Processor
The Intel
®
Server Board SE7501CW2 accommodates one or two Intel Xeon processors with 512KB
L2 cache via two SKT604 604-pin zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets. The processors interface with the system bus at 533 MHz and are backwards compatible to 400 MHz. When only one processor is installed, it should be in the socket labeled CPU1.
For a complete list of supported processors, see:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2
Dual Processor Operation
The Intel Xeon processor interface is dual processor (DP) ready. Each processor contains a local
Intel
®
Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) section for interrupt handling. When two processors are installed, both processors must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core speeds.
Boxed Processor Fan Heat Sink
A processor wind tunnel is supplied with the boxed Intel Xeon processor. After the processor and heat sink are installed, install and connect the processor wind tunnel. For proper processor cooling, the fan inlet air temperature should be below 45 °C.
✏
NOTE
Heat sink styles vary. If your heat sink has a flat end, the flat surface must be installed so that it faces the rear of the chassis. See the installation instructions in Chapter 3.
CAUTION
Clearance is required at each end of the fan heat sink to ensure unimpeded airflow for proper cooling. Restricting the airflow through the processor heat sink can cause overheating and subsequent failure of the processor.

Description 11
Super I/O
The Server Board SE7501CW2 uses the Winbond W83627HF Super I/O Plug and Play Compatible with ACPI-Compliant Controller/Extender. This device provides the system with the following:
•
Two serial ports
•
One parallel port
•
Floppy disk controller
•
PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse controller
•
Two ATA 100 IDE channels
•
Hardware monitor controller
The server board provides the connector interface for the floppy disk drive, dual serial ports, parallel port, PS/2 mouse, and PS/2 keyboard.
Serial Ports
The server board provides one DB9 connector on the back panel for serial port A. Serial port A is compatible with 16550A and 16450 modes. The port can be set to one of four different COM ports, and each can be enabled separately. When enabled, each port can be programmed to generate edge- or level-sensitive interrupts. When disabled, serial port interrupts are available to add-in cards.
A DH10 10-pin serial header is available on the baseboard for an optional serial port B.
Parallel Port
The Server Board SE7501CW2 provides a 25-pin parallel port back panel connector. The Super
I/O provides an IEEE 1284–compliant 25-pin bidirectional parallel port. BIOS programming of the
Super I/O registers enables the parallel port and determines the port address and interrupt. When disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in cards.
Floppy Disk Connector
The floppy disk connector on the server board provides the interface to the floppy disk drive from the floppy disk controller.
Keyboard and Mouse Connectors
The separate keyboard and mouse connectors, found on the back panel of the server board, are
PS/2-compatible. The keyboard and mouse connectors are interchangeable.
12 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Memory
The Server Board SE7501CW2 contains four 184-pin DIMM sockets and provides up to 8 GB of memory. Memory is partitioned as two banks of DDR DIMMs, each of which provides 144 bits of two-way interleaved memory.
The server board supports up to four ECC DDR DIMMs that are compliant with the JEDEC
DDR200 / 266 specification. A range of DIMM sizes is supported, including the following:
•
128 MB
•
256 MB
•
512 MB
•
1 GB
•
2 GB
The minimum supported memory configuration is 128 MB with a single 128 MB DIMM in the
Bank 1, DIMM 1A socket. When two DIMMS are used, the minimum memory configuration is
256 MB, with Bank 1 fully populated by two 128 MB DIMMs. For a list of supported memory, see
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/
For maximum performance and data protection, each bank should be fully populated with two
DIMMs. For cost conscious designs, the system can be operated when Bank 1 contains a single
DIMM. When a single DIMM is used, it must be in the DIMM 1A socket. If only a single DIMM is populated in Bank 1, then interleaving and Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction are unavailable.
Bank 2 can only operate with two DIMMs installed. Before Bank 2 can be used, Bank 1 must be fully populated (DIMMs installed in both Bank 1 sockets).
DIMMs must be installed in pairs and must be populated starting with DIMM 1A and 1B (see
Figure 14 on page 61 for the locations of the DIMM connectors). Although the Server Board
SE7501CW2 architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of DIMMs between banks, DIMMs must be identical within the banks.

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.
✏
NOTE
ACPI requires an operating system that supports this feature.
The Server Board SE7501CW2 supports sleep states S0, 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. Following is a summary of the supported sleep states:
•
S0: Normal running state.
•
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.
AC Link Mode
The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that if AC input power is lost and then restored, the system returns to one of the following preselected settings:
•
Last State (Factory Default Setting)
•
Stay Off
The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility.
Wakeup Events
The server board supports Wake on LAN and Wake on Ring wakeup events.
Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN allows system power to be activated through the network. If the system is in the S4 state, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet to the remote system. The system contains a configuration option that allows the on-board NICs to be enabled to wake the system from a S4 or S5 sleep state, even if the operating system disabled.
Description 19
Wake on Ring
Wake on Ring allows system power to be activated through the serial ports when this option is enabled in Setup. If the system is in the S4 state, it can be turned on remotely by the Ring Indicate
RI signals from the serial ports.
Security
The Server Board SE7501CW2 BIOS provides the ability to secure itself. Table 4 summarizes the
security options available in the BIOS.
Table 4. Security Operation Summary
Mode
Entry Method/
Event
Entry
Criteria
User
Password on boot
(AT style)

Behavior
System halts for
User Password before booting. The system is not in secure mode.
Except for the password, no mouse or keyboard input is accepted.
Exit Criteria
User password followed by
[Enter]
After Exit
Power and Reset switches are enabled.
Keyboard and mouse inputs are accepted. The system boots normally. Boot sequence is determined by setup options.
Password Protection
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Once secure mode is entered, access to the system is allowed only after the correct password(s) has been entered.
Both user and supervisor passwords are supported by the BIOS. The user password cannot be set unless a supervisor password has been set.
When set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. Clearing the supervisor password also clears the user password. Entering the user password permits modification of the time, date, language, user password, and password on boot setup fields; other setup fields can be modified only if the supervisor password is entered. The user password also allows the system to boot, if secure boot is enabled.
If a wrong password is entered three times in a row, the BIOS stops validating passwords and the
BIOS security engine returns a failure for any further password validation attempt. If the user enters three wrong passwords in a row during the boot sequence (i.e., when entering Setup), the system is placed into a halt state. This feature makes is difficult to break the password by the “trial and error” method.
20 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Using Passwords
If only the supervisor password is set, you:
•
Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup.
•
Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the
BIOS Setup.
•
Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.
If both passwords are set, you:
•
May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup. However, you will not be able to change many of the options.
•
Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup and have access to all of the options.
•
May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the BIOS Setup.
•
May enter either password to exit secure mode.
Password Clear Jumper
If the user or supervisor password(s) is (are) lost or forgotten, booting the system with the password clear jumper into the “clear” position clears both passwords. The password clear jumper must be restored to its original position before a new password(s) can be set. The password clear jumper is located on jumper block J32 pins [1-2] on the Server Board SE7501CW2.

2 Configuration Software and Utilities
This chapter describes the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and server configuration utilities. Table 5
briefly describes the utilities.
Table 5. Configuration Utilities
BIOS Setup
Page
BIOS Upgrade
Utility
If the system does not have a diskette drive or the drive is disabled or misconfigured, use BIOS Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the server board from the default setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this position will allow most server configurations to boot. Then use the recovery disk to recover.
Use to upgrade the BIOS.
Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the BIOS begins executing the Power-On Self-Test (POST), which is stored in flash memory. POST discovers, configures, and tests the processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test. The time needed to test memory depends on the amount of memory installed.
1. Turn on your video monitor and server. After a few seconds POST begins to run.
2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages appear:
Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP
3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process continues, and the system beeps once. Then this message appears:
Operating system not found
4. Press <Esc> during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. From this menu you can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup.
What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating system loaded and if so, which one.
If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a fatal system error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears.
Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your service representative. For a listing of common beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.

Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options. Use BIOS Setup to change the server configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For
instructions on clearing the CMOS, see Clearing the CMOS on page 85.
Starting Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
•
When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test
•
When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS” position
(enabled)
In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
Setup Menus
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for information purposes, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters.
Parameters may be changed depending upon the security option chosen. If a value is not changeable due to insufficient security privileges (or other reasons), the feature’s value field becomes inaccessible.
The bottom portion of the BIOS Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used for
navigating the Setup utility. Table 6 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS
Setup menus.

F5/-
Help - Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window.
The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu item’s option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the selected item.
Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a menu item’s option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the Enter key activates the selected item.
Change Value - The minus key or the F5 function key is used to change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list.
F6/+ Change Value - The plus key or the F6 function key is used to change the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect.
<Enter> Execute Command - The Enter key is used to activate submenus when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a selected feature has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
<Esc> Exit - The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
<F9> Setup Defaults - Pressing F9 causes the following to appear:
<F10>
Setup Confirmation
Load default configuration now?
[Yes] [No]
If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all Setup fields are set to their default values. If
“No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F9 was pressed without affecting any existing field values.
Save and Exit - Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear:
Setup Confirmation
Save Configuration changes and exit now?
[Yes] [NO]
If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If
“No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F10 was pressed without affecting any existing values.

CAUTIONS
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 you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices & 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.
Server Board Installation 51
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection:
ESD can damage disk 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 your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards:
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to 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 you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your 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 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 you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the stake pins on the board.

Installing or Replacing the Processor(s)
NOTES
Use the instructions provided below to install or replace a processor instead of using the instructions that came with the processor.
If you are installing only one processor, it must be installed in the labeled
CPU1. This socket is located closest to the corner of the server board.
If you are installing a second processor, verify that the second processor is identical to the first processor, same voltage and speed. Do not mix processors of different types or frequencies.
CAUTIONS
Processor must be appropriate:
You may damage the server board if you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability, contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer
Support website: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2
ESD and handling processors:
Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
If you are adding a second processor to your system, you must verify that the second processor is identical to the first processor, same voltage and speed.
Using non-identical processors could cause system failure.
Installing the Processor(s)
Use these instructions if you are installing a processor and the Processor Wind Tunnel (PWT) in the
Server Chassis SC5200 base or Base Redundant Power, in the Server Chassis SC5250-E, or in a reference chassis.
If you are replacing a processor for which the PWT has already been installed, follow the
instructions provided on page 68 titled, “Replacing a Processor.”
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional precautions given here.
2. Remove power from your system by unplugging the AC power cord.

Solving Problems 81
Recovering the BIOS
In the rare event that the BIOS becomes damaged, a recovery process needs to be followed to return the system to service. Two methods are available to recover the BIOS: automatically with the crisis recovery diskette, and manually by moving a jumper on the system board. These methods are described below.
✏
NOTE
BIOS recovery is the mode of last resort, used only when the main system
BIOS will not come up.
Recovering the BIOS with the Crisis Recovery Diskette
Automatically Recovering the BIOS
If a ROM checksum error occurs during POST, the system will automatically enter BIOS recovery mode. This is indicated by system beeping with one long beep followed by two short beeps. When you hear this beep pattern, use the following steps to initiate an automatic recovery:
1. Insert the Crisis Recovery Diskette into the A: diskette drive. (See the section titled Crisis
Recovery Diskette on page 47 for instructions on creating the diskette.)
2. A blue screen will be displayed and the recovery process will automatically run. The system will continue to beep throughout the recovery process. The recovery process is complete when the beeping stops.
3. Remove the diskette and power down the system.
4. Power the system up to restart it and confirm that the recovery was successful.
82 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Manually Recovering the BIOS
A BIOS recovery can also be manually initiated. This option would be used only when the BIOS is corrupt, but the ROM checksum error does not occur during POST. To manually initiate a BIOS recovery, use the following steps:
1. Power down and uplug the system from the AC power source.
2. Move the recovery jumper at J32 from the spare location at pins 9 and 10 to cover pins 3 and 4.
See the figure below.
