Processor  
Each Pentium II or Pentium III processor is packaged in a cartridge. The cartridge includes the  
processor core with an integrated 16 KB primary (L1) cache, the secondary (L2) cache, and a back  
cover.  
The processor implements the MMX™ technology and maintains full backward compatibility with  
the 8086, 80286, Intel386™, Intel486™, Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, and Pentium III  
processors. The processor’s numeric coprocessor significantly increases the speed of floating point  
operations and complies with ANSI/IEEE standard 754-1985.  
Each processor cartridge connects to the server board through a 242-pin slot 1-edge connector. A  
retention module attached to the server board secures the cartridge. Depending on the  
configuration, your server may have one or two processors.  
The processor external interface is MP (Multi-Processor) ready and operates at 100 MHz. The  
processor contains a local APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller) section for  
interrupt handling in MP and UP (Uni-Processor) environments.  
The second level cache is located on the substrate of the S.E.C. cartridge. The cache includes burst  
pipelined synchronous static RAM (BSRAM).  
Memory  
Only 100 MHz PC/100 ECC or Non-ECC SDRAM is supported by the server board. Memory is  
partitioned as four banks of SDRAM DIMMs, each providing 72 bits of non-interleaved memory  
(64 bit main memory plus ECC):  
•
•
Install from 64 MB to 2 GB of memory, using registered DIMMs.  
Install from 32 MB to 1 GB of memory, using unbuffered DIMMs.  
Memory should be added in order from slot 1 to slot 4.  
NOTE  
✏
Do not mix registered and unbuffered memory. Non ECC memory may be  
installed but ECC memory is recommended in a server environment. Mixing  
Non-ECC memory and ECC memory causes all ECC features to be disabled.  
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initializes the memory array, depending on the type,  
size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory size and allocation to the server via  
configuration registers.

NOTE  
✏
Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board.  
Contact your sales representative or dealer for a current list of approved  
memory modules. Check the Intel Customer Support web site for the latest  
tested memory list:  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/L440gx/compat.htm  
440GX Host Bridge / Memory Controller  
The ISP2150 is designed around the Intel® 82440GX AGPSet (440GX). This device provides  
100 MHz processor host bus interface support, DRAM controller, PCI bus interface, AGP interface  
(used on LB440GX for PCI-66/5V), and power management functions. The host bus/memory  
interface in the 440GX is optimized for 100 MHz operation, using 100 MHz SDRAM main  
memory. The PCI interface is PCI 2.1-compliant, providing a 33 MHz / 5V signaling environment  
for embedded controllers and slots in the riser card. The 440GX memory controller supports up to  
2 GB of ECC or Non-ECC memory, using PC/100 compliant Synchronous DRAM (SDRAM)  
devices on DIMM plug-in modules. ECC can detect and correct single-bit errors, and detect  
multiple-bit errors.  
Peripherals  
Super I/O Chip  
The National† 87309 device supports two serial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive,  
PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse. The server board provides a connector interface for  
each port.  
Serial Ports  
Each serial port can be set to one of four different COMx ports and 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 boards.  
Parallel Port  
The 87309 provides one IEEE 1284-compatible 25 pin bi-directional EPP (supporting levels 1.7  
and 1.9). BIOS programming of the 87309 registers enable the parallel port and determine the port  
address and interrupt. ECP mode is supported with 2 possible DMA channels. When disabled, the  
interrupt is available to add-in boards.

Add-in Board Slots  
You can only add two PCI cards to this server. You must use the PCI slots on the riser card. Do  
not use any expansion slots on the server board.  
The server board has two full length standard PCI connectors on the riser card. PCI features:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Bus speed up to 33 MHz  
32 bit memory addressing  
5 V signaling environment  
Burst transfers of up to 133 Mbps  
8, 16, or 32 bit data transfers  
Plug and Play ready  
Parity enabled  
Video  
The onboard, integrated Cirrus Logic CL-GD5480 64 bit VGA chip contains an SVGA controller  
that is fully compatible with these video standards: CGA, EGA, Hercules† Graphics, MDA LAN,  
and VGA. The standard configuration comes with 2 MB of 10 ns onboard Synchronous Graphics  
Memory (SGRAM). The video controller supports pixel resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 and up to  
16.7 Million colors.  
The SVGA controller supports analog VGA monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced  
and non-interlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace non—interlaced frequency of 100 Hz.  
You cannot add video memory to the server board. Depending on the environment, the controller  
displays up to 16.7 M colors in some video resolutions. It also provides hardware accelerated bit  
block transfers (BITBLT) of data.  
SCSI Controller  
The embedded Adaptec AIC-7896 dual function SCSI controller provides both Ultra2 (LVDS)  
wide and Ultra wide SCSI interfaces as two independent PCI functions.  
The SCSI bus is terminated on the server board with active terminators that cannot be disabled.  
The onboard device must always be at one end of the bus. The device at the end of the cable must  
be terminated. LVDS devices generally do not have termination capabilities. Non-LVDS devices  
generally are terminated through a jumper or resistor pack. If your device does not have a  
termination jumper or resistor pack, you must add a terminator to the end of the cable. A  
terminator is not supplied with your board. You must purchase one separately.  
The hot-swap backplane in the ISP2150 system provides termination for the LVD SCSI bus.

IDE Controller  
IDE is a 16 bit interface for intelligent disk drives with disk controller electronics onboard. The  
PCI/ISA/IDE Accelerator, also known as PIIX4e, is a multifunction device on the server board that  
acts as a PCI based Fast IDE controller. The device controls:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
PIO and IDE DMA/bus master operations  
Mode 4 timings  
Transfer rates up to 33 MB/s  
Buffering for PCI/IDE burst transfers  
Master/slave IDE mode  
Up to two devices per channel; two channels, IDE0 and IDE1  
NOTE  
✏
18 inch maximum length of IDE cable on each channel: You can connect  
an IDE signal cable, up to a maximum of 18 inches each, to each  
IDE connector on the server board. Each cable can support two devices, one  
at the end of the cable and one 6 inches from the end of the cable.  
Network Controller  
The server board includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel 82559  
single chip Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. As a PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at  
up to 132 MB/s. 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  
•
•
•
•

Keyboard and Mouse  
The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. The server may be locked automatically if  
there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time, if specified through the  
System Setup Utility (SSU). Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and  
mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered.  
ACPI  
The ISP2150 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the  
ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI aware operating system can put the system into a  
state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However,  
the power supply will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the  
power supply fan and processor fans will still run.  
The ISP2150 supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. With future versions of  
Microsoft Windows† 9X that support ACPI, the BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, and s5.  
With future versions of Microsoft Windows NT†x that support ACPI, the BIOS will support sleep  
states s0, s1, s4, and s5.  
•
•
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 will restore the system state from the disk and resume  
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 PIIX4 and the BMC are running in this state.  
CAUTION  
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.  
Server Management  
Server Management features are implemented using one microcontroller.  
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)  
All server management functionality is concentrated in the BMC. The BMC and associated  
circuitry are powered from + 5V_Standby, which remains active when server power is switched off  
and the server is still plugged into AC power.  
18  
ISP2150 2U Rack Server Platform Product Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management events, and log  
their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL). These include events such as  
over-temperature and over-voltage 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 software running on the server can poll and retrieve the server’s current status.  
SEL contents can be retrieved after system failure, for analysis by field service personnel using  
server management software tools such as Intel® Server Control available on the CD-ROM that  
ships with the ISP2150 server or from the Intel Customer Support web site:  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/LB440gx/  
Because 5V_Standby powers the BMC, SEL and SDR information are also available via the IMB  
(Intelligent Management Bus). An Emergency Management Card, such as the Intel® LANDesk®  
SMM (Server Monitor Module) card available with the LANDesk Server Manager Pro package,  
can obtain the SEL and make it remotely accessible using a LAN or telephone line connection.  
While it receives the proper current, the BMC does the following:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Monitors server board temperature and voltage  
Monitors processor presence and controls FRB  
Detects and indicates baseboard fan failure  
Manages the SEL interface  
Manages the SDR Repository interface  
Monitors the SDR/SEL timestamp clock  
Manages the server board Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information interface  
Monitors the system management watchdog timer  
Monitors the periodic SMI timer  
Manages front panel NMI handling  
Monitors the event receiver  
Manages the ISA host and IMB interface  
Controls secure mode, including video blanking, floppy write-protect monitoring, and front  
panel lock/unlock initiation  
•
•
Manages the sensor event initialization agent  
Controls Wake on LAN via Magic Packet† support  
Emergency Management Port Console  
The Emergency Management Port (EMP) Console provides an interface to the Emergency  
Management Port (EMP). This interface allows remote server management via a modem or direct  
(serial port to serial port) connection.  
The server control operations available with EMP Console are:  
•
•
•
Connecting to remote servers  
Powering the server on or off  
Resetting the server  
Description  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The EMP Console uses three management plug-ins to monitor the server:  
•
•
•
SEL Viewer  
SDR Viewer  
FRU Viewer  
The EMP Console also has Phonebook plug-in that can be used to create and maintain a list of  
servers and their phone numbers.  
NOTE  
✏
EMP and PEP (Platform Event Paging) share your modem. PEP has priority  
over all applications except EMP. If an alert occurs, PEP will reset your  
modem and page you.  
Platform Event Paging  
With Platform Event Paging (PEP), your server can be configured to automatically dial up a paging  
service and page you when a platform event occurs. Platform events include temperature  
out-of-range, voltage out-of-range, chassis intrusion, fan failure, etc.  
If PEP is enabled and the BMC receives or detects a new event, it automatically sends a page. It  
can send a page if the processors are down or if the system software is unavailable.  
PEP needs an external modem connected to the server’s EMP (Emergency Management Port) serial  
connection. This is typically the COM2 serial connector.  
Software Security  
The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security features to  
prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled,  
you can access the system only after you enter 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 period 1 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.  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Activate a hot key combination to enter secure mode quickly.  
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.  
Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.

Using Passwords  
You can set the user password, the administrator password, or both passwords. If only the user  
password is set, you:  
•
•
Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.  
Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the  
BIOS Setup or SSU.  
•
Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.  
If only the administrator password is set, you:  
•
•
Must enter the administrator password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.  
Must enter the administrator password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in  
either the BIOS Setup or SSU.  
•
Must enter the administrator password to exit secure mode.  
If both passwords are set, you:  
•
•
•
•
May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. However, you will not be able to  
change many of the options.  
Must enter the administrator password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU and have  
access to all of the options.  
May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS  
Setup or SSU.  
May enter either password to exit secure mode.  
Secure Mode  
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode is in effect:  
•
You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter the user  
password to use the keyboard or mouse.  
•
You cannot turn off system power from the front panel button.  
Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via the Server Manager Module or power control  
via the real time clock.  
Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you  
press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered  
off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains  
depressed when secure mode is removed, the server will be powered off.

Description  
Secure mode  
How to enter secure mode:  
Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure mode.  
If you set a hot-key combination (through the SSU or Setup), you can secure the  
system simply by pressing the key combination. This means you do not have to  
wait for the inactivity time-out period.  
When the system is in secure mode:  
The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and keyboard input is  
not accepted until the user password is entered.  
At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive A, the  
system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the server boots  
from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.  
If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server boots from  
drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled secure mode  
features go into effect at boot time.  
To leave secure mode: Enter the correct password(s).  
Disable writing to  
diskette.  
In secure mode, the server will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a  
password is entered. To set this feature, use the SSU Security Subsystem Group.  
To write protect access to diskette whether the server is in secure mode or not, use  
the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.  
Disable the power  
button.  
Enable the feature through the SSU. Then the power button is disabled when the  
server is in secure mode.  
Set a time out period  
so that keyboard and  
mouse input are not  
accepted.  
Specify and enable an inactivity time out period of from 1 to 120 minutes.  
If no keyboard or mouse action occurs for the specified period, attempted keyboard  
and mouse input will not be accepted.  
The monitor display will go blank, and the diskette drive will be write protected  
(if these security features are enabled through Setup or the SSU).  
Also, screen can be  
blanked, and writes to  
diskette can be  
inhibited.  
To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s).  
Control access to  
using the SSU: set  
administrative  
password.  
To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set an  
administrative password and enable it through Setup or the SSU.  
If both the administrative and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to  
boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the administrative  
password will allow Setup and the SSU to be changed.  
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change  
Password menu of the Administrative Password Option menu found in the Security  
Subsystem Group.  
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear  
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).

To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through  
Setup or the SSU.  
To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change  
Password menu of the User Password Option menu found in the Security  
Subsystem Group.  
To clear the password if you cannot access Setup or the SSU, change the Clear  
Password jumper (see Chapter 5).  
Boot without keyboard. The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST, before the system  
completes the boot sequence, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the  
keyboard if it is present and displays a message. There is no entry in the SSU to  
enable or disable a keyboard.  
Specify the boot  
sequence.  
The sequence that you specify on the menu in the SSU MultiBoot Group will  
determine the boot order. If secure mode is enabled (a user password is set), then  
you will be prompted for a password before the server fully boots. If secure mode is  
enabled and the “Secure Boot Mode” option is also enabled, the server will fully boot  
but will require a password before accepting any keyboard or mouse input.  
Checking the Power Cords  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to modify or use AC power cords that are not the exact  
type required.  
In some cases the power cord supplied with this system may not be compatible with the AC wall  
outlet in your region. If this is true, you must obtain a suitable power cord that meets the following  
criteria:  
•
The 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 server.  
•
The AC plug end that plugs into the wall outlet must be terminated in a grounding-type plug  
designed for use in your region. The plug ends must be labeled or marked to indicate an  
acceptable certifier in your region has certified them.  
•
•
The connector that plugs into the AC inlet on the server must be an IEC 320, sheet C13, female  
type connector.  
For use in Europe, the cord must be less than 4.5 meters (14.76 feet) long, and it must be  
flexible <HAR> (harmonized) or VDE certified cordage.

Equipment Rack Precautions  
SAFETY WARNINGS  
ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored  
to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or  
more servers 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.  
MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an  
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect  
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to  
the entire unit, not just to the server(s).  
GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an  
electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding  
conductor with the rack installation. If server power cords are plugged  
into AC outlets that are part of the rack, then you must provide proper  
grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into  
wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord  
provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide  
additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed  
in it.  
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION: The server is designed for an  
AC line voltage source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection.  
If the power system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch  
circuit with more than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide  
supplemental protection for the server. If more than one server is  
installed in the rack, the power source for each server must be from a  
separate branch circuit.  
CAUTIONS  
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an  
equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F).  
Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your  
server.  
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front  
of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation  
sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 1,500 Btu’s per hour for each server.  
The rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the  
environment in which the server will be used.

2 Upgrading and Installing Server Components  
Tools and Supplies Needed  
•
•
•
•
Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)  
Jumper removal tool or needle nosed pliers  
Pen or pencil  
Anti-static wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)  
Warnings and Cautions  
These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person  
should access the inside of the system.  
SAFETY WARNINGS  
System power on/off: To remove power from system, you must press  
the power button off and unplug the AC power cords from the wall  
outlet or the system.  
Hazardous conditions, power supply: Hazardous voltage, current,  
and energy levels are present inside the power supply. There are no  
user-serviceable parts inside it; servicing should be done by technically  
qualified personnel.  
Hazardous conditions, devices, and cables: Hazardous electrical  
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication  
cables. Turn off the system and disconnect the power cords,  
telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the  
system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment  
damage can result.  
CAUTIONS  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can  
damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you do all  
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD-protected workstation. If one is  
not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist  
strap attached to chassis ground any unpainted metal surface on your  
system when handling parts.  
25  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
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 system, place it  
component-side UP on a grounded, static-free surface. If you place the  
baseboard on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out. If they  
do, this will result in a loss of CMOS data and will drain the battery. Use a  
conductive foam pad if available but NOT the board wrapper. Do not slide  
board over any surface.  
Cooling and airflow: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the  
chassis access cover before turning on the system. Operating the system  
without the cover in place can damage system parts.  
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 small or 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.

Processors  
WARNING  
If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on  
the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be  
careful when removing or installing server board components that are  
located near processors.  
CAUTIONS  
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server 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 web site:  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/LB440gx  
Heat sink must be appropriate: Depending on your configuration, the  
existing processor may have a passive heat sink. If you REPLACE the  
processor with a faster one, it must have an active fan heat sink (powered fan  
instead of a passive heat sink). If you ADD a second processor, it must have  
a fan heat sink. When adding a processor, you must leave the existing one in  
the primary connector (closest to the DIMM slots on the server board).  
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.

Installing a Processor  
The server supports up to two Intel Pentium II or Pentium III processors (with 100 MHz system  
bus). If you are installing two processors, make sure they are the same speed, voltage, and  
stepping.  
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional  
cautions given here.  
2. Remove the new processor from its anti-static package and place it on a grounded, static free  
surface or conductive foam pad.  
3. Attach the small end of the power cable to the fan connector on the S.E.C. cartridge, then attach  
the connector (E) to the 3-pin signal prongs (F) on the server board.

CAUTION, SINGLE-PROCESSOR CONFIGURATIONS  
If you install only one processor in a system, it must go in the primary  
connector (closest to the DIMM sockets). With a single-processor  
configuration, you must install a termination board and termination latch  
assembly (A) in the empty secondary connector (B) to ensure proper  
operation of your system. A termination board is provided with your system.

Removing a Processor  
If your server has one processor and you are REPLACING it, leave the termination board intact in  
the secondary connector. Remove the processor you want to replace. If your server has two  
processors and you are REPLACING one or both, remove the appropriate one(s).  
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter and the additional  
cautions given here. If the processor has a fan heat sink, disconnect the power wire (E in  
Figure 8) from the connector on the server board (F in Figure 8).  
2. As you work, place boards and processors on a grounded, static free surface or conductive  
foam pad.  
3. Press the processor latches away from the center of the S.E.C. cartridge (A in Figure 8) to free

Installing the Rail Rack and Racking the System (Optional  
Accessory)  
The rail kit that comes with your system allows you to install it into a four-post, network server  
cabinet (e.g. APC Netshelter). If the cabinet is not of this general type, you will have to purchase a  
separate rail kit that is specific to your cabinet.  
Follow these steps to install the rail kit and place your system into the cabinet.  
1. Assemble tools and miscellaneous parts.

Power On Self Test (POST)  
Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the server board, processor,  
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 length of time needed to test memory  
depends on the amount of memory installed. POST is stored in flash memory.  
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 until POST completes or  
until the user presses F2:  
Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP  
Keyboard.....Detected  
Mouse........Detected  
3. During peripheral device detection, the following message appears:  
Press <Ctrl><A> to enter SCSI Utility  
4. Press <Ctrl+A> if there are SCSI devices installed. When the utility opens, follow the  
displayed instructions to configure the onboard SCSI host adapter settings and to run the  
SCSI utilities. Also see “Using the Adaptec SCSI Utility” on page 99. If you do not enter the  
SCSI utility, the boot process continues.  
5. 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.  
After POST completes, the system beeps once.  
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 beep codes and error messages that POST can generate, see  
the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.

Using BIOS Setup  
This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the server configuration. You  
can run Setup with or without an operating system being present. Setup stores most of the  
configuration values in battery backed CMOS; the rest of the values are stored in flash memory.  
The values take effect when you boot the server. POST uses these values to configure the  
hardware; if the values and the actual hardware do not agree, POST generates an error message.  
You must then run Setup to specify the correct configuration.  
Run Setup: You may run Setup to modify such server board feature as:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Select diskette drive  
Select parallel port  
Select serial port  
Set time/date (to be stored in RTC)  
Configure IDE hard drive  
Specify boot device sequence  
Enable SCSI BIOS  
View processor speed  
Run SSU, not Setup: You must run the SSU instead of Setup to do the following:  
•
•
•

Record Your Setup Settings  
If the values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run Setup again.  
Referring to the worksheets could make your task easier.  
If You Cannot Access Setup  
If the diskette drive is mis-configured so that you cannot access it to run a utility from a diskette,  
you may need to clear CMOS memory. You will need to open the server, change a jumper setting,  
use Setup to check and set diskette drive options, and change the jumper back. For a step-by-step  
procedure, see Chapter 5, under the heading, “CMOS Jumper.”

Using the System Setup Utility  
The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server  
configuration. For the ISP2150 system, the SSU framework supports the following functions and  
capabilities:  
•
assigns resources to baseboard devices and add-in cards prior to loading the operating  
system (OS)  
•
•
•
•
allows you to specify boot device order and system security options  
permits viewing and clearing of the system’s system event log  
allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational  
provides a system level view of the server’s I/O devices

When to Run the System Setup Utility  
The SSU is a DOS-based utility that supports extended system configuration operations for onboard  
resources and add-in boards. You can also view the system event log and to set system boot and  
security options. Use the SSU when you need to:  
•
•
•
•
•
add and remove boards affecting the assignment of resources (ports, memory, IRQs, DMA)  
modify the server’s boot device order or security settings  
change the server configuration settings  
save the server configuration  
view or clear the system event log  
If you install or remove an ISA add-in board, you must run the SSU to reconfigure the server.  
Running the SSU is optional for PCI and Plug and Play ISA add-in boards.  
The SSU is PCI aware, and it complies with the ISA Plug and Play specifications. The SSU works  
with any compliant configuration (.CFG) files supplied by the peripheral device manufacturer.  
The I/O baseboard comes with a .CFG file. The .CFG file describes the characteristics of the board  
and the system resources that it requires. The configuration registers on PCI and ISA Plug and Play  
add-in boards contain the same type of information that is in a .CFG file. Some ISA boards also  
come with a .CFG file.  
The SSU uses the information provided by .CFG files, configuration registers, FLASH, and the  
information that you enter, to specify a system configuration. The SSU writes the configuration  
information to flash memory.  
The SSU stores configuration values in FLASH memory. These values take effect when you boot  
the server. POST checks the values against the actual hardware configuration; if they do not agree,  
POST generates an error message. You must then run the SSU to specify the correct configuration  
before the server boots.  
The SSU always includes a checksum with the configuration data so the BIOS can detect any  
potential data corruption before the actual hardware configuration takes place.  
What You Need to Do  
The SSU may be run directly from the Server Resource CD by booting the server system to the CD  
and selecting “Utilities” or from a set of DOS diskettes.  
If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from  
the Server Resource CD by booting to the CD and selecting “Create Diskettes.” Alternatively, if  
you have a Windows 98 or Windows NT workstation, you can insert the CD into that system and  
create diskettes from the “Utilities” menu of the graphical user interface.  
If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use the flash resident Setup  
utility to enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you  
exit the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered using Setup.

Running the SSU  
•
Running the SSU Locally  
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly  
from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file is automatically run. If it boots from a different media, the  
SSU can be started manually or by another application. When the SSU starts in the local  
execution mode (the default mode), the SSU accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse.  
The SSU presents a VGA based Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.  
The SSU runs from writable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If the SSU  
is run from non-writable media, user preference settings (such as screen colors) can not be  
saved.  
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other ROM-DOS-  
compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will not operate from a  
“DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.  
Running the SSU Remotely  
•
Running the SSU remotely requires a remote server with a LANDesk Server Monitor  
Module 2 (SMM2) card and a local system with Remote Control software available.  
The SMM2 card provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support for the  
remote server. The Remote Control console of the local system displays and sends video  
memory and user input to the remote server through either a modem or an Ethernet link.  
Because the SSU runs exclusively on the remote server, any files required for the SSU to run  
must be available on the remote server (on removable or non-removable media).  
If you connect the local system to the remote server through a network or modem you can see  
the console, control the mouse, and control the keyboard of the remote server.  
Starting the SSU  
SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the  
Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for  
individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality the SSU  
requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and  
.INI files.  
1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.  
2. There are two ways to start the SSU.  
a. After creating set of three SSU diskettes from the CD: Insert the first SSU diskette in  
drive A, and <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette.  
b. Directly from the Server Resource CD: Insert the Server Resource CD into your  
CD ROM drive and press <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot. When prompted to do so, press <F2>  
to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu, select the Boot Device Priority option and then  
select CD-ROM as your primary boot device. Save those settings and exit BIOS Setup.  
The server will boot from the CD-ROM and display a menu of options. Follow the  
instructions in the menu to start the SSU.  
3. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.  
4. The mouse driver loads if it is available, press <Enter> to continue.

Customizing the SSU  
The SSU lets you customize the user interface according to your preferences. The AF sets these  
preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the  
SSU. There are four user customizable settings:  
•
Color - this button lets you change the default colors associated with different items on the  
screen with predefined color combinations. The color changes are instantaneous.  
Mode - this button lets you set the desired expertise level.  
•
novice  
intermediate  
expert  
The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available Tasks section and what  
actions each task performs. For a new mode setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and  
restart it.  
•
•
Language - this button lets you change the strings in the SSU to strings of the appropriate  
language. For a new language setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.  
Other - this button lets you change other miscellaneous options in the SSU. The changes take  
effect immediately.  
To change the interface default values:  
Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the Preferences section of the SSU Main window.  
or  
Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the spacebar or <Enter>.  
or  
Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt + underlined letter).  
NOTE  
✏
If you run the SSU from non-writable media (like a CD-ROM), these  
preferences will be lost when you exit the SSU.  
Launching a Task  
It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although some tasks may require complete  
control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete control by keeping the task as the  
center of operation until you close the task window.  
To launch a task:  
In the SSU Main window, double click on the task name under Available Tasks to display the main  
window for the selected task.  
or  
Highlight the task name, and click on OK.  
or

Resource Configuration Add-in (RCA) Window  
The RCA provides three major functions:  
•
•
•
Creates representations of devices that cannot be discovered by the system (ISA cards)  
Modifies the contents of the system by adding and removing devices  
Modifies the resources used by devices  
You can use the RCA window to define an ISA card or add an ISA card by clicking on the  
appropriate button. Removing an ISA card requires that the card be highlighted in the Devices  
section of the screen before clicking on the button. You can only add as many ISA cards as you  
have ISA slots available.  
1. From the SSU main window, launch the RCA by selecting the “Resources” task under the RCA  
heading in the task box.  
2. When the RCA window appears, it displays messages similar to the following:  
Baseboard: Server board Server board  
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 00 -– Host Processor Bridge  
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 0D –- Multifunction Controller  
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 0F –- Ethernet Controller  
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 12 –- Multifunction Controller  
PCI Card: Bus 00 dev 14 –- VGA Controller  
3. To configure a device, select its name in the Devices section of the RCA window, and press the  
spacebar or <Enter>, or click on it.  
4. It is possible to close the RCA window and return to the AF by clicking on the Close button.  
Any changes made will be kept in memory for use by the RCA when it is rerun.  
5. Save all the changes made by clicking on the Save button. Saving writes your current  
configuration to nonvolatile storage where it will be available to the system after every reboot.  
6. Closing the window by clicking on the system menu, the dash in the upper left corner, discards  
all changes.  
Defining an ISA Card  
An ISA card usually comes with a vendor created .CFG file that specifies the resources the card  
requires to function properly. If the .CFG file is unavailable, you must manually create it or define  
the card through the SSU. Defining an ISA card consists of specifying the name of the card and the  
resources it consumes. This allows the RCA to consider the ISA card resource requirements when  
the RCA tries to resolve conflicts. The information is also used by the system BIOS to configure  
the hardware when the system is booted.  
1. To add or remove ISA card resources, click on the appropriate resource buttons, select the  
desired value, and click on Add or Remove.  
2. After you complete the necessary information, click on Save.  
3. To edit a card, click on Load to retrieve the card information. After making changes, click  
on Save.  
4. To create a card, click on New.  
5. To remove a current definition of a card, click on Delete.

Platform Event Paging  
With Platform Event Paging (PEP), your server can be configured to automatically dial up a paging  
service and page you when a server management related event occurs. Platform events include  
temperature out-of-range, voltage out-of-range, chassis intrusion, and fan failure.  
If PEP is enabled and the BMC receives or detects a new event, it automatically sends a page. It  
can send a page if the processors are down or if the system software is unavailable.  
PEP needs an external modem connected to the server’s EMP (Emergency Management Port) serial  
connection. This is typically the COM2 serial connector.  
Verify in BIOS Setup of your server board whether or not your system BIOS includes PEP. If not  
you can download it from the Intel Customer Support website when it becomes available.  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/LB440gx  
Using Platform Event Paging  
1. Enter Setup.  
2. Enter the PEP Management submenu from the Server Menu.  
3. Set the PEP Enable field to Enable.  
4. Enter your page string in the PEP Page String field. This consists of the attention command for  
you modem (generally ATDT), the number of your paging service, several commas (each  
comma is a 1 second pause), the number/message you wish to appear on your pager, and the  
hang-up command for your modem (generally ATH). You will need to experiment with the  
timing to ensure you are paged properly. Set the Send Test Page field to Send Test Page Now  
to generate a test page.  
5. If you wish to filter events so that only certain events will originate a page, enter the PEP Filter  
submenu.  
a. Set the PEF Enable field to Enable.  
b. Enable all of the events about which you want to be paged.  
c. Escape out of the PEP Filter submenu.  
6. Set the time between pages with the Page Blackout Field. If you want to wait five minutes  
between pages, set it to 5. The range is from 0 to 255 minutes.  
7. Exit BIOS Setup.

Emergency Management Port Console  
The Emergency Management Port (EMP) Console is a software application designed to run on a  
Windows 98 or Windows NT 4.0 workstation and provides a server administrator’s interface to the  
Emergency Management Port (EMP) of the ISP2150 server. This interface allows remote server  
management via a modem or direct connection.  
The server control operations available with EMP Console are:  
•
•
•
Connecting to remote servers  
Powering the server on or off  
Resetting the server  
The EMP Console uses three management plug-ins to monitor the server:  
•
•
•
SEL Viewer  
SDR Viewer  
FRU Viewer  
The EMP Console also has Phonebook plug-in that can be used to create and maintain a list of  
servers and their phone numbers.

How EMP Console Works  
The EMP shares use of the COM2 port with the system on the server. When the EMP has control  
of the port, the port operates in command mode. When the system has control, the port operates in  
console redirect mode. When connecting to a server, the EMP Console checks to determine the  
mode of the COM2 port. The following discussion covers how EMP Console functions in  
each mode:  
•
Command mode is the default COM2 state. In this state, EMP Console communicates with the  
server’s firmware, allowing the client to remotely reset or power the server up or down. The  
client can also view the server’s System Event Log (SEL), Field Replaceable Unit (FRU)  
information, or Sensor Data Record (SDR) table.  
•
In console redirect mode, EMP Console serves as a PC ANSI terminal window for  
BIOS console redirection. Commands typed in this terminal window are transmitted through  
BIOS to the server’s console, and text displayed on the server console is displayed on the  
EMP Console’s terminal window. In this mode, you can remotely view boot messages, access  
BIOS setup, and run DOS text mode applications through the EMP Console’s terminal window.

Figure 37. EMP Console in Redirect State  
Figure 37 shows EMP Console window in redirect mode with the terminal window. The text that  
appears on the server monitor displays in the Redirect window.  
Availability of the various EMP Console features are determined by two factors: the BIOS  
EMP access mode and if the server’s COM2 port is configured for console redirection. The three  
EMP access modes are disabled, pre-boot, and always active.

Client Configuration: EMP Console supports all COM ports on the client system, along with any  
Windows NT/98 compatible modem.  
Server Configuration: EMP Console requires the server’s COM2 port to be connected to an  
external modem or directly connected to a serial cable.  
Direct Connect Configuration: A null modem serial cable is needed. Connect one end of the  
cable to the COM2 port of server and the other to a port on the client machine.  
Modem Configuration: On the client, EMP Console uses the Windows Application Program  
Interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The EMP Console does not  
configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through Windows.  
For modem support, the server must use a Hayes compatible modem that supports a baud rate of  
19.2k. The modem must be on the Windows 98 or NT Hardware Compatibility List provided by  
Microsoft. The server modem must be set in auto-answer mode for EMP Console to be able to  
connect to it.

Setting up the Server for the EMP  
To use the EMP, you must configure the server’s BIOS with specific settings. These settings are  
found in two submenus of the BIOS Server menu, the System Management Submenu and the  
Console Redirection submenu. The BIOS settings section, found earlier in this document, shows  
all the available options. This section focuses on the settings that must be configured in order to  
use the EMP.  
System Management Submenu  
All EMP related settings occur in the Server main menu. Change only the items below; all other  
default settings should remain the same.  
EMP Password Switch & EMP Password: Anytime an attempt to initiate a connection is made, a  
prompt for the user password appears. If no EMP password is setup, then anyone can access the  
EMP by clicking OK.  
In the EMP Password area of the Server menu, the EMP Password Switch option must be set to  
enable. Then type in a password of up to eight alphanumeric characters. If a beep is heard, the  
password was accepted.  
EMP Access Modes: Choose either Disabled, Pre-boot, or Always Active, depending on the type  
of EMP access needed. The tables above show what is available with a given setting.  
EMP Restricted Mode Access: Set Restricted Mode to either enabled or disabled as needed. If in  
enabled mode, this means that EMP Console’s server control options, Power off and Reset, are  
unavailable, except power on. In disabled mode, these same server control options are available.  
EMP Direct Connect/Modem Mode: Select Direct Connect if a null modem serial cable directly  
connects the server’s COM2 port to the EMP Console client machine. If they are connected via a  
modem, select Modem Mode.  
Console Redirection Submenu  
The settings in the Console Redirection Submenu of the Server menu must be set exactly as noted  
to be able to use the EMP.  
COM Port Address: Select 2F8. This is the COM2 port that must be used by the EMP. The  
IRQ# setting is automatically populated with the correct number based on the COM Port Address  
choice.  
Baud Rate: Select 19.2k.  
Flow Control: Choose CTS/RTS + CD.

FRUSDR Load Utility  
The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) Load Utility is a DOS-based  
program used to update the server management subsystem’s product level FRU, SDR, and the  
Desktop Management Interface (DMI) nonvolatile storage components (EEPROMs). The  
load utility  
•
•
•
discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master configuration file  
displays the FRU information  
updates the nonvolatile storage device (EEPROM) associated with the Baseboard Management  
Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area  
•
•
updates the DMI area located in the BIOS nonvolatile storage device  
generically handles FRU devices that may not be associated with the BMC  
When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility  
You should run the FRUSDR Load Utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your  
server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. For example, if you replace an array of  
fans, you need to run the utility. It programs the sensors that need to be monitored for server  
management.  
Because the firmware must reload to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the  
server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 60 seconds, and  
reconnect the power cords.  
What You Need to Do  
The FRUSDR Load Utility may be run directly from the Configuration Software CD or from a  
diskette you create from the CD. It can be extracted from the CD by booting to the CD and  
selecting “Make Diskettes” or by inserting the CD into a PC running Windows 98 or NT and  
selecting the “Utilities” section.  
NOTE  
✏
If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use  
BIOS Setup to enable it. If necessary, you can disable the drive after you are  
done with the FRUSDR utility.

How You Use the FRUSDR Load Utility  
This utility is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS† Ver. 6.22, and later versions. The  
utility accepts CFG, SDR and FRU load files. The executable file for the utility is frusdr.exe. The  
utility requires the following supporting files:  
•
•
•
one or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units  
a .cfg file describing the system configuration  
a .sdr file describing the sensors in the system  
Command Line Format  
The basic command line format is  
frusdr [/?] [/h] [/d {dmi, fru, sdr}] [/cfg filename.cfg] /p  
Command  
frusdr  
Description  
Is the name of the utility.

Uses custom CFG file.  
Pause between blocks of data.  
/? or /h  
/d {dmi, fru, sdr}  
/cfg filename.cfg  
/p  
Parsing the Command Line  
The FRUSDR Load Utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line  
function may consist of two parameters; for example, cfg filename.cfg. Any invalid parameters  
result in displaying an error message and exiting the program. You can use either a slash (/) or a  
minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The /p flag may be used in conjunction with any  
of the other options.  
Displaying Usage Information  
When the utility is run with the /? or /h command line flags, the following message is displayed:  
FRU & SDR Load Utility Version 3.0  
Usage: Frusdr  
/? Or /h

/cfg filename.cfg  
/p  
Pause between blocks of data.  
Displaying a Given Area  
When the utility is run with the /d DMI, /d FRU, or /d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is  
displayed. Each area represents a sensor; one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If  
the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware  
failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.

Displaying DMI Area  
The DMI area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a number when the field  
is a number. Each DMI area displayed is headed with the DMI area designated name. Each field  
has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number.  
Displaying FRU Area  
The FRU area is displayed in ASCII format when the field is ASCII or as a number when the field  
is a number. Each FRU area displayed is headed with the FRU area designated name. Each field  
has a field name header followed by the field in ASCII or as a number. The Board, Chassis, and  
Product FRU areas end with an END OF FIELDS CODE that indicates there is no more data in this  
area. The Internal Use area is displayed in hex format, 16 bytes per line.  
Displaying SDR Area  
The SDR nonvolatile storage area is displayed in the following hex format. The data is separated  
by a Sensor Record Number X header, where X is the number of that sensor record in the  
SDR area. The next line after the header is the sensor record data in hex format delineated by  
spaces. Each line holds up to 16 bytes. The data on each line is followed by the same data in  
ASCII format; nonprintable characters are substituted by a period (.).  
Using Specified CFG File  
The utility can be run with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename can be  
any DOS accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the specified CFG file and  
uses the entries in the configuration file to probe the hardware and to select the proper SDRs to load  
into nonvolatile storage.  
Displaying Utility Title and Version  
The utility displays its title:  
FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version 3.0  
Where X.XX is the revision number for the utility.  
Configuration File  
The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings  
present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to perform various tasks needed  
to ultimately load the proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic  
FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice.  
Prompting for Product Level FRU Information  
Through the use of a Configuration File, the utility may prompt you for FRU information.  
Filtering Sensor Data Record From the SDR File  
The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. These records may need to be  
filtered based on the current product configuration. The configuration file directs the filtering of  
the SDRs.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Updating the SDR Nonvolatile Storage Area  
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR repository  
area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area. The SDR file is loaded via  
the .cfg File. Then the utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in  
the Configuration File. Nontagged SDRs are automatically programmed. It contains an image of  
what was loaded, and the TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.  
Updating FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area  
After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU nonvolatile storage area. First it  
verifies the Common Header area and checksum from the specified FRU file. The Internal Use  
Area is read out of the specified .FRU file and is programmed into the nonvolatile storage. The  
Chassis, Board, Product and MultiRecord areas are read out of the specified .FRU file, if they exist,  
then those areas are programmed into the FRU nonvolatile storage.  
Updating DMI FRU Nonvolatile Storage Area  
After programming the BMC FRU area, the utility then programs the following Chassis, Board, and  
Product FRU information to the DMI fields, but only when dictated by the Configuration File.  
If a failure occurs, the utility displays an error message and exits.  
Cleaning Up and Exiting  
If an update was successfully performed, the utility displays an appropriate message and then exits  
with a DOS exit code of zero.  
If the utility fails, it immediately exits with an error message and a non-zero DOS exit code.

Installing Video Drivers  
After configuring the system, you need to install video drivers to take full advantage of the features  
of the onboard Cirrus Logic CL-GD5480 super VGA video controller.  
•
The LB440GX Resource CD includes video drivers for use with DOS and Windows NT.  
Check the README.TXT file on the CD for information on installing these drivers.  
For other operating systems, see your OS instructions for installing device drivers.  
•
Using the Adaptec SCSI Utility  
The Adaptec SCSI utility detects the SCSI host adapters on the server board. The utility runs out of  
BIOS and is used to  
•
•
Change default values  
Check and/or change SCSI device settings that may conflict with those of other devices in the  
server  
Running the SCSI Utility  
1. When this message appears on the video monitor:

4 Solving Problems  
This chapter helps you identify and solve problems that might occur while you are using the  
system.  
Resetting the System  
To do this:  
Press:  
Soft boot reset, which clears system memory and reloads the  
operating system.  
<Ctrl+Alt+Del> or  
Reset button on system front panel  
Cold boot reset. Turn the system power off and then on. This  
clears system memory, restarts POST, reloads the operating  
system, and halts power to all peripherals.  
Power off/on  
Fault Resilient Booting  
Fault resilient booting insures the system will not stop from a boot problem. Two sets of timers are  
implemented in the BMC that will automatically reset the system if the system should halt for some  
reason.  
•
FRB 2 - 5 sec timer. If the primary processor does not come up in 5 seconds the system will  
automatically reset and switch to the secondary processor (if installed). If a second processor is  
not installed, the system will try to restart off the primary processor.  
•
FRB 3 - 7 minute timer. If the system does not make it up to the end of POST in 7 minutes, the  
system will automatically reset and try again. It is assumed that the processor failed regardless  
of what may have caused the system to hang. The primary processor is taken off line and the  
system will boot off the secondary (if installed otherwise it will try to restart again off of the  
primary). Bad memory or a bad plug in card may cause an FRB 3 failure.  
All failures are logged to the system event log.  
The system will remember all FRB errors and display them at the end of POST until you select the  
Processor Retest option from the BIOS Setup utility.  
Initial System Startup  
Incorrect installation or configuration usually causes problems that occur at initial system startup.  
Hardware failure is a less frequent cause.

Checklist  
q Are all cables correctly connected and secured?  
q Are the processors or processor termination board fully seated in their slots on the server  
board?  
q Are all add-in PCI boards fully seated in their slots on the riser card?  
q Are all switch and jumper settings on the server board correct?  
q Are all jumper and switch settings on add-in boards and peripheral devices correct? To check  
these settings, refer to the manufacturer’s documentation that comes with them. If applicable,  
ensure that there are no conflicts—for example, two add-in boards sharing the same interrupt.

q Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating system documentation.  
q Did you press the system power on/off switch on the front panel to turn the server on (power on  
light should be lit)?  
q Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged into a  
NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 V∼ or a NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 V∼?  
q Is AC power available at the wall outlet?  
q Are all integrated components from the tested components lists? Check the tested memory, and  
chassis lists, as well as the supported hardware and operating system list on the Intel Customer  
Support website:  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/LB440gx/compat.htm  
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.  
Checklist  
q Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? See the software  
documentation.  
q Is the software an authorized copy? If not, get one; unauthorized copies often do not work.  
q If you are running the software from a diskette, is it a good copy?  
q If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, is the disk scratched or dirty?  
q If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, is the software correctly installed? Were  
all necessary procedures followed and files installed?  
q Are the correct device drivers installed?  
q Is the software correctly configured for the system?  
q Are you using the software correctly?  
If the problems persist, contact the software vendor’s customer service representative.

After the System Has Been Running Correctly  
Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running correctly often  
indicate equipment failure. Many situations that are easy to correct, however, can also cause such  
problems.  
Checklist  
q If you are running the software from a diskette, try a new copy of the software.  
q If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, try a different disk to see if the problem  
occurs on all disks.  
q If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, try running it from a diskette. If the  
software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on the hard disk drive. Reinstall  
the software on the hard disk, and try running it again. Make sure all necessary files are  
installed.  
q 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.  
q 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  
✏
Random errors in data files: If you are getting random errors in your data  
files, they may be getting corrupted by voltage spikes on your power line. If  
you are experiencing any of the above symptoms that might indicate voltage  
spikes on the power line, you may want to install a surge suppressor between  
the power outlet and the system power cord.

More Problem Solving Procedures  
This section provides a more detailed approach to identifying a problem and locating its source.  
Preparing the System for Diagnostic Testing  
CAUTION  
Turn off devices before disconnecting cables: 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 of them from the  
system, except the keyboard and video monitor.  
2. Make sure the system power cord is 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 (see 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 LED does not light, see “Power Light Does Not Light” on  
page 105.  
Monitoring POST  
See Chapter 3.  
Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Lights  
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 light should turn on briefly. Check  
for the following:  
q Does the diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “Diskette Drive Activity Light  
Does Not Light” on page 107.  
q If a second diskette drive is installed, does its activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “Diskette  
Drive Activity Light Does Not Light” on page 107.  
q If there is a hard disk drive or SCSI devices installed in the system, does the hard disk drive  
activity light on the control panel turn on briefly? If not, see “Hard Disk Drive Activity Light  
Does Not Light" on page 107.  
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, see “Initial  
System Startup” on page 101.

Cannot Connect to a Server  
q Make sure you are using the drivers that are shipped on the system Configuration Software CD  
for the onboard network controller.  
q Make sure the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound.  
q Make sure the network cable is securely attached to the connector at the system back panel and  
that the network controller Link LED is on (visible at back panel). If the cable is attached but  
the problem persists, try a different cable.  
q Make sure the hub port is configured for the same duplex mode as the network controller.  
q Check with your LAN administrator about the correct networking software that needs to be  
installed.  
q If you are directly connecting two servers (no hub), you will need a crossover cable (see your  
hub documentation for more information on crossover cables).  
q Check the network controller LEDs that are visible through an opening at the system back  
panel.  
Problems with Network  
The server hangs when the drivers are loaded.  
q Change the PCI BIOS interrupt settings. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.  
Diagnostics pass, but the connection fails.  
q Make sure the network cable is securely attached.  
q Make sure you specify the correct frame type in your NET.CFG file.  
The Link LED doesn’t light.  
q Make sure you have loaded the network drivers.  
q Check all cable connections.  
q Try another port on the hub.  
q Make sure you have the correct type of cable between the adapter and the hub. Some hubs  
require a crossover cable while others require a straight through cable (for more information on  
crossover cabling, see your hub documentation).  
The Activity LED doesn’t light.  
q Make sure you’ve loaded the correct network drivers.  
q Network may be idle. Try accessing a server.  
108  
ISP2150 2U Rack Server Platform Product Guide

The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed.  
q Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.  
q Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below.  
q Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system  
supports shared interrupts; OS/2† does not.  
q Try reseating the add in adapter.  
The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.  
q Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.  
q The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall the drivers.  
q Run the diagnostics.  
PCI Installation Tips  
Some common PCI tips are listed here.  
q Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for ISA adapters. This  
prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings ISA cards are using. Use the SSU to  
keep track of ISA adapter resources.  
q Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers. The SSU 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.  
Problems with Application Software  
If you have problems with application software, do the following:  
q Verify that the software is properly configured for the system. See the software installation and  
operation documentation for instructions on setting up and using the software.  
q Try a different copy of the software to see if the problem is with the copy you are using.  
q Make sure all cables are installed correctly.  
q Verify that the server board jumpers are set correctly. See Chapter 5.  
q 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 help.  
Bootable CD-ROM Is Not Detected  
Check the following:  
q Is the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the first bootable device?

Error and Informational Messages  
When you turn on the system, POST displays messages that provide information about the system.  
If a failure occurs, POST emits beep codes that indicate errors in hardware, software, or firmware.  
If POST can display a message on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as  
the message appears.  
Port-80 Codes and Countdown Codes  
After the video adapter has been successfully initialized, the BIOS indicates the current testing  
phase during POST after the video adapter has been successfully initialized by outputting a 2-digit  
hex code to I/O location 80h. If a port-80h ISA POST card is installed, it displays the 2-digit code  
on a pair of hex display LEDs. Refer to the POST card documentation for a listing of specific  
errors.

General Procedure to Change Jumper Setting  
The short general procedure for changing a configuration setting is the same for most of the jumper  
functions, so we will describe it here.  
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.  
2. Turn off all connected peripherals, turn off system power, and disconnect the AC power cord.  
3. Remove the cover. You do not need to remove the server board from the chassis, and you  
probably do not need to remove any add-in boards.  
4. Locate the configuration jumpers at the edge of the server board toward the front of the system.  
5. Move jumper to pins specified for the desired setting.  
6. Reinstall the cover, connect the power cord, and turn on the system for the change to take  
effect.  
7. You may need to repeat these steps to move the jumper back to its original setting, depending  
on the jumper function.

Equipment Rack Precautions  
WARNINGS  
ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored  
to an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or  
more servers 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.  
MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an  
AC power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect  
must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to  
the entire unit, not just to the server(s).  
GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an  
electrical shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding  
conductor with the rack installation. If server power cords are plugged  
into AC outlets that are part of the rack, then you must provide proper  
grounding for the rack itself. If server power cords are plugged into  
wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power cord  
provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide  
additional, proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed  
in it.  
Overcurrent protection: The server is designed for an AC line voltage  
source with up to 20 amperes of overcurrent protection. If the power  
system for the equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more  
than 20 amperes of protection, you must provide supplemental  
protection for the server. If more than one server is installed in the  
rack, the power source for each server must be from a separate branch  
circuit. The overall current rating of a server configured with three  
power supplies is under 12 amperes.  
CAUTIONS  
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an  
equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F).  
Extreme fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your  
server.  
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front  
of the server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation  
sufficient to exhaust a maximum of 4,100 Btu's per hour for the server. The  
rack selected and the ventilation provided must be suitable to the  
environment in which the server will be used.

Current Usage  
As an overall current usage limitation on the power supply, do not exceed a combined power output  
of 167 watts for the +5 and +3.3 volt outputs.  
The PCI slots on the server board are rated at a maximum of 5 amperes per slot. The maximum  
power allowed for each slot is 20 watts at +5 volts. The average current usage per slot should not  
exceed 3.0 amperes per slot; that is, 15 watts.  
The cooling efficiency varies per slot; therefore, ensure that adequate cooling is available in the  
target slot—especially in an expansion slot drawing more than 2.0 amperes.  
Calculating Power Consumption  
The total combined wattage for the system configuration must be less than the output of your power  
supply. Use the two worksheets in this section to calculate the power used by your server boards.  
For current and voltage requirements of add-in boards and peripherals, see your vendor documents.
