Serial Ports The S845WD1-E server board has one serial port connector and one serial port header. The serial port A connector is located on the back panel. The serial port B header is located near the main power connector. The serial ports’ NS16C550-compatible UART supports data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kb/s with BIOS support. Parallel Port The 25-pin D-Sub parallel port connector is located on the back panel.
Hardware Management ASIC The Hardware Management ASIC provides low-cost instrumentation capabilities. The features of the component include: • Internal ambient temperature sensing • Remote thermal diode sensing for direct monitoring of processor temperature • Power supply monitoring (+5 V, +3.3 V, +1.5 V, 3.3 VSB, and Vccp) to detect levels above or below acceptable values • SMBus interface Fan Monitoring The Hardware Management ASIC provides four fan tachometer inputs.
Legacy USB Support Legacy USB support enables USB devices such as keyboard, mice, and hubs to be used even when the operating system’s USB drivers are not yet available. Legacy USB support is used to access the BIOS Setup program, and to install an operating system that supports USB. By default, Legacy USB support is set to Enabled. The S845WD1-E server board has four USB 1.1 ports; one USB peripheral can be connected to each port.
IDE Support IDE Interfaces The ICH2’s IDE controller has two independent bus-mastering IDE interfaces that can be independently enabled. The IDE interfaces support the following modes: • Programmed I/O (PIO): processor controls data transfer. • 8237-style DMA: DMA offloads the processor, supporting transfer rates of up to 16 MB/sec. • Ultra DMA: DMA protocol on IDE bus supporting host and target throttling and transfer rates of up to 33 MB/sec.
BIOS The S845WD1-E server board uses an Intel/AMI BIOS that is stored in the Firmware Hub (FWH) and can be updated using a disk-based program. The FWH contains the BIOS Setup program, POST, the PCI auto-configuration utility, and Plug and Play support. The S845WD1-E server board supports system BIOS shadowing, allowing the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected system memory. The BIOS displays a message during POST identifying the type of BIOS and a revision code.
BIOS Updates The BIOS can be updated using either of the following utilities, which are available on the Intel World Wide Web site: • Intel® Express BIOS update utility, which enables automated updating while in the Windows environment. Using this utility, the BIOS can be updated from a file on a hard disk, a 1.44 MB diskette, or a CD-ROM, or from the file location on the Web. • Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, which requires creation of a boot diskette and manual rebooting of the system.
Recovering BIOS Data Some types of failure can destroy the BIOS. For example, the data can be lost if a power outage occurs while the BIOS is being updated in flash memory. The BIOS can be recovered from a diskette using the BIOS recovery mode. When recovering the BIOS, be aware of the following: • Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, there is no video support.
Boot Options In the BIOS Setup program, the user can choose to boot from a diskette drive, hard drives, CD-ROM, or the network. The default setting is for the diskette drive to be the first boot device, the hard drive second, and the ATAPI CD-ROM third. The fourth device is disabled. CD-ROM and Network Boot Booting from CD-ROM is supported in compliance to the El Torito bootable CD-ROM format specification. Under the Boot menu in the BIOS Setup program, ATAPI CD-ROM is listed as a boot device.
Fast Booting Systems with Intel® Rapid BIOS Boot These factors affect system boot speed: • Selecting and configuring peripherals properly • Using an optimized BIOS, such as the Intel Rapid BIOS Intel Rapid BIOS Boot Using the following BIOS Setup program settings reduces the POST execution time. In the Boot Menu: • Set the hard disk drive as the first boot device. As a result, the POST does not first seek a diskette drive, which saves about one second from the POST execution time.
BIOS Security Passwords The BIOS includes security features that restrict whether the BIOS Setup program can be accessed and who can boot the server. A supervisor password and a user password can be set for the Setup menu and for booting the server, with the following restrictions: • The supervisor password gives unrestricted access to view and change all Setup options. If only the supervisor password is set, pressing at the password prompt of Setup gives the user restricted access to Setup.
System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) SMBIOS is a Server Management Interface (DMI) compliant method for managing computers in a managed network. The main component of SMBIOS is the Management Information Format (MIF) database, which contains information about the computing system and its components. Using SMBIOS, a system administrator can obtain the system types, capabilities, operational status, and installation dates for system components.
Power Management Features Power management is implemented at several levels, including: • Software support through Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) • Hardware support: Power connector Fan connectors LAN wake capabilities Instantly Available PC technology Resume on Ring Wake from USB Wake from PS/2 devices Power Management Event (PME#) wake-up support Wake on LAN Technology Network adapters that are PCI 2.
Resume on Ring The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows: • Resumes operation from the ACPI S1. • Requires only one call to access the server. • Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems; does not use the Wake on Ring connector. • Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation. ACPI ACPI gives the operating system direct control over the power management and Plug and Play functions of a computer.
Table 5 lists the system states based on how long the power switch is pressed, depending on how ACPI is configured with an ACPI-aware operating system. Table 5.
Table 6. Power States and Targeted System Power (continued) Processor States Sleeping States G2/S5 S5 – Soft off. Context not saved. Cold boot is required. No power D3 – no power except for wake-up logic. Power < 5 W G3 – mechanical off No power to the system. No power D3 – no power for wake-up logic, except when provided by battery or external source. No power to the system. Service can be performed safely. AC power is disconnected from the computer.
Hardware Support The S845WD1-E server board provides several power management hardware features, including: • Power connector • Fan connectors • LAN wake capabilities • Instantly Available PC technology • Resume on Ring • Wake from USB • Wake from PS/2 keyboard • PME# wake-up support LAN wake capabilities and Instantly Available PC technology require power from the +5 V standby line. The sections discussing these features describe the incremental standby power requirements for each.
Power Connector When used with an ATX12V or EPS-12 V compliant power supply that supports remote power on/off, the S845WD1-E server board can turn off the system power through software control. When the system BIOS receives the correct command from the operating system, the BIOS turns off power to the computer.
Instantly Available PC Technology CAUTION For Instantly Available PC technology, the +5 V standby line for the power supply must be capable of providing adequate +5 V standby current. Failure to provide adequate standby current when implementing Instantly Available PC technology can damage the power supply. The S845WD1-E server board supports the PCI Bus Power Management Interface Specification.
Resume on Ring The operation of Resume on Ring can be summarized as follows: • Resumes operation from ACPI S1 state • Requires only one call to access the computer • Detects incoming call similarly for external and internal modems • Requires modem interrupt be unmasked for correct operation Wake from USB USB bus activity wakes the computer from an ACPI S1 state. ✏ NOTE Wake from USB requires the use of a USB peripheral that supports Wake from USB.
PCI I/O Subsystem The primary I/O bus for the S845WD1-E server board is PCI, with one independent PCI bus. The PCI bus complies with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.2. The PCI bus is directed through the Intel 82801BA I/O Controller Hub (ICH2). The table below lists the characteristics of the PCI bus. Table 9.
Table 10. PCI Bus Configuration IDs (continued) IDSEL Value 30 Device ATA-100 controller Promise Technology PDC20267 31 ATI Rage XL Video Controller PCI Arbitration The PCI bus supports six PCI masters (ATI Rage XL, two Intel 82550s, Promise ATA-100 Controller, PCI connector 1 and an arbiter (PCI connector 2 and PCI connector 3). All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources supplied by the ICH2.
Video Controller The S845WD1-E server board provides an ATI Rage XL PCI graphics accelerator, along with 2 MB of video SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video subsystem. The ATI Rage XL chip contains a SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D and 3D engine, and RAMDAC in a 272-pin PBGA. One 2Mx32 SDRAM chip provides 2 MB of video memory.
Video Memory Interface The memory controller subsystem of the Rage XL arbitrates requests from direct memory interface, the VGA graphics controller, the drawing coprocessor, the display controller, the video scalar, and hardware cursor. Requests are serviced in a manner that ensures display integrity and maximum CPU/coprocessor drawing performance. The S845WD1-E supports a 2 MB (512Kx32bitx4 Banks) SDRAM device for video memory.
Hardware Monitoring The S845WD1-E server board has an integrated Hardware Management ASIC that is responsible for hardware monitoring. Together, the Hardware Management ASIC and the Intel® LANDesk® Client Manager (LDCM) 6.3 software provide basic server hardware monitoring which alerts a system administrator if a hardware problem occurs on an Intel Server Board S845WD1-E based system. The Intel LDCM software is for use with Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating systems.

3 Configuration Software and Utilities This chapter tells you how to update the BIOS by either using the Intel® Express BIOS Update utility or the Intel® Flash Memory Update Utility, and recovering the BIOS if an update fails. Updating the BIOS with the Intel Express BIOS Update Utility With the Intel Express BIOS Update utility you can update the system BIOS while in the Windows environment.
Obtaining the BIOS Update File You can update to a new version of the BIOS by using the BIOS update file. The BIOS update file is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains all the files you need to update the BIOS. The BIOS update file contains: • New BIOS files • BIOS recovery files • Intel Flash Memory Update Utility You can obtain the BIOS update file through your server supplier or from the Intel World Wide Web site: http://support.intel.
Creating a Bootable Diskette ✏ NOTE If your drive A is an LS-120 diskette drive, you must use a 1.44-MB diskette as the bootable BIOS update diskette. The server is unable to recover a BIOS from an LS-120 diskette. To create a bootable diskette using a DOS system: • Place an unformatted diskette in the diskette drive and format the diskette using the /s option. Example: format a: /s • Alternatively, place a formatted diskette in the diskette drive and use the sys command.
Updating the BIOS CAUTION 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. The AUTOEXEC.BAT file provided with the update files updates the BIOS in two parts: first updating the boot block and displaying the Operation completed successfully message and second, updating the BIOS core. You will be asked to reboot the system when the update process is complete. Do not interrupt the process or the system may not be capable of rebooting. Boot the server with the BIOS upgrade diskette in drive A. During system boot, the AUTOEXEC.
Recovering the BIOS It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS update, however, if an interruption occurs, the BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an update fails. The following procedure uses recovery mode for the Setup program. See page 54 for more information on Setup modes. ✏ NOTE Because of the small amount of code available in the boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during this procedure.
Using the Setup Program You can use the BIOS Setup program to change the configuration information and boot sequence for the server. This chapter tells you how to access the BIOS Setup program and lists Setup features, options, and default settings. ✏ NOTE For reference purposes, you should write down the current Setup settings. When you make changes to the settings, update this record.
