Overview

Your server is a modular, multiprocessing server based on the Intel® Xeon
microprocessor family. It is a solid performer and offers the latest technology. The
combination of compute performance, memory capacity, and integrated I/O provides a
high performance environment for many server market applications. These range from
large corporations supporting remote offices to small companies looking to obtain basic
connectivity capability such a file and print services, e-mail, web access, web site
server, etc.

This server is conveniently housed and available as a tower-based system
(see Figure 1-1) or as a rack-mount system (fits into a standard EIA 19-inch rack
assembly).

Figure 1-1 Tower System Front View

Your server may include hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays. The hot-swap SCSI hard
disk drive bays hold up to six 1.0-inch SCSI hard disk drives that can be swapped in or
out of the system without powering it down, if RAID is configured in the system.

As application requirements increase, you can expand your server with an additional
processor, additional memory, add-in boards and peripheral devices; tape devices, CD­ROM, and hard disk drives.

1-2 System Overview

System Features

Your system features the following major components:

! Single or dual high-performance Intel™ Xeon™ 1.80GHz or 2.66GHz

processors.

! 256 MB to 4 GB of ECC SDRAM two way interleaved memory, using up to four

DIMMs.

! Six PCI expansion slots for add-in boards (four 64-bit/100MHz PCI slots and

two 32-bit/33MHz PCI slots).

! A maximum of six hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays accessible from the front

of the chassis.

! Hot-swap SCSI disk drive backplane; a failed drive can be removed and replaced

with a new drive without system power being turned off (if an optional
Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller is installed.)

! High degree of SCSI disk fault tolerance and advanced disk array management

features through the use of RAID technology, if an optional RAID controller is
installed.

! Embedded PC-compatible support (serial, parallel, mouse, keyboard, diskette,

USB, LAN, and video).

! Integrated onboard ATI RAGE XL Video Graphics Array (VGA) controller with

8MB of video memory (VRAM).

! Adaptec SCSI controller providing Ultra-320/160 SCSI interfaces.

Xeon™ Processors

Depending on system configuration, each system includes one or two Intel Xeon

1.80GHz or 2.66GHz processors. Each processor plugs into a INT3/FCPGA socket
package. The processor includes a 512K cache. When two processors are installed, both
processors must be of identical bus and core speed.

The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 400MHz. The second-level
cache is located on the substrate of the processor cartridge. The cache includes burst
pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM).

System Memory

The system board contains four 168-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as two
banks of registered SDRAM DIMMs (DDR200 compatible) that must be populated in
pairs, each providing 72 bits of buffered two-way interleaved memory (64-bit main
memory plus ECC). Your system may include from 256 MB to 4 GB of memory, using
up to four DIMMs.

System memory begins at address 0 and is continuous (flat addressing) up to the
maximum amount of DRAM installed (exception: system memory is noncontiguous in
the ranges defined as memory holes using configuration registers). The system
supports both base (conventional) and extended memory.

PCI Riser Slots

The server's expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for
high performance I/O by providing PCI expansion slots.

The system board has four full-length, full height 64-bit/100MHz PCI slots and two 32­bit/33MHz PCI slots.

Video Controller

The system board uses an ATI RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator with 8 MB of video
SDRAM. The embedded SVGA video subsystem supports:

! Resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 under 2D and 1024 x 768 under 3D
! CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.

The system board supports disabling of the onboard video through the BIOS setup
menu or when a plug in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.

SCSI Controller

The system board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC7901W SCSI controller. The
AIC7901W provides Ultra-320/160 SCSI functions. As implemented on the system
board, the interface attaches to an Ultra-320/160 SCSI backplane that supports up to six
Ultra-320/160 SCA drives.

Network Controller

The system board uses a dual-channel Ethernet Controller and supports 10Base­T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T network subsystems.

System Overview 1-13

The Network controller supports the following features:

! 64-bit, 100 MHz PCI-X interface
! Integrated IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, and 1000Base-T compatible

PHY

! IEEE 820.3u auto-negotiation support
! Chained memory structure similar to the 82557, 82558, 82559 and 82596
! Full duplex support at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps operation
! Low power +3.3 V devices.

On the system board, NIC1 can be used as both a network interface and server
management interface.

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible.

RJ-45 Serial Port

The rear RJ-45 serial port is a fully functional serial port that supports any standard
serial device and provides support for serial concentrators. For server applications that
use a serial concentrator to access the server management features of the mother board,
a standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the
rear RJ-45 serial port. The 8 pins of the RJ-45 connector can be configured to match
either of two pin-out standards used by serial port devices.

ACPI

To accommodate either standard, the J5A2 jumper block located directly behind the
rear RJ-45 serial port must be jumpered appropriately according to the desired standard.

An Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system can
place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and
all processing is halted. However, in this state the power supply is still on and the
processors are still dissipating some power such that the power supply fan and
processor fans are still running.

Note: ACPI requires an operating system that supports its

feature.

!

CAUTION

Only when the AC power is disconnected is the system completely
off.

The sleep states are defined as follows:

! s0: Normal running state.

1-14 System Overview

! 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 event restores the system state from the disk and resumes 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.

System Board Management Controller (BMC)

Server management is concentrated in the System Board Management Controller
(BMC). The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from a 5Vdc standby voltage,
which remains active when system power is switched off, but the ac power source is
still on and connected.

The BMC supports the Management Workstation Application (MWA), which allows
remote server management via a modem or direct connection to a manager system.
Events monitored by the manager system include over-temperature and over-voltage
conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion.

Information on the Management Workstation Application (MWA) may be found in
Appendix B of this User’s Guide.

One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management
events, and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). The events
being monitored include overtemperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or
chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring, the BMC maintains the nonvolatile
Sensor Data Records (SDRs), from which sensor information can be retrieved. The
BMC provides an ISA host interface to SDR sensor information, so that software
running on the server can poll and retrieve the server's current status.

The BMC performs the following:

! Monitors server board temperature and voltage
! Monitors processor presence and controls Fault Resilient Boot (FRB)
! Detects and indicates baseboard fan failure
! Manages the SEL interface
! Manages the SDR Repository interface
! Monitors the SDR/SEL timestamp clock
! Monitors the system management watchdog timer
! Monitors the periodic SMI timer
! Monitors the event receiver

System Overview 1-15

! Controls secure mode, including video blanking, diskette write-protect

monitoring, and front panel lock/unlock initiation

! Controls Wake On LAN via Magic Packet support.

Power Supplies

The system contains one auto-sensing 450-watt power supply at an operating frequency
of 50/60 Hz.

A second optional power supply may be added as part of a fault-tolerant hot-swap
design. With two power supplies installed, in the unlikely event of a power supply
failure, the load is transferred to the remaining power supply without interruption to
normal operation. In this case the faulty power supply can be replaced without
powering down the system.

NOTE: The power supplies are not hot-swappable unless there are two power

supplies installed.

The power supplies are designed to comply with existing emission standards and
provide sufficient power for a fully loaded system configuration.

Peripheral Bays

The system supports a variety of standard PC AT-compatible peripheral devices. The
chassis includes these peripheral bays:

! A 3.5-inch front panel bay for installing the standard 3.5-inch floppy disk drive

(supports 720KB and 1.44MB floppy disk media)

! Four 5.25-inch device bays for installing half-height or full-height 5.25-inch

peripheral devices such as an optional tape drives.

! The SCSI hard disk drive bays for installing up to six SCSI hard disk drives.

The SCSI disk drives can be easily installed or removed. The drive carrier allows you
to access to disk drives from the front of the system. If disk drives are provided with
RAID configuration within the system, a disk drive can be swapped with another
without power interruption in the system (hot-swap).

NOTE:

require an 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector on the drives that
you install.

The SCSI hard disk drive bays contain a hot-swap back plane that

1-16 System Overview

System Functions

The following subsections describe select system functions.

Degradation Feature

The degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM or processor to assure
continuous operation of the server when the POST (Power On Self-Test, self-diagnosis
program after power on) detects such a DIMM or processor.

Failed DIMMs and processors may be identified on the screen that the POST displays,
or with the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." They may also be identified on the system
that has the ESMPRO installed.

Remote Power-On Feature (Wake On LAN)

The remote power-on function turns on the server through a network. It sends a special
packet from the management computer to a remote server to turn it on if the server is
off-powered.

To enable this feature, you must select "Enabled" for "Wake on LAN" in the Advanced
Chipset Control of the Advanced menu of the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." (See
Chapter 4.)

The remote power-on feature is not available in the following cases. Press the POWER
switch once to start the OS, and turn off the server in an appropriate procedure.

! Abnormal previous system shut-down
! No power supply to the server (due to turned-off breaker, disconnected power

cord, power blackout, etc.)

AC-LINK Feature

When the power cord of the server is connected to an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS) unit, the server supports the power linkage feature that enables control over the
power supply from the UPS to the server. The AC-LINK feature can be enabled or
disabled with the Server menu of the BIOS setup utility, "SETUP." (See Chapter 4.)

System Overview 1-17

Security

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full
lockable front panel and Server Management software that monitors the system
intrusion switches.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

The front door of the server contains a mechanical lock to prevent access to the front of
the computer chassis.

The computer chassis includes an intrusion switch for the front cover and
intrusion/interlock switches for the left side cover (as viewed from the front). When
any these covers are opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board,
where server management software processes the signal. The side cover switch also
operates as interlock switch.

Software Locks via the System Setup Utility

The BIOS SETUP Utility provides a number of security features to prevent
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are
enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters 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 – 2 to 120
minutes.

! Set and enable an administrative 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 floppy disk drive when secure mode is set.

upgrades.

2-2 Setting Up the System

Unpacking the System

!

WARNING

The non-hot-swap system can weigh up to 40 pounds
(18 kg) and the hot-swap system can weigh up to 77 pounds
(35 kg). If the system contains numerous optional boards
and peripheral devices, it will weigh more. To avoid personal
injury, make sure you have someone help you lift or move
the system.

When you receive your system, inspect the shipping containers prior to
unpacking. If the shipping boxes are damaged, note the damage, and if possible,
photograph it for reference. After removing the contents of the containers, keep
the cartons and the packing materials. If the contents appear damaged when you
unpack the boxes, file a damage claim with the carrier immediately.

Making Connections

If your system normally operates without a video display or keyboard (for
example, as a network server), you must install a video display and keyboard to
configure the system. You may remove them after running the BIOS Setup
Utility. For information on running the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to Chapter 3
"Configuring Your System" of this User’s Guide.

Refer to the previous figure (Rear Features and Controls) and connect your

Plug the female end of each AC power cord shipped with your system into the
input receptacle on the rear of each power supply shipped with your system.
Plug the male end of the power cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC
or NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC.

If a power cord supplied with the system is not compatible with the AC wall
outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following
criteria.

! The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a

current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.

! The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be

terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.
It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency
acceptable in your region.

! The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an

IEC- type CEE-22 female connector.

! The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.

When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS unit,
confirm that the power control unit is powered OFF. Connecting the power cord
while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.

A power cord is provided for each power supply shipped with
your system. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied
AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.

Using the System

The following subsections describe how to use this server system properly and
safely, including an explanation of the server system power on/off sequences,
what the POST program checks in the server, and how to perform a forced
power shutdown.

When using the server system the following precautions should be observed.

! Do not delete the hard disk partition exclusively provided for

maintenance of the server although it may appear on the operating system
(OS). Deleting the hard disk partition may cause malfunction of the
server.

! Make sure you power off the server before connecting or disconnecting

cables between the server and peripheral devices. Connecting or
disconnecting the cables while the server is powered on may cause
malfunction or failures within the server.

!

WARNING

Setting Up the System 2-5

! Verify that the access lamp on the diskette drive is unlit before turning off

the server or ejecting the floppy disk. Turning off the server or ejecting
the floppy disk while the access lamp is lit may damage data being stored
on the floppy disk.

! After turning off the server, wait at least 40 seconds before turning it on

again. Cycling the power immediately may cause malfunction or failures
of the server.

! Before relocating the server, turn off the power and unplug the power

cord from the outlet. Moving the server when it is powered may cause
malfunction or failures of the server.

! Some software includes a command to eject the CD-ROM tray or a media

in a device mounted in the 5.25-inch device bay. Make sure that the front
door of the tower-based cabinet is open before running the command.
Running this command with the front door closed may cause the CD­ROM tray or the media to hit against the front door, resulting in a
possible failure of the CD-ROM.

! Clean the server regularly. Regular cleaning prevents failures of the

server and its components.

! Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem,

an uninterruptible power supply unit is recommended.

! Only use options qualified for the server. A non-qualified option may be

mounted or connected to the server, but it may fail to operate normally or
even cause failures. These types of failures are not covered under
warranty.

Opening the Front Door of the Tower Cabinet

You must open the front door of the tower cabinet to turn the server power on or
off, place the server in sleep mode, mount or dismount a floppy disk, mount or
dismount a hard disk drive, or mount or dismount 5 1/4-inch removable media
devices.

Note: The standard CD-ROM drive and some options for
the 5 1/4-inch devices such as a CD-ROM drive have a
function to eject a tray or media using a software command.
Before issuing a software command to eject a tray or media,
confirm that the front door is open. If the command is
executed while the front door is closed a tray or media may
run into the front door resulting in an error or may cause the
unit to fail.

2-6 Setting Up the System

Powering On Your System

Power on your system as follows.

1. Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard, and

mouse (optional) have been connected, and the power cords are connected.

2. Power on the video display and any other external devices.

After a few seconds your system begins the internal Power-On Self Tests
(POST). POST automatically checks the system board, CPU(s), memory,
keyboard, mouse, and most installed peripheral devices. POST also displays the
start messages of the BIOS setup utility during execution.

The POST check results should be checked in the following cases:

! When the server is being used for the first time.
! When the server appears to fail.
! When the server beeps many times between power-on and OS start-up.
! When an error message appears on the display unit.

Note: For error messages that appear on the display

unit, refer to subsection POST Error Codes and Messages in
Chapter 5 of this Guide.

!

CAUTION

Always allow POST to complete before powering down your
system.

Configuring Your System

Configuration and setup utilities are used to change your system configuration.
You can configure your system, as well as option boards you may add to your
system, using the BIOS Setup Utility. Several unique system parameters are
configured using the BIOS Setup, which is stored in the system FLASH
memory.

The SCSISelect Utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the system board. Use
this utility if you need to configure the two SCSI controllers in your system or to
perform a SCSI disk format or verify disk operation on the SCSI disk drives.
The Adaptec Configuration Utility is also used to configure any SCSI
removable media devices installed in your system.

If your system has been factory configured, the BIOS Setup or SCSISelect
Utility do not need to be run unless you want to change the password or security
features, add certain types of option boards or devices, or upgrade your system
board.

This chapter also provides information on several system configuration
parameters that are set by jumpers on the system board. However, these
parameters do not usually require change.

Use the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM to create the device driver diskettes.

Configuring the RAID Controller

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Devices) options are available for your
system, providing added security and high availability.

If you order a system with a RAID controller, the system is pre-configured at
the factory according to Table 3-2 below.

drive)

If you want to change the RAID level or add additional hard disks to the array,
use the RAID configuration utility. The RAID configuration utility is included
with the RAID controller.

JBOD (RAID 7) Known as Just a Bunch of Drives,
JBOD allows the controller to access the drives
independently. This configuration has no redundancy
and does not use striping.

Mirroring (RAID 1) Drives are paired and mirrored.
All data is 100% duplicated on an equivalent drive
(fully redundant).

Striping with Parity (RAID 5) Data is striped across
several physical drives. Parity protection is used for
data redundancy.

Striping with Parity (RAID 5) with a standby drive

The array consists of three ON-LINE drives and one
STANDBY drive. The standby replacement drive, or
hot spare, is one of the most important features RAID
provides to achieve automatic, non-stop service with a
high degree of fault-tolerance.

If you are adding the RAID controller to an existing system, the RAID
configuration utility allows you to configure your disk array before reinstalling
your network operating system. The RAID controllers support various versions
of RAID technology (referred to as RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you
must configure the RAID controller using the RAID configuration utility prior
to installing your Network Operating System. For an explanation of this utility,
refer to the documentation that was shipped with the RAID controller. It
describes RAID technology and provides tips on making your array perform
well in your specific application. It also covers array hardware preparation,
configuration, and initialization. After completing the steps in the manual, you
can install your Network Operating System.

If you want to remotely configure the array (from a PC client); increase array
capacity online; or monitor statistics on disk and controller activity, you must
install the array manager provided with your RAID subsystem. Increasing array
capacity is covered in the user's guide shipped with the option.

Hard Disk Drives

Your system supports a variety of SCSI hard disk drives installed in the
system’s hard disk drive bay. Contact your sales representative or dealer for a
list of approved devices.

The 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay on the front of the server contains six slots on
which hard disks can be installed. A hard disk having the thickness of 1 inch can
be installed in each of the slots. The SCSI IDs of the slots are fixed to ID0 to
ID5 from bottom to top.

In the configuration at the shipment, the cable on the 3.5-inch hard disk drive
bay is connected to the Ultra320/160 SCSI (A) connector on the system board.

To provide the disk array configuration, connect the cable on the 3.5-inch hard
disk drive bay to the disk array controller. The SCSI standard of the hard disk
to be added should be the same as that of the existing disks.

A dummy tray is installed in an empty slot of the 3.5-inch hard disk drive bay.
This is intended to improve the cooling effect within the server. Always install
a dummy tray in any slot in which a hard disk is not installed.

IMPORTANT: A specified dummy tray must be used.

Installation

If installing new drives, follow an installation scheme starting with the bottom­most drive. Fill the bays bottom-to-top.

NOTE: Hard disks can be installed or removed from the server only by

opening the front bezel. In the disk array configuration, hard disks may be
installed or removed with the power of the server on.

used to restore data from the defective hard disk drive. The auto rebuild
function can write the data saved from a defective hard disk to the replacement
disk drive thereby recovering the server to the state before the occurrence of the
fault.

The auto rebuild function is valid for disk arrays set to RAID1 or RAID5.
The auto rebuild is automatically started only by the hot-swap of a defective

hard disk (or disk replacement in the power-on state). During the auto rebuild,
the disk lamp on the hard disk is lit green or amber alternatively.

IMPORTANT: Do not turn off the power of the server in

the interval between a fault of a hard disk to the end of the
auto rebuild process.

Wait at least 90 seconds from the time you remove a
defective disk drive to the time you install the replacement
disk drive.

If a hard disk is rebuilding, do not replace another disk. (The
disk lamp on the hard disk being rebuilt is lit green or amber
alternatively.)

Hot-Swap Power Supply

Your server may contain a modular hot-swap power supply like the one shown
in Figure 4-26. The addition of a second hot-swap power supply makes your
system so that it has redundant power and can be operated continuously without
interruption if either of the power supplies malfunction.

Installation

1. Prepare your system for upgrade. See Preparing Your System for

Disassembly and Reassembly describes earlier in this chapter.

2. Loosen a screw securing the blank cover to remove the cover from the

chassis. Remove the cover and save it for future use. See Figure 4-26.

Figure 4-26. Loosening the Blank Cover Retaining Screw

3. Press down the locking tab of the power supply handle and open the handle.

See Figure 4-27.

4. Slide the power supply into the vacant slot until you feel resistance. See

Figure 4-28.

IMPORTANT:

! Make sure that the handle is in full-open position.
! To avoid damaging the power supply unit, do not tilt or twist the unit as

you push it into the connector.

Removal

1. Check the Power Status lamps of the power supplies on the rear face and

determine which module needs to be replaced. (If a power supply is
defective, the Power Status lamp is lit amber.)

NOTE:

the power supplies operates normally (with the power lamp of the power
supply being on), the other defective power supply can be replaced while
the system is in operation (or in the power-on status). In this case, skip
step 2 in this procedure.

When the server is equipped with two power supplies and one of

2. Shut down the system and press the POWER switch to turn off the power.

3. Disconnect the power cord from the failed power supply.

4. While pressing down on the locking tab, grasp the handle and carefully pull

the power supply out of the power supply bay. See Figure 4-32.

IMPORTANT: To avoid damaging the power supply unit, do not tilt or

twist the unit as you pull it from the power supply bay. The module
disengaging from its connector causes the initial resistance you will feel.
Use even, steady force to remove the unit.

5. If you are not going to install a replacement power supply unit, you must

install blank cover in the vacant slot.

IMPORTANT: To maintain the cooling effect in the server, install the

blank cover in the vacant slot of the power supply bay.

6. Install the power supply referring to steps 3 to 8 of the power supply

installation procedure.

Non-Hot-Swap Power Supply

Your server system may contain a single non-hot-swap power supply that is
housed in the rear of the chassis as shown in Figure 4-33.

Removal

1. Prepare your system for disassembly. See Preparing Your System for

Disassembly and Reassembly earlier in this chapter.

2. Remove the left-hand side access panel of the system chassis. See Removing

the Side Access Panel earlier in this chapter.

!

CAUTION

For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the system
with the side access panel removed. Always replace the
panel before powering on the system.

3. Remove all the power cables from the system board, 5.25-inch devices,

diskette drive, and SCSI backplane.

4. Remove and save the nine screws that secure the power supply to the rear of

the chassis. See Figure 4-33.
