Processor
The SE7500WV2 accommodates one or two Intel Xeon processors with 512k cache in the
INT3/FCPGA Socket 604 package. This processor uses the .13 micron technology. Check the
Intel Customer Support website for the latest list of supported processors see:
http://support.intel.com/
Memory
The system board has six 168-pin DIMM slots each supporting 72-bit ECC registered DDR
DIMMs (DDR-200 or DDR-266 compatible). Memory is partitioned in three banks. You may
install a minimum of 256 MB (128MB x 2) and as much as 12 GB. Memory must be installed in
pairs, starting with bank 1 (slots 1B and 1A).
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/
PCI Riser Slots
The server board has two PCI riser slots. Riser slot B provides the following features:
• 184 pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector
• Support for either a 1-slot or a 3-slot PCI riser card
• Support for both full length and low profile PCI cards
Riser C provides the following features:
• 184 pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector
• Support for either a 1-slot or a 3-slot PCI riser card
• Support for only low profile PCI cards
Video
The SE7500WV2 uses an ATI RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator with 8 MB of video SDRAM.
The embedded SVGA video subsystem supports:
• Resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 under 2D and 1024 x 768 under 3D
• CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate
The server board supports disabling of the onboard video through the BIOS setup menu or when a
plug in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.
10 Intel Server Board SE7500WV2 Product Guide
SCSI Controller
The SCSI version of the server board includes an embedded Adaptec† AIC-7899W controller
providing dual Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI channels.
The SCSI bus is terminated on the server board with active terminators that cannot be disabled.
The onboard device must always be at one end of the bus. The device at the other end of the cable
must also be terminated. LVD devices generally do not have termination built-in and need to have
a termination source provided. Non-LVDs devices generally are terminated through a jumper or
resistor pack on the device itself.
ATA-100 Controller
The ATA version of the server board provides an embedded dual channel ATA-100 bus through the
use of the Promise Technology
independent ATA-100 channels that share a single 32-bit, 33-MHz PCI bus master interface as a
multifunction device. The controller supports:
• DMA and PIO IDE drives and ATAPI devices
• ATA and ATAPI proposal PIO Mode 0, 1, 2, 3, 4; DMA Mode 0, 1, 2; and Ultra DMA Mode
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
• IDE transfer rates up to 100 MB/sec per channel
• Host interface complies with PCI Local Bus Specification Revision 2.2
†
PDC20277 ATA-100 controller. The controller contains two
IDE RAID
The ATA-100 controller supports IDE RAID through both ATA-100 channels. In a RAID
configuration, multiple IDE hard drives are placed into one or more arrays of disks. Each array is
seen as an independent disk, though the array may include one, two, three, or four drives. The IDE
RAID can be configured as follows:
• RAID 0: Striping one to four drives
• RAID 1: Mirroring two drives
• RAID 1 +: Spare drive (three drives)
• RAID 0 +: One to four drives are required
RAID 0 configurations are used for high performance applications, as it doubles the sustained
transfer rate of its drives. RAID 1 configurations are primarily used for data protection. It creates
an identical drive backup to a secondary drive. Whenever a disk write is performed, the controller
sends data simultaneously to a second drive located on a different data channel. With 4 drives
attached to dual ATA-100 channels, two striped drive pairs can mirror each other (RAID 0+1) for
storage capacity and data redundancy.
Description 11
Network Controller
NOTE
✏
To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the system must be used
with a shielded LAN cable.
®
The server board uses the Intel
10Base-T/1000Base-TX network subsystems.
The 82546EB controller supports the following features:
• 32-bit PCI master interface
• Integrated IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-TX compatible PHY
• IEEE 820.3u auto-negotiation support
• Full duplex support at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps operation
• Low power +3.3 V device
On the SE7500WV2, NIC 1 can be used as both a network interface and server management
interface.
NIC Connector and Status LEDs
The 82546 controller drives LEDs on the network interface connector that indicate link/activity on
the LAN and speed of operation. The green LED indicates network connection when on and
TX/RX activity when blinking. The speed LED indicates 1000 Mbps when amber, 100 Mbps when
green, and 10 Mbps when off.
82546EB Fast Ethernet† Controller and supports two
†
Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System Setup Utility
(SSU), the server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a
predefined length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse
do not respond until the previously stored password is entered. A Y-cable can be used if both a
PS/2 mouse and keyboard are required at the same time.
RJ-45 Serial Port
The rear RJ-45 serial port is a fully functional serial port that supports any standard serial device
and provides support for serial concentrators. For server applications that use a serial concentrator
to access the server management features of the baseboard, a standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the
serial concentrator is plugged directly into the rear RJ-45 serial port. The 8 pins of the RJ-45
connector can be configured to match either of two pin-out standards used by serial port devices.
To accommodate either standard, the J5A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ-45
serial port must be jumpered appropriately according to the desired standard.
12 Intel Server Board SE7500WV2 Product Guide
NOTE
✏
By default, the RJ-45 serial port is configured to support a DSR signal.
For serial devices that require a DSR signal (default), the J5A2 jumper must be configured in
position 3-4 (Figure 3, B).
For serial devices that require a DCD signal, the jumper must be in position 1-2 (Figure 3, A).

Description 13
ACPI
The SE7500WV2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by
the ACPI 2.0 specification. 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
fans will still run.
The SE7500WV2 supports 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 CSB and the BMC are running in this state. No
context is saved by the OS or hardware.
CAUTION
The system is off only when the AC power cord is disconnected.
System Management
Intel integrates system management features into the hardware and provides additional features
through Intel
features, Intel Server Management software, and the System Setup Utility and FRU/SDR Load
Utility used to configure the hardware features.
Baseboard Management Controller
Intel server boards incorporate a baseboard management controller (BMC), which is a dedicated
microcontroller for system management activities. The BMC performs the following functions:
• Monitors system components and sensors, including processors, memory, fans, power supplies,
temperature sensors, and chassis intrusion sensors.
• Manages nonvolatile storage for the system event log (SEL), sensor data records (SDRs), and
baseboard field-replaceable unit (FRU) inventory.
• Interfaces with the emergency management port (EMP) and LAN1 port to send alerts and
interact with remote management systems.
• Provides the main front panel control functions (power on/off, reset, and so on).
®
Server Management software. This section describes the integrated hardware
14 Intel Server Board SE7500WV2 Product Guide
Field Replaceable Units and Sensor Data Records
Field replaceable units (FRUs) are major modules in the chassis that contain active electronic
circuitry. FRUs can store information-such as board serial number, part number, name, and asset
tag-that can be read using the System Setup Utility (page 49). The BMC stores FRU information
for the baseboard in a nonvolatile storage component on the board.
The BMC uses Sensor Data Records (SDRs) to identify the sensors in the system for monitoring.
SDRs provide a list of the sensors, their characteristics, location, type, and type-specific
information, such as default threshold values, factors for converting a sensor reading into the
appropriate units (mV, rpm, degrees Celsius), and information on the types of events that a sensor
can generate. The BMC stores SDR information in a nonvolatile storage component on the
baseboard.
You can use the FRU/SDR Load Utility (page 57) to initialize or update the FRU and SDR
information. Intel server boards are shipped from the factory with some sensors disabled, because
the actual configuration of the chassis is only determined when the user completes the system
configuration. Chassis-specific information in the FRU, such as chassis part number, is also absent.
For these reasons, it is important to run the FRU/SDR Load Utility as part of the system setup
process. You should also run the FRU/SDR Load Utility whenever you change the number of fans,
processors, or power supplies in the server.
System Event Log
The BMC manages a system event log (SEL), where it records significant or critical system events.
Such events include temperatures and voltages out of range, fan failures, and other sensor-related
events. The BIOS, software, and other devices can also log events by sending messages to the
BMC. The SEL is stored in nonvolatile storage.
You can view the current contents of the SEL by using the System Setup Utility (page 48).
Platform Event Management
Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is configured with the
following set of standard events:
• Temperature sensor out of range
• Voltage sensor out of range
• Fan failure
• Chassis intrusion
• Power supply fault
• BIOS uncorrectable ECC error
• BIOS POST error
• Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure
• Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch
• Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle
• System restart (reboot)
Description 15
Alerts can take either of these forms:
• Platform event pages -- the BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string.
To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency
management port (Serial 2).
• BMC LAN alerts -- the BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN.
You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the System Setup Utility (page 51).
Emergency Management Port
The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial 2 port, with either an
external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management. The BMC controls the port
and interfaces with remote access software, such as the Direct Platform Control application in Intel
Server Management.
You can configure the EMP by using the System Setup Utility (SSU) or the System Configuration
Wizard (SCW).
EMP and Serial Over LAN
The RJ-45 Serial 2 port on the back panel can be configured in several different ways: as a
standard serial port, as an Emergency Management Port, or for serial output redirection over a
LAN. You can configure these settings using either the SSU or the SCW.
NOTES
✏
Important Intel SR1300 Server Chassis considerations: If you have
configured the Serial 2 port for use as an Emergency Management Port and
“always available”, the Serial 2 port will be accessible only by remote server
management software. The operating system will never be able to access the
port.
If you have configured the Serial 2 port for Serial Over LAN, the port’s
functionality will only be impacted when there is an active Serial Over LAN
session from a remote console. At all other times either the operating system
or EMP will control the port, depending on your configuration.
Intel® Server Management
Intel Server Management (ISM) is a system management package that is included on the ISM CD.
ISM applications interact with the integrated hardware system management features of the server to
allow you to monitor and manage a server from a remote workstation:
• Remote connection from a Windows
or direct serial connection to the emergency management port on the server.
• Real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors.
• Emergency management when the server is off (but still connected to AC power) lets you
verify the state of the server, diagnose hardware problems, and power on/off or reset the server.
• Run the System Setup Utility to change the server configuration.
†
-based client workstation over a LAN, or over a modem
16 Intel Server Board SE7500WV2 Product Guide
ISM can use an optional service partition on the server that you are managing. The service partition
is a special disk partition on the system drive that contains a ROM-DOS
DOS-based utilities, including the System Setup Utility, FRU/SDR Load Utility, and Remote
Diagnostics. The server can be booted to the service partition, either locally or remotely, to provide
access to the utilities.

Security
Intrusion Switch Monitoring
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel Server Management server
management software monitors the chassis intrusion switch if one is installed. Opening an access
cover will transmit an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and server
management software process the signal. The system can be configured through ISM to respond to
an intrusion a number of ways, including powering down or locking the keyboard.
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 period¾1 to 120 minutes.
• Set and enable a 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.
Description 17
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.
• 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 remote server management or power control
via the watchdog timer.
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 4. 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 operating 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
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
Control access to using
the SSU: set supervisor
password
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.
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).
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a
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 6).

system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests
the keyboard if it is present and displays a message.
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 Installation Procedures
Rearrange the Standoffs
If your chassis does not have board mount standoffs placed as shown, you must rearrange them so
they match the holes in the server board. Failure to properly rearrange the metal standoffs may
cause the server board to malfunction and may permanently damage it. Your chassis may be
different from the illustration.

Install the Server Board
To ensure proper grounding and support, it is recommended that you install screws in all the
required mounting holes for your chassis. You may need to move cables out of the way to properly
install your server board.
1. While placing the board on the chassis standoffs, carefully position the board I/O connectors
into the rear chassis I/O openings.
2. Adjust board position to align mounting holes with standoffs.
3. Using the screws that came with your chassis, mount the board to the chassis.
NOTE
✏
If you install the server board into an Intel SR1300 or SR2300 chassis, you
will not use all of the mounting holes. See your chassis documentation for
more details.
