PCI, PCI-X, PCI Express interrupts

Each device connected to a PCI bus or PCI Express can use up to four interrupt
signals depending on the functionality.

PCI and PCI-X buses use four lines named INTA to INTD, typically connected
to all devices on the bus in order to periodically balance interrupt load. An
interrupt signal may thereby be used simultaneously by multiple devices
(interrupt sharing).

PCI Express devices send their interrupts through messages. The interrupts are
defined by the system design.

The following functions are supported:

Temperature monitoring

Measurement of the processor and the system board internal temperature by a
temperature sensor, measurement of the ambient temperature by a I
ature sensor.

Fan speed monitoring

The CPU, power supply unit and system fans are monitored. Fans that are no
longer available, blocked or sticky fans are detected.

If the I

C temperature sensor is defect or missing, all fans monitored by this
sensor, run with maximum speed to achieve the greatest possible protection of
the hardware.

Voltage monitoring (of the internal voltages)

If one of the internal voltages reaches its upper or lower threshold an alarm is
generated.

Cover monitoring

Unauthorized opening of the cover is detected, even when the system is
switched off (power down mode). However, this will only be indicated when the
system is switched on again.

System Event Log (SEL)

All monitored events of the system board are signalized via the Global Error
LED and recorded in the System Event Log. They could be retrieved in the BIOS
Setup or via ServerView.

PRIMERGY Diagnostic LEDs

Features Interfaces and connectors

LAN connectors

The system board is populated with three LAN controllers.
– 2 Gigabit LAN controllers (BCM5708) for system LAN 1 and system LAN 2

System LAN 1 and system LAN 2 support:
– transfer rates of 10 Mbit/s, 100 Mbit/s and 1 Gbit/s
– WOL function through Magic Packet™
– Intel PXE. It is possible to boot tehe system without its own boot hard disk

via LAN.

In addition system LAN 1 can be used as shared service LAN.

– 1 dedicated service LAN controller

– supports the transfer rates of 10 Mbit/s and 100 Mbit/s
– serves as management interface
– is prepared for RemoteView

Recovering System BIOS (recovery switch) - switch 1

Switch 1 enables recovery of the old system BIOS after an attempt to update
has failed. To restore the old system BIOS you need a Flash BIOS medium
(please call our customer service centre).

on The system boots from the Flash BIOS medium (floppy disk, DVD/CD-

ROM, USB sstick) and reprograms the system BIOS on the board.

off The System BIOS is started with the system BIOS from the system board

(default setting).

Skipping the password query - switch 2

Switch 2 is used to define whether the password is queried at system startup, if
the password protection is enabled in BIOS Setup (in Security menu, the

Password field must be set to Enabled).

on The password query is skipped. Passwords are deleted.
off The password query is effective (default setting).

Write protection for Flash BIOS - switch 3

Switch 3 is used to define whether the System BIOS is write protected or not.

on The System BIOS can neither be written to nor deleted. Flash-BIOS

update from floppy disk is not possible.

off The System BIOS can be written or deleted. Flash-BIOS update from

floppy disk is possible (default setting)

Write protection for floppy disks - switch 4

Switch 4 is used to define whether floppy disks can be written or deleted in the
floppy disk drive. To write and delete floppy disks, the write-protection in BIOS
Setup must be disabled (in menu Security, the field Diskette Write must be set to

Enabled).

on The floppy disk drive is write-protected.
off Floppy disks can be read, written and deleted (default setting).

4 Replacing the lithium battery

In order to save the system information permanently, a lithium battery is
installed to provide the CMOS-memory with a current. When the charge is too
low or the battery is empty, a corresponding error message is provided. The
lithium battery must then be replaced.

V CAUTION!

The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery
type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2450).

Do not throw lithium batteries into the trash can. It must be disposed of
in accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.

Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole
must be on the top!
