The external connectors are defined by the USB Specification, Revision 1.1. One additional USB connector is supported internally through a 10-pin header on the server board that can be cabled to a front panel board. All four ports function identically and with the same bandwidth. Network Controller The server board includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel® 82550 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: · · · · · · · · · 14 32 bit PCI bus master interface (direct drive of bus), compatible with PCI Bus Specification, Revision 2.2 Chained memory structure with improved dynamic transmit chaining for enhanced performance Programmable transmit threshold for improved bus utilization Early receive interrupt for concurrent processing of receive data Onchip counters for network management Autodetect and autoswitching for 10 or 100 Mbps network speeds Support for both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps networks, capable of full or half duplex, with back-to-back transmit at 100 Mbps Integrated IP Security (IPSec) encryption engine Alert on LAN functionality Description Network Teaming Features The network controller provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows® NT 4.0, Windows® 2000 or NetWare® 4.1x or newer: · · · Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for your adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. AFT works with any hub or switch. Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - creates a team of 2 - 4 adapters to increase transmission throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or 100Base-TX switch. Fast EtherChannel® (FEC) - creates a team of 2, 3 or 4 adapters to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes AFT. Requires an FEC-enabled switch. Adapter Fault Tolerance Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to increase the reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link recovery to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface card failure. By assigning two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance. AFT is implemented with two PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled. If the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically takes over. Preferred Primary Adapter With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For example if you have a server with a PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter as the primary adapter and a PRO/100+ adapter as the secondary, you would want the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter to be the preferred primary. In this scenario, if the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter fails, the PRO/100+ will take over. Then when the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter is replaced, it will automatically revert to being the primary adapter in the team. If a Preferred Primary is not selected, PROSet will attempt to select the best adapter, based on adapter model and speed. Mixed Adapter Teaming AFT supports up to four PRO/1000 or PRO/100 adapters per team, in any mix. Adaptive Load Balancing Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way to increase your server's transmit throughput. With ALB you group PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters in teams to provide an increased transmit rate (up to 400 Mbps) using a maximum of four adapters. The ALB software continuously analyzes transmit loading on each adapter and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps. To use ALB, you must have two, three, or four PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch. MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Mainboard Manual 15 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 MAXDATA PLATINUM 1200/3200 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b. 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 MAXDATA PLATINUM 1200/3200 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 chipset and the BMC are running in this state. CAUTION The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected. Security To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Control server management software monitors the system intrusion switch. Security with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring If installed, you can activate the chassis intrusion alarm switch. When the side door is opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the server board, where BMC firmware and server management software process the signal. The system can be programmed to respond to an intrusion by locking the keyboard, for example. 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: · · · · · · · 16 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. Description 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 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. 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. MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Mainboard Manual 17 Table 3. Software Security Features 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 CDROM 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). 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. 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. 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. 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. Feature Secure mode Disable writing to diskette 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 Control access to the system other than SSU: set user password Boot without keyboard Specify the boot sequence 18 Description 2 Server Board Installation Tools and Supplies Needed · · · · Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit) Flat blade screwdriver Needle nosed pliers Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended) Before You Begin Emissions Disclaimer To ensure EMC compliance with your local regional rules and regulations, the final configuration of your end system product may require additional EMC compliance testing. For more information please contact your local MAXDATA Representative. See "Regulatory and Integration Information" for product Safety and EMC regulatory compliance information. This is an FCC Class A device. Integration of it into a Class B chassis does not result in a Class B device. Safety Cautions CAUTION 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 groundany unpainted metal surfaceon 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.
