System Overview
Overview System Features Power Protection Devices Other Documents You May Need Obtaining Technical Assistance Technical Specifications
Overview
Your system is a rack-dense, highly available, feature-rich server that offers significant service and upgrade features. This system includes the following service features to make repair easy and effective:
q
Embedded server management hardware, which monitors temperatures and voltage levels throughout the system and notifies you if the system overheats, if a system cooling fan malfunctions, or if a power supply fails A comprehensive system diagnostics program, which checks for hardware problems (if the system can boot)
You can run the system diagnostics from either the utility partition on your hard drive or from a set of diskettes you create from the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD (see the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for complete instructions on using the system diagnostics software). This section describes the major hardware and software features of the system. It also describes hardware features that simplify servicing.
System Features
The system offers the following features:
q
One or two Intel Pentium III microprocessors with an internal operating frequency of at least 1.13 GHz, a level 2 cache of 512 KB, and a front-side bus speed of 133 MHz. Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP), which is available on systems with two Pentium III microprocessors. SMP greatly improves overall system performance by dividing microprocessor operations between independent microprocessors. To take advantage of this feature, you must use an operating system that supports SMP. NOTE: If you decide to upgrade the system by installing a second microprocessor, you must order a microprocessor upgrade kit. Not all versions of the Pentium III microprocessor work properly as a second microprocessor. The upgrade kit from the system manufacturer contains the correct version of the microprocessor for use as a second microprocessor as well as instructions for performing the upgrade. Both microprocessors must have the same internal operating frequency and cache size. A minimum of 256 MB SDRAM, upgradable to a maximum of 4 GB by installing combinations of SDRAM DIMMs in the four DIMM sockets on the system board.
file:///C|/Documents and Settings/JFLO/Escritorio/sm/intro.htm (1 of 7)17/06/2008 23:33:36
Support for up to three 1-inch, internal Ultra3 SCSI hard drives (with hot-plug capacity when using the optional ROMB card) or up to two IDE hard drives. A single, 1.44-MB, 3.5-inch diskette drive. An IDE CD or DVD drive. One or two 275-W AC power supplies or, if the system is powered by 48 VDC, one or two 48 VDC input power supplies (if two power supplies are installed, they are hot-pluggable in a 1+1 redundant configuration). Five hot-pluggable system cooling fans, with a sixth fan provided if an optional second hot-pluggable power supply is installed. An intrusion switch that signals the appropriate systems management software if the top cover is opened.
The system board includes the following features:

q
Two PCI slots located on the riser card (one full-length and one half-length 64-bit, 66-MHz slots, or optionally, one half-length 64-bit, 66-MHz slot and one full-length 32-bit, 33-MHz slot, on separate buses). An integrated VGA-compatible video subsystem with an ATI RAGE XL video controller. This video subsystem contains 8 MB of SDRAM video memory (nonupgradable). Maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 with 256 colors. 16.7 million colors are available for true-color graphics in the following resolutions: 640 x 480, 800 x 600, and 1024 x 768. An integrated, dual-channel Ultra3 SCSI host adapter. The internal channel supports up to three SCSI hard drives on the SCSI backplane. The SCSI backplane automatically configures SCSI ID numbers and SCSI termination on individual hard drives, greatly simplifying drive installation. The second SCSI channel (an external SCSI channel) is available at the back of the system. Optional ROMB through a separate RAID card that incorporates 128 MB of cache memory and a RAID battery (integrated RAID key). An optional embedded remote access (ERA) card that allows you to perform remote server management on your network server. An optional dual-channel RAID controller card for connection to external storage that supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10, and 50. Two integrated 10/100/1000 NICs, which provide an Ethernet interface. Optional DRAC III card that provides remote management capabilities for your system. The DRAC III card allows you to manage and monitor your system through a modem or network connection, even when the system itself is down. Embedded systems management circuitry that monitors operation of the system fans as well as critical system voltages and temperatures. The server management circuitry works in conjunction with your systems management software. Back-panel ports include mouse, keyboard, serial, video, two USB, external SCSI, server management, and two NIC ports. Front-panel ports include video, keyboard, mouse, and USB ports.
The following software is included in the system:

q
A System Setup program for quickly viewing and changing system configuration information. For more information on this program, see "Using the System Setup Program." Enhanced security features, including a system password and a setup password, available through the System Setup program. System diagnostics for evaluating system components and devices. For information on using the system diagnostics, see "Running the System Diagnostics" in your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide.
Video drivers for displaying many popular application programs in high-resolution modes. SCSI device drivers that allow the operating system to communicate with devices attached to the integrated SCSI subsystem. For more information on these drivers, see "Installing and Configuring SCSI Drivers" in the User's Guide. Systems management software and documentation CDs. Optional solutions software for the purposes of web hosting, caching, or load balancing. See your solutions software documentation for more information.
The system chassis simplifies removing and replacing system components. You can replace microprocessors or DIMMs without removing the system board. The SCSI backplane board and hard-drive carriers eliminate the extensive cabling and drive configuration usually required for a SCSI subsystem.
Power Protection Devices

A number of devices are available to protect your system from the effects of power problems such as power surges, transients, and power failures. The following subsections describe some of these devices.
Surge Protectors
Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection commensurate with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent over voltage spikes, such as those that may occur during an electrical storm, from entering the system through the electrical outlet. Surge protectors do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.
Line Conditioners
Line conditioners go beyond the over voltage protection of surge protectors. Line conditioners keep a system's AC power source voltage at a fairly constant level and provide protection from brownouts of short duration. Because of this added protection, line conditioners cost more than surge protectorsup to several hundred dollars. However, these devices cannot protect against a complete loss of power.
Uninterruptible Power Supplies

UPS systems offer the most complete protection against variations in power because they use battery power to keep the system running when AC power is unavailable or unusable. The battery is charged by the AC power while it is available so that once AC power is lost, the battery can provide power to the system for a limited amount of timefrom 15 minutes to an hour or sodepending on the UPS system. UPS systems range in price from a few hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, with the more expensive units allowing you to run larger systems for a longer period of time when AC power is lost. UPS systems that provide only 5 minutes of battery power let you conduct an orderly shutdown of the system but are not intended to provide continued operation. Surge protectors should be used with all UPS systems, and the UPS system should be UL safety approved.
Other Documents You May Need

You should be familiar with the following documentation, which is included with the system:
The Setting Up Your System sheet provides general instructions for setting up your system. The User's Guide describes system features and technical specifications, video and SCSI device drivers, the System Setup program, and software support utilities. The Installation and Troubleshooting Guide describes how to install, troubleshoot, and upgrade your system. The systems management software documentation describes the features, requirements, installation, and basic operation of the systems management software. Refer to the software's online help for information about the alert messages issued by the software. The Rack Installation Guide describes how install your system in a rack. The System Information Guide provides important safety and regulatory information. Warranty information might be included within this document or as a separate document. Operating system documentation may be included with the system. This documentation describes how to install (if necessary), configure, and use the operating system software. Documentation is included with any options you purchased separately from the system and provides information you need to configure and install these options in your system. Documentation is included with any optional solutions software such as web-hosting, caching, or load-balancing software.
You may also have the following documents. NOTE: Documentation updates are sometimes included with the system to describe changes to the system or software. Always read these updates before consulting any other documentation because the updates often contain information that supersedes the information in the other documents. Technical information filessometimes called "readme" filesmay be installed on the hard drive to provide lastminute updates about technical changes to the system or advanced technical reference material intended for experienced users or technicians.

Overview
This section describes basic troubleshooting procedures that can help you diagnose a system problem. These procedures can often reveal the source of a problem or indicate the correct starting point for servicing the system. A brief explanation of how to load and start the system diagnostics can be found in "Running the System Diagnostics." The manufacturer recommends that you perform the following procedures in the order presented.
Initial User Contact

When you first contact a user who has a problem, ask the user to describe the problem and the conditions under which it occurs. After the user describes the problem, perform the following steps: 1. Ask the user to back up any data on the hard drive if the systems condition permits. See the documentation provided with the operating system or applications software for information about backing up data. 2. Ask the user to try to duplicate the problem by repeating the operations he or she was performing at the time the problem occurred. Can the user duplicate the problem? Yes. Proceed to step 3. No. Proceed to the next section, "External Visual Inspection."
file:///C|/Documents and Settings/JFLO/Escritorio/sm/basics.htm (1 of 6)17/06/2008 23:33:51
3. Observe the user to determine if he or she is making an error, such as typing an incorrect key combination or entering a command incorrectly. Is the problem a result of user error? Yes. Instruct the user in the proper procedure or direct the user to the appropriate user documentation for the correct procedure. No. Proceed to "External Visual Inspection."
External Visual Inspection

Improperly set switches and controls and loose or improperly connected cables are the most likely source of problems for the system, monitor, or other peripherals (such as a printer, keyboard, mouse, or other external equipment). A quick check of all the switches, controls, and cable connections can easily solve these problems. The external visual inspection consists of a quick inspection of the exterior of the system, the monitor (if attached), the keyboard (if attached), any peripherals, and cables. While performing the visual inspection, make any necessary corrections. To perform the external visual inspection, perform the following steps: 1. Inspect the front-panel LEDs for indication of component malfunction. 2. Turn off the system, the monitor (if attached), and all peripherals. 3. Verify that all power cables are properly connected to the system, the monitor and peripherals, and their power sources. 4. Inspect connections to any attached devices including network cables, keyboard, monitor, mouse (if used), or keyboard/video monitor/mouse (KVM) switch (if used), as well as any devices attached to the serial port. 5. Inspect all external monitor controls for any obvious damage or improper settings (if used). For proper settings of the video monitor controls, see the documentation for the monitor. 6. Inspect the keyboard (if used) to ensure that no keys are sticking. If one or more keys are sticking, it may be necessary to replace the keyboard. 7. Inspect the exterior of the system, including all controls and indicators, and all user-accessible data storage devices for any signs of physical damage. Does the inspection reveal any problems? Yes. Proceed to the appropriate procedure in "Removing and Replacing Parts." No. Proceed to "Observing the Boot Routine."

Internal Visual Inspection
NOTICE: Before you proceed with the internal visual inspection described in this section, ensure that the user has saved all open files and exited all open application programs, if possible. A simple visual inspection of a systems interior hardware can often lead to the source of a problem, such as a loose expansion card, cable connector, or mounting screw. When you perform the visual inspection, see "System Features" to locate components referenced in the inspection procedure. To perform the internal visual inspection, perform the following steps: 1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect all the power cables from electrical outlets. CAUTION: Before beginning to work inside the system, disconnect the power supply from the power source and the power supply cables from the power supply. 2. Open the system doors as described in "Opening the System Doors." CAUTION: The microprocessor and heat-sink assembly can get extremely hot during system operations. Be sure that it has had sufficient time to cool before touching it. CAUTION: When handling the microprocessor and heat-sink assembly, take care to avoid sharp edges on the heat sink. 3. Verify that the memory modules, expansion cards, and microprocessor and heat-sink assembly or assemblies are fully seated in their sockets or connectors. 4. To remove and reseat a microprocessor and heat-sink assembly, perform the steps described in "Adding or Replacing a Microprocessor." 5. To remove and reseat a memory module, perform the steps described in "Adding or Replacing Memory Modules." 6. If you need to remove and reseat an expansion card, remove the card as described in "Replacing an Expansion Card," and carefully reinsert the card in its connector until fully seated. 7. Verify that all jumpers are set correctly. For information about jumper settings, see "System Board Jumpers." 8. Check all cable connectors inside the system to verify that they are firmly attached to their appropriate connectors. 9. Close the system doors. 10. Reconnect the system and any attached peripherals to their power sources, and turn them on. Does the problem appear to be resolved?
Yes. No further steps are necessary. No. Proceed to "Obtaining Technical Assistance."
Running the System Diagnostics

You can run the system diagnostics from either the utility partition on your hard drive or from a set of diskettes that you create from the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD. To run the diagnostics from the utility partition, perform the following steps: 1. Start the utility partition by pressing <F10> during POST. 2. From the utility partition's main menu, select the Run System Diagnostics option. See "Using the Dell OpenManage Server CD" in the User's Guide for additional information about the utility partition. To run the system diagnostics from the diskettes, perform the following steps: 1. Create a set of diagnostics diskettes using the Dell OpenManage Server Assistant CD. See "Using the Dell OpenManage Server CD" in the User's Guide for information on creating diskettes. 2. Boot the system from the first diagnostics diskette. When you start the diagnostics, a message is displayed telling you that the diagnostics is loading. The Diagnostics menu appears. The menu allows you to run all or specific diagnostic tests or to exit the system diagnostics. NOTE: Before you read the rest of this section, you may want to start the system diagnostics so that you can see it on your monitor screen. For a quick check of the system, select Test All Devices and then select Quick Tests. This option runs only the device tests that do not require user interaction and that do not take a long time to run. You should choose this option first to increase the chance of tracing the source of the problem quickly. To test a particular device, select Test One Device. For a complete check of the system, select Test All Devices and then select Extended Tests. To check a particular area of the system, choose Advanced Testing. When you select Advanced Testing, the main screen of the diagnostics appears. This screen includes a listing of the various device groups in the system and the system's service tag.
To view data on test results, select Information and Results. Select Program Options to view the Program Options screen, which lets you set various test parameters. By selecting the Device Configuration option, you can see an overview of the devices in the system. Selecting Exit to MS-DOS exits the diagnostics and returns you to the operating system environment (or the utility partition's main menu if you are running the diagnostics from the utility partition). To select an option from the Diagnostics menu, highlight the option and press <Enter>, or press the key that corresponds to the highlighted letter in the option you choose.
Using the SW_NMI Switch

Your system incorporates a memory dump/reset switch labeled SW_NMI on the system board. If your system uses the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system and the system stalls or "crashes" due to software problems, pressing the SW_NMI switch causes the contents of system memory to be "dumped" to a file for later analysis and continues with a hard reset, or reboot, of the operating system. This switch is intended to be used by service technicians, applications software developers, device driver developers, and system administrators who would benefit from information provided by the system if it performed a memory dump before a hard reset. The SW_NMI switch is located next to the configuration jumpers on the system board (see Figure 1 in "Jumpers and Connectors").

Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and asks you to take corrective action before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a diskette, a message might warn you that you might lose all data on the diskette, as a way to protect against inadvertently erasing or writing over the data. These warning messages usually interrupt the procedure and require you to respond by typing y (yes) or n (no). NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the application program or the operating system. See your Installation and Troubleshooting Guide and the documentation that accompanied the operating system and application program for more information on warning messages.
Diagnostics Messages
When you run a test group or subtest in the system diagnostics, an error message might result. These particular error messages are not covered in this section. Record the message on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist (located in "Getting Help" in the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide), and then follow the instructions in that section for obtaining technical assistance.
Alert Messages
The optional systems management software generates alert messages for your system. For example, the server agent software generates messages that appear in the SNMP trap log file. Alert messages consist of information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive, temperature, fan, and power conditions. More information about alert messages is provided in the systems management software documentation on the documentation CD that shipped with your system.
System Beep Codes

When an error that cannot be reported on the monitor occurs during a boot routine, the system may emit a series of beeps that identify the problem. The beep code is a pattern of sounds; for example, one beep followed by a second beep and then a burst of three beeps (code 1-1-3) means that the computer was unable to read the data in NVRAM. This information is valuable if you need to call for technical assistance. When a beep code is emitted, record it on a copy of the Diagnostics Checklist, and then look it up in Table 2. If you are unable to resolve the problem by looking up the meaning of the beep code, use the system diagnostics to identify a more serious cause.

Blue and amber system status indicator
The blue system status indicator lights up during normal system operation. The server management software can also cause the blue system status indicator to flash to identify a particular system. The amber system status indicator flashes when the system needs attention due to a problem with power supplies, fans, system temperature, or hard drives. NOTE: If the system is connected to AC power, the amber system status indicator will flash regardless of whether the system has been powered on.
NIC1 and NIC2 link and activity indicators
The link and activity indicators for the two integrated NICs light when the NICs are in use.
Hard-drive indicator
The green hard-drive activity indicator flashes when the hard drives are in use (see Figure 4 for more information on hard-drive indicators).
Power button
The power button lights when the system power is on.
The power button controls the DC power output of the system's power supplies. The power button lights green when the system power is on. NOTE: If you turn off the system using the power button and the system is running an ACPI-compliant operating system (such as Microsoft Windows 2000), the system performs a graceful shutdown before the power is turned off. If the system is not running an ACPIcompliant operating system, the power is turned off immediately after the power button is pressed. The two identification buttons on the front and back panels can be used to locate a particular system within a rack. When one of these buttons is pushed, the blue identification indicators on the front and back blink until one of the buttons is pushed again.
The front panel also incorporates a USB connector, a video connector, and a PS/2 connector to connect a mouse and keyboard using a Y-cable (see Figure 3).
Back-Panel Features
The following features are on the system's back panel (see Figure 3): Figure 3. Back-Panel Features
1 PCI expansion-card slots (2) 2 External SCSI connector 3 System identification button 4 Blue and amber system status indicator 5 Server management connector (when available) 6 NIC connectors (2) 7 USB connectors (2) 8 Mouse connector 9 Serial connector 10 AC or DC power input connectors (PS1 [left] and PS2) 11 Video connector 12 Keyboard connector 13 System status indicator connector
The system status indicator connector (13 in Figure 3) is used to extend the blue and amber system status indicator (4 in Figure 3) to the cablemanagement arm when the system is installed in a rack.
SCSI Hard-Drive Indicators

If your system has SCSI hard drives and if the integrated RAID controller is activated, two indicators on each of the hard-drive carriers provide information on the status of the hard drives (see Figure 4). The SCSI backplane firmware controls the drive power-on/fault indicator.
Figure 4. Hard Drive Indicators

1 Drive power-on/fault indicator (green or amber) 2 Drive-activity indicator (green)
Table 5 lists the drive indicator patterns. Different patterns are displayed as drive events occur in the system. For example, in the event of a harddrive failure, the "drive failed" pattern appears. After the drive is selected for removal, the "drive being prepared for removal" pattern appears, followed by the "drive ready for insertion or removal" pattern. After the replacement drive is installed, the "drive being prepared for operation" pattern appears, followed by the "drive online" pattern. NOTE: If the optional ROMB card is not installed, you will see only the "drive online" indicator patterns. You will also see the drive-activity indicator blink when the drive is being accessed.
Table 5. SCSI Hard-Drive Indicator Patterns

Redundant Power-Supply Features and Indicators

Your system may have one or two power supplies installed. Your system may require AC input power or it may require 48 VDC input power. A system designed for 48 VDC input power has power subsystem components that are not compatible with a system designed for AC power input. Each power supply has three indicators that indicate the power on status, fault, and whether the proper input power is present. If two power supplies are installed, the power supplies are hot-pluggable (see Figure 5 and Table 6).

Replacing Power Supplies

CAUTION: Before attempting to install the replacement power supply, check to ensure that you are installing the same type power supply. You cannot install an AC input power supply in a system configured for 48 VDC power; and conversely, you cannot install a 48 VDC power supply in a system configured for AC power. Your system may have one or two power supplies installed. If two power supplies are installed, they are hot-pluggable, which means that you can replace one without shutting down the system and turning off the power. For systems with two hot-pluggable power supplies, begin this procedure at step 2. CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
1. If your system has a single power supply, turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlets. 2. Open the system doors. CAUTION: In a system with two power supplies, the power supplies are hot-pluggable. Remove and replace only one power supply at a time. CAUTION: The connectors on the PSDB contain high voltages. Do not remove the metal cover from the PSDB or touch the connectors on the PSDB or the power supply. 3. Identify the failed supply using the red fault indicator on the top of the supply (see "Messages, Codes, and Indicators"). 4. While grasping the power supply handle, slide the power supply away from the PSDB 0.75 inch (2 cm), and then lift the power supply out of the chassis (see Figure 5).

Riser-Board Expansion-Card Connectors

Expansion cards are installed on the system's riser board (see Figure 16). The riser board plugs into the RISER connector on the system board and is considered an extension of the system board. Your system is available with two different riser board configurations (see Figure 16):
q
Two 64-bit, 66-MHz expansion slots One 64-bit, 66-MHz expansion slot (PCI2) and one 32-bit, 33-MHz expansion slot (PCI1) for 5-V cards NOTE: The optional server management card uses the 32-bit, 33-MHz, 5-V expansion slot.
You can install only half-length PCI cards in the lower expansion slot (PCI2). You can install a full-length expansion card in the upper expansion slot (PCI1) unless you have installed an optional server management card. In this case, neither slot will accommodate full-length cards. Figure 16. Riser-Board Expansion-Card Connectors

Installing a Replacement Expansion Card

To install a replacement or an additional expansion card, perform the following steps: 1. Prepare the replacement expansion card for installation. See the documentation that came with the expansion card for information on configuring the card, making internal connections, or otherwise customizing the card for the system.
2. If the replacement card is an identical replacement, ensure that any jumpers or configuration switches are set in an identical manner as the expansion card you just removed. 3. Locate the slot from which you removed the faulty expansion card. If this is an additional expansion card, select the expansion slot in which you will install the new expansion card. 4. Install the new expansion card: a. Remove the filler panel bracket from the expansion slot, if this is a new installation. b. Lower the card into the system. If the card is a full-length card, you may need to guide the front edge of the card into the full-length card support bracket. c. Insert the card-edge connector firmly into the expansion-card connector on the riser board until the card is fully seated. 5. When the card is seated in the connector, replace and secure the expansion-card latch. 6. Connect any cables that should be attached to the card. See the documentation supplied with the card for information about its cable connections. 7. Close the system doors. 8. Replace the front bezel, if one was removed. 9. Close the system doors, reconnect the system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on.
Adding and Replacing Memory Modules

The four memory module sockets on the system board can accommodate from 256 MB to 4 GB of registered SDRAM. The memory module sockets are arranged in pairs consisting of two banks (bank 1 and bank 2). These banks are located near the back edge of the system board (see Figure 26) next to the back power supply. CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
System Memory Upgrade Kits

The system is upgradable to 4 GB by installing combinations of 128-, 256-, 512-MB, and 1-GB registered memory modules. If you receive an error message stating that the maximum memory has been exceeded, see Messages, Codes and Indicators. You can purchase memory upgrade kits from the system manufacturer as needed.
NOTE: The memory modules must be PC-133 compliant.
Memory Module Installation Guidelines

Starting with the socket farthest from the power-supply bay, the memory module sockets are labeled BANK1_DIMM_A, BANK1_DIMM_B, BANK2_DIMMA, and BANK2_DIMM_B (see Figure 18). When you install memory modules, follow these guidelines:
q
You must install memory modules in matched pairs (see Figure 18). Install a pair of memory modules in bank 1 before installing a second pair in bank 2.

Performing a Memory Upgrade

To perform a memory upgrade to the system board, perform the following steps. CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its power source. For more information, read the safety instructions in your System Information document." 1. Open the system doors. 2. Locate the memory module sockets in which you will install or replace memory modules. Figure 24 shows the general location of the memory module sockets on the system board. Figure 16 shows the order of the memory module sockets. 3. Install or replace the memory modules as necessary to reach the desired memory total (see "Adding or Installing Memory Modules" or "Removing Memory Modules"). 4. Close the system doors, reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system. After the system completes the POST routine, it runs a memory test. The system detects that the new memory does not match the system configuration information and displays an error message. 5. Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check the System Memory setting on the System Setup screens. The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory setting to reflect the newly installed memory. 6. If the System Memory value is incorrect, one or more of the memory modules may not be installed properly. Repeat steps 1 through 5, checking to make sure that the memory modules are firmly seated in their sockets. 7. Run the system memory test in the system diagnostics.
Adding or Installing Memory Modules

To add or install a memory module, perform the following steps. CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document.
1. Press down and outward on the ejectors on the memory module socket, as shown in Figure 19, to allow the memory module to be inserted into the socket. 2. Align the memory module's edge connector with the slot in the center of the memory module socket, and insert the memory module into the socket (see Figure 19).
The memory module socket has two alignment keys that allow the memory module to be installed in the socket in only one way. 3. Press down on the memory module with your thumbs while pulling up on the ejectors with your index fingers to lock the memory module into the socket (see Figure 19). When the memory module is properly seated in the socket, the ejectors on the memory module socket should align with the ejectors on the other sockets with memory modules installed. 4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 of this procedure to install the remaining memory modules. 5. Perform steps 4 through 7 of "Performing a Memory Upgrade." Figure 19. Adding or Installing a Memory Module

Adding or Replacing a Microprocessor

The system board has two zero-insertion-force (ZIF) sockets which hold microprocessors and heat-sink assemblies. If you are adding a microprocessor, the secondary microprocessor must have the same operating frequency as the first. For example, if the system has a 1.13-GHz primary microprocessor, your secondary microprocessor must also be a 1.13-GHz microprocessor. NOTICE: If you are upgrading a system by installing a secondary microprocessor, or one or two higher-speed microprocessors, you must order your upgrade kits from the system manufacturer. The upgrade kits from the system manufacturer contain the correct version of the microprocessor for use as a secondary microprocessor.
Removing a Microprocessor and Heat-Sink Assembly

To remove the microprocessor and heat-sink assembly, perform the following steps. CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in System Information document. CAUTION: The microprocessor chip and heat sink can become extremely hot. Be sure the microprocessor has had sufficient time to cool before handling. CAUTION: When handling the microprocessor and heat-sink assembly, take care to avoid sharp edges on the heat sink.
1. Turn off the system, including any attached peripherals, and disconnect the power cable from its power source. 2. Open the system doors. 3. Locate the microprocessor ZIF sockets into which you will install or replace a microprocessor and heat-sink assembly. 4. To remove the retention clip that secures the heat sink to the microprocessor socket, press down firmly on the tab on the retention clip, and then
remove the clip from the heat sink (see Figure 21). 5. Remove the heat sink and set it down with the underside of the heat sink facing up. NOTICE: Note the orientation of the heat sink with respect to the microprocessor and its ZIF socket. The heat sink and its securing clip must be aligned with the arrow beside the ZIF socket on the system board. NOTICE: Never remove the heat sink from a microprocessor unless you intend to remove the microprocessor. The heat sink is necessary to maintain proper heat transfer from the microprocessor. 6. Pull the socket release lever straight up until the microprocessor is released (see Figure 22). Figure 21. Retention Clip and Heat Sink Removal
1 Retention clip 2 Alignment arrow
7. Lift the microprocessor straight up and away from the ZIF socket (see Figure 22). Leave the release lever in the upright position so that the socket is ready for the replacement microprocessor. Figure 22. Removing the Microprocessor
1 Microprocessor chip 2 ZIF socket 3 Release lever
Installing a Microprocessor and Heat-Sink Assembly

CAUTION: Read the safety instructions in your System Information document. NOTICE: Be careful not to bend any of the pins when unpacking the microprocessor chip. Bending the pins can permanently damage the microprocessor chip. To install an additional or a replacement microprocessor and heat-sink assembly, perform the following steps. This procedure assumes the system cover and front bezel have been removed, the system power is off, and all power cables and peripheral cables are disconnected. 1. Unpack the new microprocessor. If any of the pins on the microprocessor appear bent, see "Obtaining Technical Assistance" for instructions on obtaining technical assistance. NOTICE: Identifying the pin-1 corners is critical to positioning the chip correctly.
2. Identify the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor by turning the chip over and locating the tiny gold triangle that extends from one corner of the large central rectangular area. The gold triangle points toward pin 1, which is also uniquely identified by a triangular pad (see Figure 23). Figure 23. Pin 1 Identification
1 Pin 1 corner (gold triangle)
3. Align the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor chip (see Figure 24) with the pin-1 corner of the microprocessor socket. NOTICE: Positioning the microprocessor incorrectly can permanently damage the chip and the system when you turn on the system.
4. Install the microprocessor chip in the socket (see Figure 24). a. If the release lever on the microprocessor socket is not all the way up, move it to that position now.
NOTICE: When placing the microprocessor chip in the socket, be sure that all of the pins on the chip go into the corresponding holes of the socket. Be careful not to bend the pins. b. With the pin-1 corners of the chip and socket aligned, set the chip lightly in the socket and make sure that all pins are matched with the correct holes in the socket. Because the system uses a ZIF microprocessor socket, there is no need to use force (which could bend the pins if the chip is misaligned). When the chip is positioned correctly, it should drop down into the socket with minimal pressure. c. When the chip is fully seated in the socket, rotate the socket release lever back down until it snaps into place, securing the chip. Figure 24. Installing the Microprocessor
1 Pin 1 corner of microprocessor aligned with pin-1 corner of ZIF socket
NOTICE: Note the orientation of the heat sink with respect to the microprocessor and its ZIF socket. The heat sink and its securing clip must be aligned with the arrow head beside the ZIF socket on the system board. 5. Place the new heat sink on top of the microprocessor chip (see Figure 25). 6. Replace the retention clip: a. Orient the clip so that the release tab is facing the back of the system and the alignment arrow on the system board. b. Hook the unfolded end of the clip over the tab on the edge of the socket facing the front of the system. c. Press down on the release tab on the free end of the clip to snap the clip over the tab on the socket (see Figure 25). Figure 25. Installing the Heat Sink and Retention Clip
1 Retention clip 2 Heat sink 3 Alignment tab 4 Microprocessor chip 5 Alignment arrow head on system board 6 ZIF socket 7 Slot in system board
7. Close the system doors. 8. Replace the front bezel, if one was removed. 9. Reconnect your system and peripherals to their electrical outlets, and turn them on. As the system boots, it detects the presence of the new microprocessor and automatically changes the system configuration information in the System Setup program. 10. Press <F2> to enter the System Setup program, and check that the microprocessor categories match the new system configuration. 11. Run the system diagnostics to verify that the new microprocessor is operating correctly. See "Running the System Diagnostics" for information on running the diagnostics and troubleshooting any problems that may occur.

Replacing the Battery

The system battery is a 3.0-V, coin-cell battery that maintains system configuration, date, and time information in a special section of memory when you turn off the system. The operating life of the battery ranges from 2 to 5 years, depending on how you use the system (for example, if you keep the system on most of the time, the battery gets little use and thus lasts longer). You may need to replace the battery if an incorrect time or date is displayed during the boot routine. You can operate the system without a battery; however, the system configuration information maintained by the battery in NVRAM is erased each time you remove power from the system. Therefore, you must reenter the system configuration information and reset the options each time the system boots until you replace the battery. To replace the battery, perform the following steps. CAUTION: Before you perform this procedure, you must turn off the system and disconnect it from its power source. See "Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge" in the safety instructions in your System Information document. CAUTION: There is a danger of a new battery exploding if it is incorrectly installed. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions. See the System Information document for additional information.

Overview Jumpers A General Explanation System Board Jumpers System Board Labels SCSI Backplane Boards Disabling a Forgotten Password
Overview
This section provides specific information about the jumpers on the system board. It also provides some basic information on jumpers and describes the connectors and sockets on the various boards in the system.
Jumpers A General Explanation

Jumpers provide a convenient and reversible way of reconfiguring the circuitry on a printed circuit board. When installing replacement parts or reconfiguring the system, you may need to change jumper settings on the system board. You may also need to change jumper settings on expansion cards or drives.
Jumpers
Jumpers are small blocks on a circuit board with two or more pins emerging from them. Plastic plugs containing a wire fit down over the pins. The wire connects the pins and creates a circuit. To change a jumper setting, pull the plug off its pin(s) and carefully fit it down onto the pin(s) indicated.
NOTICE: Make sure the system is turned off before you change a jumper setting. Otherwise, damage to the system or unpredictable results may occur. A jumper is referred to as open or unjumpered when the plug is pushed down over only one pin or if there is no plug at all. When the plug is pushed down over two pins, the jumper is referred to as jumpered. The jumper setting is often shown in text as two numbers, such as 1-2. The number 1 is printed on the circuit board so that you can identify each pin number based on the location of pin 1.

Using the System Setup Program

Entering the System Setup Program System Setup Options Using the System Password Feature Using the Setup Password Feature
Each time you turn on your system, the system compares the configuration of the hardware installed in the system to the hardware listed in the system configuration information stored in NVRAM on the system board. If the system detects a discrepancy, it generates error messages that identify the incorrect configuration settings. The system then prompts you to enter the System Setup program to correct the settings. You can use the System Setup program as follows:
q
To change the system configuration information after you add, change, or remove any hardware in your system To set or change user-selectable optionsfor example, the time or date on your system To enable or disable any integrated device in your system
After you set up your system, run the System Setup program to familiarize yourself with your system configuration information and optional settings. Print the System Setup screens (by pressing the <Print Screen> key) or record the information for future reference.
Entering the System Setup Program

Enter the System Setup program as follows: 1. Turn on your system. If your system is already on, shut it down and then turn it on again. 2. Press <F2> immediately after you see the following message in the upper-right corner of the screen: <F2> = System Setup You can also press <F10> to enter Utility Mode or <F12> for PXE Boot. PXE Boot forces a system boot from the network. If you wait too long and your operating system begins to load into memory, let the system complete the load operation, and then shut down the system and try again.

Using the System Password Feature

NOTICE: The password features provide a basic level of security for the data on your system. However, they are not foolproof. If your data requires more security, it is your responsibility to obtain and use additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs. Your system is shipped to you without the system password feature enabled. If system security is a concern, you should operate your system only with system password protection. You can assign a system password whenever you use the System Setup program. After a system password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the system.
When the System Password option is set to Enabled, the system prompts you for the system password just after the system starts. To change an existing system password, you must know the password (see "Deleting or Changing an Existing System Password"). If you assign and later forget a system password, a jumper setting on the system board must be temporarily changed, disabling the system password feature (see "Disabling a Forgotten Password"). Note that this erases the setup password at the same time. NOTICE: If you leave your system running and unattended without having a system password assigned or if you leave your system unlocked so that someone can disable the password by changing a jumper setting, anyone can access the data stored on your hard drive.
Assigning a System Password

Before you can assign a system password, you must enter the System Setup program and check the System Password option. When a system password is assigned, the setting shown for the System Password option is Enabled. If the Password Status option is Unlocked, you can change the system password. If the Password Status option is Locked, you cannot change the system password. When the system password feature is disabled by a jumper setting on the system board, the setting shown is Disabled, and you cannot change or enter a new system password. When no system password is assigned and the password jumper on the system board is in the enabled (default) position, the setting shown for the System Password option is Not Enabled and the Password Status field is Unlocked. To assign a system password, perform the following steps: 1. Verify that the Password Status option is set to Unlocked. 2. Highlight the System Password option and then press <Enter>. 3. Type your new system password. You can use up to 32 characters in your password. As you press each character key (or the spacebar for a blank space), a placeholder appears in the field. The password assignment operation recognizes keys by their location on the keyboard without distinguishing between lowercase and uppercase characters. For example, if you have an M in your password, the system recognizes either M or m as correct. Certain key combinations are not valid. If you enter one of these combinations, the speaker emits a beep. To erase a character when entering your password, press the <Backspace> key or the left-arrow key. NOTE: To escape from the field without assigning a system password, press <Enter> to move to another field, or press <Esc> at any time prior to completing step 5. 4. Press <Enter>. 5. To confirm your password, type it a second time and press <Enter>. The System Password option changes to Enabled. Your system password is now set. You can exit the
System Setup program and begin using your system. NOTE: Password protection does not take effect until you restart the system by turning the system off and then on again.
Using Your System Password to Secure Your System

Whenever you turn on or reboot your system by pressing the <Ctrl><Alt><Del> key combination, the following prompt appears on the screen when the Password Status option is set to Unlocked: Type in the password and... -- press <ENTER> to leave password security enabled. -- press <CTRL><ENTER> to disable password security. Enter password: If the Password Status option is set to Locked, the following prompt appears: Type the password and press <Enter>. After you type the correct system password and press <Enter>, your system completes the startup sequence and you can use the keyboard or mouse to operate your system as usual. NOTE: If you have assigned a setup password (see "Using the Setup Password Feature"), the system accepts your setup password as an alternate system password. If a wrong or incomplete system password is entered, the following message appears: ** Incorrect password. ** Enter password: If an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered again, the same message appears. The third and subsequent times an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered, the system displays the following message: ** Incorrect password. ** Number of unsuccessful password attempts: 3 System halted! Must power down. The number of unsuccessful attempts made to enter the correct system password can alert you to an unauthorized person attempting to use your system. Even after your system is turned off and on, the previous message is displayed each time an incorrect or incomplete system password is entered. NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the System Password and Setup Password options to further protect your system from unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing System Password

1. When prompted, press <Ctrl><Enter> to disable the existing system password, instead of pressing <Enter> to continue with the normal operation of your system. If you are asked to enter your setup password, you may need to contact your network administrator who has the setup password. 2. Enter the System Setup program by pressing <F2> during POST. 3. Select the System Security field to verify that the Password Status option is set to Unlocked. 4. When prompted, type the system password. 5. Confirm that Not Enabled is displayed for the System Password option. If Not Enabled is displayed for the System Password option, the system password has been deleted. If you want to assign a new password, continue to step 6. If Not Enabled is not displayed for the System Password option, press the <Alt><b> key combination to restart the system, and then repeat steps 2 through 6. 6. To assign a new password, follow the procedure in "Assigning a System Password."
Using the Setup Password Feature

Your system is shipped to you without the setup password feature enabled. If system security is a concern, you should operate your system with the setup password feature enabled. You can assign a setup password whenever you use the System Setup program. After a setup password is assigned, only those who know the password have full use of the System Setup program. To change an existing setup password, you must know the setup password (see "Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password"). If you assign and later forget a setup password, you cannot operate your system or change settings in the System Setup program until the password jumper setting is changed to disable the passwords and erase the existing passwords. This procedure is described in "Disabling a Forgotten Password."
Assigning a Setup Password

A setup password can be assigned (or changed) only when the Setup Password option is set to Not Enabled. To assign a setup password, highlight the Setup Password option and press the left- or right-arrow key. The system prompts you to enter and verify the password. If a character is illegal for password use, the system emits a beep. NOTE: The setup password can be the same as the system password. If the two passwords are different, the setup password can be used as an alternate system password. However, the system password cannot be used in place of the setup password. After you verify the password, the Setup Password setting changes to Enabled. The next time you enter the System Setup program, the system prompts you for the setup password. A change to the Setup Password option becomes effective immediately (restarting the system is not required).
Operating With a Setup Password Enabled

If Setup Password is set to Enabled, you must enter the correct setup password before you can modify the majority of the System Setup options. When you start the System Setup program, the program prompts you to type the password. If you do not enter the correct password in three tries, the system lets you view, but not modify, the System Setup screenswith the following exception. If System Password is not set to Enabled and is not locked via the Password Status option, you can assign a system password (however, you cannot disable or change an existing system password). NOTE: You can use the Password Status option in conjunction with the Setup Password option to protect the system password from unauthorized changes.
Deleting or Changing an Existing Setup Password

To delete or change an existing setup password, perform the following steps: 1. Enter the System Setup program and select the System Security option. 2. Highlight the Setup Password option, press <Enter> to access the setup password window, and press <Enter> two more times to clear the existing setup password. The setting changes to Not Enabled. 3. If you want to assign a new setup password, perform the steps in "Assigning a Setup Password."
