Video ControllerThe system has an integrated ATI RAGE XL 64 bit high-performance SVGAsubsystem that supports the following:

! BIOS compatibility with VGA, EGA, CGA, Hercules Graphics, and MDA

! 8 MB of 10ns onboard Synchronous Graphics Memory (SGRAM)

1-10 System Overview

! Pixel resolutions up to 1280 X 1024

! Analog VGA monitors (single and multiple frequency, interlaced and non-interlaced) with a maximum vertical retrace non-interlaced frequency of100 Hz.

Peripheral ControllerThe advanced integrated peripheral controller supports two serial ports, two universalserial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse, andintegrated Real Time Clock (RTC). The system provides the connector interface foreach port.

Serial Ports

Both serial ports are relocatable. Each serial port can be set to one of four differentaddresses and can be enabled separately. When disabled, serial port interrupts areavailable to add-in boards.

Parallel Port

One IEEE 1284-compatible 25-pin bi-directional EPP (supporting levels 1.7 and 1.9)parallel port is provided. BIOS programming enables the parallel port and determinesthe port address and interrupt. ECP mode is supported with 2 possible DMA channels.When disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in boards.

External Device ConnectorsThe external I/O connectors provide support for a PS/2 compatible mouse and akeyboard, for a SVGA monitor, 2 serial port connectors, a parallel port connector, LANport, and two USB connections.

ACPIThe Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system canplace the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, andall processing is halted. However, in this state the power supply is still on and theprocessors are still dissipating some power such that the power supply fan andprocessor fans are still running.

Note: ACPI requires an operating system that supports itsfeature.

This server system BIOS supports sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5. However, with futureversions of Microsoft Windows 9X that support ACPI, the system BIOS only supportssleep states s0, s1, and s5. With future versions of Microsoft Windows NT that supportACPI, the system BIOS will only support sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5.

System Overview 1-11

! CAUTIONOnly when the AC power is disconnected is the system completelyoff.

The sleep states are defined as follows:

! s0: Normal running state.

! s1: Processor sleep state.No context will be lost in this state and the processor caches will maintaincoherency.

! s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk.The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the power button orother wakeup event restores the system state from the disk and resumes normaloperation. This assumes that no hardware changes have been made to the systemwhile it was off.

! s5: Soft off.Only the RTC section of the chipset and the BMC are running in this state.

AC Link ModeThe AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that when theAC input power is lost and then restored the system will return itself to one of three pre-selected settings, listed as follows:

! Power On

! Last State (Factory Default Setting)

! Stay Off.

The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility (F2).Refer to Chapter 3 "Configuring Your System."

1-12 System Overview

Remote Power-On (Wake ON LAN) FunctionThe remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network ormodem. If the system power is set to OFF, it can be turned on remotely by sending aspecific packet from the main computer to the remote system. This feature can beenabled or disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility. See Chapter 3.

Note: This feature must be supported by your operating system.

Degradation FeatureThe degradation feature automatically isolates a failed DIMM, processor, or cooling fanto assure continuous operation of the server. The failed DIMM, processor, or coolingfan is detected and isolated during POST (Power On Self-Test, self-diagnosis programafter power on). POST runs automatically during system startup.

Failed DIMMs, processors, and cooling fan may be identified by a POST error codedisplay, or by viewing NEC ESMPRO error messages.

System SecuritySecurity with Mechanical Locks and Monitoring

To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes a fullylockable side panel.

Software Locks via the System Setup UtilityThe BIOS Setup Utility provides a number of security features to prevent unauthorizedor accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, access to thesystem is allowed only after the user enters the correct password(s). For example:

! Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password toreactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period 2 to120minutes.

! Set and enable an administrative password.

! Set and enable a user password

! Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of thefront panel reset and power switches.

! Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly.

! Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set.

Figure 2-3. Making Connections


Connecting the Power CordPlug the female end of the AC power cord into the input receptacle on the rearof the power supply cage. Plug the male end of the power cord into NEMA 5-15R outlet for 100-120 VAC or NEMA 6-15R outlet for 200-240 VAC.

If the power cord supplied with the system is not compatible with the AC walloutlet in your region, obtain a suitable power cord that meets the followingcriteria.

! The power cord must be rated for the available AC voltage and have acurrent rating that is at least 125% of the current rating of the system.

! The power cord connector that plugs into the wall outlet must beterminated in a grounding-type male plug designed for use in your region.It must have certification marks showing certification by an agencyacceptable in your region.

! The power cord connector that plugs into the system must be an IEC-type CEE-22 female connector.

! The power cord must be less than 1.8 meters (6.0 feet) long.

When connecting the power cord to a power control unit such as an UPS,confirm that the power control unit is powered off. Connecting the power cordwhile power is supplied to the power control unit may cause a failure.

! WARNINGYour system shipped with a power cord for the powersupply. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied ACpower cord if it is not the exact type required.


Powering On Your SystemPower on your system as follows.

1. Make sure all external devices, such as a video display, keyboard, andmouse have been connected, and the power cords are connected.

2. Power on the video display and any other external devices.

3. Press the push-button power on/off switch on the front panel. Verify that thesystem power-on LED is lit. See Figure 2-1 for the location of the power-onLED.

Problem SolvingThis chapter helps you identify and solve problems that may occur during systeminstallation or while using your system. The first section of this chapter tells you how toreset your system in the event of problems. The next few sections providetroubleshooting checklists and procedural steps that help you isolate specific systemproblems. The last section includes BIOS, system, and disk status user information.

! WARNINGThe DC push-button on/off switch on the front panel does not turn offthe system AC power. Also, +5vdc is present on the system boardwhenever the AC power cord is connected between the system andan AC outlet. Before doing the procedures in this manual, make surethat your system is powered off and unplug the AC power cords fromthe back of the chassis. Failure to disconnect power before openingyour system can result in personal injury and equipment damage

! CAUTIONOperating your system with the side panels removed can damageyour system components. For proper cooling and airflow, alwaysreplace the side panels before powering on your system.

Static PrecautionsAn electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option boards, and othercomponents. You can provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strapattached to chassis ground when handling system components.

Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To prevent damage, keepthem in their protective packaging when they are not installed in your system.

Problem Solving 5-3

Troubleshooting ChecklistsThe following subsections provide troubleshooting checklists for problems that occur atinitial system startup, when you run new application software, and after the systemhardware and software have been running correctly.

Initial System StartupIncorrect installation or configuration usually causes problems that occur at initialsystem startup. Hardware failure is a less frequent cause. If you have problems duringinitial system startup, check the following:

! Is the system power cord properly connected to the system and plugged into aNEMA 5-15R outlet (100-120 Vac) or a NEMA 6-15R outlet (200-240 Vac)?

! Is AC power available at the wall outlet?

! Is the power on/off push-button switch on the front panel in the ON position (poweron LED should be lit)?

! Are all cables correctly connected and secured?

! Are all the PCI option boards fully seated in their connector slots on the systemboard?

! Are all jumpers and switch settings on option boards and peripheral devices correct?If applicable, ensure that there are no conflicts; for example, two option boardssharing the same interrupt.

! Are all DIMMs fully seated and installed correctly? Refer to Chapter 4 forinstallation instructions?

! Are all option boards and disk drives installed correctly? Refer to the Chapter 4.

! Is the system hard disk drive properly formatted or defined?

! Is the operating system properly loaded? Refer to the operating systemdocumentation.

! Are all drivers properly installed? For information about installing drivers, refer toyour Network Operating System Configuration Guide.

! Are the configuration settings in BIOS Setup and the Adaptec SCSI Utility correct?For information about running these utilities, refer to the “Configuring YourSystem” chapter.

If the above items are all correct, but the problem reoccurs, refer to “AdditionalTroubleshooting Procedures” in this chapter.

5-4 Problem Solving

Running New Application SoftwareProblems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to thesoftware. Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runscorrectly. If you have problems while running new application software, check thefollowing:

! Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? Referto the software documentation.

! Is the software an authorized copy? Unauthorized copies often do not work. Obtainan authorized copy of the software.

! If you are running the software from a diskette, is it a good copy?

! If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, is the software correctlyinstalled? Where all necessary procedures followed and files installed?

! If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk is the disk scratched or dirty?

! Are the correct device drivers installed?

! Is the software correctly configured for the system?

! Are you using the software correctly?

! If other software runs correctly on the system, contact your vendor about the failingsoftware.

If the problems persist with the software, contact the software vendor's customer servicerepresentative.

Problem Solving 5-5

After System Has Been Running CorrectlyProblems that occur after the system hardware and software have been runningcorrectly often indicate equipment failure. However, many situations that are easy tocorrect can also cause such problems. If you have problems after the system has beenrunning correctly, check the following:

! If you are running the software from a diskette or CD-ROM, try a new copy of thesoftware.

! If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, try running it from a floppy.If the software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on the harddisk. Reinstall the software on the hard disk drive and try running it again. Makesure all the necessary files are installed.

! If the problem recurs, you may need to reformat the hard disk drive. The hard diskdrive, the drive controller, or the system board may be defective.

! If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard (ifkeyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random componentfailures.

! If you suspect that a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout might haveoccurred, reload the software and try running it again. Symptoms of voltage spikesinclude a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and the system notresponding to user commands.

Note: Voltage spikes can corrupt or destroy data files on thedrive. If you are experiencing voltage spikes on the power line, installa surge suppresser between the power outlet and the system powercord.

If the problem recurs after you have checked and corrected all of the above items, referto “Diagnostic Testing” in this chapter.

5-6 Problem Solving

Diagnostic TestingThis section provides a more detailed approach to diagnostic testing and identificationof a problem and locating its source.

Error CheckingEach time you turn on the system, POST (Power-On-Self-Test) runs automatically andchecks the system boards, processors, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheraldevices.

If POST finds an error, it displays an error message. Refer to the Error Message sectionin this chapter for an explanation of each error message.

Troubleshooting GuideUse the following troubleshooting procedures to help you identify a problem. Thesegeneral procedures lead you through the following:

! Preparing the system for diagnostic testing

! Monitoring POST while it is running

! Verifying proper operation of key system LEDs

! Confirming loading of the operating system.

Preparing the System for Diagnostic Testing

To prepare the system for diagnostic testing, perform the following:

Note: Before disconnecting any peripheral cables from thesystem, turn off the system and any external peripheral devices.Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the system and/orthe peripheral devices.

1. Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices. Disconnect all devices fromthe system except the keyboard and video monitor.

2. Make sure the system power cord is plugged into a properly grounded AC outlet.

3. Make sure your video display monitor and keyboard are correctly connected to thesystem. Turn on the video monitor. Set its brightness and contrast controls to at leasttwo-thirds of their maximum ranges (refer to the documentation supplied with yourvideo display monitor).

4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there isno diskette in drive A. Otherwise, place a diskette containing the operating systemfiles in drive A.

5. Turn on the system. If the power indicator LED does not light, refer to “PowerLight Does Not Light” found later in this chapter.

Problem Solving 5-7

Monitoring POST

Each time you turn on the system, the Power-On Self-Test (POST) runs automaticallyand checks the system board, processor board, memory, keyboard, and most installedperipheral devices.

During the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to accessand test. Depending on the amount of memory, it may take several minutes to completethe memory test.

Press F2 to enter SETUP. If you do not press F2, the above message remains for a fewseconds and the boot process continues.

If POST finds an error, it displays an error message and, in case there is a problem withthe display, it emits a series of long and short beeps. Write down any beep codeemitted. This information is useful to your service representative.

Refer to the “BIOS User’s Information” section in this chapter for a list of items tocheck for each error code and for an explanation of the error beep codes.

The POST Tests table at the end of this chapter lists keys active during POST andprovides a description of errors that may occur.

The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area inthe Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on the screen, which issometimes preceded by the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to theEvent Logging area.

Report any error code to your service representative.

5-8 Problem Solving

POST Keys and Errors

Action/Message Description

If POST Beeps BeforeVideo Appears

Initialization failed before video initialized. Most beep codeerrors are fatal; initialization cannot continue. Refer to thesection “BIOS User’s Information” in this chapter.

If Monitor Displays Error Note error; press F1 to continue boot or F2 to enter Setup.Refer to the section “BIOS User’s Information” in this chapter.

To Enter Setup Setup changes specific options, then writes to CMOS,NVRAM. Press F2 during initialization to run Setup. If you donot press F2, the boot process continues.

Enter BOOT Diskette If prompted, insert the boot diskette.

Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Indicators

As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each massstorage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity indicatorshould turn on briefly. Check for the following:

! Does the diskette drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “DisketteDrive Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter.

! Does the hard disk drive activity indicator turn on briefly? If not, refer to “Hard DiskDrive Activity Indicator Does Not Light” in this chapter.

Confirming Loading of the Operating System

Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen. Theprompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system prompt doesnot appear, refer to “Problems with Application Software” found later in this chapter.

Problem Solving 5-9

! Are the system power cords properly connected to the power supplies and the ACwall outlets?

! Are the power connectors for the cooling fans connected?

! Is the front panel power on indicator lit?

If the switches and connections are correct and the power outlet is functioning, thepower supply has probably failed. Contact your service representative for assistance.

Diskette Drive Activity LED Does Not LightCheck the following:! Is the diskette drive's combined power and signal cables properly installed?

! Is the diskette drive properly configured?

! Is the diskette drive activity light always on? If so, the signal cable may be pluggedin incorrectly.

If you are using the onboard diskette drive controller, use BIOS Setup to make sure thatthe diskette drive controller is set to Enabled. For information about running BIOSSetup, refer to the “Configuring Your System” chapter.If the problem persists, there may be a problem with the diskette drive, system board, ordrive signal cable. Contact your service representative for assistance.

! Is the BIOS set to allow the CD-ROM to be the second bootable device? Check yourBIOS Setup (F2) configuration.

Problems with the NetworkDiagnostics pass, but the connection fails:

! Make sure the network cable is securely attached. ACT/Link activity LED located onthe front panel should be blinking if there is activity between the system and thenetwork.

The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed:

! Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller.

! Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure youroperating system supports shared interrupts; OS/2 does not.

! Try reseating the add-in adapter.

The add-in adapter stopped working without apparent cause.

! Try reseating the adapter first; then try a different slot if necessary.

! The network driver files may be corrupt or deleted. Delete and then reinstall thedrivers.

! Run the diagnostics.


Plug and Play Installation TipsSome common PCI tips are listed here.

! Reserve interrupts (IRQs) and/or memory addresses specifically for an ISA adapter.This prevents PCI cards from trying to use the same settings an ISA card is using.Use the BIOS Setup Utility to keep track of ISA adapter resources.

! Certain drivers may require interrupts that are not shared with other PCI drivers.The BIOS Setup Utility can be used to adjust the interrupt numbers for PCI devices.For certain drivers, it may be necessary to alter settings so that interrupts are notshared.

BIOS User’s InformationThis section describes the various screen messages and beep codes of the system BIOS.The BIOS indicates errors by writing an error code to the PS/2-standard logging area inthe Extended BIOS Data Area, and by displaying a message on the screen, which issometimes preceded by the POST Error Code. The error code will also be logged to theEvent Logging area.

Note: Your system error log will be lost, if your system ac powersource is off or disconnected.


POST Error Codes and MessagesWhenever a recoverable error occurs during POST, BIOS displays a message on thevideo display screen and causes the speaker to beep as the message appears. BIOS alsoissues a beep code (one long tone followed by two short tones) during POST if thevideo configuration fails or if an external ROM module does not a checksum of zero.The “POST Error Codes and Messages” table is a list of the possible error codes andmessages written at the start of each POST test. The “POST Error Beep Codes” table isa list of beep codes issued for each POST test. Figure 5-1 shows the location of specificcomponents referenced in the POST Error Codes and Messages Table.
