Processors
The PLATINUM 7200 IR Server supports from one to four 64-bit Intel® Xeon™ processors MP (7x00
sequence).
System Memory
The memory boards connect to the main board through x16 PCI Express connectors. One to four
memory boards can be installed, two on each side of the system. Memory board baffles are not needed
for empty memory board slots, but DIMM blanks are required for each socket on each memory board
in which a DIMM is not installed.
Figure 5. Memory Boards
Each memory board has these features:
• Supports up to eight FBD Generation-1 DIMMs
• Supports FBD speeds of 533MT/s (4-4-4, 5-5-5 latencies) and 667MT/s (5-5-5 latency)
• Supports FBDIMM configurations of x8, x4, single, dual-rank DDR2 DRAMs
• Supports DDR2 DRAM technologies of 512 Mbit, 1 Gbit, and 2 Gbit
• Supports Closed Loop Thermal Throttling with FBDIMM AMB temperature sensors
• LED fault indicators for each DIMM
• One field replaceable unit (FRU) EEPROM
• Supports memory mirroring and memory sparing
See “Memory Board” for additional information.
Available Memory Configurations
The BIOS configures the system memory into the best possible configuration after comparing the
current FBDIMM population with the desired memory configuration selected by the user in BIOS
Setup. Possible configurations are:
Dual-channel Mode (Maximum Performance Mode): The default setting providing the
•
highest system performance and increased FBD bandwidth. This requires each lock-stepped
pair of FBDIMMs on a branch to be identical. A lock-stepped FBDIMM pair is defined as the
FBDIMMs installed in identically numbered FBDIMM sockets on both memory riser boards
(channels) on a given Memory Branch.
•
Single-channel Mode: A failsafe mode when the installed memory configuration is
incompatible with dual-channel operation. In single-channel mode, only Branch 0, Channel 0 is
operational with all other FBDIMMs disabled automatically.
•
DIMM Sparing Mode: Only supported in a lock-stepped (dual-channel) configuration. DIMM
Sparing is the use of a lock-stepped FBDIMM rank on a memory branch to provide a backup
in case any other lock-stepped FBDIMM rank on the same branch exceeds a user-selectable
Memory ECC Correctable Error threshold in a fixed time period. This failure prediction
mechanism allows the system to automatically:
- Copy the contents of a failing FBDIMM rank to a backup or spare FBDIMM rank
- Disable the failing FBDIMM rank
These actions are completed before the FBDIMM rank begins to generate more serious
memory ECC uncorrectable errors that would bring down the system by corrupting memory.
•
Memory Mirroring Mode: Memory Mirroring is a high availability mode providing a redundant
image of the system memory. This image allows the system to continue operating if memory
ECC uncorrectable errors would otherwise bring down the system in another memory
configuration.

Power Subsystem
The power subsystem consists of the following:
• Power supply modules
• The Power Distribution Board
The power subsystem can be configured with two power supply modules installed for 1+1 redundancy
at 220 VAC.
Power Supply Modules
The output rating of the power supply is 1570 W when operated between 180 VAC and 264 VAC. It
is a current-sharing power supply with auto-ranging input. The power supply is approximately 7.75
inches wide by 14.5 inches deep by 1.47 inches high. The power supply modules have universal AC
input with Power Factor Correction (PFC) Distributed Power Supplies (DPS). The AC input receptacle
is an IEC-320 C14.
The power supply has two DC outputs: 12 V and 3.3 VSB. The 12 V main power is distributed through
the server and is converted locally at the point-of-load using embedded VRM converters. The power
supply is capable of power-safe monitoring.
In an N+1 configuration, the 12 VDC outputs have active (forced) current sharing. The two externally
enabled outputs have the following maximum ratings:
• +12 VDC: 121 A
• +3.3 VDCSB: 5 A
Each power supply module requires one power cord to supply AC power to the system. When two
power supply modules and two power cords are installed, the system supports (1+1) power cord
redundancy. This feature allows the system to be powered by two separate AC sources. In the 1+1
configuration, the system continues to operate, without interruption, if one of the AC sources fails.
Each power supply module has three status LEDs. These are located next to the input connector,
A
B
C
as shown by the following figure.
Figure 6. Power Supply Indicators
Table 6. Power Supply Indicators
Location Purpose Description
A (left) Power Good LED (green) This green LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit
whenever the power is turned on.
B (center) Fault LED (amber) This amber LED is driven by internal circuitry and is
lit when a power rail has failed. The LED is lit even if
the power supply is in a latched state. The only time
(during a fault) when it is not lit is if the +3.3 VSB is
lost.
The LED is not lit when the power supply is turned off
by powering down the platform.
C (right) AC OK LED (green) This green LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit
whenever the AC power cord is plugged in to an active
AC power source.

Cooling Subsystem
CAUTION
The chassis top cover must be installed for proper system cooling. Cooling components must be hotswapped within two minutes. This time period applies only to the time that the cooling component
is physically removed, not from the time of failure.
The cooling subsystem consists of hot-swap, redundant (7+1) fans. In a redundant configuration, the
system supports one fault at a time, either one fan fault or one power supply fault, and it supports
hot-swapping one component at a time. If a cooling component fails, the system cooling is maintained
and the system continues to operate while the component is hot-swapped.
Each front fan assembly has one status LED. The LED is off when both fans are operating normally.
The LED illuminate amber if one or both of the fans fails. Failed front fans can be hot-swapped from
the front of the system.
Each rear fan has one status LED. The LED is off when the fan is operating normally and illuminates
amber if the fan fails. Failed rear fans can be replaced from the top of the system when the top cover
is removed.
Figure 7. Rear Fan Locations
For proper processor cooling, the processor duct must always be in place. Systems that are configured
with fewer than four processors should have processor blanks installed to maintain proper cooling.
Hot-swap PCI Slots
The two hot plug PCI slots have power and attention LEDs. The attention button is used to invoke a
hot-plug sequence to remove or add an adapter without having to use the software interface. They
are identified by the green arrow on the PCI divider label. The status of the LEDs is shown in Table
7 and Table 8.
Table 7. Power Indicator
Green Power LED State Definition
Off Power off: Power has been removed from the slot. A card can be
inserted or removed.
On Power on: The slot is powered on. A card cannot be inserted or
removed.
Blinking Power transition: The slot is in the process of powering up or down. A
card cannot be inserted or removed.
Table 8. Attention Indicator
Amber Attention LED State Definition
Off Normal: Normal operation
On Attention: Power fault or operational problem has occurred with this
slot.
Blinking Locate: The slot is being identified at the user’s request.
/ NOTE
If you hot-remove a PCI card without following the proper procedure, power will automatically be
turned off to the slot.
