Power Supply
The power supply consists of the power suppl y ba y an d o ne p o wer supply module. A
second power supp ly m odule c a n b e purchased to provide a redundant, 1+1 syst em .
With either configuration, the power supply provides 350 watts of power and is
designed to minimise EMI.
The power supply operates within the following voltage ranges and is rated as
follows:
100 - 120 V~ at 50/60 Hertz (Hz); 6.3A maximum
200 - 240 V~ at 50/60 Hz; 2.5A maximum
The power subsystem suppo rts the im pl ementat ion of r emot e mana gement featur es,
including remote enable that permits power to be activated from a variet y of sources.
System Cooling
The chassis includes two 80-mm non-hot-swappable system fans for cooling the
processor(s), hard drives, and add-in cards. A third fan may be ad ded in the center
position to provide coo ling redundanc y for s ystem components. Th e s ystem fans are
mounted in a fan assembly located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling air
through the chassis. The power supply contains a single fan f or cooling.
Security
To help prevent unauthorised access to the system’s peripher als and control panel,
an optional key-locked front bezel can be used. The chassis also includes a
preinstalled intrusion s witch that can be monitored by s erver management softwar e.
When the cover is opened, a switch located on the front panel board transmits a
signal to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the server board.
Through server managem ent software, the system can be progr ammed to respond
to an intrusion by poweri ng down or by locking the ke yboard. At the chassis level a
variety of security options are provided.
Rack and Cabinet Mounting Options
The SX220 chassis was designed to support 19” wide by up to 30” deep server
cabinets. The chassis comes equipped with a relay rack or cabi net m ount kit that can
be configured to s upp ort f ront-mo unt or mi d-m ount 2-post racks and 4 -post c abi nets.
Viglen also provides an optio nal sliding rail kit that is use d to mount the chassis into
a standard (19” by up to 30” deep) EIS 310D compatible server cabinet.
For mounting in a regular server cabinet, the front mount br ackets are attached to
the front of the ch assis, and a set of rear support brackets are attached to the back
end of the cabin et. Th is evenly distributes the serv er to prevent the m ounti ng r ails o n
the cabinet from bending. Caution should be used in using the front mount-only
option. Even thoug h the rail mount kit har dware was designed t o support the weight
Viglen SX220 User Guide 10
of the system, some 2-post relay racks may not, causing th e racks to fail. Only use
relay racks that are s pecifically designed to support th e weight and stresses of a 2post front-mount only chassis.
Optional Peripherals
The SX220 server chassis provides six hard drive bays at the front of the chassis. An
optional seventh drive may be used in the flex bay. All hard drive bays may be
populated with a tray mounted 3½ ” hard dis k drive. If a conf igur ati on re quir es the us e
of a floppy disk drive and CDROM drive Floppy/CDROM module may be used in
place of the seventh har d drive in the flex ba y. A tape drive ba y is located below the
flex bay.
Hot-Swappable Hard Disk Dri ves
The SX220 server chassis can support up to seven tray-mounted SCA2, 3½” x 1”
and Ultra2/Ultra160 hard disk drives.
A major feature of the hot-swap bay is the backplane which powers down a drive
when a failure is detected and reported to the SCSI bus. When a new drive is
inserted, the power control waits a short time for the drive to become fully seated
and then applies power to t he drive. The backplane provides sig nals to the control
panel to indicate failure status for each drive in the bay.
The chassis ships with six drive carriers for m ounting the separate ly purchased har d
drives. For information on how to install these drives, refer to page 43.
Flex Bay
For those configurations that r equire a floppy drive and CD-ROM driv e, the seventh
drive bay or “Flex Bay” will be configured as a peripheral bay by inserting the
Floppy/CDROM module. Th e Floppy/CDRO M module is a 3½” flop py drive an d a ½”
(12.7mm) slim-line CDROM drive mount ed as a single unit in the peripheral bay. A
release latch allows for tool-less remova l from the front of the server, however, the
Floppy/CDROM Module is n ot hot swappable. The system must be powere d down
before the module is inserted or removed from the flex bay.
If the Flex Bay is used to house a SCA2 hard disk drive the bay will be hotswappable the same as the six other standard bays.

The server board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC-7899W controller providing
dual Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI channels.
The SCSI bus is term inated on the server b oard with active terminators t hat cannot
be disabled. The onbo ard device must alwa ys be at one end of the bus. The devi ce
at the other end of the cable must also be term inated. LVD devic es generally do not
have termination built-in and need to have a termination source provided. No n-LVD
devices generally are terminated through a jumper or resistor pack on the device
itself.

Viglen SX220 User Guide 16
Netw ork Controll er
NOTE: To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the system must be used
with a shielded LAN cable.
The server board uses two Intel® 8 2550PM Fast Ethernet Controllers an d supports
two 10Base-T/100B ase-TX network subsystems . The 82550 PM controller supp orts
the following fe atures:
• 32-bit PCI, CardBus master interface
• Integrated IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 100Base-TX compatible PHY
• IEEE 820.3u auto-negotiation support
• Chained memory structure similar to the 82559, 82558, 82557 and 82596
• Full duplex support at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mb ps operat ion
• Low power +3.3 V device
• IP checksum off-loading
The SX220 server NIC 1 can be used as both a network interface and server
management interface.
NIC Connector and Status LEDs
The 82550 controller drives LE Ds on the network interface connector th at indicates
link/activity on the LAN and 10- or 100-Mbps operation. The green LED indicates
network connection when on and TX/RX activity when blinking. The yellow LED
indicates 100-Mbps operation when lit.
Network Teaming Features
NOTE: Using both on-board NICs in a team does not allow the use of NIC 1 for
server management access. To support both network teaming features and
server management f eatures, a third NI C must be adde d and te amed to NIC
2.
The network controller prov ides several options for incr easing throughput and fault
tolerance when runnin g Wi ndows NT 4.0, W indows 20 00, NetW are 4.1x o r newer, o r
Linux:
• 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.
Viglen SX220 User Guide 17
• Adaptive Load Bala ncing (ALB) - cre ates a t eam of 2 - 8 ad apters to i ncrease
transmission throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or
100Base-TX switch.
• Fast EtherChannel (F EC) or Intel® L ink Aggre gation - creat es a team of up to
8 adapters to increase transmission an d reception throughp ut. Also includes
AFT. Requires a FEC-enabled switch.
To set up an option, read the instructions in the W indows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x
readme files.
General Configuration Notes
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support Adapter Teaming options.
2. Adapter Teaming opti ons require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4. 0 or Service Pack
3.0 and the Windows Hot Fix.
3. In Windows NT, teaming options cannot be im plemented on adapters that have
been configured for VLANs. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on
the same adapters.
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 t wo server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain
uninterrupted network performance.
AFT is implemented wit h two server ad apters: a primary adapter and a backup, or
secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the b acku p will h ave transmit disabled.
If the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically
takes over.
Preferred P rimary Adapter
With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary
adapter. For example if you have a server with a PRO/1 000 server adapter as the
primary adapter and a PRO/ 100+ adapter as the secondar y, you could configure the
PRO/1000 server adapter to be the preferred primary. In this scenario, if the
PRO/1000 server adapter fails, the PRO/100+ will take over. Then when the
PRO/1000 server ada pter is replaced, it will automatically rev ert to being t he primary
adapter in the team.
If a Preferred Primary is not selected, PROSet will attempt to select the best adapter,
based on adapter model and speed.
Viglen SX220 User Guide 18
Mixed Adapter Teaming
AFT supports up to eight server adapt ers 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 8 Gbps) using a maximum of eight
adapters. The ALB sof tware continu ously analyses t ransmit loadin g on each a dapter
and balances the r ate across th e adapters as needed. Ada pter teams conf igured for
ALB also provide the benefits of A FT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps
depending on the primary adapter’s capabilit y .
To use ALB, you must have 2-8 server adapters installed in your server or
workstation and linked to the same network switch.
Cisco Fast EtherChannel
Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco to
increase your server’s throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be conf igured to increase
both transmission and reception channels between your server and switch. FEC
works only with FEC-enabled s witches, such as the Catalyst 5000 series. With FEC,
as you add adapters to your serve r, you can group them in team s to pr ovide up to 18
Gbps at full duplex, with a maximum of 8 server adapters. The FEC software
continuously analyses loading o n each adapter and balances network traffic across
the adapters as needed. Adapter teams conf igured for FEC also provide the benef its
of AFT.
To use FEC, you mus t have 2, 4, or 8 server adapte rs installed in your server and
linked to the same FEC-enabled Cisco switch.
Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard/mouse contr oller is PS/2-compatible. If specified thr ough the System
Setup Utility (SSU), th e serv er m a y be locke d a utom atic ally if ther e is no keyboard or
mouse activity for a predefined le ngth of time. Once the inactivity (locko ut) 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 m ouse and keybo ard are
required at the same time.
RJ-45 Serial Port
The rear RJ-45 seri al port is a fully functional COM port that supports any sta ndard
serial device and provides support for serial concentrators, which typically support
RJ45 serial connectors. For server applications that use a serial concentrator to
access the server mana gement features of the baseboard, a standard 8-pin CAT-5
cable from the s erial concentrator is plugged directly into the re ar RJ45 serial port.
Viglen SX220 User Guide 19
The 8 pins of the RJ45 connector can be conf igured to match either of two pin-out
standards used by serial port concentrators. To accommodate either standard, the
J6A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ45 serial port must be
jumpered appropriately according to which standard is desired.
NOTE: By default, as configured in the fact ory, the SCB2 baseboard will have the
rear RJ45 serial port configured to support a DSR signal.
For serial concentrator s that require a DCD signal, the J6A2 jumper block must be
configured as follows: The DCD jumper in position 2 and 3 and the DSR jumper in
position 2 and 3. Pin 1 on the jumper is denoted by an arrow directly next to the
jumper block. See Figure 9 on page 129 for the jumper block pin-out of this
configuration.
Figure 6: Jumper Block Pin-out
For serial concentrato rs that require a DSR signal, the J6A2 jump er block must be
configured as follows: The DSR jum per in position 1 and 2 and the DCD jumpe r in
position 1 and 2. An arrow directly next to the jumper block denotes pin 1 on the
jumper. See Figure 7.
Figure 7: Jumper Clock Pin-out
For those server applications that require a DB9 type of serial connector, an 8-pin
RJ45-to-DB9 adapter m ust be used. The followi ng table defines the pi n-out required
for the adapter to provide RS232 support.

Viglen SX220 User Guide 20
NOTE: The RJ45-to-DB 9 ada pter s houl d mat ch the c onfig uratio n of the s erial device
used. One of two pin-out c onfigurations are use d depending on whet her the
serial device requires a DSR or DCD sig nal. The final adapter configuration
should also match the desired pin- out of the RJ45 connector, as it can also
be configured to support either DSR or DCD.
For systems configured with both a front and rear RJ45 serial connectors,
the adapters used for the rear port cannot be us ed with the front port , as the
pin-out for both RJ45 ports are diff erent. For example, modem applications
typically use DCD. In this case the user would use a DCD-configured
adapter and set the jumper block as shown in Figure 6.
ACPI
The SCB2 server motherboard supports the Advanced Configuration and Power
Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI
aware operating system can put the system into a state where t he hard drives spin
down, the system fans st op, and all processi ng is halted. However, t he power s upply
will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power
supply fans will still run.
The boards 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 wak eup event will restore the s ystem
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: Sof t off: O nly the RTC sect ion of t he CSB and the B MC ar e running in t his
state. No context is saved by the OS or hardware.
CAUTION!
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.
Security
Intrusio n Switch Monitoring
To help prevent unaut horise d entry o r use of the server, Int el® Ser ver C ontrol serve r
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 s er ver management softwar e p rocess the signal. Th e system can
Viglen SX220 User Guide 21
be configured through ISC 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 unauthorised or accidental access to the system. Once the
security measures are enabled, you can access the system only after you enter t he
correct password(s). For example:
• Enable the keyboar d lockout timer so that the server requires a pas sword 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 prev ent use of
the front panel reset and power switches.
• Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.
• Disable writing to the diskette driv e when sec ure m ode is set.
• Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.
Using Passwor ds
You can set the user password, t he supervis or password, or b oth 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 pass wor d to enter BI OS Setup or the SSU.
• Must enter the supervisor password to boot t he server if Password on Boot is
enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.
• Must enter the supervisor passwor d to exit secure m ode.
If both passwords are set, you:
Viglen SX220 User Guide 22
• May enter the user password to enter B IOS 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.
• Ma y enter either password to boot t he 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 secur e boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode
is in effect:
• You can boot the se rver a nd the operating system will run, but you m ust 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 eff ect on functions enable d via remote server manageme nt 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 r elease t he power switc h while s ecure m ode is i n ef fect, the
system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. Howeve r, 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 Se curity Subsystem Group, m enu. The table also ref ers 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).
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 9).

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the
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.
