Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS System Overview qualified technical individuals should access the processor and non-hot-plug I/O areas while the system is energized. Power cords should be removed from the system before accessing non-hot-plug areas. 2.5.11.1 System Power Budget Table 3 shows a summary of the system power budget. The power budget lists each major voltage rail in columns and each major subsystem of the product in rows.
PAGE 28
System Overview 2.5.12 Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS Cooling Subsystem Primary cooling is generated by six fans, located at the top front of the chassis. It connects to the SCSI Backplane Board for power and server management. Air flows in through the front and exhausts out the rear of the chassis. The chassis has several air baffles to duct the air over critical parts, including processors, memory, and peripherals.

Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS 2.6.2 System Overview Rolling BIOS The Server Board Set SE8500HW4 Mainboard supports two BIOS images to be stored in Flash. This provides a mechanism for BIOS updates without a system reboot as well as failover to an alternate image in the event of BIOS corruption. The system runs with the current BIOS until a reboot, after which time the updated BIOS is used. See the Intel Server Board Set SE8500HW4 Technical Product Specification for more details on this feature.

Power Supply 5.3.5 Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS Auto Restart Although the power supply may power off under the conditions mentioned in Sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 it is capable of restarting, either automatically or under program control after the disturbance. In addition, the power supply will not be in a latched state such that any of the operator buttons/buttons do not operate correctly after the disturbance. At no time will the AC power cord have to be removed to clear an error condition.
PAGE 69
Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS 5.4.1 Power Supply Hot Swap Functionality Hot swapping is the process of inserting and extracting a power supply from an operating power bay. During this process, the output voltages will remain within the limits specified in Table 31, and the system will continue to operate normally. 5.4.2 Output Current Rating The combined continuous output power for all outputs will not exceed 1570W. Each output has a maximum and minimum current rating shown in Table 32.
PAGE 70
Power Supply 5.4.4 Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS Over-current Protection Over-current is a fault condition defined as a 10A/s current ramp starting from full load applied to the output under test. A fault on any output causes the rest of the outputs to latch off. See note 3 below the following table. Table 34. Over-current Protection Limits Output Level +3.3V Standby 1,3,5 Minimum (A)2,4 5.3 Maximum (A)2,4 6.2 +12V6 122 141 7 142 163 +12V 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 5.4.

Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS 5.4.7 Power Supply Current Sharing Outputs of two supplies that are connected in parallel must meet the regulation requirements of a single supply. Under normal operation with two supplies running in parallel, the outputs must share the load current. If one of the supplies fails, the remaining supply must pick up the entire load without any of the outputs dropping out of regulation.
PAGE 72
Power Supply 5.4.8.2 Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS I/O Port Expander The power supply contains a serial I/O port expander, Philips* PCF8575 or approved equivalent. The address is either 0x4C or 0x4E, depending on address bit 0xA0. Table 36.
PAGE 73
Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS Power Supply 5.4.9 Fan Speed Control The power supply provides forced air-cooling through three DC fans that have intake through the circular grill. The cooling fans are 60mm in diameter and 38mm in depth. The fans are mounted to the front (output connector), and exhaust through the rear (AC Inlet connector) of the PS case. The power supply uses a fan speed controller that is based on the input Fan_Cntl. The input is an analog signal from 0.0V to 3.0V.

In the low state the input will not source more than 1mA of current. The DC outputs are disabled when the input is driven higher than 2.4V, or open circuited. Provisions for de-bouncing are included in the –PS_ON circuitry.

Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS 7.2 SCSI Backplane Board Functional Architecture This section provides an architectural description of the Server Platform SR6850HW4 SCSI Backplane Board functional blocks. 7.2.1 SCSI Buses The SCSI Backplane Board passes the SCSI bus from the Server Board Set SE8500HW4 Mainboard to the internal hot-swap SCSI hard disk drives. Each bus is Ultra320 SCSI lowvoltage differential (LVD) capable. Single-ended (SE) drives are not supported in the hot-swap disk drive bay.

SCSI Backplane Board 7.2.2.3 Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS Over-current Protection (OCP) If either power rail for a drive exceeds 6A on 12V or 4.5A on 5V, the MOSFET switch for the out-of-spec rail is turned off. Removing power protects the MOSFET and the platform from damage if a short occurs on one of the power rails. After one-third of a second, the MOSFET is turned on to see if the short has been removed.

Intel® Server Platform SR6850HW4 TPS 7.2.3 SCSI Backplane Board SCSI Enclosure Management SCSI enclosure management allows the SCSI Backplane Board to report hot-swap SCSI hard disk drive status via the SCSI bus. This information is normally consumed by a RAID controller that supports enclosure management; the optional ROMB accessory supports this feature. The SCSI enclosure management subsystem consists of a Qlogic GEM359 controller, flash, and PLD. THERMAL SENSOR LVD SCSI BUS DATA 0..
