Many electronic devices, including computers, generate RF energy incidental to their intended function and are, therefore, covered by these rules. These rules place computers and related peripheral devices into two classes, A and B, depending upon their intended installation. Class A devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a business or commercial environment. Class B devices are those that may reasonably be expected to be installed in a residential environment (for example, personal computers). The FCC requires devices in both classes to bear a label indicating the interference potential of the device as well as additional operating instructions for the user.

The rating label on the device shows which class (A or B) the equipment falls into. Class A devices do

not have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Class B devices have an FCC logo or FCC ID on the label. Once the class of the device is determined, refer to the following corresponding statement.

Class A Equipment

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at personal expense.

Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with the FCC Logo—United States Only

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules Operation and is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

1.4.4 Port 80 LEDs Information

After opening the top cover, check the lights on the system board to verify if there is any component failure. The system board contains Port 80 LEDs (with a total of eight), for you to determine where errors take place. They are CR12, CR13, CR6, CR7, CR8, CR9, CR10 and CR11. All LEDs will be cleared and restored to normal status after the server is power cycled.

The location of Port 80 LEDs is shown as below:

Figure 1-4 Port 80 LEDs

There are total of eight LEDs which are divided into two groups. LEDs from CR12 to CR7 are in one group, and the other four are in another group. The two groups represent two digits of the hex code. The group comprised of CR8-CR11 stands for the first digit of the hex code. The group comprised of CR12-CR7 stands for the second digit of the hex code. In the “Table 1-4 Code Information”, “0” stands for LED off, while “1” stands for LED on. According to the LED status of Port 80 LEDs, the corresponding hex code can be obtained by the user. From the “Table 1-7 POST Code Information”, the user can find out where an error takes place. For example, if a hex code 0B is obtained, the user can know that the server cannot detect the PS/2 mouse. The user can then take measures, such as reinserting a mouse, to solve the problem.

This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present. Onboard devices are configured with the BIOS Setup utility that is embedded in flash ROM.

The configuration utilities allow you to modify the CMOS RAM and NVRAM. The actual hardware configuration is accomplished by the BIOS POST routines and the BIOS Plug-N-Play auto-configuration manager. The configuration utilities update a checksum for both areas, so potential data corruption is detected by the BIOS before the hardware configuration is saved. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS requests that the user reconfigure the system and reboot.

Because the BIOS code is the most often changed part of the motherboard design, the BIOS information described in this section may be a little different compared to the actual BIOS that contained in your motherboard.

44..11 BBIIOOSS SSeettuupp UUttiilliittyy

This section describes the ROM-resident setup utility that provides the means to configure the platform. The BIOS Setup utility is part of the system BIOS and allows limited control over onboard resources.

The user can disable embedded PCI devices through the setup menus. When these devices are disabled through setup, their resources are freed.

The following embedded devices can be disabled through setup menus, making them invisible to a plug-and-play operating system that scans the PCI bus:

Network controllers embedded in nVIDIA MCP55Pro and IO 55 (For 2U) Onboard VGA embedded in Pilot SMC

The BIOS options described in this section may or may not be present in pre-production versions of the system BIOS. This section describes the BIOS utility as it is planned to be at production and is subject to change. Option locations, in a given menu of the BIOS Setup utility as described in this section, may be different from those observed on any one pre-production version of the system BIOS.

The BIOS Setup utility screen is divided into four functional areas.

Table 4-1 BIOS Setup Utility Screen Description

The right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used to navigate through the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times.

Each menu page contains a number of configurable options and/or informational fields. Depending on the level of security in affect, configurable options may or may not be changed. If an option cannot be changed due to the security level, its selection field is made inaccessible.

The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following:

Table 4-2 Keyboard Command Bar Description

Key Option Description

Enter Execute

Command

The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.

ESC Exit The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This

key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered.

When the ESC key is pressed in any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key i s p ress e d, the user is returned to where they were before ESC was pressed without affecting any existing settings. If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, Setup is exited and the BIOS continues with POST.

↑

Select Item The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the

previous options in a menu item's option list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.

↓

Select Item The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item’s

option list, or a value field’s pick list. The selected item must then be activated by pressing the Enter key.
