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.

•When the SAS controller is enabled, the two black SATA ports on the server board
continue to function as SATA ports. The four blue ports can be used as either SAS or
SATA ports. When the SAS controller is disabled in the BIOS Setup utility, SATA
ports 0 and 1 (the two black ports) function as SATA ports and all other SAS / SATA
ports are disabled.
•When the SAS option ROM is enabled in the BIOS Setup utility, Intel
Server RAID Technology II is available. This enables SAS RAID modes 0, 1, or 10
for the four blue ports on the server board. With the SAS controller the user can mix
SAS and SATA drives. The RAID mode of the SAS controller supports up to eight
physical SAS/SATA drives and eight logical drives. The SAS mode of ESRT II
supports up to eight SATA / SAS hard drives and supports only one expander
backplane per chassis.

A minimum of one 512 MB FBDIMM is required in DIMM socket DIMM_A1.
FBDIMMs must meet the following requirements:
•Use only FBDIMMs (DDR2-533 or DDR2-667).
•Use only 240-pin FBDIMMs.
•Use FBDIMMs with capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 G.
•Use only FBDIMMs that comply with the JEDEC Rev 2.0 specifications.
•FBDIMMs in a given channel must be identical with respect to manufacturing,
speed, timing, and organization. For example, this means the FBDIMMs in sockets
A1 and B1 must be identical, and the FBDIMMs in sockets C1 and D1 must be
identical. FBDIMMs in adjacent sockets on the same channel do not need to be
identical.
The server will run in single-channel mode under the following conditions:
•Only a single FBDIMM is installed. This FBDIMM must be in socket DIMM_A1.
•The population of socket DIMM_A1 determines the mode that is selected. If
DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 are not identical, then the system reverts to singlechannel mode and DIMM_B1 is disabled.
•If the FBDIMMs in socket positions on adjacent channels of the branch are different
in terms of timing, technology, or size. If the FBDIMMs on adjacent channels of a
branch are not identical, the FBDIMM on the higher channel is disabled.
•If Branch 0 cannot support the dual-channel mode of operation for any reason, the
server will run in single-channel mode.
For dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum of two
FBDIMMs must be installed. Populate FBDIMMs of the same size in each channel.
Install these FBDIMMs in DIMM sockets DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1. For dual-channel
interleave, FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as follows:
•DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1: Populate these two sockets together first.
•Populate FBDIMMs in channel order, populating all FBDIMMs in each channel.
For example, if four FBDIMMs are to be installed, they need to be in sockets A1,
B1, C1, and D1.
•The minimum memory population for enabling Branch 1 is four FBDIMMs:
DIMM_A1, DIMM_B1, DIMM_C1 and DIMM_D1.
During the boot process, FBDIMMs that do not meet the population requirements are
disabled.
For a complete list of supported memory FBDIMMs, see the links under “Additional
Information and Software” on page viii
Power Supply
A minimum of 550 watts is required. Your power supply must provide a minimum of
3 amps of 5-volt standby current or the server will not boot.

2System Utilities
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change system
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 Technical
Product Specification 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
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see warning
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” on page 27.
Page 40
Setup Menus
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple pages to allow you to view and change system
settings. Some parameters are configured automatically and cannot be changed. If an
administrator password has been set, administrator privileges are required to change most
settings. If a value cannot be changed for any reason, the feature's value field is
inaccessible.
The following table describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup
menus.

Upgrading the BIOS
The upgrade utility allows you to upgrade the BIOS in flash memory. The code and data in
the upgrade file include the following:
•On-board system BIOS, including the recovery code, BIOS Setup utility, and
strings.
•On-board video BIOS and other option ROMs for devices embedded on the server
board.
•OEM binary area
•Microcode
Setup Confirmation
Save Configuration changes and exit now?
[Yes] [No]
•A way to change the BIOS language
When you perform an upgrade to your BIOS, the upgrade is performed into a secondary
BIOS partition on specialized server board hardware. When you boot your server, the
system checks for an upgraded BIOS in this secondary partition. If it finds a BIOS
upgrade has been installed, it attempts to boot with the new BIOS. If it encounters a
problem with the upgraded BIOS, the system reverts to the BIOS that was in place before
the upgrade was performed. This provides a safeguard against problems that might happen
during the upgrade, such as a power outage during the upgrade process. This is called the
rolling BIOS feature.
Intel® Server Board S5000PSL23
Page 42
Preparing for the Upgrade
The steps below explain how to prepare to upgrade the BIOS, including how to record the
current BIOS settings and how to obtain the upgrade utility.
Note: In the unlikely event that a BIOS error occurs during the BIOS update process, a recovery
process may need to be followed to return the system to service. See “Additional
Information and Software” on page viii for a link to necessary software and instructions.
Recording the Current BIOS Settings
1.Boot the computer and press <F2> when you see the message:
Press <F2> Key if you want to run SETUP
2.Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program.
Note: Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your computer at the end of
the procedure.
Obtaining the Upgrade
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See “Additional
Information and Software” for a link to the update software.
Note: Review the instructions and release notes that are provided in the readme file distributed
with the BIOS image file before attempting a BIOS upgrade. The release notes contain
critical information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other information to
complete the upgrade.
Upgrading the BIOS
Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade. When the
update completes, remove the bootable media from which you performed the upgrade.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process!
Note: You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this
happens, shut down the system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you
enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.

Appendix A:Troubleshooting
This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that might occur while you are using
the system.
For any issue, first ensure you are using the latest software.These software updates
include updates for BIOS, the baseboard management controller (BMC), and the hot-swap
controller (HSC). See “Additional Information and Software” on page viii for a link to the
software updates. In addition to the system firmware and files, also update any drivers
used for components you have installed in your system, such as video drivers and network
drivers.
Intel provides a package called the “Platform Confidence Test” that may help with your
diagnostics. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to this software.
If you are unable to resolve your server problems on your own, see “Getting Help” on
page 65 for assistance.
System Boot Quiet Time
The power-on self test (POST) process includes a quiet time, during which the system
may appear to be hung. This may last as long as 40 seconds. Do not power off or reboot
the system during this time. The POST LEDs will indicate activity. They may alternate
blinking between amber and green. When the quiet time completes, the status LED will
change to solid green.
Resetting the System
Before going through in-depth troubleshooting, attempt first to perform reset your system
using one of the methods below.

Problems following Initial System Installation
Problems that occur at initial system startup are usually caused by an incorrect installation
or configuration. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. If the problem you are
experiencing is with a specific software application, see “Problems with Newly Installed
Application Software” on page 52.
First Steps Checklist
•Is AC power available at the wall outlet?
•Are the power supplies plugged in? Check the AC cable(s) on the back of the chassis
and at the AC source.
•Are all cables correctly connected and secured?
•Are the processors fully seated in their sockets on the server board?
•Are all standoffs in the proper location and not touching any components, causing a
potential short?
•Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the server board?
•Are all jumper settings on the server board correct?
•Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices correct?
To check these settings, refer to the manufacturer's documentation that comes with
them. If applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts-for example, two add-in boards
sharing the same interrupt.
•Are all peripheral devices installed correctly?
•If the system has a hard disk drive, is it properly formatted or configured?
•Are all device drivers properly installed?
•Are the configuration settings made in Setup correct?
•Is the operating system properly loaded? See the operating system documentation.
•Did you press the system power on/off switch on the front panel to turn the server on
(power on light should be lit)?
•Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged into a
NEMA 5 15R outlet for 100-120V or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V?
•Are all integrated components from the tested components lists? Check the tested
memory, and chassis lists, as well as the supported hardware and operating system
list. See “Additional Information and Software” on page viii for links to the tested
component lists.

Hardware Diagnostic Testing
This section provides a more detailed approach to identifying a hardware problem and
locating its source.
Caution: Turn off devices before 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 display 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 diskette in drive A and no CD-ROM disk in the CD-ROM drive.
5.If the power LED does light, attempt to boot from a floppy diskette or from a CDROM disk.
6.Turn on the system. If the power LED does not light, see “Power Light Does Not
Light” on page 48.
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 diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “CD-ROM Drive or
DVD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not Light” on page 50.
•If system LEDs are illuminated, see “Intel
for a description of the lights.
®
Light-Guided Diagnostics” on page 9
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”.
Intel® Server Board S5000PSL47

•Are the brightness and contrast controls properly adjusted on the video monitor? See
the manufacturer's documentation.
•Are the video monitor's signal and power cables properly installed?
•Does this video monitor work correctly if plugged into a different system?
System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Properly
If the system cooling fans are not operating properly, it is an indication of possible system
component failure.
Check the following:
•Is the power-on light lit? If not, see “Power Light Does Not Light” on page 48.
•If your system has LED lights for the fans, is one or more of these LEDs lit?
•Are any other control panel LEDs lit?
•Have any of the fan motors stopped? Use the server management subsystem to
check the fan status.
•Have your fans speeded up in response to an overheating situation?
•Have your fans speeded up in response to a fan that has failed?
•Are the fan power connectors properly connected to the server board?
•Is the cable from the control panel board connected to the both the control panel
board and to the server board?

Page 69
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” on page viii 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 system 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.
Intel® Server Board S5000PSL51
Page 70
The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause
•Reseat the adapter.
•Put the adapter in a different slot.
•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 USB floppy disk, 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.
52Intel® Server Board S5000PSL
Page 71
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 USB floppy disk, 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.
•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 might 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.
