Power Backpanel Board Component Locations System Overview 1-15 System Board Set Features The following subsections provide a description of the system board set features. Pentium III Xeon Processor Depending on system configuration, each system includes one to four Pentium III Xeon processors. Each Pentium III Xeon processor is packaged in a Single Edge Contact Cartridge (S.E.C.). The cartridge includes the processor core with an integrated 16 KB primary (L1) cache, a secondary (L2) cache (1MB or 2MB), thermal plate, and a cover. The processor implements the MMX™ technology and the processor’s numeric coprocessor significantly increases the speed of floating-point operations. The processor external interface operates at a maximum of 100 MHz. The second-level cache is located on the substrate of the processor cartridge. The cache includes burst pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM). System Memory The memory board contains sixteen 168-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as four groups of registered SDRAM DIMMs (PC100 compatible), each providing 72 bits of 4 way interleaved memory (64-bit main memory plus ECC). Your system may include from 64 MB to 16 GB of memory, using up to sixteen DIMMs. ECC generation/checking is provided for detection and correction of memory errors. Note: Only use DIMMs approved for use in this server system. Call your customer service representative for information. I/O Expansion Slots The server's expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for high performance I/O by providing a combination of 32-bit and 64-bit PCI expansion slots. The system board has two full-length 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI connector slots (see A in Figure 1-9), two full-length 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI connector slots and four 64-bit 33MHz PCI connector slots (see B in Figure 1-9. PCI features: ! Bus speed up to 66 MHz (PCI#3 and PCI#4) ! Bus speed up to 33 MHz (two 32-bit and four 64-bit PCI slots) ! 32-bit memory addressing ! Burst transfers up to a peak of 132 MB/s (32 bit, 33 MHz PCI) and 264 MB/s (64 bit, 33 MHz PCI) and 528 MB/s (64 bit, 66 MHz PCI) ! 8-, 16-, 32-, or 64-bit data transfers ! Plug and Play ready !

PCI Connector Slots System Overview 1-17 SAF-TE Controller The system has an SAF-TE (SCSI Accessed Fault Tolerant Enclosure) controller that provides an interface to the disk subsystem that supports status signals, hot swapping drives, and enclosure monitoring. The transport mechanism for the standardized alert detection and status reporting is the SCSI bus. Disk drives, power supplies, cooling fans, and temperature are continually monitored and the conditions then reported over the SCSI bus to the system. When used with RAID management software the user can be alerted of impending or imminent conditions requiring attention. This allows the user to react to conditions that could normally go unnoticed until data loss. Real-Time Clock/Calendar The real-time clock provides system clock/calendar information stored in a non-volatile memory (NVRAM). The real-time clock battery provides power backup for the realtime clock. BIOS The BIOS and Setup Utility are located in the Flash EPROM on the system board and include support for system setup and legacy device configuration. A number of security, reliability, and management features also have been incorporated to meet vital server needs. Controllers The following provides a description of the controllers. IDE Controller The system includes a single channel enhanced IDE 32 bit interface that supports one master device only. The IDE controller provides support for the internally mounted CDROM. The device controls: ! PIO and DMA transfer modes ! Mode 4 timings ! Transfer rates up to 33 MB/s ! Buffering for PCI/IDE burst transfers ! Master IDE mode. Keyboard and Mouse Controller The keyboard and mouse controller is PS/2 compatible. 1-18 System Overview Network Controller The system board includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network controller based on the Intel 82559 Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. As a PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at up to 132 MB/sec. The controller contains two receive and transmit FIFO buffers that prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus. The controller has the following: ! 32-bit PCI bus master interface (direct drive of bus), compatible with PCI Bus Specification, Revision 2.1 ! Chained memory structure with improved dynamic transmit chaining for enhanced performance ! Programmable transmit threshold for improved bus utilization ! Early receive interrupt for concurrent processing of receive data ! On-chip counters for network management ! Autodetect and autoswitching for 10 or 100 Mbps network speeds ! Support for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps networks, capable of full or half duplex, with back-to-back transmit at 100 Mbps ! Support for Wake On LAN. SCSI Controller The system board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC7880 SCSI controller and an Adaptec AIC7899 dual function SCSI controller. The AIC7880 provides one UltraWide SCSI device interface and the AIC7899 provides two Ultra160/m SCSI interfaces as two independent SCSI functions. As implemented on the system board, the AIC7880 Ultra-Wide channel has one connection to the external connector on the rear of the chassis and another connection to the 5.25-inch devices in the removable media bays. Channel A of the AIC7899 controller is connected to the SCSI backpanel associated with the standard SCSI hard disk drive bays that supports up to five Ultra160/m SCA hard disk drives.. Channel B of the AIC7899 controller is connected to the SCSI backpanel associated with the optional SCSI hard disk drive bays that supports up to five Ultra160/m SCA hard disk drives. Video Controller The system has an integrated ATI Rage IIC 64 bit high-performance SVGA subsystem that supports the following: ! BIOS compatibility with VGA, EGA, CGA, Hercules Graphics, and MDA ! 4 MB of 10 ns onboard Synchronous Graphics Memory (SGRAM) ! Pixel resolutions up to 1280 X 1024 ! Analog VGA monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced and noninterlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace noninterlaced frequency of 100 Hz. System Overview 1-19 Peripheral Controller The advanced integrated peripheral controller supports two serial ports, two universal serial bus ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse, and integrated Real Time Clock (RTC). The system provides the connector interface for each port. Serial Ports Both serial ports are relocatable. Each serial port can be set to one of four different COM ports and can be enabled separately. When disabled, serial port interrupts are available to add-in boards. Parallel Port One IEEE 1284-compatible 25-pin bidirectional EPP (supporting levels 1.7 and 1.9) parallel port is provided. BIOS programming enables the parallel port and determines the port address and interrupt. ECP mode is supported with 2 possible DMA channels. When disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in boards. 1-20 System Overview System Board Management Controller (BMC) Server management is concentrated in the System Board Management Controller (BMC). The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from a 5Vdc standby voltage, which remains active when system power is switched off, but the ac power source is still on and connected. The BMC supports the Management Workstation Application (MWA), which allows remote server management via a modem, LAN, or direct connection to a manager system. Events monitored by the manager system include over-temperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. Information on the Management Workstation Application (MWA) in the ESMPRO Suite User’s Guide on the ESMPRO Suite 1.9 CD-ROM. One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management events, and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). The events being monitored include overtemperature and overvoltage conditions, fan failure, or chassis intrusion. To enable accurate monitoring, the BMC maintains the nonvolatile Sensor Data Record (SDR), from which sensor information can be retrieved. The BMC provides an ISA host interface to SDR sensor information, so that software running on the server can poll and retrieve the server's current status. The BMC performs the following: ! Monitors server board temperature and voltage ! Monitors processor presence and controls Fault Resilient Boot (FRB) ! Detects and indicates baseboard fan failure ! Manages the SEL interface ! Manages the SDR Repository interface ! Monitors the SDR/SEL timestamp clock ! Monitors the system management watchdog timer ! Monitors the periodic SMI timer ! Monitors the event receiver ! Controls secure mode, including video blanking, diskette write-protect monitoring, and front panel lock/unlock initiation ! Controls Wake On LAN via Magic Packet support. External Device Connectors The external I/O connectors provide support for a PS/2 compatible mouse and a keyboard, for a SVGA monitor, 2 serial port connectors, a parallel port connector, LAN port, two USB ports, and one external-SCSI connector. System Overview 1-21 System Power The server may be configured with up to three 450-Watt power supplies for maximum system power of 600 Watts. Each supply has autoranging input 50/60 Hz and automatically switches between the following input voltage ranges: ! 100-127 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 7.6 A maximum current ! 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 3.8 A maximum current All output grounds connect to the power supply chassis and to earth ground through the AC line cord. Each supply has: ! Individual AC input line cord that plugs into the external side of the power supply ! Isolating device on each DC output so that the failure of one supply does not affect the operation of the others ! Cooling fan integral with each power supply enclosure. The fan circuit implements fan failure detection. In a system, power is drawn equally from all supplies installed. A four processor system with two power supplies can be fully loaded (all drive bays and add-in board slots filled). The power supplies use a forced current-sharing technique that ensures the supplies share within 10 percent at full load. In a high-access system with three power supplies, the additional supply gives redundancy, because the load is redistributed if one supply fails. Also with the third power supply installed all the power supplies are now hot-swappable and can be easily installed or removed from the server without turning system power off. Peripheral Bays The system supports a variety of standard PC AT-compatible peripheral devices. The chassis includes these peripheral bays: ! A 3.5-inch front panel bay for mounting the standard 3.5" diskette drive (supports 720 KB and 1.44 MB diskette media) ! Two 5.25-inch removable media front panel bays for mounting half-height 5.25-inch peripheral devices: optional tape drives and optional additional CD ROM drive, etc. ! A front panel bay for mounting the standard CD-ROM drive. ! One standard and one optional hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive bay for mounting up to ten SCSI hard disk drives (five disk drives per bay) in easily removable drive carriers. Each drive has a set of two lights to indicate the fault or other status: poweron (green LED), activity (green LED, and fault (yellow LED). Note: The SCSI hard disk drive bays contain a hot-swap back panel that require an 80-pin single connector attachment (SCA) connector on the drives that you install. 1-22 System Overview Disk Array The optional disk array controller board is a PCI board (standard on tower-based systems) that improves data reliability. The disk array controller board allows the hard disk drives in the SCSI hard disk drive bays and additional optional disk expansion unit to support disk array configuration RAID levels 0, 1, and 5. RAID is an acronym of “Redundant Arrays of Inexpensive (Independent) Disks”. It logically integrates several hard disks to appear to the system as only one disk drive. Using the disk array method, the large-capacity hard disk can be configured with several inexpensive and small-capacity hard disks. It can also enhance the drive by improving the reliability and supporting an automatic rebuilding function. All RAID levels are common in their basic operation due the fact that several hard disks can be recognized as one disk drive. However, performance, cost, and use are conditions that vary according to the RAID level. You should select an appropriate configuration that is suitable for your system. Features and selection examples of different RAID levels are shown below. Level Definition Redundancy Feature Suitable application Minimum No. of disks RAID0 Striping No Access: high-speed. Application that needs high performance for non-critical data 2 RAID1 Mirroring (or shadowing) Yes Dual disk system. Application that needs to store important files on main system drive 2 Application that needs to store important data. 3 Read mode: highspeed Write mode: slower than RAID 0 RAID5 Striped data and parity Yes Parity data. Transfers large amount of data. Write mode: slower than RAID 0 Application of read-intensive type data searching. This unit supports other RAID levels as well. However, it is not recommended to use them unless absolutely necessary. System Overview 1-23 Automatic Rebuilding Function The server supports the disk array automatic rebuilding function for data recovery. Note: The automatic rebuilding function supports a disk array configuration of RAID levels, RAID1 or RAID5. Rebuilding is to regenerate all data from a failed disk to a replacement disk. A rebuild is necessary after a failed disk drive is replaced with a new one. In disk array configuration RAID levels, RAID1 or RAID5 the failed disk does not affect the operation. However, if another disk error occurs before automatic rebuilding, the data may be destroyed. To prevent such an accident, it will rebuild after the failed disk has been replaced. In a conventional server, the user must select and execute automatic rebuilding using various utilities. The server executes rebuilding automatically. Since the server also supports hot-swapping function, the failed disk can be replaced while the power is on. Observe the following when using an automatic rebuilding function. ! Do not turn the power off. If power is turned off, automatic rebuilding will not start. ! Use an interval of 60 seconds or more between mounting and dismounting the hard disk drive. ! If a hard disk is being rebuilt, do not replace the hard disk. Expand Capacity Function Disk pack capacity can be expanded by adding a disk drive while the system is running. This function is only supported if the server is in the disk array configuration mode. This function does not utilize operations such as data backup, pack reconfiguration, initialization, restoring the data. If a hard disk is added under the operation of the Global Array Manager, perform the following. ! After the hard disk is installed, wait for about 60 seconds and click the Scan Device key. Clicking the Scan Device key after the execution of the expand array operation, will display the added disk correctly. 1-24 System Overview System Functions The following subsections describe select system functions. Hot Swapping Hot swapping allows a device to be replaced, such as a hard disk drive while its power is on, as listed below. ! Disk array system: Any failed hard disk drive can be replaced while the system is running. ! Hot swap fans: Any one of the two system fan modules (three fans per module) can be replaced while the system power is on. ! Power redundant system: When three power supplies are installed on the four processor system a failed power supply can be replaced by hot swapping. Hot Plug PCI Hot Plug PCI bus slots are located under the Hot Plug PCI Bay door of the server (see Figure 1-9). This PCI bus allows devices to be installed or removed while the server is powered on (if the operating system supports the Hot Plug PCI function.) Note: Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Hot Plug PCI function. Fans In addition to the power supply fans, the server has six system fans contained in two fan modules (three fans per module) cabled to the system board. The six fans (front and rear) are hot swappable and redundant in configuration. If one fan fails, its associated fan changes to high speed operation. For hot-swap fan numbering see Figure 1-10. For fan module POST error codes and system event log (SEL) information see Table 1-6. System Overview 1-25 B A A B Fan module 0 Fan module 1 Figure 1-10 Hot Swap Fan Modules Table 1-6. Hot-Swap Fan Module POST Error Codes and System Event Log (SEL) Information Item Fan Module 0 Fan module 1 POST Error Codes Error Code 0B30 0B31 0B32 Fan 1 2 3 Error Code 0B33 0B34 0B35 Fan 4 5 6 System Event Log (SEL) Error Code 40h 41h 42h Fan 1 2 3 Error Code 43h 44h 45h Fan 4 5 6 Sleep Mode The SLEEP mode switch on the front of the server is used for saving power. If the SLEEP mode switch is pressed, then the server enters into the sleep state (the Drive Bay Power lamp and the Power lamp will blink simultaneously). In the power saving mode, the memory data and the states of the jobs are kept unchanged. In addition, the server in the power saving mode can accept accesses to hard disks from other machines on the network and perform other network jobs. Sleep mode requires an operating system that supports its function. Note: Windows NT 4.0 does not support the Sleep mode function. 1-26 System Overview ACPI The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system can place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, some system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, in this state the power supply is still on and the processors are still dissipating some power such that the power supply fan and processor fans are still running. Note: ACPI requires an operating system that supports its feature. This server system BIOS supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. However, with future versions of Microsoft Windows 9X that support ACPI, the system BIOS only supports sleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows NT that support ACPI, the system BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. ! CAUTION Only when the AC power is disconnected is the system completely off. The sleep states are defined as follows: ! s0: Normal running state. ! s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will maintain coherency. ! s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button or other wakeup event restores the system state from the disk and resumes normal operation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the system while it was off. ! s5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chip set and the BMC are running in this state. AC Link Mode The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that when the AC input power is lost and then restored the system will return itself to one of three preselected settings, listed as follows: ! Power On ! Last State (Factory Default Setting) ! Stay Off. The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility (F2). Refer to Chapter 3 "Configuring Your System." System Overview 1-27 Remote Power-On (Wake On LAN) Function The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or modem. If the system power is set to Off, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main computer to the remote system. Note: The standard default value of the remote power-on function is “Disabled”. To enable it, the Wake On LAN item in the System Hardware menu of the BIOS Setup Utility described in Chapter 3 “BIOS Setup Configuration Settings” must be changed to “Enabled.” System Security To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a full lockable front cover and Server Management software that monitors the system. Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring The front cover of the tower-based system contains a mechanical lock to prevent access to the front of the computer chassis. The computer chassis includes an interlock switch for the processor cover, which controls power shutdown. When the interlock switch is opened, power to the system is turned off for safety reasons. Security with the rack-mount system is identical to the tower-based system stated above, except that the mechanical locks are on the front and rear doors of the rack cabinet. Software Locks via the BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example: ! Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period1 to 120 minutes. ! Set and enable an administrative password. ! Set and enable a user password ! Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel reset and power switches. ! Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set. 1-28 System Overview Reconfiguration If a CPU or a memory DIMM board error was detected during execution of POST (Power On Self-Test) after system power is turned on, the reconfiguration function isolates the failed CPU or memory DIMM board and continues operation. You should replace the failed device as soon as possible. This function is enabled only when the following system requirements are met: ! Two or more CPUs are installed. ! Eight memory DIMM boards are installed. A CPU or memory DIMM board error may be viewed on the screen while POST is running or by entering BIOS Setup. It may also be viewed when the ESMPRO Suite program is installed and operating. System Overview 1-29 1-30 System Overview 2 Setting Up the System ! Overview ! Selecting a Site ! Unpacking the System ! Rack-Mount Subsystem Assembly ! Getting Familiar with the System ! Making Connections ! Connecting the Power Cord(s) ! Using the System Overview This chapter describes how to select a site, unpack the system, make cable connections, and power on the server system. Also, provided are the instructions for assembling and mounting the rack-mount system. Selecting a Site The system operates reliably in a typical office environment. Choose a site that is: ! Near grounded, three-pronged power outlets. Note: For the United States and Canada, this means a NEMA 5-15R outlets for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlets for 200-240 VAC. For other international sites, this means three-pronged power outlets applicable for the electrical code of the region. ! WARNING Be sure the power service connection is through a properly grounded outlet. ! CAUTION When two or three power supplies are installed in the system the power plug from each of the power supplies must be plugged into the same common ground power outlets. ! Clean, dust-free, and well ventilated. Front and rear ventilating openings kept free of obstructions. Away from sources of heat, vibration or physical shock. ! Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields and electrical noise produced by electrical devices (such as air conditioners, large fans, large electric motors, radio and TV transmitters, and high-frequency security devices) ! Spacious enough to provide at least five inches (13 centimeters) behind the system and three inches (eight centimeters) on each side of the system for proper cooling, airflow, and cable clearance. ! Easily accessible for system maintenance and installation of system upgrades. 2-2 Setting Up the System Unpacking the System ! WARNING Your server weighs approximately 82 pounds (37 kg). If your system contains numerous optional boards and peripheral devices, it will weigh more. To avoid personal injury, make sure you have someone help you lift or move the system. When you receive your system if the shipping boxes are damaged, note the damage, and if possible, photograph it for reference. After removing the contents of the containers, keep the cartons and the packing materials. If the contents appear damaged when you unpack the boxes, file a damage claim with the carrier immediately. Setting Up the System 2-3 Rack-Mount Subsystem Assembly This section provides the instructions for assembling and mounting the rackmount server into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet. Before You Begin Before you begin, please review the following cautions, warnings, and general guidelines. ! WARNING Be sure that power to the system is turned off and unplugged. All voltage is removed only when the power cords are unplugged. ! Avoid excessive vibration and shock. Dropping an electronic component can cause serious damage. ! Do not disconnect or remove parts other than those specified in the procedure. ! Do not touch I/O connector pins. ! All screws are Phillips-head, unless otherwise specified. ! On completion of any assembly or reassembly, perform a power-on test. If a fault occurs, verify that the assembly or reassembly was performed correctly. If the problem persists, see "Problem Solving" in Chapter 5. Static Precautions An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components. Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system. 2-4 Setting Up the System Assembly The following subsection describes how to assemble your rack-mount server into a standard EIA 19-inch rack cabinet. ! CAUTION Ensure that the location of the rack-mount server does not create an unstable condition when installed in the rack cabinet. Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the rack-mount server. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the bottom of the rack cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more than 75% filled with components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit. Note: When planning your system configuration for the rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables that interconnect system components. Preparing the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies 1. Locate the two rack mounting bracket assemblies. Each rack-mounting bracket consists of an outer bracket and an inner bracket (see Figure 2-1). The rack mounting bracket also has a slide rail assembly attached to its inner bracket consisting of an extension rail assembly with a center slide bar. The rack mounting bracket with the outer bracket and inner bracket are the parts of the assembly that attach to the rack cabinet. The center slide bar attaches to the side of the server. The rack mounting bracket assembly ships as an assembled unit, so you must remove the center slide bar from the assembly before attaching to the side of the server. A – Inner bracket B – Outer bracket C – Extension rail assembly D – Extension rail assembly safety latch E – Center slide bar safety latch F – Center slide bar Figure 2-1 Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies Setting Up the System 2-5 2. Remove the center slide bar from each rack mounting bracket assembly as follows: ! Position the rack mounting bracket assembly on a flat surface with the center slide bar facing up. ! Fully extend the three telescoping slide bars until they lock in place (see Figure 2-1). ! While pressing up on the center slide bar safety latch (see Figure 2-1), slide the center slide bar out of the assembly and set aside for installation on the server. ! Ensure that the safety latch on the extension rail assembly (see Figure 2-1) is centered and then collapse the center slide rail into the outer bracket rail. 3. With each rack mounting bracket assembly on a flat surface remove the six screws that attach their outer and inner brackets together and separate them (see Figure 2-1). 4. Locate the third, fourth, and fifth set of screw holes on the outer rack mounting bracket (counting from the front of the bracket that has no front flange) and align its inner bracket rear set of oblong holes over this set of holes (see Figure 2-2). Note: This procedure is for mounting a server in a 1000 mm rack cabinet. For mounting in other types of rack cabinets adjust the mounting bracket alignment procedures accordingly. 5. Secure the two brackets together by inserting two screws in each of the third, fourth, and fifth set of screw holes (see Figure 2-2). Snug up screws but do not tighten. 6. Set the rack mounting bracket assemblies aside for rack installation.

Align the mounting holes in each slide bar to the threaded holes on the side of the server (see Figure 2-3). Note: The holes in the two center slide bars line up only one way with the holes in the server. 2. Secure each slide bar to the server using three M4 screws, as shown in Figure 2-3 A – Center Slide Bar B – Safety Latch C – M4 Screws (1 of 3) D – Threaded Holes in server Figure 2-3. Attaching the Inner Component Slide Bar to the server Installing the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies into the Rack Cabinet Before you can mount the server in the rack cabinet, you must install the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies in the rack cabinet. Note: You must use the following procedure to prepare the rack cabinet before mounting the server into it. Observe all safety precautions, warnings, and cautions noted throughout this chapter. Use the following procedure to install the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies into the rack cabinet. 1. Determine where you want to install the server in the rack cabinet. Setting Up the System 2-7 ! To improve rack stability, mount the server towards the bottom of the rack cabinet. ! If there are units already installed, install the server into the next empty space from the bottom of the rack cabinet. 2. Starting at the bottom of the rack cabinet, or at the top or bottom of a previously mounted unit, measure the number of screw hole locations on the front vertical mounting rails (see Figure 2-4) and rear vertical mounting rails (see Figure 2-5) for the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies and Cable Retention Arm. Mark the location with a pencil on the outside of both the front and rear vertical mounting rails.

While marking the hole locations for the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies and Cable Retention Arm, also mark the locations on the front vertical mounting rails for the cage nuts, which hold the thumbscrews of the server faceplate (see Figure 2-4). 4. Insert four M5 cage nuts in their marked locations on the front vertical mounting rails (see Figure 2-6), as follows: ! Position the cage nut on the inside of the front vertical mounting rails. ! Hook the side lip of a cage nut into the square hole in the rail. ! Push the other side lip of the cage nut into the square hole in the rail until it is secured. ! Repeat for each cage nut. Setting Up the System 2-9 Figure 2-6. Inserting the Cage Nuts for the Server Faceplate 5. Align one of the Rack Mounting Bracket Assemblies behind the mounting holes in the vertical mounting rail (see Figure 2-7) located on the left side of the rack cabinet. The tabs on the front and rear of the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly help to align it with the holes in the vertical-mounting rail. 6. Install two screws (see Figure 2-7) that secure the front of the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly to the vertical-mounting rail and tighten loosely. 7. Carefully align the rear holes of the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly with the holes in the rear vertical-mounting rail. 8. Install two screws (see Figure 2-7) that secure the rear of the Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly to the vertical-mounting rail. 9. Tighten all four screws holding the Mounting Bracket Assembly to the vertical mounting rails. Note: The screws in the oblong slots of the outer rackmounting bracket may need to be readjusted. 10. Tighten the six screws securing the two brackets together (see Figure 2-2). 11. Repeat steps 5 through 10 for the mounting the other Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly on the right side of the rack cabinet. 2-10 Setting Up the System A – Vertical mounting rail B – Rack mounting assembly C – Alignment tab D – Screw Figure 2-7 Installing the Left Rack Mounting Bracket Assembly into the Rack Mounting the Server in the Rack Cabinet Use the following procedure to mount the server into the rack cabinet (see Figure 2-8). ! WARNING Anchor the Rack Cabinet. The rack cabinet must be anchored to an unmovable support or a front stabilizer to prevent it from falling over when one or more units are extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must be able to withstand a force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs.). You must also consider the weight of any other device installed in the rack. Avoid Injury. It is required that two people are present when lifting and assembling the rack-mount server into a rack cabinet. Do not attempt to lift or move the server unit by the latches on the power supplies. 1. Pull the two extension rail assemblies (see Figure 2-8) out of each rack mounting assembly on the rack cabinet until it locks in place. Setting Up the System 2-11 2. With someone assisting you, use the handles on the front of the server and the lip at the top rear of the server to lift and slide the server into the extended rail slider assemblies. ! Align the server center slide bars with the extended rail assemblies. ! Carefully slide the server into the extended rail assemblies until it stops. ! Carefully press in on the safety latches on the center slide bars, ensure that the safety latch on the extension rail assemblies (see Figure 2-1) are centered and slide the server all the way into the rack cabinet. Note: When you first slide the server into the rack cabinet, extra pressure may have to be applied. After the first time, the slides will start to move easier. ! Check that the server slides in and out of the rack cabinet. Grasp the two handles on the front of the server and slowly pull the server out and push it back in. ! Secure the faceplate of the server to the front of the rack cabinet by screwing the thumbscrews into the cage nuts. Figure 2-8 Mounting the server 2-12 Setting Up the System Attaching the Cable Retention Arm The dual-hinged cable retention arm attaches to the rear of the server and allows cables to swing in and out of the way as the server slides back and forth within the rack cabinet. All the server cables can be tie-wrapped to the cable retention arm. Note: For easy installation of the cable retention arm, first slide the server into the rack cabinet and then install the cable retention arm. 1. Using two screws attach one end of the cable retention arm to the rear of the server (see Figure 2-9). 2. Using two screws attach the other end of the cable retention arm to the cage nuts installed in the left rear vertical mounting rail (see Figure 2-9). 3. Bundle all the server cables together and tie-wrap them to the cable retention arm. Figure 2-9. Attaching the Cable Retention Arm Setting Up the System 2-13 Getting Familiar with the System Before setting up your system, see System Overview in Chapter 1 of this User's Guide to become familiar with the system’s features, such as the location of your system's front and rear panel switches, indicators and connectors, etc. Making Connections If your system normally operates without a video display or keyboard (for example, as a network server), you must install a video display and keyboard to configure the system. You may remove them after running the BIOS Setup Utility. For information on running the BIOS Setup Utility, refer to Chapter 3 Configuring Your System of this User’s Guide. Connect your keyboard, monitor, and mouse; see Figure 1-4 in Chapter 1 of this User's Guide. Connect any external peripheral devices such as a printer or modem by following the instructions included with these devices. To connect external SCSI cables, refer to Cabling in Appendix A. ! CAUTION Damage to the system may result if the keyboard/mouse cable is inserted or removed when power is applied to the system. Inserting a telephone line connector into a LAN board RJ-45 port may result in personal injury and equipment damage. 2-14 Setting Up the System Connecting the Power Cord(s) Plug the female end of each AC power cord into the input receptacle(s) on the rear of the server chassis (see Figure 2-10). Plug the male end of the power cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC. If the power cord(s) supplied with the system are not compatible with the AC wall outlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following criteria. ! The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have a current rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system. ! The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must be terminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region. It must have certification marks showing certification by an agency acceptable in your region. ! The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an IECtype CEE-22 female connector. ! The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long. After the power cord is plugged in confirm that the power status lamp on the power unit flashes. If the lamp is off, a failure occurred in the power unit, see Table 1-3 System Status LED Indicators in Chapter 1 of this User's Guide. When connecting the power cord to a power control unit, such as an UPS confirm that the power control unit is powered off. Connecting the power cord while power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure. ! WARNING Your system shipped with a power cord for each power supply. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required. ! CAUTION When two or three power supplies are installed in the system the power plug from each of the power supplies must be plugged into the same common ground power outlets. Setting Up the System 2-15 Figure 2-10. Connecting the AC Power Cord to the Server 2-16 Setting Up the System Using the System The following subsections describe how to use this server system properly and safely, including an explanation of the server system power on/off sequences, what the POST program checks in the server, and how to perform a forced power shutdown. When using the server system the following precautions should be observed. ! Do not delete the hard disk partition exclusively provided for maintenance of the server although it may appear on the operating system (OS). Deleting the hard disk partition may cause malfunction of the server. ! Make sure you power off the server before connecting or disconnecting cables between the server and peripheral devices. Connecting or disconnecting the cables while the server is powered on may cause malfunction or failures within the server. ! Verify that the access lamp on the server is unlit before turning off the server or ejecting the floppy disk. Turning off the server or ejecting the floppy disk while the access lamp is lit may damage data being stored on the floppy disk. ! After turning off the server, wait at least 40 seconds before turning it on again. Cycling the power immediately may cause malfunction or failures of the server. ! Before relocating the server, turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Moving the server when it is powered may cause malfunction or failures of the server. ! Some software includes a command to eject the CD-ROM tray or a media in a device mounted in the 5.25-inch device bay. Make sure that the front door of the tower-based cabinet is open before running the command. Running this command with the front door closed may cause the CDROM tray or the media to hit against the front door, resulting in a possible failure of the CD-ROM. ! Clean the server regularly. Regular cleaning prevents failures of the server and its components. ! Lightning may cause a momentary voltage drop. To prevent this problem, an uninterruptible power supply unit is recommended. ! Only use options recommended for the server. A non-recommended option may be mounted or connected to the server, but it may fail to operate normally or even cause failures. Setting Up the System 2-17 Opening the Front Door of the Tower Cabinet You must open the front door of the tower cabinet to turn the server power on or off, place the server in sleep mode, mount or dismount a floppy disk, mount or dismount a hard disk drive, or mount or dismount 5 1/4-inch removable media devices. Note: The standard CD-ROM drive and some options for the 5 1/4-inch devices such as a CD-ROM drive have a function to eject a tray or media using a software command. Before issuing a software command to eject a tray or media, confirm that the front door is open. If the command is executed while the front door is closed a tray or media may run into the front door resulting in an error or may cause the unit to fail. Open the front door as follows. 1. To open the front door, you need to use the security key provided with the server. Insert the security key into the key slot and turn the key to the left to unlock the door (see Figure 2-11). 2.

If you order a system with an Operating System (OS) hot load and a RAID controller, the system is pre-configured at the factory according to Table 3-3. Table 3-3 RAID Configurations Number of Hard Drives RAID Level Configured in BSU Hard Drives in BSU Array Hard Drives in DEU (Not Configured) Description of RAID Configuration for BSU Drives 1 small and several large capacity drives 7 1 (small capacity drive in BSU) Several (large capacity drives in DEU) JBOD (RAID 7) Known as Just a Bunch of Drives, JBOD allows the controller to access the drives independently. This configuration has no redundancy and does not use striping. 2 small and several large capacity drives 1 2 (small capacity drives in BSU) Several (large capacity drives in DEU) Mirroring (RAID 1) Drives are paired and mirrored. All data is 100% duplicated on an equivalent drive (fully redundant). 2 or More same capacity drives 1 2 Mirroring (RAID 1) Drives are Remainder in paired and mirrored. All data is DEU (same capacity) 100% duplicated on an equivalent drive (fully redundant). To complete the RAID configuration or if you want to change the RAID level or add additional hard disks to the array, use the RAID configuration utility. The RAID configuration utility is included with the RAID controller. If you are adding the RAID controller to an existing system, the RAID configuration utility allows you to configure your disk array before reinstalling your network operating system. The RAID controllers support various versions of RAID technology (referred to as RAID levels). To use any RAID level, you must configure the RAID controller using the RAID configuration utility prior to installing your Network Operating System. For an explanation of this utility, refer to the documentation on the MYLEX CDROM that was shipped with the RAID controller. It describes RAID technology and provides tips on making your array perform well in your specific application. It also covers array hardware preparation, configuration, and initialization. After completing the steps in the manual, you can install your Network Operating System. If you want to remotely configure the array (from a PC client); increase array capacity online; or monitor statistics on disk and controller activity, you must install the array manager provided with your RAID subsystem. Increasing array capacity is covered in the user's guide shipped with the option.

Each 168-pin socket can hold a single 72-bit DIMM module with 64MB, 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, or 1GB (when available) of memory. When all sixteen sockets are populated, the memory board supports a maximum of 16GB of memory with 1GB DIMMs. DIMMs must be identical within a group on each board. Note: DIMMs must be installed in a group (consisting of four DIMMs) that is designated as one memory group. DIMMs must also be of the same type and capacity within a group. The first group of DIMMs should be installed in DIMM slots 1, 5, 9 and 13 (see Figure 4-16, Group #1). When you install additional DIMMs, you must start with Group #2 and continue to Group #4. When you remove DIMMs; you must start with the highest populated group of DIMMs. The following subsections describe the procedures for adding memory DIMMs to your system. ! WARNING If the system was running, any processor and heat sink installed is hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn while configuring memory, let the components cool for 10 minutes before continuing with the procedures described here. Note: DIMMs are grouped into four and must be installed in multiples of four. A B C D E Group #1 DIMM sockets (DIMM slots 1, 5, 9, 13) Group #2 DIMM sockets (DIMM slots 2, 6, 10, 14) Group #3 DIMM sockets (DIMM slots 3, 7, 11, 15) Group #4 DIMM sockets (DIMM slots 4, 8, 12, 16) System board connector Figure 4-16 Memory Board DIMM Locations Disassembly and Reassembly 4-21 Installing DIMMs 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Power off the system. Ensure the power cords are unplugged from the AC wall outlet. 3. Remove the processor cover. See Removing the Processor Cover earlier in this chapter. 4. The memory board is secured to the chassis by two thumbscrews (one on each front corner of the board.) Loosen the thumbscrews and slowly pull memory out of its bay until its edge connectors are free. See Figure 4-17. Figure 4-17. Removing the Memory Board Note: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap. Hold DIMMs only by their edges. 5. Place the memory board on an antistatic surface. 6. Holding the DIMM module only by the edges, remove it from its antistatic package. Note: When installing DIMMs in empty DIMM connectors on the memory board, you must remove the DIMM connector cover first. 7. DIMMs are keyed so they can only be inserted one way. Position the DIMM over the socket on the board where you want to install the DIMM. The notches in the bottom edge of the DIMM mate with the raised bumps in the DIMM socket. 8. Press down evenly on the DIMM until it seats correctly. The retaining levers (see Figure 4-18) on the sockets are not "tools" to aid in the insertion, only to keep the DIMMs in place and to aid in extraction. The levers will automatically close in place once the DIMM is fully inserted into the socket. 4-22 Disassembly and Reassembly Figure 4-18. Installing Memory DIMMs 9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 above to install any remaining DIMMs. 10. Hold the memory board by its front edge and start to insert it into the slot guides. Do not press in on the board yet!

Perform steps 10 through 13 of the previous subsection Installing a 5 1/4Inch Device. 10. Remove the drive serial number from the equipment log. Disassembly and Reassembly 4-39 Hard Disk Drives The following sections provide procedures for installing a disk drive, removing a disk drive, or swapping out a faulty disk drive from one of the hot-swap drive bays. The 3 1/2-inch SCSI drives must use the industry standard 80-pin Single Connector Attachment (SCA) connector. Each drive must be installed in a carrier. Note: To order a carrier, contact your sales representative or dealer. " If installing new drives, follow an installation scheme starting with the top right drive. Fill the bays top to bottom. " If an individual SCSI drive fault LED (yellow light) is on steadily, this indicates that the drive has been flagged as faulty. Follow the procedure described in this section to remove the faulty drive and swap in a good one. Note: Swap SCSI drives without turning off power. This is one of the few system procedures that is safe to do with the system power left on. This is true only if a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) controller module is installed and only for the drive/carrier assemblies in the hot-swap bays, not for drives in any other bays. Note: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. This system can withstand normal levels of environmental ESD while you are hot-swapping SCSI hard drives. However, we recommend that you do all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation or provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface) on your system when handling parts. 4-40 Disassembly and Reassembly Installing a Hard Disk Drive Use this procedure to add an optional hard disk drive to your system. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter. 2. If tower-based system, open the front door of the cabinet. See Opening the Front Door of the Tower Cabinet in chapter 2. 3. Power off the system. Ensure the power cords are unplugged from the AC wall outlet. 4. At the SCSI hard disk drive bay where you want to install a drive, loosen the thumbscrew on the front of the bay door and swing it open. 5. Determine which hard disk drive bay slot will house the new hard drive, see Figure 4-35. Each SCSI hard disk drive bay consists of five slots for mounting hard drives. Confirm which slot of the hard disk drive bay the hard drive will be mounted in. The SCSI ID (0 - 4) is determined by the slot number from top to bottom in each bay. A B C D E F G A B C D E F G Standard SCSI hard disk drive bay ID 0 ID 1 ID 2 ID 3 ID 4 Optional SCSI hard disk drive bay Figure 4-35. SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bays Disassembly and Reassembly 4-41 6. Remove a dummy drive carrier (identified by white lock lever) from the slot, see Figure 4-36. Refer to Removing a Hard Disk Drive later in this chapter. Note: The dummy drive carrier is provided to maintain the proper cooling effect. Leave the dummy drive carrier in unused slots so that the server can operate efficiently. (Keep all removed dummy drive carriers for future use.) ! CAUTION Do not insert your hand or any tool into the slot with the disk tray or dummy drive carrier removed. Failure to follow this caution may cause an electric shock or fire. Figure 4-36. Removing Dummy Drive Carrier Note: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap. 7. The drive carrier is shipped with the add-on drive. Remove the new drive from its protective wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface. Record the drive model and serial numbers in the equipment log. 8. Position the drive so its SCA connector is near the top surface of the drive. Place the drive on the antistatic surface again. Slide the drive into the carrier with its SCA connector facing toward the rear of the carrier (open end). 9. While holding the drive in the carrier with your left hand, align the drive’s screw holes with the carrier’s screw holes and insert the four screws of appropriate size and length (see Figure 4-37). 4-42 Disassembly and Reassembly Installing 3 1/2inch hard disk drive in carrier for hot-swap bays D A Carrier B Four screws C Hard disk drive D SCA connector C A B Figure 4-37.

Grasp the handle of the hard disk’s carrier and unlock the lever located at the bottom of the carrier handle, see Figure 4-42. The hard disk carrier will come out approximately 1/2-inch so that its handle is fully accessible in order to pull the carrier the rest of the way out of the bay. Figure 4-42. Removing a Hard Disk Drive 7. Remove the hard disk drive and place it in an antistatic wrapper. 8. If another hard disk drive is not going to be installed into the vacant slot then a dummy drive carrier must be. This will ensure proper system cooling. 9. Close the hard disk drive bay door and tighten its thumbscrew. 10. If tower-based system, close the front door of the cabinet. 11. Plug in the power cords and power up the system. 4-46 Disassembly and Reassembly Hot-Swapping a Hard Drive If you are swapping out a faulty hard drive, you can determine which drive to remove by checking its Disk Drive Status LEDs. See “Status LED Indicator Descriptions” in Chapter 1. Note: When the Disk Error LED indicates a drive fault (steady amber light), you can remove the drive and swap in a replacement at any time without needing to power down the system. Drive manufacturer's caution against moving a drive that is still spinning because of possible damage to the drive. Also, when the Disk Error LED indicates that the hard disk drive is being rebuilt (flashing amber light) do not remove the drive. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this chapter. 2. If tower-based system, open the front door of the cabinet. See Opening the Front Door of the Tower Cabinet in chapter 2. 3. Loosen the thumbscrew on the front of the hard disk drive bay doors and swing it open. 3. Check all the hard disk drive status LEDs to confirm which faulty drive to remove. Each drive has two status indicators located on its front handle. See Table 1-2. Disk Drive Status LED Panel Indicators in Chapter 1. Note: Depending on the drive fault, the drive may be still spinning when you remove it. Follow the next step exactly when removing drives. 4. Grasp the handle of the hard disk’s carrier and unlock the lever located at the bottom of the carrier handle, see Figure 4-42. Pull the faulty drive out of the bay far enough to disengage the drive connector from the backplane. Wait 30 seconds until the drive spins down, then remove the drive from the bay. Note: Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap. 5. Place the removed hard drive on an antistatic surface. 6. Remove the replacement drive from its protective wrapper and place it on an antistatic surface. Record the drive model and serial numbers in the equipment log. If a drive carrier was not shipped with the replacement drive, use the carrier from the removed drive. 7. Place the removed hard drive in an antistatic wrapper. 8. Perform steps 7 through 14 of the previous subsection Installing a Hard Disk Drive. Disassembly and Reassembly 4-47 Installing the Hot-Swap SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay Upgrade Kit This subsection describes how to install the optional Hot-Swap SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay Upgrade Kit. !

Error Messages ! How to Identify BIOS and BMC Revision Levels Problem Solving This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that may occur during system installation or while using your system. The first section of this chapter tells you how to reset your system in the event of problems. The next few sections provide troubleshooting checklists and procedural steps that help you isolate specific system problems. The last section includes BIOS, system, and disk status user information. ! WARNING The DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn off the system AC power. Also, +5vdc is present on the system board whenever the AC power cord is connected between the system and an AC outlet. Before doing the procedures in this manual, make sure that your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cords from the back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before opening your system can result in personal injury and equipment damage ! CAUTION Operating your system with the side cover removed can damage your system components. For proper cooling and airflow, always replace the top panel before powering on your system. Static Precautions An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components. Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system. 5-2 Problem Solving Troubleshooting Checklists The following subsections provide troubleshooting checklists for problems that occur at initial system startup, when you run new application software, and after the system hardware and software have been running correctly. Initial System Startup Incorrect installation or configuration usually causes problems that occur at initial system startup. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. If you have problems during initial system startup, check the following: ! Are the system power cords properly connected to the system and plugged into a NEMA 5-15R outlet (100-120 Vac), a NEMA 6-15R outlet (200-240 Vac), or an UPS that meets the power specifications of the system? ! Is AC power available at the wall outlet? ! Is the processor cover closed properly? A power interlock switch detects if the processor cover is open. If the processor cover is not closed properly power is not supplied to the server system. ! Is the power on/off push-button switch on the front panel in the ON position (power on LED should be lit)? ! Are all cables correctly connected and secured? ! Are all the PCI option boards fully seated in their connector slots on the system board? ! Are all jumpers and switch settings on option boards and peripheral devices correct? If applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts; for example, two option boards sharing the same interrupt. ! Are the processors fully seated in their slots on the system board? Refer to the Processors subsection of Upgrading Your System in chapter 4 for installation instructions? ! Are all DIMMs fully seated and installed correctly? Refer to the DIMMs subsection of Upgrading Your System in chapter 4 for installation instructions. ! Are all option boards and disk drives installed correctly? Refer to the Options Boards and Hard Disk Drives subsections of Upgrading Your System in chapter 4 for installation instructions. ! Is the system hard disk drive properly formatted or defined? ! Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating system documentation. ! Are all drivers properly installed? For information about installing drivers, refer to your Network Operating System Configuration Guide. Problem Solving 5-3 ! Are the configuration settings in BIOS Setup and the SCSISelcet Utility correct? For information about running these utilities, refer to the Configuring Your System chapter 3. If the above items are all correct, but the problem reoccurs, refer to Additional Troubleshooting Procedures in this chapter. Running New Application Software Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly. If you have problems while running new application software, check the following: ! Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? Refer to the software documentation. ! Is the software an authorized copy? Unauthorized copies often do not work. Obtain an authorized copy of the software. ! If you are running the software from a diskette, is it a good copy? ! If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, is the software correctly installed? Where all necessary procedures followed and files installed? ! If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk is the disk scratched or dirty? ! Are the correct device drivers installed? ! Is the software correctly configured for the system? ! Are you using the software correctly? ! If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software. If the problems persist with the software, contact the software vendor's customer service representative. 5-4 Problem Solving After System Has Been Running Correctly Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly often indicate equipment failure. However, many situations that are easy to correct can also cause such problems. If you have problems after the system has been running correctly, check the following: ! If you are running the software from a diskette or CD-ROM, try a new copy of the software. ! If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, try running it from a floppy. If the software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on the hard disk. Reinstall the software on the hard disk drive and try running it again. Make sure all the necessary files are installed. ! If the problem recurs, you may need to reformat the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive, the drive controller, or the system board set may be defective. ! If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (if keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random component failures. ! If you suspect that a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout might have occurred, reload the software and try running it again. Symptoms of voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and the system not responding to user commands. Note: Voltage spikes can corrupt or destroy data files on the drive. If you are experiencing voltage spikes on the power line, install a surge suppresser between the power outlet and the system power cord. If the problem recurs after you have checked and corrected all of the above items, refer to Diagnostic Procedures in this chapter. Problem Solving 5-5 Diagnostic Procedures This section provides a more detailed approach to diagnosing and identifying problems and then locating their sources. Error Checking Each time you turn on the system, POST (Power-On-Self-Test) runs automatically and checks the system board, processors, memory board, keyboard, and mouse. If POST finds an error, it displays an error message. Refer to the Error Message section in this chapter for an explanation of each error message. Troubleshooting Guide Use the following troubleshooting procedures to help you identify a problem. These general procedures lead you through the following: ! Preparing the system for diagnosing problems ! Monitoring POST while it is running ! Verifying proper operation of key system LEDs ! Confirming loading of the operating system. Preparing the System for Diagnosing Problems To prepare the system for diagnosing problems, perform the following: Note: Before disconnecting any peripheral cables from the system, turn off the system and any external peripheral devices. Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the system and/or the peripheral devices. 1. Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices. Disconnect all devices from the system except the keyboard and video monitor. 2. Make sure the system power cords are plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet. 3. Make sure your video display monitor and keyboard are correctly connected to the system. Turn on the video monitor. Set its brightness and contrast controls to at least two-thirds of their maximum ranges (refer to the documentation supplied with your video display monitor). 4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there is no diskette in drive A. Otherwise, place a diskette containing the operating system files in drive A. 5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator LED does not light, refer to Power Light Does Not Light found later in this chapter. 5-6 Problem Solving Monitoring POST Each time you turn on the system, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs automatically and checks the system board, processors, memory board, keyboard, and mouse. During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and test. Depending on the amount of memory, it may take several minutes to complete the memory test. When the memory test completes, the following is displayed: Press <F2> to enter SETUP Press <F2> to enter BIOS SETUP. When the utility appears, follow the instructions on your monitor to configure BIOS. See chapter 3, "Configuring Your System." If you do not press <F2>, the above message remains for a few seconds and the boot process continues. When this message appears: ™ Press <Ctrl> <A> for SCSISelect Utility! Press <Ctrl+A> if you want to configure SCSI devices in your system.

Problem Solving 5-7 Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Indicators As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each mass storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity indicator should turn on briefly. Check for the following: ! Does the diskette drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “Diskette Drive Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter. ! If there is a hard disk drive or SCSI devices installed in the system, does the hard disk drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to Hard Disk Drive Activity Indicator Does Not Light in this chapter. Confirming Loading of the Operating System Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. The prompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt does not appear, refer to Problems with Application Software found later in this chapter. 5-8 Problem Solving Specific Problems and Corrective Actions This section provides possible solutions for the following specific problems: !

Is the keyboard working? Check to see if the Num Lock light is functioning. ! Is the video display monitor plugged in and turned on? ! Are the brightness and contrast controls on the video monitor properly adjusted? ! Are the video monitor switch settings correct? ! Is the video monitor signal cable properly installed? ! Is the onboard video controller enabled? If you are using a video controller board, verify that the video controller board is fully seated in the its connector. If there are still no characters on the screen after you reboot the system, contact your service representative or authorized dealer for assistance. POST emits one long beep and two short beeps pattern to indicate a possible problem with the video display controller. If you do not receive a beep pattern and characters do not display, the video display or video controller may have failed. Contact your service representative or authorized dealer for assistance. Characters are Distorted or Incorrect Check the following: ! Are the brightness and contrast controls properly adjusted on the video display? Refer to the documentation supplied with your video display. ! Are the video monitor's signal and power cables properly installed? ! If the problem persists, the video monitor may be faulty or it may be the incorrect type. Contact your service representative for assistance. System Cooling Fans Do Not Rotate Note: In addition to the cooling fans that are an integral part of each power supply, the server chassis has hot swap front and rear cooling fan modules. There are no serviceable components inside the power supply. If the power supply is opened, the manufacturer's warranty is voided. Check the following: ! Is AC power available at the wall outlet? ! Are the system power cords properly connected to the power supplies and the AC wall outlets? ! Are the cooling fans module power connectors seated properly? 5-10 Problem Solving ! Is the front panel power on indicator lit? If the switches and connections are correct and the power outlet is functioning, the power supply has probably failed. Contact your service representative for assistance. Diskette Drive Activity LED Does Not Light Check the following: ! Are the diskette drive's power and signal cables properly installed? ! Is the diskette drive properly configured? Is the diskette drive activity light always on? If so, the signal cable may be plugged in incorrectly. Use BIOS Setup to make sure that the diskette drive controller is set to Enabled. For information about running BIOS Setup, refer to the Configuring Your System chapter. If the problem persists, there may be a problem with the diskette drive, system board, or drive signal cable. Contact your service representative for assistance. ! CD-ROM Drive Activity Light Does Not Light Check the following: ! Is the power and signal cable to the CD-ROM drive properly installed? ! Are all relevant switches and jumpers on the drive set correctly? ! Is the drive properly configured? ! Is the onboard IDE controller enabled? Problems with Application Software If you have problems with application software, perform the following: ! Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. Refer to the software installation and operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software. ! Verify a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy that you are using. ! Make sure all cables are installed correctly. ! Verify that the system board jumpers are set correctly. Refer to the Configuring Your System chapter for jumper settings. ! If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failing software. If the problem persists, contact the software vendor's customer service representative for assistance. Problem Solving 5-11 Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected Check the following: ! Is the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device? Check your BIOS Setup (F2) configuration. Problems with the Network Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails: ! Make sure the network cable is securely attached. The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed: ! Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller. ! Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2 does not. ! Try reseating the add-in adapter. The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause. ! Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary. ! The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers. ! Run the diagnostics. Plug and Play Installation Tips Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The BIOS Setup Utility can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices. For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are not shared. 5-12 Problem Solving Error Messages This section describes the POST error codes and messages. POST Error Codes and Messages Whenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, BIOS displays a message on the video display screen and causes the speaker to beep as the message appears. BIOS also issues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if the video configuration fails or if an external ROM module does not a checksum of zero. The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area in the Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on the screen, which is sometimes preceded by the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to the Event Logging area. Note: Your system error log will be lost, if your system ac power source is off or disconnected. Table 5-1 POST Error Codes and Messages is a list of the error codes and messages written at the start of each POST test.

Standard SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay RAID Cabling Configuration. ! Standard and Optional SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bays RAID Cabling Configuration Before You Begin ! WARNING The DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn off the system AC power. Before doing the procedures in this chapter, make sure that your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cord from the back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before opening your system can result in personal injury and equipment damage. Static Precautions An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and other components. You can provide ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground when handling system components. Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system. C-2 System Cabling Configurations Standard Cabling Configuration The server unit is cabled using a single channel on-board IDE Controller, a single channel on-board Adaptec 7880 SCSI controller, and a dual channel onboard Adaptec 7899 SCSI controller. The on-board IDE controller supports the standard internally mounted CD-ROM as its master device. The AIC 7880 provides a single SCSI channel PCI bus master interface and is capable of operating using either 8- or 16-bit SCSI providing 80 MB/s (UltraWide) throughput. As implemented on the system board the AIC7880 controller is used to support SCSI devices in the 5 1/4-inch removable media bays and to SCSI hard disk drives connected to the external SCSI connector port. The AIC 7899 contains two independent SCSI channels that share a single PCI bus master interface. Each channel is capable of operations using either 8- or 16bit SCSI providing 160 MB/s (Ultra 160/m) throughput. As implemented on the system board controller A attaches to the standard Ultra-160/m SCSI backpanel that supports up to five 160/m SCA drives. Controller B attaches to the optional Ultra-160/m SCSI backplane that supports up to five additional 160/m SCA drives. A 68 pin to 50 pin converter is also available to be used when installing narrow SCSI devices. A 3.5-inch floppy diskette drive is also installed in the system and interfaces separately to the system board. Referring to Figure C-1 a 68-pin Ultra-160/m SCSI interface cable (L) is connected to the SCSI connector (M) on the system board. This cable connects to the rear of the standard hard disk drive's SCSI backpanel (I). Another 68-pin Ultra-160/m SCSI interface cable connector (K) is available for cable connection to the optional hard disk drive SCSI backpanel. The IDE interface cable (D) is connected to the IDE connector (E) on the system board. This cable connects to the rear of the internally mounted CD-ROM drive (C). Optional internally mounted SCSI removable media devices (A) may be connected to the SCSI controller connector (N) with Ultra-Wide SCSI interface cable (B). This cable also connects to an external SCSI connector (O) located on the rear of the server chassis. The diskette drive interface cable (G) is connected to the diskette drive connector (H) on the system board. This cable connects to the rear of the internally mounted diskette drive (F).

Standard Cabling Configuration C-4 System Cabling Configurations Standard and Optional Hard Disk Drive Bays SCSI Bus Cabling Configuration The optional SCSI hard disk drive bay available for your system provides storage for five additional SCSI hard disk drives. If you order a system with the optional SCSI hard disk drive bay installed, the system is pre-cabled at the factory (see Figure C-2" Standard and Optional Hard Disk Drive Bays Cabling Configuration".) If you are adding the optional SCSI hard disk drive bay you must install, cable, and configure your system for this additional bay. Refer to "Installing an Optional SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay" in Chapter 4. The on-board Ultra 160/m SCSI controller AIC 7899 contains two independent SCSI channels that share a single PCI bus master interface. Each channel is capable of operations using either 8- or 16-bit SCSI providing 160 MB/s (Ultra 160/m) throughput. As implemented on the system board controller A is used to support SCSI hard disk drives in the standard SCSI hard disk drive bay. Controller B is used to support additional SCSI hard disk drives in the optional SCSI hard disk drive bay. Figure C-2 illustrates the Standard and Optional SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bays bus cabling configuration. For standard SCSI hard disk drive bay cabling, see the previous subsection "Standard Cabling Configuration". The optional SCSI hard disk drive bay (A) has a 68-pin Ultra-160/m SCSI interface cable (B) connected to the second SCSI connector (C) on the system board. This cable connects to the rear of the optional hard disk drive's SCSI backplane (D).

Standard and Optional Hard Disk Drive Bays SCSI Bus Cabling Configuration C-6 System Cabling Configurations Standard SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay RAID Cabling Configuration The RAID options available for your system provide your system with the added security of fault tolerance. If you order a system with a RAID controller, the system is pre-cabled at the factory (see Figure C-3 "Standard SCSI Hard Disk Drive Bay RAID Cabling Configuration".) If you are adding a RAID controller you must install, cable, and configure the controller. Refer to "Installing a RAID Controller Board" in Chapter 4. One of the standard features of your server system is the three channel SecuRAID 530 (Mylex eXtremeRAID 1100) controller board, which gives your system the added security of fault tolerance. The RAID controller is installed in PCI slot #5 and the third channel (2) is used to control the hot-swap hard disk drives in the standard SCSI hard disk drive bay. The on-board Ultra 160/m SCSI controller AIC 7899 is not used when the RAID controller is installed. Figure C-3 illustrates the server RAID cabling configuration. For standard cabling, see "Standard Cabling Configuration" earlier in this chapter. The RAID controller (A) has a SCSI interface cable (B) that attaches to the backpanel (C) at the rear of the standard SCSI hard disk drive bay (D) supporting up to five SCSI SCA hard disk drives.
