Server Software and Documentation

The following software and documentation are supplied with your server:

• ServerWORKS software kit  contains ServerWORKS Quick Launch and ServerWORKS Manager.

− ServerWORKS Quick Launch consists of a bootable CD-

ROM disk and reference guide. The Quick Launch program steps you through the initial server setup and operating system installation process.

Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Reference Guide and the ReadMe.txt file, which is located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM.

− ServerWORKS Manager consists of the software and

documentation.

• Server documentation box  contains this User’s Guide, an Installation Guide, a Documentation Overview, Warranty information, Options manuals, and Registration Card.

NOTE: You might have ordered additional options such as hard disk drives, tape back-up systems, CD-ROMs, or modems that have been factory installed in your server. The documentation and any related diskettes for these options have also been provided. Save this material for future reference.

1-4

Diagnostic Software

Diagnostic software is shipped with your server on the Quick Launch CDROM. This software contains an advanced set of diagnostic utilities that can be used to identify and correct problems you might encounter when installing, configuring, or using your server. There are two ways to access the supplied diagnostic software:

1. During your server installation process, the diagnostic software will be automatically copied to a subdirectory on the MS-DOS partition (only if you selected the option to create an MS-DOS partition). This allows you to run the diagnostic software anytime from the MS-DOS partition you created.

2. Using the Install Software Conventional method in ServerWORKS Quick Launch, you can create a bootable diagnostic software diskette. This allows you to run the diagnostic software anytime using the diskette you created.

For additional information, read any README files that are on the diagnostic diskette you created.

Introduction

NOTE: Digital strongly recommends that you copy the diagnostics to a diskette and use this diskette to run the diagnostics on your server .

Server Utilit ies a nd Technica l Support

Current server utilities and technical support information is available on the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk and the Digital Bulletin Board Service (BBS). For access to the Digital BBS in the USA, dial (508) 496-8800.

If you need additional information, access “Service Information” located in the ServerWORKS Quick Launch program that is on your CD-ROM disk.

Introduction

Important Ergonomic Information

Under circumstances of poor posture or poor setup, certain recent scientific articles suggest that injuries may occur. Other articles suggest that there is no cause and effect. Because the safety of our users is a great concern, it is important to take these precautions:

• Be comfortable in your work space.

• Change your posture frequently.

• Proceed according to the recommendations in the following table

and figure.

Adjust So . . .

Chair Feet are flat on the floor.

Legs are vertical forming a right angle to the floor. Your weight is off your thighs and they are horizontal. Keep the

back of your knees away from the seat so you do not compress the area behind them, which could restrict the blood flow .

Your upper body is erect and your lower back is supported with a backrest.

Keyboard or mouse Your wrists are straight and do not bend more than 15 degrees.

They may be supported when resting but not on sharp edges. Type comfortably, with no more key pressure than needed to feel the contact point.

Upper arms are straight down at your sides, elbows are close to your sides and support your arm weight. Forearms are at a 70 degree to 90 degree angle.

If you use a mouse, rest your hand on the mouse so your wrist is not on the work surface. Operate the mouse close to your body’s centerline.

1-6

continued

Introduction

Adjust So . . .

Head Avoid neck strain. Your head should incline downward, but no

more than 15 to 20 degrees.

Monitor No higher than the level of your eyes and at the correct

distance for your vision. Avoid eye fatigue, which can be caused by glare, image

quality, uncomfortable furniture, eye height, and uncorrected vision. If you cannot focus to read at different distances, you may need special glasses. Relax your eyes periodically by looking at distant objects.

Work breaks Take periodic work breaks. Morning, lunch, and afternoon

breaks during the 8-hour workday meet most recommendations. Take advantage of work breaks to move around and do other activities.

Lighting Avoid direct lighting or sunlight on the screen, which causes

glare and reflections. Place lighting behind or to the side of your work area, and distribute the lighting evenly on your work area.

Your server’s monitor screen has an antiglare treatment to reduce glare. Adjust the brightness and contrast controls as needed.

Noise Keep background noise at a minimum. Background noise

above 65 dBA is tiring. Sound-absorbing materials (curtains, carpeting, and acoustic tile) can help reduce background

noise. Temperature 20 to 23 degrees C (68 to 74 degrees F). Humidity 30% to 70%. V entilation Provide adequate air ventilation to avoid fatigue and to

operate the equipment. Space between set ups > 70 cm (28 in.) center to center, preferably

> 152 cm (60 in.).

1-7

Introduction

IMPORTANT: If you experience pain or discomfort

during use of the server, take a rest break and review the instructions for proper ergonomic setup and use. If the pain or discomfort continues after resuming use of the server , discontinue use and report the condition to your job supervisor or physician.

RAID Configura tion Ut ility

RAID-ready Prioris servers include a Mylex RAID controller and RAID configuration utility. If your RAID controller was factory installed, the RAID configuration utility appears when you boot your server with the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. Use this utility to configure your RAID array.

Refer to the Mylex User’s Manuals for more information.

2-2

PHLASH.EXE

All servers have BIOS software in a read-only, non-volatile memory (ROM) chip. This BIOS initializes hardware and boots the operating system when the server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to other services such as keyboard and disk drives.

You can upgrade your server's BIOS to future releases by executing the flash utility located in the BIOS update kit.

Only use the flash utility to upgrade your server’s BIOS if you are instructed to do so by an authorized Digital support representative. The flash utility and BIOS updates are available on the Digital Bulletin Board (BBS).

Using EPP3SMC.EXE

EPP3SMC.EXE is a device driver that can be accessed from the ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. This device driver can be used to configure your parallel port as an enhanced parallel port (EPP). Before loading this device driver, check the documentation for the device you want to connect to the parallel port and make sure it supports EPP mode. If it does not, you do not need to load this device driver. If the device does support EPP mode, you should:

Server Utilities

1. Locate the EPP3SMC.EXE file on the MS-DOS partition you created during the Quick Launch installation process.

Note the path where your driver is located:

C:\EPP\EPP3SMC.EXE

2. Edit your CONFIG.SYS file to enter the path for EPP3SMC.EXE. Refer to your MS-DOS documentation for information on editing

your CONFIG.SYS file. For example a line in your CONFIG.SYS might be:

device=C:\epp3smc.exe

3. Save the new version of your CONFIG.SYS file.

2-3

Server Utilities

4. Press [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] and reboot your server.

5. Run the SCU and choose the Parallel Port Group.

6. Choose either EPP 1.7 or EPP 1.9 mode. Selection is based on which EPP your printer supports. If you do

not know which EPP your printer supports, use the default setting.

7. Exit the SCU to save the new setting. Your parallel port is now configured as an EPP port.

System Configuration Utility (SCU)

Your server was pre-configured at the factory using the System Configuration Utility (SCU). This means that your server’s hardware (CPU, memory, cache, mass storage devices, expansion boards, etc.) has been identified and configured for optimum performance. If you need to make changes to this configuration, Digital recommends that you use the SCU along with the information provided in this section.

Refer to “Starting the SCU” described later in this chapter. Refer to Appendix C, “SCU Features,” for more details about the SCU. Refer to the

ServerWORKS Quick Launch Reference Guide and the ReadMe.txt file, which is located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM, for additional information.

When to Run the SCU

Always run the SCU each time you add, remove, or relocate ISA, PCI and/or EISA expansion boards to reconfigure server resources (IRQs, I/O address, memory address, etc.). You should also run the SCU if the main logic board changed, after adding a CPU module, or after adding memory modules.

Typically, your server displays a message such as

Utility.....Press F1 to Continue

and run the SCU by following the instructions displayed on the SCU screens.

. Select how you want to access

Run SCU

2-4

Configuring Expansion Boards

Each time you add, remove, or relocate any EISA/ISA/PCI expansion board, you need to run the SCU to identify their operating characteristics, server resource requirements, and slot locations. Based on this information, the SCU will then automatically assign the proper server resources to EISA expansion boards, enable PCI boards, and inform you as to what jumper or switch settings need to be manually set on ISA expansion boards to avoid resource conflicts.

The SCU identifies an expansion board’s operating characteristics and resource requirements through Configuration (.CFG) files. These files contain main logic board, EISA, PCI, and ISA expansion board vital characteristics and the server resources they require for proper operation. Before you can configure your server, you must copy the CFG files (and overlays if applicable) supplied with the additional EISA expansion boards you installed to either the SCU directory on your hard disk drive or the SCU diskette that you created earlier.

As an added feature, the SCU creates and stores all setup changes in a System Configuration (.SCI) file. Afterwards, this SCI file can be used on any Prioris ZX 6000MP Series that is equally configured and can serve as a backup to the EISA configuration stored in NVRAM memory. The SCI file is maintained in your SCU directory on your hard disk drive or on the SCU diskette you created when you ran ServerWORKS Quick Launch and has a default name of SYSTEM.SCI.

Starting the SCU

The SCU is located on your ServerWORKS Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. The SCU options are shown in Figure 2-1. If this is your first time using the SCU, it is recommended that you select “Learn About Configuring your Computer” for detailed information on using the SCU. If this is a subsequent session, refer to the appropriate sections in this chapter to change your server’s configuration.

You can start the SCU in one of three ways:

1. During the Quick Launch boot process, if you selected “to create a MS-DOS partition,” the SCU was copied to the MS-DOS partition on your hard disk drive. This allows you to run the SCU anytime from the MS-DOS partition.

At the MS-DOS prompt change to the SCU directory and type:

SCU.BAT

2. Using the

Install Software/Conventional

method in ServerWORKS

Quick Launch, you can create a bootable SCU diskette. Afterwards, you can run the SCU anytime using the diskette you

created.

3. You can also run the SCU by inserting the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk, rebooting the server, and pressing the right [ALT] key during the boot process to display the SCU.

NOTE: If EISA or PCI cards have been added to your

server , the SCU will be invoked automatically when you boot from the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. The .SCI file is not saved when you use this method to run the SCU.

Server Management

Introduction

The Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server is configured with hardware that supports server management, including an 8031 processor with multiple

C busses for server status reporting.

Managing Your Server

The Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server allows you to perform the following server management functions:

• Monitor Main logic board voltage and cooling fan status

• Monitor CPU module voltage, temperature and status

• Detect and automatically correct single-bit ECC errors

The Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server allows you to manage your server and its main components by:

1. Obtaining information about the server and its modules.

2. Notifying you of any changes to modules on your server.

Information can be obtained either through the SCU or through System Management Software such as ServerWORKS Manager.

4-1

Server Management

Obtaining Information about Your Server

The Prioris ZX 6000MP series server provides the following system information for the main logic board, CPU modules, and memory modules configured on your server:

• Asset number  User definable field for tracking these components

• Part number  Digital part number

• Revision number  Board assembly revision number

• Serial number  Serial number of the board assembly

• Artwork number  Revision of the printed circuit board

The System ID is also located on the main logic board, CPU module, and memory modules. The System ID contains the following information:

• Model number  Server model number

• Serial number  Server serial number

• System asset number  User definable field for tracking the

system

4-2

Server Management

The main logic board, CPU module(s), and memory modules each contain memory where specific information and System ID information is stored. The main logic board also stores the server’s System Asset number (see Figure 4-1).

Information is available for the server’s main logic board, CPU modules, and memory modules (such as part numbers, revisions, serial numbers, etc.). You can also assign Asset numbers to these components. In addition, the software can detect when your change your server configuration by adding or removing a component.

You can obtain information about your server ’s configuration by running the SCU or by using System Management Software.

Server Management

Obtaining Information Using the SCU

You can use the SCU to check the Serial number, Revision number, and Asset number for the main logic board, CPU, and memory modules configured in the server. For example, if you change a module in your server, you must run the SCU to re-synchronize the System ID (server model number and serial number) in that module’s memory. The SCU will check the new module and will detect the System ID mismatch.

You may view the details for a particular module simply by selecting that module. The Serial number, Revision number and Asset number for that module displays. The SCU then lists the server model number and server serial number information stored on that module. You can then confirm the correct model number and serial number. This data is available on the label located on the server back panel.

Refer to Appendix C, “SCU Features,” for more detailed information about the SCU.

Obtaining Information Using Server Management Software

Your Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server is shipped with ServerWORKS Manager software. ServerWORKS Manager is a workgroup and server management product for Digital’s family of servers. ServerWORKS Manager utilizes the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) environment to assist the Network or Server administrator by constantly monitoring the network for problems.

ServerWORKS Manager is based on an open architecture that enables seamless integration and interoperability with popular enterprise management software packages such as Digital’s POLYCENTER Manager/NetView, Hewlett-Packard’s OpenView UX for Windows, and IBM’s Netview/6000 AIX. Also included with ServerWORKS Manager are Network Operating System (NOS) Agents for Windows NT V3.51, Novell NetWare V3.12 and V4.x, and SCO UNIX V5.0.

4-4

Server Management

ServerWORKS Manager allows the Network or Server Administrator to perform the following functions on your server:

• Manage Digital PC print, file, and application servers supported by Prioris Intel servers using a Windows-based graphical user interface (GUI) for point and click simplicity.

• Display server component information that provides critical information such as CPU and file system utilization and information about the network interface.

• Automatically builds a network by Autodiscovering all SNMP network resources and displays the nodes gathered during Autodiscovery on a color-coded topological map.

• Poll all network devices at intervals defined by the administrator.

• Perform an in-depth network analysis to continuously monitor the

status of the network.

• Set alarms and alerts for specified events on all network devices, as well as the network itself, to spot problems early and avoid costly downtime.

You can also manage the Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server with other SNMP-based managers.

Refer to Chapter 4, “Managing Server on Other Platforms,” in the ServerWORKS Manager Administrator User’s Guide for more information.

4-5

Server Management

Server Status

There are two types of information displayed when your Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server is operating:

• Normal status messages

• Error messages

During normal operation, Power On Self Test (POST) and boot messages are displayed on the monitor. Some POST messages are also displayed on the OCP panel. When an error occurs, an error message is displayed on both the monitor and OCP panel and a beep is sounded from the server’s speaker.

The following table lists the possible failures that could occur.

Upgrading Your Server’s CPU Module

Configuration

Introduction

Installing a higher-performance CPU module or a second CPU module increases the capabilities of your server. This chapter describes the configuration guidelines that must be followed prior to upgrading as well as detailed procedures on removing and installing CPU modules.

Configuration Guidelines

• Use only Digital-supplied CPU modules.

• A CPU upgrade can be done by installing a higher-performance

CPU module.

• The supplied terminator card must be installed in CPU slot 2 when using a single CPU module configuration.

• Remove the supplied terminator card from CPU slot 2 prior to installing a second CPU module.

• CPU speed and cache size on a second CPU module must be identical to the primary CPU module.

• If removing a CPU module from the server, remove the module from slot 2 and replace with a terminator card.

7. Install the regulators in their appropriate slots on the CPU module.

Refer to Appendix A, “Technical Specifications,” Figure A-2 for the location of the regulator slots.

8. Install the CPU module in slot 2. Install the retaining bracket and secure the captive screw located on the bracket to the chassis.

CAUTION: Make sure you align the CPU module with the

corresponding slot number on the card guide label. Failure to do so might cause faulty CPU module and/or server operation.

Also, the CPU module has two rows of gold fingers on its edge that plug into the main logic board slot. The CPU module must be pushed firmly in the slot to engage both rows of gold fingers or your server might not power up on boot.

9. Replace and lock the left side panel.

NOTE: Your server will not power up with the side panel

removed.

10. Connect all external devices and restore power.

11. Run the SCU, select Configure Computer, select View and Edit Details, and then select Save and Exit.

This allows your server to recognize the new CPU module configuration.

Installing Additional Memory

Introduction

By adding more memory, you can run larger and more complicated software on your server. Your Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server supports up to 2 GB of standard parity memory using single in-line memory modules (SIMMs). Your server’s memory can be increased by adding SIMMs on the main logic board (MLB) and optional memory modules.

NOTE: The MLB must be fully populated before adding

optional memory modules. Two memory modules are required when upgrading memory.

Also, you must order the SIMMs for the memory modules separately.

This chapter provides the memory configuration guidelines that must be followed prior to installing additional SIMMs into your Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server. It also provides the procedures for installing additional SIMMs on the MLB and memory modules, and for installing memory modules.

Memory installation begins with Bank 0 on the MLB. Further upgrades require that both memory modules be installed in order to support fourway interleaving. Complete banks (8 SIMMs) must be installed in Bank 1 of both memory module 1 and 2 before adding SIMMs to Bank 2, etc.

6-1

Installing Additional Memory

The Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server provides a four-way interleaved memory system, with a minimum supported memory of 64 MB. Memory is configured in banks, with each bank containing four interleaves (thus the term four-way interleaving). The MLB contains Bank 0, with four interleaves (Interleave 0-3) for a total of eight SIMMs (two SIMMs per interleave). Memory module 1 contains banks 1, 2, and 3 with interleaves 0 and 1; memory module 2 contains banks 1, 2, and 3 with interleaves 2 and 3.

Refer to the “Memory Interleave Upgrade Path” section listed later in this chapter.

Server SIMMs Requirements

Supported SIMMs 36-bit SIMMs, 60 ns access time,

standard parity memory only (no ECC SIMMs). ECC logic is provided on the main logic board and memory modules. No more than 24 DRAM devices on each SIMM due to loading.

Supported densities 8, 16, 32, and 64 MB (refer to the

memory configuration guidelines for additional information)

Installing Additional Memory

Memory Configuration Guidelines

The memory configuration guidelines for the Prioris ZX 6000MP Series server are as follows:

• Each memory bank on the main logic board and memory modules must contain eight SIMMs.

• Minimum memory supported on main logic board is 64 MB (using eight 8 MB SIMMs) for 1P server configurations and 128 MB (using 16 MB SIMMs) for 2P server configurations.

• Maximum memory supported on main logic board is 512 MB (using eight 64 MB SIMMs).

• Maximum system memory (main logic board and memory modules) is 2 GB.

• Bank 0 (interleaves 0-3) is located on the main logic board (Figure 6-1).

• Banks 1, 2, 3 are located on memory module 1 (interleave 0-1).

• Banks 1, 2, 3 are located on memory module 2 (interleave 2-3.

• 8 MB and 64 MB SIMMs cannot be installed with SIMMs of any

other size. Installing illegal combinations of SIMMs will result in a “DRAM combination error, system halt” message when the server is booted, and the server will not boot.

• 16 MB and 32 MB SIMMs can be installed together (refer to memory bank configuration tables in the memory configurations section later in this chapter).
