Overview

Your server is a highly reliable, high-powered, fault-tolerant, high-capacity, multiprocessing server based on the Intel Xeon™ Processor MP. 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. See Figure 1-1. Your server is housed and available as a rack-mount system. Your server conveniently installs into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet.

Figure 1-1. Express5800/140Rc-4 Server

Your server includes a 3.5-inch diskette drive, a CD-ROM drive, a 3.5-inch hard disk bay, and removable media device bay. The 3.5-inch hard disk bay supports up to five

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 peripheral devices: tape devices, CD-ROM, and hard disk drives.

The combination of superior computing performance, high memory capacity, and integrated I/O provides a high performance environment for the many sophisticated applications available to network servers. The server system is designed for use in applications where advanced technology, high performance, and high levels of reliability and compatibility are expected at all times.

1-2 System Overview

Your server is designed for minimum downtime. To this end, the server includes or has the option to include the following:

! A chassis that supports up to three self-contained power supplies (two are standard

power supplies). An additional power supply can be added to provide redundant power (i.e., the system will continue to operate with a single power supply failure). If optional power system redundancy is installed, the power supply units are then hot-swappable and can be easily installed or removed from the chassis without turning the system power off.

! Fan modules that can be easily installed or removed from the top of the system. The

fan modules contain a total of six fans for effective cooling. An additional fan cools the disk drive bay and each power supply contains a fan.

! Cooling system redundancy where the system will continue to operate in the event of

a fan failure or having cabinet temperatures approaching the threshold limit, the redundant fans will switch to maximum operating speed.

! Up to five SCSI drive bays accessible from the front of the cabinet. ! 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.

! Hardware monitors (temperature and voltage) and software monitors to indicate

failures.

As application requirements increase, you can expand your server system with additional processors, additional memory, add-in boards and peripheral devices.

Your server system features the following major components:

! Up to four high-performance Intel Xeon processors. ! Up to 12GB of DDR200 SDRAM four way interleaved memory. ! Eight full-length PCI expansion slots of which four supports 64-bit hot-plug PCI-X

boards, two support 64-bit non-hot-plug PCI-X boards and two support 32-bit nonhot-plug PCI boards. The hot-plug PCI feature is useable only when operating system support is available.

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

USB, LAN, and video).

! Integrated onboard ATI RAGE XL PCI 64-bit Super Video Graphics Array (SVGA)

controller with 4 MB of video memory.

! Adaptec® AIC7902 SCSI controller providing dual channel Ultra320/160 SCSI

interfaces for the hot swap hard disk drives. This controller also supports Ultra2 and Ultra Wide SE SCSI devices.

System Overview 1-3

! Two Integrated onboard Network Interface Controllers (NIC), an Intel 82550 NIC

that supports 10Base-T and 100Base-TX networks and an Intel 82544 NIC that supports 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T networks.

! Single channel Ultra ATA100 enhanced IDE controller. ! Chassis that holds up to 8 drives; five hot-swap bays for Ultra SCSI hard disk drives;

a 5.25-inch media device bay, a CD-ROM drive installed; and a 3.5-inch diskette drive installed.

! Five hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bays accessible from the front of the chassis.

The drives can be swapped in or out of the system without powering down, if RAID is configured in the system.

A Serial port B connector The serial port B connector is used to connect the server to a device with the

serial interface. The server cannot be directly connected to a leased line through the connector.

IMPORTANT: Only the RJ-45 serial interface cable can be connected to this port. Do not connect any other interface cables such as the Ethernet cable. Doing so could damage the device, your server, or both.

B USB3 connector The USB3 connector allows the server to be connected to a device accepting the

USB interface.

C SLEEP switch Pressing the sleep switch once causes the server to enter into the sleep state

(power saving mode). Pressing the power switch in the sleep state recovers the machine to the normal state. (This function is supported by Windows 2000.)

D UID (Unit ID) switch Pressing the UID switch turns UID lamp (blue) located on the front panel and the

rear panel on and off. The UID lamp located on the rear panel 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 on a rack. E UID lamp (blue) Lights blue when the ID switch is pressed. F RESET switch The reset switch is used to reset the server. G POWER/SLEEP lamp

the POWER/SLEEP lamp goes on and the power is turned on. If you press the

switch again, the power is turned off. The system is forcibly shut down when the

power switch is pressed continuously for four seconds or longer.

Lights green while the server is in successful operation. When any error is

detected, this lamp lights or blinks amber.

Lights green while the server is connected to the network. Blinking green

indicates the network activity. Numbers printed near the lamps indicate the LAN

port number.

Lights green while the internal hard disk is in access. When any one of the

internal hard disks fails, this lamp lights amber.
