1 Setting up the system

Server position

Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer:

The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms

with humidity over 70%, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not

expose the server to any temperatures over +30° C or under +10° C.

Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.

Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip

hazards.

When you save data to your server‘s hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as

magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or

electromagnetic fields.

Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices

should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact

printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.

Please take care to ensure a free air flow to the server at all times. Do not block the ventilation

slots of the server case and particularly the power supplies. An insufficient air flow may

damage the server and / or it’s components.

ATTENTION

In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall outlet

Video

The server board S875WP1-E contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics subsystems. You can use either the AGP connector or the ATI Rage XL video controller. When an AGP card is installed, the integrated 8 MB video controller is disabled.

AGP Connector

AGP is a high-performance interface for graphics-intensive applications. AGP is independent of the

PCI bus and is intended for exclusive use with graphical display devices. The AGP bus follows the

AGP 3.0 specification.

The AGP connector on the server board S875WP1-E supports the following:

• 2X, 4X, or 8X AGP protocol.

• 1.5 V add-in cards only.

• Maximum bus bandwidth of 2.13 GB/sec



NOTE

The AGP connector is keyed for 1.5V AGP cards only. Do not attempt to install a legacy 3.3V AGP card. The AGP connector is not mechanically compatible with legacy 3.3 V AGP cards.

ATI Rage XL Video Controller

The S875WP1-E server board provides an ATI Rage XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with 8 MB of video SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video subsystem. The ATI Rage XL chip contains a SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D and 3D engine, and RAMDAC in a 272-pin

PBGA. One 2Mx32 SDRAM chip provides 8 MB of video memory.

The SVGA subsystem supports a variety of modes, up to 1600 x 1200 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 2D, and up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D. It also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.

The server board S875WP1-E provides a standard 15-pin VGA connector and supports disabling of the on-board video through the BIOS Setup menu or when a plug-in video card is installed in the AGP slot or any of the PCI slots.

• PCI power management support.

The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the I/O controller.

Serial Port

The server board S875WP1-E has one serial port connector and one serial port header. The serial port

A connector is located on the back panel. The serial ports’ NS16C550-compatible UART supports data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kb/s with BIOS support.

A DH10 10-pin serial header is available on the baseboard for an option Serial B port.


Parallel Port

The 25-pin D-Sub parallel port connector is located on the back panel. In the BIOS Setup program, the parallel port can be set to the following modes:

• Output only (PC AT-compatible mode)

• Bi-directional (PS/2 compatible)

• EPP

• ECP

Floppy Drive Controller

The I/O controller supports one diskette drive that is compatible with the 82077 diskette drive controller and supports both PC-AT and PS/2 modes.

Keyboard and Mouse Connectors

PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are located on the back panel. The +5V lines to these connectors are protected with a PolySwitch circuit that, like a self-healing fuse, reestablishes the connection after an overcurrent condition is removed.



NOTE

The keyboard is supported in the bottom PS/2 connector and the mouse is supported in the top PS/2 connector. Power to the computer should be turned off before a keyboard or mouse is connected or disconnected.

The keyboard controller contains the AMI keyboard and mouse controller code, provides the keyboard and mouse control functions, and supports password protection for power-on/reset. A power-on/reset password can be specified in the BIOS Setup program.

USB

High-Speed USB 2.0 Support



NOTES

Use a shielded cable that meets the requirements for a full-speed USB device. Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port might not meet FCC Class B requirements, even if no device or a low-speed USB device is attached to the cable.

USB devices are limited to USB 1.1 transfer rates prior to operating system and driver initialization.

The server board supports up to six USB 2.0 ports via the ICH5. Four ports are routed to the back panel.

One header, supporting up to two ports, is routed to the front panel. USB 2.0 ports are backward compatible with USB 1.1 devices. USB 1.1 devices will function normally at USB 1.1 speeds.

USB 2.0 support requires both an operating system and drivers that fully support USB 2.0 transfer rates. Disabling High-Speed USB in BIOS reverts all USB 2.0 ports to USB 1.1 operation. This may be required to accommodate operating systems that do not support USB 2.0.

Legacy USB Support

Legacy USB support allows USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not available. Legacy USB support is used to access the

BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled.

Four of the USB ports are implemented with stacked back panel connectors; the other two are accessible via the front panel USB header. The S875WP1-E server board fully supports UHCI and uses UHCI-compatible software drivers.




NOTE

Computer systems that have an unshielded cable attached to a USB port may not meet FCC Class

B requirements, even if no device is attached to the cable. Use s shielded cable that meets the requirements for full-speed devices.

Legacy USB support operates as follows:

1. When the user applies power to the computer, legacy support is disabled.

2. POST begins.

3. Legacy USB support is enabled by the BIOS allowing the user to use a USB keyboard to enter

and configure the BIOS Setup program and the maintenance menu.

4. POST completes.

5. The operating system loads. While the operating system is loading, USB keyboard and mice

are recognized and may be used to configure the operating system. (Keyboard and mice are

not recognized during this period if Legacy USB support is set to Disabled in the BIOS Setup

program.)

6. After the operating system loads the USB drivers, all legacy and non-legacy USB devices are

recognized by the operating system, and Legacy USB support from the BIOS is no longer

used.

To install an operating system that supports USB, verify that Legacy USB support in the BIOS

Setup program is set to Enabled and follow the operating system’s installation instructions.



NOTE

Legacy USB support is for keyboard, mice, and hubs only. Other USB devices are not supported in legacy mode.

PCI I/O Subsystem

The primary I/O bus for the board S875WP1-E is PCI, with one independent PCI bus. The PCI bus complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.3. The PCI bus is directed through the Intel

®

82801EB I/O Controller Hub (ICH5-R). The table below lists the characteristics of the PCI bus. The

PCI bus supports the following embedded devices and connectors:

• 2D/3D Graphics Accelerator: ATI Rage XL Video Controller.

• Three PCI slots

Data Storage

Serial ATA (SATA)

The server board S875WP1-E supports Serial ATA devices using the ICH5-R controller. The ICH-5 provides the following Serial ATA support:

• 150 MB/sec transfer rate.

• Up to two SATA devices on the server board S875WP1-E. These are indicated by the

connectors labeled SATA-B1 and SATA-B2 on the server board.

IDE Interfaces

The ICH5-R IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be independently enabled. The interface handles the exchange of information between the processor and peripheral devices like hard disks and CD-ROM drives. The IDE interfaces supports:

• Up to four IDE devices (such as hard drives).

• ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives).

• Laser servo (LS-120) drives.

• PIO Mode devices.

• Ultra DMA-33: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer

rates of up to 33 MB/sec.

• ATA-100/66: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer

rates of up to 100 MB/sec. The ATA-100/66 protocol is similar to Ultra DMA and is device

driver compatible.



NOTE

ATA-100/66 is a faster timing and requires a specialized cable to reduce reflections, noise, and inductive coupling.

The IDE interfaces also support ATAPI devices (such as CD-ROM drives) and ATA devices using the transfer modes.

The BIOS supports Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and Extended Cylinder Head Sector (ECHS) translation modes. The drive reports the transfer rate and translation mode to the BIOS.

The S875WP1-E server board supports Laser Servo (LS-120) diskette technology through the IDE interfaces. An LS-120 drive can be configured as a boot device by setting the BIOS Setup program’s

Boot menu to one of the following:

• ARMD-FDD (ATAPI removable media device – floppy disk drive)

• ARMD-HDD (ATAPI removable media device – hard disk drive)


Network Interface Controller (NIC)

The server board S875WP1-E supports two Network Interface Controllers (NICs), one that runs at 10/100Mb and is based on the Intel

®

82562ET NIC and the other that runs at one gigabit and is based on the Intel

®

82547EI NIC. When looking at the rear of the chassis, the gigabit NIC is at the left (closest to the video port) and the 10/100Mb NIC is at the right. You can disable either or both

NICs through BIOS Setup.

The 82562ET is controlled by the ICH5-R and supports the following features:

Power Management

Power management is implemented at several levels, including:

• Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)

• Hardware support:

– Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC technology)

– Power connectors

– Fan connectors

– Resume on Ring

– Wake from USB

– Wake from PS/2 keyboard/mouse

– PME# wakeup support

Software Support through ACPI

The Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) – aware operating system can place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. In this state, the power supply is still on and the processors still dissipate some power, so the power supply fan and processor fans are still running.

Under ACPI, the operating system directs all system and device power state transitions. The operating system puts devices in and out of low-power states based on user preferences and knowledge of how devices are being used by applications. Devices that are not being used can be turned off. The operating system uses information from applications and user settings to put the system as a whole into a low-power state.

ACPI features include:

• Plug and Play (including bus and device enumeration).

• Power management control of individual devices, add-in boards (some add-in boards may

require an ACPI-aware driver), video displays, and hard disk drives.

• Methods for achieving less than 15-watt system operation in the power-on/standby

sleeping state.

• A soft-off feature that enables the operating system to power-off the computer.

• Support for multiple wake-up events.

• Support for a front panel power and sleep mode switch.


The Server Board S875WP1-E supports sleep states S0, S1, S2, S3, S4, and S5. When the server board is operating in ACPI mode, the operating system retains control of the system and the operating system policy determines the entry methods and wake-up sources for each sleep state. Sleep entry and wake-up event capabilities are provided by the hardware but are enabled by the operating system.

The following is a summary of the supported sleep states:

• S0: Normal running state.

• S1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will

maintain coherency.

• S3: Suspend to RAM (Instantly Available PC Technology).

• S4: Hibernate or Save to Disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the

power button or another wake-up event restores the system state from the disk and resumes

normal operation. This state assumes that no hardware changes were made to the system

while it was off.

• S5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chipset is running in this state.

CAUTION

The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.

Table 7 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how

ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system.

Notes:

1. For LAN and PME#, S5 is disabled by default in the BIOS Setup program. Setting this option to

Power On will enable a wake-up event from LAN in the S5 state.



NOTE

The use of these wake-up events from an ACPI state requires an operating system that provides full

ACPI support. In addition, software, drivers, and peripherals must fully support ACPI wake events.

LAN Wake

LAN wake capabilities enable remote wake-up of the computer through a network. The LAN subsystem

PCI bus network adapter monitors network traffic at the Media Independent Interface. Upon detecting a Magic Packet frame, the LAN subsystem asserts a wake-up signal that wakes up the computer from ACPI S1, S3, S4, and S5 state.

Depending on the LAN implementation, the S875WP1-E server board supports LAN wake capabilities with ACPI in the following ways:

• The PCI bus PME# signal for PCI 2.2 compliant LAN designs.

• The onboard LAN subsystem.

PCI via PME# Wake-up Support

When the PME# signal on the PCI bus is asserted, the computer wakes from an ACPI S1, S3, S4, or

S5 state (with Wake on PME enabled in BIOS).

Resume on Ring

Resume on Ring enables telephony devices to access the computer when it is in a power-managed state. The operation of Resume on Ring wakes the system from the S1 or S3 sleep states when a signal is sent to the serial port at the rear or the chassis or to an internally installed modem. Resume on ring can be summarized as follows:

• Resumes operation from ACPI S1 or S3 states.

• Requires only one call to access the computer.

• Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems.

• Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation.


Wake from USB

USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.



NOTE

Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.

Wake from PS/2 Devices

PS/2 device activity, such as moving a PS/2 mouse or pressing a key on a PS/2 keyboard, wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 or S3 state.

Hardware Support

The S875WP1-E server board provides several power management hardware features, including:

• Power connector

• Fan connectors

• Instantly Available PC technology

Instantly Available PC technology and LAN Wake require power from the +5V standby line. The sections discussing these features describe the incremental standby power requirements.

CAUTION

Ensure that the power supply provides adequate +5V standby current if Instantly Available PC technology features is used. Failure to do so can damage the power supply. The total amount of standby current required depends on the wake devices supported and manufacturing options.

Power Connector

When used with an ATX12V or EPS12V compliant power supply that supports remote power on/off, the S875WP1-E server board can turn off the system power through software control. When the system BIOS receives the correct command from the operating system, the BIOS turns off power to the computer.

With soft-off enabled, if power to the computer is interrupted by a power outage or a disconnected power cord, when power resumes, the computer returns to the power state it was in before power was interrupted (on or off). The computer’s response can be set using the After Power Failure feature in the BIOS Setup program’s Boot menu.



NOTE

A standard ATX 20 pin power connector and standard ATX 12V 4-pin 2x2 connector can be used to power the S875WP1-E board. Plug the power cables into the pin 1 end of their respective motherboard connectors, leaving pins 21-24 unused on the main power connector and 5-8 unused on the 12V connector.


Fan Connectors

Table 9 summarizes the function/operation of the fan connectors.

Description

• +12V DC connection for a processor fan or active fan heat sink.

• Fan is on in the S0 or S1 state.

Fan is off when the system is off or in the S3, S4, or S5 state.

• Wired to a fan tachometer input of the Hardware Management

ASIC.

• +12 V DC connection for a system or chassis fan.

• Fan is on in the S0 or S1 state.

Fan is off when the system is off or in the S3, S4, or S5 state.

• Wired to a fan tachometer input of the Hardware Management

ASIC (Fans 1, 2, and 4 only).

Instantly Available PC Technology

For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can damage the power supply.

The S875WP1-E server board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification. An add-in board that supports this specification can participate in power management and can be used to wake the computer.

The use of Instantly Available PC technology requires operating system support and PCI 2.2 compliant add-in cards and drivers.

The standby power indicator LED shows that power is still present even when the computer appears to be off. Figure 3 shows the location of the standby power indicator LED.

CAUTION

If AC power has been switched off and the standby power indicator is still lit, disconnect the power cord before installing or removing any devices connected to the board. Failure to do so could damage the board and any attached devices.

Hardware Management and Monitoring

The Hardware Management features enable the board to be compatible with the Wired for

Management (WfM) specification. The board has several hardware management features, including the following:

• Remote temperature sensing near the Vreg

• Power supply monitoring (+5V, +3.3V, 3.3 VSB, +1.5V, and VCCP) to detect levels above

or below acceptable values

• Fan monitoring though four fan tachometer inputs. Monitoring can be implemented using

LANDesk Client Manager or other third-party software.

• Chassis intrusion detection

The server board S875WP1-E has an integrated Hardware Management ASIC that is responsible for hardware monitoring. Together, the Hardware Management ASIC and the LANDesk Client Manager

(LDCM) 6.3 software provide basic server hardware monitoring that alerts a system administrator if a hardware problem occurs on an Intel Server Board S875WP1-E based system.

The LDCM software is for use with Windows

®

2000 Server and Windows

®

2000 Advanced Server operating systems. Other operating systems, such as Red Hat Linux cannot be monitored with

LDCM.

Password Security

The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and who can boot the server. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the Setup menu and for booting the server, with the following restrictions:

• The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options.

If only the supervisor password is set, pressing <Enter> at the password prompt of Setup

gives the user restricted access to Setup.

• If both the supervisor and user passwords are set, you must enter either the supervisor

password or the user password to access Setup. Setup options are then available for viewing

and changing depending on whether the supervisor or user password was entered.


• Setting a user password restricts who can boot the server. The password prompt is displayed

before the server is booted. If only the supervisor password is set, the server boots without

asking for a password. If both passwords are set, you can enter either password to boot

the server.

Real-Time Clock, CMOS SRAM, and Battery

The real-time clock provides a time-of-day clock and a multi-century calendar with alarm features. The real-time clock supports 256 bytes of battery-backed CMOS SRAM in two banks that are reserved for BIOS use.

A coin-cell battery (CR2032) powers the real-time clock and CMOS memory. When the computer is not plugged into a wall socket, the battery has an estimated life of three years. When the computer is plugged in, the standby current from the power supply extends the life of the battery. The clock is accurate to ± 13 minutes/year at 25º C with 3.3 VSB applied.

The time, date, and CMOS values can be specified in the BIOS Setup program. The CMOS values can be returned to their defaults by using the BIOS Setup program.



NOTE

If the battery and AC power fail, custom defaults, will be loaded into CMOS RAM at power-on if the defaults have been previously saved.


Recovering the CMOS

In the unlikely event that the CMOS should be corrupt, it can be cleared by using a jumper setting on the server board. To recover the CMOS and return the settings to the default value:

1. Power down the server and unplug all AC power cables.

2. Remove the cover from the chassis.

3. Move the jumper at jumper block J8G1 to cover pins 2 and three. For the location of jumper

block J8G1, see the figure below.

��

� � �

Figure 6. Location of Clear CMOS Jumper

4. Reattach the AC power cables and power on the server.

5. Power down the server and again remove all AC power cables.

6. Replace the jumper at jumper block J8G1 so that it covers pins 1 and 2.

7. Replace the chassis cover and re-attach the AC power cables.

8. Power on the server.

9. Reconfigure settings as necessary.

BIOS

The S875WP1-E server board uses an Intel

®

/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support.

The S875WP1-E server board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from

64-bit onboard write-protected system memory.

The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code. The initial production BIOS is identified as WP87510A.86B.

When the S875WP1-E server board’s jumper is set to configuration mode and the server is poweredup, the BIOS compares the processor version and the microcode version in the BIOS and reports if the two match.


PCI Auto Configuration

The BIOS can automatically configure PCI devices. PCI devices may be onboard or add-in cards. Auto configuration lets a user insert or remove PCI cards without having to configure the system. When a user turns on the system after adding a PCI card, the BIOS automatically configures interrupts, the

I/O space, and other system resources. Any interrupts set to Available in Setup are considered to be available for use by the add-in card. Auto configuration information is stored in ESCD format.

IDE Auto Configuration

If you select Auto in the BIOS Setup program, the BIOS automatically sets up the two IDE connectors with independent I/O channel support. The IDE interface supports hard drives up to ATA-66/100 and recognizes any ATAPI compliant devices, including CD-ROM drives, tape drives, and Ultra DMA drives.

The BIOS determines the capabilities of each drive and configures them to optimize capacity and performance. To take advantage of the high capacities typically available today, hard drives are automatically configured for Logical Block Addressing (LBA) and to PIO Mode 3 or 4, depending on the capability of the drive. You can override the auto-configuration options by specifying manual configuration in the BIOS Setup program.

To use ATA-66/100 features the following items are required:

• An ATA-66/100 peripheral device.

• An ATA-66/100 compatible cable.

• ATA-66/100 operating system device drivers.



NOTE

ATA-66/100-compatible cables are backward-compatible with drives using slower IDE transfer protocols. If an ATA-66/100 disk drive and a disk drive using any other IDE transfer protocol are attached to the same cable, the maximum transfer rate between the drives is reduced to that of the slowest device.

Boot Options

In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, a hard drive, a CD-

ROM drive, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. The fourth device is disabled.

CD-ROM and Network Boot

Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance with the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM is listed as a boot device. Boot devices are defined in priority order. Accordingly, if there is not a bootable CD in the

CD-ROM drive, the system will attempt to boot from the next defined drive.

The network can be selected as a boot device. This selection allows booting from the on-board NIC or a network add-in card with a remote boot ROM installed.


Booting Without Attached Devices

For use in embedded applications, the BIOS has been designed so that after passing the POST, the operating system loader is invoked even if the following devices are not present:

• Video adapter

• Keyboard

• Mouse

Fast Booting Systems with Intel

®

Rapid BIOS Boot

These factors affect system boot speed:

• Selecting and configuring peripherals properly.

• Using an optimized BIOS, such as the Intel

®

Rapid BIOS.

Intel

®

Rapid BIOS Boot

Using the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time. In the Boot Menu:

• Set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the POST does not first seek

a diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time.

• Disable Quiet Boot, which eliminates display of the logo splash screen. This could save several

seconds of painting complex graphic images and changing video modes.

• Enabled Intel

®

Rapid BIOS Boot. This feature bypasses memory count and the search for

a diskette drive.



NOTE

It is possible to optimize the boot process to the point where the system boots so quickly that the

Intel logo screen (or a custom logo splash screen) will not be seen. Monitors and hard disk drives with minimum initialization times can also contribute to a boot time that might be so fast that necessary logo screens and POST messages cannot be seen.

This boot time may be so fast that some drives might be not be initialized at all. If this condition should occur, it is possible to introduce a programmable delay ranging from three to 30 seconds (using the

Hard Disk Pre-Delay feature of the Advanced Menu in the Drive Configuration Submenu of the BIOS

Setup program).
