Power Supply  
The power supply consists of the power supply bay and one power supply module. A  
second power supply module can be purchased to provide a redundant, 1+1 system.  
With either configuration, the power supply provides 350 watts of power and is  
designed to minimise EMI.  
The power supply operates within the following voltage ranges and is rated as  
follows:  
100 - 120 V~ at 50/60 Hertz (Hz); 6.3A maximum  
200 - 240 V~ at 50/60 Hz; 2.5A maximum  
The power subsystem supports the implementation of remote management features,  
including remote enable that permits power to be activated from a variety of sources.  
System Cooling  
The chassis includes two 80-mm non-hot-swappable system fans for cooling the  
processor(s), hard drives, and add-in cards. A third fan may be added in the center  
position to provide cooling redundancy for system components. The system fans are  
mounted in a fan assembly located in the middle of the chassis to pull cooling air  
through the chassis. The power supply contains a single fan for cooling.  
Security  
To help prevent unauthorised access to the system’s peripherals and control panel,  
an optional key-locked front bezel can be used. The chassis also includes a  
preinstalled intrusion switch that can be monitored by server management software.  
When the cover is opened, a switch located on the front panel board transmits a  
signal to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) on the server board.  
Through server management software, the system can be programmed to respond  
to an intrusion by powering down or by locking the keyboard. At the chassis level a  
variety of security options are provided.  
Rack and Cabinet Mounting Options  
The SX220 chassis was designed to support 19” wide by up to 30” deep server  
cabinets. The chassis comes equipped with a relay rack or cabinet mount kit that can  
be configured to support front-mount or mid-mount 2-post racks and 4-post cabinets.  
Viglen also provides an optional sliding rail kit that is used to mount the chassis into  
a standard (19” by up to 30” deep) EIS 310D compatible server cabinet.  
For mounting in a regular server cabinet, the front mount brackets are attached to  
the front of the chassis, and a set of rear support brackets are attached to the back  
end of the cabinet. This evenly distributes the server to prevent the mounting rails on  
the cabinet from bending. Caution should be used in using the front mount-only  
option. Even though the rail mount kit hardware was designed to support the weight  
10

of the system, some 2-post relay racks may not, causing the racks to fail. Only use  
relay racks that are specifically designed to support the weight and stresses of a 2-  
post front-mount only chassis.  
Optional Peripherals  
The SX220 server chassis provides six hard drive bays at the front of the chassis. An  
optional seventh drive may be used in the flex bay. All hard drive bays may be  
populated with a tray mounted 3½” hard disk drive. If a configuration requires the use  
of a floppy disk drive and CDROM drive Floppy/CDROM module may be used in  
place of the seventh hard drive in the flex bay. A tape drive bay is located below the  
flex bay.  
Hot-Swappable Hard Disk Drives  
The SX220 server chassis can support up to seven tray-mounted SCA2, 3½” x 1”  
and Ultra2/Ultra160 hard disk drives.  
A major feature of the hot-swap bay is the backplane which powers down a drive  
when a failure is detected and reported to the SCSI bus. When a new drive is  
inserted, the power control waits a short time for the drive to become fully seated  
and then applies power to the drive. The backplane provides signals to the control  
panel to indicate failure status for each drive in the bay.  
The chassis ships with six drive carriers for mounting the separately purchased hard  
drives. For information on how to install these drives, refer to page 43.  
Flex Bay  
For those configurations that require a floppy drive and CD-ROM drive, the seventh  
drive bay or “Flex Bay” will be configured as a peripheral bay by inserting the  
Floppy/CDROM module. The Floppy/CDROM module is a 3½” floppy drive and a ½”  
(12.7mm) slim-line CDROM drive mounted as a single unit in the peripheral bay. A  
release latch allows for tool-less removal from the front of the server, however, the  
Floppy/CDROM Module is not hot swappable. The system must be powered down  
before the module is inserted or removed from the flex bay.  
If the Flex Bay is used to house a SCA2 hard disk drive the bay will be hot-  
swappable the same as the six other standard bays.

Processor  
The SCB2 motherboard accommodates one or two Intel Pentium III processors with  
512k cache in the FC-PGA2 package. This processor uses the 0.13 micron  
technology and offers advanced performance. The processor external interface  
operates at a maximum of 133 MHz.  
Memory  
The system board contains six 168-pin DIMM slots each supporting 72-bit ECC (64-  
bit main memory plus ECC) registered SDRAM DIMMs (PC-133 compatible).  
Memory is two-way interleaved and partitioned in three banks. You may install a  
minimum of 128 MB (64MB x 2) and as much as 6 GB.  
The controller automatically detects, sizes, and initialises the memory array,  
depending on the type, size, and speed of the installed DIMMs, and reports memory  
size and allocation to the server via configuration registers.  
NOTE: Use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the server board.  
Contact your sales representative or dealer for a current list of approved  
memory modules  
Add-in Board Slots  
The server board has two PCI riser slots, each capable of supporting 64-bit/66-MHz  
PCI riser cards. PCI features:  
• Bus speed up to 66 MHz  
• 32 bit memory addressing  
• 5 V/3.3 V signaling environment  
• Burst transfers of up to 512 Mbps  
• 8, 16, 32, or 64-bit data transfers

Video  
The SCB2 motherboard uses an ATI RAGE XL PCI graphics accelerator with 8 MB  
of video SDRAM that supports all standard IBM VGA modes. The embedded SVGA  
video subsystem supports:  
• Pixel resolutions up to 1600 x 1200 under 2D and 1024 x 768 under 3D  
• CRT and LCD monitors up to 100 Hz vertical refresh rate  
The server board supports disabling of the onboard video through the BIOS setup  
menu or when a plug in video card is installed in any of the PCI slots.  
SCSI Controller  
The server board includes an embedded Adaptec AIC-7899W controller providing  
dual Ultra160 Low Voltage Differential (LVD) SCSI channels.  
The SCSI bus is terminated on the server board with active terminators that cannot  
be disabled. The onboard device must always be at one end of the bus. The device  
at the other end of the cable must also be terminated. LVD devices generally do not  
have termination built-in and need to have a termination source provided. Non-LVD  
devices generally are terminated through a jumper or resistor pack on the device  
itself.  
IDE Controller  
The system includes a single channel enhanced IDE 32 bit interface controller for  
intelligent disk drives with disk controller electronics onboard. The controller has a  
connector located on the system board that supports a master and a slave device.  
The device controls:  
• PIO and DMA transfer modes  
• DMA-33 capable  
• Mode 4 timings  
• Transfer rates up to 33 MB/s  
• Buffering for PCI/IDE burst transfers  
• Master/slave IDE mode  
• Up to two devices.

Network Controller  
NOTE: To ensure EMC product regulation compliance, the system must be used  
with a shielded LAN cable.  
The server board uses two Intel® 82550PM Fast Ethernet Controllers and supports  
two 10Base-T/100Base-TX network subsystems. The 82550 PM controller supports  
the following features:  
• 32-bit PCI, CardBus master interface  
• Integrated IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 100Base-TX compatible PHY  
• IEEE 820.3u auto-negotiation support  
• Chained memory structure similar to the 82559, 82558, 82557 and 82596  
• Full duplex support at both 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps operation  
• Low power +3.3 V device  
• IP checksum off-loading  
The SX220 server NIC 1 can be used as both a network interface and server  
management interface.  
NIC Connector and Status LEDs  
The 82550 controller drives LEDs on the network interface connector that indicates  
link/activity on the LAN and 10- or 100-Mbps operation. The green LED indicates  
network connection when on and TX/RX activity when blinking. The yellow LED  
indicates 100-Mbps operation when lit.  
Network Teaming Features  
NOTE: Using both on-board NICs in a team does not allow the use of NIC 1 for  
server management access. To support both network teaming features and  
server management features, a third NIC must be added and teamed to NIC  
2.  
The network controller provides several options for increasing throughput and fault  
tolerance when running Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, NetWare 4.1x or newer, or  
Linux:  
• Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) - provides automatic redundancy for your  
adapter. If the primary adapter fails, the secondary takes over. AFT works  
with any hub or switch.  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
17  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) - creates a team of 2 - 8 adapters to increase  
transmission throughput. Also includes AFT. Works with any 10Base-TX or  
100Base-TX switch.  
• Fast EtherChannel (FEC) or Intel® Link Aggregation - creates a team of up to  
8 adapters to increase transmission and reception throughput. Also includes  
AFT. Requires a FEC-enabled switch.  
To set up an option, read the instructions in the Windows NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x  
readme files.  
General Configuration Notes  
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support Adapter Teaming options.  
2. Adapter Teaming options require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 4.0 or Service Pack  
3.0 and the Windows Hot Fix.  
3. In Windows NT, teaming options cannot be implemented on adapters that have  
been configured for VLANs. NetWare can support teaming options and VLANs on  
the same adapters.  
Adapter Fault Tolerance  
Adapter Fault Tolerance (AFT) is a simple, effective, and fail-safe approach to  
increase the reliability of server connections. AFT gives you the ability to set up link  
recovery to the server adapter in case of a cable, port, or network interface card  
failure. By assigning two server adapters as a team, AFT enables you to maintain  
uninterrupted network performance.  
AFT is implemented with two server adapters: a primary adapter and a backup, or  
secondary, adapter. During normal operation, the backup will have transmit disabled.  
If the link to the primary adapter fails, the link to the backup adapter automatically  
takes over.  
Preferred Primary Adapter  
With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary  
adapter. For example if you have a server with a PRO/1000 server adapter as the  
primary adapter and a PRO/100+ adapter as the secondary, you could configure the  
PRO/1000 server adapter to be the preferred primary. In this scenario, if the  
PRO/1000 server adapter fails, the PRO/100+ will take over. Then when the  
PRO/1000 server adapter is replaced, it will automatically revert to being the primary  
adapter in the team.  
If a Preferred Primary is not selected, PROSet will attempt to select the best adapter,  
based on adapter model and speed.

Mixed Adapter Teaming  
AFT supports up to eight server adapters per team, in any mix.  
Adaptive Load Balancing  
Adaptive Load Balancing (ALB) is a simple and efficient way to increase your  
server’s transmit throughput. With ALB you group server adapters in teams to  
provide an increased transmit rate (up to 8 Gbps) using a maximum of eight  
adapters. The ALB software continuously analyses transmit loading on each adapter  
and balances the rate across the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for  
ALB also provide the benefits of AFT. Receive rates remain at 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps  
depending on the primary adapter’s capability.  
To use ALB, you must have 2-8 server adapters installed in your server or  
workstation and linked to the same network switch.  
Cisco Fast EtherChannel  
Fast EtherChannel (FEC) is a performance technology developed by Cisco to  
increase your server’s throughput. Unlike ALB, FEC can be configured to increase  
both transmission and reception channels between your server and switch. FEC  
works only with FEC-enabled switches, such as the Catalyst 5000 series. With FEC,  
as you add adapters to your server, you can group them in teams to provide up to 18  
Gbps at full duplex, with a maximum of 8 server adapters. The FEC software  
continuously analyses loading on each adapter and balances network traffic across  
the adapters as needed. Adapter teams configured for FEC also provide the benefits  
of AFT.  
To use FEC, you must have 2, 4, or 8 server adapters installed in your server and  
linked to the same FEC-enabled Cisco switch.  
Keyboard and Mouse  
The keyboard/mouse controller is PS/2-compatible. If specified through the System  
Setup Utility (SSU), the server may be locked automatically if there is no keyboard or  
mouse activity for a predefined length of time. Once the inactivity (lockout) timer has  
expired, the keyboard and mouse do not respond until the previously stored  
password is entered. A Y-cable can be used if both a PS/2 mouse and keyboard are  
required at the same time.  
RJ-45 Serial Port  
The rear RJ-45 serial port is a fully functional COM port that supports any standard  
serial device and provides support for serial concentrators, which typically support  
RJ45 serial connectors. For server applications that use a serial concentrator to  
access the server management features of the baseboard, a standard 8-pin CAT-5  
cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the rear RJ45 serial port.  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
19  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
The 8 pins of the RJ45 connector can be configured to match either of two pin-out  
standards used by serial port concentrators. To accommodate either standard, the  
J6A2 jumper block located directly behind the rear RJ45 serial port must be  
jumpered appropriately according to which standard is desired.  
NOTE: By default, as configured in the factory, the SCB2 baseboard will have the  
rear RJ45 serial port configured to support a DSR signal.  
For serial concentrators that require a DCD signal, the J6A2 jumper block must be  
configured as follows: The DCD jumper in position 2 and 3 and the DSR jumper in  
position 2 and 3. Pin 1 on the jumper is denoted by an arrow directly next to the  
jumper block. See Figure 9 on page 129 for the jumper block pin-out of this  
configuration.  
Figure 6: Jumper Block Pin-out  
For serial concentrators that require a DSR signal, the J6A2 jumper block must be  
configured as follows: The DSR jumper in position 1 and 2 and the DCD jumper in  
position 1 and 2. An arrow directly next to the jumper block denotes pin 1 on the  
jumper. See Figure 7.  
Figure 7: Jumper Clock Pin-out  
For those server applications that require a DB9 type of serial connector, an 8-pin  
RJ45-to-DB9 adapter must be used. The following table defines the pin-out required  
for the adapter to provide RS232 support.

NOTE: The RJ45-to-DB9 adapter should match the configuration of the serial device  
used. One of two pin-out configurations are used depending on whether the  
serial device requires a DSR or DCD signal. The final adapter configuration  
should also match the desired pin-out of the RJ45 connector, as it can also  
be configured to support either DSR or DCD.  
For systems configured with both a front and rear RJ45 serial connectors,  
the adapters used for the rear port cannot be used with the front port, as the  
pin-out for both RJ45 ports are different. For example, modem applications  
typically use DCD. In this case the user would use a DCD-configured  
adapter and set the jumper block as shown in Figure 6.  
ACPI  
The SCB2 server motherboard supports the Advanced Configuration and Power  
Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0 and PC97 specifications. An ACPI  
aware operating system can put the system into a state where the hard drives spin  
down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, the power supply  
will still be on and the processors will still be dissipating some power, so the power  
supply fans will still run.  
The boards sleep states s0, s1, s4, and s5:  
• s0: Normal running state.  
• s1: Processor sleep state. No context will be lost in this state and the  
processor caches will maintain coherency.  
• s4: Hibernate or Save to Disk: The memory and machine state are saved to  
disk. Pressing the power button or other wakeup event will restore the system  
state from the disk and resume normal operation. This assumes that no  
hardware changes have been made to the system while it was off.  
•
s5: Soft off: Only the RTC section of the CSB and the BMC are running in this  
state. No context is saved by the OS or hardware.  
CAUTION!  
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.  
Security  
Intrusion Switch Monitoring  
To help prevent unauthorised entry or use of the server, Intel® Server Control server  
management software monitors the chassis intrusion switch if one is installed.  
Opening an access cover will transmit an alarm signal to the server board, where  
BMC firmware and server management software process the signal. The system can

be configured through ISC to respond to an intrusion a number of ways, including  
powering down or locking the keyboard.  
Software Locks  
The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security  
features to prevent unauthorised or accidental access to the system. Once the  
security measures are enabled, you can access the system only after you enter the  
correct password(s). For example:  
• Enable the keyboard lockout timer so that the server requires a password to  
reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time out period.1 to 120  
minutes.  
• Set and enable a supervisor password.  
• Set and enable a user password.  
• Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use of  
the front 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.  
• Disable access to the boot sector of the operating system hard disk drive.  
Using Passwords  
You can set the user password, the supervisor password, or both passwords. If only  
the user password is set, you:  
• Must enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.  
• Must enter the user password to boot the server if Password on Boot is  
enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.  
• Must enter the user password to exit secure mode.  
If only the supervisor password is set, you:  
• Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU.  
• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is  
enabled in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.  
• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.  
If both passwords are set, you:  
22  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup or the SSU. However, you  
will not be able to change many of the options.  
• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup or the  
SSU and have access to all of the options.  
• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled  
in either the BIOS Setup or SSU.  
• May enter either password to exit secure mode.  
Secure Mode  
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the SSU. When secure mode  
is in effect:  
• You can boot the server and the operating system will run, but you must enter  
the user password to use the keyboard or mouse.  
• You cannot turn off system power or reset the server from the front panel  
switches.  
Secure mode has no effect on functions enabled via remote server management or  
power control via the watchdog timer.  
Taking the server out of secure mode does not change the state of system power.  
That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the  
system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the  
front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the  
server will be powered off.  
Summary of Software Security Features  
The table below lists the software security features and describes what protection  
each offers. In general, to enable or set the features listed here, you must run the  
SSU and go to the Security Subsystem Group, menu. The table also refers to other  
SSU menus and to the Setup utility.

The server can boot and run the operating system, but mouse and  
keyboard input is not accepted until the user password is entered.  
At boot time, if a CD is detected in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette in drive  
A, the system prompts for a password. When the password is entered, the  
server boots from CD or diskette and disables the secure mode.  
If there is no CD in the CD-ROM drive or diskette in drive A, the server  
boots from drive C and automatically goes into secure mode. All enabled  
secure mode features go into effect at boot time.

Using this connector in the SX220 server may produce unreliable operation  
of the IDE device and may result in data loss.  
If you install a SCSI tape drive, you can connect it one of two ways:  
• To the on-board SCSI controller. This requires that you connect the backplane  
to an add-in RAID or SCSI controller.  
• To an add-in SCSI controller board. This allows you to leave the backplane  
connected to the on-board SCSI controller.  
Mounting the Tape Drive  
1. Remove the chassis cover.  
2. Remove the blank panel from the bay.  
3. Push on the retainer clip at the rear of the carrier (A) to release it from the  
chassis.  
4. Remove the carrier by sliding it toward the front of the chassis.  
5. Set any jumpers and/or switches on your tape drive (B) according to the drive  
manufacturer’s instructions.  
6. Install the tape drive in the carrier.  
7. Insert the carrier/drive assembly in the empty bay and slide it toward the rear of  
the chassis until the retainer clip latches.

CAUTION!  
Carefully route cables to minimise airflow blockage and cooling problems.  
Suggested Tape Drive Cabling  
A peripheral power cable (4-pin connector) is included in the cable output from the  
power supply.  
Route and connect to the tape drive before the SCSI cable is installed.  
Connecting to the On-board SCSI Controller  
1. Obtain a SCSI cable with an unfolded length of 26-inches.  
2. Flatten the cable and fold it in half beginning about 1-inch from the tape drive end  
(see Figure 29, A). Continue folding for a distance of about 10-inches.  
3. Fold the cable in half again and secure with electrical tape.  
4. Connect the cable to the tape drive (see Figure 30, A) and carefully route the  
folded and taped section on the chassis floor between the fan assembly (C) and  
the tape drive (A).  
5. Connect the cable to the on-board SCSI controller at connector (B).  
Because the on-board SCSI controller is now unavailable, you will need to install a  
PCI add-in card that provides RAID or SCSI control and connect it to the backplane.

5. Installing the System in a Rack  
CAUTION!  
ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored to an  
unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are  
extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The equipment rack must be installed  
according to the manufacturer's instructions. You must also consider the weight of  
any other device installed in the rack.  
MAIN AC POWER DISCONNECT: You are responsible for installing an AC power  
disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible,  
and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).  
GROUNDING THE RACK INSTALLATION: To avoid the potential for an electrical  
shock hazard, you must include a third wire safety grounding conductor with the rack  
installation. If server power cords are plugged into AC outlets that are part of the  
rack, then you must provide proper grounding for the rack itself. If server power  
cords are plugged into wall AC outlets, the safety grounding conductor in each power  
cord provides proper grounding only for the server. You must provide additional,  
proper grounding for the rack and other devices installed in it.  
OVER CURRENT PROTECTION: The server is designed for an AC line voltage  
source with up to 20 amperes of over current protection. If the power system for the  
equipment rack is installed on a branch circuit with more than 20 amperes of  
protection, you must provide supplemental protection for the server. If more than one  
server is installed in the rack, the power source for each server must be from a  
separate branch circuit.  
CAUTION!  
Temperature: The operating temperature of the server, when installed in an  
equipment rack, must not go below 5 °C (41 °F) or rise above 35 °C (95 °F). Extreme  
fluctuations in temperature can cause a variety of problems in your server.  
Ventilation: The equipment rack must provide sufficient airflow to the front of the  
server to maintain proper cooling. It must also include ventilation sufficient to exhaust  
a maximum of 1840 Btu's per hour for a fully loaded SX220 server.  
It is important to note that this is the maximum, and a minimum or typical system  
could be much less. You may want to calculate the BTU/hr more accurately for your  
configuration. An extra 500 BTU/hr over many systems would translate into a large  
error calculating air conditioning capacity.

6. Configuration Software and Utility  
This chapter describes the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and server configuration  
utilities. The table below briefly describes the utilities.  
Table 5: configuration Utilities  
Utility  
Description and brief procedure  
BIOS Setup  
Use for system configuration of onboard resources, setting boot device  
priority, or setting system security options.  
You can move the CMOS jumper on the system board from the default  
setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this will allow most  
system configurations to boot.  
Changing Boot Device Priority  
Use this option to change the boot device priority temporarily  
permanently.  
Adaptec SCSISelect † Utility  
Use to configure or view the settings of the SCSI host adapters and  
onboard SCSI devices in the system.  
Direct Platform Control (DPC)  
Console  
Use to access and monitor the server remotely.  
System Setup Utility (SSU) And  
Client System Setup Utility (CSSU)  
Use for viewing and configuring server management options, viewing  
the system event log (SEL), setting boot device priority, or setting  
system security options.  
The SSU can run either from the configuration software CD or from a set  
of bootable diskettes. You can create the diskettes from the CD.  
The CSSU is run from the service partition via the DPC console. It  
provides the same functionality as the SSU, but from a remote console.  
Information entered via the SSU/CSSU overrides information entered  
via BIOS Setup.  
FRU/SDR Load Utility  
Use to update the Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Record  
(SDR) flash components.  
NOTE: You must run the FRU/SDR Load utility whenever BMC is  
updated or if you change your processors.  
BIOS Update Utility  
Firmware Update Utility  
Use to update the BIOS or recover from a corrupted BIOS update.  
Use to update BMC flash ROM or other firmware.  
Hot Keys  
Use the keyboard’s numeric pad to enter numbers and symbols.

Power-On Self-Test (POST)  
Each time you turn on the system, POST starts running. POST checks the server  
board, processor, memory, keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During  
the memory test, POST displays the amount of memory that it is able to access and  
test. The length of time needed to test memory depends on the amount of memory  
installed. POST is stored in flash memory.  
1. Turn on your video monitor and server. After a few seconds POST begins to run.  
2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages appear:  
Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP  
3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an operating system  
loaded, the above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process  
continues, and the system beeps once. Then this message appears:  
Operating system not found  
If you do not press <F2> and DO have an operating system loaded, the boot  
process continues, and this message appears:  
Press <Ctrl><A> to enter SCSI Utility  
4. Press <Ctrl+A> if there are SCSI devices installed. When the utility opens, follow  
the displayed instructions to configure the onboard SCSI host adapter settings  
and to run the SCSI utilities. If you do not enter the SCSI utility, the boot process  
continues.  
5. Press <Esc> during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. From  
this menu you can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup.  
After POST completes, the system beeps once.  
What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating  
system loaded and if so, which one.  
If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a  
fatal system error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message  
on the video display screen, it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message  
appears.  
Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is  
useful for your service representative. For a listing of beep codes and error  
messages that POST can generate, see the “Solving Problems” chapter in this  
manual.

Using BIOS Setup  
This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the server  
configuration defaults. You can run Setup with or without an operating system being  
present. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery backed CMOS; the  
rest of the values are stored in flash memory. The values take effect when you boot  
the server. POST uses these values to configure the hardware; if the values and the  
actual hardware do not agree, POST generates an error message. You must then  
run Setup to specify the correct configuration.  
Record you Setup Settings  
If the default values ever need to be restored (after a CMOS clear, for example), you  
must run Setup again. Referring to the worksheets could make your task easier.  
If You Cannot Access BIOS Setup  
If the diskette drive is misconfigured so that you cannot access it to run a utility from  
a diskette, you may need to clear CMOS memory. You will need to open the server,  
change a jumper setting, use Setup to check and set diskette drive options, and  
change the jumper back. For a step-by-step procedure, see Chapter 9, under the  
heading, “CMOS Jumper.”

Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console  
Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console is part of Intel Server Control. Direct Platform  
Control is a server management application that supports remote system  
management via LAN, or an RS-232 serial connection to the server COM2 port over  
a modem or a direct serial cable. The Direct Platform Control Console provides the  
ability for remote management of Intel servers via modem or LAN with a capability to  
run DOS-based programs.

DPC console runs on a client workstation. It communicates with a server by:  
• Accessing the server management capabilities of the on-board NIC  
• A Windows 2000 compatible modem.  
• An RS-232 connection to the server COM2 port.  
DPC Console is independent of the server operating system.  
Even when the server is off, you can use DPC Console to verify the state of a server  
or diagnose a problem with the server hardware. DPC console features allow you to:  
• Establish connection to remote servers  
• Server Control: power on, power off, and reset operations  
• Retrieve and display entries in the System Event Log (SEL)  
• Retrieve and display Sensor Data Records (SDR)  
• Retrieve and display Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information  
• Retrieve and display current Remote Sensor Access (RSA) information  
• Access a phonebook for remote connection management  
• Remote control of the service partition  
• File transfer from / to the server  
DPC Console Modes of Operation  
There are three DPC console modes of operation:  
• EMP mode. Access the DPC console features using the DPC console  
window menus and/or toolbar. Active when a connection is established  
through the EMP port.  
• DPC over LAN mode. Access the DPC console features using the DPC  
console window menus and/or toolbar. Active when a connection is  
established through the LAN.  
• Re-direct mode.  
Active when the server is running BIOS console  
redirection. In this mode, the DPC console launches a separate window.  
The window operates as an ANSI terminal and communicates with the  
server through the port. Character-based commands you type in the DPC

Console go directly to the server, and the DPC Console displays the text  
that you would normally see on the server console.  
To use this mode, you must configure the Console Redirection option of  
BIOS Setup for Re-direct mode. Enabling Console Redirection requires that  
the Boot Time Diagnostics Screen be Enabled in BIOS Setup. If the  
redirection window does not display information, the Console Redirection is  
either incorrectly configured or disabled, the EMP is disabled in BIOS Setup,  
or the server is in protected mode. For DPC to function, the server must  
NOT be in graphics mode.  
If the DPC console fails to connect in EMP within 10 seconds and the server  
can operate in Re-direct mode, a prompt is displayed with the option to  
switch to Re-direct mode.  
• Service Partition mode. Entered when the server reboots from the service  
partition and the DPC Console has successfully connected to the server  
through a modem. This mode allows running of DOS-based programs that  
are stored on the service partition and transferring of files.  
Running the DPC Console  
For more information about setting up and running the DPC Console, see the  
document named "ENUDPCUG.pdf.” This document is in the Manuals\SrvMgmt  
directory on the server software kit accompanying the SCB2 server board.  
Using the System Setup Utility  
The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the SCB2 System Resource CD-ROM  
shipped with the server board. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI)  
over an extensible framework for server configuration. For the SCB2 systems, the  
SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities:  
• Allows configuration of Sever Management options  
• Allows you to specify boot device order and system security options  
• Permits viewing and clearing of the system’s critical event log  
• Allows troubleshooting of the server when the OS is not operational  
• Allows you to view the system’s Sensor Data Records and Field  
Replaceable Unit information  
72  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
What You Need to Do  
You can run the SSU directly from the SCB2 Server Software Kit CD-ROM by  
booting the server system to the CD and selecting “Utilities” or from a set of DOS  
diskettes.  
If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU  
diskettes from the SCB2 Resource CD-ROM by booting to the CD-ROM and  
selecting “Create Diskettes.”  
Alternatively, if you have a Windows based  
workstation; you can insert the CD into that system and create diskettes from the  
“Utilities” menu of the graphical user interface.  
If your diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, you must use BIOS Setup  
to enable it so that you can use the SSU. If necessary, you can disable the drive  
after you exit the SSU. Information entered using the SSU overrides any entered  
using BIOS Setup.  
Running the SSU  
Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server  
boots directly from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file automatically runs. If it boots  
from a different media, you can start the SSU manually or by another application.  
When the SSU starts in the local execution mode (the default mode), the SSU  
accepts input from the keyboard and/or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA based  
Graphical User Interface (GUI) on the primary monitor.  
The SSU runs from writable, non-writable, removable, and non-removable media. If  
you run the SSU from non-writable media, you cannot save user preference settings  
(such as screen colours).  
®
The SSU supports the ROM-DOS V6.22 operating system. It may run on other  
ROM-DOS-compatible operating systems but they are not supported. The SSU will  
not operate from a “DOS box” running under an operating system such as Windows.  
Starting the SSU  
SSU consists of a collection of task oriented modules plugged into a common  
framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework  
provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting  
customisation information. For full functionality, the SSU requires the availability of  
the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files.  
1. Turn on your video monitor and your system.  
2. There are two ways to start the SSU:  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
73  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
a. After creating set of three SSU diskettes from the CD: Insert the first SSU  
diskette in drive A, and press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your  
server from the diskette.  
b. Directly from the SCB2 Server Software Kit CD-ROM: Insert the CD into your  
CD-ROM drive and press the reset button or <Ctrl-Alt-Del> to reboot. When  
prompted to do so, press <F2> to enter BIOS Setup. From the Boot Menu,  
select the Boot Device Priority option and then select CD-ROM as your  
primary boot device. Save those settings and exit BIOS Setup. The server  
will boot from the CD-ROM and display a menu of options. Follow the  
instructions in the menu to start the SSU.  
3. When the SSU title appears on the screen, press <Enter> to continue.  
4. The mouse driver loads if it is available; press <Enter> to continue.  
5. This message appears:  
Please wait while the Application Framework loads....  
6. When the main window of the SSU appears, you can customise your interface  
before continuing. (See Figure 42).  
Figure 42: System Setup Utility Main Window  
Customising the SSU  
The SSU lets you customise your interface 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. There are four user customisable settings:  
74  
Viglen SX220 User Guide

• Colour - this button lets you change the default colors associated with  
different items on the screen with predefined color combinations. The color  
changes are instantaneous.  
• Mode - this button lets you set the desired expertise level.  
novice  
intermediate  
expert  
The expertise level determines which tasks are visible in the Available  
Tasks section and what actions each task performs. For a new mode  
setting to take effect, you must exit the SSU and restart it.  
• Language - this button lets you change the strings in the SSU to strings of  
the appropriate language. For a new language setting to take effect, you  
must exit the SSU and restart it.  
• Other - this button lets you change other miscellaneous options in the SSU.  
The changes take effect immediately.  
To change the interface default values:  
• Use the mouse to click on the proper button in the Preferences section of  
the SSU Main window.  
OR  
• Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight the desired button, and press the  
spacebar or <Enter>.  
OR  
• Access the menu bar with the mouse or hot keys (Alt + underlined letter).  
NOTE: If you run the SSU from non-writable media (like a CD-ROM), these  
preferences will be lost when you exit the SSU.  
Launching a Task  
It is possible to have many tasks open at the same time, although some tasks may  
require complete control to avoid possible conflicts. The tasks achieve complete  
control by keeping the task as the center of operation until you close the task  
window.  
To launch a task:  
• In the SSU Main window, double click on the task name under Available  
Tasks to display the main window for the selected task.

Platform Event Paging  
With Platform Event Paging (PEP), your server can automatically dial up a paging  
service and page you when a server management related event occurs. Platform  
events include temperature out-of-range, voltage out-of-range, chassis intrusion, and  
fan failure.  
If PEP is enabled and the BMC receives or detects a new event, it automatically  
sends a page. It can send a page if the processors are down or if the system  
software is unavailable.  
PEP needs an external modem connected to the server's EMP (Emergency  
Management Port) serial connection. This is typically the COM2 serial connector.  
Using Platform Event Paging  
1. From the SSU main window, launch the Platform Event Manager Add-in (PEM).  
2. In the PEM dialog box, click the Configure PEP button.  
3. In the PEP dialog box, check the Enable PEP to box.  
4. Enter your page string in the Paging String field. This consists of the following:  
• The attention command for your modem (generally ATDT).  
• The number of your paging service, several commas (each comma is a 1-  
second pause).  
• The number/message you wish to appear on your pager.  
• The hang up command for your modem (generally ATH).  
You will need to experiment with the timing to ensure you are paged properly.  
Select Send Alert form the Options menu to generate a test page.  
5. Set the time between pages with the Blackout Period In Minutes field. If you want  
to be paged every five minutes, set it to 5. The range is from 0 to 10 minutes.  
6. If you wish to filter events so that only certain events will originate a page, select  
Configure Event Actions from the Options menu. This will bring up the Platform  
Event Action dialog.  
7. Save all the changes made by clicking on the Save button. Saving writes your  
current configuration to nonvolatile storage where it will be available to the  
system after every reboot.

Software Updates  
Your system comes with preinstalled system BIOS and BMC firmware. When  
necessary, updates will be available for download from the Viglen support website.  
The updates are available in two forms:  
• A software update package (SUP) containing all three updates  
• Individual files, one for each update, that are manually executed  
With either form, bootable diskettes must be created.  
Creating a Bootable Diskette  
Each update diskette created must be made bootable with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22 or  
MS-DOS Ver. 6.22.  
NOTE: It is recommended that the target system be booted with the Resource CD  
that accompanied the product. However, the process for making the  
diskettes is the same for all the compatible versions of DOS. ROM-DOS  
Ver. 6.22 is included on the Resource CD.  
1. Insert and boot to the Resource CD.  
2. Exit from the menu to a DOS prompt.  
3. Insert a diskette into the floppy drive.  
4. At the DOS prompt, for an unformatted diskette, type:  
format a:/s  
Or, for a formatted diskette, type:  
sys a:  
5. Press <Enter  
Software Update Package  
A Software Update Package (SUP) contains all the necessary files to perform BIOS,  
BMC, FRU/SDR, or other software updates.

5. Record the current BIOS settings.  
a. Boot the computer and press <F2> when you see the splash screen.  
b. Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program.  
NOTE: Be sure to record the current custom BIOS settings. They will be cleared and  
reset to their default values during the BIOS update portion of the operation.  
You will need these settings to configure your computer at the end of the  
update procedure. To record the current custom settings, boot the computer  
and press <F2> when you see the splash screen. Write down the current  
custom settings in the BIOS Setup program  
Extraction  
Double click the executable file you downloaded. Read the License Agreement,  
select "I Agree" to accept the terms and conditions or select "Cancel" to cancel the  
installation.  
During the extraction process, you will be prompted to insert each of the three  
labelled diskettes. Follow the prompts until the process is completed. When  
completed, you will have three diskettes that can be used to update the BIOS, the  
BMC firmware, and the FRU/SDR records.  
Updating  
NOTE: Do not turn off the system during the update process.  
Apply the updates in order by booting from each floppy diskette beginning with Disk  
1.  
1. Disk 1 - SCB2 BIOS update—Choose option 1 to update the system BIOS. The  
system will automatically reboot following completion.

FRU/SDR Load Utility Description  
The Field Replacement Unit (FRU) and Sensor Data Record (SDR) load utility is a  
DOS-based program used to update the server management subsystem’s product  
level FRU and SDR non-volatile storage components (EEPROMs). The utility:  
• Discovers the product configuration based on instructions in a master  
configuration file  
• Displays the FRU information  
• Updates the EEPROM associated with the Baseboard Management  
Controller (BMC) that holds the SDR and FRU area  
• Generically handles FRU devices that might not be associated with the BMC  
What You Need to Do  
Either run the utility directly from the Resource CD or from diskettes created  
from the CD.  
If you run the FRU/SDR Load Utility from a diskette, copy the utility from the CD.  
Follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file.  
If the diskette drive is disabled, or improperly configured, use BIOS Setup to enable  
it. If necessary, disable the drive after you are done with the FRU/SDR utility.  
How You Use the FRU/SDR Load Utility  
The utility:  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
101  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• Is compatible with ROM-DOS Ver. 6.22, MS-DOS Ver. 6.22 (and later  
versions), Windows 95 DOS, and Windows 98 DOS  
• Accepts CFG, SDR, and FRU load files (the executable file for the utility is  
FRU/SDR.exe)  
• Requires the following supporting files:  
One or more .fru files describing the system’s field replaceable units  
A .cfg file describing the system configuration  
An .sdr file describing the sensors in the system  
Command Line Format  
If you are not performing an automated update using a Software Update Package  
(SUP), the basic command line format is:  
FRU/SDR [-?] [-h] [-d {fru, sdr}] [-cfg filename.cfg] [-fru filename.fru]  
Table 35: Command Line Format  
Command  
-? or –h  
-d {fru, sdr}  
-cfg  
Description  
Displays usage information.  
Displays requested area only.  
Uses custom CFG file.  
filename.cfg  
-p  
Pause between blocks of data.  
Parsing the Command Line  
The FRU/SDR 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 cause an error message and exit the program. You can use  
either a slash (/) or a minus sign (-) to specify command line options. Use the -p and  
flags with any of the other options.  
Displaying a Given Area  
When the utility is run with the -d FRU or -d SDR command line flag, information  
about each area is read from memory and printed on the screen. 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.  
Using Specified CFG File  
Run the utility with the command line parameter of -cfg filename.cfg. The filename  
can be any DOS-accepted, eight-character filename string. The utility loads the  
102  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
specified CFG file and uses the entries in that file to probe the hardware and to  
select the proper SDRs to load into non-volatile storage.  
Displaying Utility Title and Version  
The utility displays its title:  
FRU & SDR Load Utility, Version Y.Y, Revision X.XX where Y.Y is the version  
number and X.XX is the revision number for the utility.  
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 non-volatile 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  
With a configuration file, the utility might prompt you for FRU information.  
Filtering Records from the SDR File  
The MASTER.SDR file has all the possible SDRs for the system. You might need to  
filter these records based on the current product configuration. The configuration file  
directs the filtering of the SDRs.  
Updating the SDR Non-volatile Storage Area  
After the utility validates the header area of the supplied SDR file, it updates the SDR  
repository area. Before programming, the utility clears the SDR repository area.  
The utility filters all tagged SDRs depending on the product configuration set in the  
configuration file. Untagged SDRs come automatically programmed. The utility also  
copies all written SDRs to the SDR.TMP file; it contains an image of what was  
loaded. The TMP file is also useful for debugging the server.  
Updating FRU Non-volatile Storage Area  
After the configuration is determined, the utility updates the FRU non-volatile storage  
area. First, it verifies the common header area and checksum from the specified  
FRU file. The internal use area reads out of the specified .FRU file then  
programmed into the non-volatile storage. The chassis area reads out of the  
specified .FRU file. Finally, it reads the product area out of the specified FRU file,  
then the area programs into the FRU non-volatile storage. All areas write to the  
FRU.TMP file.

About Intel Server Control  
NOTE: This section describes the Intel Server Control (ISC) server-management  
package.  
Introducing Intel Server Control  
Intel Server Control (ISC) is a package that provides tools to manage remote  
servers. The components of ISC are described in the following paragraphs.  
Intel Server Control Components  
The following components are part of Intel Server Control:  
Intel Server Control Console: The Intel Server Control Console is a management  
console that provides basic server management functions. It allows you to run  
Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC), Direct Platform Control (DPC), DMI Explorer,  
Client System Setup Utility (CSSU), and Remote Diagnostics.  
The ISC Console will run by itself, within a web browser or under Microsoft  
Management Console. The ISC Console provides you with the ability to discover  
servers with ISC management tools.  
The ISC Console is installed whenever one of the other components is installed.  
See Using the Intel Server Control Console (Page 105) for information about the  
Console interface.  
Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC): Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC)  
provides real-time monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors. PIC  
communicates via a LAN connection to the Platform Instrumentation (PI) software on  
the Server, using standard DMI/RPC protocols.  
See Platform Instrumentation Control (Page 105) for summary information, and click  
the Help button in the PIC Console for detailed information.  
Direct Platform Control: Direct Platform Control is a server management tools that  
gives you access to a remote server when it is online or offline, when the operating  
system is hung, or when it’s powered off. When you receive notice that a server has  
malfunctioned (via a page, for example), you can use DPC to investigate the cause  
of the alert, to initiate corrective action, and to restart the server into normal  
operation.  
DPC communicates with the Emergency Management Port (EMP) on the server.  
The access path is via modem or via direct serial connection.  
Remote Diagnostics: Remote Diagnostics consists of Modular Test Architecture  
(MTA) diagnostic tests on the managed server’s Service Partition. These tests can  
Viglen SX220 User Guide

be used to validate and isolate problems in the server. The tests are controlled via a  
text-based console redirected to the client workstation from DPC.  
See Direct Platform Control and Remote Diagnostics (Page 105) for summary  
information, and click the Help button in the DPC Console for detailed information.  
Client System Setup Utility: The Client System Setup Utility allows you to run the  
System Setup Utility for a managed server from a remote location. It communicates  
via a channel opened by DPC.  
See Client System Setup Utility (Page 106) for summary information, and click the  
Help button in the Client SSU for detailed information.  
DMI Explorer: DMI Explorer shows attribute values for each DMI-compliant  
component, and manage third-party DMI-compliant components. ISC installs the  
DMI Explorer browser in the ISC Console.  
See DMI Explorer (Page X) for summary information.

The tools used for the various server management tasks are described below, under  
Server Management Tools. See Management Consoles later in this chapter for a  
description of the available management consoles. The different methods for  
communicating with a managed server are described in Connecting to a Remote  
Server.  
Server Management Tools  
There are several tools available for server management, each for a different  
purpose or for use in a different condition. Tools are sometimes used together, or in  
sequence, to perform server management tasks.  
The available tools for remote server management, described in the following  
paragraphs, include:  
Platform Instrumentation Control  
Direct Platform Control  
Client System Setup Utility  
The Service Partition  
Remote Diagnostics  
DMI Explorer  
Platform Instrumentation Control  
Platform Instrumentation Control (PIC) works with Microsoft Windows NT, NetWare,  
and UnixWare server systems, and provides real-time monitoring and alerting for  
server hardware sensors. PIC communicates via a LAN connection to the Platform  
Instrumentation (PI) on the Server, using standard DMI/RPC protocols.  
ISC installs Platform Instrumentation on the managed server and console software  
on a client workstation. On a Windows NT network, it is possible to install both parts  
Viglen SX220 User Guide

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
of the software on the same server. It is also possible to install Platform  
Instrumentation on multiple servers and Console software on multiple clients.  
PIC integrates into the enterprise and workgroup management consoles, as well as  
into the Intel Server Control Console. PIC relies on the management console to  
discover servers over the LAN. It also forwards changes in the server state to the  
management consoles for appropriate alert handling.  
What is Platform Instrumentation?  
Platform Instrumentation consists of the server-resident software used to monitor  
and control the server when the operating system is online. The instrumentation  
retrieves data from the operating system as well as from the Platform Management  
Technology (hardware, firmware and BIOS), and communicates with management  
tools with Desktop Management Interface 2.0 (DMI 2.0) commands.  
Platform Instrumentation also provides instrumentation data for the servers  
connected through the Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB). This allows PIC  
to use the Platform Instrumentation on one server to access the Platform  
Management Technology on another server/chassis. This is useful when the target  
server is not fully operational (such as when the OS is down) and cannot be reached  
directly by the PIC, or when the target server is running an OS that is not supported  
by the Platform Instrumentation.  
Any change in the server state generates a DMI indication. A Local Response Agent  
responds by taking actions such as:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Powering off the server.  
Resetting the server.  
Shutting down the server.  
Generating an NMI.  
Beeping the system speaker.  
Logging to a disk.  
Broadcasting a message on the network.  
Displaying a message on the system console.  
Paging the administrator.  
You can use Platform Instrumentation Control to:  
•

SCSI controller status and LAN adapter status.  
You can use PIC to track system status and manage hardware conditions, such as:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Temperature.  
Voltage.  
Cooling fan status.  
Chassis intrusion.  
ECC memory.  
Processor status.  
Power supply status.  
Direct Platform Control  
Direct Platform Control is a server management tool that gives you access to a  
remote server when it is online or offline, when the operating system is hung, or  
when it’s powered off. When you receive notice that a server has malfunctioned (via  
a page, for example), you can use DPC to investigate the cause of the alert, to  
initiate corrective action, and to restart the server into normal operation.  
DPC communicates with the Emergency Management Port (EMP) on the server.  
The access path is via modem or via direct serial connection. DPC also works via a  
redirected text-based console.  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
109  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Since DPC does not communicate with the server-resident operating system, it can  
be used to manage the server even if the server's operating system and primary  
processors are not working. Because the server's emergency management  
hardware works on 5V standby power, DPC can be used to communicate with and  
control a powered down server.  
DPC integrates into a variety of management consoles, as well as the ISC Console.  
DPC relies on the management console or ISC Console to discover servers over the  
LAN.  
Using DPC, you can:  
•
•
•
Reboot a server.  
Restart a server that’s powered off.  
View the System Event Log (SEL) for information about recent server  
activity.  
•
View Sensor Data Records (SDRs) for information about sensor  
characteristics.  
•
•
Review Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) inventories.  
Run Remote Diagnostics on a managed server's Service Partition.  
Client System Setup Utility  
Use the Client SSU when you need to:  
•
View and modify the assignment of resources (ports, memory, IRQ’s,  
DMA).  
•
•
•
•
•
•
Modify the server’s boot device order or security settings.  
Change the server configuration settings.  
Save the server configuration.  
View or clear the System Event Log (SEL).  
View Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information.  
View the Sensor Data Record (SDR) table.  
To specify a system configuration, SSU uses the information provided by:  
The baseboard CFG file  
•

•
Configuration registers  
The Client SSU stores configuration values in flash memory. These values take  
effect when you boot the server.  
Start a Client SSU session, by requesting a service boot through the Emergency  
Management Port. As the service environment boots, a network stack and agent are  
started and communication switches to the required protocol.  
The Client SSU integrates into the ISC Console and enterprise management  
consoles.  
The Service Partition and Remote Diagnostics  
Remote Diagnostics are available on a service partition on a hard drive on the  
managed server.  
To use the remote diagnostics, a system manager needs to connect to the server  
with Direct Platform Control then reboot to the service partition. After the server  
reboots, the remote diagnostics become available and the system manager can use  
them for testing server hardware.  
What is the Service Partition?  
Both the Client System Setup Utility and Remote Diagnostics rely on the server’s  
Service Partition.  
The Service Partition is installed on a separate file system partition, and includes the  
ROM-DOS operating system, SSU and Diagnostics agents/tests. It provides a  
standard communication stack that can be used over a modem or a serial port to  
provide remote control of the SSU, diagnostics or any other compatible utility.  
The Service Partition may also be used with a redirected text-based console.  
Once the utilities and the tests are completed on the Service Partition, the system  
can be rebooted. The BIOS reverts back to normal boot order after the reboot.  
Remote Diagnostics  
Remote Diagnostics consists of Modular Test Architecture (MTA) diagnostic tests  
resident on the Service Partition. The tests can be controlled via a menu maintained  
on the Service Partition and a text-based console redirected to the client workstation.  
DMI Explorer  
You can use DMI Explorer to view attribute values for each DMI-compliant  
component, and to manage third-party DMI-compliant components.

The DMI Explorer can be installed as a tool available from the ISC Console. Select  
“Install DMI Explorer” when you are installing the ISC software.  
Management Consoles  
Server management tools such as Platform Instrumentation Control, Direct Platform  
Control, and the Client System Setup Utility run as components within a server  
management console. Server management consoles provide the basic functions of  
establishing connections with remote systems, displaying server or network status,  
and launching the tool applications.  
Server management consoles range from basic versions that are used with single  
servers to complex versions that are used with complex enterprise-wide network  
systems.  
Server Management Consoles  
Server Managers are used in small-office environments to manage a single server or  
a small number of servers. Server Managers provide the tools to find servers on a  
network (“discovery”), view multiple servers, receive LAN-based alerts from the  
remote servers, and control the security of the server.  
The Intel Server Control Console provides a straightforward and inexpensive Server  
Management Console when used by itself, within an ActiveX-enabled web browser,  
or Microsoft Management Console.  
Workgroup Management Consoles  
Workgroup Management Consoles are used in small business or department  
environments to manage a network of servers. They may include auto discovery of  
servers, enhanced security, paging alerts, and report generation.  
Intel LANDesk ® Server Manager (LDSM) is a Workgroup Management Console. To  
use the ISC tool modules with LDSM, select the LDSM Integration Agent when you  
are installing the ISC software. When LDSM establishes a connection with a server  
that is running the ISC Platform Instrumentation software, a “Intel Server Control”  
launch point is added to the snap-in branch of the LDSM navigation tree. LDSM may  
also add “Intel Server Control” as an option in the “Snap-In” branch, depending upon  
the version of LDSM.  
Enterprise Management Consoles  
Enterprise Management Consoles are used in an enterprise-wide environment to  
manage a complex organisation of networks. They may include performance  
monitoring, load balancing, optimisation, and traffic analysis.  
HP OpenView NNM and CA Unicenter TNG are enterprise management consoles.  
To use the ISC tool modules with an enterprise management console, select the  
appropriate Integration Agent when you are installing the ISC software.

OpenView  
The HP OpenView Network Node Manager Console automatically detects servers  
running the ISC Platform Instrumentation software. ISC-enabled servers display on  
the network map, and an “Intel Server Control” applet is added as an option in the  
Tools menu.  
Unicenter TNG  
Unicenter TNG automatically detects servers running the ISC Platform  
Instrumentation software if the ISC to discovery service is enabled. The service can  
be started either from the Auto Discovery dialog or from the Windows NT Services  
applet. The discovery service creates a new “Intel Server Control” object for each  
ISC-enabled server. The ISC objects display under “ISC World View.”  
Connecting to a Remote Server  
There are several methods for connecting to a server for management. A key to  
effective management is to configure your system with methods that will allow you to  
communicate with the server in conditions ranging from fully functional to powered-  
off. The available connections are:  
•
•
•
•
Telephone  
Local Area Network (LAN)  
Intelligent Chassis Management Bus (ICMB)  
Local Direct  
The connection methods are described in the following paragraphs.  
Telephone  
A telephone/modem connection may be used to communicate with a managed  
server.  
A telephone connection is particularly useful when the managed server is not  
communicating with the local area network, such as when the server is hung or  
powered-off.  
Using a telephone line to connect to an unpowered server requires that a battery-  
backed-up management card be installed in the server.  
From the Console  
With a modem installed in both the client console system and the remote server, you  
can connect to the server using DPC or Client SSU.  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
113  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Using the modem connection via the Direct Platform Control (DPC), you can:  
•
•
Reset the remote server’s power.  
Reboot the remote server using the service partition.  
NOTE: Direct Platform Control is an optional application that may not be installed on  
this system. Look for the DPC icon in the right-hand pane of the ISC  
Console. To install DPC, rerun the installation program on the ISC CD-ROM.  
From the Remote Server  
The remote server may be set up to send messages to your console via the  
telephone connection.  
Setting Up a Telephone Connection  
Using a telephone connection requires:  
•
•
A modem on both the managed server and the client workstation.  
A server with on-board emergency management features.  
In order to use a telephone/modem link to a server, you must configure a serial  
connection on both the managed server and the client workstation.  
LAN  
The “normal” method of communicating with a managed server is via a network  
connection. All of the server-management tools will work via a network connection.  
A network connection is dependent upon the network working, and upon the  
operating system and networking application working correctly on the managed  
server.  
When LAN communication is not possible, use the telephone/modem link to connect  
to the managed server.  
ICMB  
ICMB may be used to communicate with platforms with operating systems or  
architectures that are not otherwise supported by the server management tool  
applications.  
Using the ICMB connection requires that you have a functioning LAN connection to a  
server that is connected via ICMB to the managed server.

Setting Up an ICMB Connection  
An ICMB connection requires:  
•
•
A managed server with an ICMB interface.  
A server with an ICMB interface, connected to the server management  
console.  
See the Product Guide for the managed server for information about setting up an  
ICMB connection.  
Direct  
With a direct connection to the managed server via a serial link, you may use the  
System Setup Utility to set up and configure the server, perform BIOS and other  
firmware upgrades, manage hardware components, and perform off-line diagnostics.  
On servers running Windows NT, you may also use Platform Instrumentation Control  
to monitor server health, configure alerts, set thresholds, and monitor the system  
logs.  
Setting Up a Direct Connection  
The direct connection method is the same as the telephone/modem method  
described previously. Connect the managed server and the workstation client using  
a null-modem serial cable.  
Paging an Administrator  
Platform Event Paging (PEP)  
Platform Event Paging allows the managed server to alert a system administrator of  
critical system failures and state changes, independent of the state of the operating  
system or server management software. Platform Event Paging uses a numeric  
paging service via an external modem.  
Platform Event Paging can generate pages during pre-boot and post-boot states—all  
that is required is that the Baseboard Management Controller is functional and there  
is power to the system.  
The managed server's BIOS setup provides a configuration for the paging string and  
event filters. The paging string contains all the information to connect to the pager  
and the message to send. The Platform Instrumentation Control tool also has a  
dialog for configuring the same paging string.  
When notified by a page, an administrator can use the server management tools to  
remotely view server health/status, system logs, and current configuration;  
reconfigure, reset or power off /on the server; or execute off-line diagnostics to

further analyse the condition of the server. Pages can be configured for the following  
events:  
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Temperature Sensor out of range.  
Voltage Sensor out of range.  
Chassis Intrusion [Security Violation].  
Power Supply Fault.  
BIOS: Uncorrectable ECC error.  
BIOS: POST Error Code.  
FRB Failures.  
Fatal NMI (NMI from source other than Front Panel NMI or Uncorrectable  
ECC Error).  
•
•
•
Watchdog Timer reset, power down, or power cycle.  
System restart (reboot).  
Fan failures.  
Server Event Notifications  
The server’s Local Response Agent can be configured to shut down a server,  
broadcast messages, make a local alarm beep, send a page to an administrator, and  
other actions. Use the Platform Instrumentation Control tool to configure an LRA  
page. See "What is Platform Instrumentation?" for more information.  
Using the Intel Server Control Console  
The Intel Server Control Console is a lightweight management console that provides  
basic server management functions. It allows you to run Platform Instrumentation  
Control (PIC), Direct Platform Control (DPC), DMI Explorer, and Client System Setup  
Utility. The ISC Console will run by itself, within a web browser or under Microsoft  
Management Console. The ISC Console provides you with the ability to:  
•
•
•
Discover ISC servers.  
Discover management tools on discovered servers.  
Launch the management tools on the managed servers.

Server Menu Options  
Discover  
You can discover multiple servers in a single step and add them to the server tree.  
Servers are discovered using a Ping Sweep mechanism supported on servers  
running TCP/IP.  
To discover a range of servers with IP addresses, do the following steps:  
1. On the Button Bar, click the Server->Discover menu selection.  
2. Enter the starting address and ending address to be discovered. The starting  
address will default to the network subnet of the console machine starting at  
address 0. The ending range will default to the value 255, indicating that ISC will  
search the entire network subnet. If you change the default address value, enter  
the full IP address. Wild card characters are not allowed. For all IP addresses,  
the range of values allowed for any IP address segment is between 0 and 255.  
3. Click <OK>.  
The ISC Console will ping each server and test each server for all ISC-registered  
tools. If one or more of the tools is found, then the server will be added to the server  
tree.  
During the discovery process, the status bar indicates ping status, the number of  
servers found, and the number of servers not responding.  
Information on servers discovered by ISC is maintained across machine boots.  
When the ISC Console is run, servers discovered during previous sessions are  
displayed. You do not have to run discovery every time the ISC Console is launched.  
If any of the tools supported by the ISC Console are installed or removed from any  
managed server, the ISC Console discovery process will need to be rerun to update  
the tool list for that server.  
Add  
You can manually add a server with an IP address to the ISC Console server tree.  
To add a server with an IP address, do the following steps:  
1. On the Button Bar, click the Server > Add menu selection.  
2. Choose a radio button for the IP label.  
3. Enter the full address of the desired server. Wild card characters are not allowed.  
For all IP addresses, the range of values allowed for any IP address segment is  
between 0 and 255.

The ISC Console will test the specified server for all ISC-registered tools. If one or  
more of the tools is found, then the server will be added to the server tree.  
Delete/Delete All  
You can manually delete a server from the ISC Console server tree.  
To delete a server, do the following steps:  
1. Select a server or multiple servers from the Windows NT Servers, NetWare  
Servers, UnixWare Servers, or Servers of Unknown Type branch in the server  
tree.  
2. On the Button Bar, click the Server->Delete or Server->Delete All menu selection.  
3. A confirmation dialog will be displayed. Click <OK>.  
ISC will delete the server(s) from the server tree. To restore information about that  
server, you must rediscover the server using Server->Add or Server->Discover.

After the System Has Been Running Correctly  
Problems that occur after the system hardware and software have been running  
correctly often indicate equipment failure. Many situations that are easy to correct,  
however, can also cause such problems.  
Checklist  
ꢀ If you are running the software from a diskette, try a new copy of the software.  
122  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
ꢀ If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, try a different disk to see if  
the problem occurs on all disks.  
ꢀ If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, try running it from a  
diskette. If the software runs correctly, there may be a problem with the copy on  
the hard disk drive. Reinstall the software on the hard disk, and try running it  
again. Make sure all necessary files are installed.  
ꢀ If the problems are intermittent, there may be a loose cable, dirt in the keyboard  
(if keyboard input is incorrect), a marginal power supply, or other random  
component failures.  
ꢀ If you suspect that a transient voltage spike, power outage, or brownout might  
have occurred, reload the software and try running it again. (Symptoms of  
voltage spikes include a flickering video display, unexpected system reboots, and  
the system not responding to user commands.)  
NOTE: Random errors in data files: If you are getting random errors in your data  
files; they may be getting corrupted by voltage spikes on your power line. If  
you are experiencing any of the above symptoms that might indicate voltage  
spikes on the power line, you may want to install a surge suppressor  
between the power outlet and the system power cord.  
More Problem Solving Procedures  
This section provides a more detailed approach to identifying a problem and locating  
its source.  
Preparing the System for Diagnostic Testing  
CAUTION!  
Turn off devices before disconnecting cables: Before disconnecting any  
peripheral cables from the system, turn off the system and any external peripheral  
devices. Failure to do so can cause permanent damage to the system and/or the  
peripheral devices.  
1. Turn off the system and all external peripheral devices. Disconnect all of them  
from the 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  
the system. Turn on the video monitor. Set its brightness and contrast controls  
to at least two thirds of their maximum ranges (see the documentation supplied  
with your video display monitor).  
4. If the operating system normally loads from the hard disk drive, make sure there  
is no diskette in drive A. Otherwise, place a diskette containing the operating  
system files in drive A.  
Viglen SX220 User Guide

5. Turn on the system. If the power LED does not light, see “Power Light Does Not  
Light” on page 125  
6. If errors are encountered, power off the system and remove all add-in cards.  
Monitoring POST  
Verifying Proper Operation of Key System Lights  
As POST determines the system configuration, it tests for the presence of each  
mass storage device installed in the system. As each device is checked, its activity  
light should turn on briefly.  
Check for the following:  
ꢀ Does the diskette drive activity light turn on briefly? If not, see “Diskette Drive  
Activity Light Does Not Light” on page 126.  
ꢀ If a second diskette drive is installed, does its activity light turn on briefly? If not,  
see “Diskette Drive Activity Light Does Not Light” on page 126.  
Confirming Loading of the Operating System  
Once the system boots up, the operating system prompt appears on the screen.  
The prompt varies according to the operating system. If the operating system  
prompt does not appear, see “Initial System Start-up” on page 121.  
Specific Problems and Corrective Actions  
This section provides possible solutions for these specific problems:  
• Power light does not light.  
• There is no beep or an incorrect beep pattern.  
• No characters appear on screen.  
• Characters on the screen appear distorted or incorrect.  
• System cooling fans do not rotate.

Diagnostic LEDs  
To help diagnose POST failures, a set of four bi-colour diagnostic LEDs is located on  
the back edge of the baseboard. Each of the four LEDs can have one of four states:  
Off, Green, Red, or Amber.  
The LED diagnostics feature consists of a hardware decoder and four dual colour  
LEDs. During POST, the LEDs will display all normal Port80 codes representing the  
progress of the BIOS POST. Each postcode will be represented by a combination of  
colours from the 4 LEDs. The LEDs are in pairs of green and red. The post codes  
are broken into two nibbles, an upper and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper  
Viglen SX220 User Guide  
129  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
nibble is represented by a red LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by  
a green LED. If both bits are set in the upper and lower nibble then both red and  
green LEDs are lit, resulting in an amber colour. Likewise, if both bits are clear then  
the red and green LEDs are off.  
During the POST process, each light sequence represents a specific Port-80 POST  
code. If a system should hang during POST, the Diagnostic LEDs will present the  
last test executed before the hang. When reading the lights, the LEDs should be  
observed from the back of the system. The most significant bit (MSB) is the first  
LED on the left, and the least significant bit (LSB) is the last LED on the right.  
NOTE: When comparing a diagnostic LED colour string from the baseboard to those  
listed in the diagnostic LED decoder in the following tables, the LEDs on the  
baseboard should be referenced when viewed by looking into the system  
from the back. Reading the LEDs from left to right, the Hi bit is located on  
the left.

the server board.  
Replacing the Backup Battery  
The lithium battery on the server board powers the real time clock (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. Replace only with the same or  
equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Discard used  
batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.

Current Usage  
NOTE: Both processors pull power from +5V. This may limit the number of drives  
and/or add-in cards you may install.  
As an overall current usage limitation on the power supply, do not exceed a  
combined power output of 195 watts for the +5 and +3.3 volt outputs.  
The PCI slots on the server board are rated at a maximum of 5 amperes per slot.  
The maximum power allowed for each slot is 20 watts at +5 volts. The average  
current usage per slot should not exceed 3.0 amperes per slot; that is, 15 watts.  
The cooling efficiency varies per slot; therefore, ensure that adequate cooling is  
available in the target slot—especially in an expansion slot drawing more than 2.0  
amperes.  
Calculating Power Consumption  
The total combined wattage for the system configuration must be less than the  
output of your power supply. Use the two worksheets in this section to calculate the  
power used by your server boards. For current and voltage requirements of add-in  
boards and peripherals, see your vendor documents.

14. Viglen, EMC and the ‘CE’ mark  
CE Marking  
As we begin the 21st century, European standards are being harmonised across borders. If products comply to  
the same standards in all European countries, product exporting and importing is made simple - paving our way  
to a common market. If you buy a product with a 'CE' mark on it (shown below), on the box, in the manual, or on  
the guarantee - it complies with the currently enforced directive(s).  
Introduction to EMC  
EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) is the term used to describe certain issues with RF (Radio Frequency)  
energy. Electrical items should be designed so they do not interfere with each other through RF emissions. E.g.  
If you turn on your microwave, your television shouldn't display interference if both items are CE marked to the  
EMC directive.  
If emitted RF energy is not kept low, it can interfere with other electrical circuitry - E.g. Cars Automatic Braking  
Systems have been known to activate by themselves while in a strong RF field. As this has obvious  
repercussions ALL electrical products likely to cause RF related problems have to be 'CE' marked from 1st  
January 1996 onwards.  
If a product conforms to the EMC directive, not only should its RF emissions be very low, but its immunity to RF  
energy (and other types) should be high. The apparatus has to resist many 'real world' phenomena such as  
static shocks and mains voltage transients.  
Viglen’s Environment laboratory  
To gain a 'CE' mark, the Viglen computer range has had to undergo many difficult tests to ensure it is  
Electromagnetically Compatible. These are carried out in the in-house 'Environment lab' at Viglen Headquarters.  
We have made every effort to guarantee that each computer leaving our factory complies fully to the correct  
standards. To ensure the computer system maintains compliance throughout its functional life, it is essential you  
follow these guidelines.  
Install the system according to Viglen’s instructions  
If you open up your Viglen System:  
Keep internal cabling in place as supplied.  
Ensure the lid is tightly secured afterwards  
Do not remove drive bay shields unless installing a 'CE' marked peripheral in its place  
The clips or ‘bumps' around the lips of the case increase conductivity - do not remove or damage.  
Do not remove any ferrite rings from the L.E.D cables.  
Only use your Viglen computer with 'CE' marked peripherals  
This system has been tested in accordance with European standards for use in residential and light industrial  
areas-this specifies a 10 meter testing radius for emissions and immunity. If you do experience any adverse  
affects that you think might be related to your computer, try moving it at least 10 meters away from the affected  
item. If you still experience problems, contact Viglen’s Technical Support department who will put you straight  
through to an EMC engineer - s/he will do everything possible to help. If modifications are made to your Viglen  
computer system, it might breach EMC regulations. Viglen take no responsibility (with regards to EMC  
characteristics) of equipment that has been tampered with or modified.
