General Safety

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

• Observe good housekeeping in the area of the machines during and after maintenance.

• When lifting any heavy object:

1. Ensure you can stand safely without slipping.

2. Distribute the weight of the object equally between your feet.

3. Use a slow lifting force. Never move suddenly, or twist,when you attempt to lift.

4. Lift by standing or by pushing up with you leg muscles; this action removes the strain from the muscles in your back. Do not attempt to lift any object that weighs more than 16 kg (35lb) or any object that you think is too heavy for you.

• Do not perform any action that causes hazards to the customer, or makes the equipment unsafe.

• Before you start the machine, ensure that other service representatives and the customer’s personnel are not in a hazardous position.

• Place removed covers and other parts in a safe place, away from all personnel, while you are servicing the machine.

• Keep your tool case away from walk areas so that other people will not trip over it.

• Do not wear loose clothing that can be trapped in the moving parts of a machine. Ensure that your sleeves are fastened or rolled up above your elbows. If your hair is long, fasten it.

• Insert the ends of your necktie or scarf inside clothing, or fasten it with a nonconductive clip, approximately 8 centimeters (3 inches) from the end.

• Do not wear jewelry, chains, metal-frame eyeglasses, or metal fasteners for your clothing.

Remember: Metal objects are good electrical conductors.

• Wear safety glasses when you are: hammering, drilling soldering, cutting wire, attaching springs, using solvents, or working in any other conditions that might be hazardous to your eyes.

• After service, reinstall all safety shields, guards, labels, and ground wires. Replace any safety device that is worn or defective.

• Reinstall all covers correctly before returning the machine to the customer.

Electrical Safety

CAUTION:

Electrical current from power, telephone, and communication cables can be hazardous. To avoid personal injury or equipment damage, disconnect the server system power cords, telecommunication systems, networks, and modems before you open the server covers, unless instructed otherwise in the installation and configuration procedures.

Important: Disconnect all power before performing a mechanical inspection.

Observe the following rules when working on electrical equipment.

• Use only approved tools and test equipment. Some hand tools have handles covered with a soft material that does not protect you when working with live electrical currents.

• Many customers have rubber floor mats (near their equipment) that contain small conductive fibers to decrease electrostatic discharges. Do not use this type of mat to protect yourself from electrical shock.

vi Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 Installation and User’s Guide

• Find the emergency power-off (EPO) switch, disconnect switch, or electrical outlet in the room. If an electrical accident occurs, you can quickly turn off the switch or unplug the power cord.

• Do not work alone under hazardous conditions, or near equipment that has hazardous voltages.

• Disconnect all power before:

— Performing a mechanical inspection — Working near power supplies — Removing or installing main units

• Before you start to work on the machine, unplug the power cord. If you cannot unplug it, ask the customer to power-off the wall box (that supplies power to the machine) and to lock the wall box in the off position.

• If you need to work on a machine that has exposed electrical circuits, observe the following precautions:

— Ensure that another person, familiar with the power-off controls, is near you. Remember:

another person must be there to switch off the power, if necessary.

— Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment; keep the other

hand in your pocket or behind your back.

— Remember: There must be a complete circuit to cause electrical shock. By observing the

above rule, you may prevent a current from passing through your body.

• When using testers, set controls correctly and use the approved probe leads and accessories for that tester.

• Stand on suitable rubber mats (obtained locally, if necessary) to insulate you from grounds such as metal floor strips and machine frames.

• Observe the special safety precautions when you work with very high voltages; these instructions are in the safety sections of the maintenance information. Use extreme care when measuring high voltages.

• Regularly inspect and maintain your electrical hand tools for safe operational condition.

• Do not use worn or broken tools and testers.

• Never assume that power has been disconnected from a circuit. First, check that it has been powered-off.

• Always look carefully for possible hazards in your work area. Examples of these hazards are moist floors, nongrounded power extension cables, power surges, and missing safety grounds.

• Do not touch live electrical circuits with the reflective surface of a plastic dental inspection mirror. The surface is conductive; such touching can cause personal injury and machine damage.

• When the power is on and power supply units, blowers and fans are removed from their normal operating position in a machine, do not attempt to service the units. This practice ensures correct grounding of the units.

• If an electrical accident occurs, use caution:

— Switch power off — Send another person to get help/medical aid

Handling electrostatic discharge-sensitive devices

Any computer part containing transistors or integrated circuits (IC) should be considered sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD damage can occur when there is a difference in charge between objects. Protect against ESD damage by equalizing the charge so that the server, the part, the work mat, and the person handling the part are all at the same charge.

✏ NOTE

Use product-specific ESD procedures when they exceed the requirements noted here.

Make sure that the ESD-protective devices you use have been certified (ISO 9000) as fully effective.

When handling ESD-sensitive parts:

• Keep the parts in protective packages until they are inserted into the product.

• Avoid contact with other people.

• Wear a grounded wrist strap against your skin to eliminate static on your body.

• Prevent the part from touching your clothing. Most clothing is insulative and retains a charge even when you are wearing a wrist strap.

• Use the black side of a grounded work mat to provide a static-free work surface. The mat is especially useful when handling ESD-sensitive devices.

• Select a grounding system, such as those in the following list, to provide protection that meets the specific service requirement.

— Attach the ESD ground clip to any frame ground, ground braid, or green-wire ground. — Use an ESD common ground or reference point when working on a double-insulated or

battery-operated system. You can use coax or connector-outside shells on these systems.

— Use the round ground-prong of the AC plug on AC-operated computers.

✏ NOTE

The use of a grounding system is desirable but not required to protect against ESD damage.

DANGER

Electrical current from power, telephone and communication cables is hazardous.

To avoid a shock hazard:

• Do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform installation, maintenance, or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.

• Connect all power cords to a properly wired and grounded electrical outlet.

• Connect to properly wired outlets any equipment that will be attached to this product.

• When possible, use one hand only to connect or disconnect signal cables.

4 Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 Installation and User’s Guide

Intel Server Compute Blade SBX82 features

The design of your blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management and data storage. Your blade server uses the following features and technologies:

• Disk drive support The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch SCSI disk drives.

• Intel Architecture Intel architecture technology leverages proven innovative technologies to build powerful,

scalable, reliable Intel-processor-based servers. The technology includes features such as Light Path Diagnostics, Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA), and Advanced System Management.

• Impressive performance using the latest processor technology

Your blade server supports up to two Intel least one processor installed; you can install an additional processor to further enhance performance and symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) capability.

• Integrated network environment support The blade server comes with two integrated dual Gigabit Ethernet controllers. Each Ethernet controller has an interface for connecting to 10/100/1000-Mbps networks through an Ethernet-

compatible switch module on the SBCE unit. The blade server automatically selects between 10BASE-T and 100/1000BASE-TX environments. Each controller provides full-duplex (FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on the Ethernet local area network (LAN). The controllers support Wake on LAN technology.

Xeon™ processors. The blade server comes with at

• I/O expansion The blade server comes with two connectors on the system board for an optional expansion card, such as the Intel

Blade Server Fibre Channel Expansion Card or the Intel® Blade Server Ethernet Expansion Card, for adding more network communication capabilities to the blade server.

• Large system memory

The memory bus in your blade server supports up to 8GB of system memory. The memory controller provides support for up to four industry-standard 1.8 V, 184-pin, double-data-rate (DDR2-400), PC3200, registered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) with error correcting code (ECC) DIMMs.

• Light Path Diagnostics

The Light Path Diagnostics feature provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to assist in isolating problems with the blade server. An LED on the blade server control panel is lit if an unusual condition or a problem occurs. If this happens, you can look at the LEDs on the system board to locate the source of the problem.

• PCI Express*

PCI Express* is a fully serial interface that can be used for universal connectivity for use as a chip-to-chip interconnect, I/O interconnect for adapter cards, and an I/O attachment point to Gigabit networking devices. PCI Express bridges a PCI Express bus to a PCI-X bus and converts the transactions on the PCI bus to transactions on the PCI-X bus. Using the expansion card connector you can add additional LAN interfaces. The expansion card connector supports PCIX 133 and bridges PCI Express into PCI-X 133.

• Power throttling

Each blade server is powered by two SBCE unit redundant 2000 W power supply modules. By enforcing a power policy known as oversubscription, the SBCE unit can load-share power between two power modules to ensure efficient power for each device in the SBCE unit. This policy is enforced when the initial power is applied to the SBCE unit or when a blade server is inserted into the SBCE unit.

The possible settings for this policy are: — Redundant without performance impact — Redundant with performance impact — Non-redundant You can configure and monitor the power environment using the management module. For more

information about configuring and using power throttling, refer to your management module manual.

2 Using power, controls, jumpers, switches, and

indicators

This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the blade server, what the controls and indicators mean, and where the system board jumpers and switches are located and how to use them.

Turning on the blade server

After you connect the blade server to power through the SBCE unit, the blade server can start in any of the following ways:

• You can press the power-control button on the front of the blade server (behind the control panel door) to start the server.

✏ NOTE

Wait until the power-on LED on the blade server flashes slowly before pressing the blade server power-control button. During this time, the service processor in the management module is initializing; therefore, the power-control button on the blade server does not respond.

✏ NOTE

While the blade server is powering up, the power-on LED on the front of the server is lit. See “Understanding the control panel and LEDs” on page 13 for the power-on LED states.

• If a power failure occurs, the SBCE unit and then the blade server can start automatically when power is restored if the blade server is configured through the management module to do so.

• You can turn on the blade server remotely by means of the service processor in the management module.

• If your operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature and the blade server power-on LED is flashing slowly, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the blade server, if the Wake on LAN feature has not been disabled through the management-module Web interface.

Turning off the blade server

When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the SBCE unit. The blade server can respond to requests from the service processor, such as a remote request to turn on the blade server. To remove all power from the blade server, you must remove it from the SBCE unit.

Shut down your operating system before you turn off the blade server. See your operating-system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.

The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:

• You can press the power-control button on the blade server behind the control panel door. See “Understanding the control panel and LEDs” on page 13. This starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is supported by your operating system.

✏ NOTE

After turning off the blade server, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the powercontrol button to turn on the blade server again.

• If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the power-control button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the blade server.

• The management module can turn off the blade server.

✏ NOTE

After turning off the blade server, wait at least 30 seconds for its hard disk drives or flash drives to stop before you remove the blade server from the SBCE unit.

The LED on this button flashes while the request is being processed, then is lit when the ownership of the keyboard, mouse, and video has been transferred to this blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds to switch the keyboard, video, and mouse control to the blade server.

Although the keyboard that is attached to the SBCE unit is a PS/2*-style keyboard, communication with it is through the USB. The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and use the keyboard and mouse. The SBCE unit uses USB for internal communication with these devices. When you are running an operating system that does not have USB device drivers, such as in the following situations, the keyboard responds very slowly:

• Running the blade server integrated diagnostics

• Running a BIOS update diskette on a blade server

• Updating the diagnostics on a blade server

• Running the Broadcom firmware CD for a blade server

If there is no response when you press the keyboard/mouse/video select button, you can use the management-module Web interface to determine whether local control has been disabled on the blade server.
