Diagnostic LEDs

Diagnostic LEDs use signal display to help users understand their system.When POST or Service Processor detects an error, the corresponding LEDs light up to alert the user to the condition and help service personnel identify the failing component. A system error single LED on the front panel and in the rear of the system first alters the users that an error has occurred. Service personnel next check inside the system to determine which subsystem has an error LED lit. This information helps the service personnel to locate the failing component for replacement. The full failing path remians lit until POST no longer exists or the error is fixed.

Hardware Setup

Chapter 2. Hardware Setup

This chapter tells you how to install the CPU, memory modules, and expansion cards, as well as how to setup the jumpers on the mainboard. Also, it provides the instructions on connecting the peripheral devices, such as the mouse, keyboard, etc.

While doing the installation, be careful in holding the components and follow the installation procedures.

Hardware Setup

Page 23

2-2

MS-9245 1U Rackmount Server

The mainboard supports Single AMD® Opteron UP or Dual AMD

Opteron DP™ processor(s). The mainboard uses two CPU sockets called Socket 940 for easy CPU installation. Y ou can install SINGLE or DUAL CPUs on the mainboard to meet your own needs. Keep the following points in mind before installing CPU(s):

1. If SINGLE CPU is intended, always install the CPU on the U1

socket.

2. T o install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same type/

stepping of AMD Opteron DP™ CPUs running at the same frequency.

Central Processing Unit: CPU

As processor technology pushes to faster speeds and higher performance, thermal management becomes increasingly crucial when building computer systems. Maintaining the proper thermal environment is key to reliable operation. As such, the processor must be maintained in the specified thermal requirements.

You need to add thermal grease between the CPU and heatsink to improve heat dissipation. Then, make sure that the CPU and heatsink are securely fastened and in good contact with each other. These are needed to prevent damaging the processor and ensuring reliable operation. If you want to get more information on the proper cooling, you can visit AMD’s website for reference.

WARNING! Thermal Issue for CPU

Page 24

2-3

Hardware Setup

1. Make sure that the computer

is turned off, and the power cord disconnected before installing the CPU.

2. Pull the lever sideways away

from the socket, and raise it up to a 90-degree angle.

3. Locate the cut edge of the

CPU. When the CPU is installed into the socket, this cut edge should be aligned with the corner marking an arrow on the Socket 940.

Please note that the CPU can only fit in a correct orientation, DO NOT use force to install the CPU into the socket.

4. Place the CPU onto the socket

and press it down firmly into the socket. The pins of the CPU should be embedded into the socket completely.

5. Close the lever to secure the

CPU. Do not close the level until the CPU’s pins are fully inserted; otherwise, the pins may be damaged.

The mainboard supports up to eight registered ECC DDR200/266/333 DIMMs providing up to 16GB of memory. Each DIMM slot supports up to a maximum size of 2GB. Y ou can install either single- or double-sided modules to meet your own needs.

Memory

DDR DIMM Slots

You can install either one or two DIMM modules on the slots. Use Slot 1, 3, 6 or 8 for single DDR module installation. If DDR modules are installed on Slot 5 ~ 8, CPU2 must be installed.

Memory modules can be installed in any combination as follows:

DIMM Module Combination

NOTE

Memory modules “in pairs” must be of the same type and size.

Hardware Setup

Installing DDR Modules

1. The DDR DIMM has only one notch on the center of module. The module

will only fit in the right orientation.

2. Insert the DIMM memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then

push it in until the golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Fan Power Connectors: SF AN1/SF AN2/SFAN3/SF AN4/SF AN5

The SFAN1/SF AN2/SFAN3/SFAN4/SFAN5 (system fans) support system cooling fan with +12V. It supports three-pin head connector. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset on-board, you must use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan control.

NOTE

1. Always consult the vendors for proper CPU cooling fan.

2. SFAN supports the fan control. MS-9245 will automatically control the CPU fan speed according to the system temperature.

PCI-X 100/133 Jumper: JPCIXB1

The jumper is used to set the channel B of 64-bit PCI bus (PCIX) to run at

100MHz or at 133MHz (for use with one PCI-X 133 device).

Jumpers

Clear CMOS Jumper: JBA T1

If you want to clear the system configuration, use the JBAT1 (Clear

CMOS Jumper ) to clear data.

Keep Data Clear Data

NOTE

You can clear CMOS by shorting 2-3 pin while the system is off. Then return to 1-2 pin position. Avoid clearing the CMOS while the system is on; it will damage the mainboard.

Hardware Setup

PCI Interrupt Request Routing

The IRQ, acronym of interrupt request line and pronounced I-R-Q, are hardware lines over which devices can send interrupt signals to the microprocessor. The PCI IRQ pins are typically connected to the PCI bus INT A# ~ INT D# pins as follows:

PCI Slots

Two PCI slots allow you to insert the expansion cards to meet your needs. When adding or removing expansion cards, make sure that you unplug the power supply first. Meanwhile, read the documentation for the expansion card to make any necessary hardware or software settings for the expansion card, such as jumpers, switches or BIOS configuration.

The motherboard provides two 64-bit PCI-X 100/133MHz slots. One is full length and the other is half length.

Slots

Primary IDE Interrupt: IRQ14 (for AMD811 1)

Secondary IDE Interrupt: IRQ15 (for AMD811 1)

Chapter 3. BIOS Setup

BIOS Setup

This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows you to configure the system for optimum use. You may need to run the Setup program when:

 An error message appears on the screen during the system

booting up, and requests you to run SETUP.

 You want to change the default settings for customized

features.

Upon boot-up, the 1st line appearing after the memory count is the BIOS version. It is usually in the format:

A6380MS V1.0 091096 where:

1st digit refers to the BIOS maker as A = AMI, W = AWARD, and P = PHOENIX. 2nd - 5th digit refers to the model number. 6th - 7th digit refers to the customer as MS = all standard customers. V1.0 refers to the BIOS version. 091096 refers to the date this BIOS was released.
