CAUTION
Lithium Battery: See "Replacing the Backup Battery" on page 68 of this
product guide for instructions on replacing and disposing of the Lithium
Battery.
Processor
Each Intel Pentium III Xeon processor is packaged in a single edge contact (S.E.C.) cartridge. The
cartridge includes the processor core with an integrated 32 KB primary (L1) cache, the secondary
(L2) cache, a thermal plate, and a plastic cover.
The processor core and L2 cache components are on a pre-assembled printed circuit board,
approximately 5 inches by 6 inches. The L2 cache and processor core L1 cache interface use a
private bus isolated from the processor host bus. The L2 cache bus operates at the processor core
frequency.
Each S.E.C. cartridge connects to the baseboard through a 330-pin SC330.1 compliant edge
connector. A retention module attached to the baseboard secures the cartridge. Depending on
configuration, the system supports one to four processors.
The processor external interface is MP-ready and operates at 100 MHz. The processor contains a
local Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (APIC) unit for interrupt handling in
multiprocessor (MP) and uniprocessor (UP) environments.
Table 2. SKA4 Pentium Xeon Processor Family Support Matrix

512k, 1M, 2M Yes
The L2 cache is located on the substrate of the S.E.C. cartridge. The cache:
• Is offered in 512 KB, 1 MB, and 2 MB configurations
• Has ECC
• Operates at the full core clock rate
Baseboard Description 15
Memory
Main memory resides on an add-in board, called a memory module, designed for the SKA4
baseboard. The memory module contains slots for 16 DIMMs, each of which must be at least
64 MB, and is attached to the baseboard through a 330-pin connector, called the Memory
Expansion Card Connector (MECC). The memory module supports PC-100 compliant registered
ECC SDRAM memory modules. The ECC used for the memory module is capable of correcting
single-bit errors (SBEs) and detecting 100 percent of double-bit errors over one code word. Nibble
error detection is also provided.
System memory begins at address 0 and is continuous (flat addressing) up to the maximum amount
of DRAM installed (exception: system memory is noncontiguous in the ranges defined as memory
holes using configuration registers). The system supports both base (conventional) and extended
memory.
• Base memory is located at addresses 00000h to 9FFFFh (the first 1 MB).
• Extended memory begins at address 0100000h (1 MB) and extends to 3FFFFFFFFh (16 GB),
which is the limit of supported addressable memory. The top of physical memory is a
maximum of 16 GB (to 3FFFFFFFFh).
Memory amounts from 256 MB to 16 GB of DIMM are supported, with a 64/72-bit
four-way-interleaved pathway to main memory, which is also located on the module. Therefore,
data transfers between MADPs and DIMMs is in four-way interleave fashion. Each of the four
DIMMs must be populated in a bank. The 16 slots are divided into four banks of four slots each.
They are labeled A through D. Bank A contains DIMM sockets A1, A2, A3, and A4. Banks B, C,
and D each contain 4 DIMM sockets and are named in the same fashion. There are silk screens on
the module next to each DIMM socket to label its bank number. For the best thermal results,
populate the banks from A to D. For example, populate bank A and then bank B. For best
performance results, populate adjacent banks. For example, populate bank A and then bank C.

NOTE
✏
Based on the chipset, addressable memory can be extended to 16 GB.
However, some server systems are not thermally configured to support all
16 GB. Consult the documentation accompanying your server system to
determine the maximum memory configuration of your server system.
Some operating systems and application programs use base memory while others use both
conventional and extended memory. Examples are
†
• Base memory: Microsoft MS-DOS
†
UNIX
• Conventional and extended memory: IBM OS/2, Microsoft Windows NT, and various UNIX
MS-DOS does not use extended memory; however, some MS-DOS utility programs like RAM
disks, disk caches, print spoolers, and windowing environments use extended memory for better
performance.
The BIOS 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 system via
configuration registers.

Baseboard Description 17
Peripherals
Super I/O Chip (SIO)
The National† PC97317VUL Super I/O Plug and Play Compatible with ACPI Compliant
Controller/Extender device supports two serial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, and
PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse. The system provides the connector interface for each port.
Serial Ports
Both serial ports can be relocated. Each serial port can be set to one of four different COMx ports,
and each can be enabled separately. When disabled, serial port interrupts are available to add-in
boards.
Parallel Port
The SKA4 baseboard provides a 25-pin Parallel Port connector. The SIO provides an IEEE
1284-compliant 25-pin bi-directional parallel port. BIOS programming of the SIO registers enable
the parallel port, and determine the port address and interrupt. When disabled, the interrupt is
available to add-in cards.
Add-in Board Slots
The baseboard has eight slots for PCI add-in boards supported by three PCI bus segments called
PCI-A, PCI-B, and PCI-C. There are two on PCI-A, four on PCI-B, and two on PCI-C. PCI-C
supports half-length boards (5.6" to 6.3") only; the other slots support full-length boards.
The two slots for the PCI bus segment PCI-C consume a maximum of 375 mA of standby current
on a 3.3V AUX power line. The remaining six slots do not have any 3.3V Aux capabilities.
Both PCI segments A and B allow you to add, remove, or replace PCI add-in boards installed in
their slots without interrupting normal operation or powering down the system. To use this PCI
Hot-Plug (PHP) feature, a server system requires PCI Hot-Plug software and PCI Hot-Plug capable
add-in boards. PCI Hot-Plug software usually is a driver loaded for a specific operating system.
Each Hot-Plug PCI slot has two LEDs. The green LED indicates the state of power on each slot.
The amber LED indicates an error condition with that slot.

66 MHz. The PCI controller manages PHP functionality for the PCI segment it resides on. There
is a DesotoE2 controller on PCI segments A and B. The DesotoE2 PHP controller is:
• ACPI compliant
†
• Compatible with Compaq’s
PHP controller design
• Supports either a 3.3 V or 5 V PCI bus
The DesotoE2 is responsible for:
• Managing power application and removal to individual slots
• Properly resetting newly-added PCI boards prior to bringing the board online
• Managing connection and disconnection of the PCI signals between the P CI bus and the add-
in board
• Managing seamless addition and removal of individual PCI add-in boards without impacting
bus functionality
IDE Interface
The Open South Bridge (OSB4) acts as a PCI-based fast IDE controller. The controller supports
programmed I/O and bus master transfers. While the OSB4 supports two IDE channels, the SKA4
baseboard uses only the primary IDE channel and provides a single 40 pin IDE connector.
Baseboard Description 19
USB Interface
The SKA4 baseboard provides a dual external USB connector for the back panel of a server
system. The connector is defined by the USB Specification, Revision 1.0. Both ports function
identically with the same bandwidth. The SKA4 baseboard also provides a proprietary internal
USB header.
Network Interface Controller (NIC)
The SKA4 baseboard supports a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network subsystem based on the
®
82559 Fast Ethernet Multifunction PCI/CARDBus controller. The Intel 82559 controller is
Intel

• Auto-detect and auto-switching for 10 or 100 Mbps network speeds
• Support for both 10 and 100 Mbps networks
• Integrated physical interface to TX magnetics
• The magnetics component terminates the 100BASE-TX connector interface and a flash device
stores the network ID
Video
The SKA4 baseboard provides an ATI Rage IIc VGA Graphics Accelerator, along with video
Synchronous Graphics RAM (SGRAM) and support circuitry for an embedded Super VGA
(SVGA) video subsystem. The ATI Rage IIc chip contains an SVGA video controller, clock
generator, BitBLT engine, and a RAM digital-to-analog Converter (RAMDAC) in a 208-pin
PQFP. One 256K x 32 SGRAM chip provides 2 MB of 10-ns video memory. The baseboard does
not support adding video memory to the system. The SVGA subsystem supports a variety of
modes, up to 1600 x 1200 resolution, or up to 16.7 M colors.
The SVGA subsystem also supports analog VGA monitors, single- and multi-frequency, interlaced
and non-interlaced, up to 100 Hz vertical retrace frequency. The SKA4 baseboard provides a
standard 15-pin VGA connector and video blanking logic for server management console
redirection support.
Depending on the environment, the controller displays up to 16.7 M colors in some video
resolutions.
20 SKA4 Baseboard Product Guide
SCSI Controller
The baseboard includes two SCSI controllers. A dual function SCSI controller
(Adaptec AIC-7899) is on the PCI-B bus, and a PCI wide SCSI controller (Adaptec AIC-7880) is
on the PCI-C bus.
The Adaptec AIC-7899 SCSI controller contains two independent SCSI controllers that share a
single PCI bus master interface as a multifunction device, packaged in a 352-pin ball grid array
(BGA). Internally, each controller is identical, capable of operations using either 16-bit SE or Low
Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI providing 40 MBps (Ultra-wide SE), 80 MBps (Ultra 2), or
160 MBps (Ultra 160/m).
In the SKA4 implementation, both controller A and controller B attach to a 68-pin 16-bit
differential SCSI connector LVD interface. Each controller has its own set of PCI configuration
registers and SCSI I/O registers. As a PCI bus master, the AIC-7899 controller supports burst data
transfers on PCI up to the maximum rate of 266 MBps using on-chip buffers.
The AIC-7880 controller contains a single SCSI controller with full-featured PCI bus master
interface in a 160-pin Plastic Quad Flat Pack (PQFP). The controller supports either 8- or 16-bit
Fast SCSI providing 10 MBps or 20 MBps (Fast-10) throughput, or Fast-20 SCSI that can burst
data at 20 MBps or 40 MBps. As a PCI 2.1 bus master, the AIC-7880 controller supports burst
data transfers on PCI up to the maximum rate of 133 MBps using the on-chip 256-byte FIFO.
The SKA4 AIC-7880 implementation offers 8-bit or 16-bit SCSI connectors and operation at data
transfer rates of 10, 20, or 40 MBps. The AIC-7880 controller also offers active negation outputs,
controls for external differential transceivers, a disk activity output, and a SCSI terminator powerdown control. Active negation outputs reduce the chance of data errors by actively driving both
polarities of the SCSI bus, avoiding indeterminate voltage levels and common-mode noise on long
cable runs. The SCSI output drivers can directly drive a 48-mA single-ended SCSI bus with no
additional drivers. The SCSI segment can support up to 15 devices.
The AIC-7880 controller can be used as an 8-bit controller via the narrow, 50-pin connector and as
a 16-bit controller via the wide, 68-pin connector. As a result, the AIC-7880 controller is not
always at one end of the SCSI bus, and termination is controlled through some simple circuitry.
The circuitry senses whether there is a device attached through the narrow 50-pin connector or the
wide 68-pin connector. When there are devices off both connectors, the termination is on for the
upper 8 bits of data and the parity bit associated with these data lines. All other signals are not
terminated on board and are terminated by the devices attached through the connector. When there
is a device on only one connector (either wide or narrow), all on-board termination is on.
Baseboard Description 21
IDE Controller
IDE is a 16-bit interface for intelligent disk drives with AT† disk controller electronics onboard.
The Open South Bridge (OSB4) acts as a PCI-based fast IDE controller. The device controls:
• PIO and IDE DMA/bus master operations
• Mode 4 timings
• Transfer rates up to 33 MB/sec
• Ultra DMA 33 capacity
• Buffering for PCI/IDE burst transfers
• Master/slave IDE mode
• Up to two drives for one IDE channel
NOTE
✏
18-inch maximum length of IDE cable: An IDE signal cable can be
connected up to the IDE connector on the baseboard. However, the
maximum length of the cable is 18 inches. The cable supports up to two
devices, one at the end of the cable and the other six inches from the end.
Keyboard and Mouse
The PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse connectors are mounted in a single-stacked housing
with the mouse connector over the keyboard. External to the system, they appear as two
connectors.
The user can plug in the keyboard and mouse to either connector before powering up the system.
BIOS detects these and configures the keyboard controller accordingly.
®
The keyboard controller is functionally compatible with the Intel
system can be locked automatically if no keyboard or mouse activity occurs for a predefined length
of time, if specified through the SSU. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the
keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.
8042A microcontroller. The
22 SKA4 Baseboard Product Guide
Server Management
Server management features are implemented using one microcontroller called the Baseboard
Management Controller (BMC).
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from 5V_Standby, which remains active when
system power is switched off. The BMC is IPMI 1.0 compliant.
The primary function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system platform management events
and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). The BMC is compliant to the
Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.0. These events include
overtemperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. While monitoring,
the BMC maintains the nonvolatile Sensor Data Record Repository (SDRR), from which run-time
information can be retrieved. The BMC provides an interface to SDRR information, so software
running on the server can poll and retrieve the current status of the platform. A shared register
interface is defined for this purpose.
Field service personnel can retrieve SEL contents after system failure for analysis by using system
®
management tools like Intel
Platform control (DPC). Because 5V_Standby provides power the BMC, SEL (and SDRR)
information is also available via the interperipheral management bus (IPMB). During monitoring,
the BMC performs the following functions:
• Baseboard temperature and voltage monitoring
• Processor presence monitoring and FRB control
• Baseboard fan failure detection and indicator control
• SEL interface management
• Sensor Data Record Repository (SDRR) interface management
• SDR/SEL timestamp clock
• Baseboard Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information interface
• System management watchdog timer
• SMI/NMI Status Monitor
• Front panel NMI handling
• Event receiver
• IPMB Management Controller Initialization Agent
• Secure mode control, front panel lock/unlock initiation, and video blank and diskette write
protect monitoring and control
• ACPI Support
• Direct Platform Control (DPC) support
• Platform Event Paging (PEP) / Platform Event Filtering (PEF)
• Power distribution board monitoring
• Speaker beep capability. When the system is powered up, this capability is used to indicate
conditions such as "empty processor slot"
• Pentium III Xeon processor SEEPROM interface for Processor Information ROM (PIROM)
and Scratch EEPROM access

• Processor temperature monitoring
• Hot-Plug PCI slot status reporting

System Security
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a three-position key
lock/switch to permit selected access to drive bays (position is communicated to BMC). The
system also includes server management software that monitors the chassis intrusion switch.
Software Locks via the SSU or BIOS Setup
The SSU provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the
system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user
enters the correct password(s). For example, the SSU allows:
• Enable the keyboard lockout timer so the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard
and mouse after a specified time-out period of 1 to 120 minutes
• Set and enable administrator and user passwords
• 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
Using Passwords
If a user password is set and enabled, but an administrator password is not set, a user password
must be entered to boot the system and run the SSU.
If both a user and administrator password is set:
• Enter either one to boot the server and enable the keyboard and mouse
• Enter the administrator password to access the SSU or BIOS Setup to change the system
configuration
Secure Mode
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect,
• The system can boot and the operating system runs, but the user password must be entered for
a user to use the keyboard or mouse
• The system cannot be turned off or reset 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 (RTC).
24 SKA4 Baseboard Product Guide
Taking the system 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 power off
when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed
when secure mode is removed, the system will power off.
Summary of Software Security Features
Table 4 lists the software security features and describes what protection each offers. In general,
to enable or set the features listed here, the SSU must be run and configured with the Security
Menu (described in this manual on page 39.) The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the
Setup utility. For greater detail, see Chapter 2, beginning on page 27.

How to enter secure mode:
• Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure
mode.
• If a hot key combination is set (through the SSU or Setup), the system can be
secured simply by pressing the key combination. This means that the user
does 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).

Group.
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.
Power and reset buttons are always disabled when the server is in secure mode.
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 or the SSU and using
onboard video).
To resume activity, enter the user password.

Power-On Self Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the BIOS begins execution of the Power-On Self Test (POST).
POST discovers, configures, and tests the processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed
peripheral devices. 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 system. After a few seconds, POST begins to run and a splash
screen is displayed.
2. While the splash screen is displayed, you can either
• press <F2> to enter the BIOS Setup (see "Using BIOS Setup" on page 29)
OR
• press <Esc> to change the boot device priority for this boot only (see "Changing the Boot
Device Priority Temporarily" on page 44).
3. After pressing <F2> or <Esc> during POST, you can press <Ctrl+A> to run the SCSISelect
Utility. For more information, see "Running the SCSISelect Utility" on page 45.
4. If you do not press <F2> or <Esc> and do NOT have a device with an operating system
loaded, the boot process continues and the system beeps once. The following message is
displayed:
Operating System not found
5. At this time, pressing any key causes the system to attempt a reboot. The system searches all
removable devices in the order defined by the boot priority.
6. If you want to boot from a hard drive loaded with an operating system, make sure that the hard
drive is installed and push the Reset button on the front panel.

Using BIOS Setup
This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the system 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 the system is booted. 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 run Setup to specify the correct configuration.

If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), Setup must be run
again. Referring to the worksheets could make the task easier.
If Setup is Not Accessible
If the diskette drive is misconfigured and you cannot use Setup to correct the problem, you might
need to clear CMOS memory. You must open the system, 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 “CMOS Clear Jumper” on page 109.
Starting Setup
Setup can be entered under several conditions:
• When you turn on the system, after POST completes the memory test.
• When you reboot the system by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Del> while at the DOS operating system
prompt.
• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the baseboard to the “Clear CMOS” position
(enabled); for a step-by-step procedure, see “CMOS Clear Jumper” on page 109.
In the three conditions listed above, the following prompt is displayed:
