Server Boards and Server Chassis
Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any
other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products/components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: Risk of electric shock or fire exist. Do not service the systems if energized by any source of power. The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from the system, you must unplug the AC power cords fully from the systems and from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components. Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Liquid Cooling Solutions: Follow the power off guidance. Prior to powering up any compute modules, check the liquid cooling system for leaks and/or damaged parts (e.g. tubing, fittings, and disconnects). Ensure that all power is off prior to disconnecting any cooling quick disconnects. Do not to energize or power up any server node if the liquid cooling system is compromised in any way. To reduce risk of damage to the cooling system, use care when installing or removing server nodes. Avoid excessive force when connecting & disconnecting quick disconnects. Keep cooling tubing clear of pinch points when sliding server nodes.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage to your computer or the components within it. ESD can occur without the user feeling a shock while working inside the system chassis or while improperly handling electronic devices like processors, memory or other storage devices, and add-in cards.
Intel recommends the following steps be taken when performing any procedures described within this document or while performing service to any computer system.
Where available, all system integration and/or service should be performed at a properly equipped ESD
workstation.
Wear ESD protective gear like a grounded antistatic wrist strap, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes.
Wear an anti-static smock or gown to cover any clothing that may generate an electrostatic charge.
Remove all jewelry.
Disconnect all power cables and cords attached to the server before performing any integration or
service.
Touch any unpainted metal surface of the chassis before performing any integration or service.
Hold all circuit boards and other electronic components by their edges only.
After removing electronic devices from the system or from their protective packaging, place them
component side up on to a grounded anti-static surface or conductive foam pad. Do not place electronic devices on to the outside of any protective packaging.

3 System Software Updates and Configuration

3.1 Updating the System Software Stack

The system includes a software stack to operate. This includes a BIOS, BMC firmware, ME firmware, and FRU & SDR data. A default software stack is loaded during the system manufacturing process. However, it may not be the latest available. For best operation and system reliability, it is highly recommended to update the system software stack to the latest available.
The latest system software stack can be downloaded from Intel at the Intel web site http://downloadcenter.intel.com.
At a minimum, after the initial configuration, the system’s FRU and SDR data must be updated to ensure that the embedded platform management subsystem is configured properly. The system’s FRU and SDR data is updated by running the FRUSDR utility. Properly loaded FRU and SDR data allows platform management to monitor the appropriate system sensors which are used to determine proper system cooling, best performance, and accurate error reporting. The FRUSDR utility is included in the platform’s System Update Package (SUP) which can be downloaded from the Intel web site referenced above. The System Update Package will include full system update instructions.

System Environmental Specifications

The following table defines the system level operating and non-operating environmental limits.
Table 8. System Environmental Limits Summary
Disclaimer Note: Intel ensures the unpackaged server board and system meet the shock requirement
mentioned above through its own chassis development and system configuration. It is the responsibility of the system integrator to determine the proper shock level of the board and system if the system integrator chooses different system configuration or different chassis. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible, if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of its published operating or non-operating limits.

Appendix B. POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder

As an aid to assist in troubleshooting a system hang that occurs during a system’s Power-On Self-Tes t (POST) process, the server board includes a bank of eight POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the back edge of the server board.
During the system boot process, Memory Reference Code (MRC) and System BIOS execute a number of memory initialization and platform configuration processes, each of which is assigned a hex POST code number. As each routine is started, the given POST code number is displayed to the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the back edge of the server board.
During a POST system hang, the displayed post code can be used to identify the last POST routine that was run prior to the error occurring, helping to isolate the possible cause of the hang condition.
Each POST code is represented by eight LEDs; four Green and four Amber. The POST codes are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are represented by Amber Diagnostic LEDs #7, #6, #5, #4. The lower nibble bits are represented by Green Diagnostics LEDs #3, #2, #1 and #0. If the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles, the corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, the corresponding LED is off (Lit LED = 1, Off LED = 0).

Early POST Memory Initialization MRC Diagnostic Codes
Memory Initialization at the beginning of POST includes multiple functions, including: discovery, channel training, validation that the DIMM population is acceptable and functional, initialization of the IMC and other hardware settings, and initialization of applicable RAS configurations.
Below is a brief list of the Diagnostic LED codes displayed during memory initialization by the Memory Reference Code (MRC), the BIOS component responsible for it. There are two types of POST Diagnostic Codes used by the MRC, Fatal Error Codes and Progress Codes.
MRC Fatal Error Codes are necessary because if the Memory Initialization fails badly for some reason – like no usable memory installed – the system would not have the resources to give any other error indication. So in the case of a major failure during Memory Initialization, the system outputs a Fatal Error Code to Port 80 (the Diagnostic LEDs) and executes a Halt. These Fatal Error Halts do not change the System Status LED, and they do not get logged as SEL Events.
The MRC Progress Codes are displays to the Diagnostic LEDs that show the execution point in the MRC operational path at each step. The intent is that if the system hangs during execution of the MRC, the LED display will tell at what point in the code the system was executing.
Be aware that these are Diagnostic LED display codes used in early POST by the MRC. Later in POST, these same Diagnostic LED display codes are used for other BIOS Progress Codes.
Also, MRC Fatal Error Codes and MRC Progress Codes are not controlled by the BIOS and are subject to change based upon changes implemented in the memory reference code.

Table 10. MRC Fatal Error Codes
01h = No memory was detected via SPD read, or invalid config that causes no operable memory. 02h = Memory DIMMs on all channels of all sockets are disabled due to hardware memtest er ro r. 03h = No memory installed. All channels are disabled.
01h = Error on read DQ/DQS (Data/Data Strobe) init 02h = Error on Receive Enable 03h = Error on Write Leveling 04h = Error on write DQ/DQS (Data/Data Strobe)
01h = Software memtest failure. 02h = Hardware memtest failed. 03h = Hardware Memtest failure in Lockstep Channel mode requiring a channel to be disabled. This is a fatal error which requires a reset and calling MRC with a different RAS mode to retry.
01h = Different DIMM types (RDIMM, LRDIMM) are detected installed in the system. 02h = Violation of DIMM population rules. 03h = The third DIMM slot cannot be populated when QR DIMMs are installed. 04h = UDIMMs are not supported. 05h = Unsupported DIMM Voltage.
Should a major memory initialization error occur, preventing the system from booting with data integrity, a beep code is generated, the MRC will display a fatal error code on the diagnostic LEDs, and a system halt command is executed. Fatal MRC error halts do NOT change the state of the System Status LED, and they do NOT get logged as SEL events. The following table lists all MRC fatal errors that are displayed to the Diagnostic LEDs.
NOTE: Fatal MRC errors will display POST error codes that may be the same as BIOS POST progress codes displayed later in the POST process. The fatal MRC codes can be distinguished from the BIOS POST progress codes by the accompanying memory failure beep code of 3 long beeps.

BIOS POST Progress Codes
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes a number of platform configuration processes, each of which is assigned a specific POST Progress Code, a 2-digit hexadecimal number. As each configuration routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST Progress Code on the Diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server board.
To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the POST Progress Code displayed in the Diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the last POST process to begin execution.

Appendix C. POST Error Codes

Most error conditions encountered during POST are reported using POST Error Codes. These codes represent specific failures, warnings, or are informational. POST Error Codes may be displayed in the Error Manager display screen, and are always logged to the System Event Log (SEL). Logged events are available to System Management applications, including Remote and Out of Band (OOB) management.
There are exception cases in early initialization where system resources are not adequately initialized for handling POST Error Code reporting. These cases are primarily Fatal Error conditions resulting from initialization of processors and memory, and they are handed by a Diagnostic LED display with a system halt.
The following table lists the supported POST Error Codes. Each error code is assigned an error type which determines the action the BIOS will take when the error is encountered. Error types include Minor, Major, and Fatal. The BIOS action for each is defined as follows:
Minor: The error message is displayed on the screen or on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect on this error. Major: The error message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the SEL. The POST Error Pause option setting in the BIOS setup determines whether the system pauses to the Error Manager for this type of error so the user can take immediate corrective action or the system continues booting.
Note that for 0048 “Password check failed”, the system halts, and then after the next reset/reboot will display the error code on the Error Manager screen.
Fatal: The system halts during POST at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2> to enter Setup” The POST Error Pause
option setting in the BIOS setup does not have any effect with this class of error.
When the operator presses the F2 key on the keyboard, the error message is displayed on the Error Manager screen, and an error is logged to the SEL with the error code. The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.
NOTE: The POST error codes in the following table are common to all current generation Intel server platforms. Features present on a given server board/system will determine which of the listed error codes are supported.
