General Safety
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.
• When lifting any heavy object:
1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.
2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.
3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly, or twist, when you attempt to lift.
4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with you leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the
muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any object that weighs more than 16 kg (35lb) or any
object that you think is too heavy for you.
• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer’s
personnel are not in a hazardous position.
• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are
servicing the machine.
• Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.
• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that
your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.
• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing, or fasten it with a nonconductive clip,
approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.
• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.
Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.
• Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching
springs, using solvents, or working in any othe r conditions that might be hazardous to your e yes.
• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety
device that is worn or defective.
• Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.
Electrical Safety
CAUTIO N:
Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazard ous. To
avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the server system power cords,
telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless
instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.
Important: Disconnect all power before performing a mechanical inspection.
Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.
• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft
material that does not protect you when working with live electrical currents.
• Many customers have rubber floor mats (near their equipment) that contain small conductive
fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from
electrical shock.
viii Intel® Server Compute Blade SBX82: Hardware Maintenance Manual and Troubleshooting Guide
• Find the emergency power-off (E PO) switch, d isco n nect swit ch, or electrical outlet in the room.
If an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the switch or unplug the power cord.
• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions, or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.
• Disconnect all power before:
— Performing a mechanical inspection
— Working near power supplies
— Removing or installing main units
• Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the
customer to power -of f the wall box (that supplies po wer to the machine) and to lock the w all box
in the off position.
• If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following
precautions:
— Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you. Remember:
another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.
— Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other
hand in your pocket or behind your back.
— Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the
above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.
• When using testers, set controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for
that tester.
• Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such
as metal floor strips and machine frames.
• Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these
instructions are in the safety sections of the maintenance information. Use extreme care when
measuring high voltages.
• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.
• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.
• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been
powered-off.
• Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are
moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.
• Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental inspection
mirror. The surf ace is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.
• When the power is on and power supply units, blowers and fans are removed from their normal
operating position in a machine, do not attempt to service the units. This practice ensures correct
grounding of the units.
• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution:
— Switch power off
— Send another person to get help/medical aid
ix
Handling electrostatic dischar ge-sensitive devices
Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensiti v e to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between
objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work
mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.
✏ NOTE
Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.
Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully ef fective.
When handling ESD-sensitive parts:
• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.
• Avoid contact with other people.
• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.
• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge
even when you are wearing a wrist strap.
• Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is
especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.
• Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets
the specific service requirement.
— Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground.
— Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or
battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.
— Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.
✏ NOTE
The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD
damage.

• Impressive performance using the latest processor technology
Your blade server supports up to two Intel
least one processor installed; you can install an additional processor to further enhance
performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.
• Integrated network environment support
The blade server comes with two integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Each Ethernet
controller has an interface for connecting to 10/100/1000-Mbps networks through an Ethernet-
compatible switch module on the SBCE unit. The blade server automatically selects between
10BASE-T and 100/1000BASE-TX environments. Each controller provides full-duplex (FDX)
capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local
area network (LAN). The controllers support Wake on LAN technology.
®
Xeon™ processors. The blade server comes with at
• I/O expansion
The blade server comes with two connectors on the system board for an optional expansion card,
such as the Intel
®
Blade Server Fibre Channel Expansion Card or the Intel® Blade Server
Ethernet Expansion Card, for adding more network communication capabilities to the blade
server.
• Large system memor y
The memory bus in your blade server supports up to 8GB of system memory. The memory
controller provides support for up to four industry-standard 1.8 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate
(DDR2-400), PC3200, registered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with
error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs.
• Light Path Diagnostics
The Light Path Diagnostics feature provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to assist in isolating
problems with the blade server. An LED on the blade server control panel is lit if an unusual
condition or a problem occurs. If this happens, you can look at the LEDs on the system board to
locate the source of the problem.
• PCI Express*
PCI Express* is a fully serial interface that can be used for universal connectivity for use as a
chip-to-chip interconnect, I/O interconnect for adapter cards, and an I/O attachment point to
Gigabit networking devices. PCI Express bridges a PCI Express bus to a PCI-X bus and converts
the transactions on the PCI bus to transactions on the PCI-X bus. Using the expansion card
connector you can add additional LAN interfaces. The expansion card connector supports PCIX 133 and bridges PCI Express into PCI-X 133.
5
• Power throttling
Each blade server is powered by two SBCE unit redundant 2000 W power supply modules. By
enforcing a power policy known as oversubscription, the SBCE unit can load-share power
between two power modules to ensure efficient power for each device in the SBCE unit. This
policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the SBCE unit or when a blade server is
inserted into the SBCE unit.
The possible settings for this policy are:
— Redundant without performance impact
— Redundant with performance impact
— Non-redundant
You can configure an d monitor the po wer en vironment using the management module. For more
information about configuring and using power throttling, refer to your management module
manual.

Turning off the blade server
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the SBCE unit. The blade
server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the
blade server. To remove all power from the blade server, you must remove it from the SBCE unit.
Shut down your operating system before you turn off the blade server. See your operating-system
documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.
The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:
• You can press the power-control button on the blade server behind the control panel door. See
“Understanding the control panel and LEDs” on page 11. This starts an orderly shutdo wn of the
operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system.
✏ NOTE
After turning off the blade server, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the powercontrol button to turn on the blade server again.
• If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the power-control button for
more than 4 seconds to turn off the blade server.
• The management module can turn off the blade server.
✏ NOTE
After turning off the blade server, wait at least 30 seconds for its hard disk drives or flash
drives to stop before you remove the blade server from the SBCE unit.

Keyboard/mouse/video (KVM) select button: Press this button to associate the keyboard port,
mouse port, and video port with this blade server. The LED on this button flashes while the request
is being processed, then is lit when the ownership of the keyboard, mouse, and video has been
transferred to this blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds to switch the keyboard, video,
and mouse control to the blade server.
Although the keyboard that is attached to the SBCE unit is a PS/2*-style keyboard, communication
with it is through the USB. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for
the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard and mouse. The SBCE unit uses USB for internal
communication with these devices. When you are running an operating system that does not have
USB device drivers, such as in the following situations, the keyboard responds very slowly:
• Running the blade server integrated diagnostics
• Running a BIOS update diskette on a blade server
• Updating the diagnostics on a blade server
• Running the Broadcom firmware CD for a blade server
If there is no response when you press the keyboard/mouse/video select button, you can use the
management-module Web interface to determine whether local control has been disabled on the
blade server.

You can also press k eyboard k eys in the follo wing sequence to swit ch ke yboard/mouse/video control
between blade servers:
NumLock NumLock blade_server_number Enter
Where blade_server_number is the two-digit number for the blade bay in which the blade server
is installed.
CD/diskette/USB select button: Press this button to associate the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive,
and USB port with this blade server. The LED on this button flashes while the request is being
processed, then is lit when the ownership of the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port has
been transferred to this blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds for the operating system
in this blade server to recognize the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port.
The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize
and use the CD-ROM drive, diskette drive, and USB port. The SBCE unit uses the USB for internal
communication with these devices. If there is no response when you press the CD/diskette/USB
select button, you can use the management-module Web interface to determine whether local control
has been disabled on the blade server.
Activity LED: When this green LED is lit, it indicates that there is hard disk drive, flash drive, or
network activity.
Location LED: When this blue LED is lit, it has been turned on remotely by the system
administrator to aid in visually locating the blade server . The location LED on the SBCE unit will be
lit also. The location LED can be turned off through the management-module Web interface.
Information LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that information about a system error
for this blade server has been placed in the system error log. The information LED can be turned off
through the management-module Web interface.
Blade Error LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that a system error has occurred in the
blade server. The blade error LED will turn off only after the error condition is corrected.
Power-on LED: This green LED indicates the power status of the blade server in the following
manner:
• Flashing rapidly: The service processor on the blade server is handshaking with the management
module.
• Flashing slowly: The blade server has power but is not turned on.
• Lit continuously: The blade server has power and is turned on.
Power-control button: This button is behind the control panel door. Press this button to turn on or
turn off the blade server.
✏ NOTE
The power-control button has effect only if local power control is enabled for the blade
server. Local power control is enabled and disabled through the management-module Web
interface.
Non-maskable interrupt (NMI) button: Press this button to start diagnostic and debugging tests.
Use the tip of a paper clip or other pointed object to reset this button.

Using system board switches
This section describes the system board switches on your Intel® Server Compute Blade SBX82.
✏ NOTE
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Figure 4 on page 14 and Figure 5 on page 15 show the LEDs on the system board for the Intel®
Server Compute Blade SBX82. Refer to Table 1 and Table 2 on page 15 for more information about
the Light Path Diagnostics LED locations and settings. Refer to these illustrations and tables when
solving problems with the blade server.
✏ NOTE
Power is av ailable to relight the Light Path Diagnostics LEDs for a small period of time after
the blade server is removed from the SBCE unit. During that period of time, you can relight
the Light Path Diagnostics LEDs for a maximum of 25 seconds (or less, depending on the
number of LEDs that are lit and the length of time the blade server is removed from the
SBCE unit) by pressing the Light Path Diagnostics button. The Light Path Diagnostics
power present LED (CR111) lights when the Light Path Diagnostics button is pressed if
power is available to relight the blade-error LEDs. If the Light Path Diagnostics power
present LED does not light when the Light Path Diagnostics button is pressed, no power is
available to light the blade-error LEDs, and they will be unable to provide any diagnostic
information.
