System Overview 1-13
System Board Management Controller (BMC)
Server management is concentrated in the System Board Management Controller
(BMC). The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from a 5Vdc standby voltage,
which remains active when system power is switched off, but the ac power source is
still on and connected.
The BMC supports the Management Workstation Application (MWA), which allows
remote server management via a modem or direct connection to a manager system.
Events monitored by the manager system include over-temperature and over-voltage
conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion.
Information on the Management Workstation Application (MWA) may be found in
Appendix B of this User’s Guide.
One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management
events, and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). The events
being monitored include overtemperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or
chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring, the BMC maintains the nonvolatile
Sensor Data Record (SDR), from which sensor information can be retrieved. The BMC
provides an ISA host interface to SDR sensor information, so that software running on
the server can poll and retrieve the server's current status.
The BMC performs the following:
Monitors server board temperature and voltage
!
Monitors processor presence and controls Fault Resilient Boot (FRB)
!
Detects and indicates baseboard fan failure
!
Manages the SEL interface
!
Manages the SDR Repository interface
!
Monitors the SDR/SEL timestamp clock
!
Monitors the system management watchdog timer
!
Monitors the periodic SMI timer
!
Monitors the event receiver
!
Controls secure mode, including video blanking, diskette write-protect
!
monitoring, and front panel lock/unlock initiation
Controls Wake On LAN via Magic Packet support.
!
1-14 System Overview
ACPI
The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system can
place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and
all processing is halted. However, in this state the power supply is still on and the
processors are still dissipating some power such that the power supply fan and
processor fans are still running.
Note:
ACPI requires an operating system that supports its
feature.
This server system BIOS supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. However, with future
versions of Microsoft Windows 9X that support ACPI, the system BIOS only supports
sleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows NT that support
ACPI, the system BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.
!
CAUTION
Only when the AC power is disconnected is the system completely
off.
The sleep states are defined as follows:
s0: Normal running state.
!
s1: Processor sleep state.
!
No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will maintain
coherency.
s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk.
!
The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button or
other wakeup event restores the system state from the disk and resumes normal
operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system
while it was off.
s5: Soft off.
!
Only the RTC section of the chipset and the BMC are running in this state.
AC Link Mode
The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that when the
AC input power is lost and then restored the system will return itself to one of three preselected settings, listed as follows:
Power On
!
Last State (Factory Default Setting)
!
Stay Off.
!
The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility (F2).
Refer to Chapter 3 "Configuring Your System."
System Overview 1-15
Remote Power-On (Wake ON LAN) Function
The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or
modem. If the system power is set to OFF, it can be turned on remotely by sending a
specific packet from the main computer to the remote system. This feature can be
enabled or disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility. See Chapter 3.
Note:
This feature must be supported by your operating system.
System Security
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full
lockable front panel and Server Management software that monitors the system
intrusion switches.
Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring
The front panel of the tower-based system contains a mechanical lock and an intrusion
switch to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis. The computer chassis
includes an interlock switch on the side cover. When any of these covers are opened,
the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server management
software processes the signal.
Security with the rack-mount system is identical to the tower-based system stated
above, except that there is no front cover associated with the rack-mount system.
Software Locks via the System Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized
or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the
system is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example:
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to
!
reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period1 to
120minutes.
Set and enable an administrative password.
!
Set and enable a user password
!
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the
!
front panel reset and power switches.
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

port may result in personal injury and equipment damage.
CAUTION
2-14 Setting Up the System
Setting the Line Voltage
The system contains an ATX300 watt power supply that is switch-selectable for
115 or 230 VAC at an operating frequency of 50/60Hz. The power supply
voltage selection switch is factory set to 115Vac for systems shipped to North
America; it is set to 230Vac for systems shipped in Europe. Line source voltages
between 200 and 240 VAC are acceptable when the power supply input voltage
is set to 230 VAC.
!
CAUTION
Before you plug the system power cord into an AC outlet,
ensure the input line voltage setting for the power supply is
correct.
To use the system with line source voltages between 200
and 240 VAC, the line voltage selector switch on the power
supply must be set to 230. If you set the switch to the 115
VAC position, the power supply will be damaged when you
plug in your system.
If you need to change the line voltage setting, perform the following steps.
Note:
the power cord will not be connected to the rear panel of
your system.
1.
Unplug the AC power cord from the back of the chassis.
2.
Insert the tip of a small screwdriver or ballpoint pen into the depression on
If you are setting up your system for the first time,

Connecting the Power Cord
Plug the female end of the AC power cord into the input receptacle on the rear
of the power supply cage. Plug the male end of the power cord into
NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240
VAC.
If the power cord supplied with the system is not compatible with the AC wall
outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following
criteria.
The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a
!
current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.
The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be
!
terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.
It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency
acceptable in your region.
The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an
!
IEC- type CEE-22 female connector.
The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.
!
2-16 Setting Up the System
When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS,
confirm that the power control unit is powered OFF. Connecting the power cord
while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.
!
WARNING
Your system shipped with a power cord for the power
supply. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC
power cord if it is not the exact type required.
Powering On Your System
Power on your system as follows.
1.

3.
Open the front door and press the push-button power on/off switch on the
front panel. Verify that the system power-on LED is lit. If it is not lit, ensure
the ac power cord is connected to a functional ac power source.
After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests
(POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU module, memory,
keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices.
!
CAUTION
Always allow POST to complete before powering down your
system.
!
CAUTION
The server management logic on your system board
monitors and logs system voltage changes. When powering
down your system you may experience a 1–5 second delay
from the time you press the push-button power on/off switch
on the front panel and your system powering down. This is
normal system operation and is required by the server
management logic.
If you have problems powering on your system, refer to Problem Solving in
Chapter 5 of this User’s Guide.
After you have successfully powered on your system, insert the ExpressBuilder
CD-ROM into the CD-ROM device, reboot the system and follow the screen
prompts to run ExpressBuilder.

Configuring Your System
Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration.
You can configure your system, as well as option boards you may add to your
system, using the BIOS Setup Utility. Several unique system parameters are
configured using the BIOS Setup, which is stored in the system FLASH
memory.
The Adaptec Configuration Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the system
board. Use this utility if you need to configure the two SCSI controllers in your
system or to perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk operation on the SCSI
disk drives. The Adaptec Configuration Utility is also used to configure any
SCSI removable media devices installed in your system.
If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS Setup or Adaptec
Configuration Utility do not need to be run unless you want to change the
password or security features, add certain types of option boards or devices, or
upgrade your system board.
This chapter also provides information on several system configuration
parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board. However, these
parameters do not usually require change.

The RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Devices) options available for your
system are the single channel SecuRAID 110 (Mylex AcceleRAID 150) RAID
controller board and the three channel SecuRAID 530 (Mylex eXtremeRAID
1100) RAID controller board, which gives your system the added security of
fault tolerance.
If you order a system with a RAID controller, the system is pre-configured at
the factory according to Table 3-2.

If you want to change the RAID level or add additional hard disks to the array,
use the RAID configuration utility. The RAID configuration utility is included
with a RAID controller.
JBOD (RAID 7)
JBOD allows the controller to access the drives
independently. This configuration has no redundancy
and does not use striping.
Mirroring (RAID 1)
All data is 100% duplicated on an equivalent drive
(fully redundant).
Striping with Parity (RAID 5)

data redundancy.
Striping with Parity (RAID 5) with a standby drive
The array consists of three ON-LINE drives and one

,
If you are adding the RAID controller to an existing system, the RAID
configuration utility allows you to configure your disk array before reinstalling
your network operating system. The RAID controllers support various versions
of RAID technology (referred to as RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you
must configure the RAID controller using the RAID configuration utility prior
to installing your Network Operating System. For an explanation of this utility,
refer to the documentation on the MYLEX CDROM that was shipped with the
RAID controller. It describes RAID technology and provides tips on making
your array perform well in your specific application. It also covers array
hardware preparation, configuration, and initialization. After completing the
steps in the manual, you can install your Network Operating System.
Configuring Your System 3-19
If you want to remotely configure the array (from a PC client); increase array
capacity online; or monitor statistics on disk and controller activity, you must
install the array manager provided with your RAID subsystem. Increasing array
capacity is covered in the user's guide shipped with the option.

Hard Disk Drives
The system supports a variety of SCSI hard disk drives installed in the system’s
hard disk drive bay. The SCSI hard disk drive bay in the system is one of two
types: a standard SCSI disk drive bay or a hot-swap SCSI disk drive bay.
Refer to Figure 4-18 to identify the type of hard disk drive bay in the system. In
each example the internal hard disk drives are located in the SCSI disk drive
bays.

If you are adding or removing a SCSI hard disk device, consider the following:
!
CAUTION
Do not hot swap a non-LVD-disk-drive into a LVD-disk-drive
only system for it may cause data corruption. The only way a
non-LVD-disk-drive can be used with an all LVD-disk-drive
system is by first powering down the system, installing the
non-LVD-disk-drive, and then powering the system back up.
Note:
Installing a non-LVD-disk-drive into an all LVDdisk-drive system causes all the drives to operate in the nonLVD mode

Installing or Swapping a Hard Disk Drive in a Hot-Swap Bay
This procedure describes installing a new hard disk drive or swapping out a
faulty drive from one of the six hot-swap SCSI disk drive bays. The SCSI drives
must use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attachment (SCA)
connector. Each drive must be installed in a drive carrier.
