Intel workstation 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 workstation 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 workstation 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 workstation and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the workstation 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 workstation 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 workstation, 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.

In addition to the SATA features described above, SAS models of the workstation board (product code S5000XVNSAS or S5000XVNSASR) have a dual-mode 4-port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) controller that supports both SAS and SATA hard disk drives. This controller is capable of data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gbps per port. The SAS controller supports up to 120 physical drives when expanders are used.

The BIOS Setup utility includes options on the Advanced | Mass Storage setup page to enable or disable the SAS option ROM and the SAS controller. Both of these options must be enabled to use RAID.

• When the SAS controller is enabled, the two black SATA ports on the workstation

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 workstation board. This SAS controller can mix SAS and SATA drives and the RAID mode of this SAS controller supports up to eight SAS/SATA physical drives and eight logical drives.

If the SAS option ROM is disabled in the BIOS Setup utility, but the SAS controller is enabled, the four blue ports on the workstation board continue to function as either SAS or SATA ports and the two black ports on the workstation board continue to function as SATA only ports. However, RAID support is not available.

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 workstation 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

workstation 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

2 System 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 workstation, after POST completes the memory test.

• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the workstation 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 25.

Page 38

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

workstation 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 workstation board hardware. When you boot your workstation, 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® Workstation Board S5000XVN 21

Page 40

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 workstation problems on your own, see “Getting Help”

on page 63 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 50.

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 workstation 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 workstation board?

• Are all jumper settings on the workstation 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

workstation 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 46.

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 48.

• If system LEDs are illuminated, see “Intel

for a description of the lights.

Light-Guided Diagnostics” on page 8

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® Workstation Board S5000XVN 45

Page 64

Specific Problems and Corrective Actions

This section provides possible solutions for these specific problems:

• Power light does not light.

• No characters appear on screen.

• Characters on the screen appear distorted or incorrect.

• System cooling fans do not rotate.

• Hard disk drive activity light does not light.

• CD-ROM drive activity light does not light.

• There are problems with application software.

• The bootable CD-ROM is not detected.

Try the solutions below in the order given. If you cannot correct the problem, contact your service representative or authorized dealer for help.

Power Light Does Not Light

Check the following:

• Did you press the power-on button?

• Is the system operating normally? If so, the power LED might be defective or the

cable from the control panel to the workstation board might be loose.

• Have you securely plugged the workstation AC power cord into the power supply?

• Some power supplies have a power switch on the back of the power supply, next to

the fan. If your system has one, is it turned on?

• Remove all add-in cards and see if the system boots. If successful, add the cards

back in one at a time with a reboot between each addition to determine which card might be causing the problem.

• Make sure the memory FBDIMMs comply with the system requirements.

• Make sure the memory FBDIMMs have been populated according to the system

requirements.

• Remove the memory FBDIMMs and re-seat them.

back in one at a time with a reboot between each addition to determine which card might be causing the problem.

• Make sure the memory FBDIMMs comply with the system requirements.

• Make sure the memory FBDIMMs have been populated according to the system

requirements.

• Remove the memory FBDIMMs and re-seat them.

• Make sure the processor(s) comply with the system requirements.

• Make sure the processor(s) have been populated according to the system

requirements.

• Remove the processor(s) and re-seat them.

If you are using an add-in video controller board, do the following:

1. Verify that the video works using the onboard video controller.

2. Verify that the video controller board is fully seated in the workstation board connector.

3. Reboot the system for changes to take effect.

4. If there are still no characters on the screen after you reboot the system and POST emits a beep code, write down the beep code you hear. This information is useful for your service representative.

5. If you do not receive a beep code and characters do not appear, the video display monitor or video controller may have failed. Contact your service representative or authorized dealer for help.

Characters Are Distorted or Incorrect

Check the following:

• 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 46.

• 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 workstation board?

• Is the cable from the control panel board connected to the both the control panel

board and to the workstation board?

• Are the power supply cables properly connected to the workstation board?

• Are there any shorted wires caused by pinched-cables or have power connector

plugs been forced into power connector sockets the wrong way?

Check the following:

• Are the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive's power and signal cables properly installed?

• Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly?

• Is the drive properly configured?

48 Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN

Page 67

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® Workstation Board S5000XVN 49

Page 68

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 workstation power by using the power button on the front of the system.

• Unplug the AC power cord(s) from the workstation.

Problems with Newly Installed Application Software

Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software, not the workstation 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.

50 Intel® Workstation Board S5000XVN

Page 69

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.
