Main Components

The following sections provide information about the components in the main chassis.

Itanium 2 Processors

Depending on system configuration, your system includes four or eight Intel Itanium 2 64-bit 1.3-GHz/3-MB or 1.5-GHz/6.0-MB processors. Four Intel Itanium 2 processors are installed within one CELLV board. See Figure 1-5. A second CELLV board has an additional four Intel Itanium 2 processors. All processors installed in your system must be of identical bus and core speed.

System Memory

Each CELLV board in your system contains sixteen 168-pin DIMM sockets. See Figure 1-5. Memory DIMMs must be populated four at a time with 1-GB ECC SDRAM DIMMs. Depending on the number of DIMMs installed, your system may include from 4 GB up to a maximum of 32 GB of memory using 1-GB DIMMs.

PCI-X Core Module

The server’s expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for high performance I/O by providing twelve hot-swap PCI-X expansion slots within the Core Module. The Core Module consists of a CrossBar Controller (XBC) and an I/O Router (IOR). The Core Module can be connected with up to two CELLV Boards, to control data transfers between the CELLV Boards.

The Core Module includes five full-length and three half-length 64-bit/66-MHz hotswap PCI-X slots and three full-length and one half-length 64-bit/133-MHz hot-swap PCI-X slots. The PCI-X slots allow PCI-X boards to be installed or removed while the server is powered on (if the operating system supports the Hot Plug PCI function). A Basic I/O Board to support standard I/O interface and a video VGA controller board are installed in the Core Module. The Basic I/O Board and video VGA board are not hotswappable.

Note: Your operating system must support the Hot Plu g PCI

function.

A DVD-ROM drive is installed in the Core Module as standard equipment. Optionally, a DAT tape drive or USB FDD and up to 4 disk storage hard disk drives may be added to the Core Module. See Figure 1-2.

System Overview 1-9

Service Processor Board

The Service Processor Board (iSP-C Board) controls power and monitors status of all components (see Figure 1-4). The board uses a PowerPC chip as the processor for iSP-C, memory, LAN, serial interface, and clock distribution functionality. The Service Processor Board performs initialization of the system, RAS functions, diagnostic functions, failure management of the system, and clock generation and distribution.

Power/Status LEDs

Three LEDs are visible on the front of the server system cabinet (see Figure 1-2):

! AC ! DC ! Status.

See Table 1-1 for a description of the LEDs.

LED LED State Description

Table 1-1. Power/Status LEDs

Green On OS ready (one node or more). Amber

System Functions

The following subsections describe select system functions.

Partitioning

If your system includes two CELLV Boards and an optional core PCIX expansion unit, your server may be partitioned at the hardware level into two distinct subsystems, enabling each subsystem to operate as an independent computer system, each with its own operating system.

On AC power on. AC Green Off AC power off.

On DC power on (lights when DC48V is supplied). DC Green Off DC power off.

On System is in Maintenance mode (execution of the SP “cm”

command).

Off Failure or offline state.

It is possible to divide the eight-CPU system into two subsystems, each of which has four CPUs, and let them each function separately. In this way it’s possible to allocate processor capacity according to workload status, resulting in flexible system operation.

Each partition is physically isolated by the hardware settings; a software error does not affect the other partitions. Thus the system can maintain high security.

1-10 System Overview

Each partition consists of a CELLV Board and a core PCIX unit. Multiple OS instances can run on different partitions independently. If a partition has at least one PCIX unit with basic I/O, the CELLV Boards and the PCIX units can be flexibly assigned to any partition.

The Service Processor manages the partitioning settings and configuration changes.

Chipset and Crossbar Switch

NEC developed a high-performance chipset and crossbar switch that is based on supercomputer mainframe technology. The crossbar switch connects the CELLV boards. The crossbar switch has a low latency as well as high data bandwidth. While comprising Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (cc-NUMA) architecture, the system employs the chipset and crossbar switch technology in achieving near uniform high-speed memory access.

Server Management

The Service Processor supports many management functions compatible to the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).

The system supports the following ACPI features:

! Configuration information tables interface from a platform. ! Software power off controls, etc.

The Service Processor also works as a management controller defined in IPMI. It supports the following IPMI features.

! Provides Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information to System Management

Services (SMS) running on the operating system.

! Monitors system power, fan speed, and temperature conditions. ! Monitors stall occurrences during the power-up sequence, OS loading, and

normal running using a watchdog timer, etc.

The Service Processor provides the following management features:

! Error handling (error monitoring, logging, diagnostics, and reporting) ! System reset ! System configuration management ! Firmware update, etc.

The SMS running on a PC can control the above functions using the Service Processor’s system management LAN port, which can support TELNET, FTP, and SNMP protocol. With the combination of the Service Processor and the SystemGlobe/GlobalMaster software, the Express 5800/1080Xd supports automatic reconfiguration of partitions based on the conditions pre-defined in the SystemGlobe/GlobalMaster.

System Overview 1-11

Expansion

The Express5800/1080Xd server can be expanded by adding:

! Memory ! I/O boards ! Disk drives ! PCIX Expansion Unit.

Disk drives can connect to a SCSI board, and ATA devices can connect to the Basic I/O Board. You can also connect peripheral devices via PCI cards installed in the optional PCIX Unit.

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the server provides the following security features:

! Locked areas require a security key for entry. Locked areas include the rear

chassis door and drive bay units.

! The BIOS Setup utility provides user and administrative password security,

protecting the system from unauthorized operation.

! Console operation requires the entry of login authentication with a login account

and password.

SP Console

The service processor (SP) in the Express5800/1080Xd main chassis provides the interface for system management and RAS functions. The SP is on the service processor and clock (ISP-C) board.

The following sections describe:

! SP console connections ! Console operations ! Console status and login authentication ! Login and Main Menu.

SP Console Connections

The service processor supports two types of console connections (see Figure 3-1):

! serial (local console) ! LAN via TCP port 5001 (LAN console).

Both serial and LAN console connections provide the same operation. However, the LAN console requires an initial configuration which can only be done using the local console. See Table 3-1 for console configuration settings.

Note: The most effective connection method between the

Express5800/1000 Series and the Service Processor is by using a telnet utility. Multiple instances of the telnet utility can be running at once, providing multiple windows with which to monitor and control the system. These utilities also provide logging features, which can be very useful in back-tracking system settings and status reports. Be sure to set VT100 emulation mode.

You can use the consoles to:

! Operate the service processor using SP commands ! Redirect the operating system (BIOS) serial console (in main chassis) ! Display the Virtual SOP (Virtual System Operator Panel).

Console Status and Login Authentication

To use the consoles, you must first log into the service processor. When you log into the service processor, the iSP Main Menu appears.

From the iSP Main Menu, you can switch to one of the following functions:

! Virtual SOP – displays the system operating state for each partition with periodic

updates.

! OS Console – redirects the serial input/output for the operating system (including

BIOS).

! SP Command Console – allows you to monitor service processor output

messages required for system operation and maintenance and to enter commands for the service processor. The SP Command Console lets you run commands required for system operation.

Service Processor 3-3

Table 3-2 lists the login account and login password default values for entering the Main Menu and using menu functions.

Table 3-2. Login Account and Password Defaults

Note: Only one connection to the OS Console per partition, up

to five connections to the Virtual SOP in the entire system, and only one prime connection to the SP Command Console in the entire system can be made simultaneously. If LAN is used, additional SP Command Consoles can be attached using hubs, but they will be in monitor mode only, and commands can be entered only via the prime connection.

SP Command Console Buffer

SP Command Console output from the service processor might contain important information, such as the cause of a system state change. With the LAN console, however, you cannot monitor the console output from the end of iSP startup until the LAN console connection is established. Therefore, the iSP has a function to save a certain amount of message output in a buffer while the connection is being established to the SP Command Console. About 1,000 lines of messages can be stored in this buffer. The buffer stores the latest 1,000 lines of messages. You can use the ML command to view the messages stored in the buffer.

DN (Shut Down System Power)

Execution:

This command can be executed on a partition if Automatic startup has completed or the UP command has been executed. (The partition is in the DC POWER ON state.)

Function:

This command turns off system power (DC). If software is not running (for example, in the S0 state), this command turns off the

system. If any software, such as the OS and BIOS, is running (for example, in the S0 state), this

command only reports a power button interrupt to the software, and the process for the power button interrupt depends on the software. (The software may ignore the power button interrupt, or may perform a shutdown and turn off the power.)

Even if the iSP recognizes that some software is running, the software may not be able to process the power button interrupt due to stalling. In this case, use the DF command to force the system to turn off.

Note: The DN command can be executed in Normal mode or

Maintenance mode.

clear

mmcxy rowz

- - Clears the memory bit error counters of ROW. “x” is the physical CELLV Board number (0-3). “y” is the MMC number (0-1) within the CELLV

Board. “z” is the ROW number (0-3). Each ROW has 3 counters. 3 counters are

cleared at the same time. [Types of error counters]

• Single bit error counter:

Counts in the unit of DIMM in the ROW.

• Multi bit counter:

Counts in the unit of the ROW.

This subcommand can be executed in the AC POWER ON state or DC POWER ON state.

Table 3-36. HC State Display Strings

Displayed String Description

nonexist Indicates that a component is defined as non-existent (i.e. the iSP manages a

component as if it does not exist).

INVISIBLE The iSP manages a component as if it exists, but it does not exist when seen

from the iSP due to failure or other reasons. Once it is recognized by the iSP (regardless of auto detection or manual setting),

it will be managed as if it exists unless you delete it explicitly using the “delete” command.

power-off Indicates that the power supply (DC) is OFF.

For some components, the power supply (DC) becomes ON when AC is supplied.

power-on Indicates that the power supply (DC) is ON.

For some components, it is overwritten by the following state display.

offline Indicates that the power supply (DC) is ON and a component is not configured in

the software (OS or BIOS). This applies to the CELLV Board, XIC/XBR Board, PCIV/PCIX Unit, and their

subcomponents.

online Indicates that the power supply (DC) is ON and a component is configured in the

software (OS or BIOS).

master This is valid only for the state display of the ISP-C Board. Always Indicates that

enable Indicates that the component itself is enabled (used for system operation).

it is operating as the master.

Table 3-36. HC State Display Strings (cont’d)

Displayed String Description

DISABLE Indicates that the component itself is disabled (not used for system operation).

In this state, it is detached from the system manually with the “disable” command.

DISABLE* Indicates that the component itself is disabled (not used for system operation).

In this state, it is detached from the system due to failure of the component itself or failure of the host interface.

It should not be configured in the system until the defective part is replaced.

DEG Indicates that some subcomponents are in the DISABLE state.
