Chapter 2

Server Installation

2-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) up and running. Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details on installing speciﬁ c components.

2-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should ﬁ le a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R). It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic ﬁ elds are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in the next section.

2-3 Preparing for Setup

The box the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

2-1

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

Choosing a Setup Location

- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches).

- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufﬁ cient airﬂ ow and ease in servicing.

-This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).

-This product is not suitable for use with visual display work place devices acccording to §2 of the the German Ordinance for Work with Visual Display Units.

Warnings and Precautions!

Rack Precautions

- Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the ﬂ oor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.

- In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.

- In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.

- Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the rack.

- You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simultaneously may cause the rack to become unstable.

Server Precautions

- Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.

- Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the rails.

- Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack ﬁ rst, and then

work up.

- Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a power failure.

Allow the hot plug SAS drives and power supply units to cool before touch-

ing them.

Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers

closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

2-2

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Rack Mounting Considerations

Ambient Operating Temperature

If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).

Reduced Airﬂ ow

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airﬂ ow required for safe operation is not compromised.

Mechanical Loading

Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.

Circuit Overloading

Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

Reliable Ground

A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B3/6025B-3R) into a rack unit. If the S120R-2 has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the

rack unit you are using.

Installing the Chassis Rails

You should have received four rack sections with the S120R-2 consisting of two long and two short rails sections. These secure directly to the chassis. All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in the hardware kit.

Position the chassis rail sections alongside of the chassis making sure the screw holes line up - the long sections to the front of the chassis and the sorter ones to the rear. Note that these rails are left/right speciﬁ c. Screw the rails securely to the chassis (see Figure 2-1). There should be two screws for each section. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: The chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The ﬁ rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly , these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

2-4

Chapter 2: Server Installation

Figure 2-1. Installing Chassis Rails

Installing the Server into the Rack

The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-2.

When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

Figure 2-2. Installing the Server into a Rack

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

To install the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

2-6

Chapter 2: Server Installation

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup

After you install the S120R-2 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.

1. Accessing the inside of the System (see Figure 2-3) First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.

2. Check the CPUs (processors) You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor and heatsink installation.

3. Check the system memory Y our S120R-2 server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system memory, refer to Chapter 5.

4. Installing add-on cards If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details on installing PCI add-on cards.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup

Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the Serial ATA or drives have been properly installed and all connections have been made.

1. Accessing the drive bays All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the DVD-ROM and ﬂ oppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SAS disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without removing the top chassis cover.

2. DVD-ROM and ﬂ oppy disk drives

A slim DVD-ROM and a ﬂ oppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a DVD-ROM and/or ﬂ oppy disk drive to the system.

3. Check the SAS drives Depending upon your system's conﬁ guration, your system may have one or more drives already installed. If you need to install SAS drives, please refer to Chapter

4. Check the airﬂ ow Airﬂ ow is provided by three 8-cm center chassis cooling fans. The system compo- nent layout was carefully designed to direct sufﬁ cient cooling airﬂ ow to the compo- nents that generate the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such a way that they do not block the airﬂ ow generated by the fans.

5. Supplying power to the system The last thing you must do is to provide input power to the system. Plug the power cord(s) from the power supply module(s) into a high-quality power strip that offers protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

3-3 Control Panel LEDs

The control panel located on the front of the chassis has several LEDs. These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any corrective action you may need to take.

 Power Fail: (6025B-3R only) Indicates a power supply module has failed. The second power supply module will take the load and keep the system running but the failed module will need to be replaced. Refer to Chapter 6 for details on replacing power modules. This LED should be off when the system is operating normally.

 Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED ﬂ ashes, it indicates a fan failure. When on continuously it indicates an overheat condition, which may be caused by cables obstructing the airﬂ ow in the system or the ambient room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are installed properly (see Chapter

5). This LED will remain ﬂ ashing or on as long as the indicated condition exists.

 NIC1: Indicates network activity on the JLAN1 port when ﬂ ashing.

 NIC2: Indicates network activity on the JLAN2 port when ﬂ ashing.

Chapter 3: System Interface

 HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the Series3800/SR120-2 (6025B- TR+/6025B-8R+), this LED indicates SAS and/or DVD-ROM drive activity when ﬂ ashing.

 Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply module(s). This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

3-4 SAS Drive Carrier LEDs

Each SAS dr ive car ri er has t wo LEDs.

 Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SAS drive car-

rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SAS backplane enables this LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.

 Red: The red LED indicates two states. When blinking, it indicates the drive

is rebuilding. When solid, it indicates a drive failure. If a SAS drive fails, you should be notiﬁ ed by your system management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed SAS drives.

System Safety

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions

Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from harm and the Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) from damage:

z Be aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as

the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power from the system.

z Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.

z Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or

installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory modules and the DVD-ROM and ﬂ oppy drives. When disconnecting power, you should ﬁ rst power down the system with the operating system and then unplug the power cords of all the power supply units in the system.

z When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is

familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power if necessary.

z Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This

is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock. Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.

z Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection

from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been speciﬁ cally designed as electrical insulators.

z The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be

4-1

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

z Serverboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard

battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure 4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

z DVD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with

a DVD-ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any unconventional way.

z Mainboard replaceable soldered-in fuses: Self-resetting PTC (Positive

T emperature Coefﬁ cient) fuses on the mainboard must be replaced by trained service technicians only. The new fuse must be the same or equivalent as the one replaced. Contact technical support for details and support.

4-2 General Safety Precautions

Follow these rules to ensure general safety:

z Keep the area around the S120R-2 clean and free of clutter.

z The S120R-2 weighs approximately 53/55 lbs (24.1/25 kg.) when fully loaded.

When lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your legs. Don't use the handles (if installed) to lift the chassis; the handles should only be used to pull the server out of the rack.

z Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been

removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally be stepped on.

z While working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and

unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits or be pulled into a cooling fan.

z Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal

4-2

Chapter 4: System Safety

conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.

z After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure

it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections have been made.

4-3 ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

z Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

z Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic

bags until ready for use.

z Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag.

z Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

z Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.

z When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

z Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when

not in use.

z For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

5-2 Processor and Heatsink Installation

When handling the processor, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the serverboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up.

IMPORTANT! Always c on nec t t he p ower c o rd la st an d re move it ﬁ rst before add- ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the pro cessor i nto the CPU soc ket before you install the he atsink and fan. T he X7DB3 can suppor t either o n e or two Xeo n 5000/5100 type processor s . If instal ling one pr oce ssor o nly, install it i nto CPU so cket #1.

Notes:

1. Intel's boxed Xeon CPU package contains a CPU fan and heatsink assembly. If you buy a CPU separately, make sure that you use only Intel-certiﬁ ed multi-direc- tional heatsinks and fans.

2. When purchasing a Xeon 50 00/5100 CPU or when receiving a serverboard with a CPU pre-installed, make sure that the CPU plastic cap is in place and none of the CPU pins are bent; otherwise, contact the retailer immediately.

Installing the Processor

1. A black PnP cap is attached to the load plate to protect the CPU socket. Press the load lever down and away from the retention clasp to release the load plate from its locked position.

2. Gently lift the load lever to open the load plate.

Advanced Chassis Setup

This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform maintenance on the SC825TQ-560LP/SC825TQ-R700LP chassis. For component installation, follow the steps in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the step that follows.

Tools Required

The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a Philips screwdriver.

6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic com ponents. To prevent damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very carefully . The following measures are generally sufﬁ cient to protect your equipment from ESD damage.

Precautions

 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.  Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic

bag.

 Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,

memory modules or gold contacts.

 When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.  Put the motherboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags

when not in use.

 For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent

conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the serverboard.

Unpacking

The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6-3 System Fans

Three 8-cm fans provide all the cooling needed for the Series3800/SR120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R). It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed and making a good seal in order for the cooling air to circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components. See Figure 6-2.

System Fan Failure

Fan speed is controlled by system temperature via a BIOS setting. If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan fail LED on the control panel will ﬂ ash. Replace any failed fan at your earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover (see instructions in Chapter 2) while the system is still running to determine which of the fans has failed.

The hot-plug fan will start to function upon connection to its fan header on the serverboard.

Replacing System Fans

1. Removing a fan

Remove the chassis cover. Press the tabs on the top of the fan housing and remove the fan in its housing (see Figure 6-2). System power does not need to be shut down since the fans are all hot-pluggable.

2. Installing a new fan Replace the failed fan with an identical 8-cm, 12 volt fan (p/n FAN-0070). Position the new fan at its proper place in the chassis by ﬁ tting the fan with its housing onto the fan mounts in the chassis. A "click" can be heard if the fan (in its housing) is properly installed. If the system power is on, the hot-plug feature will cause the fan to start immediately upon being connected to its header on the serverboard.

SAS Drive Installation

1. Mounting a SAS drive in a drive carrier

The SAS drives are mounted in drive carriers to simplify their installation and removal from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airﬂ ow for the drives. For this reason, even empty carriers without SAS drives installed must remain in the chassis. To add a new SAS drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-3.

Figure 6-3. Mounting a SAS Drive in a Carrier

Use caution when working around the SAS backplane. Do not touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which aid in proper airﬂ ow.

Important: Regardless of how many SAS hard drives are installed, all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper airﬂ ow.

6-5

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SAS drives

The SAS drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the handle fully out and use it to pull the unit straight out (see Figure 6-4).

Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug capability of the SAS drives.

Figure 6-4. Removing a SAS Drive Carrier

Important: All of the SAS drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper cooling airﬂ ow.

Hard Drive Backplane

The SAS drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termination. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security. The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap capability of the SAS drives.

6-6

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

Installing Components in the 5.25" Drive Bays

Two 5.25" drive bays are located in the front of the chassis. Drives installed here are not connected to the SAS backplane and are not hot-swappable, meaning system power must be turned off before installing and/or removing them.

To remove the drive carrier, ﬁ rst power down the system and then remove the top cover of the chassis. Unscrew the retention screw at the top center of the drive, then push the drive carrier out from the back until you can grasp and pull it out through the front of the chassis. Attach the component to the carrier if installing. Then reverse the drive carrier removal procedure to install the drive, making sure you screw in the retention screw. Replace the top cover when ﬁ nished.

DVD-ROM Installation

The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the DVD-ROM drive bay. The 6025B-3/6025B-3R accomodates only slim type DVD-ROM drives. Side mounting brakets are typically needed to mount a slim DVD-ROM drive in the 6025B-3/6025B-3R server.

First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server. You must power down the system before installing or removing a DVD-ROM drive.

Drives mount on rails and should "click" into place to be correctly and fully installed in their bays. A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.

6-5 Power Supply

6025B-3

The Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3) has a single 560 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100v - 240v input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If the power supply module fails, the system will shut down and you will need to replace the module. As the power supply module in the 6025B-3 is not cold-swappable, you will need to remove the chassis cover and disconnect all power cables from the power supply unit before removing and replacing the power supply.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

1. Removing the power supply

First unplug the power cord from the power supply module. Remove the cover from the chassis and disconnect all power cables from the motherboard and any components. Then remove the screws that secure the power module to the chassis. Finally, pull the module straight out by the handle.

2. Installing a new power supply

Replace the failed power supply with an identical power supply module (p/n PWS561-1H). Reconnect all power cables from the power supply to the motherboard and components. Replace the chassis cover and reconnect the AC power cord. Finish by depressing the power button on the chassis front control panel to restart the system. has a single 550 watt power supply, which is auto-switching capable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate with a 100v - 240v input voltage.

6-8

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup

6025B-3R

The Series3800/120R-2 (6025B-3R) has a 700 watt redundant power supply consisting of two power modules. Each power supply module has an auto-switching capability, which enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100V - 240V input voltage.

Power Supply Failure

If either of the two power supply modules fail, the other module will take the full load and allow the system to continue operation without interruption. The PWR Fail LED will illuminate and remain on until the failed unit has been replaced. The power supply units have a hot-swap capability, meaning you can replace the failed unit without powering down the system.

Removing/Replacing the Power Supply

You do not need to shut down the system to replace a power supply unit. The backup power supply module will keep the system up and running while you replace the failed hot-swap unit. Replace with the same model.

1. Removing the power supply First unplug the power cord from the failed power supply module. Then depress the locking tab on the power supply module and use the handle to pull it straight out with the rounded handle.

2. Installing a new power supply Replace the failed hot-swap unit with another identical power supply unit (p/n PWS-702A-1R). Simply push the new power supply unit into the power bay until you hear a click. Secure the locking tab on the unit and ﬁ nish by plugging the AC power cord back into the unit.

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the X7DB3. The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a ﬂ ash chip and can be easily upgraded using a ﬂ oppy disk-based program.

Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual.

System BIOS

The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT®, and

PS/2

compatible computers. The Phoenix BIOS stores the system parameters, types of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the CMOS. The CMOS memory requires very little electrical power. When the computer is turned off, a backup battery provides power to the CMOS Logic, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time the computer is powered on the computer is conﬁ gured with the values stored in the CMOS Logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.

How To Change the Conﬁ guration Data

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing the <Delete> key at the appropriate time during system boot. (See below.)

Starting the Setup Utility

Normally , the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the <Delete> key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the Security and Power menus. Beginning with Section 7-3, detailed descriptions are given for each parameter setting in the Setup utility.

Warning: Do not shut down or reset the system while updating BIOS to prevent possible boot failure.

BIOS POST Messages

During the Power-On Self-Test (POST), the BIOS will check for problems. If a problem is found, the BIOS will activate an alarm or display a message. The following is a list of such BIOS messages.

Failure Fixed Disk

Fixed disk is not working or not conﬁ gured properly. Check to see if ﬁ xed disk is at- tached properly. Run Setup. Find out if the ﬁ xed-disk type is correctly identiﬁ ed.

Stuck key

Stuck key on keyboard.

Keyboard error

Keyboard not working.

Keyboard Controller Failed

Keyboard controller failed test. May require replacing keyboard controller.

Keyboard locked - Unlock key switch

Unlock the system to proceed.

Monitor type does not match CMOS - Run SETUP

Monitor type not correctly identiﬁ ed in Setup

Shadow Ram Failed at offset: nnnn

Shadow RAM failed at offset nnnn of the 64k block at which the error was detected.

System RAM Failed at offset: nnnn

System RAM failed at offset nnnn of in the 64k block at which the error was detected.

Extended RAM Failed at offset: nnnn Extended memory not working or not conﬁ gured properly at offset nnnn.

Series3800/S120R-2 (6025B-3/6025B-3R) User's Manual

System CMOS checksum bad - Default conﬁ guration used

System CMOS has been corrupted or modiﬁ ed incorrectly, perhaps by an application program that changes data stored in CMOS. The BIOS installed Default Setup V alues. If you do not want these values, enter Setup and enter your own values. If the error persists, check the system battery or contact your dealer.

System timer error

The timer test failed. Requires repair of system board.

Real time clock error Real-Time Clock fails BIOS hardware test. May require board repair.

Check date and time settings

BIOS found date or time out of range and reset the Real-Time Clock. May require setting legal date (1991-2099).

Previous boot incomplete - Default conﬁ guration used

Previous POST did not complete successfully. POST loads default values and offers to run Setup. If the failure was caused by incorrect values and they are not corrected, the next boot will likely fail. On systems with control of wait states, improper Setup settings can also terminate POST and cause this error on the next boot. Run Setup and verify that the waitstate conﬁ guration is correct. This error is cleared the next time the system is booted.

Memory Size found by POST differed from CMOS

Memory size found by POST differed from CMOS.

Diskette drive A error Diskette drive B error

Drive A: or B: is present but fails the BIOS POST diskette tests. Check to see that the drive is deﬁ ned with the proper diskette type in Setup and that the diskette drive is attached correctly.

Incorrect Drive A type - run SETUP

Type of ﬂ oppy drive A: not correctly identiﬁ ed in Setup.

Incorrect Drive B type - run SETUP

Type of ﬂ oppy drive B: not correctly identiﬁ ed in Setup.
