Description

Processor

The Pentium II 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 back cover.

The processor implements the MMX the 8086, 80286, Intel386 processor's numeric coprocessor significantly increases the speed of floating point operations and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.

The processor cartridge connects to the server board through a 242 pin edge connector. The cartridge is secured by a retention module attached to the server board.

The processor external interface operates at either 100 MHz or 66MHz. The second level cache is located on the substrate of the S.E.C. cartridge. The cache includes

burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM). The L2 cache is offered in 512 KB configurations that operate at half the core clock rate, with ECC or without.

Memory

Either 72 bit (ECC) or 64 bit (non ECC) 100 MHz, 3.3 V, PC/100 compliant or 66 MHz, 3.3 V PC/66 compliant SDRAM on 168 pin gold DIMMs are supported by the server board. Memory is partitioned as three banks of SDRAM DIMMs, each providing 72 bits of noninterleaved memory (64 bit main memory plus ECC):

•

Install from 64 MB to 768 MB of memory, using registered DIMMs.

•

Install from 32 MB to 384 MB of memory, using unbuffered DIMMs. Memory should be added in order from slot 1 to slot 3.

Do not mix registered and unbuffered memory. Mixing Non ECC memory and ECC memory causes all ECC features to be disabled.

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 640 KB).

•

Extended memory begins at address 0100000h (1 MB) and extends to FFFFFFFFh (4 GB), the

limit of addressable memory. The top of physical memory is a maximum of 768 MB (to

3FFFFFFFh). Some operating systems and application programs use base memory—for example, MS-DOS,

OS/2, and UNIX. Other operating systems use both conventional and extended memory—for example, OS/2 and UNIX. MS-DOS does not use extended memory; however, some MS-DOS utility programs such as RAM disks, disk caches, print spoolers, and windowing environments use extended memory for better performance.

The controller 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.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Description

SCSI Controller

The server board includes a Symbios Logic SYM53C875 embedded single channel, PCI SCSI host adapter. The SYM53C875 contains a SCSI controller that uses a PCI bus master interface. The controller is capable of operations using either 8 or 16 bit SCSI providing 10 MB/s (Fast-10) or 20 MB/s (Fast-20) throughput, or 20 MB/s (Ultra) or 40 MB/s (Ultra-wide). As implemented on the server board, the controller attaches to a 68 pin 16 bit (wide) SCSI connector interface. As a PCI

2.1 bus master the SYM53C875 supports burst data transfers on PCI up to the maximum rate of 132 MB/sec using onchip buffers.

No logic, termination, or resistor loads are required to connect devices to the SCSI controller other than termination in the device at the end of the cable. The SCSI bus is terminated on the server board with active terminators that cannot be disabled. The onboard device must always be at one end of the bus.

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2 compatible. The system may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time, if specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU) or BIOS Setup. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered. This feature is automatically enable when the User password is set.

Server Management

Server Management features are implemented using one microcontroller called the Baseboard Management Controller.

Server Board Management Controller (BMC)

All server management functionality is concentrated in the BMC. The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from + 5V_Standby, which remains active when system power is switched off and the system is still plugged into AC power.

One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management events, and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). These include events such as overtemperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring, the BMC maintains the nonvolatile Sensor Data Record (SDR), from which sensor information can be retrieved. The BMC provides an ISA host interface to SDR sensor information, so software running on the server can poll and retrieve the server's current status.

SEL contents can be retrieved after system failure, for analysis by field service personnel using system management tools, such as EMP software or Intel LANDesk Server Manager. Since the BMC is powered by 5V_Standby, SEL (and SDR) information is also available via the IMB. 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

•

SDR Repository interface management

•

SDR/SEL timestamp clock

•

Baseboard Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information interface

•

System management watchdog timer

•

Front panel NMI handling

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes server management software that monitors the system intrusion switch.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

If available on your chassis, you can activate the chassis intrusion alarm switch. When the chassis cover is removed, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the server board, where server management software processes the signal. The system can be programmed to respond to an intrusion by powering down or by locking the keyboard, for example.

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 an administrator 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 hotkey combination to enter secure mode quickly.

•

Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

You can set either the user password, the administrator 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

Secure Mode

Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU or BIOS Setup. When secure mode is in effect:

You can boot the system 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 system 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 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 be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the system 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 or BIOS Setup and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup utility.

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). To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).

To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set an administrator password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.

If both the administrator and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot the system or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the administrator password will allow Setup and the SSU to be changed.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the Administrator Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter "Technical Reference

").

To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter "Technical Reference

").

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system boots, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard if it is present and displays a message. There is no entry in the SSU to enable or disable a keyboard.

The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU Multi-Boot Group 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 system fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the system will fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.

Warnings and Cautions

These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person should configure the server board.

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. Hazardous conditions, devices & cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be

present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

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 system when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards:

sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the system, place it 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:

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 stake pins on the board.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional cautions given here.

2. Remove the new processor from its antistatic package and place it on a grounded, static free surface or conductive foam pad.

3. Orient the processor so that the heat sink faces the center of the server board. Slide the processor into the retention module. Ensure that the alignment notch in the S.E.C. cartridge fits over the plug in Slot 1. Push down firmly, with even pressure on both sides of the top, until the S.E.C. cartridge is seated.

4. To lock in the processor, push the latches outward until they click into place in the retention module (A in figure, below). The latches must be secured for proper electrical connection of the processor.

5. Attach the small end of the power cable to the fan connector on the S.E.C. cartridge, then attach the large end (B) to the three pin connector on the server board (C).

6. After you have installed the processor, you must configure its speed.

Replacing the Backup Battery

The lithium battery on the server board powers the real time clock (RTC) for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the system settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices.

The following warning and translations are required by specific certifying agencies to be printed immediately adjacent to the procedure for removing the real time clock.

WARNING!

Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to manufacturer's instructions.

ADVARSEL

Power On Self Test (POST)

Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the server board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that 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.

1. Turn on your video monitor and system. After a few seconds POST begins to run.

2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages appear:

Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP

Keyboard.....Detected

Mouse........Detected

3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process continues, and the system beeps once. Then this message appears:

Insert bootable media in the appropriate drive

If you do not press <F2> and DO have an operating system loaded, the boot process continues, and this message appears:

Press <Ctrl><C> to enter SCSI Utility

4. Press <Ctrl+C> if there are SCSI devices installed. When the utility opens, follow the displayed instructions to configure the onboard SCSI host adapter settings and to run the SCSI utilities. Also see “Using the Symbios SCSI Utility boot process continues.

5. Press <Esc> during POST to open a boot menu when POST finishes. From this menu you can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup.

After POST completes, the system beeps once. What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating system loaded

and if so, which one. If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a fatal system

error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears.

Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your service representative. For a listing of beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.

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 you boot the system. 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 then run Setup to specify the correct configuration.

Run Setup: you may run Setup to modify any standard PC AT server board feature such as:

•

Select diskette drive

•

Select parallel port

•

Select serial port

•

Set time/date (to be stored in RTC)

•

Configure IDE hard drive

•

Specify boot device sequence

•

Enable SCSI BIOS

•

Specify processor speed

•

Security options

•

View firmware revision information and DMI information

Run SSU, not Setup: you must run the SSU instead of Setup to do the following:

•

Add or remove any ISA board that is not Plug and Play compatible

•

Enter or change information about a board

•

Alter system resources (such as interrupts, memory addresses, I/O assignments) to user selected choices instead of choices selected by the BIOS resource manager

Record Your Setup Settings

If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run Setup again. Referring to the worksheets could make your task easier.

Clearing CMOS Memory

If the diskette drive is misconfigured so that you cannot access it to run a utility from a diskette, you may need to clear CMOS memory. This can be done in two ways:

•

Open the system, change a jumper setting, power the system, let it run through the POST, power the system off, and change the jumper back. For a step by step procedure, see Chapter "Technical Reference

•

CMOS configuration RAM may also be reset to defaults using the front panel buttons:

1. Turn the system off, but leave the AC power connected.

2. Press and hold the reset button for four seconds.

3. While still holding the reset button, press the power button.

4. Release both the power button and the reset button simultaneously.

In the conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:

Press <F2> to enter SETUP

In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not <F2> prompt:

Using the System Setup Utility

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the ServerStart CD or diskette shipped with the server. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. For the NL440BX systems, the SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:

assigns resources to baseboard devices and add in cards prior to loading the operating system

•

(OS) allows you to specify boot device order and system security options

•

permits viewing and clearing of the system's critical event log

•

allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational

•

provides a system level view of the server's I/O devices

•

When to Run the System Setup Utility

The SSU is a DOS-based utility that supports extended system configuration operations for onboard resources and add in boards. You can also view the system event log and to set system boot and security options. Use the SSU when you need to

add and remove boards affecting the assignment of resources (ports, memory, IRQs, DMA)

•

modify the server's boot device order or security settings

•

change the server configuration settings

•

save the server configuration

•

view or clear the system event log

If you install or remove an ISA add in board, you must run the SSU to reconfigure the server. Running the SSU is optional for PCI and Plug and Play ISA add in boards.

The SSU is PCI aware, and it complies with the ISA Plug and Play specifications. The SSU works with any compliant configuration (.CFG) files supplied by the peripheral device manufacturer.

The I/O baseboard comes with a .CFG file. The .CFG file describes the characteristics of the board and the system resources that it requires. The configuration registers on PCI and ISA Plug and Play add in boards contain the same type of information that is in a .CFG file. Some ISA boards also come with a .CFG file.

The SSU uses the information provided by .CFG files, configuration registers, FLASH, and the information that you enter, to specify a system configuration. The SSU writes the configuration information to flash memory.

The SSU stores configuration values in FLASH memory. These values take effect when you reboot the server. POST checks the values against the actual hardware configuration; if they do not agree, POST generates an error message. You must then run the SSU to specify the correct configuration before the server boots.

The SSU always includes a checksum with the configuration data so the BIOS can detect any potential data corruption before the actual hardware configuration takes place.

What You Need to Do

The SSU may be run directly from the ServerStart CD or from a set of DOS diskettes. If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must copy the SSU from the

ServerStart CD to a set of DOS diskettes and follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file to prepare the diskettes.

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use the flash resident Setup utility to enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you exit the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.

Running the SSU

•

Running the SSU Locally

Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automatically run. If it boots from a different media, the SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the SSU starts in the local execution mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.

The SSU runs from writable, nonwritable, removable, and nonremovable media. If the SSU is run from nonwritable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) can not be saved.

The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other ROM-DOS compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a “DOS-box” running under an operating system such as Windows.

•

Running the SSU Remotely

Running the SSU remotely requires a remote server with a Server Monitor Module 2 (SMM2) card and a local system with Remote Control software available.

The SMM2 card provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support for the remote server. The Remote Control console of the local system displays and sends video memory and user input to the remote server through either a modem or an Ethernet link. Because the SSU runs exclusively on the remote server, any files required for the SSU to run must be available on the remote server (on removable or nonremovable media).

If you connect the local system to the remote server through a network or modem you can see the console, control the mouse, and control the keyboard of the remote server.

Starting the SSU

SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality the SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files.

1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.

2. There are two ways to start the SSU. a)

After creating set of SSU diskettes from the CD:

and press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette.

Directly from the ServerStart CD :

and press the reset button or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot. When prompted to do so, press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu, select the Boot Device Priority option and then select CD-ROM as your primary boot device. Save those settings and exit BIOS Setup. The server will boot from the CD-ROM and display a menu of options. Follow the instructions in the menu to start the SSU.

3. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.

4. The mouse driver loads if it is available; press <Enter> to continue.

5. This message appears:

Please wait while the Application Framework loads....

6. When the main window of the SSU appears, you can customize the user interface before continuing.

Customizing the SSU

The SSU lets you customize the user interface according to your preferences. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU. There are four user customizable settings:

•

Color—this button lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the screen with predefined color combinations. The color changes are instantaneous.

•

Mode—this button lets you set the desired expertise level.

−

novice

−

intermediate

−

expert

The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section and what actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

•

Language—this button lets you change the strings in the SSU to strings of the appropriate language. For a new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.

•

Other—this button lets you change other miscellaneous options in the SSU. The changes are instantaneous.

To change the interface default values:

Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the Preferences section of the SSU Main window.

or Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>. or Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt + underlined letter).

If you run the SSU from nonwritable media (like a CD-ROM), these preferences will be lost when you exit the SSU.

Launching a Task

It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although some tasks may require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping the task as the center of operation until you close the task window.

To launch a task:

1. In the SSU Main window, double click on the task name under Available Tasks to display the main window for the selected task..

or Highlight the task name, and click on OK. or Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>.

Defining an ISA Card

An ISA card usually comes with a vendor created .CFG file that specifies the resources the card requires to function properly. If the .CFG file is unavailable, you must manually create it or define the card through the SSU. Defining an ISA card consists of specifying the name of the card and the resources it consumes. This allows the RCA to consider the ISA card resource requirements when the RCA tries to resolve conflicts. The information is also used by the system BIOS to configure the hardware when the system is booted.

1. To add or remove ISA card resources, click on the appropriate resource buttons, select the desired value, and click on Add or Remove.

2. After you complete the necessary information, click on Save.

3. To edit a card, click on Load to retrieve the card information. After making changes, click on Save.

Emergency Management Port Console

The Emergency Management Port (EMP) Console provides an interface to the Emergency Management Port (EMP) called the Console Manager. This interface allows remote server management via a modem or direct connection.

The following server control operations available with the Console Manager are:

•

connecting to remote servers

•

powering the server on or off

•

resetting the server

•

switching the server console between EMP active and BIOS redirect modes

The Console Manager uses three management plug ins to monitor the server:

•

SEL viewer

•

SDR viewer

•

FRU viewer

The Console Manager also has a support plug in Phonebook, which you can use to create and maintain a list of servers and their phone numbers. You can launch the Connect dialog directly from the Phonebook dialog to connect to a selected server.

How the EMP Console Works

The EMP shares use of the COM 2 port with the system. When the EMP has control of the port, the port operates in command state. When the system has control of it, the port operates in redirect state. When connecting to a server, the EMP Console checks to determine the current COM 2 port state. The following discussion covers how the EMP Console functions in each state:

Command state

Configuration Software and Utilities

FRUSDR Load Utility

The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS based program used to update the server management subsystem's product level FRU, SDR, and the Desktop Management Interface (DMI) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The load utility

•

discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file

•

displays the FRU information

•

updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area

•

updates the DMI FRU area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device

•

generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC

When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility

You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server, excluding add in boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if you replace an array of fans, you need to run the utility. It programs the sensors that need to be monitored for server management.

Because the utility must be reloaded to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, and reconnect the power cords.

What You Need to Do

The FRUSDR Load Utility may be run directly from the ServerStart CD or from diskettes you create from the CD. Before you can run the FRUSDR Load Utility from a diskette, you must copy the utility from the Server ServerStart CD to a DOS-bootable diskette.

If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you are done with the FRUSDR utility.

How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility

This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS Ver. 6.22, and later versions. The utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The utility requires the following supporting files:

•

one or more .fru files describing the system's field replaceable units

•

a .cfg file describing the system configuration

•

a .sdr file describing the sensors in the system

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Configuration Software and Utilities

Command Line Format

The basic command line format is

frusdr [-?] [-h] [-d {dmi, fru, sdr}] [-cfg filename.cfg] -p -v

Command Description

frusdr Is the name of the utility.

-? or -h Displays usage information.

-d {dmi, fru, sdr} Only displays requested area.

-cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file.

-p Pause between blocks of data.

-v Verbose, display any additional details.

Parsing the Command Line

The FRUSDR Load Utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function may consist of two parameters; for example, -cfg filename.cfg. Any invalid parameters result in displaying an error message and exiting the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The -p and -v flags may be used in conjunction with any of the other options.

Displaying Usage Information

When the utility is run with the -? or -h command line flags, the following message is displayed when the verbose flag -v is added to the help command:

FRU & SDR Load Utility Version 2.0 Revision R.2.1

Usage: frusdr Is the name of the utility.

-? Or -h Displays usage information

-d {dmi,fru,sdr} Only displays requested area.

-cfg filename.cfg Uses custom CFG file.

-p Pause between blocks of data.

-v Verbose, display any additional details.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Configuration Software and Utilities

This utility must be run from a system executing DOS. Running in a Window's DOS box is insufficient and will provide incorrect results. Programming the BMC FRU area clears the SDR table, therefore the SDR table must be reprogrammed. Upon completing the programming of the FRU and SDR areas, the server should be rebooted.

Note: DOS users may alternatively use a '/' instead of the '-'.

The following information is display if -v option is included in the command line.

The /D FRU command may be followed with up to 16 device addresses. These device addresses are used to view up to 16 different FRU areas, instead of the default of displaying the BMC FRU. The arguments following the "-d FRU" are in the same order and value as the NVS_TYPE, NVS_LUN, DEV_BUS and DEV_ADDRESS which are found in the FRU file header in each FRU file. The LUN address is optional. If the LUN address is used, it must start with an 'L'.

Usage: FRUSDR -d fru (device) [lun] (bus) (addr) (addr2) (etc) Example: FRUSDR /D FRU IMBDEVICE L00 00 C0 C2

The configuration file may be used to load multiple FRU and SDR files. In the configuration file, you may define which FRU and SDR areas are to be programmed. Additionally, you may request information from the user or ask the user to choose which areas to program.

Using Specified CFG File

The utility can be run with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename can be any DOS accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the specified CFG file uses the entries in the configuration file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load into nonvolatile storage.

Displaying Utility Title and Version

The utility displays its title

FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version 2.0, Revision X.XX

Where X.XX is the revision number for the utility.

Configuration File

The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to perform various tasks needed to ultimately load the proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.

Prompting for Product Level FRU Information

Through the use of a Configuration File, the utility may prompt you for FRU information.

Filtering Sensor Data Record From the SDR File

The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. These records may need to be filtered based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of the SDRs.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Configuration Software and Utilities

Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area

After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. If the SDR file is loaded via a .cfg File, the utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the Configuration File. Nontagged SDRs are automatically programmed. The utility also copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file. It contains an image of what was loaded, and the TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.

Updating FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area

After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU nonvolatile storage area. First it verifies the Common Header area and checksum from the specified FRU file. The Internal Use Area is read out of the specified .FRU file and is programmed into the nonvolatile storage. The Chassis Area is read out of the specified .FRU file. Last it reads the Product Area out of the specified FRU file, then the area is programmed into the FRU nonvolatile storage. All the areas are also written to the FRU.TMP file, which happens before the areas get programmed.

Updating DMI FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area

After programming the BMC FRU area, the utility then programs the following Chassis, Board, and Product FRU information to the DMI fields.

Example:

Loading DMI System Area

Manufacturer Name : Intel Name : NA440BX Server System Version Number : SMADN000BN00 Serial Number : 0123456789 Loading DMI Board Area Manufacturing Name : Intel Name : BMAD440LX Serial Number : 0123456789 Version Number : 681234-501 Loading DMI Chassis Area Chassis Part Number : 000000-000 Chassis Serial Number : Asset Tag :

If a failure occurs, the utility displays an error message and exits.

Cleaning Up and Exiting

If an update was successfully performed, the utility displays a single message and then exits. If the utility fails, it immediately exits with an error message and exit code.

Checklist



If you are running the software from a diskette, try a new copy of the software.



If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, try a different disk to see if the problem occurs on all discs.



If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, try running it from a diskette. If the software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on the hard disk drive. Reinstall the software on the hard disk, and try running it again. Make sure all necessary files are installed.



If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (if keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random component failures.



If you suspect that a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout might have occurred, reload the software and try running it again. (Symptoms of voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and the system not responding to user commands.)

Random errors in data files: if you are getting random errors in your data files, they may be getting corrupted by voltage spikes on your power line. If you are experiencing

Cannot Connect to a Server



Make sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system ServerStart CD for the onboard network controller.



Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.



Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system back panel and that the network controller Link LED is on (visible at back panel). If the cable is attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.



Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.



Check with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that needs to be installed.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Solving Problems



If you are directly connecting two servers (no hub), some hubs may also require a crossover cable (see your hub documentation for more information on crossover cables).



Check the network controller LEDs that are visible through an opening at the system back panel.

Problems with Network

The server hangs when the drivers are loaded.



Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.

Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails.



Make sure the network cable is securely attached.



Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.

The Link LED doesn't light.



Make sure you have loaded the network drivers.



Check all cable connections.



Try another port on the hub.



Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the hub. Some hubs require a crossover cable while others require a straight through cable (for more information on crossover cabling, see your hub documentation).

The Activity LED doesn't light.



Make sure you've loaded the correct network drivers.



Network may be idle. Try accessing a server.

The controller stopped working when an add in adapter was installed.



Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.



Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.



Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2 does not.



Try reseating the add in adapter.

The add in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.



Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.



The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers.



Run the diagnostics.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Solving Problems

PCI Installation Tips

Some common PCI tips are listed here.



Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for ISA adapters. This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings ISA cards are using. Use the SSU to keep track of ISA adapter resources.



Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The SSU can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared.

Problems with Application Software

If you have problems with application software, do the following:



Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. See the software installation and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.



Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.



Make sure all cables are installed correctly.



Verify that the server board jumpers are set correctly. See Chapter "Technical Reference



If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software.

If the problem persists, contact the software vendor's customer service representative for assistance.

Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected

Check the following:



Is the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device?

Error and Informational Messages

When you turn on the system, POST displays messages that provide information about the system. If a failure occurs, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware. If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Solving Problems

POST Codes and Countdown Codes

The BIOS indicates the current testing phase during POST after the video adapter has been successfully initialized by outputting a 2 digit hex code to I/O location 80h. If a port-80h ISA POST card is installed, it displays the 2 digit code on a pair of hex display LEDs.

not boot. Move the WOL Enable jumper to the Disabled position if your power supply does not provide the required current.

General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting

The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the same for most of the jumper functions, so we will describe it here.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.

2. Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect the AC power cord.

3. Remove the side cover. You do not need to remove the server board from the chassis, and you probably do not need to remove any add in boards.

4. Locate the configuration jumpers at the edge of the server board toward the front of the system.

5. Move jumper to pins specified for the desired setting.

6. Reinstall the side cover, connect the power cord, and turn on the system for the change to take effect.

7. You may need to repeat these steps to move the jumper back to its original setting, depending on the jumper function.

A26361-D1097-Z120-1-7619

Technical Reference

CMOS Jumper

The jumper at pins 1, 2, and 3 controls whether settings stored in CMOS nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) are retained during a system reset.

Procedure to restore the system's CMOS and RTC to default values:

1. See "General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting

2. Move the CMOS jumper from pins 1 and 2 to pins 2 and 3 (the Clear CMOS memory position).

3. Reinstall the side cover for your safety, and connect the power cord to the system.

4. Turn the system on. Wait for POST to complete and for the messages “NVRAM cleared by jumper” and “Press F2 to enter Setup” to appear. This automatically reprograms CMOS and RTC to their default settings.

5. Enter Setup and make any changes necessary (for example, changing the boot device). Press F10 to save the new Setup configuration and exit Setup.

6. Turn off the system, and disconnect the power cord from the system.

7. Again remove the side cover.

8. Move the jumper from pins 2 and 3 back to pins 1 and 2 (the Protect CMOS memory position).

9. Reinstall the side cover, and connect the power cord to the system.

10. Run BIOS Setup or the SSU to verify the correct settings. See Chapter "Configuration

Software and Utilities".

Password Jumper

The jumper at pins 5, 6, and 7 controls whether the user and administrator passwords are retained or cleared during a system reset.

Procedure to clear the current password and then enter a new one:

1. See "General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting

2. Move the Password jumper from pins 5 and 6 to pins 6 and 7.

3. Reinstall the side cover for your safety, and connect the power cord to the system.

4. Turn the system on, and wait for POST to complete. This automatically clears the password.

5. Turn off the system, and disconnect the power cord.

6. Again remove the side cover.

7. Move the jumper from pins 6 and 7 back to pins 5 and 6.

8. Reinstall the side cover, and connect the power cord to the system.

9. Run the SSU to specify a new password. See Chapter "Configuration Software and Utilities
