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.

Safety Information

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 the 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.

DDR3 DIMMs must meet the following requirements:

 Use only 240-pin DDR3 DIMMs.  A minimum of one 1 GB DDR3 DIMM is required in DIMM socket DIMM_A1.  Either registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) or unbuffered ECC/non-ECC DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMMs). No mixing of

RDIMMs and UDIMMs.

 DDR3-800, DDR3-1066, or DDR3-1333  DIMM within a channel must be populated starting with the first slot (blue slot) of the channel: DIMM_A1,

DIMM_B1, DIMM_C1, DIMM_D1, DIMM_E1, or DIMM_F1.

 When installing Quad-rank DIMM, you must populate Quad-rank DIMM starting with the first slot (blue slot) of

each channel.

For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under “Additional Information and Software”.

Channel Population Requirements for Memory RAS Modes

The Intel® Server Board S5520HC / S5500HCV support two memory RAS modes: Independent Channel Mode, and Mirrored Channel Mode. The rules on channel population and channel matching vary by the RAS mode used. Note that the support of RAS modes that require matching DIMM population between channels (Mirroring) and require that ECC DIMMs must be populated. Independent Mode is the only mode that supports non-ECC DIMMs in addition to ECC DIMMs.

Independent Channel Mode

You can populate channels in any order in Independent Channel Mode. You can populate all three channels in any order and have no matching requirements. All channels must run at the same interface frequency, but individual channels may run at different DIMM timings (RAS latency, CAS latency, and so on).

Mirrored Channel Mode

In Mirrored Channel Mode, the memory contents are mirrored between Channels A (D) and Chann el B (E). As a result of the mirroring, the total physical memory available to the system is half of what is populated. Mirrored Channel Mode requires that Channel A (D) and Channel B (E) must be populated identically. DIMM slot populations within a channel do not have to be identical but the same DIMM slot location across Channel A (D) and Channel B (E) must be populated the same. Channel C (F) is unused in Mirrored Channel Mode.

NOTE



Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which you use to change server configur ation defaults. You can run the BIOS Setup with or without an operating system present. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the Technical Product Specification where you can 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 move the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS” position (enabled).

In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM is 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 loads the default values for CMOS and attempts to boot.

If You Cannot Access Setup

If you cannot access the 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 provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. If they have adequate security rights, a user can change these parameters. If a value cannot be changed for any reason, the feature’s value field is inaccessible.

Table 5 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup menus.

The following steps explain how to prepare to upgrade the BIOS and include how to:

 Record the current BIOS settings  Obtain the upgrade utility  Prepare a storage media for the utility

System Utilities



NOTE

In the unlikely event a BIOS error occurs during the BIOS update process, you may need to follow a recovery process to return the system to service. See “Recovering the BIOS” for instructions on performing a BIOS recovery.

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 or use the “Save and Store System Configuration Utility (SYSCFG)” to save the current settings into a file. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the utility and instructions.



NOTE

Do not skip Step 2. You 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

Before attempting a BIOS upgrade, review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility. Review also any release notes in the release notes file that accompanies the new version of the BIOS. The release notes may contain critical information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other information to complete the upgrade.

Updating the BIOS

Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade software package. When the updates complete, remove the storage media from which you performed the upgrade.

CAUTIONS

Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process!

Intel

Server Board S5520HC and S5500HCV Service Guide 31

Page 32

System Utilities



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.

Recovering the BIOS

In the rare event the BIOS becomes damaged, you may need to follow a recovery process to return the system to service. To place the baseboard into recovery mode, move the BIOS Recover jumper (J1E5) located on the baseboard to the recovery position. The BIOS can then execute the recovery instead of the normal BIOS.



BIOS Recovery Procedure

NOTE

The BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort; it is used only when the main system BIOS will not come up.

1. 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.

2. Copy all the files in the BIOS recovery package to the root directory of a USB disk-on-key device.

3. Power off the system.

4. Switch the BIOS recovery jumper (J1E5) to the “enabled” position (ping 2-3).

CAUTION

Troubleshooting

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 CD-ROM 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:

1. Does the drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “CD-ROM Drive or DVD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not

Light”.

2. If system LEDs are illuminated, see “Intel

Light-Guided Diagnostics” for a description of the lights.

Confirming Loading of the Operating System

Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt displays on the screen. The prompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does not display, see “No Characters Appear on Screen”

Check the following:

1. Are the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive’s power and signal cables properly installed?

2. Is the drive properly configured?

Cannot Connect to a Server

1. Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the correct connector at the system back panel.

2. Try a different network cable.

3. Make sure you are using the correct and the current drivers. For a link to the current drivers, see “Additional

Information and Software”.

4. Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.

5. Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.

6. Make sure the correct networking software is installed.

7. If you are directly connecting two servers (without a hub), you will need a crossover cable.

8. 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 interrupts are not shared. See the documentation that came with your PCI card(s) for information on changing interrupts.

Intel® Server Board S5520HC and S5500HCV Service Guide 50

Page 51

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 on-board network controller.  Make sure your BIOS is current. For a link to the current version, see “Additional Information and Software”.  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

 Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.  The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers.

Troubleshooting

 Run the diagnostics.

System Boots when Installing PCI Card

System Server 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 turned-off the system power 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:

1. Make sure the system meets the minimum hardware requirements for the software. See the software documentation.

2. Make sure the software is properly installed and configured for the system. See the software documentation.

3. Use only an authorized copy. Unauthorized copies often do not work.

4. If you run the software from a diskette, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, try a different diskette.

5. Make sure the correct device drivers are installed.

If the problems persist, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative.

Intel

Server Board S5520HC and S5500HCV Service Guide 51

Troubleshooting

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:

1. If you are running the software from a USB floppy disk, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM, try a different disk.

2. Check your system with a virus infection.

3. Uninstall and reinstall the software. Make sure all necessary files are installed.

4. 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.

5. If you suspect 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 experience 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.

Devices are not Recognized under Device Manager (Microsoft Windows* Operating System)

The Microsoft Windows* operating systems do not include all of the drivers for the Intel® chipsets, on-board NICs, and other components. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the current drivers and chipset files.
