Description

Network T eaming Features

The network controller provides sev eral options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows® NT 4.0, Windows® 2000 or NetWare® 4.1x or newer:

• Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. AFT works with any hub or switch.

• Adaptive Load B alancing (ALB) - creates a team of 2 - 4 adapters to increase transmission throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX switch.

• Fast EtherChannel and reception throughput. Also includes AFT. Requires an FEC-enabled switch.

(FEC) - creates a team of 2, 3 or 4 adapters to increase transmission

Adapter Fault Tolerance

Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By assigning two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance.

AFT is implemented with two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled. If the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically takes over.

Preferred Primary Adapter

With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For example if you have a server with a PRO/100 Intelligent Ser ver adapter as the primary adapter and a PRO/1 00+ adapter as the secondary, y ou would w ant the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter to be the preferred primary . In this scenario, if the PRO/1 00 Intelligent Server adapter fails, the PRO/1 00+ will take ov er . T hen when the PRO/1 00 Intelligent Server adapter is replaced, it will automatically revert to being the primary adapter in the team.

If a Pref erred Primary is not selected, PROSet will at tempt to select the best adapter , based on adapter model and speed.

Mixed Adapt er Teaming

AFT supports up to four PRO/1000 or PRO/100 adapters per team, in any mix.

Adaptive Load Balancing

Adaptive Load B alancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient w ay to increase your server’ s transmit throughput. With ALB you group PRO/1 00 Intelligent Server adapters in teams to provide an increased transmit rate (up to 400 Mbps) using a maximum of four adapters. T he ALB sof tware continuously analyzes transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps.

T o use ALB, y ou must hav e two, three, or four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch.

MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Mainboard Manual

Keyboard and Mouse

The ke yboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. The server may be lock ed automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time, if specified through the System Set up Utility (SSU). Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has e xpired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.

ACPI

The MAXDATA PLATINUM 1200/3200 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b. An ACPI aware operating system can put the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the sy stem fans stop, and all processing is halted. Howev er , the po wer supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power supply fan and processor fans will still run.

The MAXD ATA PLATINUM 1200/3200 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.

• s0: Normal running state.

• s1: Processor sleep state: No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will maintain coherency .

• s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button or other wakeup e vent will restore the system state from the disk and resume normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while it was off.

• s5: Soft off: Only the RTC section of the chipset and the BMC are running in this state.

CAUTION

The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Control server management software monitors the system intrusion switch.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

If installed, you can activate the c hassis intrusion alarm switc h. When the side door is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and ser ver management software process the signal. The system can be programmed to respond to an intrusion by locking the keyboard, for example.

Software Locks

The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, you can access the system only after you enter the correct password(s). For example:

• Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time out period 1 to 120 minutes.

• Set and enable a supervisor password.

• Set and enable a user password.

• Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset and power switches.

• Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.

• Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

• Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.

Description

Using Passwords

You can set either the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords. If only the user password is set, you:

• Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.

• Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.

• Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.

If only the supervisor password is set, you:

• Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.

• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.

• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.

If both passwords are set, you:

• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Set up or the SSU. Ho wev er , you will not be able to change many of the options.

• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU and have access to all of the options.

• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.

• May enter either password to exit secure mode.

Secure Mode

Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:

• You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user password to use the keyboard or mouse.

• You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel switches.

Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via the Server Manager Module or power control via the real time clock.

Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered of f when secure mode is later remo ved. Ho we ver, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.

Summary of Software Security Features

The table below lists the software security features and describes what protection each off ers. In general, to enable or set the features listed here, you must run the SSU and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup utility.

Installation Procedures

Installing the I/O Gasket and Shield

✏ NOTE

An A TX 2.03-compliant I/O shield is pro vided with the server board. T he shield is required by Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) regulations to minimize EMI. If the shield does not fit the chassis, obtain a properly sized shield from the chassis supplier.

The shield fits the rectangular opening in the back of a chassis. The shield has cutouts that match the I/O ports. Install the shield from inside the chassis.

Attaching the Gasket to the I/O Shield

1. Remove the two backing strips from the gasket.

2. Press the gasket onto the inside face of the I/O shield as show.

Figure 3. Attaching the Gasket to the I/O Shield

MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Mainboard Manual

Attaching the Label to the I/O Shield

1. Remove the backing from the label included with your server board.

2. Press the label onto the outside face of the I/O shield.

Figure 4. Attaching the Label to the I/O Shield

Installing the I/O Shield

1. Position one edge so that the dot ted groove is outside the c hassis wall, and the lip of the shield rests on the inner chassis wall.

2. Hold the shield in place, and push it into the opening until it is seated. Make sure the I/O shield snaps into place all the way around.

Figure 5. Installing the I/O Shield

Server Board Installation

Installing the Processor(s)

CAUTIONS

If only one processor is to be used, it must be installed in the Primary Processor Socket (CPU1) and a Terminator must be installed in the Secondary Processor Socket (CPU2).

If you are adding a second processor to your system, you must verify that the second processor is identical to the first Intel

Pentium® III, same voltage and speed.

This server board has “zero-insertion-force” sockets. If processor does not drop easily into socket holes, make sure the lever is in the full-upright position.

1 . Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional

precautions given here.

2. When installing the primary processor, lif t the loc king bar on the processor soc ket (CPU1) as shown. If adding a second processor, lift the locking bar on the secondary processor socket (CPU2), and repeat steps 3 through 7 after installing the primary processor.

Figure 6. Lifting the Locking Bar

3. Align the pins of the processor with the soc k et and insert the processor into the soc ket. Lower the locking bar completely.

5. Close the heat sink retention clip as shown. Use slow, constant pressure to close the retention clip lever.

Figure 9. Locking the Heat Sink Retention Clip

6. Attach the fan heat sink clip to the processor socket as shown.

Figure 10. Attaching the Heat Sink Fan

7. Connect the processor fan cable(s) to the correct connector in the “Making Connections to the Server Board” section below.

MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Mainboard Manual

Installing a Terminator

If only one processor is to be installed, a terminator must be installed in Secondary Processor Socket (CPU 2).

1. Align the corner mark on the terminator with the handle side of the processor socket.

2. Close and latch the socket lever.

Figure 11. Installing a Terminator

✏ NOTE

It is not necessary to install a heat sink on the processor terminator.

Installing Memory

The MAXDATA PLATINUM 1200/3200 Server Board contains six 1 68-pin DIMMs. Memory is partitioned as three banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs.
