BSMI (Taiwan)
The BSMI Certification number and the following warning is located on the product safety label
which is located visibly on the external chassis.
Removing the Server from the Box
Carefully unpack the server. Be sure to use two people to lift the server. Do not attempt to lift or
move the server by the handles on the power supplies. If you need to move the server from one
location to another, use a hand-truck or other mechanical assist unit.
WARNINGS
AVOID INJURY: To avoid personal injury when unpacking the server,
use only a mechanical assist unit to lift it off the shipping pallet. The
maximum server configuration weighs 65 lbs (30 kg).
Selecting a Site
The server operates reliably within normal office environmental limits. Select a site that meets
these criteria:
• Near a properly earthed, grounded three-pronged power outlet
⎯ In the United States and Canada: a NEMA-compliant, 110-208 V∼ outlet rated for 15 amps
⎯ In other geographic areas: a properly grounded, earthed outlet in accordance with the local
electrical authorities and electrical code of the region
• Clean and relatively free of excess dust
• Well ventilated and away from sources of heat, with the ventilating openings on the server kept
free of obstructions
• Away from sources of vibration or physical shock
• Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and noise caused by electrical devices such as
elevators, copy machines, air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV
transmitters, and high-frequency security devices
CAUTION, ESD Precautions
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, add-in boards, and other
parts. This server can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD.
However, we recommend doing all procedures in this guide only at an
ESD-protected workstation. If one is not available, you can provide some ESD

protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the
server when handling components (e.g., any unpainted metal surface).
CAUTION
Grounded outlet: Make sure that the power service connection is through a
properly grounded outlet.
Temperature: The range of temperatures in which the server operates when
installed in an equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above
35 °C (95 °F). Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of
problems in your server.
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front
of the server to maintain proper cooling. The rack must also include
ventilation sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 650 Watts (or 2300 BTUs)
for each server. The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be
suitable to the environment in which the server will be used.
Checking Power Cords
WARNING
The Power button on the front control panel of the server does not
completely remove AC power. To completely remove AC power from
the server, you must unplug both AC power cords from the system or
from the wall outlet. Unplugging the cords removes the +12 Volt
standby power that is present when the server is powered down.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord that is not the exact
type required. You must use a power cord that meets the following
criteria:
1. Rating: For U.S./Canada cords must be UL Listed/CSA Certified,
16/3, 75C type, VW-1, SJT/SVT, with NEMA 5-15P or
NEMA 6-15P attachment plug and IEC 320 C13 input power
connector rated 15 amps. For outside U.S./Canada cords must be
flexible harmonized (<HAR>) rated 250V, 1.0 mm minimum
conductor size with IEC 320 C13 input power connector and rated
for no less than 10 amps.
2. AC Attachment Connector, wall outlet end for outside U.S./Canada:
The AC wall attachment plug should be a three conductor grounding
type, rated at 125 V, 15 amps and must be for the configuration of
the specific region or country. The AC wall attachment plug must
bear at least an accepted safety agency certification mark for the
specific region or country.

3. Input Power Connector, server end: The connectors that plug into
the AC receptacles on the server must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, type
female connector and are rated for 125 V/250 V, 15 A.
NOTES
Surge Suppressor Recommendations: In geographic regions that are
susceptible to electrical storms, we highly recommend that you plug the
server into a surge suppressor.
EMI Information: For information about complying with electromagnetic
interference regulations, see “Electromagnetic Compatibility” in the

Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse
CAUTION
Unplug server before connecting external devices, make sure the server is not
plugged in or equipment could be damaged.
Before powering on the server, you must connect these devices to the front or back of the Server
System SR870BH2.
1. Video monitor to the video port (I in Figure 4)
2. Keyboard to a USB port (J in Figure 4)
3. Mouse to a USB port (K in Figure 4)
Powering On the Server for the First Time
The first time you power on the server you need to enter the BIOS Setup Utility and set the correct
date and time values. After setting these values, the server executes its Power-On Self Test (POST)
sequence and passes control to the Boot Manager. From the Boot Manager, you can mount the
DVD/CD-RW device to block zero and then load the operating system.
For information on the Boot Manager and the EFI Shell, refer to the Intel® Server System
SR870BNH2 Product Guide.
Follow these steps to power up the Server System SR870BH2 for the first time:
1. Make sure all external devices, such as a monitor, keyboard, and mouse, have been connected.
2. Plug the female ends of both AC power cords into the back of the chassis (B 1 and 2 in Figure
5)
3. Plug the male ends of the server AC power cords into wall outlets (grounded, three-pronged
AC power outlets).
4. Power on the video monitor.
5. Press the Power button on the front control panel (A in Figure 4). Pressing this button causes
the server fans to start up and POST to begin.
6. When POST displays the message: “Hit <F2> if you want to run SETUP,” enter <F2> and the
system will enter the BIOS Setup Utility. (If you see a prompt asking for a system password,
pressing the <ENTER> key will get you directly to the BIOS Setup Utility.)
NOTE
For information on how to use the BIOS Setup Utility, see the Intel® Server
System SR870BH2 Product Guide.
7. From the Main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, use the arrow keys to move the cursor down to
the system date and time selections. Position the cursor over the date and time values and enter
appropriate values. Use the <tab> key to move within the date and time fields.
8. Use the arrow key to access the Exit menu and select the item to save changes and exit the
BIOS Setup Utility. After you exit the utility, the boot procedure resumes. You can monitor
the remainder of the boot progress on the video display.
14 Intel® Server System SR870BH2
Quick Start Guide
Page 15
NOTE
POST checks the processors, memory, keyboard and most installed
peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of
memory it is able to access and test. The length of time needed to test
memory depends on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in
flash memory.
9. The AMI* BIOS banner displays the loaded versions of the BIOS, PAL, SAL, and EFI.
10. The LSI* banner appears and indicates the recognized drives. Note that a Platform
Configuration EFI based configuration utility is required to enter the LSI SCSI utility. The
LSI* SCSI utility enables you to manage and configure the server’s SCSI devices. For
information on the Platform Configuration Tool EFI utility and the screens available in this
utility, see the Intel® Server System SR870BH2 Product Guide.
11. POST concludes and passes control to the Boot Manager.
12. From the Boot Manager, you can use arrow keys to highlight the option that invokes the EFI
Shell, or you can highlight and select the Boot Maintenance Menu. Booting to the EFI Shell
causes the following prompt to appear:
Shell>
13. Mount the DVD/CD-RW device as block zero. For information on how to mount this device,
see “Mounting the DVD/CD-RW Device” below.
14. Boot the operating system that you want to run on the server.
Mounting the DVD/CD-RW Device
Before you can use the DVD/CD-RW device to read media, you must mount the device. Follow
these steps to mount the DVD/CD-RW device:
1. Be sure that you are in the EFI Shell. You should see the following prompt:
Shell>
2. Insert media into the DVD/CD-RW drive. The media does not need to contain files. In order
for the mount command in the next step to work, the drive must be loaded with media.
3. At the shell prompt, enter the following command:
mount -r
The media in the DVD/CD-RW should get remapped to one of the file systems, i.e., FS0:, FS1:,
FS2. Change to the appropriate file system and enter the following command:
ls
