1 Setting up the System Server Position Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up your computer: 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. Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.

Server Board Features
2 Server Board Features This chapter briefly describes the main features of the server board. This chapter provides a list of server board features and diagrams showing the location of important components and connections on the server board. The server board includes dual-channel Serial ATA and dual-channel Parallel ATA support. RAID 0 and 1 support is provided for Serial ATA drives. Table 2 summarizes the major features of the server board. Table 2.

Hardware Requirements Processor The server board is designed to support one or two Intel® Xeon™ processors utilizing an 800 MHz front side bus with frequencies starting at 2.8 GHz. Previous generations of the Xeon processor are not supported. The server board is designed to provide up to 120 A of current per processor. Processors with higher current requirements are not supported. Memory The server board provides four DDR266 / DDR333 DIMM sites in two DIMM banks.
Server Board Installations and upgrades
3 Server Board Installations and Upgrades Before You Begin Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the installation precautions at the end 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 Installing and Removing Memory The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM1B, DIMM1A, DIMM2B, and DIMM2A, starting from the inside of the board.
6. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed outward to the open position. 7. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. 8. Position the DIMM above the socket. Align the small notch in the bottom edge of the DIMM with the keys in the socket (see inset in Figure 5.) 9. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket. 10. When the DIMM is inserted, push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place.
Installing or Replacing the Processor NOTES Use the instructions provided below to install or replace a processor instead of using the instructions that came with the processor. If a single processor is to be used, it must be installed in the processor socket labeled CPU1. This socket is located closest to the corner of the server board. When installing a second processor, verify that the processors are identical and of the same voltage and speed. Do not mix processors of different types or frequencies.
7. Remove the heat sink from its packaging. The heat sink has thermal interface material (TIM) applied to the bottom of it. Be careful not to damage the TIM when you handle the heat sink. 8. Set the heat sink on top of the processor, aligning the captive screws in the heat sink with the standoffs around the processor socket. See Figure 7, letter A. Your heat sink style may vary. 9. Finger-tighten each captive screw, working around the heat sink. Tighten the screws evenly.
Removing the Processor To remove the processor, follow these instructions: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the end of this manual. See “Installation Precautions”. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3. Remove power from your system by unplugging the AC power cord. 4. Remove the chassis cover. See your chassis documentation for instructions. 5. Server Chassis SC5275-E only: Disconnect the processor fan cable. 6.
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.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions above and at the end of this book. See “Installation Precautions”. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3. Remove power from your system by unplugging the AC power cord. 4. Remove the chassis cover. See your chassis documentation for instructions. 5. Locate the battery. See Figure 8. 6. Gently pull back on the metal tab to release the battery. 7. Remove the battery from its socket. TP00685 Figure 8.
Server Utilities
4 Server Utilities BIOS Setup Press to enter the BIOS Setup. Table 5. BIOS Setup 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 submenu 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. Pressing the Enter key activates the selected item.
BIOS Setup (Continued) Save and Exit - Pressing F10 causes the following message to appear: Setup Confirmation Save Configuration changes and exit now? [Yes] [No] If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, all changes are saved and Setup is exited. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before F10 was pressed without affecting any existing values.
LED Information The MAXDATA Server Board includes LEDs that can aid in troubleshooting your system. A table of these LEDs with a description of their use is listed below. Table 6.
BIOS Error Messages When a recoverable error occurs during the POST, the BIOS displays an error message describing the problem (see Table 7). Table 7. BIOS Error Messages. Error message Explanation GA20 Error An error occurred with Gate A20 when switching to protected mode during the memory test. Pri Master HDD Error Pri Slave HDD Error Sec Master HDD Error Sec Slave HDD Error Could not read sector from corresponding drive.
BIOS Error Messages (Continued) Error message Explanation On Board Parity Error A parity error occurred in onboard memory. This error is followed by an address. Parity Error A parity error occurred in onboard memory at an unknown address. NVRAM / CMOS / PASSWORD cleared by Jumper NVRAM, CMOS, and passwords have been cleared. The system should be powered down and the jumper removed. Pressed CMOS is ignored and NVRAM is cleared. User must enter Setup.
BIOS Recovery Beep Codes Table 9. BIOS Recovery Beep Codes Beeps Reason 1 One long beep – video is active. 1-2 One long beep and two short beeps: Insert the BIOS recovery diskette. An error or warning condition at boot can result in a series of beeps being issued known as „beep codes“. These beeps have a code that identifies system or PCI card events. For example, some Intel® RAID cards have beep codes. Before checking for a system beep code error make sure the PCI card is not causing the beeping.
