Collecting System Event Log for Investigation
If the front panel LED blinks for 30 to 60 seconds upon applying AC power to
the power supply, the baseboard management controller (iBMC) is
initializing. If not, then the iBMC is not functioning. If the iBMC is working,
try to gather system event log (SEL) information for investigation.

Using the System Setup Program
Start Menu
The system employs the latest AMI Core BIOS, which is stored in
Flash memory. The Flash memory supports the Plug and Play specification,
and contains a System Setup program, the Power-On Self-Test (POST)
routine, and the PCI auto-configuration utility.
This system board supports system BIOS shadowing, enabling the BIOS to
execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.
The system board helps to configure the following items:
•
•
•
Hard drives, diskette drives, and peripherals
Password protection from unauthorized use
Power management features
This Setup utility should be executed under the following conditions:
•
•
When changing the system configuration
When a configuration error is detected by the system and you are
prompted to make changes to the Setup utility
•
•
When redefining the communication ports to prevent any conflicts
When changing the password or making other changes to the security
setup
NOTE: Only items in brackets [ ] can be modified. Items that are not in brackets
are display only.
Using the System Setup Program
37
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
System Setup Options at Boot
You can initiate Setup by pressing <F2> during POST.
Console Redirection
The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems
on a system, which has not successfully booted the operating system.
The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS Console. The BIOS
Console is a Flash ROM-resident utility that redirects input and output over
a serial or modem connection.
The BIOS supports console redirection to a serial port. If a serial port based
headless system support is provided by the system, the system must provide
support for redirection of all BIOS driven console I/O to the serial port.
The driver for the serial console must be capable of supporting the
functionality documented in the ANSI Terminal Definition.

Installing the Processor
NOTE: When installing only one processor, the processor must be installed in CPU0
socket (for the socket location, see Figure 5-3).
NOTE: Your system uses an LGA 1366 socket, which is designed for trouble free
insertion of the CPU. After placing the CPU into the socket, press the lever down
and lock in place. If you notice any resistance when inserting the CPU, ensure that
it is aligned correctly.
NOTE: After removing the processor, place it in an antistatic container for reuse,
return, or temporary storage. Do not touch the bottom of the processor. Touch only
the side edges of the processor.
NOTE: If you are permanently removing the processor, you must install a processor
blank and a heat-sink blank to ensure proper system cooling. Adding the blank is
similar to installing a processor.

System Memory
Your system supports DDR3 registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). Single-, dual-
and quad-rank DIMMs can be 800, 1066 or 1333 MHz.
The system contains 18 memory sockets split into two sets of nine sockets
with one set for each processor. Each nine-socket set is organized into three
channels of three memory sockets per channel.
The maximum memory that is supported on your system varies according to
the types and sizes of memory modules being used:
Installing System Components

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•
•
Single-rank, and dual-rank RDIMMs of sizes 1 GB, 2 GB, 4 GB, 8 GB
and 16 GB are supported for a total of up to 288 GB.
Quad-rank RDIMMs (two per channel) are supported for a total of
up to 48 GB.
General Memory Module Installation Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance of your system, observe the following general
guidelines when configuring your system memory.
NOTE: Memory configurations that fail to observe these guidelines can prevent
your system from starting and producing any video output.
•
Except for memory channels that are unused, all populated memory
channels must have identical configurations.
•
•
The memory configuration for each processor must be identical.
Memory modules of different sizes can be mixed in A1–A4 or B1–B4
(for example, 2 GB and 4 GB), but all populated channels must have
identical configurations.
•
•
For optimizer mode, memory modules are installed in the numeric order of
the sockets beginning with A1 or B1.
For memory mirroring or advanced ECC mode, the channel furthest from
the processor is unused and memory modules are installed beginning with
channel A1 or B1 and proceeding with channel A2 or B2.
•
•
Advanced ECC mode requires memory modules that use x4 or x8 DRAM
device widths.
The memory speed of each channel depends on the
memory configuration:
–
For single- or dual-rank memory modules:
•
•
•
One memory module per channel supports up to 1333 MHz.
Two memory modules per channel support up to 1066 MHz.
Three memory modules per channel support up to 800 MHz,
regardless of memory module speed.
–
For quad-rank memory modules:
One memory module per channel supports up to 1066 MHz.
•
68
Installing System Components
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
•
Two memory modules per channel are limited to 800 MHz,
regardless of the memory module speed.
•
•
If quad-rank memory modules are mixed with single- or dual-rank
modules, the quad-rank modules must be installed in the sockets
with the white release levers.
If memory modules with different speeds are installed, they operate at the
speed of the slowest installed memory module(s).
Mode-Specific Guidelines
Three memory channels are allocated to each processor. The number
of channels used and the allowable configurations depend on the
memory mode selected.
Optimizer (Independent Channel) Mode
In this mode, all three channels are populated with identical memory
modules. This mode permits a larger total memory capacity but does not
support SDDC with x8-based memory modules.
A minimal single-channel configuration of one 1 GB memory module per
processor is also supported in this mode.
Table 3-1 shows sample memory configurations that follow the appropriate
memory guidelines stated in this section. The samples show identical
memory-module configurations and their physical and available memory
totals. The tables do not show mixed or quad-rank memory-module
configurations, nor do they address the memory speed considerations
of any configuration.
