server. It includes names and functions of the components and features of the server.
1-2 System Overview
OVERVIEW
Your server is a modular multiprocessing server based on the Intel Pentium® III
microprocessors. 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
as file and print services, e-mail, web access, web site server, etc.
Your server is a rack-mount system that conveniently installs into a standard EIA 19-inch rack
assembly.
Your server includes a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive and three hot-swap SCSI hard
disk drive bays. The hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays support up to three 1.0-inch SCSI hard
disk drives that can be swapped in or out of the system without powering it down, if RAID
functionality is configured in the system.
As application requirements increase, you can expand your server with an additional processor,
additional memory, add-in boards, and hard disk drives.

STATUS INDICATORS
This section describes the server status indicators.
POWER Lamp ( )
The POWER lamp is lit (green) while the server power is on. It is off when no power is being
supplied to the server.
NOTE:
This server does not support power saving mode.
STATUS Lamp ( )
The STATUS lamp is lit (green) while the server is operating normally. (There is a STATUS
lamp located on both the front and rear panels of the server.) If the STATUS lamp is off or turns
amber color and flashes, it indicates that the server is in an abnormal state.
The table below lists and describes the STATUS lamp indications and any actions to be taken.
NOTES:
!
If ESMPRO or the offline maintenance utility is installed, you can
determine the cause of a failure by referring to the error log.
!
The system can be restarted automatically. However, if the automatic
restart cannot be performed for any reason, then the system must be
shutdown manually by turning the power off and back on.

System Overview 1-11
DISK ACCESS Lamp ( )
The DISK ACCESS lamp indicates the status of the hard disk mounted in the 3.5-inch device
bay.
The lamp turns green each time access is made to the hard disk.
When the DISK ACCESS lamp turns amber color, it indicates that a hard disk failure has
occurred. Check the hard disk lamp for the status of the failing hard disk.
When the DISK ACCESS lamp flashes between green and amber or if the lamp turns amber and
flashes, it indicates that rebuild (reconstruction) processing is being performed for a hard disk
connected to the internal disk array controller.
IMPORTANT:
If a hard disk in the server is connected to the internal disk
array controller, the access lamp signal cable (provided with the server)
must be connected from the disk array controller to the system board.
ACT Lamp ( )
The ACT lamp is a green color while the server is connected to the LAN. The lamp flashes while
the server is accessed via the LAN (during transmission/reception of packets). The number next
to the icon indicates the network port number on the rear panel of the server.
Disk Access Lamp
The disk access lamp on the floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive is lit while the drive is accessed.
1-12 System Overview
Hard Disk Lamp
The disk lamp mounted in the 3.5-inch device bay indicates the following status:
Lamp
!
Flashing (green)
Lamp indicates that the hard disk is being accessed.
!
Lit (amber)
Lamp indicates a failure of a hard disk mounted in a disk array configuration.
NOTE:
Even if one of the hard disks fails in disk array configuration
(RAID1, RAID5, or RAID0+1), the server can continue operation.
However, the disk must be replaced as soon as possible, and
reconstruction (rebuild) processing must be performed. (The failing disk
can be replaced in hot swap mode.)
!
Flashing between green and amber
The lamp indicates that reconstruction (rebuild) processing is being performed for the
hard disk. (This flashing does not indicate a failure.) When a failing hard disk is
replaced in disk array configuration, the system automatically rebuilds the data. (Autorebuild function) The lamp switches back and forth between green and amber during
rebuild processing.
The lamp goes off when the rebuild processing has terminated. It turns amber color
when the rebuild processing fails.
System Overview 1-13
IMPORTANT:
If the server is turned off during rebuild processing, the
processing is stopped. Restart the server, mount the new hard disk in hot
swap mode, and then perform rebuild processing again. When using the
auto-rebuild function observe the following:
!
Do not turn the power off. (Once the power is turned off, the autobuild function does not start.)
!
Let 90 seconds or more pass between when dismounting a failing hard
disk and when mounting the new one.
!
Do not replace a failing hard disk while rebuild processing is being
performed for another hard disk.
LAN Connector Lamps
There are two lamps for each of the two LAN ports (connectors) on the rear panel.
Speed lampsLINK/ACT lamps
!
LINK/ACT lamps
Each LINK/ACT lamp indicates the status of its network port. While power is supplied
to the server and HUB and the connection is correct (LINK), the lamp is lit (green). The
lamp turns green and flashes while the network port is transmitting/receiving data (ACT).
If the lamp does not light in the LINK state, check if the network cable is connected
correctly. If the lamp still does not light when everything looks normal, the network
(LAN) controller may be faulty. In this case, contact your service representative.
!
Speed lamps
Each Speed lamp indicates that the communication mode of the standard network port of
the server is activated with the network interface of 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T. When
the lamp is lit (amber), it indicates that the communication mode is activated with
100BASE-TX. When it is off, it indicates that the communication mode is activated with
10BASE-T.

System Overview 1-15
Power Supply
The power supply is rated for 250 watts of power.
The power subsystem supports the remote management features, including remote enable that
permits power to be activated from a variety of sources.
Peripheral Bays
Your server supports a variety of standard PC AT-compatible peripheral devices. The chassis
includes the following peripheral bays:
!
A 3.5-inch front panel bay for mounting the standard 3.5-inch diskette drive (supports
720 KB and 1.44 MB diskette media)
!
A standard CD-ROM drive bay
!
Three hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays for mounting hard disk drives installed in
easily removable drive carriers.
NOTE: The hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays contain a hot-swap back
plane that require an 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector
on the drives that you install.
System Cooling
The chassis includes a non-hot-swappable fan module with five fans for cooling the processor(s),
hard drives, and PCI cards. The fan system is located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling
air through the chassis. The power supply contains two built-in fans for cooling.
1-16 System Overview
SAF-TE LOGIC
NOTE: SAF-TE Logic is in systems that include the hot-swap SCSI disk
drive cage. SAF-TE Logic is not available in systems that include the
standard SCSI disk drive cage.
The SCSI backplane includes SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant Enclosure) logic that
provides an interface to the disk subsystem that supports status signals, hot swapping drives, and
enclosure monitoring.
The transport mechanism for the standardized alert detection and status reporting is the SCSI bus.
Disk drives, power supplies, cooling fans, and temperature are continually monitored and the
conditions then reported over the SCSI bus to the system. When used with RAID management
software the user can be alerted of impending or imminent disk conditions requiring attention.
This allows the user to react to conditions that could normally go unnoticed until data loss.
SYSTEM BOARD FEATURES
The following subsections describe the major components of the system board. See "System
Board" earlier in this chapter.
Processor
The system board accommodates one or two Intel Pentium III processors with 512k cache in the
FC-PGA2 package. This processor uses the .13 micron technology and offers advanced
performance. The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 133 MHz.
Memory
The system board contains six 168-pin DIMM sockets each supporting 72-bit ECC (64-bit main
memory plus ECC) registered SDRAM DIMMs (PC-133 compatible). Memory is two-way
interleaved and partitioned in three banks. You may install a minimum of 256 MB (128MB × 2)
and as much as 6 GB.
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the
type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs and reports memory size and allocation to the server
via configuration registers.
NOTE:
board.
Contact your service representative or dealer for a current list of approved
memory modules.
