system board
The system board provides BMC heart beat LED (LED17) for BMC debugs.
The BMC heart beat LED is green. When the system AC power is
connected, the LED lights. When BMC firmware is ready, the BMC heart
beat LED blinks.

Collecting System Event Log (SEL) for Investigation
Whenever possible, the BIOS will output the current boot progress codes on
the video screen. Progress codes are 32-bit quantities plus optional data. The
32-bit numbers include class, subclass, and operation information. The class
and subclass fields point to the type of hardware that is being initialized.
The operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based on
the data bit availability to display progress codes, a progress code can be
customized to fit the data width. The higher the data bit, the higher the
granularity of information that can be sent on the progress port. The
progress codes may be reported by the system BIOS or option ROMs.
The Response section in the following table is divided into 3 types:
1 Warning or Not an error – The message is displayed on the screen. An
error record is logged to the SEL. The system will continue booting with
a degraded state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit.
2 Pause – The message is displayed on the screen, an error is logged to the
SEL, and user input is required to continue or not depending on SETUP
option. The user can take immediate corrective action or choose to
continue booting.
3 Halt – The message is displayed on the screen, an error is logged to the
SEL, and the system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user
needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.

separate document.
NOTE: Always check for updates on dell.com/support/home and read the updates
first because they often supersede information in other documents.
Expanded Operating Temperature
10% of annual
operating hours
5 °C to 40 °C, 5% to 85% RH with 26 °C max. dew point.
For temperatures between 35 °C and 40 °C, de-rate maximum
allowable dry bulb temperature by 1 °C/175 meters above 950
meters (1 °F per 319 feet).
1% of annual
operating hours
–5 °C to 45 °C, 5% to 90% RH with 26 °C dew point.
For temperatures between 40 °C and 45 °C, de-rate maximum

Start Menu
The system employs the latest Insyde BIOS, which is stored in Flash
memory. The Flash memory supports the Plug and Play specification, and
contains a System Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine,
and the PCI auto-configuration utility.
This system board supports system BIOS shadowing, enabling the BIOS to
execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.
This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions:
When changing the system configuration, configure items such as:
– Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
– Password protection from unauthorized use
– Power management features
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
prompted to make changes to the Setup utility
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any
conflicts.
When changing the password or making other changes to the
security setup.

Console Redirection
The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems
on a server, which has not successfully booted the operating system. The
centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS
Console is a Flash ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output
over a serial or modem connection.
The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If serial port based
headless server support is provided by the system, the system must provide
support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port. The
driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the functionality
documented in the ANSI Terminal Definition.

3 BMC SOL.
Enabling and Configuring Console Redirection
To enable SOL feature in the external serial port mode, perform the
following steps:
1 Connect the serial cable to the serial port and host system. For location
of the serial port on the back panel, see Figure 1-14 item 8.
2 Enter the server BIOS setup screen.
