Processor

The Intel® Server Board SHG2 supports one or two Intel Xeon processors from 1.8 GHz to

2.4 GHz, with 512 KB of L2 advanced transfer cache packaged in a 603-pin micro-PGA (Pin-Grid Array).

When two processors are installed, both processors must be identical. When only one processor is installed, the processor must be installed in the CPU1 socket, which is the socket closest to the corner of the server board.

For a complete list of supported processors, see:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SHG2

Memory

The Intel Server Board SHG2 contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs.

The SHG2 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is 256 MB, using two identical 128 MB DIMMs. The maximum configurable memory size is 12 GB using six 2 GB DIMMs.

The SDRAM interface runs at a frequency of 200 MHz; however 266 MHz memory can be used. The memory controller supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error detection with Chipkill continue to run even in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure.

Memory can be implemented with either single-sided (one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs.

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:

Description 13

SCSI Controller

The embedded Adaptec AIC-7899W dual function SCSI controller provides Ultra160 (LVDS), (Ultra 2), and Ultra wide (SE) SCSI interfaces as two independent PCI functions.

The Intel SHG2 baseboard provides active terminators, termination voltage, resetable fuse, and protection diode for both SCSI channels.

Modular RAID Capable PCI-X Slot 6

The SHG2 server board supports a modular RAID controller, such as the Intel® RAID Controller SRCMR, on PCI-X Slot 6. An add-in card installed in this slot leverages the onboard SCSI controller along with its own built-in intelligence to provide a complete RAID controller subsystem onboard. If a specified modular RAID card is installed, then SCSI interrupts are routed to the RAID card instead of the PCI-X interrupt controller effectively hiding the host-based I/O device from the system. The SHG2 Server Board uses an implementation commonly referred to as “RAIDIOS” to support this feature.

To use this feature, see “Enabling PCI-X on Slot 6 and Disabling On-board SCSI” on page 90.

For a complete list of qualified add-in cards, see:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SHG2

IDE Controller

The system includes a dual-channel enhanced IDE 32-bit interface controller for intelligent disk drives with disk controller electronics onboard. The controller has two connectors, Primary and Secondary, located on the system board, each of which supports a master and a slave device.

The device supports:

• PIO, ATA-100 Synchronous DMA, and bus master IDE transfer modes

• Ultra DMA 33/66/100 synchronous DMA transfers

• Master/slave IDE modes

• Up to four devices

USB Interface

The SHG2 Server Board provides three external USB connectors on the rear I/O panel. The external connectors are defined by the USB Specification, Revision 1.1. One additional USB connector is supported internally through a 10-pin header on the server board that can be cabled to a front panel board. All four ports function identically and with the same bandwidth.

14 Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide

Network Controllers

The server board includes two integrated onboard Network Interface Controllers (NICs).

One NIC is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel 82550PM 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 2.2

• 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

• On-chip counters for network management

• Auto-detect and auto-switching 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

• Low-power +3.3 V device

• Alert on LAN functionality

The second NIC is an Intel 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller capable of providing 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates. It is a single-chip device containing both the MAC and PHY layer functions.

The 82544GC utilizes a 64-bit/100 MHz direct interface to the PCI-X bus. It is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. It also supports the PCI-X extension to the PCI Local Bus, Revision 1.0a.

NOTE

✏

If you install a 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI card in Add-in card slots 1 or 2, you will slow the PCI-X bus to the speed of the card you install. This will also slow the 82455GC’s interface to the PCI-X bus.

Network Teaming Features

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

• 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.

Description 15

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 server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.

AFT is implemented with two 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 adapter automatically takes over.

Preferred Primary Adapter

With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For example if you have a server with an Intel adapter and an Intel



PRO/1000 adapter as the secondary, you would want the PRO/100 Intelligent



PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter as the primary

Server adapter to be the preferred primary. In this scenario, if the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter fails, the PRO/1000 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, the Intel



PROSet II 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 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 server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch.

16 Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide

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.

ACPI

The SHG2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b. An ACPI-aware operating system can put the system into a sleep 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 SHG2 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 real time clock (RTC) section of the chipset and the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) are running in this state.

CAUTION

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

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® 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 locking the keyboard, for example.

Description 17

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 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.

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.

18 Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide

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 BIOS Setup utility.

Table 3. 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 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.
