CHAPTER 1

System Overview

Dell

PowerEdge

systems that use Intel technology and incorporate a high-performance PCI local bus.

The PowerEdge 6300 systems have been designed for better serviceability and increased reliability. The sliding system board tray allows easy access to the system board for performing processor and memory upgrades. The Delldesigned SCSI backplane board and hard-disk drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI subsystem. The plastic drive rails attached to devices mounted in the external drive bays allow you to remove these devices without removing a single screw. The systems can be used either freestanding or rack-mounted.

A PowerEdge 6300 system can contain up to four Pentium II Xeon microprocessors. Each processor is housed in a single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge/ heat sink assembly mounted in a guide bracket on the system board, allowing for greater heat dissipation. The processor has an internal operating frequency of 400 MHz (or a higher speed when available) and an external operating frequency of 100 MHz. Contact Dell for information about Dell-supported microprocessor upgrades.

6300 systems are feature-rich, enterprise-class server

Pentium® II Xeon™ microprocessor(s) with MMX™

System Features

In addition to the standard features found in a traditional personal computer, Dell PowerEdge 6300 systems include the following new and/or advanced features:

• One to four Intel Pentium II Xeon microprocessors with an internal operat-

ing frequency of 400 MHz (and higher speeds when available) and an external bus speed of 100 MHz.

• Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) when two or more micro-

processors are installed.

NOTE: Additional microprocessors must have the same internal operating frequency as the initial microprocessors. Not all versions of the Pentium II microprocessor will work properly as additional microprocessors in this system; the upgrade kit from Dell contains the correct version for this system.

• A secondary (L2) cache of 512 KB, 1 MB, or 2 MB of SRAM is included

within the SEC cartridge that contains the microprocessor.

System Overview 1-1

• A minimum of 128 MB of system memory, upgradable to a maximum of

4 GB by installing combinations of 32-, 128-, and 256-MB buffered EDO DIMMs in the 16 DIMM sockets on the memory board.

• BIOS in upgradable flash memory on the PCI bus.

• Up to six hot-pluggable SCSI hard-disk drives. Two additional 1-inch drives

can be installed in the optional removable media bay.

• Three redundant, hot-pluggable power supplies and a power-supply paral-

leling board (PSPB).

• Five redundant system cooling fans.

• Seven PCI connectors, four 64-bit and three 32-bit.

• Three peer-to-peer PCI expansion subsystems.

• A VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI 3D RAGE PRO SVGA video

controller. This video subsystem contains 2 MB of SGRAM video memory (nonupgradeable).

• A National Semiconductor PC87309 super I/O controller that controls the

bidirectional parallel port, two serial ports, and the diskette drive in the externally accessible front bay.

• Two Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/LVD SCSI host adapters that support up to

six 1.6-inch internal SCSI hard-disk drives via a SCSI backplane board and special SCSI hard-disk drive carriers.

NOTE: The 1.6-inch drive carriers will accommodate 1-inch drives.

The SCSI backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual hard-disk drives, greatly simplifying drive installation. The backplane supports hot-pluggable SCSI hard-disk drive installation and removal when used in conjunction with the PowerEdge Expandable RAID controller.

• An Adaptec AIC-7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI-III host adapter that supports up

to three externally accessible SCSI devices in the external hard-disk drive bays.

• Drive failure, online, and activity indicators visible on each hard-disk drive

connected to the SCSI backplane.

• Server management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans

as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The server management circuitry works in conjunction with the HP OpenView Network Node Manager Special Edition (NNM SE) and the Dell OpenManage™ Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) software package.

• System board support for the Dell OpenManage Remote Assistant when

the optional Dell Remote Assistant Card (DRAC) is installed, which provides additional local and remote server management.

For a complete list of system features, see “Technical Specifications” found later in this chapter. For information about installing the PowerEdge 6300 systems in a rack, see the Dell PowerEdge 6300 Systems Rack Kit Installation Guide.

System memory resides on a memory module card and consists of a minimum of 128 MB of 72-bit buffered EDO memory. Memory can be expanded up to 4 GB by installing combinations of 32-, 128-, and 256-MB buffered EDO DIMMs on the memory module.

NOTE: DIMMs must be rated at 50 or 60 ns. With a mixture of 50- and 60-ns DIMMs, system memory will run at 60 ns.

The memory module provides 16 168-pin DIMM sockets divided into four banks, each consisting of four sockets labeled “DIMM A” through “DIMM D” (see Figure 1-6). Memory upgrade guidelines are as follows:

• DIMMs must be installed one bank (four DIMMs) at a time, starting with

bank 1 and working toward bank 4. There should be no open banks between populated banks.

• Within a bank, install DIMMs in the following order: DIMM A, DIMM B,

DIMM C, and DIMM D.

• DIMM sizes cannot be mixed within a memory bank. However, one mem-

ory bank can hold different-size DIMMs from another memory bank.

• Of the DIMMs to be installed in the system, install the size you have the

most of in the lowest-numbered bank(s), the less numerous size in the next banks, and least numerous size in the highest-numbered banks being used. For example, when installing four 256-MB DIMMs, eight 128-MB DIMMs, and four 32-MB DIMMs, install the 128-MB DIMMs in banks 1 and 2. The 256- and 32-MB DIMMs can be installed in banks 3 and 4; it does not matter which bank holds which size.

Figure 1-6. Memory Module

For more detailed information about DIMM installation guidelines and samples of DIMM configurations, see “Adding Memory” in Chapter 8 of the Dell

PowerEdge 6300 Systems Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.

System Overview 1-7

See “DIMMs” in Chapter 4 of this document for information on removing and replacing DIMMs.

PCI Expansion Subsystem

The Resource Configuration Utility (RCU) included with the system automatically configures installed PCI expansion cards. For more information on the RCU, see Chapter 5, “Using the Resource Configuration Utility,” in the Dell PowerEdge 6300 Systems User’s Guide.

The seven expansion-card slots include four 64-bit and three 32-bit PCI expansion-card connectors located on the system board (see Figure 1-13). The 64-bit slots support both 32- and 64-bit cards.

Video Controller

The video subsystem is built into the system board and consists of a PCI VGAcompatible video subsystem with an ATI 3D RAGE PRO SVGA video controller. The video subsystem contains 2 MB of SGRAM video memory, which is not upgradable. Maximum noninterlaced resolutions are 640 x 480 (16.7 million colors), 800 x 600 (16.7 million colors), and 1024 x 768 (256 colors).

Integrated SCSI Controllers

Two integrated Adaptec AIC-7890 Ultra2/LVD SCSI host adapters support up to six 1- or 1.6-inch internal SCSI hard-disk drives through a 68-pin connector on the system board for a SCSI backplane board. The SCSI backplane board automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual harddisk drives, greatly simplifying drive installation. The integrated SCSI controller resides on the PCI local bus for optimum performance.

An integrated Adaptec AIC-7860 Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter attached to the PCI bus supports up to three SCSI devices in the external drive bays through a 50-pin connector on the system board.

SCSI Hard-Disk Drives

Dell PowerEdge 6300 systems include a SCSI backplane board, which greatly simplifies cabling and configuration for SCSI hard-disk drives. SCSI ID and termination for SCSI hard-disk drives are both configured by the SCSI backplane board, rather than on individual drives. SCSI hard-disk drives are supplied by Dell in special drive carriers that fit in the internal drive bays.

NOTE: For maximum performance, install Ultra2/LVD drives exclusively. Although you can install a mixture of Ultra2/LVD and Ultra hard-disk drives, they will operate at the slower Ultra transfer rate.

1-8 Dell PowerEdge 6300 Systems Service Manual

SCSI Configuration Guidelines

SCSI hard-disk drives must be configured as follows:

• Disable termination on the drive. The SCSI backplane board provides termi-

nation for the SCSI bus.

• Set the SCSI ID on all drives to 0. All SCSI ID numbers for the drives are set

by the SCSI backplane board.

• Configure the drive so that the drive motor waits for a start unit command

from the SCSI host adapter before spinning.

SCSI devices in the external drive bays are controlled by the Ultra/Narrow SCSI controller on the system board. Although SCSI devices are installed essentially the same way as other devices, their configuration requirements are different. To configure SCSI devices installed in the external bays, follow the guidelines in the following subsections.

SCSI ID Numbers

Each device attached to the Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter must have a unique SCSI ID number from 0 to 7.

When SCSI devices are shipped from Dell, the default SCSI ID numbers are assigned as follows:

• The onboard Ultra/Narrow SCSI host adapter is configured through the

BIOS as SCSI ID 7.

• A SCSI tape drive is configured as SCSI ID 6 (the default ID number for a

tape drive).

• A SCSI CD-ROM drive is usually configured as SCSI ID 5.

NOTE: There is no requirement that SCSI ID numbers be assigned sequentially or that devices be attached to the cable in order by ID number.

Device Termination

All Dell PowerEdge 6300 systems have an active terminator installed at the end of the SCSI cable. All of the devices attached to the SCSI cable should have their termination disabled.

PSPB and System Power Supplies

The Dell PowerEdge 6300 includes a PSPB and three 320-W redundant system power supplies.

System Power Supplies

The system power supplies are stacked at the rear of the chassis and can slide in and out of the unit. When fully installed, a power supply automatically mates with a power harness attached to the back plate of the power supply cage. The power harness connects the power supply to the PSPB.

System Overview 1-9

The power supplies can operate from an AC power source of 115 VAC at 60 Hz or 230 VAC at 50 Hz. They provide the DC operating voltages and currents listed in Table 1-1.

NOTE: The power supplies produce DC voltages only under their loaded condition. Therefore, when you measure these voltages, the DC power connectors must be mated to their PSPB harnesses at the bulkhead, and the harnesses must be connected to their corresponding power input connectors on the PSPB. The PSPB in turn must be connected as appropriate to the system board, SCSI backplane board, or external drive bay.

240 W.

Maximum combined load current on –5 VDC and –12 VDC outputs cannot exceed 0.6 A.

+4.85 to +5.35 VDC 0.4 A

PSPB

The PSPB multiplexes input from the power supplies to supply redundant power to the system board, SCSI backplane, and external drive bays. Through embedded server management (ESM), the PSPB can also be used to perform such tasks as detecting the presence of one to three power supplies; monitoring voltage and current outputs from the power supplies, voltage going to the system board, and fan RPMs; and supporting the SMB_ALERT protocol used by the server management bus.

The PSPB connects to the power supplies through short harnesses that attach to the back of the power supply cages. The PSPB is attached to the side wall of the computer behind the external drive cage and is oriented in parallel with the system board. For information on removing and replacing the PSPB, see “Power-Supply Paralleling Board” in Chapter 4.

Figure 1-7 shows the PSPB power connector layout; Table 1-2 shows the cable connections made from the PSPB.

CAUTION: Should you remove power from the SCSI backplane board (either by removing the power cable or during replacement of the system board battery), you may need to reflash your system’s firmware.

The original firmware on the SCSI backplane is stored in EEPROM. However, if the SCSI backplane firmware is ever updated, the update is stored in volatile RAM. If power is removed from an updated backplane board, the update will be lost and the board will revert to its original firmware in EEPROM.

If at system startup you receive the message Warning: Firmware is out-of-date, please update..., it is best to reflash all system firmware from your Dell Server Assistant CD.
