Part 1: User’s Guide
1 Chassis Description The SRPL8 rack server is easy to integrate and can easily accommodate the needs of a variety of high-performance applications—for example, network servers, multiuser systems, and large database operations.
Chassis Feature Summary Table 2. Chassis Feature Summary Feature Comment Power system with redundancy The 750 watt, 220 VAC autoranging power supplies include integrated fans for cooling. When the server is configured with three supplies (2 + 1), the third provides redundancy. The supplies can be replaced— hot-swapped—without turning off server power. The server requires a minimum of two power supplies. LEDs on the back of the power supply indicate power on, failure, and predictive failure.

Peripherals The peripheral bay provides the interface for 3.5-inch and 5.25-inch media. 3.5-inch Diskette Drive The 3.5-inch diskette drive in the peripheral bay supports 720 KB and 1.44 MB media. The drive is externally accessible from the front of the system. 3.5-inch Hard Drive Bays The peripheral bay contains two hot-swapping bays for two 3.5-inch wide (1.0-inch high or 1.6-inch high) wide/fast-20 SCSI III SCA-type hard drives.
Hot-Swap Power Supplies The chassis can be configured with two or three 750-watt power supplies in a 2 + 1 redundancy configuration. If you have three supplies installed, you can hot-swap a failed supply without affecting system functionality. If you have two supplies installed, they must occupy the left and center bays (as you face the back of the server—see Figure 3 on page 17). Each supply is designed to minimize EMI and RFI. This system is designed to operate at 100/200 VAC only.
Chassis Description
2 Boardset Description The modular scaleable architecture of the SRPL8 rack server supports symmetrical multiprocessing (SMP) and a variety of operating systems. The server comes with Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) and Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) buses. ISA buses are used internally only. The system has no ISA slots or a way for the user to make use of the ISA bus.
D C B A E C F OM07505 Figure 4. Boardset Overview A. Front panel board B. Profusion carrier C. Processor mezzanine board D. I/O carrier E. Midplane F. Memory modules Boardset Features Table 4. Boardset Features Feature Description Profusion carrier The profusion carrier provides the interface for processors (via one or two processor mezzanine boards), memory modules, and cache coherency filters. The profusion carrier supports up to two processor mezzanine boards.
Table 4. Boardset Features (continued) Feature Description Memory modules Two dual plug-in modules containing interleaved pathway to main memory supporting PC100 registererd SDRAM. Each memory module supports from 128 MB to 16 GB of error correction code (ECC) memory using sixteen 72-bit dual inline memory modules (DIMMs). The modules interface to the profusion carrier through the midplane. This module plugs into any unpopulated Slot 2 connector on either processor mezzanine board.
Processor Overview Each Pentium III Xeon processor is packaged in a single edge contact (S.E.C.) cartridge.
Memory Overview Main memory resides on two add-in boards, called memory modules. Each memory module contains slots for 16 DIMMs and is attached to the profusion carrier through a 300-pin connector on the midplane. The memory controller supports PC 100-registered SDRAM DIMMs. Various DIMM sizes are supported, but each DIMM must be at least 128 MB. Memory amounts from 128 MB to 16 GB per module are supported.
DIMM Installation Sequence A single carrier will support DIMM population in various configurations (empty sockets included). However, when fewer than 16 DIMMs are installed on a memory module, the preferred population order is to start from the lowest J number and populate sequentially to the highest. This recommendation helps maintain optimal signal integrity and thermal performance. ✏ NOTE Maximum capacity is limited to 16 GB with one memory module installed. This increases to 32 GB with two modules.
Peripherals Super I/O Chip The 37C937 Super I/O device supports two serial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, and PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse. The system provides the connector interface for each port. Serial Ports Both serial ports are relocatable. By default, port A is physically the left connector (as you look at the back of the system — see Figure 3 on page 17), port B the right connector. Each serial port can be set to one of four different COMx ports, and each can be enabled separately.
SCSI Controller A QLogic 12160 Ultra 160 SCSI chip provides two 16-bit high-speed SCSI channels. This high-performance SCSI controller is capable of providing data rates up to 160 MB/sec per channel in 16-bit operations to ensure maximum data throughput while minimizing PCI bus overhead.
Server Management Most of the server management features are implemented using three microcontrollers, the baseboard management controller (BMC) on the I/O carrier, the front panel controller (FPC) on the front panel board, and the hot-swap controller (HSC) on the LVDS backplane. The primary function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system platform management events and log their occurrence in the nonvolatile System Event Log (SEL).
Front Panel Controller (FPC) The FPC manages: • Server power control consolidation from several sources • • • • • • • • • • • • push-button power signal from the front panel connector real-time clock (RTC) Intel® remote management card (IRMC), if installed commands from the Intelligent Platform Management Bus Power and reset switch interfaces Fault LEDs Chassis, midplane and power supplies Field Replacement Unit (FRU) inventory interface Server hard reset generation Server power fault indication I
System Security There are several ways to prevent unauthorized entry or use of the server. Security with BIOS Setup: • • • Set server administrative and user passwords. Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of the front panel controls. For more information, see “Security Menu” on page 45.
Boot Without Keyboard The server can boot with or without a keyboard. Before it boots, BIOS displays a message keyboard detection. During POST, BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard if one is present. Locked Power and Reset Switches The power and reset push-button switches on the front panel are locked when the server is in secure mode. To exit from the secure mode, you must enter your user password.
3 Configuration Software and Utilities This chapter describes the Power-on Self Test (POST) and system configuration utilities. Table 5 briefly describes the utilities. Table 5. Configuration Utilities Utility BIOS Setup (“Setup”) Description and brief procedure Page You can use Setup to change system configuration defaults. 35 If the system does not have a diskette drive, or the drive is disabled or misconfigured, use Setup to enable it.

Using the System Setup Utility (SSU) The SSU is on the configuration software CD-ROM shipped with the server. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities: • Assigns resources to devices and add-in boards before loading the OS. • Lets you specify boot device order and system security options. • Permits viewing and clearing of the system event log (SEL).
What You Need to Do You can run the SSU directly from the configuration software CD-ROM after you have installed a CD-ROM drive, or from a set of DOS diskettes. If you choose to run the SSU from DOS diskettes, you must copy the SSU from the CD-ROM to the diskettes and follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file to prepare the diskettes. If your diskette drive is disabled or improperly configured, you must use the flash-resident Setup utility to enable it so you can use the SSU.
Graphical Hardware Redirection through the Intel Remote Management Card (IRMC) Using graphical hardware redirection through the IRMC, you can: • • • See the SSU console in VGA graphics mode. Control the mouse. Control the keyboard from a local system connected to a remote server by a network or modem. The IRMC provides video memory, keyboard, and mouse redirection support.
Starting the SSU The SSU is a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The AF provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. 1. Turn on your video monitor and your system. 2. Start the SSU through one of two ways: • After creating a set of SSU diskettes from the CD-ROM: Insert the first SSU diskette in drive A.
Customizing the SSU You can customize the GUI according to your preferences. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU. Use these six user-customizable settings: • BackColor—(default = 3) lets you change the BACKGROUND color associated with different items on the screen to predefined color combinations. The changes are instantaneous.
Launching a Task It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although some tasks might require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. A task achieves complete control by commanding the center of operation until you close the task window.
To make a modification: 1. Highlight the function in the Configuration window. 2. Press the spacebar or , or double-click the entry (this updates the choice and resource lists). 3. Press the tab key to get to the choice list, and press . 4. Use the arrow keys to select a proper choice, and press again. 5. If the choice allows multiple possible values for a particular resource, use the hot key to select a resource and press the spacebar or double-click the resource. 6.
To Change or Clear the Administrator Password 1. 2. 3. 4. Click . Enter the old password in the first field. Enter the new password in the second field (or leave blank to clear). Confirm the password by entering it again in the second field (or leave blank to clear). Security Options The security options available to you depend on your platform. The list below is representative.

Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console The DPC console provides an interface, called the console manager, to the EMP on the server. This interface allows remote server management via a modem or direct connection.
Figure 9. DPC Console in Command State Figure 10. DPC Console in Redirect State Figure 10 shows the DPC console window in redirect state with the terminal window. The text appearing on the server monitor displays in the redirect window.
Availability of DPC console features is determined by the following: • The EMP access mode selected during configuration in the System Management Submenu of the BIOS Server Menu, and • Whether the server’s COM2 port is configured for console redirect in BIOS. The three EMP access modes are disabled, preboot, and always active. Table 10. DPC Console Access Modes (server configured for console redirect) Mode Server is powered off During POST After OS boots Disabled Redirect window appears but is blank.
Modem Configuration: On the client, the DPC console uses the Windows application program interface (API) to determine if a modem is connected and available. The DPC Console does not configure the modem; it should be preconfigured through Windows. For modem support, the server must use a Hayes-compatible 14400 bps modem. The modem must be on the NT hardware compatibility list provided by Microsoft. The server modem must be set in autoanswer mode for the DPC console to be able to connect to it.
Main DPC Console Window The main DPC console window provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to access server control operations and to launch the management plug-ins. A menu and tool bar at the top of the GUI provide options to initiate plug-ins and other support features. A status bar at the bottom displays connection information like server name, line status, and mode. Toolbar The toolbar buttons combine server control and management plug-in options available from the Connect and Action Menus.

Options available with the FRU viewer are: • View all FRU records. • View FRU summary information. • Set FRU display mode to either hex or verbose mode. • Close the FRU viewer. • Exit the DPC console. FRU Viewer Menu Options The following menu options are on the FRU viewer menu bar: • File: Close: Closes the FRU viewer. Exit: Exits the DPC console.
When to Run the FRUSDR Load Utility You should run the FRUSDR load utility each time you upgrade or replace the hardware in your server, excluding add-in boards, hard drives, and RAM. Because the utility must be reloaded to properly initialize the sensors after programming, turn the server off and remove the AC power cords from the server. Wait approximately 30 seconds, then reconnect the power cords and turn on the server.
Parsing the Command Line The FRUSDR load utility allows only one command line function at a time. A command line function can consist of two parameters. Example: -cfg filename.cfg. Invalid parameters generate an error message and cause the program to end. You can use either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. The -p flag can be used in conjunction with any of the other options.
Displaying a Given Area When the utility is run with the -d DMI, -d FRU, or -d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is displayed. Each area represents one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message and exits. Displaying DMI Area Each DMI area displayed is headed with the DMI area designated name.
Configuration File The configuration file is in ASCII text. The utility executes commands formed by the strings present in the configuration file. These commands cause the utility to run tasks needed to load the proper SDRs into the nonvolatile storage of the BMC and possibly generic FRU devices. Some of the commands may be interactive and require you to make a choice. Prompting for Product Level FRU Information Through the use of a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for FRU information.
Upgrading BIOS Preparing for the Upgrade Before you upgrade BIOS, record the current BIOS settings, obtain the upgrade utility, and make a copy of the current BIOS. Recording the Current BIOS Settings 1. Boot the computer and press when you see the message: Press Key if you want to run SETUP 2. Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program. ✏ NOTE Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your computer at the end of the procedure.
Creating the BIOS Upgrade Diskette The BIOS upgrade file is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains the files you need to upgrade. 1. Copy the BIOS upgrade file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. 2. From the C:\ prompt, change to the temporary directory. 3. To extract the file, type the name of the BIOS upgrade file, for example: 10006BI1.EXE 4. Press . The extracted file contains the following files: LICENSE.TXT README.TXT BIOS.EXE 5. Read the LICENSE.
Recovering BIOS It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, if an interruption occurs, BIOS could be damaged. In that case, you must recover BIOS. ✏ NOTE Because of the small amount of code available in the nonerasable boot block area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen during the procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker and looking at the diskette drive LED.
Using the Firmware Update Utility The Firmware Update Utility is a DOS-based program that updates the BMC’s firmware code. You need to run the utility only if new firmware code is necessary. Running the Firmware Update Utility 1. Create a DOS-bootable diskette. The version of DOS must be 6.0 or higher. 2. Place the firmware update utility (FWUPDATE.EXE) and the *.hex file on the diskette. Make a note of the *.hex file name, because you will need it later. 3.
4 Hot-Swapping Fans, SCSI Hard Drives, and Power Supplies Tools and Supplies Needed • • • Phillips (cross-head) screwdriver (#2 bit) Antistatic wrist strap (recommended) Pen or pencil Equipment Log To record the model and serial numbers of the server, all installed options, and any other pertinent information about the server, see Appendix B, “Equipment Log and Configuration Worksheets” on page 197. You will need this information when running the SSU.
Hot-Swapping Fans When the yellow fan failure LED on the front panel turns on, you can determine which fan is defective by checking each yellow fan failure LED mounted next to each fan. When a fan fails, the LED on the front panel will be on continuously. You must hot-swap the failed fan—remove and replace it—with a good one. You DO NOT need to shut down the server to hot-swap a failed fan.
3. Align the fan with the fan cavity. 4. Push straight down on the fan until it is fully seated in the cavity. 5. Replace the fan array cover with its securing screw. C D B A OM10702 Figure 15. Removing/Hot-swapping a Fan A. Fan cover screw B. Fan cover C. Grasp holes D.
Hot-Swapping a SCSI Hard Drive Hot-Swapping Bays Two 3.5-inch hot-swapping bays provide space for 3.5 inches X 1 inches (or 1.6 inches) single connector attachment (SCA2) SCSI hard disk drives. You can install up to two industry-standard wide/ultra or wide/ultra2 SCA-type hard disk drives in these bays. The power supply fans provide cooling for the hot swap drives. A system with two power supplies is capable of cooling most drives that would be installed into the system.
6. Place the drive and carrier assembly on an antistatic surface of a table or a workbench so that the drive handle and fingers overlap the edge of the table or the workbench (see Figure 17). 7. Using four screws of the appropriate size and length (not supplied), attach the carrier to the drive. CAUTION Some specific hard disk drive designs require electrical isolation of the drive from the chassis or other ground paths. These drives are usually clearly labeled with this requirement on the drive.
Installing a SCSI SCA Hard Disk Drive in a Hot-Swapping Bay See Figure 18. 1. Orient the carrier and drive assembly in front of the hot-swapping bay guide rails so that metal fingers of the perforated metal bracket attached to the carrier are facing up. Make sure that the carrier is placed correctly into the guide rails to avoid damage. 2. While grasping only the drive carrier handle, firmly push the assembly into the bay until the drive docks with the hot-swapping backplane connector.
Determining Drive Status Status LEDs arranged in sets of three below each of the two hot-swapping bays monitor the status of each drive. When a yellow LED is on continuously, it is okay to hot-swap (remove and replace) a bad drive with a good one. You DO NOT need to shut down the server to hot-swap a drive. Table 13.
Hot-Swapping Power Supplies ✏ NOTE You must have three power supplies installed to hot-swap a supply. If you have only two supplies installed, they must occupy the left and center bays (as you face the back of the server — see Figure 19 on page 89). When the yellow power supply failure LED on the front panel turns on, you can determine which power supply is defective by checking the three status LEDs on the back of each supply.
Removing a Power Supply CAUTIONS Turn off peripheral devices: If the chassis contains only two power supplies, turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server.

I/O Carrier Switch Summary Items in bold show default placement for each configurable option.
General Procedure to Change Switch Settings 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of Chapter 5 (page 93). 2. Turn off all connected peripherals and turn off system power. 3. Remove the PCI hot-plug cover. You do not need to remove the I/O carrier from the chassis. Due to the location of the switch block, an add-in card populated in slot 3 may need to be removed. 4. Refer to Figure 56 on page 173 for Switch SW4G1 location.
Password Clear Switch 1. Ensure that the system is powered off. Remove the PCI hot-plug cover. On switch SW4G1, slide or press switch number 6 to the right most position. 2. Power on the system. Wait for POST to complete and for the messages “Password cleared by jumper” and “Press F2 to enter Setup” to appear. This automatically clears the password. 3. Enter Setup and make any changes necessary (for example, changing the boot device). Press F10 to save the new Setup configuration and exit Setup. 4.
System I/O Addresses Table 30 shows the location in I/O space of all directly I/O-accessible registers. Table 30.
Memory Map Table 31 lists the system memory map. When BIOS allocates memory space to PCI devices, it starts just below the APICs and continues downward. Assigning memory space to PCI devices does not decrease the total available memory in the system because this memory is “reclaimed” above 4 GB. The server does not support memory gaps from 512 KB to 640 KB and from 15 MB to 16 MB. These regions are treated as normal system memory. Table 31.
