This processor uses the .13 micron technology. Memory The system board has six 168-pin DIMM slots each supporting 72-bit ECC registered DDR DIMMs (DDR 200 or DDR 266 compatible). Memory is partitioned in three banks. You may install a minimum of 256 MB (128 MB x 2) and as much as 12 GB. Memory must be installed in pairs, starting with bank 1 (slots 1B and 1A). 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. PCI Riser Slots The server board has two PCI riser slots. Riser slot B provides the following features: · · · 184-pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector Support for either a 1-slot or a 3-slot PCI riser card Support for both full size and low profile PCI cards Riser C provides the following features: · · · · 184-pin, 5 volt keyed, 64-bit expansion slot connector Support for either a 1-slot or a 3-slot PCI riser card Support for only low profile PCI cards Radios Enabled for use with zero channel RAID cards (SCSI version only) Video The MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board uses an ATI RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator with 8 MB of video SDRAM. The embedded SVGA video subsystem supports: · · Resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 under 2D and 1024 x 768 under 3D CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate The server board supports disabling of the onboard video through the BIOS setup menu or when a plug in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots. SCSI Controller The SCSI version of the server board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC-7902W controller providing dual Ultra 320 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI channels. 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 other end of the cable must also be terminated. LVD devices generally do not have termination built-in and need to have a termination source provided. Non-LVDs devices generally are terminated through a jumper or resistor pack on the device itself. 10 Description Network Controller NOTE To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the system must be used with a shielded LAN cable. The server board uses the Intel® Fast Ethernet Controller, 82546EB, and supports two 10Base-T/1000Base-TX network subsystems. The 82546EB controller supports the following features: · · · · · 32-bit PCI master interface Integrated IEEE 802.3 10Base-T, 100Base-TX and 1000Base-TX compatible PHY IEEE 820.3u auto-negotiation support Full duplex support at 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, and 1000 Mbps operation Low power +3.3 V device On the MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board, NIC 1 can be used as both a network interface and server management interface. NIC Connector and Status LEDs The E82546 controller drives LEDs on the network interface connector that indicate link/activity on the LAN and speed of operation. The green status LED indicates network connection when on and TX/RX activity when blinking. The speed LED indicates 1000 Mbps when amber, 100 Mbps when green, and 10 Mbps when off. Keyboard and Mouse The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU), the server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or mouse activity for a predefined length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored password is entered. A Y-cable can be used if both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard are required at the same time. RJ-45 Serial Port The rear RJ-45 serial port is a fully functional serial port that supports any standard serial device and provides support for serial concentrators. For server applications that use a serial concentrator to access the server management features of the baseboard, a standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the rear RJ-45 serial port. The 8-pins of the RJ-45 connector can be configured to match either of two pin-out standards used by serial port devices. To accommodate either standard, the J5A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ-45 serial port must be jumpered appropriately according to the desired standard. NOTE By default, the RJ-45 serial port is configured to support a DSR signal. For serial devices that require a DSR signal (default), the J5A2 jumper must be configured in position 3-4 (Figure 3, B). For serial devices that require a DCD signal, the jumper must be in position 1-2 (Figure 3, A). MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board 11 Figure 3. J5A2 Jumper Block for DSR Signal For server applications that require a DB9 serial connector, you must use an 8-pin RJ-45to-DB9 adapter. The following table defines the pin-out required for the adapters to provide RS232 support. Table 2. Rear Serial 2 Port Adapter Pin-out RJ-45 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Signal Request to Send Data Terminal Ready Transmitted Data Signal Ground Ring Indicator Received Data DCD or DSR Clear To Send Abbreviation RTS DTR TD SGND RI RD DCD/DSR CTS DB9 7 4 3 5 9 2 1 or 6 8 ACPI The MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 2.0 specification. 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 fans will still run. The MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board supports 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 CSB and the BMC are running in this state. No context is saved by the OS or hardware. · 12 Description CAUTION The system is off only when the AC power cord is disconnected. System Management MAXDATA integrates system management features into the hardware and provides additional features through Intel® Server Management software. Baseboard Management Controller MAXDATA server boards incorporate a baseboard management controller (BMC), which is a dedicated microcontroller for system management activities. The BMC performs the following functions: · · · · Monitors system components and sensors, including processors, memory, fans, power supplies, temperature sensors, and chassis intrusion sensors. Manages nonvolatile storage for the system event log (SEL), sensor data records (SDRs), and baseboard field-replaceable unit (FRU) inventory. Interfaces with the emergency management port (EMP) and LAN1 port to send alerts and interact with remote management systems. Provides the main front panel control functions (power on/off, reset, and so on). Field Replaceable Units and Sensor Data Records Field replaceable units (FRUs) are major modules in the chassis that contain active electronic circuitry. FRUs can store information-such as board serial number, part number, name, and asset tag-that can be read using the System Setup Utility. The BMC stores FRU information for the baseboard in a nonvolatile storage component on the board. The BMC uses Sensor Data Records (SDRs) to identify the sensors in the system for monitoring. SDRs provide a list of the sensors, their characteristics, location, type, and type-specific information, such as default threshold values, factors for converting a sensor reading into the appropriate units (mV, rpm, degrees Celsius), and information on the types of events that a sensor can generate. The BMC stores SDR information in a nonvolatile storage component on the baseboard. You can use the FRU/SDR Load Utility to initialize or update the FRU and SDR information. You should run the FRU/SDR Load Utility whenever you change the number of fans, processors, or power supplies in the server. System Event Log The BMC manages a system event log (SEL), where it records significant or critical system events. These events include temperatures and voltages out of range, fan failures, and other sensor-related events. The BIOS, software, and other devices can also log events by sending messages to the BMC. The SEL is stored in nonvolatile storage. You can view the current contents of the SEL by using the System Setup Utility. MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board 13 Platform Event Management Events can trigger alerts and other actions by the BMC. The server is configured with the following set of standard events: · · · · · · · · · · · Temperature sensor out of range Voltage sensor out of range Fan failure Chassis intrusion Power supply failure Memory error POST error Processor fault resilient booting (FRB) failure Fatal nonmaskable interrupt (NMI) from a source other than the front panel switch Watchdog timer reset, power down, or power cycle System restart (reboot) Alerts can take either of these forms: · Platform Event Pages -- the BMC dials a paging service and sends a predefined paging string. To use platform event paging (PEP), you must attach an external modem to the emergency management port (Serial B). BMC LAN alerts -- the BMC sends an alert to a predefined destination on the LAN. You can configure PEP and BMC LAN alerts by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the System Setup Utility. · Emergency Management Port The emergency management port (EMP) refers to the use of the Serial 2 port, with either an external modem or direct serial connection, for remote management. The BMC controls the port and interfaces with remote access software, such as the Direct Platform Control or the Client System Setup Utility applications in Intel® Server Management. You can configure the EMP by using the Server Configuration Wizard or the System Setup Utility. EMP and Serial Over LAN The Serial B port 10-pin header on the board can be configured in several different ways: as a standard serial port, as an Emergency Management Port, or for serial output redirection over a LAN. You can configure these settings using either the SSU or the SCW. NOTES If you have configured the Serial 2 port for use as an Emergency Management Port and "always available", the Serial 2 port will be accessible only by remote server management software. The operating system will never be able to access the port. If you have configured the Serial 2 port for Serial Over LAN, the port's functionality will only be impacted when there is an active Serial Over LAN session from a remote console. At all other times either the operating system or EMP will control the port, depending on your configuration. 14 Description Intel® Server Management Intel® Server Management (ISM) is a system management package that is included on the ISM CD. ISM applications interact with the integrated hardware system management features of the server to allow you to monitor and manage a server from a remote workstation: · · · Remote connection from a Windows®-based client workstation over a LAN, or over a modem or direct serial connection to the emergency management port on the server. Real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors. Emergency management when the server is off (but still connected to AC power) lets you verify the state of the server, diagnose hardware problems, and power on/off or reset the server. Ability to Run the Client System Setup Utility to change the configuration of the managed server. · ISM can use an optional service partition on the server that you are managing. The service partition is a special disk partition on the system drive that contains a ROM-DOS operating system and DOS-based utilities, including the System Setup Utility, FRU/SDR Load Utility, and Remote Diagnostics. The server can be booted to the service partition, either locally or remotely, to provide access to the utilities. For more information on Intel® Server Management and the individual ISM applications, see the ISM CD. Security Intrusion Switch Monitoring To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Management server management software monitors the chassis intrusion switch if one is installed. Opening an access cover will transmit an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and server management software process the signal. The system can be configured through ISM to respond to an intrusion a number of ways, including powering down or locking the keyboard. Software Locks 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 a supervisor 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. MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board 15 Using Passwords You can set either the user password, the supervisor 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 supervisor password is set, you: · · · Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU. Must enter the supervisor 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 supervisor 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 or reset the server from the front panel switches. Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via remote server management or power control via the watchdog timer. 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. 16 Description Summary of Software Security Features The table below lists the software security features and describes what protection each offers. In general, to enable or set the features listed here, you must run the SSU and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu. The table also refers to other SSU menus and to the Setup utility. Table 3. Software Security Features Feature Secure mode Description How to enter secure mode: · Setting and enabling passwords automatically places the system in secure mode. · If you set a hot-key combination (through 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 boot 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 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. Set a time out period so that keyboard and mouse input are not accepted Also, screen can be blanked, and writes to diskette can be inhibited Control access to using the SSU: set supervisor password 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). To resume activity: Enter the correct password(s). To control access to setting or changing the system configuration, set a supervisor password and enable it through Setup. If both the supervisor and user passwords are enabled, either can be used to boot the server or enable the keyboard and/or mouse, but only the supervisor password will allow Setup to be changed. To disable a password, change it to a blank entry or press CTRL-D in the Change Password menu of the Supervisor Password Option menu found in the Security Subsystem Group. To clear the password if you cannot access Setup, change the Clear Password jumper (see Chapter 6). continued MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board 17 Table 4. Software Security Features (continued) Feature Control access to the system other than SSU: set user password Description To control access to using the system, set a user password and enable it through Setup. 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, change the Clear Password jumper. 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. The sequence that you specify in setup 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. Specify the boot sequence 18 Description 2 Server Board Installations and Upgrades Tools and Supplies Needed · · · · Jumper removal tool or needle nosed pliers Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit) Pen or pencil Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended) CAUTIONS These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person should configure the server board. CAUTIONS System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT completely turn off the system AC power, 5 V standby is still active whenever the system is plugged in. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove any components. Hazardous conditions, devices & cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground, (any unpainted metal surface), on your server when handling parts. ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface. Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the stake pins on the board. MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Board 19 Memory Only DDR266 compliant SDRAM is supported by the server board. Install from 256 MB to 12 GB of registered, ECC memory, using up to six DIMMs. A 1U chassis requires low-profile (LP) 1.2-inch DIMMs. NOTE Only DDR 266 is supported with a 533 MHz Front Side Bus. DIMMs must be installed in pairs and in the following order: 1B and 1A, 2B and 2A, 3B and 3A. Installed DIMMs must be the same speed and must all be registered. Figure 4.
