Safety Notices

To avoid a risk of injuries, installation should be performed by trained technical personnel.

Your server is equipped with a front stabilizer. Engage the front stabilizer during installation. For stability and to distribute the weight, also attach side stabilizers. Otherwise, the rack may topple over and cause injuries.

If you extend two or more devices from the rack at the same time, the rack may topple over on you. Extend only one device from the rack at a time.

Exercise great care not to hurt your fingers on the rail when you mount/dismount the equipment into/from the rack.

Lithium batteries can be dangerous. Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in an explosion. Dispose of lithium batteries as required by local ordinance. Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery.

The DVD-ROM drive uses a laser beam. Do not look or insert a mirror inside while the system is on. A laser beam is invisible; if your eyes get exposed to it, there is a risk of losing your eyesight.

WARNING

! Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack

assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the room ambient environment. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient temperature of 89.6°F.

! Reduced air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the

amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Ensure that nothing is placed on top of the system cabinet.

! To prevent fires, and damage to rack equipment and supply wiring, make sure that the

rated load of the power branch circuit is not exceeded. Equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern. For more information on installation and wiring of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local power company.

! To prevent electrical shock, connect all rack and rack support equipment to the same

electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to avoid remote earth conditions.

! For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in accordance

with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring standards are regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K. by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

System Overview 1-9

Main Components

The following sections provide information about server components.

Itanium 2 Processors

Depending on system configuration, your system uses Intel Itanium 2 64-bit

1.3-GHz/3-MB or 1.5-GHz/6-MB processors. Four Intel Itanium 2 processors are installed within one Cell Board. See Figure 1-6.

Up to 4 Cell Boards with a total of up to 16 CPUs can be installed in the 16-way server (1160Xd) and up to 8 Cell Boards with a total of up to 32 CPUs can be installed in the 32-way server (1320Xd). All processors installed in your system must be of identical bus and core speed.

System Memory

Each Cell Board in your system contains sixteen 168-pin DIMM sockets on the Cell Board and another sixteen DIMM sockets on the Cell Board daughterboard. See Figure 1-6. Memory DIMMs must be populated four at a time with 1-GB ECC SDRAM DIMMs. Depending on the number and capacity of DIMMs installed, each Cell Board can include from 4 GB up to 32 GB of memory using 1-GB DIMMs.

The 16-way server (1160Xd)supports up to 128 GB of memory using 1-GB DIMMs. The 32-way server (1320Xd) supports up to 256 GB of memory using 1-GB DIMMs.

XBC Board

The XBC Board consists of one Cross-Bar Controller (XBC). You can connect this board with up to 4 Cell Boards to perform data transfer among Cell Boards. In a standard configuration, a 16-way server has 2 XBC Boards and a 32-way server has 4 XBC Boards – however, the system configuration you have might vary.

PCIX Unit

The server’s PCIX Unit expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for high performance I/O by providing 14 hot-swap PCI-X expansion 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 supporting the standard I/O interface and a video VGA controller board are installed in the Core Unit model. The Basic I/O Board and video VGA board are not hot-swappable.

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

function.

1-10 System Overview

Installation of a board in a particular slot and with other boards can determine the actual operating frequency of a board within a bus group. See Chapter 5, “I/O Board Installation” for information about installing a board in a particular slot for optimum operation.

A DVD-ROM drive is installed in the Core Unit as standard equipment. Optionally, a DAT tape drive or USB FDD and up to 6 disk storage hard disk drives may be added to the PCIX Unit. See Figure 1-5.

Service Processor Board

The Service Processor Board (iSP Board) controls power and monitors status of all components (see Figure 1-2 and 1-3). The board uses a PowerPC chip as the processor for iSP, memory, LAN, and serial interface functionality. The Service Processor Board performs initialization of the system, RAS functions, diagnostic functions, and failure management of the system.

The 16-way and 32-way servers each have two Service Processor Boards (one for redundancy).

Clock Boards

The 16-way and 32-way servers each have two Clock Boards for clock generation and distribution. One of the Clock Boards provides redundancy.

Power Bay Unit

Up to 6 Distributed Power Supply Modules can be installed in each Power Bay Unit. Power Bay Units can be installed as follows:

! 16-Way Server – one unit is installed in the main cabinet; two units can be

installed for AC redundancy.

! 32-Way Server – two units are installed in the main cabinet; three units can be

installed for AC redundancy.

! I/O Expansion Cabinet – one unit is installed in the cabinet; two units can be

installed for AC redundancy.

System Overview 1-11

System Functions

The following subsections describe select system functions.

Partitioning

The Express5800/1000 series server can run more than one operating system or instances of an operating system in the same main cabinet. For example, a configuration containing 4 Cell Boards (Cells hereafter), Cell #0, Cell #1, Cell #2, and Cell #3, can operate as follows:

! Cell #0 and Cell #1can operate under the same operating system #0 as an SMP

(symmetric multi processor) configuration.

! Cell #2 can operate under operating system #1, which is different from Cell #0,

Cell #1, and Cell #3.

! Similarly, Cell #3 can operate under operating system #2, which is different from

Cell #0, Cell #1, and Cell #3.

Here, the Cell group which operates under the same operating system is called a partition. In the example below, Cell #0 and Cell #1 can be Partition #0, Cell #2 can be Partition #1, and Cell #3 can be Partition #2.

Partitioning makes it possible to allocate processor capacity according to workload status, resulting in flexible system operation.

1-12 System Overview

Figure 1-7. Example of Partitioning Cells

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.

Each partition consists of a Cell 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 Cell Boards and the PCIX units can be flexibly assigned to any partition. Even if a failure occurs in a Cell Board, the system can disable the failed Cell Board and reboot the partition by reassigning a spare Cell Board. This feature minimizes partition down time.

The Service Processor manages the partitioning settings and configuration changes. You can change the partition configuration in the main cabinet by using the CC command in the SP command mode (see Chapter 3).

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 Cell 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.

System Overview 1-13

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 5800/1000 series supports automatic reconfiguration of partitions based on the conditions pre-defined in the SystemGlobe/GlobalMaster.

Expansion

SP Console

The service processor (SP) in the Express5800/1000 series server provides the interface for system management and RAS functions. The SP is on the service processor (iSP) 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.

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

Service Processor 3-3

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.

See Figure 3-2 for a diagram of using console modes.

Login and Main Menu

The initial state of a console connected to the service processor is the login wait state with the login prompt displayed. When you enter the login account and password, the iSP Main Menu appears.

The characters you enter for the login account and password are case-sensitive. However, alphabetic characters you enter in the Main Menu are not case-sensitive. For example, the lowercase letter “e” and the uppercase letter “E” are processed the same.

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.

SP Command Prompt

In SP command mode (Normal Mode or Maintenance Mode), one of the following types of command prompt is displayed when you press the ESC key.

Interactive operations for each SP command and prompts for subcommand entry depend on the SP command.

SP Command Reference

The following sections provide detailed information about SP commands. The description for each command lists whether the command can be executed in

Normal or Maintenance mode, whether it can be executed in the master, backup, or undetermined iSP.

For example:

NML MNT m b u

X X X

NML: “X” indicates that the command can be executed in Normal mode. MNT: “X” indicates that the command can be executed in Maintenance mode. m: “X” indicates that the command can be executed in the master iSP. b: “X” indicates that the command can be executed in the backup iSP. u: “X” indicates that the command can be executed in the undetermined (master or

backup) iSP.

In the above example, the command can be executed in both the Normal mode and Maintenance mode only if the iSP is in the master state.

Basically, SP commands and subcommands are not case-sensitive. Any need for casesensitivity (for example, accounts and passwords) is described.

DN (Shut Down System Power)

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.
