Chapter 1. General checkout

The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradable read-only memory (ROM) on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major components of the server: The system board, Ethernet controller, video controller, RAM, keyboard, mouse (pointing device), diskette drive, serial ports, hard drives, and parallel port. Yo u can also use them to test some external devices. See “Diagnostic programs and error messages” on page 13.

Also, if you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the software, you can run the diagnostic programs to confirm that the hardware is working properly.

When you run the diagnostic programs, a single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After the cause of the first error message is corrected, the other error messages might not occur the next time you run the test.

A failed system might be part of a shared DASD cluster (two or more systems sharing the same external storage device(s)). Prior to running diagnostics, verify that the failing system is not part of a shared DASD cluster.

A system might be part of a cluster if:

v The customer identifies the system as part of a cluster. v One or more external storage units are attached to the

system and at least one of the attached storage units is additionally attached to another system or unidentifiable source.

v One or more systems are located near the failing

system.

If the failing system is suspected to be part of a shared DASD cluster, all diagnostic tests can be run except diagnostic tests which test the storage unit (DASD residing in the storage unit) or the storage adapter attached to the storage unit.

Notes:

1. For systems that are part of a shared DASD cluster, run one test at a time in looped mode. Do not run all tests in looped mode, as this could enable the DASD diagnostic tests.

2. If multiple error codes are displayed, diagnose the first error code displayed.

Page 12

3. If the computer hangs with a POST error, go to the Chapter 7, “Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99.

4. If the computer hangs and no error is displayed, go to “Undetermined problems” on page 116.

5. Power supply problems, see Chapter 7, “Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99.

6. Safety information, see “Safety information” on page

125.

7. For intermittent problems, check the error log; see “POST error messages” on page 12.

1. IS THE SYSTEM PART OF A CLUSTER?

YES. Schedule maintenance with the customer. Shut down

all systems related to the cluster. Run storage test.

NO. Go to step 2.

IF THE SYSTEM IS NOT PART OF A CLUSTER:

v Power-off the computer and all external devices. v Check all cables and power cords. v Set all display controls to the middle position. v Power-on all external devices. v Power-on the computer. v Record any POST error messages displayed on the

screen. If an error is displayed, look up the first error in the “POST error codes” on page 110.

v Check the System Error Log. If an error was

recorded by the system, see Chapter 7, “Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99.

v Start the Diagnostic Programs. See “Diagnostic

programs and error messages” on page 13.

v Check for the following responses:

a. One beep. b. Readable instructions or the Main Menu.

3. DID YOU RECEIVE BOTH OF THE CORRECT

RESPONSES?

NO. Find the failure symptom in Chapter 7,

“Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99.

YES. Run the Diagnostic Programs. If necessary, refer to

“Diagnostic programs and error messages” on page 13.

If you receive an error, go to Chapter 7, “Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99.

If the diagnostics completed successfully and you still suspect a problem, see “Undetermined problems” on page

116.

Chapter 3. Diagnostics

This section provides basic troubleshooting information to help you resolve some common problems that might occur with the server.

If you cannot locate and correct the problem using the information in this section, refer to Chapter 7, “Symptom-to-FRU index,” on page 99 for more information.

Diagnostic tools overview

The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related problems:

v POST beep codes

The power-on self-test (POST) generates beep codes and messages to indicate successful test completion or the detection of a problem. See “POST” for more information.

v Diagnostic programs and error messages

The server diagnostic programs are provided on the IBM

Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs test the

major components of the server. See “Diagnostic programs and error messages” on page 13 for more information.

POST

When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of server components and some of the options installed in the server. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test or POST.

If POST finishes without detecting any problems, the first window of the operating system or application program appears.

Note:

1. If you have a power-on password or administrator password set, you must type the password and press Enter, when prompted, before POST will continue.

2. A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next time you run the test.

Page 22

POST beep code descriptions

POST generates beep codes to indicate successful completion or the detection of a problem.

v One short beep indicates the successful completion of

POST.

v More than one beep indicates that POST detected a

problem. For more information, see “Beep symptoms” on page 99“.

POST error messages

The possible types of beep codes that your system might emit are:

Repeating long beeps

Indicates that a memory error has occurred. Ensure that all DIMMs are correctly installed.

One long beep and two short beeps

Indicates that a video error has occurred and the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. Ensure that the video adapter is correctly installed.

For

a list of POST errors, see “POST error codes” on page

110.

Small computer system interface messages (some models)

The following table lists actions to take if you receive a SCSI error message.

Note: If the server does not have a hard disk drive, ignore

any message that indicates that the BIOS is not installed.

You will get these messages only when running the SCSI Select Utility.

12 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 23

Table 2. SCSI messages

SCSI Messages Description

All One or more of the following might be causing the

problem.

v A failing SCSI device (adapter or drive) v An improper SCSI configuration v Duplicate SCSI IDs in the same SCSI chain v An improperly installed SCSI terminator v A defective SCSI terminator v An improperly installed cable v A defective cable

Action:

Verify that:

v The external SCSI devices are turned on.

External SCSI devices must be turned on before the server.

v The cables for all external SCSI devices are

connected correctly.

v The last device in each SCSI chain is

terminated properly.

v The SCSI devices are configured correctly.

the above items are correct, run the diagnostic

programs to obtain additional information about the failing device.

Diagnostic programs and error messages

The server diagnostic programs are stored on the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD. These programs provide the primary methods of testing the major components of the server.

Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service personnel.

Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action instructions for the first error message that appears.

The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed test log and summary log when running the diagnostic programs.

Starting the diagnostic programs

The IBM Enhanced Diagnostics programs will isolate your server hardware from software that you have installed on your hard disk drive. The programs run independently of the operating system, and must be run either from the CD or diskette. This method of testing is generally used when other methods are not accessible or have not been successful in isolating a problem suspected to be hardware related.

An IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD comes with the server. You can also download the latest image of the diagnostics from the World Wide Web at http://www.ibm.com/pc/ support.

Using the diagnostics CD

To start the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics using the CD, do the following:

1. Turn off your server and any peripheral devices.

2. Turn on all attached devices; then, turn your server on.

3. When you see Press F1 For Configuration/Setup, press the F1 key.

4. When the Configuration/Setup Utility menu appears, select Start Options.

5. From the Start Options menu, select Startup Sequence.

6. Note the device selected as the First Startup Device. Later, you must restore this setting.

7. Select CD-ROM as the First Startup Device.

8. Press Esc two times to return to the Configuration/Setup Utility menu.

9. Place the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD in the CD-ROM drive.

10. Select Save & Exit Setup and follow the prompts.

The diagnostics will load. Follow the instructions on the screen to run the diagnostics.

Chapter 3. Diagnostics 15

Page 26

Important

When you finish running the diagnostics and utilities, remove the CD from the CD-ROM drive and turn off the server. You must restore the First Startup Device to the original setting. Use steps 2 through 8 of this procedure to do this.

Downloading the diagnostics program

Do the following to download the latest image of the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics from the World Wide Web and create a startable Enhanced Diagnostics diskette:

1. Go to the following World Wide Web site: http://www.ibm.com/pc/support/

2. Download the diagnostics file for your server to a hard disk drive directory (not to a diskette).

3. Go to a DOS prompt and change to the directory where the file was downloaded.

4. Insert a blank high-density diskette in diskette drive A.

5. Type in the following, and then press Enter: filename a: where filename is the name of the file you downloaded from the Web.

The

downloaded file is self-extracting and will be copied to

the diskette. When the copy completes, you have a startable IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette.

Using the diagnostic diskette

Do the following to start the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics using the diagnostics diskette, do the following:

1. Turn off your server and any peripheral devices.

2. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics diskette into the diskette drive.

3. Turn on all attached devices; then, turn on the server.

4. Follow the instructions on the screen.

5. Place the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD in the CD-ROM drive. The diagnostics will load. Follow the instructions on the screen to run the diagnostics.

When the tests have completed, you can view the Test Log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen.

If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, refer to the information that comes with the software package.

16 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 27

Viewing the test log

The test log records data about system failures and other pertinent information. The test log will not contain any information until after the diagnostic program has run.

Note: If you already are running the diagnostic programs,

begin with step 4

1. Insert the IBM Enhanced Diagnostics CD.

2. Turn on the system and watch the screen. If the system is on, shut down your operating system

and restart the system.

3. If a power-on password is set, the system prompts you for it. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter.

4. Run the appropriate diagnostics program and when the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select Utility.

5. Select View Test Log from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

6. Yo u can save the test log to a file on a diskette or to your hard disk drive.

Note: The system maintains the test-log data while the

system is powered on. When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared.

Diagnostic error message tables

For descriptions of the error messages that might appear when you run the diagnostic programs, see “Diagnostic error codes” on page 103. If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in those tables, make sure that the server has the latest levels of BIOS, Advanced System Management Processor, ServeRAID, and diagnostics microcode installed.

Power checkout

Power problems can be difficult to troubleshoot. For instance, a short circuit can exist anywhere on any of the power distribution busses. Usually a short circuit will cause the power subsystem to shut down because of an overcurrent condition.

A general procedure for troubleshooting power problems is as follows:

1. Power off the server and disconnect the AC cord(s).

2. Check for loose cables in the power subsystem. Also check for short circuits, for instance if there is a loose screw causing a short circuit on a circuit board.

Chapter 3. Diagnostics 17

Page 28

3. Remove adapters and disconnect the cables and power connectors to all internal and external devices until server is at minimum configuration required for power on (see ″Minimum operating requirements″ on page 117).

4. Reconnect the AC cord and power on the server. If the server powers up successfully, replace adapters and devices one at a time until the problem is isolated. If server does not power up from minimal configuration, replace FRUs of minimal configuration one at a time until the problem is isolated.

To use this method it is important to know the minimum configuration required for a server to power up (see page

117).

Recovering BIOS

If the BIOS has become corrupted, such as from a power failure during a flash update, you can recover the BIOS using the boot block jumper and a BIOS flash diskette. The boot block jumper selects which of two BIOS images to use. In the normal position, the jumper will be installed on pins 2 and 3. In the alternate block position, the jumper will be installed on pins 1 and 2.

Note: Yo u can obtain a BIOS flash diskette from one of

the following sources:

v Use the ServerGuide program to make a BIOS

flash diskette.

v Download files to make a BIOS flash diskette

from the World Wide Web. Go to http://www.pc.ibm.com/support/ select IBM System Support, and then make the selections for your system.

the following to recover the BIOS:

1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover, see “Removing the side cover” on page 46.

2. Locate jumper JROM1 on the system board.

18 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 29

CMOS jumper (JBAT1)

Boot block jumper (JROM1)

3. Move the JROM1 jumper to the alternate position (pins 1 and 2) to enable the BIOS recovery mode.

4. Reinstall the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 70.

5. Reconnect all external cables and power cords and turn on the peripheral devices.

6. Insert the BIOS flash diskette in the diskette drive.

7. Restart the server. The BIOS begins the power-on self-test.

8. Select 1 - Update POST/BIOS from the menu that contains various flash (update) options.

9. When prompted as to whether you want to save the current code to a diskette, select N.

10. When prompted to choose a language, select a language (from 0 to 7) and press Enter to accept your choice.

11. Do not restart your server at this time.

12. Remove the BIOS flash diskette from the diskette drive.

13. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover, see “Removing the side cover” on page 46.

14. Move the JROM1 jumper to the normal position (pins 2 and 3) to return to normal startup mode.

15. Reinstall the side cover, see “Installing the cover” on page 70.

Chapter 3. Diagnostics 19

Page 30

16. Reconnect all external cables and power cords and turn on the peripheral devices.

17. Restart the server, which should start up normally.

Clearing CMOS

If you need to erase configuration information, you must move the CMOS jumper. See the illustration in “Recovering BIOS” on page 18 for the location of the CMOS jumper.

The default position is a jumper installed on pins 1 and 2. Before you change the position of this jumper, you must turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords. Remove the cover and then move the jumper to pins 2 and 3.

After moving the jumper, wait at least 5 minutes for the CMOS information to clear.

Changing the position of this jumper erases all configuration and setup information, including the power-on and administrator passwords. Therefore, you must reconfigure the server after clearing CMOS memory (see Chapter 4, “Configuring the server,” on page 33). If possible, record your server configuration information

before moving the CMOS jumper.

After you clear the CMOS information, move the jumper back to its normal position (pins 1 and 2). Reconnect the external cables and power cords; then, turn on the peripheral devices and the server.

Replacing the battery

running correctly.

v Reinstall the new software or new device.

Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller

This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur with the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller.

Network connection problems

If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following:

v Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.

The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.

If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category 5 cabling.

If you directly connect two workstations (without a hub), or if you are not using a hub with X ports, use a crossover cable.

Note: To determine whether a hub has an X port, check

the port label. If the label contains an X, the hub has an X port.

v Determine if the hub supports auto-negotiation. If not, try

configuring the integrated Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of the hub.

v Check the LAN activity light (if available) on the front of

the server. The LAN activity light illuminates when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the Ethernet network. If the LAN activity light is off, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct device drivers are loaded.

v Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers,

supplied with your server.

Chapter 3. Diagnostics 23

Page 34

v Check for operating server-specific causes for the

problem.

v Make sure that the device drivers on the client and

server are using the same protocol.

v Test the Ethernet controller.

The way you test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating system you are using (see the Ethernet controller device driver README file).

Ethernet controller troubleshooting chart

You can use the following troubleshooting chart to find solutions to 10/100 Mbps Ethernet controller problems that have definable symptoms.

Table 3. Ethernet troubleshooting chart

Ethernet controller problem

Suggested Action

The server stops running when loading device drivers.

The PCI BIOS interrupt settings are incorrect.

Check the following:

v Determine if the IRQ setting assigned to the

Ethernet controller is also assigned to another device in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try changing the IRQ assigned to the Ethernet controller or the other device. For example, for NetWare Versions 3 and 4 it is recommended that disk controllers not share interrupts with LAN controllers.

v Make sure that you are using the most

recent device driver available from the World Wide Web.

Before you begin

Before you begin to install options in the server, read the following information:

v Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines

provided in: – “Safety information” on page 125; – “Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices”

on page 129; and

– “Safety notices (multi-lingual translations)” on page

130.

These

guidelines will help you work safely while working

with the server or options.

v When you need to access the inside of the server to

install options, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. If you do so, rotate the two front feet in towards the server, so they do not break off due to the weight of the server.

v Before you place the server in an upright position, rotate

the two front feet a quarter turn away from the server. For complete details, see “Moving the stabilizing feet” on page 46.

v Make sure that you have an adequate number of

properly grounded electrical outlets for the server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.

v Back up all important data before you make changes to

disk drives.

v For a list of supported options for the 200, refer to

http://www.ibm.com/pc/us/compat on the World Wide Web.

Working inside the server with the power on

The server is designed with safety in mind. Follow these guidelines when you work inside a server that is turned on:

v Avoid loose-fitting clothing on your forearms. Button

long-sleeved shirts before working inside the server; do not wear cuff links while you are working inside the server.

v Do not allow your necktie to hang inside the server.

44 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 55

v Remove jewelry, such as bracelets, necklaces, rings,

and loose-fitting wrist watches.

v Remove items from your shirt pocket (such as pens or

pencils) that could fall into the server as you lean over it.

v Avoid dropping any metallic objects, such as paper

clips, hair pins, or screws, into the server.

System reliability considerations

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

v Each of the drive bays either has a drive, or a filler

panel and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) shield installed.

v There is space around the server to allow the server

cooling system to work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of the server.

v Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the

instructions that are provided with the adapters.

v A failed fan is replaced within 1 hour.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic

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

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

v Limit your movement. Movement can cause static

electricity to build up around you.

v Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its

frame.

v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed

circuitry.

v Do not leave the device where others can handle and

possibly damage the device.

v While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it

to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

v Remove the device from its package and install it

directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

Chapter 5. Installing options 45

Page 56

v Take additional care when handling devices during cold

weather as heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Moving the stabilizing feet

The two front feet attached to the bottom of the server rotate 90 degrees to provide additional stability.

When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it easier to lay the server on its side. If you do so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so they do not break off due to the weight of the server.

When you are finished installing options and have installed the side cover, turn the two front stabilizing feet a quarter turn out from the server and set it carefully back on its feet.

and follow those instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to change the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter.

v Yo u can install full-length adapters in all five PCI

expansion slots.

v The server supports 5.0 V and universal PCI adapters; it

does not support 3.3 V adapters.

v Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to

configure PCI adapters. Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.

50 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 61

v PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 are on PCI bus 0. The

system scans the AGP slot and PCI expansion slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order, if you have not changed the default boot sequence: PCI expansion slots 1 and 2, system board integrated drive electronics (IDE) or SCSI devices, and then PCI expansion slots 3 through 5.

Note: To change the boot sequence for PCI devices,

start the Configuration/Setup Utility program, select Start Options from the main menu, select Startup Sequence; then, select Second device (SCSI) to designate the adapter boot sequence. See Chapter 4, “Configuring the server,” on page 33 for details on using the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

Installing memory modules

Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. Yo u can increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory modules. Each module contains one industry-standard, dual in-line memory module (DIMM). Your server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.

Memory considerations:

v The server comes with a DIMM installed on the system

board in DIMM connector 1.

v When installing additional memory modules, install the

second memory module in DIMM connector 2, and the third in DIMM connector 3. (See the illustration in this section for memory connector locations.)

v The xSeries 200 server supports 64 MB, 128 MB, 256

MB, and 512 MB DIMMs. Your server supports a minimum of 64 MB and a maximum of 1.5 GB of system memory. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of memory modules for use with your server.

v Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration

information in the server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must change and save the new configuration information by using the Configuration/Setup Utility program. When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See Chapter 4, “Configuring the server,” on page 33 for more information.

v The illustrations in this document might differ slightly

from your hardware.

Ethernet connector

Your server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides an interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet LAN.

To access the Ethernet connector, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of your server. See “I/O connector locations” on page 72.

Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires

that the cabling in the network be Category 5.

Configuring

the Ethernet controller: When you connect

your server to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically detects the data-transfer rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) on the network and then sets the controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet connector that your server is connected to supports

Chapter 5. Installing options 77

Page 88

auto-negotiation, the Ethernet controller will set the appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet controller will adjust to the network data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX), half duplex (HDX), or FDX. The controller supports HDX and FDX modes at both speeds.

The Ethernet controller is integrated on the system board. You do not need to set any jumpers or configure the controller for your operating system before you use the Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable your operating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided on the ServerGuide CDs.

Failover for redundant Ethernet: The IBM 10/100

Ethernet adapter or the IBM 10/100 Etherjet™ PCI family of adapters are optional, redundant network interface card (NIC) adapters that you can install in your server. If you install this NIC adapter and connect it to the same logical segment as the primary Ethernet controller, you can configure the server to support a failover function. You can configure either the integrated Ethernet controller or the NIC adapter as the primary Ethernet controller. In failover mode, if the primary Ethernet controller detects a link failure, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with it is switched to the redundant (secondary) controller. This switching occurs without any user intervention. When the primary link is restored, the Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet controller.

High Performance Ethernet Modes: Your Ethernet

controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets, and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance and throughput for your server.

Teaming Mode: Your Ethernet controller provides options,

called teaming options. These options increase throughput and fault tolerance when running with Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x or later.

v Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) provides automatic

redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary adapter takes over. Adapter fault tolerance supports from 2 to 4 adapters per team.

v Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) enables you to

balance the transmission data flow among 2 to 4 adapters. ALB also includes the AFT option. You can use ALB with any 100BASE-TX switch.

v Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) creates a team of 2 to

4 adapters to increase transmission and reception throughput. FEC also includes the AFT option. You can only use FEC with a switch that has FEC capability.

78 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 89

Teaming requires you to install at least one additional Ethernet adapter. For additional information about the teaming modes, refer to the documentation that comes with these additional adapters.

Priority Packet Mode: Priority Packet is a

traffic-prioritization utility that enables you to set up filters to process high-priority traffic before normal traffic. You can send information from critical nodes or applications with an indicated priority. Because you set this priority at the host or entry point of the network, the network devices can base forwarding decisions on priority information defined in the packet.

Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Networking Web site at http://www.ibm.com/networking/ support

Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters you assign to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can set up predefined or custom priority filters based on a node medium access control (MAC) address, Ethernet type, or by various properties of the protocol and connector. Priority Packet provides two different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority Queue.

IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additional bytes of information to packets with different priority levels. Packets are tagged with 4 additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level. When you send these packets out on the network, the higher priority packets are transferred first. Priority packet tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expediting) enables the adapter to work with other elements of the network (such as switches and routers) to deliver priority packets first. Yo u can assign specific priority levels from 0 (low) to 7 (high).

You can assign values to packets based on their priority when you use the IEEE 802.1p standard for packet tagging. This method requires a network infrastructure that supports packet tagging. The routing devices receiving and transferring these packets on your network must support

802.1p for tagging to be effective.

After you set up the priority filter in Priority Packet, you must start IBMSet and select 802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on the Advanced tab.

Note: IEEE 802.1p tagging increases the size of the

packets it tags. Some hubs and switches will not recognize the larger packets and will drop them.

Chapter 5. Installing options 79

Page 90

Check your hub or switch documentation to see if they support 802.1p. (You can configure the switch to strip the tags from the packets and send it on to the next destination as normal traffic.) If these devices do not support 802.1p, or if you are not sure, use high priority queue (HPQ) to prioritize network traffic.

The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging are:

v The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged

packets must support 802.1p.

v The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p.

The Ethernet controller in your xSeries 200 and all IBM 10/100 Ethernet Security Adapters support 802.1p.

v The adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team. v If you are setting up virtual local area networks (VLANs)

and packet tagging on the same adapter, 802.1p/802.1Q tagging must be enabled on the IBMSet Advanced tab.

If your network infrastructure devices do not support IEEE

802.1p or you are not sure, you can still define filters and send packets as high priority. While HPQ does not provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p tagging, it does assign traffic as either high or low priority and sends high priority packets first. Therefore, if there are multiple applications on a system sending packets, the packets from the application with a filter are sent out first. HPQ does not change network routing, nor does it add any information to the packets.

To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a filter.

To effectively use HPQ, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.

Virtual LAN Mode: A virtual LAN is a logical grouping of

network devices put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collision domains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves network security.

VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logical workgroups. This can simplify network administration when connecting clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across the building, campus, or enterprise network.

Typically, VLANs are configured at the switch and any computer can be a member of one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this

80 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 91

by communicating directly with the switch, enabling multiple VLANs on a single network adapter (up to 64 VLANs).

To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch that has VLAN capability. Yo u also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell NetWare

4.1x or later.

Notes:

1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs.

2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the network driver interface specification (NDIS) driver hotfix from Microsoft.

3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been configured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on the same adapters.

Complete the following steps to join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0:

1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters you assign there to join the VLAN from the server. Refer to your switch documentation for more information.

2. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel window.

3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter you want to be on the VLAN and select Properties.

4. In IBMSet, select Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.

5. Enter the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information only and does not need to match the name on the switch.

6. Select Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN you want the server to join. The VLANs you add are listed on the Adapters tab.

7. Select Close and restart the computer.

Ethernet

connector: There is an RJ-45 Ethernet

connector on the back of the server, see “I/O connector locations” on page 72 for the location of this connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the Ethernet connector.

Universal Serial Bus connectors

Your server has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors, which are configured automatically. USB is a serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of device that is attached to the connector.

Notes:

1. If you attach a standard (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, the USB connectors and devices will be disabled during the power-on self-test.

2. If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse connector, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse, and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

USB

cables and hubs: Yo u need a 4-pin cable to

connect devices to USB 2 or USB 3. If you plan to attach more than two USB devices, you must use a hub to connect the devices. The hub provides multiple connectors for attaching additional external USB devices.

USB technology transfers data at up to 12 megabits-per-second (Mbps) with a maximum of 127 external devices and a maximum signal distance of five meters (16 ft) per segment.

USB connectors: There are two USB connectors located

on the rear of the server for attaching USB-compatible devices, see “I/O connector locations” on page 72 for the location of the USB connectors. The table below shows the pin-number assignments for the USB connectors.

LineinMic

Line out: This connector is used to send audio signals

from the server to external devices, such as powered speakers with built-in amplifiers, headphones, multimedia keyboards, or the audio Line in connector on a stereo system.

Line in: This connector is used to accept audio signals

from external devices, such as line output from a stereo, television, or musical instrument into the server sound system.

Mic: This connector is used to connect a microphone to

your server when you want to record voice or other sounds on the hard disk drive. It might also be used by speech recognition software.

MIDI connector

The musical instrument digital interface (MIDI) connector allows your server to interact with musical instruments and other musical equipment. Yo u might use the MIDI connector as an interface between your server and a synthesizer to edit and store sound information for the synthesizer on the server. See “I/O connector locations” on page 72 for the location of the MIDI connector. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the MIDI connector.

Ultra 3/160 SCSI connector (some models)

Some xSeries 200 server models come with a SCSI adapter, which supports a single Ultra 3/160/MB SCSI channel in a full-featured PCI 2.1-/2.2-compliant bus

84 Hardware Maintenance Manual: xSeries 200

Page 95

master package. This configuration supports a zero wait state, 32-bit memory transfers at 160 Mbytes/second, when LVD SCSI peripherals are attached. This channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices. In addition, this adapter uses:

v Double-transition clocking to achieve high transfer rates v Domain name validation to negotiate compatible data

transfer speeds with each device

v Cyclic-redundancy checking, instead of the usual parity

checking, to significantly improve data reliability

Note:

If you install a RAID adapter, you can move the

SCSI signal cable from the SCSI connector on the SCSI adapter to an internal channel connector on the RAID adapter to control the internal drives from the RAID adapter.

SCSI cabling requirements: You can install five internal

SCSI devices using the SCSI signal cable that comes with your server. If you plan to attach external SCSI devices, you must order additional SCSI cables. To select and order the correct cables for use with external devices, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. To receive an indication of SCSI hard disk drive activity, you must also connect the SCSI adapter to the SCSI LED (J3) connector on the system board. See “System and PCI extender board options connectors” on page 41 for the location of the SCSI connector.

For information about the maximum length of a SCSI cable between the terminated ends of the cable, refer to the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) SCSI standards. Adhering to these standards will help ensure that your server operates correctly.

Setting SCSI IDs: Each SCSI device connected to a

SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI ID. This ID enables the SCSI controller to identify the device and ensure that different devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data simultaneously. SCSI devices that are connected to different SCSI channels can have duplicate SCSI IDs.

To install external SCSI devices, you must first install an optional SCSI PCI adapter. Refer to the information that is provided with the device for instructions to set its SCSI ID.

With a SCSI adapter installed in your server, you can use its 68-pin SCSI connector to connect different types of SCSI devices. The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the SCSI connector.
