Memory.mirroring.and.sparing.technology

The Intel ® 5000P chipset supports the memory mirroring and sparing technology.

Refer to the below sections:

Memory.Mirroring

When enabling memory mirroring function in the BIOS setting (refer to section.

“5.4.2 Chipset Configuration” and configure the option “Memory Branch

Mode” as Mirror), Branch 1 contains a replicate copy of the data in Branch 0. The

DIMMs must cover the same slot position on both branches. DIMMs that cover a slot position must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization.

DIMMs within a slot position must match each other, but are not required to match adjacent slot positions.

The.total.memories.size.will.be.the.half.of.all.installed.memories..

The below memory configurations were required to operate in mirrored mode.

Configuration 1 (Mirroring): Four memories population

Memory.Sparing.

At configuration time, a DIMM rank is set aside to replace a defective DIMM rank.

When the error rate for a failing DIMM rank reaches a pre-determined threshold, the memory sparing function will issue an interrupt and initiate a spare copy. At the completion of the copy, the failing DIMM rank is disabled and the “spared” DIMM rank will be used in its place. Refer to section “5.4.2 Chipset Configuration and configure the options of “Branch 0 Rank Sparing” or “Branch 1 Rank Sparing” to enable the memory sparing functions. The default BIOS setting is disabled.

• Each branch contains its own sparing engine and can be enabled or disabled separately.

• This motherboard does not support rank sparing across branches.

• This motherboard does not support rank sparing when in mirror mode.

• The DIMM rank with the largest size will be assigned as spare rank. Data can only be copied from a smaller sized rank to a larger sized one.

• A DIMM can contain only one or two ranks. To support sparing function, a

DIMM channel should contain at least two ranks.

• When sparing function is enabled, the usable memory size will reduce the size of the spare ranks.

4.2 Support kits for the motherboard

For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as weight support. Install the CEK springs if you want to install a new motherboard.

If your chassis is SSI EEB 3.61 compliant, we recommend that you use the CEK springs; otherwise, use the support plates kit.

Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the designated holes around the CPU area.

Hook

To install the CEK spring:

1. Locate the CPU heatsink holes on the motherboard.

Socket for CPU1

Heatsink hole

Socket for CPU2

2. Position the CEK spring underneath the motherboard, then match the

CEK spring hooks to the CPU1 heatsink holes.


3. Press the upper spring hooks inward, then insert to the upper

CPU heatsink holes until they snap in place.

4. Press the lower spring clips inward, then insert to the lower

CPU heatsink holes until they snap in place.

5. If you installed a second CPU, repeat steps 2 to 4 to install the CEK spring to the CPU2 heatsink holes.

6. Install the motherboard with the external I/O ports toward the chassis rear panel. The CPU sockets should be right on top of their respective standoffs.

CPU1 socket

CPU2 socket

Make sure that the standoffs perfectly match the CEK spring screw holes; otherwise, you can not install the CPU heatsinks properly.

7. Secure the motherboard with screws. Refer to section “4.1.1 Screw holes” for illustration.

4.3 Jumpers

1.. Clear.RTC.RAM.(CLRTC1)

This jumper allows you to clear the Real Time Clock (RTC) RAM in CMOS.

You can clear the CMOS memory of date, time, and system setup parameters by erasing the CMOS RTC RAM data. The onboard button cell battery powers the RAM data in CMOS, which include system setup information such as system passwords.

To erase the RTC RAM:

1. Turn OFF the computer and unplug the power cord.

2. Remove the onboard battery.

3. Move the jumper cap from pins 1-2 (default) to pins 2-3. Keep the cap on pins 2-3 for about 5~10 seconds, then move the cap back to pins 1-2.

4. Reinstall the battery.

5. Plug the power cord and turn ON the computer.

6. Hold down the <Del> key during the boot process and enter BIOS setup to re-enter data.

Except when clearing the RTC RAM, never remove the cap on CLRTC jumper default position. Removing the cap will cause system boot failure!

5.2 BIOS setup program

This motherboard supports a programmable Low-Pin Count (LPC) chip that you can update using the provided utility described in section “4.1 Managing and updating your BIOS.”

Use the BIOS Setup program when you are installing a motherboard, reconfiguring your system, or prompted to “Run Setup.” This section explains how to configure your system using this utility.

Even if you are not prompted to use the Setup program, you can change the configuration of your computer in the future. For example, you can enable the security password feature or change the power management settings. This requires you to reconfigure your system using the BIOS Setup program so that the computer can recognize these changes and record them in the CMOS RAM of the

LPC chip.

The LPC chip on the motherboard stores the Setup utility. When you start up the computer, the system provides you with the opportunity to run this program. Press

<Del> during the Power-On Self-Test (POST) to enter the Setup utility; otherwise,

POST continues with its test routines.

If you wish to enter Setup after POST, restart the system by pressing

<Ctrl+Alt+Delete>, or by pressing the reset button on the system chassis. You can also restart by turning the system off and then back on. Do this last option only if the first two failed.

The Setup program is designed to make it as easy to use as possible. Being a menu-driven program, it lets you scroll through the various sub-menus and make your selections from the available options using the navigation keys.

• The default BIOS settings for this motherboard apply for most conditions to ensure optimum performance. If the system becomes unstable after changing any BIOS settings, load the default settings to ensure system compatibility and stability. Select the Load Default Settings item under the

Exit Menu. See section “4.8 Exit Menu.”

• The BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference purposes only, and may not exactly match what you see on your screen.

RAID Configuration

6-2

6.1 Setting up RAID

The motherboard comes with the following RAID solutions:

• LSI1068 PCI-X SAS controller supports SAS disk drives and RAID0, RAID1, and RAID1E configuration.

6.1.1 RAID definitions

RAID.0 (Data striping) optimizes two identical hard disk drives to read and write data in parallel, interleaved stacks. Two hard disks perform the same work as a single drive but at a sustained data transfer rate, double that of a single disk alone, thus improving data access and storage. Use of two new identical hard disk drives is required for this setup.

RAID.1

(Data mirroring) copies and maintains an identical image of data from one drive to a second drive. If one drive fails, the disk array management software directs all applications to the surviving drive as it contains a complete copy of the data in the other drive. This RAID configuration provides data protection and increases fault tolerance to the entire system. Use two new drives or use an existing drive and a new drive for this setup. The new drive must be of the same size or larger than the existing drive.

RAID.1-E (Enhanced RAID 1) has a striped layout with each stripe unit having a secondary (or alternate) copy stored on a different disk. You can use three or more hard disk drives for this configuration.

RAID.5 stripes both data and parity information across three or more hard disk drives. Among the advantages of RAID 5 configuration include better HDD performance, fault tolerance, and higher storage capacity. The RAID 5 configuration is best suited for transaction processing, relational database applications, enterprise resource planning, and other business systems. Use a minimum of three identical hard disk drives for this setup. Available when you install an optional

ZCR.

If you want to boot the system from a hard disk drive included in a created RAID set, copy first the RAID driver from the support CD to a floppy disk before you install an operating system to the selected hard disk drive.

Chapter 6: RAID configuration

6.1.2.

Installing.hard.disk.drives

The motherboard supports Serial ATA for RAID set configuration. For optimal performance, install identical drives of the same model and capacity when creating a disk array.

To install the SATA hard disks for RAID configuration:

1. Install the SATA hard disks into the drive bays following the instructions in the system user guide.

2. Connect a SATA signal cable to the signal connector at the back of each drive and to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

3. Connect a SATA power cable to the power connector on each drive.

6.1.3.

Setting.the.RAID.item.in.BIOS

You must set the RAID item in the BIOS Setup before you can create a RAID set from SATA hard disk drives attached to the SATA connectors supported by the

Intel ® 6321ESB Southbridge chip. To do this:

1. Enter the BIOS Setup during POST.

2. Go to the Main.Menu > IDE Configuration > S-ATA Configuration, then press <Enter>.

3. Set the SATA.Controller.Mode.Option item to [Enhanced], then press

<Enter>.

4. Set the SATA.RAID.Enable item to [Enabled].

5. Save your changes, then exit the BIOS Setup.

Refer to Chapter 5 for details on entering and navigating through the BIOS

Setup.

6.1.4 RAID configuration utilities

Depending on the RAID connectors that you use, you can create a RAID set using the utilities embedded in each RAID controller. For example, use the LSI Logic

Embedded SATA RAID Setup Utility or the Intel

Intel ® 6321ESB Southbridge.

® Matrix Storage Manager if you installed Serial ATA hard disk drives on the Serial ATA connectors supported by the

You may use the LSI1068 SAS Configuration Utility if you installed SAS hard disk drives to the mini-SAS connector(s) supported by the LSI1068 PCI-X SAS controller.

Refer to the succeeding sections for details on how to use LSI1068 SAS

Configuration Utility.

6.2 LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility

The LSI Logic MPT Setup Utility is an integrated RAID solution that allows you to allows you to create the following RAID set(s) from SAS hard disk drives supported by the LSI1068 PCI-X SAS controller:

•

•

•

RAID 1 (Integrated Mirroring)

RAID 1E (Integrated Mirroring Enhanced)

RAID 0 (Integrated Striping)

6.2.1.

Integrated.Mirroring

Overview

The Integrated Mirroring (IM) feature supports simultaneous mirrored volumes with two disks (IM). Integrated Mirroring Enhanced (IME) supports three to eight disks, or seven mirrored disks plus a hot spare disk.

The IM feature supports hot swap capability, so when a disk in an IM volume failes, you can easily restore the volume, and the swapped disk is automatically remirrored.

Creating.Integrated.Mirroring.volumes

• You may use disks of different sized in IM and IME volumes; however, the size of the smallest disk determines the “logical” size of each member disk.

• Do not combine Serial ATA and SAS disks in one volume.

• The RAID BIOS setup screens shown in this section are for reference only and may not exactly match the items on your screen.

To create an IM volume:

1. Turn on the system after installing all SAS hard disk drives.

2. During POST, press <Ctrl+C> to enter the SAS configuration utility.
