Processor

NOTE

✏

The SBT2 server board only supports processors with the following product codes: BX80526KB866256, BX80526KB1000256, BX80526KB8001M. Future processors may be supported. See the SBT2 support website for more information.

Each Pentium III Xeon processor is packaged in a cartridge containing the processor core with an integrated 16 KB primary (L1) cache, a secondary (L2) cache, and a cover. A passive heat sink is attached to the back cover of the cartridge. The cartridge is secured to the system board by a retention module and electrically connected to the board through a Slot 2 connector.

The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 133 MHz. The second-level cache is on the substrate of the processor cartridge.

Memory

The system board contains four 168-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as four banks of registered SDRAM DIMMs (PC133 compatible), each providing 72 bits of noninterleaved memory (64-bit main memory plus ECC).

Memory should be added in order from slot 1 to slot 4. The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the type,

size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the server via configuration registers.

NOTE

✏

Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board. Contact your sales representative or dealer for a current list of approved memory modules. Check the Intel Customer Support website for the latest tested memory list:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SBT2/compat.htm

Network Controller

NOTE

✏

To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the end system must be used with a shielded LAN cable.

The server board includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel 82559 single chip Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. As a PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at up to 132 MB/s. The controller contains two receive and transmit FIFO buffers that prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus. The controller has the following:

• 32 bit PCI bus master interface (direct drive of bus), compatible with PCI Bus Specification,

Revision 2.1

• Chained memory structure with improved dynamic transmit chaining for enhanced

performance

• Programmable transmit threshold for improved bus utilization

• Early receive interrupt for concurrent processing of receive data

• Onchip counters for network management

• Autodetect and autoswitching for 10 or 100 Mbps network speeds

• Support for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps networks, capable of full or half duplex, with back-to-

back transmit at 100 Mbps

Network Teaming Features

The network controller provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when

†

running Windows NT

• Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the

primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. AFT works with any hub or switch.

• Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - creates a team of 2 - 4 adapters to increase transmission

throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX switch.

• Fast EtherChannel

reception throughput. Also includes AFT. Requires an FEC-enabled switch.

To set up an option, read the instructions in the Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x readme files.

SBT2 Server Board Product Guide 13

Page 14

General Configuration Notes

1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 don’t support Adapter Teaming options.

2. Adapter Teaming options require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.0 or Service Pack 3.0 and Hotfix.

3. In Windows NT, teaming options cannot be implemented on adapters that have been

configured for VLANs. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on the same adapters.

Adapter Fault Tolerance

Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By assigning two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.

AFT is implemented with two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled. If the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapte r auto mat ica lly takes ove r.

Preferred Primary Adapter

With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For example if you have a server with a PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter as the primary adapter and a PRO/100+ adapter as the secondary, you would want the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter to be the preferred primary. In this scenario, if the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter fails, the PRO/100+ will take over. Then when the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter is replaced, it will automatically revert to being the primary adapter in the team.

If a Preferred Primary is not selected, PROSet will attempt to select the best adapter, based on adapter model and speed.

Mixed Adapter Teaming

AFT supports up to four PRO/1000 or PRO/100 adapters per team, in any mix.

Adaptive Load Balancing

Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way to increase your server’s transmit throughput. With ALB you group PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters in teams to provide an increased transmit rate (up to 400 Mbps) using a maximum of four adapters. The ALB software continuously analyzes transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps.

To use ALB, you must have two, three, or four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch.

14 Description

Page 15

Cisco Fast EtherChannel

Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco to increase your server’s throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to increase both transmission and reception channels between your server and switch. FEC works only with FEC-enabled switches, such as the Catalyst 5000 series. With FEC, as you add adapters to your server, you can group them in teams to provide up to 800 Mpbs at full duplex, with a maximum of four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters. The FEC software continuously analyzes loading on each adapter and balances network traffic across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for FEC also provide the benefits of AFT.

To use FEC, you must have two or four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters installed in your server and linked to the same FEC-enabled Cisco switch.

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. The server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time, if specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU). Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.

ACPI

The SBT2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI aware operating system can put the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power supply fan and processor fans will still run.

The SBT2 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows 9X that support ACPI, the BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows NTx that support ACPI, the BIOS will support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.

• s0: Normal running state.

• s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will

maintain coherency.

• s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the

power button or other wakeup event will restore the system state from the disk and resume normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while it was off.

• s5: Soft off: Only the RTC section of the PIIX4 and the BMC are running in this state.

CAUTION

The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.

SBT2 Server Board Product Guide 15

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Control server management software monitors the system intrusion switch.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

If installed, you can activate the chassis intrusion alarm switch. When the side door is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and server management software process the signal. The system can be programmed to respond to an intrusion by powering down or by locking the keyboard, for example.

Software Locks

The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, you can access the system only after you enter the correct password(s). For example:

• Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time out period1 to 120 minutes.

• Set and enable an supervisor password.

• Set and enable a user password.

• Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset

and power switches.

• Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.

• Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

• Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.

Using Passwords

You can set either the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords. If only the user password is set, you:

• Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.

• Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the

BIOS Setup or SSU.

• Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.

If only the supervisor password is set, you:

• Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.

• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either

the BIOS Setup or SSU.

• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.

If both passwords are set, you:

• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. However, you will not be able to change many of the options.

• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU and have access to all of the options.

16 Description

Page 17

• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.

• May enter either password to exit secure mode.

Secure Mode

Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:

• You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user password to use the keyboard or mouse.

• You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel switches.

Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via the Server Manager Module or power control via the real time clock.

Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.

Summary of Software Security Features

The table below lists the software security features and describes what protection each offers. In general, to enable or set the features listed here, you must run the SSU and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup utility.

Table 2. Software Security Features

Feature Description Secure mode How to enter secure mode:

• Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure mode.

• If you set a hot-key combination (through Setup), you can secure the system simply by pressing the key combination. This means you do not have to wait for the inactivity time-out period.

When the system is in secure mode: The server can boot and run the opera ting system, but mouse and keyboard

input is not accepted until the user password is entered. At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive A,

the system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the server boots from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.

If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server boots from drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode features go into effect at boot time.

To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).

Disable writing to diskette In secure mode, the server will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a

password is entered. To write protect access to diskette whether the server is in secure mode or

not, use the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.

Table 2. Software Security Features (continued)

Feature Description

Set a time out period so that keyboard and mouse input are not accepted

Also, screen can be blanked, and writes to diskette can be inhibited

Specify and enable an inactivity time out period of from 1 to 120 minutes. If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attempted

keyboard and mouse input will not be accepted. The monitor display will go blank, and the diskette drive will be write protected

(if these security features are enabled through Setup). To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).

Control access to using the SSU: set supervisor password

To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set an supervisor password and enable it through Setup.

If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the supervisor password will allow Setup to be changed.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter 5).

Control access to the system other than SSU: set user password

To control access to using the system, se t a user password and enable it through Setup.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security Su bsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter 5).

Boot without keyboard The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the

system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard if it is present and displays a message.

Specify the boot sequence The sequence that you specify in setup will determine the boot order. If

secure mode is enabled (a user password is set), then you will be prompted for a password before the server fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and

the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.

2 Upgrading

Tools and Supplies Needed

• Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)

• Jumper removal tool or needle nosed pliers

• Pen or pencil

• Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)

Cautions

These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person should configure the server board.

CAUTIONS

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 & 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) & 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 stake pins on the board.

Memory

Only PC133-compliant SDRAM is supported by the server board. Install from 64 MB to 4 GB of registered memory, using up to four single- or double-banked DIMMs.

DIMMs must be installed in order from slot 1 to slot 4, no empty slots between installed DIMMs. Slot 1 is the slot farthest from the processors.

Installed DIMMs must be the same speed and must all be registered. For a list of supported memory, call your service representative or visit the Intel Support website:

Processors

WARNING

If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be careful when removing or installing server board components that are located near processors.

CAUTIONS

Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server if you

install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability, contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer Support website:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SBT2 Heat sink must be appropriate: You must use an Intel boxed processor

with one of the following product codes: BX80526KB866256, BX80526KB1000256, BX80526KB8001M

ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Replacing the Back up Battery

The lithium battery on the server board powers the real time clock (RTC) for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the server settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.

WARNING

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment

manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.

3 Configuration Software and Utilities

This chapter describes the Power On Self Test (POST) and server configuration utilities. The table below briefly describes the utilities.

Table 3. Configuration Utilities

Utility Description and brief procedure Page

BIOS Setup If the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is disabled or

misconfigured, use Setup to enable it. Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the server board from the default

setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this will allow most server

configurations to boot. For the procedure to do this, see the section “CMOS Jumper” in Chapter 5 in this manual. Then run the SSU to configure the server.

System Setup Utility (SSU)

FRUSDR Load Utility

BIOS Upgrade Utility

Firmware Update Utility

Using the Adaptec SCSI Utility

Use for viewing and clearing the system event log, viewing th e system management FRU information, or viewing the system management SDR repository.

Use to update the Field Replacement Unit (FRU), Sensor Data Record (SDR), and SM BIOS (SMB) flash components.

Use to upgrade the BIOS. 55

Use to update the Firmware. 56

Use to configure or view the settings of the SCSI host adapters and onboard SCSI devices in the server.

Hot Keys

Use the keyboard’s numeric pad to enter numbers and symbols.

Table 4. Hot Keys

To do this: Press these keys

Clear memory and reload the operating systemthis is a system reset.

Secure your system immediately. <Ctrl+Alt>+hotkey (Set your hot key combination with

<Ctrl+Alt+Del>

Setup.)

Page 34

Power-On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the server board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test. The length of time needed to test memory depends on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in flash memory.

1. Turn on your video monitor and server. After a few seconds POST begins to run.

2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages appear:

Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP

3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the

above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process continues, and the system beeps once. Then this message appears:

Operating system not found

If you do not press <F2> and DO have an operating system loaded, the boot process continues, and this message appears:

Press <Ctrl><A> to enter SCSI Utility

4. Press <Ctrl+A> if there are SCSI devices installed. When the utility opens, follow the

displayed instructions to configure the onboard SCSI host adapter settings and to run the SCSI utilities. Also see “Using the Adaptec SCSI Utility” on page 56. If you do not enter the

SCSI utility, the boot process continues.

5. Press <Esc> during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. From this menu you

can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup.

After POST completes, the system beeps once. What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating system loaded and

if so, which one. If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a fatal system

error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears.

Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your service representative. For a listing of beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.

34 Configuration Software and Utilities

Page 35

Using BIOS Setup

This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the server configuration defaults. You can run Setup with or without an operating system being present. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery backed CMOS; the rest of the values are stored in flash memory. The values take effect when you boot the server. POST uses these values to configure the hardware; if the values and the actual hardware do not agree, POST generates an error message. You must then run Setup to specify the correct configuration.

Record Your Setup Settings

If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run Setup again. Referring to the worksheets could make your task easier.

If You Cannot Access Setup

If the diskette drive is misconfigured so that you cannot access it to run a utility from a diskette, you may need to clear CMOS memory. You will need to open the server, change a jumper setting, use Setup to check and set diskette drive options, and change the jumper back. For a step-by-step

procedure, see Chapter 5, under the heading, “CMOS Jumper.”

Starting Setup

You can enter and start Setup under several conditions:

• When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test

• When you reboot the server by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Del> while at the DOS operating system

prompt

• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS” position

(enabled); for the procedure, see Chapter 5, under the heading “CMOS Jumper”

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

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

NOTE

✏

If the BIOS setup option “POST Diagnostic Screen” is enabled (Default), you will not see the message “Press <F2> to enter SETUP”. This message is hidden by the Manufacturer’s Splash screen. To see the message, press the <ESC> key while the splash screen is displayed. This will temporarily disable the splash screen allowing you to see the message.

In a fourth 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.

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the Server Board Resource software CD shipped with the server board. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:

• allows viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log

• allows the viewing of the system management FRU information

• allows the viewing of the system management SDR repository

What You Need to Do

The SSU may be run directly from the Server Resource CD (by booting the server system to the CD and selecting “Utilities”) or from a set of DOS diskettes.

If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from the Server Resource CD by booting to the CD and selecting “Create Diskettes.” Alternatively, if you have a Windows 95 or Windows NT workstation, you can insert the CD into that system and create diskettes from the “Utilities” menu of the graphical user interface.

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use the flash resident Setup utility to enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you exit the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.

Running the SSU from the CD

Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automatically run. If it boots from a different media, the SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the SSU starts in the local execution mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.

The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the SSU is run from nonwritable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) can not be saved.

The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other ROM-DOScompatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.

44 Configuration Software and Utilities

Page 45

Running the SSU Remotely via an Emergency Management Card

Using graphical hardware redirection via the emergency management card 2, you can see the SSU Console in VGA graphics mode, control the mouse, and control the keyboard from a local system connected to a remote server by a network or modem.

The emergency management card 2 provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support. Video memory and user input are sent to a remote location through either a modem or Ethernet link and displayed by the Remote Control console. This solution requires an emergency management card 2 card installed in the remote server and the Remote Control software available on the local system. The SSU will execute exclusively on the remote server. Any files required for the SSU to execute must be on the remote server.

Starting the SSU

SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality the SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files.

1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.

2. There are two ways to start the SSU. a. After creating set of three SSU diskettes from the CD: Insert the first SSU diskette in

drive A, and press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette. Insert the second diskette when prompted.

b. Directly from the Server Resource CD: Insert the Server Resource CD into your

CD ROM drive and press the reset button or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot. When prompted to do so, press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu, select the Boot Device Priority option and then select CD-ROM as your primary boot device. Save those settings and exit BIOS Setup. The server will boot from the CD-ROM and display a menu of options. Follow the instructions in the menu to start the SSU.

3. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.

4. The mouse driver loa ds if it is avai lab le ; press <Enter > to continu e.

5. This message appear s:

Please wait while the Application Framework loads....

6. When the main window of the SSU appears, you can customize the user interface before continuing.

Customizing the SSU

The SSU lets you customize the user interface according to your preferences. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU. There are four user customizable settings:

• Color - this button lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the screen with predefined color combinations. The color changes are instantaneous.

• Mode - this button lets you set the desired expertise level.  novice  intermediate  expert

The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section and what actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

• Language - this button lets you change the strings in the SSU to strings of the appropriate language. For a new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

• Other - this button lets you change other miscellaneous options in the SSU. The changes take effect immediately.

To change the interface default values:

Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the Preferences section of the SSU Main window.

or Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>.

or Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt + underlined letter).

NOTE

✏

If you run the SSU from nonwritable media (like a CD-ROM), these preferences will be lost when you exit the SSU.

Launching a Task

It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although so me task s may require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping the task as the center of operation until you close the task window.

To launch a task:

In the SSU Main window, double-click on the task name under Available Tasks to display the main window for the selected task.

or Highlight the task name, and click on OK.

or Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>.

FRUSDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based

program used to update the server management subsystem’s product level FRU, SDR, and the SM BIOS (SMB) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility

• discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file

• displays the FRU information

• updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management

Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area

• updates the SMB area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device

• generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC

When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility

You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if you replace an array of fans, you need to run the utility. It programs the sensors that need to be monitored for server management.

Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, and reconnect the power cords.

What You Need to Do

The FRUSDR Load Utility may be run directly from the Configuration Software CD or from a diskette you create from the CD. It can be extracted from the CD by booting to the CD and selecting “Make Diskettes” or by inserting the CD into a PC running Windows 95 or NT and selecting the “Utilities” secti on.

NOTE

✏

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you are done with the FRUSDR utility.

Page 51

How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility

†

This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The utility requires the following supporting files:

• one or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units

• a .cfg file describing the system configuration

• a .sdr file describing the sensors in the system

Command Line Format

The basic command line format is

frusdr [/?] [/h] [/d {smb, fru, sdr}] [/cfg filename.cfg] /p

Command Description

frusdr Is the name of the utility. /? or /h Displays usage information. /d {smb, fru, sdr} Only displays requested area. /cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file. /p Pause between blocks of data.

Parsing the Command Line

Ver. 6.22, and later versions. The

The FRUSDR Load Utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function may consist of two parameters; for example, cfg filename.cfg. Any invalid parameters result in displaying an error message and exiting the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The /p flag may be used in conjunction with any of the other options.

Displaying Usage Information

When the utility is run with the /? or /h command line flags, the following message is displayed:

FRU & SDR Load Utility Version 4.0 Usage: frusdr Is the name of the utility.

/? Or /h Displays usage information. /d {smb,fru,sdr} Only displays requested area. /cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file. /p Pause between blocks of data.

Displaying a Given Area

When the utility is run with the /d SMB, /d FRU, or /d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is displayed. Each area represents a sensor; one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.

SBT2 Server Board Product Guide 51

Page 52

Displaying SM BIOS Area

The SM BIOS area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a number when the field is a number. Each SM BIOS area displayed is headed with the SM BIOS area designated name. Each field has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number.

Displaying FRU Area

The FRU area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a number when the field is a number. Each FRU area displayed is headed with the FRU area designated name. Each field has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number. The Board, Chassis, and Product FRU areas end with an END OF FIELDS CODE that indicates there is no more data in this area. The Internal Use area is displayed in hex format, 16 bytes per line.

Displaying SDR Area

The SDR nonvolatile storage area is displayed in the following hex format. The data is separated by a Sensor Record Number X header, where X is the number of that sensor record in the SDR area. The next line after the header is the sensor record data in hex format delineated by spaces. Each line holds up to 16 bytes. The data on each line is followed by the same data in ASCII format; nonprintable characters are substituted by a period (.).

Using Specified CFG File

The utility can be run with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename can be any DOS accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the specified CFG file and uses the entries in the configuration file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load into nonvolatile storage.

Displaying Utility Title and Version

The utility displays its title:

FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version 4.0

Where X.XX is the revision number for the utility.

Configuration File

The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to perform various tasks needed to ultimately load the proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.

Prompting for Product Level FRU Information

Through the use of a Configuration File, the utility may prompt you for FRU information.

Filtering Sensor Data Record From the SDR File

The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. These records may need to be filtered based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of the SDRs.

52 Configuration Software and Utilities

Page 53

Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area

After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. The SDR file is loaded via the .cfg File. Then the utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the Configuration File. Nontagged SDRs are automatically programmed. The utility also copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file. It contains an image of what was loaded, and the TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.

Updating FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area

After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU nonvolatile storage area. First it verifies the Common Header area and checksum from the specified FRU file. The Internal Use Area is read out of the specified .FRU file and is programmed into the nonvolatile storage. The Chassis, Board, Product and MultiRecord areas are read out of the specif ied .FRU file, if they exist, then those areas are programmed into the FRU nonvolatile storage. All the areas are also written to the FRU.TMP file, which is useful for debugging the server.

Updating SMB FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area

After programming the BMC FRU area, the corresponding SMB fields are automatically updated when the server is re-booted.

Cleaning Up and Exiting

If an update was successfully performed, the utility displays an appropriate message and then exits with a DOS exit code of zero.

If the utility fails, it immediately exits with an error message and a non-zero DOS exit code.

General Procedur e to Change Jumper Setting

The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the same for most of the jumper functions, so we will describe it here.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2. Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect the AC power cord.

3. Remove the side cover. You do not need to remove the server board from the chassis, and you probably do not need to remove any add-in boards.

4. Put a jumper on the pins specified for the desired setting.

5. Reinstall the side cover, connect the power cord, and turn on the system for the change to take effect.

6. You will need to remove the jumper back to its original setting to restore proper functionality.

CMOS Jumper

The jumper at pins 1-2 controls whether settings stored in CMOS nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) are retained during a system reset.

Procedure to restore the system’s CMOS and RTC to default values:

1. See “General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting” on page 68.

2. Install a jumper on pins 1 and 2 (the Clear CMOS memory position).

3. Reinstall the side cover for your saf ety, and connect the power cord to the sys te m.

4. Turn the system on. Wait for POST to complete and for the messages

jumper”

and “Press F2 to enter Setup” to appear. This automatically reprograms CMOS

and RTC to their default settings.

5. Enter Setup and make any changes necessary (for example, changing the boot device). Press <F10> to save the new Setup configuration and exit Setup.

6. Turn off the system, and disconne ct the power cord from the sys te m.

7. Remove the side cover.

8. Remove the jumper from pins 1-2.

9. Reinstall the side cover, and connect the power cord to the system.

10. Run BIOS Setup or the SSU to verify the correct settings. See Chapter 3.

“NVRAM cleared by

Password Jumper

The jumper at pins 3-4 control whether the user and supervisor passwords are retained or cleared during a system reset.

Procedure to clear the current password and then enter a new one:

1. See “General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting” on page 68.

2. Install a jumper on pins 3-4.

3. Reinstall the side cover for your saf ety, and connect the power cord to the syst e m.

4. Turn the system on, and wait for POST to complete. This automatically clears the password.

5. Turn off the system, and disconnect the power cord.

6. Remove the side cover.

7. Remove the jumper from pins 3 and 4.

8. Reinstall the side cover, and connect the power cord to the system.

9. Run Setup to specify a new password. See Chapter 3.

Current Usage

NOTE

✏

Both processors pull power from +5V. This may limit the number of drives and/or add-in cards you may install.

As an overall current usage limitation on the power supply, do not exceed a combined power output of 195 watts for the +5 and +3.3 volt outputs.

The PCI slots on the server board are rated at a maximum of 5 amperes per slot. The maximum power allowed for each slot is 20 watts at +5 volts. The average current usage per slot should not exceed 3.0 amperes per slot; that is, 15 watts.

The cooling efficiency varies per slot; the re fore, en sure th at adequ ate coo ling is avail able in the

target slot—especially in an expansion slot drawing more than 2.0 amperes.

Calculating Power Consumption

The total combined wattage for the system configuration must be less than the output of your power supply. Use the two worksheets in this section to calculate the power used by your server boards. For current and voltage requirements of add-in boards and peripherals, see your vendor documents.
