What your server offers

The server uses the following features and technologies:

v Baseboard management controller

The baseboard management controller (BMC) provides basic service-processor environmental monitoring functions. If an environmental condition exceeds a threshold or if a system component fails, the baseboard management controller lights LEDs to help you diagnose the problem. Critical errors are included in the error log. The BMC also provides Serial over LAN (SOL) connectivity.

v IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic program

The IBM Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD that comes with the server provides a diagnostic program you can use to test the major components of the server. If the Dynamic System Analysis Pre-boot Diagnostic CD did not come with the server you can download the latest version from http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/ docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-4JTS2T&brandind=5000008

v Dual-core or quad-core processing

The server supports one dual-core or one quad-core Intel microprocessor.

v IBM Director

IBM Director is a workgroup-hardware-management tool that you can use to centrally manage System x servers. For more information, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD.

v IBM Enterprise X-Architecture technology

IBM X-Architecture technology combines proven, innovative IBM designs to make your x86-processor-based server powerful, scalable, and reliable. For more information, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/xseries/xarchitecture/ enterprise/index.html.

The memory bus supports up to 8 GB of system memory. The memory controller supports error correcting code (ECC) for up to four industry-standard PC2-5300, 667 MHz, DDR2 (second-generation double-data-rate), unbuffered, synchronous dynamic random access memory (SDRAM) dual inline memory modules (DIMMs).

v IBM ServerGuide™ Setup and Installation CD

The ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD that comes with the server provides programs to help you set up the server and install a Windows® operating system. The ServerGuide program detects installed optional hardware devices and provides the correct configuration programs and device drivers. For more information about the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD, see “Using the ServerGuide Setup and Installation CD” on page 49.

v Integrated network support

The server comes with two integrated dual-port Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controllers, which support connection to a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps network. For more information, see “Configuring the Broadcom Gigabit Ethernet controller” on page 66.

v Large data-storage capacity and hot-swap capability

The 2.5-inch server models support up to four hot-swap disk drives. The 3.5-inch server models support up to two Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) or Serial ATA (SATA) hot-swap hard disk drives. The simple-swap models support up to two SATA simple swap hard disk drives.

Chapter 1. The System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193 server 5

With the hot-swap feature, you can add, remove, or replace hard disk drives without turning off the server.

v Light path diagnostics

Light path diagnostics provides LEDs to help you diagnose problems. For more information, see the section about light path diagnostics in the Installation Guide and the Problem Determination and Service Guide.

v PowerExecutive

The IBM PowerExecutive solution is an IBM Director extension that measures and reports server power consumption as it occurs. This enables you to monitor power consumption in correlation to specific software application programs and hardware systems-management interface, and view them using IBM Director. For more information, including the required levels of IBM Director and PowerExecutive, see the IBM Director documentation on the IBM Director CD, or see http://www.ibm.com/systems/management/director/resources/.

v Redundant connection

The addition of an optional network interface card (NIC) provides failover capability to a redundant Ethernet connection. If a problem occurs with the primary Ethernet connection, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with the primary connection is automatically switched to the redundant NIC. If the applicable device drivers are installed, this switching occurs without data loss and without user interventions.

v Redundant cooling and optional power capabilities

The server supports a maximum of two 450-watt hot-swap power supplies and four hot-swap fans, which provide redundancy and hot-swap capability for a typical configuration. The redundant cooling of the fans in the server enables continued operation if one of the fans fails. The server comes with one 450-watt hot-swap power supply and four fans. You can order the second optional power supply.

v ServeRAID™ support

The hot-swap models of this server contain an internal SAS controller that supports level 0 and level 1 redundant array of independent disks (RAID) configurations. The server also supports some ServeRAID adapters and other optional devices to create RAID configurations. For a list of supported ServeRAID devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/serverproven/ compat/us/.

v Systems-management capabilities

The server comes with a baseboard management controller (BMC). When the BMC is used with the systems-management software that comes with the server, you can manage the functions of the server locally and remotely. The BMC also provides system monitoring, event recording, and network alert capability.

An optional Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine can be used to obtain enhanced systems-management capabilities, in addition to those of the embedded BMC. The Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, provides a dedicated Ethernet connection at the rear of the server.

v TCP/IP offload engine (TOE) support

The optional Ethernet adapter options on the server support TOE, which is a technology that offloads the TCP/IP flow from the microprocessor and I/O subsystem to increase the speed of the TCP/IP flow. When an operating system that supports TOE is running on the server and TOE is enabled, the server supports TOE operation. See the operating-system documentation for information about enabling TOE.

v Read the safety information that begins on page v, “Working inside the server

with the power on” on page 22, and the guidelines in “Handling static-sensitive devices” on page 22. This information will help you work safely.

v When you install your new server, take the opportunity to download and apply

the most recent firmware updates. This step will help to ensure that any known issues are addressed and that your server is ready to function at maximum levels of performance. To download firmware updates for your server, complete the following steps.

Changes are made periodically to the IBM Web site. The actual procedure

Note:

1. Go to http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.

2. Under Product support, click System x.

3. Under Popular links, click Software and device drivers.

4. Click System x3350 to display the matrix of downloadable files for the server.

might vary slightly from what is described in this document.

20 IBM System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193: User’s Guide

For additional information about tools for updating, managing, and deploying firmware, see the System x and xSeries Tools Center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/toolsctr/v1r0/index.jsp

v Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server is

working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed. If the server is not working correctly, see the Problem Determination and Service Guide for diagnostic information.

v Observe good housekeeping in the area where you are working. Place removed

covers and other parts in a safe place.

v If you must start the server while the server cover is removed, make sure that no

one is near the server and that no tools or other objects have been left inside the server.

v Do not attempt to lift an object that you think is too heavy for you. If you have to

lift a heavy object, observe the following precautions: – Make sure that you can stand safely without slipping. – Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet. – Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly or twist when you lift a heavy

object.

– To avoid straining the muscles in your back, lift by standing or by pushing up

with your leg muscles.

Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical

outlets for the server, monitor, and other devices.

v Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives. v Have a small flat-blade screwdriver and a small Phillips screwdriver available. v Yo u do not have to turn off the server to install or replace hot-swap power

supplies, hot-swap fans, or hot-plug Universal Serial Bus (USB) devices. However, you must turn off the server before you perform any steps that involve removing or installing adapter cables or non-hot-swap optional devices or components.

v Blue on a component indicates touch points, where you can grip the component

to remove it from or install it in the server, open or close a latch, and so on.

v Orange on a component or an orange label on or near a component indicates

that the component can be hot-swapped, which means that if the server and operating system support hot-swap capability, you can remove or install the component while the server is running. (Orange can also indicate touch points on hot-swap components.) See the instructions for removing or installing a specific hot-swap component for any additional procedures that you might have to perform before you remove or install the component.

v For a list of supported optional devices for the server, see http://www.ibm.com/

servers/eserver/serverproven/compat/us/.

System reliability guidelines

To help ensure proper system cooling and system reliability, make sure that the following requirements are met:

v Each of the drive bays has a drive or a filler panel and electromagnetic

compatibility (EMC) shield installed in it.

v If the server has redundant power, each of the power-supply bays has a power

supply installed in it.

v There is adequate space around the server to allow the server cooling system to

work properly. Leave approximately 50 mm (2.0 in.) of open space around the

Chapter 2. Installing optional devices 21

front and rear of the server. Do not place objects in front of the fans. For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before you turn on the server.

v Yo u have followed the cabling instructions that come with optional adapters. v Yo u have replaced a failed fan within 48 hours. v Yo u have replaced a hot-swap drive within 2 minutes of removal. v Yo u do not operate the server without the air baffle installed. Operating the

server without the air baffle might cause the microprocessor to overheat.

v For redundant operation, the power supplies are connected to 200 - 240 V ac.

Working inside the server with the power on

Attention: Static electricity that is released to internal server components when

the server is powered-on might cause the server to halt, which might result in the loss of data. To avoid this potential problem, always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when working inside the server with the power on.

The server supports hot-plug, hot-add, and hot-swap devices and is designed to operate safely while it is turned on and the cover is removed. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:

v Avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button long-sleeved shirts

before you work inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.

v Do not allow your necktie or scarf to hang inside the server. v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings, and loose-fitting wrist

watches.

v Remove items from your shirt pocket, such as pens and pencils, that could fall

into the server as you lean over it.

v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper clips, hairpins, and screws,

into the server.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage the server and other electronic devices.

To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective packages until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of damage from electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around

you.

v The use of a grounding system is recommended. For example, wear an

electrostatic-discharge wrist strap, if one is available. Always use an electrostatic-discharge wrist strap or other grounding system when you work inside the server with the power on.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame. v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry. v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it. v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted

metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.

22 IBM System x3350 Types 4192 and 4193: User’s Guide

v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without

setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a metal surface.

v Take additional care when you handle devices during cold weather. Heating

reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Removing the server cover

Important: Before you install optional hardware devices, make sure that the server

is working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts. If the server is not working correctly, see "Solving Problems" in the

Installation Guide for diagnostic information.

To remove the server cover, complete the following steps:

1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines” on page 20.

2. If you are planning to install or remove a memory module, PCI adapter, battery, or other non-hot-swap optional device, turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords (see “Turning off the server” on page 12).

3. Press down on the left and right side latches and pull the server out of the rack enclosure until both slide rails lock.

7. Lift the server cover off the server and set the server cover aside.

Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the server cover before you

turn on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (more than 30 minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components.

Installing a hot-swap power supply

The following notes describe the type of power supply that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a power supply:

v The server comes with one 450-watt hot-swap 12-volt output power supply. The

input voltage is 110 V ac or 220 V ac auto-sensing.

v Yo u can install an optional 450-watt hot-swap 12-volt output power supply to use

as a redundant power supply.

v These power supplies are designed for parallel operation. In the event of a

power-supply failure, the redundant power supply continues to power the system. The server supports a maximum of two power supplies.

Note: If you are using a Y power cable between two servers that act as backup

power units, see “Installing a Y power cable” on page 25 for information about how to connect a Y power cable.

Statement 8:

CAUTION: Never remove the cover on a power supply or any part that has the following label attached.

Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside any component that has this label attached. There are no serviceable parts inside these components. If you suspect a with one of these parts, contact a service technician.

Installing a hard disk drive

The following notes describe the type of hard disk drives that the server supports and other information that you must consider when you install a hard disk drive. For a list of supported hard disk drives, see http://www.ibm.com/servers/eserver/ serverproven/compat/us/.

Attention: To avoid damage to the hard disk drive connectors, make sure that the

cover is in place and fully closed whenever you install or remove a hard disk drive.

Locate the documentation that comes with the hard disk drive and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions in this chapter.

The server supports one of the following hard disk drive configurations:

v Do not use both SAS and SATA drives in the same array. v The 2.5-inch server models support four hot-swap SAS hard disk drives. Yo u can

install only 2.5-inch hot-swap SAS drives in these servers.

v The 3.5-inch server models support two hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA hard

disk drives. Yo u can install only 3.5-inch hot-swap SAS or hot-swap SATA drives in these servers

v The simple-swap server models support two 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA hard

disk drives. Yo u can install only 3.5-inch simple-swap SATA drives in these servers.

v All hot-swap drives in the server should have the same throughput speed rating.

Using hard disk drives with different speed ratings will cause all drives to operate at the throughput speed of the slowest drive.

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive

To install a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SAS hard disk drive, complete the following steps.

Note: If you have only one hard disk drive, you must install it in the upper-left bay.

Passwords

From the System Security choice, you can set, change, and delete a power-on password and an administrator password. The System Security choice is on the full Configuration/Setup menu only.

If you set only a power-on password, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup and to have access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

An administrator password is intended to be used by a system administrator; it limits access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. If you set only an administrator password, you do not have to type a password to complete the system startup, but you must type the administrator password to access the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

If you set a power-on password for a user and an administrator password for a system administrator, you can type either password to complete the system startup. A system administrator who types the administrator password has access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the system administrator can give the user authority to set, change, and delete the power-on password. A user who types the power-on password has access to only the limited Configuration/Setup Utility menu; the user can set, change, and delete the power-on password, if the system administrator has given the user that authority.

Power-on password

If a power-on password is set, when you turn on the server, you must type the power-on password to complete the system startup. Yo u can use any combination of up to seven characters (A – Z, a – z, and 0 – 9) for the password.

If a power-on password is set, you can enable the Unattended Start mode, in which the keyboard and mouse remain locked but the operating system can start. You can unlock the keyboard and mouse by typing the power-on password.

If you forget the power-on password, you can regain access to the server in any of the following ways:

v If an administrator password is set, type the administrator password at the

password prompt. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and reset the power-on password.

v Remove the battery from the server and then reinstall it. See the Problem

Determination and Service Guide on the IBM System x Documentation CD for

instructions for removing the battery.

v Change the position of the clear CMOS jumper on the system board to bypass

the power-on password check. See "Resetting passwords" for additional information.

Attention: Before you move any jumpers, turn off the server; then, disconnect all

power cords and external cables. See the safety information that begins on page v. Do not move jumpers on any system-board jumper blocks that are not shown in this document.

Administrator password

If an administrator password is set, you must type the administrator password for access to the full Configuration/Setup Utility menu. Yo u can use any combination of up to seven characters (A – Z, a – z, and 0 – 9) for the password.

Chapter 3. Configuring the server 47

If you forget the administrator password, you can reset it after you change the position of the clear CMOS jumper. See “Resetting passwords” for additional information.

Resetting passwords

If you forget the power-on password or administrator password you can move the clear CMOS jumper on the system board to pins 2 and 3 to clear CMOS memory and bypass the power-on or administrator password check. The jumper location is shown in the following illustration.

v Perform a low-level format of a SAS/SATA hard disk drive v Create an array of SAS/SATA hard disk drives with or without a hot-spare drive v Set SAS/SATA protocol parameters on SAS/SATA hard disk drives.

addition, you can download an LSI command-line configuration program from

In http://www.ibm.com/systems/support/.

When you use the LSI Logic Configuration Utility program to configure and manage arrays, consider the following information:

v The integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities supports the following

features: – Integrated Mirroring (IM) with hot-spare (also known as RAID 1)

Use this option to create an integrated array of two disks plus an optional hot spare. All data on the primary disk can be migrated.

– Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) with hot-spare support (also known as

RAID 1E) Use this option to create an integrated mirror enhanced array of three to eight

disks, including an optional hot spare

– Integrated Striping (IS) (also known as RAID 0)

Use this option to create an integrated striping array of two to eight disks. All data on the array disk will be deleted.

Hard disk drive capacities affect how you create arrays. The drives in an array

can have different capacities, but the RAID controller treats them as if they all have the capacity of the smallest hard disk drive.

Chapter 3. Configuring the server 51

v If you use an integrated SAS/SATA controller with RAID capabilities to configure

a RAID 1 (mirrored) array after you have installed the operating system, you will lose access to any data or applications that were previously stored on the secondary drive of the mirrored pair.

v If you install a different type of RAID controller, see the documentation that

comes with the controller for information about viewing and changing SAS/SATA settings for attached devices.
