1 Setting up the System Safety Information Server Position Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer: ! CAUTION The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms with humidity over 70%, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not expose the server to any temperatures over +30°C or under +10°C.
System Access Warnings ! CAUTION To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following safety instructions apply whenever accessing the inside of the product: • Turn off all peripheral devices connected to this product. • Turn off the system by pressing the power button to off. • Disconnect the AC power by unplugging all AC power cords from the system or wall outlet. • Disconnect all cables and telecommunication lines that are connected to the system.
Powering up the System At the front of the case, you can find the neccessary controls like power button, reset button and the HDD LEDs. Press the power button one time briefly in order to boot the server. DVD Figure 1. Front View A. HDD Tray Activity LEDs F. Power LED B. USB 2.0 Port G. Failure LED C. Reset Button H.

Hardware Requirements To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements outlined below. Memory The Server Board provides four DIMM sockets across two channels, Channel A and Channel B. Channel A consists of DIMM sockets 1A and 2A. Channel B consists of DIMM sockets 1B and 2B. A minimum of one 256 MB DIMM is required in DIMM socket 1A. This uses single-channel interleave.
3 Hardware Installations and Upgrades Before You Begin Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the “Safety Information” at the beginning of this manual. Tools and Supplies Needed • Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit) • Needle nosed pliers • Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended) Installing and Removing Memory The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM_2B, DIMM_1B, DIMM_2A, DIMM_1A starting from the edge of the board.
6. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position (see letter “A” in Figure 5). 7. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. 8. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM socket (see letter “B” in Figure 5). 9. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket (see letter “C” in Figure 5). 10.
Replacing the Backup Battery The lithium battery on the server board powers the RTC for up to 10 years in the absence of power. When the battery starts to weaken, it loses voltage, and the server settings stored in CMOS RAM in the RTC (for example, the date and time) may be wrong. Contact your customer service representative or dealer for a list of approved devices. ! WARNING Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
To replace the battery, follow these steps: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3. Disconnect the AC power cord from the server. 4. Remove the server‘s cover and locate the battery. 5. Lift the battery retention mechanism (see Figure 6). 6. Remove the battery from its socket. Figure 6. Removing the Battery 7. Dispose of the battery according to local ordinance. 8.
4 Server Utilities Using the BIOS Setup Utility This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being present.
Table 6 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup menus. Table 6. Keyboard Commands Press Description Help - Pressing F1 on any menu invokes the general Help window. ←→ The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu pages. The keys have no affect if a sub menu or pick list is displayed. ↑ Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a menu item’s option list, or a value field pick list.
Enter Boot Options Menu When starting the server press F10 to enter the boot options menu after POST completes the memory test. The boot options menu allows you to select a boot device independant of the boot order set in the BIOS. This selection only affects the current boot process. Clearing the CMOS If you are not able to access the BIOS setup screens, the CMOS Clear jumper will need to be used to reset the configuration RAM. 1. Power down the system and disconnect the AC power. 2. Open the server. 3.
Configuring the System for embedded Serial ATA RAID Configuring the BIOS 1. Make sure you are having at least two SATA hard drives. 2. Enter system BIOS Setup by pressing the key after the Power-On-Self-Test (POST) memory tests begin. 3. Go to “Advanced” - “Drive Configuration”; ensure “Configure SATA as RAID” is enabled. 4. Then save your settings by pressing . Creating your RAID set 1.
5 Regulatory and Compliance Information Product Regulatory Compliance Product Safety Compliance The server complies with the following safety requirements: • EN 60950 (European Union) • CE – Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) (European Union) Product EMC Compliance The server has been tested and verified to comply with the following electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) regulations: • EN 55022 (Class A) – Radiated & Conducted Emissions (European Union) • EN 55024 (Immunity) (European Union) • CE – EMC
