on any single boot cycle. Errors are automatically cleared from the Error Manager on each boot.

POST Error Beep Codes

The following table lists POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the BIOS uses beep codes to inform users on error conditions. The beep code is followed by a user visible code on POST Progress LEDs.

Table 20. Beep Codes

Beeps	Error Message	Description
3	Memory error	System halted because a fatal error related to the memory was detected.
6	BIOS rolling back error	The system has detected a corrupted BIOS in the flash part, and is rolling back to the last good BIOS.
1-5-2-1		CPU: Empty slot / population error.
1-5-4-2		Power fault: DC power unexpectedly lost (power good dropout)
1-5-4-4		Power control fault (Power good assertion timeout)
