Intel server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate
airflow for cooling. Intel's own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that
chooses not to use Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to
determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation
can not be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any
of their published operating or non-operating limits.

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: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To
remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord 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.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any unpainted metal surface on
your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded,
static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do
not slide board over any surface.
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.

RAID Support
The Intel® Server Board S5000PAL provides an embedded SATA controller that supports
both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer rates.
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
ATA Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The
“Onboard SATA Controller” option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, the
“SATA Mode” option can be set to either Legacy or Enhanced. The Legacy and Enhanced
modes affect the RAID configuration as follows:
Table 3. NIC LED Descriptions
Solid Amber Network connection in place
Blinking Amber Transmit/receive activity
Solid Amber 100 Mbps connection
Solid Green 1000 Mbps connection
• Legacy supports four disk drives and does not provide RAID support.
• Enhanced supports six disk drives and is required for RAID configurations.
When the enhanced mode is selected, you can choose to enable or disable “AHCI Mode”
or “Configure SATA as RAID”. Intel
by the option, “Configure SATA as RAID.” The Intel
Technology II feature provides RAID modes 0, 1, and 10.
For RAID 0, 1, and 10, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO
connector on the server board when a cable is attached between this connector on the
server board and to the backplane or I
If RAID 5 is desired, the optional Intel

DIMMs must be populated in pairs across consecutive channels starting with the lowest
numbered slot in each channel. Slots A1 and B1 are paired, followed by slots C1 and D1.
For performance reasons, when configuring four DIMMs, DIMM pairs A2 and B2 should
never be populated before DIMM pair C1 and D1. A four DIMM configuration should be
populated as A1 and B1; C1 and D1. See Figure 8 for a four DIMM configuration
example.

Figure 8. Four DIMM Configuration Example
In non-mirrored mode, all DIMMs with the same slot number within a given branch must
match (size, technology, manufacturer). It is not required to match DIMMs between
different slot numbers.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
• Use only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD) with DDR2 DRAM technology.
• Use only FBD DDR2-533 and FBD DDR2-667 stacked DIMM modules.
In determining your memory requirements, the need for memory sparing or memory
mirroring must be considered. For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the
links under "Additional Information and Software."
Memory Sparing and Mirroring
The chipset includes hardware that supports memory mirroring and memory on-line
sparing. Both memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing provide a way to prevent
data loss in case a DIMM fails.
With memory mirroring the system maintains two copies of all data in the memory
subsystem. If a DIMM fails, the data is not lost because the second copy of the data is
available from the mirrored DIMM in the opposite channel. The system will not fail due
to memory error unless both the primary and the mirrored copy of the data become corrupt
at the same time.
In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory,
with a minimum of four DIMMs installed. Since the data is duplicated across DIMMs, it
means that up to one-half of the installed DIMMs are actively in use at any one time. The
remaining DIMMs are used for mirroring.
12 Intel® Server Board S5000PAL User’s Guide
Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at
a time. See the Intel
Specification for additional information regarding the memory sub-system.

3 Server Utilities
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server
configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system
being present. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the Intel
Series Chipsets Server Board Family Datasheet where you will find details about specific
BIOS setup screens.
Starting Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
• When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test.
• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the "Clear CMOS"
position (enabled).
In the two conditions listed above, during the Power On Self Test (POST), you will see
this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
®
5000
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other
prompts but not the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For
instructions on clearing the CMOS, see "Clearing the CMOS".
Setup Menus
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that
are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is
associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters
can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for
any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.
“Setup Menu Key Use” describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup
menus.

Hardware Diagnostic Testing
This section provides a more detailed approach to identifying a hardware problem and
locating its source.
Caution: Turn off devices befor e disconnecting cables: Before disconnecting any peripheral cables
from the system, turn off the system and any external peripheral devices. Failure to do so
can cause permanent damage to the system and/or the peripheral devices.
1. Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices. Disconnect each device
from the system, except for the keyboard and the video monitor.
2. Make sure the system power cord is plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet.
3. Make sure your video displa y monitor and keyboard are correctly connected to the
system. Turn on the video monitor. Set its brightness and contrast controls to at
least two thirds of their maximum ranges (see the documentation supplied with
your video display monitor).
4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is
no CD-ROM / DVD disk in the optical drive.
5. If the power LED does light, attempt to boot from a USB floppy or from a CDROM disk.
6. Turn on the system. If the power LED does not light, see “Power Light Does Not
Light”.
Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Lights
As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass
storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity light should
turn on briefly. Check for the following:
• Does the drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “Drive Activity Light Does
Not Light”.
• If system LEDs are illuminated, see “Make sure the BIOS is configured to allow the
CD-ROM to be the first bootable device.” for a description of the light and steps to
take to correct the problem.
Confirming Loading of the Operating System
Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. The prompt
varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does not appear,
see “No Characters Appear on Screen”.

Cannot Connect to a Server
• Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the correct connector at the
system back panel.
• Try a different network cable.
• Make sure you are using the correct and the current drivers. See “Additional
Information and Software” for a link to the current drivers.
• Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.
• Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network
controller.
• Make sure the correct networking software is installed.
• If you are directly connecting two servers (without a hub), you will need a crossover
cable.
• Check the network controller LEDs next to the NIC connectors.
Problems with Network
The server hangs when the drivers are loaded
• Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. For
these drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.
See the documentation that came with your PCI card(s) for information on changing
interrupts.
Diagnostics pass but the connection fails
• Make sure the network cable is securely attached.
• Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.
• The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed.
• Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.
• Make sure your BIOS is current. See “Additional Information and Software” for a
link to the current version.
• Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Make sure your operating
system supports shared interrupts.
• Try reseating the add-in adapter.
The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause
• Reseat the adater.
• Put the adapter in a different slot.
Intel® Server Board S5000PAL User’s Guide 47
• The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the
drivers.
• Run diagnostics.
System Boots when Installing PCI Card
System Management features require full-time "standby" power. This means some parts
of the system have power going to them whenever the power cord is plugged in, even if
you have turned the system power off with the power button on the front panel. If you
install a PCI card with the AC power cord plugged in, a signal may be sent to command
the system to boot. Before installing a PCI card, you should always:
• Turn off the server power by using the power button on the front of the system.
• Unplug the AC power cord(s) from the server.
Problems with Newly Installed Application Software
Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the
software, not the server hardware. Faulty equipment is unlikely, especially if other
software runs correctly .
Check the following:
• Make sure the system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the software.
See the software documentation.
• Make sure the software is properly installed and configured for the system. See the
software documentation.
• Use only an authorized copy. Unauthorized copies often do not work.
• If you are running the software from a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, try a different disk.
• Make sure the correct device drivers installed.
If the problems persist, contact the software vendor's customer service representative.
Problems with Application Software that Ran Correctly
Earlier
Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly
sometimes indicate equipment failure. However, they can also be caused by file
corruption or changes to the software configuration.
Check the following:
• If you are running the software from a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, try a different disk.
• Check your system for a virus infection.
• Uninstall and reinstall the software. Make sure all necessary files are installed.
48 Intel® Server Board S5000PAL User’s Guide
• If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (if
keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random component
failures.
• If you suspect that a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout migh t have
occurred, reload the software and try running it again. Symptoms of voltage spikes
include a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and the system not
responding to user commands.
Note: Random errors in data files: If you are getting random errors in your data files, they may
be getting corrupted by voltage spikes on your power line. If you are experiencing any of
the above symptoms that might indicate voltage spikes on the power line, you may want to
install a surge suppressor between the power outlet and the system power cord.

Appendix D: LED Decoder
During the system boot process, BIOS executes a number of platform configuration
processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each
configuration routine is started, BIOS will display the given POST code to the POST
Code Diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server board. To assist in
troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the Diagnostic LEDs can be used
to identify the last POST process to be executed.
Each POST code will be represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The
LEDs are capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are
divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble
is represented by a red LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green
LED. If both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then both red and green LEDs are
lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear, then the LED is off.
In the below example, BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The
LEDs are decoded as follows:
• red bits = 1010b = Ah
• green bits = 1100b = Ch
Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the
lower nibble, the two are concatenated to be ACh.
