SKT604 is a 604-pin zero-insertion force (ZIF) socket. The processor(s) interface with the system  
bus at 400 MHz.  
For a complete list of supported processors, see:  
Dual Processor Operation  
The Intel Xeon interface is dual processor (DP) ready. Each processor contains a local  
Intel® Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) section for interrupt handling. When  
two processors are installed, both processors must be of identical revision, core voltage, and  
bus/core speeds.  
Boxed Processor Fan Heat sink  
A processor wind tunnel is supplied with the boxed Intel Xeon processor. After the processor and  
heat sink are installed, install and connect the processor wind tunnel. For proper processor cooling,  
the fan inlet air temperature should be below 45 °C.  
CAUTION  
Clearance is required at each end of the fan heat sink to ensure unimpeded  
airflow for proper cooling. Restricting the airflow through the processor heat  
sink can cause overheating and subsequent failure of the processor.

Memory  
The Server Board SE7500CW2 contains four 184-pin DIMM sockets and provides up to 4 GB of  
memory. Memory is partitioned as two banks of DDR DIMMs, each of which provides 144 bits of  
two-way interleaved memory.  
The Server Board SE7500CW2 supports up to four ECC DDR DIMMs that are compliant with the  
JEDEC DDR 200/266 specification. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including the  
following:  
128 MB  
256 MB  
512 MB  
1 GB  
The minimum supported memory configuration is 256 MB, using two 128 MB DIMMs. The  
maximum configurable memory size is 4 GB using four 1 GB DIMMs.  
NOTE  
The Server Board SE7500CW2 has been designed to support up to 8 GB of  
memory using 2 GB DIMMs. To date, Intel has not been able to complete  
validation testing of 2 GB DIMMs and these parts are not supported. Check  
the following Web site for updates on supported memory:  
tested_memory.htm  
DIMMs must be installed in pairs and must be populated starting with DIMM 1A and 1B (see  
Figure 22 on page 66 for the locations of the DIMM connectors). Although the Server Board  
SE7500CW2 architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of DIMMs between banks, DIMMs  
must be identical within the banks.

ACPI  
The Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)aware operating system can place the  
system into a state where the hard drives spin-down, the system fans stop, and all processing is  
halted. In this state the power supply is still on and the processors still dissipate some power, so the  
power supply fan and processor fans are still running.  
NOTE  
ACPI requires an operating system that supports this feature.  
The Server Board SE7500CW2 supports sleep states S0, S4, and S5. When the server board is  
operating in ACPI mode, the operating system retains control of the system and the operating  
system policy determines the entry methods and wake-up sources for each sleep state. Sleep entry  
and wake-up event capabilities are provided by the hardware but are enabled by the operating  
system. Following is a summary of the supported sleep states:  
S0: Normal running state.  
S4: Hibernate or Save to Disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the  
power button or another wake-up event restores the system state from the disk and resumes  
normal operation. This state assumes that no hardware changes were made to the system while  
it was off.  
S5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chipset is running in this state.  
CAUTION  
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.  
AC Link Mode  
The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that if AC input power is  
lost and then restored, the system returns to one of the following preselected settings:  
Last State (Factory Default Setting)  
Stay Off  
The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility.  
Wake on LAN  
Wake on LAN allows system power to be activated by way of a network or modem. If the system  
power is set to off, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main  
computer to the remote system.

determined by  
setup options.  
Password Protection  
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Once secure mode  
is entered, access to the system is allowed only after the correct password(s) has been entered.  
Both user and supervisor passwords are supported by the BIOS. The user password cannot be set  
unless a supervisor password has been set.  
When set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. Clearing the supervisor  
password also clears the user password. Entering the user password permits modification of the  
time, date, language, user password, and password on boot setup fields; other setup fields can be  
modified only if the supervisor password is entered. The user password also allows the system to  
boot, if secure boot is enabled.  
If a wrong password is entered three times in a row, the BIOS stops validating passwords and the  
BIOS security engine returns a failure for any further password validation attempt. If the user  
enters three wrong passwords in a row during the boot sequence (i.e., when entering Setup), the  
system is placed into a halt state. This feature makes is difficult to break the password by the trial  
and errormethod.

Using Passwords  
If only the supervisor password is set, you:  
Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup.  
Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the  
BIOS Setup.  
Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.  
If both passwords are set, you:  
May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup. However, you will not be able to change  
many of the options.  
Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup and have access to all of  
the options.  
May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the BIOS Setup.  
May enter either password to exit secure mode.  
Password Clear Jumper  
If the user or supervisor password(s) is(are) lost or forgotten, moving the password clear jumper  
into the clearposition clears both passwords. The password clear jumper must be restored to its  
original position before a new password(s) can be set. The password clear jumper is located on  
jumper block J106 pins [3-4] on the Server Board SE7500CW2.

2 Configuration Software and Utilities  
This chapter describes the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and server configuration utilities. Table 3  
below briefly describes the utilities.  
Table 3.  
Utility  
Configuration Utilities  
Description and brief procedure  
Page  
BIOS Setup  
If the system does not have a diskette drive or the drive is disabled or  
misconfigured, use BIOS Setup to enable it.  
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the server board from the default  
setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this position will allow  
most server configurations to boot. Then use the recovery disk to recover.  
BIOS Upgrade  
Utility  
Use to upgrade the BIOS.  
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  
4. 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.  
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 common beep codes and error messages that POST can  
generate, see the Solving Problemschapter in this manual.

Using BIOS Setup Utility  
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options. Use BIOS Setup to change the server  
configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being  
present.  
If You Cannot Access 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 BIOS Setup Utility to check and set diskette drive options, and change the jumper back.  
Starting Setup  
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:  
When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test  
When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the Clear CMOSposition  
(enabled)  
In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:  
Press <F2> to enter SETUP  
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not  
the <F2> prompt:  
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid  
Warning: CMOS time and date not set  
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.  
Setup Menus  
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for information  
purposes, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters.  
Parameters may be changed depending upon the security option chosen. If a value is not  
changeable due to insufficient security privileges (or other reasons), the features value field  
becomes inaccessible.  
The bottom portion of the BIOS Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used for  
navigating the Setup utility. Table 4 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS  
Setup menus.

Upgrading the BIOS  
Preparing for the Upgrade  
Before you upgrade the BIOS, prepare for the upgrade by recording the current BIOS settings,  
obtaining the upgrade utility, and making a copy of the current BIOS.  
Recording the Current BIOS Settings  
1. Boot the computer and press <F2> when you see the message:  
Press <F2> Key if you want to run SETUP  
2. Write down the current settings in the BIOS Setup program.  
NOTE  
Do not skip step 2. You will need these settings to configure your computer  
at the end of the procedure.  
Obtaining the Upgrade Utility  
You can upgrade to a new version of the BIOS using the new BIOS files and the BIOS upgrade  
utility, PHLASH.EXE. You can obtain the BIOS upgrade file and the PHLASH.EXE utility  
through your computer supplier or from the Intel Customer Support Web site:  
NOTE  
Please review the instructions distributed with the upgrade utility before  
attempting a BIOS upgrade.  
This upgrade utility allows you to upgrade the BIOS in flash memory. The following steps explain  
how to upgrade the BIOS.  
Creating a Bootable Diskette  
1. Use a DOS system to create the diskette.  
2. Insert a diskette in diskette drive A.  
3. At the C:\ prompt, for an unformatted diskette, type:  
format a:/s  
or, for a formatted diskette, type:  
sys a:  
4. Press <Enter>.  
42  
Intel Server Board SE7500CW2 Product Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
Creating the BIOS Upgrade Diskette  
The BIOS upgrade file is a compressed self-extracting archive that contains the files you need to  
upgrade the BIOS.  
1. Insert the bootable diskette into the diskette drive.  
2. Extract the contents of the BIOS.EXE file onto the bootable diskette. To do so, simply type the  
file name (with or without the extension) at the a:\ prompt, for example BIOS.EXE.”  
3. You will be prompted to confirm a folder in which to store the extracted files. The BIOS  
upgrade image is extracted in the specified folder.  
Upgrading the BIOS  
1. Place the bootable diskette containing the BIOS update files into the diskette drive of your  
system. Boot the system with the diskette in the drive.  
2. At this point you have a choice of two options. Press 1 and <Enter> to automatically update  
the system BIOS. This will update the system BIOS and reset the system. Press 2 and <Enter>  
to update the User Binary and reset the system.  
3. Wait while the BIOS files are updated. Do not power down the system during the BIOS update  
process! The system will reset automatically when the BIOS update process is completed.  
Remove the diskette from the diskette drive.  
4. Check to make sure the BIOS version displayed during POST is the new version as the system  
reboots.  
5. Enter Setup by pressing the F2 key during boot. Once in Setup, press the F9 and <Enter> to set  
the parameters back to default values.  
6. Re-enter the values you wrote down at the beginning of this process. Press F10 and <Enter> to  
exit BIOS Setup and Save Changes.  
7. If you do not set the CMOS values back to defaults using the F9 key, the system may function  
erratically.  
NOTE  
You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot.  
Try shutting down the system and booting up again. CMOS checksum errors  
require that you enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit  
Setup.  
Recovering the BIOS  
It is unlikely that anything will interrupt the BIOS upgrade; however, if an interruption occurs, the  
BIOS could be damaged. The following steps explain how to recover the BIOS if an upgrade fails.  
NOTE  
Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block  
area, there is no video support. You will not see anything on the screen  
during the procedure. Monitor the procedure by listening to the speaker.  
You must boot to DOS. The BIOS recovery diskette will not be created  
correctly under the DOS window of a Windows operating system.

window of a Windows operating system. It is necessary to use an MS-DOS  
system to create the BIOS recovery floppy diskette.  
5. Power off the system, unplug the power cord, and remove the chassis panel.  
6. Remove the spare jumper from pins 9-10 on jumper block J106 and install it on pins 1-2 (BIOS  
Recovery) of jumper block J106.  
7. Insert the BIOS recovery diskette into the diskette drive.  
8. Reinstall the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.  
9. The screen will remain blank while the BIOS Recovery is performed. A number of beeps will  
occur during the BIOS update. The diskette drive access light will not turn off when the BIOS  
recovery is completed. Allow four minutes for the BIOS recovery to complete. If a POST card  
is installed in a PCI slot during the BIOS recovery, you can tell that the BIOS recovery is  
complete when code ECis displayed. When the BIOS Recovery is complete, it is safe to  
power off the system.  
10. Power off the system, unplug the power cord(s), and remove the chassis panel.  
11. Remove the BIOS Recovery jumper from pins 1-2 and store the jumper on pins 9-10.  
12. Replace the chassis panel, plug in the power cord(s), and power on the system.  
13. Perform a CMOS clear following the BIOS recovery.

Emissions Disclaimer  
To ensure EMC compliance with your local regional rules and regulations, the final configuration  
of your end system product may require additional EMC compliance testing. For more information  
please contact your local Intel Representative.  
See Regulatory and Integration Informationon page 87 for product Safety and EMC regulatory  
compliance information. This is an FCC Class A device. Integration of it into a Class B chassis  
does not result in a Class B device.  
Safety Cautions  
CAUTIONS  
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system  
AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power  
cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before  
you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.  
Hazardous conditions, devices & cables: Hazardous electrical  
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables.  
Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications  
systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it.  
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection: ESD can damage  
disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all  
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not  
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap  
attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server  
when handling parts.  
47  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
 
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can  
be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After  
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the  
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a  
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide  
board over any surface.  
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased  
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on  
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed  
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle  
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the  
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can  
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with  
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not  
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may  
bend or break the stake pins on the board.  
Safety and Regulatory Compliance  
See Regulatory and Integration Informationon page 87 for product Safety and EMC regulatory  
compliance information.  
Intended uses: This product was evaluated for use in servers that will be installed in offices,

4 Upgrading  
Tools and Supplies Needed  
Phillips (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)  
Jumper removal tool or needle nosed pliers  
Pen or pencil  
Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)  
Cautions  
These warnings and cautions apply throughout this chapter. Only a technically qualified person  
should configure the server board.  
CAUTIONS  
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system  
AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power  
cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before  
you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.  
Hazardous conditions, devices, & cables: Hazardous electrical  
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables.  
Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications  
systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it.  
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.  
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) & ESD protection: ESD can damage  
disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all  
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not  
available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap  
attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server  
when handling parts.  
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can  
be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After  
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the  
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a  
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide  
board over any surface.

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased  
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on  
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed  
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle  
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the  
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can  
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with  
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not  
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may  
bend or break the stake pins on the board.  
Memory  
The board supports only DDR 200/266-compliant DIMMs. Install from 256 MB to 4 GB of  
memory, using up to four DIMMs.  
DIMMs must be installed in pairs. The furthest DIMM pair from the MCH must be populated first.  
No DIMM mixing is allowed within a bank. Between banks only the DIMM size may be different.  
All DIMMs must be the same speed and architecture. For a list of supported memory, visit the Intel  
Support Web site at:

Processors  
WARNING  
If the server has been running, any installed processor and heat sink on  
the processor board(s) will be hot. To avoid the possibility of a burn, be  
careful when removing or installing server board components that are  
located near processors.  
CAUTIONS  
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if  
you install a processor that is inappropriate for your server. Make sure your  
server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power  
considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability,  
contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer  
Support Web site:  
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic  
discharge (ESD) damage to the processor by doing the following: (1) Touch  
the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of  
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge  
while handling the processor. (2) Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

Running New Application Software  
Problems that occur when you run new application software are usually related to the software.  
Faulty equipment is much less likely, especially if other software runs correctly.  
Checklist  
q Does the system meet the minimum hardware requirements for the software? See the software  
documentation.  
q Is the software an authorized copy? If not, get one; unauthorized copies often do not work.  
q If you are running the software from a diskette, is it a good copy?  
q If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, is the disk scratched or dirty?  
q If you are running the software from a hard disk drive, is the software correctly installed?  
Were all necessary procedures followed and files installed?  
q Are the correct device drivers installed?  
q Is the software correctly configured for the system?  
q Are you using the software correctly?  
If the problems persist, contact the software vendors customer service representative.  
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  
q If you are running the software from a diskette, try a new copy of the software.  
q If you are running the software from a CD-ROM disk, try a different disk to see if the problem  
occurs on all disks.  
q 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.  
q 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.  
q 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.)
