Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions

Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions.

Warnings

Heed safety instructions: Before working with the server, whether using this manual or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. Adhere to the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this manual. Use of other products / components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will most likely result in non-compliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.

System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before opening the chassis, adding, or removing any components.

Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any unpainted metal surface on the server when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper

SAFETY INFORMATION

with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.

BIOS

Chapter 3

BIOS BIOS UPDATE UTILITY

3-1

3.1. BIOS Update Utility

The flash ROM contains system initialization routines, the BIOS Setup Utility, and runtime support routines. The exact layout is subject to change, as determined by BIOS. The flash ROM also contains initialization code in compressed form for onboard peripherals, like SCSI, NIC and video controllers. The complete ROM is visible, starting at physical address 4 GB minus the size of the flash ROM device.

A 16-KB parameter block in the flash ROM is dedicated to storing configuration data that controls the system configuration (ESCD). Application software must use standard APIs to access these areas; application software cannot access the data directly.

BIOS Update Utility

Server platforms support DOS-based, Windows-based, and Linux-based firmware update utilities. This utility loads a fresh copy of the BIOS into the flash ROM.

The BIOS update may affect the following items:

 The system BIOS, including the recovery code, setup util-

ity and strings.

 Onboard video BIOS, RAID BIOS, and other option

ROMS for the devices embedded on the server board.

 Memory reference code.

 Microcode updates.

Recovery Mode

Recovery process can be initiated by setting the recovery jumper. BIOS would detect the recovery jumper set and start to execute recovery code.

The BIOS consists of three parts, the Main BIOS Section, the NVRAM Section, and the Boot Block Recovery Section. The Main BIOS Section and the NVRAM Section will be updated during recovery process, but the Boot Block will be preserved.

BIOS recovery could be held through a USB removable drive, and the recovery media must include the BIOS image file, S1W_REC.ROM.

BIOS RECOVERY MODE

3-2

Recovery Flow

The BIOS has an embedded recovery technique in the 'boot block'. In the event that the BIOS becomes corrupt, the boot block can be used to restore the BIOS to a working state. The routine is called when the 'system block' of the BIOS is empty or corrupt. The restore routine when called will access the USB drive looking for a file named S1W_REC.ROM. This is the reason the USB drive light comes on and the drive appears to be in use. If the file (S1W_REC.ROM) is found it is loaded into the 'system block' of the BIOS to replace the corrupted information To restore your BIOS copy the most recent version of your motherboards BIOS file to a USB key and rename it S1W_REC.ROM

The recovery mode procedure is as follows:

1. Rename the good known BIOS as S1W_REC.ROM.

2. Plug in a removable USB disk.

3. Save the S1W_REC.ROM. file into the removable USB disk.

4. Short the BIOS recovery jumper. See Motherboard Con- nectors and Jumpers.

5. Power on the server.

The system will automatically enter BIOS Setup menu and display a Recovery page as follows:

BIOS Recovery Menu

The recovery process begins.

6. Set the BIOS recovery jumper back to default position and wait until the recovery process is completed. See

Loading BIOS Defaults

Different mechanisms exist for resetting the system configuration to the default values. When a request to reset the system configuration is detected, the BIOS loads the default system configuration values during the next POST. The request to reset the system to the defaults can be sent in the following ways:

 A request to reset the system configuration can be gener-

ated by pressing <F9> from within the BIOS Setup utility.

 A reset system configuration request can be generated by

moving the clear system configuration jumper.

The following steps will load the BIOS defaults:

1. Power down the system. (Do not remove AC power.)

2. Move the Clear NVRAM jumper from pins 1-2 to pins 2-3.

3. Power up the system.

4. Move the Clear NVRAM jumper from pins 2-3 to pins 1-2.

BIOS SERVER MANAGEMENT

3-41

3.3. Server Management

The BIOS supports many standard-based server management features and several proprietary features. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is an industry standard and defines standardized, abstracted interfaces to platform management hardware. The BIOS implements many proprietary features that are allowed by the IPMI specification, but these features are outside the scope of the IPMI specification. This section describes the implementation of the standard and proprietary features.

Console Redirection

The BIOS supports redirection of both video and keyboard via a serial link (serial port). When console redirection is enabled, the local, or host server, keyboard input and video output are passed both to the local keyboard and video connections, and to the remote console through the serial link. Keyboard inputs from both sources are considered valid and video is displayed to both outputs.

As an option, the system can be operated without a host keyboard or monitor attached to the system and run entirely via the

remote console. Utilities that can be executed remotely include BIOS Setup.

Serial Configuration Settings

For optimal configuration of Serial Over LAN or EMP see the BMC Specification.

The BIOS does not require that the splash logo be turned off for console redirection to function. The BIOS supports multiple consoles, some of which are in graphics mode and some in text mode. The graphics consoles can display the logo and the text consoles receive the redirected text.

Keystroke Mapping

During console redirection, the remote terminal sends keystrokes to the local server. The remote terminal can be a dumb terminal with a direct connection and running a communication program. The keystroke mapping follows VT-UTF8 format with the following extensions.

BIOS CONSOLE REDIRECTION

3-42

Standalone <Esc> Key for Headless Operation

The Microsoft Headless Design Guidelines describes a specific implementation for the <Esc> key as a single standalone keystroke:

 <Esc> followed by a two-second pause must be inter-

preted as a single escape.

 <Esc> followed within two seconds by one or more char-

acters that do not form a sequence described in this specification must be interpreted as <Esc> plus the character or characters, not as an escape sequence.

WINDOWS PLATFORM DESIGN NOTE

BIOS PXE BIOS SUPPORT

3-43

The escape sequence in the following table is an input sequence. This means it is sent to the BIOS from the remote terminal.

Limitations

 BIOS Console redirection terminates after an operating

system has being loaded. The operating system is responsible for continuing console redirection after that.

 BIOS console redirection is a text console. Graphical data,

such as a logo, are not redirected.

Interface to Server Management

If the BIOS determines that console redirection is enabled, it will read the current baud rate and pass this value to the appropriate management controller via the Intelligent Platform Management Bus (IPMB).

PXE BIOS Support

The BIOS supports the EFI PXE implementation. To utilize this, the user must load EFI Simple Network Protocol driver and the UNDI driver specific for the network interface card being used. The UNDI driver should be included with the network interface

card. The Simple Network Protocol driver can be obtained from

http://developer.intel.com/technology/framework.

The BIOS supports legacy PXE option ROMs in legacy mode and includes the necessary PXE ROMs in the BIOS image for the onboard controllers. The legacy PXE ROM is required to boot a non-EFI operating system over the network.

Checkpoints

A checkpoint is either a byte or word value output to Debug port. The BIOS outputs checkpoints throughout bootblock and Power-On Self Test (POST) to indicate the task the system is currently executing. Checkpoints are very useful in aiding software developers or technicians in debugging problems that occur during the pre-boot process.
