Processor The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 server mainboard supports one or two Intel® XeonTM processors from 1.8 GHz to 2.4 GHz, with 512 KB of L2 advanced transfer cache packaged in a 603-pin micro-PGA (Pin-Grid Array). When two processors are installed, both processors must be identical. When only one processor is installed, the processor must be installed in the CPU1 socket, which is the socket closest to the corner of the server board. Hyper-Threading Technology The server supports Intel ® Hyper-Threading technology. Hyper-Threading enabled processors appear to the operating system, if it supports this technology, as two separate processors. In enterprise computing terms this means that on compatible applications, this new technology has been demonstrated to provide server customers a performance boost. This technology is enabled on MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server as default. The customer can enable/disable this feature in the BIOS Setup in the section Main > Processor Settings > HyperThreading Technology >Enable/Disable . 8 Description Memory The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 server mainboard contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs. The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs. The minimum supported memory configuration is 256 MB, using two identical 128 MB DIMMs. The maximum configurable memory size is 12 GB using six 2 GB DIMMs. The SDRAM interface runs at a frequency of 200 MHz; however 266 MHz memory can be used. The memory controller supports 2-way interleaved SDRAM, memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction and multiple-bit error detection with Chipkill capability that allows the system to continue to run even in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure. Run even in the event of a multi-bit SDRAM failure. Memory can be implemented with either single-sided (one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs. Add-in Board Connectors The server board has the following add-in board connectors: · · · Two 184-pin full-length, 3.3 V, PCI--X 64-bit/100 MHz connectors. Three 120-pin full-length, 5 V, standard PCI 32-bit/33 MHz connectors. One 184-pin full-length, 3.3 V, connector that is capable if PCI--X 64-bit/133 MHz operation. To enable PCI--X 64-bit/133 MHz operation, you must disable the onboard SCSI controller using BIOS Setup. The default operation of this connector (slot 6) is PCI 64-bit/66 MHz operation. Video The system has an integrated ATI Rage XL 32-bit high-performance SVGA subsystem that supports the following: · · · · BIOS compatibility with all standard VGA modes 8 MB of video memory Pixel resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 pixels per inch (ppi) in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 2D and up to 1024 x 768 ppi in 8/16/24/32 bpp modes under 3D Both CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 9 Table 2.

The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 server mainboard provides active terminators, termination voltage, resetable fuse, and protection diode for both SCSI channels. Modular RAID Capable PCI--X Slot 6 The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 server board supports a modular RAID controller, such as the Intel® RAID Controller SRCMR, on PCI--X Slot 6. An add-in card installed in this slot leverages the onboard SCSI controller along with its own built-in intelligence to provide a complete RAID controller subsystem onboard. If a specified modular RAID card is installed, then SCSI interrupts are routed to the RAID card instead of the PCI--X interrupt controller effectively hiding the host-based I/O device from the system. The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Board uses an implementation commonly referred to as "RAIDIOS" to support this feature. 10 Description IDE Controller The system includes a dual-channel enhanced IDE 32-bit interface controller for intelligent disk drives with disk controller electronics onboard. The controller has two connectors, Primary and Secondary, located on the system board, each of which supports a master and a slave device. The device supports: · · · · PIO, ATA-100 Synchronous DMA, and bus master IDE transfer modes Ultra DMA 33/66/100 synchronous DMA transfers Master/slave IDE modes Up to four devices USB Interface The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Board provides three external USB connectors on the rear I/O panel. 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 Controllers The server board includes two integrated onboard Network Interface Controllers (NICs). One NIC is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel® 82550PM 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 2.2 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 On-chip counters for network management Auto-detect and auto-switching 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 Low-power +3.3 V device Alert on LAN functionality The second NIC is an Intel® 82544GC Gigabit Ethernet Controller capable of providing 10/ 100/1000 Mbps data rates. It is a single-chip device containing both the MAC and PHY layer functions. The 82544GC utilizes a 64-bit/100 MHz direct interface to the PCI--X bus. It is compliant with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Revision 2.2. It also supports the PCI--X extension to the PCI Local Bus, Revision 1.0a. Note If you install a 32/64-bit, 33/66 MHz PCI card in Add-in card slots 1 or 2, you will slow the PCI--X bus to the speed of the card you install. This will also slow the 82455GC's interface to the PCI--X bus. MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 11 Network Teaming Features The network controller provides several options for increasing throughput and fault tolerance when running Windows 2000 or NetWare 6.0 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 server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain uninterrupted network performance. AFT is implemented with two 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 an Intel PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter as the primary adapter and an Intel PRO/1000 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/1000 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, the Intel PROSet II 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 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 server adapters installed in your server or workstation and linked to the same network switch. Keyboard and Mouse The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System Setup Utility (SSU), tthe he 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. 12 Description ACPI The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 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 sleep 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 5200 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 real time clock (RTC) section of the chipset and the Baseboard Management Controller (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, the Server Management software monitors the (optional) 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: · · · · · · · 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 5200 Server Mainboard 13 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. 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. 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. If only the supervisor password is set, you: If both passwords are set, you: 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. 14 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 BIOS 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 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. Disable writing to diskette 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. 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. 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. Control access to the system other than SSU: set user password Boot without keyboard MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 15 16 Description 2 Upgrading Installing Memory The MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Board contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets.

Hot Keys To do this: Clear memory and reload the operating system - this is a system reset. Secure your system immediately. Press these keys +hot key (Set your hot key combination with Setup.) 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: Press to enter SETUP 3. If you do not press and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process continues, and the system beeps once. Then this message appears: Operating system not found If you do not press and DO have an operating system loaded, the boot process continues, and this message appears: Press to enter SCSI Utility 4. Press 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". If you do not enter the SCSI utility, the boot process continues. 5. Press during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. From this menu you can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup. MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 19 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 "Monitoring POST". Using BIOS Setup This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the server configuration defaults. 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. Record Your Setup Settings Record your setup settings on a worksheet. If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you must run Setup again. Referring to the worksheet could make your task easier. If You Cannot Access Setup If the diskette drive is misconfigured 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 the heading "CMOS Jumper." Starting Setup You can enter and start Setup under several conditions: · · · When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test. When you reboot the server by pressing while at the DOS operating system prompt. When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the "Clear CMOS" position (enabled); for the procedure, see "Server Board Jumpers". In the three conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt: Press to enter SETUP NOTE If the BIOS setup option "POST Diagnostic Screen" is enabled (Default), you will not see the message "Press to enter SETUP." This message is hidden by the Manufacturer's Splash screen. To see the message, press the key while the splash screen is displayed. This will temporarily disable the splash screen allowing you to see the message. In a fourth condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not the prompt: Warning: cmos checksum invalid Warning: cmos time and date not set In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot. 20 Configuration Software and Utilities
