4.3.1 Motherboard and Type

The version of an Intel server motherboard can
be determined by decoding the last three digits
of the board part number.

For example: For the product C44686-703, the
number following the "-" is as follows:

7 = Fabrication (FAB) Number
03 = Revision 3.

The board part number can be found on the

4.4 System Memory

The type and amount of system memory, or
RAM (random access memory), on your server
depends on the motherboard installed and how
it was configured.

4.4.1 Identifying System Memory

Refer to your Motherboard and Type on Page

19.” Once you have identified the
motherboard, TAG technical support can assist
you in determining the type and amount of
system memory in your system. See
“Contacting information on TAG on back page
of this manual for information on how to
contact Technical Support.

Operations Manual

For information on replacing or upgrading your
system memory, refer to “Adding and
Replacing System Memory on page 58.”

4.5 TAG Approved BIOS

The BIOS (basic input/output system) is the
program stored on the CMOS that the server's
microprocessor uses to get the system started
after you turn it on. The BIOS also manages
data flow between the computer's operating
system and attached devices such as the hard
disk, video adapter, keyboard, and mouse.

CAUTION: The BIOS installed on your

server was loaded and tested with all the
devices initially installed in your system. If
you desire to have the BIOS updated,
consult TAG technical support in advance
as updates to your approved BIOS may
cause your system to become unstable or
inoperable.

4.5.1 Common BIOS Settings

Printer Parallel Port-Uni., Bi-directional, Disable, Enable, ECP, EPP

4.5.1.1 Printer Parallel Port Uni., Bi-Directional, Disable,
Enable, ECP, EPP.

Settings in the CMOS enable you to configure
a parallel port to use Enhanced Parallel Port
(EPP) or Enhanced Parallel Port (ECP). ECP.
EPP and ECP are bi-directional standards,
operate in 8-bit, and allow data transfer speed
of approximately 2 MB/s. Some of the main
differences are that ECP supports Direct
Memory Access (DMA) and data compression,
which enables higher transfer rates.

It is also possible to completely disable the
parallel port in the BIOS. Most BIOS' allow you
to set the DMA channel, when the port mode is
set to ECP.

Version 1.0. 10/30/07

Operations Manual

4.5.1.2 Com / Serial Port

Most personal computers have two serial ports.
In the BIOS you can assign
COM1/COM2/COM3/COM4 to serial port 1 or

2.
Most BIOS' also allow you to set the I/O and

IRQ but this is mostly done automatically.

4.5.1.3 Hard Drives

Most modern BIOS' allow automatic detection
of disk parameters. The settings can be
individually configured for the primary master
and slave device and the secondary master
and slave device. The following are some of
the primary settings that apply to hard drives
as well as CD/DVD-ROM drives, tape backup
drive, etc.

Common disk types are:

• User-defined Cylinders, Heads, Sectors (CHS)
values

• Auto-automatically detects hard disks
parameters at every startup

• 1-46-predefined combinations of CHS values

• CDROM-used for AT Attachment Packet

Interface (ATAPI) CD-ROM drives

• ARMD-used for ATAPI ZIP and LS 120 drives

• DVDROM

Size - Determines the capacity of the drive CHS

values

• Number of Cylinders

• Number of Heads

• Number of Sectors

• LBA (Large Block Addressing)-technology to

overcome the 528 MB limit

4.5.1.4 Boot Sector Virus

A common setting related to hard drives. When
enabled, the BIOS issues a warning
message/beep if an attempt is made to write to
the boot sector or partition table of a hard disk.

4.5.1.5 Memory

Parity adds an extra bit (odd or even) to the 8­bit data-string to ensure data integrity in
memory modules. Its successor, ECC,
provides improved data integrity by adding
information about individual bits.

4.5.1.6 Boot Sequence

This setting is used to control the order that the
BIOS uses during the boot process to look for
a boot device from which to load the operating
system. For example:

• CD

• Floppy

• Hard Disk

4.5.1.7 Date and Time

The Date and Time is set in the BIOS, stored in
CMOS, and maintained by CMOS battery.

4.5.1.8 Passwords

In most cases a user (startup) password and a
supervisor (setup) password can be set in the
CMOS. When a Setup password is required,
the computer will prompt for it when you try to
access the BIOS setup. When a Startup
password is configured, the computer will
prompt for it at every startup.

The CMOS password can be reset by
shortening the "CMOS restore to factory
defaults jumper" or by temporarily removing the
CMOS battery.

Operations Manual

4.5.1.9 Plug and Play BIOS

Today's BIOS' are Plug and Play (PnP)-aware.
This means they are able to automatically
assign resources such as IRQ and DMA to
PnP devices.

Information about PnP devices is stored in a
separate area of non-volatile CMOS memory,
called the Extended System Configuration
Database (ESCD). Both the PnP BIOS and the
operating system can access this area and
communicate with each other about resource
settings assigned to PnP devices as well as
non-PnP devices. For example, when a fixed
interrupt request (IRQ) is manually assigned to
a particular device using Device Manager,
Windows will write this information to the
ESCD on shutdown thereby preventing the
BIOS from assigning the same IRQ to a PnP
device at startup.

You can also reserve IRQs for non-PnP
devices in the CMOS setup, this will prevent
the BIOS from assigning these reserved
resources to PnP devices, a common example
is a legacy sound card that needs IRQ 5.

4.5.1.10 Power Management

Modern motherboards provide Advanced
Configuration and Power Management
Interface (ACPI) settings such as wake-up,
power button function and standby/suspend
timers. These functions are configured in the
CMOS Setup.

4.6 Identifying your I/O Connectors

4.7.2 Dual-redundant, auto-sensing power supply

Power for all the equipment in the system is a
dual redundant Hot-Swap AC input Power
supply with an Input AC Voltage Range
of 115 Vrms nominal, 98 to 138 Vrms (-15%,
+20%).

Input Power Line Frequency

The system shall operate over the input power
frequency range of 60 Hz nominal, 56.4 to 63.6
Hz (- 6%, + 6%).

Power Connector

The AC input power connector is IEC 320

WARNING

Power supplies contain dangerous
voltages. Before attempting to work on any
power supply always unplug the device and
drain the power source by turning the
server on after the power supply has been
disconnected. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in serious injury
due to electrical shock.

To satisfy reliability requirements, TAG servers
are designed with Hot-Swappable power
supplies. If in the event of a power supply
module failure or if the power source fails and
only one module is receiving power, an audible
alarm sounds. For procedures on how to Hot­Swap a power supply module refer to the
Procedures Section of this manual. Replacing
a Hot-Swap power supply.

Although most TAG power supplies for the 1U
and 4U series servers are similar in physical
sizes, and physical characteristics, some
servers use smaller foot print power supplies.
Figure 4-11 shows a typical 4U Hot-Swap
power supply.

5.4 Upgrading Memory and Replacing Hot-Swap and LRU
Components

5.4.1 Preventing Static Electricity

This section provides procedures for replacing
all Hot-Swappable and LRU components,
including procedures for replacing or adding
system memory.

The components inside your computer are
extremely sensitive to static electricity, also
known as electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD
can permanently damage electrostatic
discharge-sensitive components in your server.

To prevent ESD damage, follow these
guidelines before opening the server case:

1. Turn off the server and unplug the power cord
before opening the case.

2. Wear a grounding wrist strap and attach it to
a bare metal part of the server, workbench, or
other grounded connection.

Figure 5-50 Grounding Wrist Strap

3. Do not insert any object into the vent holes on

the case or the power supply. Touch a bare
metal surface on the back of the computer, a
bare metal surface on your workbench, or
other grounded object before handing DIMMs
or other components.

SV-2003-X2 Server

Part Number: 1006446 Page 58 of 72

Version 1.0. 10/30/07

Chapter 3

Before working with computer components,
follow these guidelines:

• Avoid static-causing surfaces such as carpeted
floors, plastic, and packing foam.

• Remove components from their antistatic bags
only when you are ready to use them. Do not
lay components on the outside of antistatic
bags because only the inside of the bags
provide electrostatic protection. Always hold
memory modules and components by their
edges or their metal mounting brackets.

• Avoid touching the edge connectors and
components on the cards. Never slide memory
modules or components over any surface.

5.5 Replacing a Hot-Swap Power Supply Module

Your TAG server was designed with the ability
to Hot-Swap a power supply module without
disconnecting system power. Refer to Figure 4­12 and the steps that follow to Hot-Swap a
power supply module.

NOTE: If you need to remove both
modules, you must shutdown the system,
unplug the power source from the unit and
drain the systems onboard battery by
pressing the on/off switch and holding it in
place for approximately 10 seconds to drain
any charge that might be retained by the
systems motherboard.

1. Obtain certified replacement module from TAG.
For more information on contact information
see document back page.

2. Depending on the series of your server, either
a retention bracket or filtering cover that is
secured with thumb screws will need to be
removed first.

NOTE: In some cases a screw driver
(Philips head) might be required to remove
a retention bar that is screwed into the
power supply.

SV-2003-X2 Server

Version 1.0. 10/30/07

Chapter 3

3. Loosen the thumb screws on the desired
module to be replaced.

4. Depress the module safety latch and gently pull
the handle as shown in Figure 4-12.

Figure 5-51 Hot-Swap of 2U Server Power Supply Module

5. Slide the replacement module into the power
supply.

6. Press firmly and evenly on the power module

until you feel the module seat in the back of the
power supply.

5.6 Replacing a Hot-Swap Hard Drive

The system's hard drive Hot-Swap feature
enables you to remove a hard drive without
shutting down the operating system or turning
off the system power. The way in which you
remove a hard drive depends on the
application you are using and whether you are
replacing a drive, adding a new one, or
removing a drive permanently.

SV-2003-X2 Server

Part Number: 1006446 Page 60 of 72

Version 1.0. 10/30/07

Chapter 3

When you remove a drive using the Hot-Swap
operation, you need to stop the hard drive and
take it offline to remove the logical software
links to the hard drive, and to reconfigure the
file system so that it will now ignore the
removed drive. You might also have to
reconfigure your application software to
operate without the removed drive. Therefore it
is strongly recommended that you contact TAG
Technical Support at [e-mail]
before attempting to Hot-Swap a hard drive.
For more information on contact information
see document back page.

5.7 Removing the Server Cover

The location of the mounting screws securing
the server cover varies per server . To remove
the cover, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove
all screws from the sides and top of the cover.

NOTE: It is important to make note of the
location from which screws are removed
since different screw lengths may be used
to secure the cover.

CAUTION

It is not safe to operate TAG servers
without the cover in place. Failure to take
this precaution may result in personal
injury and system damage.

5.8 Adding or Replacing System Memory

This section lists the procedures for adding or
replacing system memory.

WARNING

Ensure that the system is powered-down
and all power sources have been
disconnected from the server prior to
removing or replacing system memory.
Failure to do so could result in serious
injury from electrical shock.

CAUTION

Printed circuit boards and hard drives
contain electronic components that are
extremely sensitive to static electricity.
Ordinary amounts of static from your
clothes or the work environment can
destroy components. Do not touch the
components or any

proper antistatic precautions.

6 RAID

Chapter 4

RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of
Inexpensive (or Independent) Disks. This
section provides a high-level overview that
defines RAID, the advantages and
disadvantages of various RAID levels, and
guidelines to observe when implementing
RAID.

6.1 RAID Defined

RAID is a way of storing data on two or more
physical disks for the purpose of redundancy,
improved performance, or both. The combined
physical disks make up what is called an array.
This array appears on the host system as one
disk. For example, if you have physical disk 1
and physical disk 2, those two disks appear to
the host system as one disk.

RAID consists of different levels, which
determine how the data is placed in the array.
Each RAID level has specific data protection
and system performance characteristics. The
following are commonly used SCSI RAID
levels:

1. RAID Level 0: Striping, good performance, no
redundancy

2. RAID Level 1: Mirroring, one-to-one
redundancy

3. RAID Level 5: Striping with parity striped
across all drives; offers performance and
redundancy

4. RAID Level 10: Mirroring and striping; best
redundancy and best performance

5. RAID Level 50: Parity striped across all drives
in a mirrored set; redundancy and performance

You can manage RAID arrays with a RAID
controller (hardware RAID) or with software
alone (software RAID).

Chapter 4

6.1.1 Reasons for RAID

Depending on how you implement RAID (which
RAID level you use), the benefits include one
or both of the following:

• Faster performance: In RAID 0, 10, or 50
arrays, the host system can access multiple
disks simultaneously. This improves
performance because each disk in an array
has to handle only part of the request. For
example, in a two-disk array, each disk needs
to provide only its part of the requested data.

• Data protection: In RAID 1, 10, 5, and 50
arrays, the data is backed up either on an
identical disk (mirror) or on multiple disks
(parity disks). RAID 10 and 50 also allow the
host to access disks simultaneously.

6.1.2 RAID Level 0

6.1.3 RAID Level 1

RAID Level 0 is not redundant, hence does not
truly fit the "RAID" acronym. In Level 0, data is
split across drives, resulting in higher data
throughput. Since no redundant information is
stored, performance is very good, but the
failure of any disk in the array results in all data
loss. This level is commonly referred to as
striping.

See Figure 6-1 RAID Level 1 is commonly
referred to as mirroring with 2 hard drives. It
provides redundancy by duplicating all data
from one drive on another drive. The
performance of a Level 1 array is slightly better
than a single drive, but if either drive fails, no
data is lost. This is a good entry-level
redundant system, since only two drives are
required. However, since one drive is used to
store a duplicate of the data, the cost per
megabyte is high.
