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 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.

CMOS Configuration Pins 1-2 should be jumpered for normal system operation.

If pins 2-3 are jumpered, the system will enter a configuration menu that is only available by jumpering these pins. These pins should not be jumpered for normal operation.

If the jumper is removed, the system will attempt to recover the BIOS by loading the BIOS code into the flash device from a floppy disk. This is typically used when the BIOS has become corrupted. The jumper should not be removed for normal operation.

Clear CMOS Pins 1-2 should be jumpered for normal system operation.

If pins 2-3 are jumpered, the CMOS settings will be cleared on the next reset. These pins should not be jumpered for normal operation.

Hardware Requirements

To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements outlined below. For a list of qualified components, see the links under

"Additional Information and Software."

Processor

Memory

One Intel® Pentium® 4 processor, Pentium® D processor, Celeron® D processor, or Pentium links under "Additional Information and Software."

The Server Board SE7230NH1-E provides four DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 2A. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets 1B and 2B.

A minimum of one 256MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A. This uses singlechannel interleave. However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Except for the option of installing a single DIMM in socket 1A or 1B, DIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as follows:

processor Extreme Edition. For a complete list of supported processors, see the

• DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first.

• DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and

DIMM 1B if four DIMMs are to be used.

DIMMs must meet the following requirements:

• DDR2 400/533/667 , un-buffered, DDR2 DIMM modules

• DIMM organization: x72 ECC or x 64 Non-ECC

• Pin count: 240

• DIMM capacity: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB DIMMs

• Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0

• Interface: SSTL2

For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under "Additional

Information and Software."

In order to operate in Dual Channel Dynamic Paging Mode, the following conditions must be met:

• Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B

• Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location)

Intel® Server Board SE7230NH1-E and Intel® Server Platform SR1475NH1-E User’s Guide 7

Installing only 3 DIMMs is not supported. Do not use DIMMs that are not “matched” (same type and speed). Use of identical memory parts is always the preferred method.See the Intel information regarding the memory sub-system.

2 Server Utilities

Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. See “Additional Information and Software” for a link to the Technical Product Specification where you will find details about specific BIOS setup screens.

Starting Setup

You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:

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

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

position (enabled)

In the two conditions listed above, during the Power On Self Test (POST), you will see this prompt:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see 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.

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”.

Setup Menus

Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for any reason, the feature’s value field is inaccessible.

Table 4 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup menus.
