WARNING!
Before removing the server cover, disconnect all power, unplug the AC power cord,
disconnect all peripherals, and all LAN lines.

Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment. Dust and dirt can get into system components and cause
a malfunction. Many of the screws on the server are different sizes; use containers to keep screws and small com­ponents separated.

Adequate lighting and proper tools can prevent you from accidentally damaging internal components. Most of the
following procedures require only a few simple tools, including the following:

A Philips screwdriver
A flat-tipped screwdriver
A grounding strap
An anti-static pad

Most of the electrical connections can be disconnected by using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not
use needle-nosed pliers to disconnect connections as these can damage the soft metal or plastic parts of the con­nectors.

Before working on internal components, make sure that the server power is off. Ground yourself before touching
any internal components, by touching a metal object. Static electricity can damage many of the server’s electronic
components. Humid environments tend to have less static electricity than dry environments. A grounding strap is
warranted whenever danger of static electricity exists.

The QSSC-980 2U server platform is a dual-socket IA32 server platform based on the Intel® QuickPath Intercon­nect (QPI) utilizing Intel Tylersburg Platform to support up to dual Nehalem-EP or Westmere-EP processors from
dual FC LGA 1366 pin sockets, Tylersburg IOH, ICH10R, and AST2050 BMC.

Twelve DDR3 1066/1333 slots enable you to add memory up to 96 GB. ECC support provides extra security
against system failure. There are two available SKUs which support up to twelve Hard Disk Drives (HDD) and
two internal SATA Solid State Drives (SSD). The QSSC-980 Server System rear I/O ports, including two USB
ports, 2+1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports (with one management port for IPMI), one PS2 mouse port, one PS2 key­board port, one 9-pin serial port, and one 15-pin VGA port.

The QSSC-980 Server System supports ESMS (Embedded Server Management System), which is a multi­function management application via embedded BMC IPMI AST2050. The ESMS includes Web Console and
Advance Console for basic and advance server monitor and management. The Advance Console can support mul­ti-server monitoring and management.

The QSSC-980 has a PSMI (Power Supply Management Interface) connector features to support power consump­tion management, which is based on Intel DPNM (Dynamic Power Node Management). Enable the ME
(Management Engine) build in the Tylersburg chipset and select a PSMI supported power supply to monitor and
manage the Power Consumption feature through ESMS. See Power Consumption Management Function to find
out more about the Power Consumption feature.

IPMB (Intelligent Platform Management Bus) headers provide administrator access in case of server board failure.
The IPMB connects externally through the (ICMB) Intelligent Chassis Management Bus. The ICMB is used to
connect the QSSC-980 Server Board to the outside world, providing data such as temperature, voltage, or chassis
intrusion to the system administrator. ASPEED 2050 server management firmware enables the administrator to
monitor the QSSC-980 Server Board status through a typical web browser.

Safety Measures

Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working
on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines
below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to yourself.

Always disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the computer case.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively, discharge

any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the computer case, or the bare metal body of any other
grounded appliance.

Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is necessary
to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.

Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the component for the installa­tion.

Setup Menu

The computer employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in Flash memory. The Flash memory supports
the Plug and Play specification, and contains a BIOS Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine, and
the PCI auto-configuration utility.

This mainboard supports system BIOS shadowing enabling the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write­protected DRAM.

Configure such items as:
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
Password protection from unauthorized use
Power Management features
This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions:
When changing the system configuration
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are prompted to make changes to the Setup

utility
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
When changing the password or making other changes to the security setup

Note:

Only items in brackets [ ] can be modified. Items that are not in brackets are display only.

BIOS Setup Options at Boot

The user will be able to initiate SETUP by pressing the respective keys during the POST:

<F2> – Enter the BIOS Setup

Console Redirection

The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a server, which has not successfully
booted the OS. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS Console is a Flash
ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output over a serial or modem connection.

The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If serial port based headless server support is provided by
the system, the system must provide support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port. The
driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the functionality documented in the ANSI Terminal
Definition.

Enable/Disable Console Redirection

The console redirection function can be enabled/disabled in the BIOS Setup menu.

Value Description

00H Console Redirection function disable
01H Console Redirection to COM1 (3F8H)

Configuring Special Keys

Console redirection uses ANSI terminal emulation, which is limited to basic ASCII characters. There are no func­tion keys, arrow keys, or control keys in this character set. However, the QSSC-2U BIOS software requires the
use of function keys and control keys for ordinary functions. You can emulate a function key or control key by us­ing a special key sequence called an escape sequence, to represent a specific key.

For console redirection, an escape sequence starts with an escape character. This character can be entered in a va­riety of different ways depending on the requirements of your terminal emulation software. For example, 0x1b, ^[,
and <Esc> refer to the same escape character.

The following table lists the escape sequence that must be sent to represent a special key or command.

Ratio Actual Value: Information only. Display the ratio at which processors currently run.
Hardware Prefetcher:[Enabled] [Disabled] This should be enabled in order to enable or disable the Hardware

Prefetcher Disable Feature. It is triggered by regular access patterns and helps predict future access, thereby over­lapping memory latency with computation. By enabling concurrency between memory accesses and computation,
the computational benefit of higher processor frequencies is maximized.

Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch: [Enabled] [Disabled] This should be enabled in order to enable or disable the
Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch Disable Feature.The cache lines are fetched in pairs. This can be helpful if the data
to be used would continue to the next cache line, causing less cache misses to maximize throughput. When the da­ta is not in adjacent lines, then performance can be slowed, since there will be more cache misses and more time
spent filling the cache lines

Max CPUID Value Limit: [Enabled] [Disabled] Disabled for Windows XP Intel processors from the Pentium
Pro onwards have a maximum CPUID input value of only 02h or 03h. The only exception is the Intel Pentium 4
with Hyper-Threading Technology (HTT). This is where the Max CPUID Value Limit BIOS feature comes in. It
allows you to circumvent problems with older operating systems that do not support the Intel Pentium 4 processor
with Hyper-Threading Technology. When enabled, the processor will limit the maximum CPUID input value to
03h when queried, even if the processor supports a higher CPUID input value.

Virtualization Tech: [Enabled] [Disabled] When enabled, a VMM can utilize the additional HW Caps. provided
by Intel® Virtualization Tech. Note: A full reset is required to change the setting. Designed to support multiple
software environments sharing same hardware resources, each software environment may consist of OS and ap­plications.

Execute- Disable Bit Capability: [Enabled] [Disabled] When disabled, force the XD feature flag to always return

0. The Execute Disable Bit feature (XD bit) can prevent data pages from being used by malicious software to exe­cute code. A processor with the XD bit feature can provide memory protection in either of the following modes:
Legacy protected mode if Physical Address Extension (PAE) enabled. Intel® 64 mode when 64-bit extension
technology is enabled.

Intel(R) HT Technology: [Enabled] [Disabled] When Disabled only one thread per enabled core is enabled. Intel
HT Technology is a processor design that combines hardware multithreading with superscalar processor technol­ogy to allow multiple threads to issue instructions each cycle. SMT permits all thread contexts to simultaneously
compete for and share processor resources.

Active Processor Cores: [All] [1] [2] Number of cores to enable in each processor package.
Intel(R) SpeedStep(tm) tech: [Enabled] [Disabled] Intel® Xeon® processors support the Geyserville3 (GV3)

feature of the Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology. This feature changes the processor operating ratio and vol­tage similar to the Thermal Monitor 1 (TM1) feature. It must be used in conjunction with the TM1. The BIOS
implements the GV3 feature in conjunction with the TM1 feature. This technology allows the clock speed of the
processor to be dynamically changed by software.

Intel(R) TurboMode tech: [Enabled] [Disabled] Turbo mode allows processor cores to run faster than marked
frequency in specific condition. Only for Nehalem processor The Turbo Mode feature allows extreme edition pro­cessors to program thresholds for power/current which can increase platform performance by 10%.

Intel(R) CSTATE tech: [Enabled] [Disabled} CState: CPU idle is set to C2/C3/C4.

About ESMS

The Embedded Server Management System (ESMS) is a multi-function management application that pro­vides administrators an efficient utility for remotely managing single or multiple clients.

ESMS provides two console modes–Web Console and Advance Console. The web console mode provides
simple management function to do basic management while the Advance console mode, Java Remote Su­pervisor Management (Java RSM), supports more advanced management functions. The first half of this
chapter will guide you how to use Web console and the second half of this chapter guide you how to use
Advance console. In combination assists users a comprehensive understanding of using the ESMS.

The following web browsers are supported:

• Internet Explorer 6 and 7

• Mozilla 1.7.13 or later

• Firefox 1.5 or later

ESMS Flow Diagram

The following diagram describes the process flow for the two console modes supported by ESMS.

Enter IP address for Authentication

System default IP address sources from Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) first. If DHCP
server is not detected, the BMC IP will be assigned to https://192.168.1.2/ (or URL) instead of DHCP.

When connecting to the ESMS using a web browser, SSL is automatically activated after the required mode is se­lected and the user login fields are displayed. This authentication with SSL protection prevents unauthorized
intruders such as hackers from gaining access to the ESMS web server. If authentication is passed, the user can
manage the server by privilege. At the same time, the PHP (PHP Hypertext Preprocessor) records all user informa­tion, including user ID and privilege.

Setting the KVM TCP Ports on the Network

Before using the ESMS, ensure that the firewall settings are configured to allow access to the following ports:

• Remote KVM—8890 (TCP), 8900 (TCP)

• Discovery—5000 (Multicast), 2000 (UDP)

• Virtual Storage—9000 (TCP)

Note:
The ESMS requires access to the system’s TCP ports. For information on configur­ing firewall settings to allow TCP port access, refer to your firewall software user’s
guide.

Choose Console Mode

Two modes of operation are available to access the ESMS application—Web Console and Advance Console.

Figure 3 – Console Mode Screen

Using ESMS Web Console Mode

This mode provides access to Web Console ESMS functions only and is used for minor systems tasks and moni­toring purposes for a single server.

Using Server Monitor

The Server Monitor displays information about specific remote system status. All discovered hosts relay informa­tion to the Server Monitor, which is then sorted in to an Event Log, and item specific sub-functions including
system temperature, system voltage, system fan speed, and system components.

Event Log

The Event Log records system events in the form of a table for all discovered BMC hosts. Filters applied to the
log reduce the content to specific events requested by the user.
