1 Setting up the System
Safety Information
Server Position
Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer:
!
CAUTION
The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms with humidity over 70%, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not expose the server to any temperatures over +30°C or under +10°C.
!
CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, operate the system only with the chassis covers installed.
!
CAUTION
Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.
!
CAUTION
Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip hazards.
!
CAUTION
When you save data to your server‘s hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or electromagnetic fields.
!
CAUTION
Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.
!
CAUTION
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.
!
CAUTION
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in chapter 3 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.
!
ATTENTION
In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall outlet.
!
ATTENTION
To ensure stability, the floor stands must be turned outwards (pedestal version only).

Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements outlined below.
Memory
The Server Board provides four DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 2A. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets 1B and 2B.
A minimum of one 256 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A. This uses single-channel interleave. However, for dual-channel interleave, providing optimum performance, a minimum of two DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets 1A and 1B. Except for the option of installing a single DIMM in socket 1A or 1B, DIMMs must be installed in pairs and populated as follows:
DIMM1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first.
DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 1B if four
DIMMs are to be used.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
DDR2 400/533/667, un-buffered, DDR2 DIMM modules
DIMM organization: x72 ECC or x64 Non-ECC
Pin count: 240
DIMM capacity: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs
Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0
Interface: SSTL2
In order to operate in Dual Channel Dynamic Paging Mode, the following conditions must be met:
Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B
Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location)
Installing only 3 DIMMs is not supported. Do not use DIMMs that are not “matched” (same type and speed). Use of identical memory parts is always the preferred method.

4 Server 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.
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
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.
