• The device may only be opened for the installation and removal of extension (PCI) cards, memory modules, hard-disk drives, fan housings, power supplies (RES-22 and RES-32 systems only), and the lithium battery—all in accordance with the instructions given in this manual.

• If extensions are made to the device, the legal stipulations and the device specifications must be observed.

• The device must be switched off when removing the top cover; for example, before installing extension (PCI) cards.

Operation of Laser Source Devices

DVD/CD-ROM drives contain laser light-emitting diodes (classified in accordance with IEC 825-1:1993: LASER CLASS 1) and, therefore, must not be opened.

RES-22DCX Installation Manual

If the enclosure of such a drive is opened, invisible laser radiation is emitted. Do not allow yourself to be exposed to this radiation.

The laser system meets the code of Federal Regulations 21 CFR,1040 for the USA and Canadian Radiation Emitting Devices Act, REDR C 1370.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

A sudden discharge of electrostatic electricity can destroy static-sensitive devices or micro-circuitry. Proper packaging and grounding techniques are necessary precautions to prevent damage. Always take the following precautions:

1. Transport boards in static-safe containers such as boxes or bags.

2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-

free stations.

3. Always be properly grounded when touching a sensitive board, component, or

assembly.

4. Store electrostatic-sensitive boards in protective packaging or on conductive

foam.

Themis Computer

RES-22DCX Installation Manual

Grounding Methods

Guard against electrostatic damage at workstations by following these steps:

1. Cover workstations with approved anti-static material. Provide a wrist strap

connected to a work surface and properly grounded tools and equipment.

2. Use anti-static mats, heel straps, or air ionizers to give added protection.

3. Handle electrostatic-sensitive components, boards, and assemblies by the case

or the PCB edge.

4. Avoid contact with pins, leads, or circuitry.

5. Turn off power and input signals before inserting and removing connectors or

test equipment.

6. Keep the work area free of non-conductive materials such as ordinary plastic as-

sembly aids and Styrofoam.

7. Use field service tools, such as cutters, screwdrivers, and vacuums that are con-

ductive.

8. Always place drives and boards PCB-assembly-side down on the foam.

Instructions for the Lithium Battery

RES systems are equipped with a lithium battery installed on the motherboard. To replace this battery, please observe the instructions that are described in this manual.

RES-22DCX Installation Manual

The 2RU-high (3.5”) RES-22DCX has been designed to fit into a standard 19” rack and is provided with rack-mount brackets without handles. Optional rack-mount brackets with handles and optional rack-mount slides are also available. The RES22DCX is rugged enough to withstand extreme shock (up to 25G), temperature (up to 50°C), and EMI such as that associated with such demanding markets as the military, aerospace, and telecommunications industries.

The two dual-core Intel Xeon CPUs operate up to 2.33 GHz (with a 1333-MHz front-side system bus) and support up to 32 GigaBytes of DDR2 ECC FB-DIMM memory modules. The RES-22DCX is based on the functionality and capability of the Intel 5000X (Greencreek) chipset, which consists of the following three devices:

Themis Computer

1.1.1 Special Features

1.1.1.1 Recovery from AC Power Loss

The BIOS setup can be configured to allow the system, whenever AC power is lost,

• to remain off (in which case, the power switch must be activated by the user) or

• return to a power-on state automatically when power is restored.

The system default is “Always On”.

1.1.1.2 Voltage Monitors

A built-in voltage monitor continually scans multiple voltages (CPU cores, chipset voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V, –12V, and +5V standby) on the motherboard. If a voltage becomes unstable, it issues a warning or sends an error message to the screen. Voltage thresholds can be adjusted through the PC health-monitor utility to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor.

Overview and Specifications

Overview

1.1.1.3 Fan Status Monitor

The RES-22DCX has ten cooling fans—two 60-mm fans within each fan assembly at the front of the system, one on each CPU, and two within each power supply. The PC health-monitor utility can be used to check the RPM status of cooling fans. The onboard CPU and chassis fans are controlled by Thermal Management via BIOS.

1.1.1.4 Environmental Temperature Control

The thermal-control sensor monitors CPU temperature in real time and will activate the thermal fan when CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. Overheat circuitry operates independently from the CPU, and can continue to monitor overheat conditions even when the CPU is in sleep mode.

Once the thermal sensor detects a CPU temperature that is above the set threshold, it automatically turns on the thermal control fan to prevent overheat damage to the CPU. In addition, onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor overall system temperature and alert users when chassis temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold.

1.1.1.5 CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep (Doze) Mode

The CPU fan activates when power is turned on, and continues to operate when the system enters Standby mode. In Sleep mode, the CPU will not run at full power, generating less heat. Sleep settings are made through the PC health-monitor utility.

Themis Computer

1-7

RES-22DCX Installation Manual

1.1.1.6 CPU Overheat LED and Control

This feature is enabled by the user through the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. With it, the user can define an overheat temperature that, when exceeded, activates the overheat fan and the Overheat warning LED.

1.1.1.7 IPMI Module Support

The RES-22DCX motherboard contains a special SIM Low Profile IPMI 2.0 slot (see Figure 1-4) to install an optional Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) module. This invaluable health-monitoring tool provides full SNMP (including SNMP trap), some power cycle functions (reboot and graceful shutdown), and the ability to control other servers. [This module must be installed at the factory.]

Detailed information on IPMI may be obtained from the following website:

http://www.intel.com/design/servers/ipmi/.

1.1.1.8 System Resource Alert (optional)

Available only through Supero Doctor III in the Windows OS environment or Supero Doctor II in Linux (an optional third-party product), this feature is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insufficient hard disk-drive space for saving the data, an alert will be issued warning of the potential problem.

1.1.2 ACPI Features

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard method of integrating power management features throughout the system. This includes the hardware, the operating system, and the application software. As a result, the system can automatically turn peripherals (CD-ROMs, NICs, hard-disk drives, and printers, for example) on or off. This includes any consumer devices that may be connected to the system (VCRs, TVs, telephones, and stereo systems, for example).

In addition to providing operating-system power management, ACPI offers a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating-system-independent interface for configuration control. Plug-and-Play BIOS data structures are leveraged, while the implementation is processor-architecture-independent and compatible with both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 5.0.

1-8

Themis Computer

1.1.2.1 Suspend-State Indicator

When the CPU enters a suspend state, the Power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. Pressing any key on the keyboard will awaken the CPU, at which time the power LED will stop blinking and remain on.

1.1.2.2 Main Switch Override

ATX 2.01 (or higher)-compliant power supply only. If enabled in the system setup, the RES-22DCX power button on the front of the unit functions as a suspend button to make the system enter a SoftOff state. The monitor is suspended, and the hard drive will spin down. Pressing the power button again will cause the system to awaken.

During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides only enough power to keep the minimum required circuitry alive. If you want to turn the power off completely, in the event of a system malfunction, for example, depress and hold the power button for four (4) seconds. The system will turn off completely with no power to the motherboard provided. This option can be set in the Power section of the BIOS setup routine.

Follow these steps to install a PCI card in the RES-22DCX system:

1. Make sure that the 2RU-high PCI Riser Card is firmly inserted into Slot 6 of the motherboard (see Figure 2-6), and that both cable connectors are installed in their respective slots (2 and 3).

2. Before any PCI card can be removed or installed, the PCI-card retainer bracket must be removed. Loosen the Phillips screw holding this retainer (see A, Figure 2-9 on page 2-12) and remove the retainer.

3. Locate the lowest PCI Riser Card slot within which a PCI card will be installed, then remove all PCI cards that are installed above it. If the slot is empty, remove the Phillips screw holding the blank I/O Panel.

4. Install the new PCI card in the lowest available slot (see B, Figure 2-9), se- curing its I/O faceplate with the Phillips screw removed in Step 3.

Installation and Operation

Installation Procedures

5. Continue installing PCI cards above the card installed in Step 4 until all cards have been installed (see C, Figure 2-9).

Caution: The middle slot of the PCI Riser Card contains a card-locking lever that pivots (counter-clockwise) to lock the PCI-Express card into place. Since some PCI card edges are fragile, firmly seat the card and be careful when locking it in place.

Note: If a long PCI card is being installed in the top slot of the PCI Riser Card, make sure that the card retainers have been installed to hold both (opposite) edges of the PCI card (see Figure 2-8). Card retainers rigidly hold the PCI card to prevent damage during a sudden shock to the system.

If you are installing a long PCI card in the top slot of the PCI Riser Card and retainers have not been installed on your RES-22DCX, call Themis Customer Service for instructions.

6. Replace the PCI-card retainer bracket and secure it with the Phillips-head screw previously removed (see D, Figure 2-9).

7. Attach any internal I/O cables to the installed PCI cards.

8. Carefully fold and tuck any exposed ribbon cables into the chassis.

C.1 Introduction

This chapter describes the Phoenix BIOS™ Setup utility for the RES-22DCX. The Phoenix ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy-disk-based program.

Appendix

BIOS Setup Utility

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. Please refer to the Manual Download area of the SuperMicro web site http://www.supermicro.com for any changes to the BIOS that may not be reflected in this manual.

C.1.1 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 configured with the values stored in the CMOS logic by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot up.
