Overview

Your server is a modular, multiprocessing server based on the Intel Xeon microprocessor. 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. See Figure 1-1.Your server conveniently installs into a standard EIA 19-inch rack assembly.



Figure 1-1. System Front View

Your server includes a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, six hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays, and a removable media device bay. The hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays support 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 functionality is configured in the system.

Alternately, your server can be configured to include a 7th SCSI hard disk drive. This configuration includes a removable media drive bay and seven hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays. The removable media drive bay may be used for installation of a high-speed tape drive.

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

1-2 System Overview

System Features

Your system features the following major components:

! Single or dual high-performance Intel™ Xeon™ 2.00GHz or 2.80GHz

processors.

! 256 MB to 6 GB of ECC SDRAM two way interleaved memory, using up to six

DIMMs.

! Six PCI expansion slots for add-in boards (three full-length, full height 64-

bit/100MHz PCI-X riser slots and three low profile 64-bit/100MHz riser slots).

! A maximum of seven 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 AIC-7902W SCSI controller providing dual channel Ultra-320 SCSI

interfaces.

! Integrated Network Interface Controller (NIC), a dual channel Intel 82546EB

Gigabit Ethernet LAN controller supporting 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T network systems.

! Dual channel enhanced IDE controller (secondary channel supported only). ! One 3.5-inch removable media expansion bays. ! IDE 24X CD-ROM drive and 3 ½-inch diskette drive. ! Three integrated Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, one located at the front panel

and two located at the rear panel.

! Hardware monitors (temperature, fans, and voltage) and software monitors to

indicate failures.

System Overview 1-3

! Chassis that supports up to two power supply modules. The additional power

supply is needed to provide hot-swappable redundant power (i.e., the system will continue to operate with a single power supply failure). With two power modules installed, one power module can be easily removed or installed from the back of the chassis without turning the system power off.

! Fully lockable front bezel including Server Management software that monitors

the front bezel intrusion switch.

1-4 System Overview

System Chassis

The system chassis (Figure 1-2) is an easy-to-expand, fabricated metal structure. The major system components are shown in the following illustrations.

A SCSI backplane B Power supply unit C Cooling fans D Processor duct (dashed-line) E Riser card (for full-height boards) F Processor (mounted under the CPU and heat sink) G DIMM (Two DIMMs are mounted as standard in slots #1A and #1B.) H Mother board I Riser card (for only low-profile boards) J Front panel board K Cover open sensor L CD-ROM drive M Backup device bay N Floppy disk drive O Flex bays P Disk bays

Figure 1-2. System Chassis

System Overview 1-5

Power Supply

The power supply consists of the power supply bay and one power supply module. A second power supply module can be purchased to provide a redundant, 1+1 system. With either configuration, the power supply provides 500 watts of power and is designed to minimize EMI.

The power subsystem supports implementation of 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 these peripheral bays:

! A removable media front panel bay for mounting a half-height 3.5-inch

peripheral device such as an optional tape drive.

! Depending on your configuration, your server includes either six or seven 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 requires an 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector on the drives that you install.

The flex bay can be used with either the standard CD-ROM/FDD module or a seventh hot swappable SCSI HDD. The CD-ROM/FDD module may only be inserted or removed from the flex bay when system power is turned off. The CD-ROM/FDD module is NOT hot swappable. The standard 3.5-inch diskette drive supports 720 KB and 1.44 MB diskette media.

The chassis includes four 60-mm non-hot-swappable system fans for cooling the processor(s), hard drives, and add-in cards. The system fans are mounted in a fan assembly located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling air through the chassis. The power supply contains a single fan for cooling.

SAF-TE Logic

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.

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

2.00GHz or 2.80GHz 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 six 168-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three 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 6 GB of memory, using up to six 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 three full-length, full height 64-bit/100MHz PCI-X slots (riser slot B) and three low profile 64-bit/100MHz PCI slots (riser slot A).

Riser slot A provides the following features:

! Bus speed up to 100MHz ! 184 pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector ! Support for a 3-slot PCI riser card ! Support for only low profile PCI cards

Riser slot B provides the following features:

! Bus speed up to 100 MHz ! 184 pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector ! Support for a 3-slot PCI riser card ! Support for only full length, full height PCI cards.

1-8 System Overview

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 AIC7902W dual function SCSI controller. The AIC7902W provides Ultra-320 SCSI interfaces as two independent PCI functions. As implemented on the system board, the interface attaches to an Ultra-320 SCSI backplane that supports up to seven Ultra-320 SCA drives.

Network Controller

The system board uses a dual-channel Intel® 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet Controller and supports 10Base-T/100Base-TX/1000Base-T network subsystems.

The 82546EB controller supports the following features:

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

Keyboard and Mouse

The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. The server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered. A Y-cable can be used if both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard are required at the same time.

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.

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.

ACPI

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. ! 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.

1-10 System Overview

Note: The system is Off only when the AC power cord is disconnected.

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

monitoring, and front panel lock/unlock initiation

! Controls Wake On LAN via Magic Packet support.

System Overview 1-11

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.

Note: The degradation feature is only available when at least four

DIMMs or two processors are installed.

Failed DIMMs and processors may be identified by POST displays, or by using the BIOS setup utility (see Chapter 3). They may also be identified on a system that has ESMPRO installed.

AC Link Mode

The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that when the AC input power is lost and then restored the system will return itself to one of three preselected settings, listed as follows:

! Power On ! Last State (Factory Default Setting) ! Stay Off.

The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility (F2). Refer to Chapter 3 "Configuring Your System."

Remote Power-On (Wake ON LAN) Function

The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or modem. If the system power is set to OFF, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main computer to the remote system. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility. See Chapter 3.

1-12 System Overview

System 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 front bezel intrusion switch.

Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

The front bezel contains a mechanical lock and an intrusion switch to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis. The computer chassis includes an intrusion switch on the top cover. When any of these covers are opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server management software processes the signal.

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 120minutes.

! Set and enable an administrative password.

 1 to

! 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. ! Disables access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive. ! Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

Using Passwords

You can set either the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords. If only the user password is set, you:

! Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup. ! Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in

the BIOS Setup.

! Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.

If only the supervisor password is set, you:

! Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup. ! Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is

enabled in the BIOS Setup.

! Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.

System Overview 1-13

If both passwords are set, you:

! May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup. However, you will not be able

! Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup and have

! May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in

! May enter either password to exit secure mode.

Secure Mode

Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the BIOS Setup. When secure mode is in effect:

! You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the

switches.

Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.

1-14 System Overview

Summary of Software Security Features

The Table 1-1 lists the software security features and describes what protection each offers. In general, to enable or set the features listed here, you must run BIOS Setup and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu.

Table 1-1. Software Security Features

Feature Description

Secure mode How to enter secure mode:

Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure mode.

If you set a hot-key combination (through Setup), you can secure the system simply by pressing the key combination. This means you do not have to wait for the inactivity time-out period.

When the system is in secure mode: The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and

keyboard input is not accepted until the user password is entered. At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in

drive A, the system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the server boots from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.

If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server boots from drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode features go into effect at boot time.

To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).

Disable writing to diskette

Set a time out period so that keyboard and mouse input are not accepted.

Also, screen can be blanked, and writes to diskette can be inhibited

Control access to using the BIOS Setup: set supervisor password

In secure mode, the server will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a password is entered.

To write protect access to diskette whether the server is in secure mode or not, use the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.

Specify and enable an inactivity time out period of from 1 to 120 minutes. If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attem pted

keyboard and mouse input will not be accepted. The monitor display will go blank, and the diskette drive will be write

protected (if these security features are enabled through Setup). To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).

To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a supervisor password and enable it through Setup.

If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the supervisor password will allow Setup to be changed.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter 3).

System Overview 1-15

Feature Description

Control access to the system other than BIOS Setup: set user password

Boot without keyboard

Specify the boot sequence

To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through Setup.

To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group.

To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter 4).

The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard if it is present and displays a message.

The sequence that you specify in setup will determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a user password is set), then you will be prompted for a password before the server fully boots. If secure mode is enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.

! Getting Familiar with the System ! Status Indicators ! Using the System

Overview

This chapter describes how to select a site, unpack the system, assemble the rack-mount system unit into a cabinet and install the cable arm assembly. Information on front and rear panel features, switches, and LEDs are also included in this chapter.

Selecting a Site

The system operates reliably in a typical office environment. Choose a site that is:

! Near grounded, three-pronged power outlets.

Note: For the United States and Canada, this means a

NEMA 5-15R outlets for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlets for 200-240 VAC. For other international sites, this means three-pronged power outlets applicable for the electrical code of the region.

Be sure the power service connection is through a properly grounded outlet.

WARNING

CAUTION

When two power supplies are installed in the system the power plug from each of the power supplies must be plugged into the same common ground power outlets.

! Clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Front and rear ventilating openings

kept free of obstructions. Away from sources of heat, vibration or physical shock.

! Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced

by electrical devices (such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices)

! Spacious enough to provide at least ten inches (25 centimeters) in front of

the system and five inches (13 centimeters) behind the system.

! Easily accessible for system maintenance and installation of system

upgrades.

2-2 Setting Up the System

Unpacking the System

WARNING

The system can weigh up to 55 pounds (25kg). 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.

Setting Up the System 2-3

Installing the Server into the Rack

This section provides the instructions for installing your rack-mount server into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet.

Before You Begin

Before you begin, please review the following cautions, warnings, and general guidelines.

WARNING

Be sure that power to the system is turned off and unplugged. All voltage is removed only when the power cords are unplugged.

! Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component

can cause serious damage.

! Do not disconnect or remove parts other than those specified in the

procedure.

! Do not touch I/O connector pins. ! All screws are Phillips-head, unless otherwise specified. ! On completion of any assembly or reassembly, perform a power-on test.

If a fault occurs, verify that the assembly or reassembly was performed correctly. If the problem persists, see "Problem Solving" in Chapter 5.

Static Precautions

An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components.

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.

2-4 Setting Up the System

Preparation

Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the rack-mount server. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the bottom of the rack cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more than 75% filled with components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit.

Your server is mounted on a set of slide rail assemblies that allows it to move freely in and out of the system rack. To mount your server in a rack you must attach two center slide rails on each side of the server chassis and then install two rail assemblies in the rack cabinet. The following sections describe how to assemble the rack-mounting hardware and mount the server in a rack cabinet. Procedures for installing the cable arm assembly onto the rear of your server are also included.

CAUTION

Ensure that the location of the rack-mount server does not create an unstable condition when installed in the rack cabinet.

Note: When planning your system configuration for the

rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables that interconnect system components.

Installation Procedure

Perform the following procedures to install the server into the rack:

Removing the Rail Assemblies

1. The rail assemblies may be shipped already mounted to the sides of the

server. Each rail assembly consists of a stationary rail attached to the server and a removable sliding rail. Following Steps 2 and 3, remove the sliding rails from the server.

Note: The removed rail assemblies are to be installed on the inner

rails later. To install each rail assembly on the correct inner rail, mark each rail as removed. Similarly, when installing more than one server, distinguish between the pairs of inner rails and rail assemblies of the servers by marking the left and right hand rails.

2. Hold the rails and slowly slide them toward the rear of the server until a

"click" is heard. The click indicates that the rails are in the locked position.

3. Push the release levers on the right and left sides of the rails (Figure 2-2, A),

and remove the sliding rail assemblies from the server.

Figure 2-2. Removing the Rail Assemblies from the Server

Note: The inner stationary rails remain screwed to the

server when the rail assemblies have been removed. See Figure 2-3.

Status Indicators

Your server includes many LED status indicators providing you with detailed status of server operation. This section provides detailed descriptions of all server status indicators.

ACT Lamp ( )

The ACT lamp is green 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 "1" on the icon indicates LAN port 1, and the number "2" indicates LAN port 2. The location of this indicator is shown in Figure 2-35, C.

POWER Lamp ( )

The green POWER lamp lights to indicate normal operation while the server is powered. When the server is powered off, the POWER lamp is unlit.

The POWER lamp indicates that the server is running in the power-saving mode (sleep mode). If the OS supports the power-saving mode such as Windows 2000, running a command places the server in a power-saving mode and causes the power lamp to blink. Press the POWER switch to bring the server out of power-save mode.

The power-saving mode is only available when the OS supports the powersaving feature. Some OS's allow you to set the server to automatically enter the power-saving mode when no access is made to the server for a certain period of time or to select the power-saving mode with a command. The location of this indicator is shown in Figure 2-35, D.

STATUS Lamp ( )

The STATUS lamp is green while the server is operating normally. Your server includes this important status lamp on both the front and the rear panels. The location of this indicator on the front panel is shown in Figure 2-35, E. The location of this indicator on the rear panel is shown in Figure 2-37, M. If the STATUS lamp turns amber and/or flashes, it indicates that the server is in an abnormal state.

The Table 2-1 details the STATUS lamp descriptions and the procedures you should follow should the status lamp indicate an abnormal state.

Note: If ESMPRO or the offline maintenance utility is installed, you

can determine the cause of a failure by referring to the error log.

Setting Up the System 2-37

DISK ACCESS Lamp ( )

The DISK ACCESS lamp indicates the status of the hard disks mounted in the

3.5-inch disk bay. The lamp flashes green each time access is made to the hard disks in your system. The location of this indicator is shown in Figure 2-35, F.

When the DISK ACCESS lamp turns amber, it indicates that a hard disk failure has occurred. Check the hard disk lamp located on each hard disk to determine the failing drive.

Note: If a hard disk in the server is connected to a disk array

controller, the access lamp signal cable must be connected from the disk array controller to the system board.

UID Switch and Lamp (UID)

Pressing the UID switch located on the front panel (see Figure 2-35, Y) toggles the front panel UID lamp (blue) and the system board UID lamp on and off. The system board UID lamp is visible through the rear of the chassis and allows you to locate the server you're working on from the rear of the servers in a rack. The location of the rear panel UID lamp is shown in Figure 2-36, N.

Disk Access Lamp

The disk access lamp of the floppy disk drive or CD-ROM drive is on while the drive is accessed.

Hard Disk Lamp

The disk lamp located on each disk in the 3.5-inch disk bay (see Figure 2-38) indicates the following status:

Figure 2-38. Hard Disk Drive Activity Lamp

! Flashing (green) indicates that the hard disk is being accessed. ! On (amber) indicates a failure of the hard disk in the disk array

configuration.

2-38 Setting Up the System

Note: Even if one of the hard disks fails in disk array

configuration (RAID1, RAID5, or RAID0+1), the server can continue operation. However, replace the disk as soon as possible, and perform reconstruction (rebuild) processing. (The failing disk can be replaced in hot swap mode.)

! Flashing switching back and forth between green and amber 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. (Auto-rebuild 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 when the rebuild processing fails.

Note: 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 the rebuild processing again. Observe the following notes on using the auto-rebuild function:

Do not turn the power off. (Once the power is turned off, the auto-build function does not start.)

Let 90 seconds or more pass between dismounting a failing hard disk and when mounting a 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. See Figure 2-37, Q, R, T, and V for the locations of the LAN connector lamps.

LINK/ACT Lamps

Each LINK/ACT lamp indicates the status of the standard network port of the server. While power is supplied to the server and HUB and the connection is correct, the lamp is on green. (LINK) The lamp turns green and flashes while the network port is transmitting/receiving data. (ACT)

Speed lamp

This lamp indicates whether the network port is operating through a 1000BASET, 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T network interface. If the lamp is lit amber, the network port is operating through 1000BASE-T. If the lamp is lit green, the network port is operating through 100BASE-TX. If the lamp is off, the network port is operating through 10BASE-T.

Setting Up the System 2-39

POST Lamp

Four lamps indicating the POST progress are located on the system board. They are visible through the slits on the rear panel of the server. If POST does not complete, the screen displays an error message, or you hear beeps, note the beep pattern and contact your service representative. The location of POST lamps is shown in Figure 2-37, P.

AC POWER Lamp

The AC POWER lamp is located on the rear of each power supply. See Figure 2-37, K. The lamp turns green and flashes when the power supply unit receives AC power from the power cord, which is connected to an AC outlet.

The lamp turns green when the server power switch is turned on. If the lamp does not go on when the server power switch is turned on or if it turns or blinks amber, the power supply unit is probably faulty. In this case, contact your service representative to replace the power supply unit.

2-40 Setting Up the System

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.

! 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 media

in a device mounted in the 3.5-inch device bay. Make sure that the front bezel is removed before running the command. Running this command with the front bezel attached may cause the CD-ROM tray or the media to hit against the front bezel, resulting in a possible failure.

! 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.

Setting Up the System 2-41

Front Bezel

POST

IMPORTANT:

! If the power cord is connected to a power control device such as

a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply), make sure that the power control device is powered.

! The server management logic on your system board monitors

and logs system voltage changes. When plugging the power cord to the system, you may experience a 10 second delay from the time you press the POWER switch on the front panel to the time the unit powers up. This is normal system operation and is required by the server management logic.

! Do not turn off the server until characters following logo screen

appear.

POST (Power-On Self-Test) is the server's self-diagnostic program stored in the system BIOS.

When you power on the server, the system automatically runs POST to check the mother board, ECC memory module, CPU module, keyboard, and mouse. POST also displays messages of the BIOS SETUP utility, such as the start-up message, while in progress.

With the factory setup of the server, the logo screen appears on the display unit while POST is in progress. (To display the POST check results, press Esc.)

Note: You can set the POST check results to appear on the display

unit without pressing Esc. To do so, select "Enabled" for "Boot-time Diagnostic Screen" under the Advanced menu of the BIOS SETUP utility.

You don't always need to check the POST check results. Check messages that POST displays when:

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

2-44 Setting Up the System

POST Execution Flow

The following describes the progress of POST in chronological order.

IMPORTANT:

! Do not make key entries or perform mouse operations while

POST is in progress.

! Some system configurations may display the message "Press

Any Key" to prompt a key entry. This message is driven by BIOS of an installed optional board. Make sure to read the manual that comes with the optional board before any key entry.

! Powering on the server, after you installed or removed an

optional PCI board or moved it to another slot, may display the massage that indicates incorrect board configuration and suspend POST. In such a case, press F1 to continue POST. Board configuration can be made using the utility described later.

1. After a few seconds from power-on, POST starts checking the memory. The

count message of the basic and expansion memory appears on the display unit screen. The memory check may take a few minutes to complete depending on the memory size of the server. Also, it may take approximately one minute for the display to appear after rebooting the server.

2. Some messages appear upon completion of the memory check. These

messages indicate that the system has detected the CPU, keyboard, and mouse.

3. After a few seconds, POST displays the following message prompting you

to launch the setup utility, stored in the BIOS of the server. This message appears at bottom left on the screen.

Press <F2> to enter SETUP, Press <F12> to Network

Launch the BIOS SETUP utility when you need to change the settings to meet the requirements for the server. As long as the above message is not displayed with an error message, you don't have to launch the utility. (Ignore the message. POST will automatically proceed.)

To launch the SETUP utility, press F2 while the above message is displayed. See Chapter 4 for setup and parameters.

The server automatically restarts POST when you exit the SETUP utility. Press F12 to start the operating system from the network.

Setting Up the System 2-45

5. POST then detects the internal SCSI controller and displays the message

prompting you to launch the SCSI device utility. (Ignore the message. POST will automatically proceed a few seconds later.)

Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect(TM) Utility!

To launch the SCSI device utility, press Ctrl and A. See Chapter 3 for setup and parameters.

You need to use the SCSI device utility when:

 you installed an SCSI device in a backup device bay.  you connected an external SCSI device.  you changed internal SCSI device connections of the server.

The server automatically restarts POST all over again when you exit the SCSI device utility.

If more than one SCSI controller is installed on the PCI bus of the server, the system detects the boot devices in order of the PCI slots 1B → 2B → 3B → 1C → 2C → 3C. The system starts detecting the slots in each PCI riser card in ascending order of the slot numbers, and displays the message indicating activation of the SCSI BIOS SETUP utility.

The RAID controller must be installed in the PCI slot that has the highest boot priority.

6. POST displays SCSI ID numbers used by the connected SCSI devices on the

screen.

7. If an optional disk array controller is installed, the system displays the

message prompting you to activate the disk array BIOS SETUP utility. (The start message and operation may vary depending on the mounted board.)

For details, see the manual provided with the board or the online document in the EXPRESSBUILDER CD-ROM provided with the server.

8. If you set a password using the BIOS setup utility, the password entry screen

appears upon successful completion of POST. Up to three password entries will be accepted. Three incorrect password

entries disable the server from booting. In this case, turn off the power and wait at least 30 seconds before turning the power on again.

Note: Do not set a password before installing an operating

system (OS).

9. The OS starts when POST completes.

2-46 Setting Up the System

POST Error Messages
