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.

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.

SAS/SATA Backplanes
The hot-swap drive system can support either an active SAS backplane (Product Code ASR1500SASBP) or a passive SAS/SATA backplane (Product Code - ASR1500PASBP).
The backplanes provide the platform support for peripheral drives and hot-swap SAS or
SATA hard drives. To eliminate several cables, the backplanes are also used as a pathway
for signals from the server board to various platform interconnects, including those for the
control panel and peripheral drives.
The passive backplane acts as a 'pass-through' for the SAS/SATA data from the drives to
the SAT A controller on the server board or a SAS/SAT A controller add-in card. It provides
the physical requirements for the hot-swap capabilities. The active backplane has a builtin SAS controller that does not need communication with the baseboard controller or an
add-in card.

Your Intel® Server System SR1560SF can be mounted into a rack. Intel provides three
options to mount this server into a rack. When installing the chassis into a rack, Intel
recommends you install systems from the bottom of the rack to the top. In other words,
install the first system in the rack into the bottom position of the rack, the second system
in the second position from the bottom, and so on. Instructions for installing your chassis
into a rack are included in each rackmount option kit.

4Server 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 “Server System References” for a link to the Intel
S5400SF T echnical 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
®
Server Board
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.
“Setup Menu Key Use” describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup
menus.
Table 4. Setup Menu Key Use
Key to PressDescription
<F1>Pressing <F1> on any menu invokes the general help window.
Left and right arrowsThe left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu
pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Up arrowSelect Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a
menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key
activates the selected item.
Down arrowSelect Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a
menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key
activates the selected item.
<F5> or <->Change Value - The minus key or the <F5> function key is used to
change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key
scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying
the full list.
<F6> or <+>Change Value - The plus key or the <F6> function key is used to change
the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls
through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full
list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan
code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect.
<Enter>Execute Command - The <Enter> key is used to activate submenus
when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a
selected feature has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued
features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the <Enter> key will
undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
<Esc>Exit - The <Esc> key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field.
<F9>Setup Defaults - Pressing <F9> causes the following to appear:
This key will undo the pressing of the <Enter> key. When the <Esc> key
is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the
parent menu is re-entered. When the <Esc> key is pressed in any
submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the <Esc> key is
pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed
and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
Setup Confirmation
Load default configuration now?
[Yes] [No]
If "Yes" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, all Setup fields are
set to their default values. If "No" is selected and the <Enter> key is
pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, the user is returned to where
they were before <F9> was pressed without affecting any existing field
values.
60Intel® Server System SR1560SF Service Guide
Key to PressDescription
<F10>Save and Exit - Pressing <F10> causes the following message to
appear:
If "Yes" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, all changes are
saved and Setup is exited. If "No" is selected and the <Enter> key is
pressed, or the <Esc> key is pressed, the user is returned to where they
were before <F10> was pressed without affecting any existing values.
Upgrading the BIOS
The upgrade utility allows you to upgrade the BIOS in flash memory. The code and data in
the upgrade file include the following:
•On-board system BIOS, including the recovery code, BIOS Setup Utility, and
strings.
•On-board video BIOS, and other option ROMs for devices embedded on the server
board.

current BIOS settings and how to obtain the upgrade utility.
Recording the Current BIOS Settings
1.Boot the computer and press <F2> when you see the message:
Press <F2> Key if you want to run SETUP
2.Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program.
Note: Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your server at the end of the
procedure.
Intel® Server System SR1560SF Service Guide61
Obtaining the Upgrade
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See “Server
System References” for a link to the update software.
Note: Review the instructions and release notes that are provided in the readme file distributed
with the BIOS image file before attempting a BIOS upgrade. The release notes contain
critical information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other information to
complete the upgrade.
Upgrading the BIOS
Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade. When the
update completes, remove the bootable media from which you performed the upgrade.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update pr ocess! Doing so may corrupt the
system BIOS.
Note: You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this
happens, shut down the system and boot it again. CMOS checksum err ors r equir e that you
enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.
Clearing the CMOS

In the space below, provide a complete description of the steps used to reproduce the
problem or a complete description of where the problem can be found. Please also include
any details on troubleshooting already done.
During the system boot process, BIOS executes a number of platform configuration
processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each
configuration routine is started, BIOS will display the given POST code to the POST
Code Diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server board. To assist in
troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the Diagnostic LEDs can be used
to identify the last POST process to be executed.
Each POST code will be represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The
LEDs are capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are
divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble
is represented by a red LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green
LED. If both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then both red and green LEDs are
lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear, then the LED is off.
In the below example, BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The
LEDs are decoded as follows:
•red bits = 1010b = Ah
•green bits = 1100b = Ch
Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the
lower nibble, the two are concatenated to be ACh.
