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:

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,

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.
22 23MAXDATA PLATINUM 7200 IR M7Platform Description
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

The I/O riser board is a vertical riser that provides advanced server management with a dedicated
maintenance Ethernet port, and additional dual-gigabit Ethernet ports.
The Remote Management Module 2 (RMM2) and RMM2 NIC plug into the I/O riser board to provide an
upgrade path to advanced server management capabilities. When the optional RMM2 is installed, the
original set of server management features continue to work and additional functionality is available.
This functionality seamlessly integrates into the server, with respect to configuration functions and
software support.
The RMM2 supports keyboard, mouse, video redirect, and media redirect functionality, which lets
the user use the remote system to control the host server.
The Intel 82575EB PCI Express-based Ethernet controller provides advanced networking control and
capability with dual-gigabit Ethernet ports. This controller hosts the Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology
II (Intel® I/OAT2) capability that provides optimization of the TCP flow. The Intel® I/O riser provides an

purposes only, and other features are associated with a value field that you can configure. Depending
on the security option chosen and in effect, a menu feature’s value may be changeable. If a value
cannot be changed, the feature’s value field is inaccessible.
Console Redirection
The BIOS supports redirection of both video and keyboard through a serial link (COM port). When
console redirection is enabled, local (host server) keyboard input and video output are passed both
to the local keyboard and video connections and to the remote console via the serial link. Keyboard
inputs from both sources are considered valid and video is displayed to both outputs. With console
redirection, the system can be operated without a host keyboard or monitor attached to the system
and run entirely via the remote console. Setup and any other text-based utilities can be accessed via
console redirection.
Serial Configuration Settings
When redirecting through a modem (as opposed to a null modem cable), the modem needs to be
configured with the following:
• Auto-answer (for example, ATS0=2, to answer after two rings).
• Modem reaction to DTR set to return to command state (e.g., AT&D1).
Failure to provide the second item will result in the modem either dropping the link when the server
reboots (as in AT&D0) or becoming unresponsive to server baud rate changes (as in AT&D2).
The option for handshaking must be set to RTS/CTS + CD for optimum performance. The CD refers
to carrier detect. If EMP is sharing the COM port with serial redirection, the handshaking must be
set to Xon/Xoff + CD. In selecting this form of handshaking, the server is prevented from sending
video updates to a modem that is not connected to a remote modem. If this is not selected, video
update data being sent to the modem inhibits many modems from answering an incoming call. An
EMP option utilizing CD should not be used if a modem is not used and the CD is not connected.
Both EMP and console redirection require N, 8, 1 mode (no parity, 8-bit data, 1 stop bit).
The BIOS does not require that the splash logo be turned off for console redirection to function. The
BIOS supports multiple consoles, some of which are in graphics mode and some in text mode. The
graphics consoles can display the logo while the text consoles receive the redirected text.
The console redirection ends at the beginning of the Legacy OS boot (INT 19h).
Keystroke Mappings
During console redirection, the remote terminal (which may be a dumb terminal or a system with a
modem running a communication program) sends keystrokes to the local server. The local server
passes video back over this same link. The keystroke mappings follow VT-UTF8 format with the
following extensions.
Setup Alias Keys
The <Del> and <Ctrl>-<function key> combinations are synonyms for the <F2> or “Setup” key. These
are not prompted for in screen messages. These hotkeys are defined only for Console Redirection
support, and are not used on locally attached keyboards.
Limitations
BIOS Console redirection terminates after an EFI-aware operating system calls EFI Boot Service
ExitBootServices. The operating system is responsible for continuing the Console Redirection after
that point. BIOS console redirection is a text console and any graphical data such as a logo are not
redirected.
Interface to Server Management
If BIOS determines that console redirection is enabled, it passes the baud rate through the Intelligent
Platform Management Bus (IPMB) to the appropriate management controller.
Sample Setup for Console Redirection
Below is an example of how to configure the console/host and server for console redirection. In
this example, the console is running under Microsoft® Windows®. The console and server is directly
connected through the serial ports of both systems using a serial null modem cable:
Server Configuration

Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) Shell
The EFI shell application allows other EFI applications to be launched, EFI device drivers to be loaded,
and operating systems to be booted. The combination of the EFI firmware and the EFI Shell provides
an environment that can be modified and adapted to many hardware configurations.
The EFI shell provides a set of basic commands to manage files and EFI NVRAM shell and boot

POST Progress Codes and Messages
The system BIOS complies with the EFI Framework POST Progress Code specification by reporting 32bit status codes at various points during POST that contain class, subclass, and operation information.
The class and subclass fields describe the type of hardware that is being initialized. The operation
field represents the specific initialization activity.
The system BIOS truncates 32-bit EFI POST Progress Codes to 8-bit values for display on the system
board Diagnostic LED array. The resulting 8-bit POST code is displayed on the system board POST
Code Diagnostic LED array at the start of each configuration process. This information can be used
to assist with debugging system hangs during POST by identifying the last POST process initiated
by the BIOS.

POST Error Messages and Handling
The POST Error Manager displays error messages reported by the system BIOS during POST. The
system BIOS truncates the 32-bit EFI POST Progress Code associated with the error to 16-bit values
for display in the POST Error Manager.
The POST Error Manager behavior in response to the error is defined by the error severity reported
by the BIOS. Errors are categorized in one of three severity levels. The system behavior in response
to severity level of:
• Fatal
- The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
- The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
- The BIOS unconditionally enters POST Error Manager to display error message.
- The BIOS halts the system to prevent boot.
- The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system.
• Major
- The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
- The BIOS logs an error message to the BMC System Event Log (SEL).
- The BIOS continues booting in a degraded state by default (i.e. BIOS does not
automatically enter the POST Error Manager to display the error message).
- The user can override this default behavior by configuring the BIOS Setup POST Error
Pause option to Enabled. This forces the system to enter the POST Error Manager and
display the error message before booting.
- The user can choose to take immediate corrective action or continue booting.
• Minor
- The BIOS logs an error to the POST Error Manager.
- The BIOS continues booting with a degraded state (i.e. BIOS does not automatically enter
the POST Error Manager to display the error message).
- The user may want to replace the erroneous unit.
The POST Error Manager reports a maximum of 500 errors on any single boot cycle. Errors are
automatically cleared from the Error Manager on each boot.
