NSW1U Network Server—Kontron IP Network Server NSW1U Features
2.5 Ethernet Front Panel (EFP) Board
The Ethernet Front Panel (EFP) board is located in front of the power supplies and extends behind the
fixed SATA hard drives. The SATA drives connect into the EFP board for power and signals. The EFP
board also provides the user interface for the system's front panel and for the SIO (system
management) serial port.
There are three different EFP board configurations that support various functions through use of
component population/depopulation options. The three variations of the EFP are as follows:
• Front panel operations with the two dual-Ethernet controllers depopulated (NSW1U-R
configuration).
• Front panel operation with the two dual-Ethernet controllers populated and accessible via the
front panel bezel (NSW1U-F configuration).
• Front panel operations with the two dual-Ethernet controllers populated, in addition to the added
capability to bypass the on-board Ethernet controllers during a system power failure (NSW1U-B
configuration).
2.5.1 Front Panel Features
The NSW1U Network Server has the following front panel features:
• Four switches to control power-on, reset, NMI, and the system ID LED
• One system ID LED that can be controlled remotely or by the system ID switch
• Two system activity LEDs that indicate power-on and NIC activity
• One hard drive activity LED that indicates fault status for drives 0 and 1
• One system status LED that indicates a system error
• Two fixed SATA hard drives
• Connectors for interfacing to the server board and fans
2.6 Additional Optional Ethernet Functionality
The NSW1U-F and NSW1U-B servers provide four GbE ports that are accessible from the front of the
system when the bezel is installed with a unique EFP board SKU. Four additional GbE NIC ports can be
added to the NSW1U-F and NSW1U-B servers by using a quad GbE NIC PCIe card and cable harness.
The cable harness interconnects the quad GbE NIC card to the additional four GbE NIC ports on the
front face of the chassis. There are no GbE NIC ports accessible from the rear of the NSW1U-F
system.
The NSW1U-R and NSW1U-B servers have four GbE NIC ports mounted on the server board that are
accessible from the rear of the chassis. An additional set of four rear-accessible GbE NIC ports can be
added to the NSW1U-R system by using a quad GbE NIC PCIe card with rear I/O panel access ports.
There are no GbE NIC ports accessible from the front of the NSW1U-R system.
The GbE NIC ports are intended to be installed with shielded cabling that is grounded at both ends of
the cable.
Warning: The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to
intra-building or unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the
equipment or subassembly MUST NOT be metallically connected to interfaces that
connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intra-building
interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and
require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is
not sufficient protection in order to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

2.8 Hard Disk Drives
The server ships with two fixed drive trays for mounting SATA hard disk drives in the chassis. For
information on how to install these drives, see Section 4.2, “Installing or Replacing a Hard Drive” on
page 47.
Drives can consume up to 17 W of power each. Drives must be specified to run at a maximum
ambient temperature of 45° C.
Note: The NSW1U Network Server does not support all SATA hard drives. For a list of
validated hard drive manufacturers and hard drive types, see the Tested Hardware and
Operating Systems List (THOL) on the Kontron support website at
http://us.kontron.com/support/. (Search for NSW1U, click on Product Downloads, and
then Compatability Matrix.)
2.9 Riser Card Assembly
The S5000PHB server board implements a PCI super slot that contains the signals necessary for a
PCI/PCI-X* or PCI Express* (PCIe*) expansion slot. One of two different low-profile riser cards is
inserted into the super slot to access the appropriate signals and provide the appropriate connector
for a PCI/PCI-X or PCI Express riser card. The IP Network Server NSW1U is designed to accommodate
a full-length, full-height adapter card with the card’s I/O bracket accessible through an opening in the
rear panel of the system. (See Figure 10 for this location.)
The PCI/PCI-X riser card supports speeds of 33 or 66 MHz PCI and 100 or 133 MHz PCI-X.
The PCI Express riser card implements a x8 link interface, and can be used with add-in cards that
implement x1, x4, or x8 interfaces.
The IP Network Server NSW1U supports either a PCI-X and a PCI-Express riser card.
2.9.1 PCI/PCI-X Riser Card
The PCI/PCI-X riser card supports one 3.3 V 64-bit slot and speeds of 33 or 66 MHz for PCI and 66,
100, or 133 MHz for PCI-X. The bus speed varies from 66 MHz to 100 MHz depending on the type of
PCI adapters configured in the PCI-X riser card. For detailed information about the pinouts and
electrical specifications, see the Kontron IP Network Server NSW1U Technical Product Specification.
2.9.2 PCI-Express Riser Card
PCI Express (PCIe) riser card implements a x8 link interface and can be used with add-in cards with
an x1, x4, or x8 interface. For detailed information about the pinouts and electrical specifications, see
the Kontron IP Network Server NSW1U Technical Product Specification.
2.10 Power Supply
The power subsystem can have up to two power supply modules capable of operating in redundant
mode and a power distribution board (PDB). A power supply filler panel for the empty power supply
site is supplied for systems without redundancy.
The power supply is rated for 450 W output capability in full AC or DC input voltage range.
2.11 System Cooling
There are three cooling areas in the NSW1U systems: front panel board area, PCI area, and the CPU/
Memory/HDD area.

2.11.1 Front Panel Cooling Area
The left one-fourth of the EFP front panel board and the portion of the PDB in this area are cooled by
40 × 40 × 56 mm dual-rotor fans internal to the PSUs. One PSU is sufficient to cool this portion of the
front panel board area and two PSUs provide cooling redundancy for this area.
PSU fans draw air in through the bezel from the front of the system and from vents in the left front
side of the chassis over this portion of the front panel board and PDB, through and exhausting out the
rear of the PSUs. The left wall of the PCI fan air duct and the PSU guide wall provide an air flow
barrier between the front panel board cooling area and the PCI cooling area
December 2009 Product Guide, rev. 1.4
Kontron IP Network Server NSW1U
23
NSW1U Network Server—Kontron IP Network Server NSW1U Features
2.11.2 PCI Cooling Area
The 40 × 40 × 28 mm single-rotor PCI fan cools the portions of the BB, PDB, and EFP that are in this
area as well as any PCI adapter card installed in the riser card assembly.
The PCI fan draws in air through the front bezel exhausts it out the rear of the system. A plastic air
duct directs the air flow in this area, houses the PCI fan, and provides air flow barriers between:
• The front panel board and the PCI cooling areas
• The PCI and the CPU-Memory-HDD cooling areas.
A second plastic part located behind the PCI air duct continues the air flow barrier between the PCI
cooling area and the CPU/memory/HDD cooling area. The riser card provides the third and final
portion of the air flow barrier between the PCI cooling area and the CPU/memory/HDD cooling area.
2.11.3 CPU/Memory/HDD Cooling Area
The NSW1U system uses three 40 × 40 × 28 mm single-rotor fans that are assembled to a sheet
metal bracket.
The NSW1U system draws air in through the front bezel and exhausts out the rear of the chassis. The
CPU/memory/HDD cooling area air flow path is isolated from the rest of the system by the PCI air
ducts and riser card. The hard drives pre-heat the air entering the CPU/memory air duct.
2.12 Hardware Requirements

NSW1U Network Server—Server Installations and Upgrades
3. Move the jumper from the default operating position (Pins 1-2) to the Reset/Clear position (Pins
2-3) on the appropriate jumper (J1F1 for CMOS Clear or J1H2 for Password Reset).
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move the jumper back to the default position (Pins 1-2).
6. Close the server.
7. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
8. The password and/or CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into BIOS setup.
3.3.1.3 BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into
update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. If the BMC firmware update
process fails because the BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC
Force Update jumper that forces the BMC into the update state. The following procedure should be
followed if the standard BMC firmware update process fails.
1. Power down the server and remove the power cable. (Standby power is present on the server
board when power is turned off but still connected.)
2. Open the server.
3. Place a jumper on the J1E3 header.
4. Close the server.
5. Reconnect the power source and power up the server.
6. Perform standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in README.TXT file that is
included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.
7. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may
generate an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode.
8. Power down the server and remove the power cable.
9. Open the server.
10. Remove jumper from J1E3.
11. Close the server.
12. Reconnect power source and power up the server.
Note: Normal BMC functionality is disabled when the Force BMC Update jumper is populated.
The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper populated and
should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This header
should remain unpopulated by default when the server is running normally.
3.3.1.4 BIOS Select Jumper
The jumper block at J1G1 selects which BIOS image the system will boot. Pin 1 on the jumper is
identified with a “ ”. This jumper should only be moved if you wish to force the BIOS to boot to the
secondary bank that may hold a different version of the BIOS.
The rolling BIOS feature of the server board will automatically alternate the Boot BIOS to the
secondary bank in the event the BIOS image in the primary bank is corrupted and cannot boot for any
reason.
3.3.1.5 Serial B Port Configuration Jumper
The rear of the IP Network Server NSW1U provides an RJ45 connector for the Serial B port, which is
intended for direct connection to serial devices such as serial port concentrators using a standard Cat
5 cable. But various serial devices which use RJ45 connectors differ in the signal they require on Pin
