1 Setting up the System

Server Position

Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer:

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.

Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.

Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip

hazards.

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.

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.

Please take care to ensure a free air flow to the server at all times. Do not block the ventilation

slots of the server case and particularly the power supplies. An insufficient air flow may damage the server and / or it’s components.

ATTENTION

In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall outlet.

14 Server Board Features

Hardware Requirements

Processor

One or two Intel® Xeon™ Processors with an 800 MHz front side bus must be installed. Processor frequencies form 2.8 GHz to 3.6 GHz are supported.

Memory

The server board provides six DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets 1A, 2A, and 3A. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets 1B, 2B, and 3B.

If six DIMMs are installed, the following maximum capacitites are possible:

• For DDR266 DIMMS: Maximum capacity of 24 GB

• For DDR333 DIMMS: Maximum capacity of 16 GB

A minimum of one 256 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A or 1B. 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:

• DIMM 1A and DIMM 1B: Populate these two sockets together first

• DIMM 2A and DIMM 2B: Populate these sockets in addition to DIMM 1A and DIMM 2A if four DIMMs are to be used.

• DIMM 3A and DIMM 3B: Populate these sockets after DIMM 1A, DIMM 1B, DIMM 2A, and DIMM 2B have been populated.

DIMMs must meet the following requirements:

• Use only registered DDR DIMM modules

• DDR266 and DDR333 memory can be mixed on the server board, but when mixing DIMM types, DDR333 memory will be treated as DDR266.

• Use only DIMMs with DIMM organization of x72 ECC

• Use only DIMMs with the capacities outlined in the following table can be used

Table 6. DIMM Module Memory Capacity Support

SDRAM Parts, SDRAM Technology

X8, single row 128 MB 256 MB 512 MB 1 GB

X8, double row 256 MB 512 MB 1 GB 2 GB

X4, single row 256 MB 512 MB 1 GB 2 GB

X4, stacked, double row 512 MB

128 MB 256 MB 512 MB 1 GB

1 GB 2 GB 4 GB

 NOTE

When using Dual Rank (Double Row) DDR-333 DIMM technologies, a maximum of four loads per memory channel is supported. When all DIMMs used in the system match either of these technologies, a maximum of four DIMMs can be populated.

In determining your memory requirements, the need for memory sparing or memory mirroring must be considered.

15MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 1500 IR M5

Memory Sparing and Mirroring

The Intel® E7520 chipset includes hardware that supports memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing. Both memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing provide a way to prevent data loss in case a DIMM fails.

With memory mirroring the system maintains two copies of all data in the memory subsystem. If a DIMM fails, the data is not lost because the second copy of the data is available from the mirrored DIMM in the opposite channel. The system will not fail due to memory error unless both the primary and the mirrored copy of the data become corrupt at the same time.

In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory, with four identical DIMMs installed in sockets 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B. Since the data is duplicated across DIMMs, it means that up to one-half of the installed DIMMs are actively in use at any one time. The remaining DIMMs are used for mirroring:

– If the DIMM in socket 1A fails, the DIMM in socket 2B takes over.

– If the DIMM in socket 1B fails, the DIMM in socket 2A takes over.

For memory on-line sparing, one DIMM per channel is used as the memory spare. The spare DIMM is not available for use, but is kept in reserve. If a DIMM begins to fail, the content of the failing DIMM is copied to the spare DIMM in that channel. When all of the data is copied to the spare DIMM, the primary DIMM is removed from service and the spare DIMM takes its place.

When memory on-line sparing is used, the spare DIMMs must be equal to or larger than the largest in-service DIMM in that channel.

 NOTE

Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at a time.

16 Server Board Features

Using the BIOS Setup Utility

This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server configuration defaults.

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.
