Using Memory RAS Features

The server has RAS feature including "Standard (independent) memory feature (x4 SDDC ECC memory)", "Memory mirroring feature", "Memory LockStep feature (x8 SDDC ECC memory)", and Memory Sparing feature. SDDC (Single Device Data Correction) allows automatic correction of memory error (multi-bit error).

Note

• To use the Memory Mirroring feature or Memory LockStep (x8 SDDC ECC memory) feature, additional memory board (N8102-493/494/495/496) is required.

• To use the Memory Sparing feature, additional m emory board (N8102-497/498) is required.

• To use Standard (Independent) mem ory feature (x4 SDDC), additional m em ory board (N8102-489/490/491/492) is required.

The memory area on the motherboard of the server is divided into three memory channels as shown in the figure below.

The memory mirroring and LockStep features keep memory redundancy between memory two channels by monitoring or altering memory active/inactive status, respectively.

(1) Memory Mirroring Feature

The memory mirroring feature writes the same data into two groups of DIMMs corresponding with each other between memory channels (channels 2 and 3) to provide data redundancy.

Important

• The memory mirroring feature uses channels 2 and 3. In memory mirroring configuration, the memory channel 1 of each CPU (CPU1-DIMM1/4, CPU2-DIMM1/4) is disabled.

• To use the Memory Mirroring feature, additional memory board (N8102-493/494/495/496), equipped with two DIMMs of same model, is required.

Tips

The operating system only recognizes a half of the total physical capacity.

The memory mirroring feature can be used under the following conditions:

• Install DIMMs in two DIMM sockets configuring a mirror set.

• All the installed DIMMs should have the same capacity.

• Run SETUP (refer to Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide"), change parameters

appropriately in the [Mirror] menu selected as shown below, save the settings and exit from SETUP. [Advanced] – [Memory Configuration] – [Memory RAS Mode] – [Mirror] Run SETUP again, and check if the status of additionally installed DIMMs shows "Mirror".

• Installation order depends on CPU configuration. See the figure below.

The mirroring cannot be configured in the following case:

PCI Card

The server provides two types of riser cards where you can install a PCI card and a riser card dedicated to RAID Controller. The riser cards can have three full-height PCI card, two low-profile PCI card, and one RAID Controller card (six PCI cards can be installed in total).

Important

You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details, refer to Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).

Notes

Read the following notes when installing or removing a PCI card.

• Do not touch the terminals of the riser cards and the leads of electronic components with your bare hand. Fingerprints and dust left on them cause the server to malfunction due to a connection failure or damage to the leads.

• Available type of PCI card depends on riser card. Make sure the card type before connecting it to riser card.

• The server provides no connector to connect a LED connector which is supplied in RAID Controller used to indicate disk access.

• PCI slot number "1A" is assigned to the RAID controller-dedicated slot . “1B”,”2B”,”1C",”2C” is assigned to the riser card for low-profile PCI cards The “3B” is assigned to the riser card for full height PCI card.

• The PCI devices of the same type (including onboard PCI device) may be recognized in different order from that described above, depending on OS or RAID System BIOS utility. Check the slot location of PCI device by PCI bus number, device number and function number shown in Chapter4 Appendix 2 PCI Configuration.

• Before removing the top cover, be sure to disconnect cables from PCI card such as LAN adapter . If not, cables may be damaged.

• If an additional LAN card is installed, it is hard to push the catch of the cable connector with your finger that is connected to the LAN card. Disconnect the connector pushing t he cat ch with a standard screwdriver. At this time, be very careful for the screwdriver not to damage the LAN card or other cards.

• Set Disabled for the optional ROM of a LAN device not to be booted by using the BIOS Setup utility.

• If a bootable device such as a PCI card or USB device is added, the boot order may change.

In the BIOS Setup utility, select Hard Drive BBS Priorities from the Boot menu, and then specify a higher priority for the boot device. Boot → Hard Drive BBS Priorities → Check the display If the boot device is an HDD under an optional RAID Controller, the display is (Bus xx Dev 00) PCI RAID Adapter. Note that the value for xx changes depending on the PCI slot where a RAID board is installed.

• For a RAID Controller, LAN card (network boot), or Fibre Channel controller, if no hard disk drive on which an OS is installed is connected, set the option ROM for that slot to Disabled. Refer to Chapter 2 (1. System BIOS) in "Maintenance Guide" for how to specify it.

(1) If an optional RAID Controller (N8103-149/150/151/160) is used

Use of Internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System

This section describes how to use the internal Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System.

Important

Note

Tips

If using internal Hard Disk Drives in RAID System with an optional RAID Controller (N8103-149/150/151/160) installed in the server, the SATA cable needs to be rewired.

For more information, refer to the manual provided with optional RAID Controller.

If you use Hard Disk Drives in the RAID System or change the RAID level, initialize the Hard Disk Drives. If the Hard Disk Drive contains valuable data, be sure to backup the Hard Disk Drive before installing the RAID Controller and configuring the RAID System.

In the RAID System, use Hard Disk Drives that have the same specifications (capacity, rotational speed, and standard) for each Disk Array.

Logical Drives can be created even with only one Physical Device.

Important

Note

Tips

• You must avoid static electricity to work with the procedure below. For details, refer to Chapter 2 (1.2 Anti-static Measures).

• Do not change the mode to hibernate when building a RAID System。

• When installing an optional RAID Controller, st art the BIOS Setup utility, select

PCI Configuration from the Advanced menu, and then make sure that the parameter of PCI Slot xx ROM (xx is PCI slot number) is set to Enabled.

• When connecting a RAID Controller, set the boot priority to 8th or higher in the Boot menu of the BIOS Setup utility. If the setting is 9th or lower, the configuration menu for RAID Controllers cannot be launched.

When using SAS Hard Disk Drives, RAI D Control l er must be connected.
