Windows® 2000 Advanced Server operating system information

Quad-Core Processor Upgrades

If the inside of the blade handle is labeled with a "II," your system is upgradeable, with some restrictions, to the Quad-Core Intel See support.dell.com for information on processor availability and upgrade options for your system.

Xeon® Processor 5300 series when these processors become available.

NIC Teaming Restrictions

Each server module (blade) in your system provides two integrated Broadcom Gb Ethernet ports as well as support for an optional Broadcom or Intel

Under the Microsoft Windows operating system, your system provides network teaming support under the following configurations:

• The two integrated Broadcom Gb Ethernet ports can be teamed using the Broadcom Advanced Server Program (BASP) software.

• Using BASP, the two integrated Broadcom Gb Ethernet ports can be teamed with the optional

Broadcom dual-port Gb Ethernet daughter card

• Two separate teams can be created using BASP. The first team consists of the two integrated Broadcom Gb Ethernet ports. The second team is made up of the two ports on the optional Intel Gb Ethernet daughter card.

• The two ports on the optional Intel Gb Ethernet daughter card can be teamed using the

Advanced Network Services (iANS) software.

NOTICE: Your system does not support the concurrent presence of an Intel port-based team created with iANS

and a second Broadcom port-based team created with BASP.

dual-port Gb Ethernet network adapter daughter card.

, for a total of up to four ports.

Intel

Information Update 3

Fibre Channel Pass-Through Module Indicators

The indicator patterns displayed on the optional Fibre Channel pass-through module are dependent on the specific Fibre Channel daughter card installed in the server module (blade). Cards currently supported by your system include the Dell 2342M, QME2462, and Emulex LPe1105-M cards. Table 1-1 details the status indicator patterns for these cards, and supersedes Table 1-11 in your Hardware Owner’s Manual.

Monitor Connections When Installing an Operating System

NOTICE: If you install an operating system on a server module and your system uses an Avocent Digital Access

KVM module, you must connect the monitor to the KVM module rather than the server module front panel.

NIC Activity LED

The NIC activity LED on the system front panel may occasionally illuminate due to baseboard management controller (BMC) activity. This is normal behavior for your system.

Throttling of Server Modules

If a power supply or fan module is removed from the system, all server modules (blades) in the system will be "throttled" until the power supply or fan module is replaced. Throttling reduces the power consumption of the server modules by changing the processor duty cycle. This will reduce the blade performance by approximately 50%. The enclosure’s System Event Log (SEL) will indicate if throttling of the blades has occurred.

If a power supply module or fan module fails but has not been removed, one or more server modules will be throttled depending on the system configuration. For more information, see the Dell Remote Access/Modular Chassis User’s Guide.

4 Information Update

Server Module Board DIP Switch

Table 1-2 lists all switch settings for the server-module DIP switch on the server module board. Note that switches 3 though 6 are reserved, and should not be changed from their default values. See "Switches and Connectors" in the system Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for the location of the DIP switch on the server module board.

Table 1-2. Server-Module DIP Switch Settings

DIP Switch Setting Description

PWRD_EN (Switch 1)

(default) The password feature is enabled when switch 1 is set to "on."

The password feature is disabled when switch 1 is set to "off."

NVRAM_CLR (Switch 2)

Switch 3 Reserved. Do not change.

Switch 4 Reserved. Do not change.

Switch 5 Reserved. Do not change.

Switch 6 Reserved. Do not change.

"on" "off"

(default) The configuration settings in NVRAM are retained at system

boot when switch 2 is set to "off."

The configuration settings in NVRAM are cleared at next system boot when switch 2 is set to "on."

Console Redirection Information

The Digital Access KVM (dKVM) can be connected to only one server module at a time. If the dKVM is switched to a different server module by using the KVM button located on a server module, or from the On-Screen Configuration and Reporting (OSCAR) user interface of the dKVM module, the view of other remote console redirection sessions will change to the selected server module.

Information Update 5

Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server Information

If you install the Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating system using the Dell Server Assistant and reboot the system, Windows Device Manager may not initially display all installed Broadcom NIC ports. The Device Manager may also display the following error message:

This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use.

If this situation occurs, restart the system. For more information, see Microsoft Knowledge Base article KB918417 on support.microsoft.com.

System Diagnostics

In the list of PCI devices displayed by the system diagnostics program, the system’s

NIC ports and optional

Product 16AC. The functionality of the ports is not affected.

Broadcom dual-port Ethernet daughter cards will be identified as Vend or 1 4E4

integrated Broadcom

Linux Enumeration of NICs

Linux operating system versions that use the udev kernel device manager enumerate the NICs differently than earlier Linux versions that used the devfs device manager. Although this does not affect system functionality, when using Red Hat operating systems, the NICs are enumerated in reverse: NIC1 is configured as eth1 rather than as eth0, and NIC2 is configured as eth0 rather than as eth1. For further information and methods of changing default device enumerations, see the "Network Interface Card Naming" white paper available at linux.dell.com.

Enterprise Linux (version 4) or SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 9

System Setup Program Updates

Following are updates to the System Setup program.

Main Screen

Figure 1-1 shows the updated main System Setup program screen. Table 1-3 describes a new option on the System Setup main screen.

Boot Sequence Retry (Disabled default)

Enables or disables the Boot Sequence Retry feature. When set to Enabled, the system re-attempts the boot sequence after a 30-second timeout if the previous boot attempt failed.

Memory Screen

Table 1-4 lists a new option on the Memory Information screen.

Table 1-4. Memory Information Screen Options

Option Description

Low Power Mode (Disabled default)

服务器模块受限

如果从系统中卸下电源设备或风扇模块，则在重新装上电源设备或风扇模块之前，系统中的所有服务器模块（刀片）将受到限制。这种限制通过更改处理器工作循环，可以降低服务器模块的功耗。这会使刀片的性能下降约

如果电源设备模块或风扇模块发生故障但未被卸下，则根据系统配置，将有一个或多个服务器模块受限。有关详情，请参阅《
