Main memory

Mirrored Channel Mode

– Requires identical modules on the channels A & B (CPU 1) and on D & E

(CPU 2).

– Half of the capacity is used for the mirroring — only the half of the installed

main memory is available for the applications.

– Channel C (CPU 1) respectively channel F (CPU 2) are not available in this

mode.

Performance Channel Mode

– Requires identical modules on all channels of each bank per CPU.

Spare Channel Mode

– Requires identical modules on all channels of each bank per CPU.
– One third of the capacity is used as spare range — this means the main

memory for the applications is reduced to two third.

3.2.3 LV-DIMM support

LV-DIMMs will be supplied with 1.35 V instead of the 1.5 V of the NV-DIMMs
(normal voltage DIMMs).

Anyway LV-DIMMs can also be operated with 1.5 V so that mixing of LV-DIMMs
and NV-DIMMs is possible. In this case all DIMMs will be operated with 1.5 V.

When using two LV-DIMMs 1333 MHz per channel the operating voltage
respective speed depends on the BIOS setup memory settings "Auto" /
"Energy" / "Performance":

The speed and operating voltage settings apply to all six sockets of one CPU in
common.

"Auto" speed is set to 1066 MHz; operating voltage is set to 1.35 V
"Energy" speed is set to 800 MHz; operating voltage is set to 1.35 V
"Performance" speed is set to 1333 MHz; operating voltage is set to 1.5 V

Screen resolution

3.4 Screen resolution

Depending on the operating system used the screen resolutions in the following
table refer to the graphic controller on the system board. The graphic controller
is integrated in the iRMC S2 (integrated Remote Management Controller).

If you are using an external graphic controller, you will find details of supported
screen resolutions in the operating manual or technical manual supplied with
the graphic controller.

3.5 Temperature / system monitoring

Temperature and system monitoring aim to reliably protect the computer
hardware against damage caused by overheating. In addition, any unnecessary
noise is also prevented by reducing the fan speed, and information is provided
about the system status.

The temperature and system monitoring are controlled by the iRMC S2
(integrated Remote Management Controller).

The following functions are supported:

Temperature monitoring

Measurement of the processor (each CPU has its own temperature sensor) and
the system internal temperature by an onboard temperature sensor,
measurement of the ambient temperature by a I

2

C temperature sensor.

Temperature / system monitoring

Fan monitoring

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

Fan control

The fans are regulated according to temperature.

Sensor monitoring

The removal of, or a fault in, a temperature sensor is detected. Should this
happen all fans monitored by this sensor run at maximum speed, to achieve the
greatest possible protection of the hardware.

Voltage monitoring

When voltage exceeds warning level high or falls below warning level low an
alert will be generated.

Cover monitoring

Unauthorized opening of the cover is detected, even when the system is
switched off. 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 or CSS LED and recorded in the System Event Log. They could be
retrieved in the BIOS Setup, iRMC S2’s Web interface or via the ServerView
Operations Manager.

PRIMERGY Local Diagnostic LEDs

Optical signaling through the LEDs on the system board identifies defective
modules and components (CSS functionality) as well as gaining information on
the PDA (Prefailure Detection and Analysis).

4 Replacing the lithium battery

In order to save the system information permanently and to power the indicator
LEDs E, F, G, H during service (see figure 6), 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 The lithium battery must be replaced with an identical battery or a battery

type recommended by the manufacturer (CR2450). This information
doesn’t apply to the Japanese market.

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!
