Chapter 2. Hardware Installation

2.1 Mounting the motherboard

!INSTALLATION WARNING!

Use Caution When Installing the ServerBoard into the System Chassis

The components underneath the PS/2 Mouse/Keyboard connectors around the mounting hole are very

FRAGILE and can be knocked off of their soldered positions, resulting in IRREPARABLE DAMAGE

during installation when sliding the board into a system chassis.

Gently install the ServerBoard into the chassis, and use a Mylar Sheet to cover and protect the underside of

the ServerBoard during installation. Take care NOT to scrape the bottom of the ServerBoard on the chassis

stand-offs and mounting holes.

These components are necessary for many different operations, including the Mouse and the Keyboard. If

you damage any of these chips, one of the symptoms is that the ServerBoard will NOT respond to key

strokes through the PS/2 port and the ServerBoard will have to be replaced. Other symptoms include the

loss of response or functionality in any of the rear I/O ports. Contact your authorized dealer for more

information.

The Damage noted here in this WARNING may require the ServerBoard to be replaced. Due to the Nature

of the Damage, this may be considered Out-of-Warranty Damage. Make certain that ALL documented

procedures are followed correctly.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2.2 Installing the processor

LH500 operates best when dual Intel Xeon processors are in use. When using only one processor, install it

in CPU_1 socket.

We discourage you from installing in the CPU_2 socket if you have

only one processor to install. The result may be unpredictable.

Procedure:

First read the instructions that comes with the CPU Then consult the following the instructions which is

specific to the installation for 1U system.

1. Flip over the motherboard and install the backplate. There are four holes around each CPU socket;

align the backplate with the four holes around the CPU socket, insert the backplate from the back of the

motherboard through the four holes. The backplate should now clamp onto the motherboard .

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

A good quality backplate should have tape over some parts of it that

prevents electrical damage. Whenever possible, use high quality

backplates to prolong the life of your motherboard.

2. Lift up the lever and locate the triangle marking on the CPU and CPU socket. Refer to the following

picture.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

3. Place the CPU with the correct orientation (B) as shown in the following pictures. The lever is still up

and the two triangles are in the same corner.

The CPU will not fit if the orientation is wrong. Do not try to force

the CPU into the socket; it could result in irreparable damage to the

CPU.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

4. Lower the socket locking lever in place.

5. Now, rest the motherboard into the chassis, align the four holes of the backplate with the four bolts of

the chassis.

We do not recommend you to apply thermal grease at this point of the

installation. The heatsink provided already has thermal grease on the

bottom for your convenience. Do not apply more thermal grease if it is

already present. Too much thermal grease will spill onto the CPU

circuit and damage the CPU.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

6. Mount the CPU heatsink to the top of the CPU and socket. Align the screws of the heatsink with the

four holes of the backplate and the chassis bolts, then fasten them securely.

Repeat the steps for the installation of another CPU.

Heatsink not included in the package.

2.3 Installing the memory

2.3.1 DIMM combination

The following diagram indicates the locations of memory sockets, captioned 1^st_Pair_A through 3^rd_Pair_B.

Types of memory supported:

Six sockets of 184-pin 2.5Volt DDR DIMM supporting DDR-333/266.

As indicated on the diagram, they are running on dual channel memory bus and two-way interleaved

memory banks. Therefore, the memory must be INSTALLED IN PAIRS. The first pair must be installed

in the “1^st_Pair_A” and “1^st_Pair_B” locations as indicated in the diagram. The second pair must be

installed in the “2^nd_Pair_A” and “2^nd_Pair_B” locations, and so on. Be sure that every memory pair is of

the same speed, size and rank.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

DDR memory types are determined by two factors: speed and rank. LH500 supports DDR 333/266 speed

in both single/dual rank. The rank of your memory could impact the effectiveness of the motherboard.

Table 1 indicates the setup that LH500 has been tested on.

The number of memory chips and how they are stacked on a memory

module do not indicate the rank of that memory module. The only

way to determine the rank of a memory module is to contact the

memory manufacturer for its specification.

The first row reads: if you use 1 pair of DDR of type single rank, install in 1^st_Pair slots.

2.5 Power Supply

2.5.1 ATX 24-pin power connector

There are two 24 pin power connectors on the motherboard. Only one is needed to make the motherboard

operational. The redundancy is built-in for your convenience; you may choose either one to hook up

depending on the layout of your system chassis. The 24-pin connector provides power to the motherboard

and the 8-pin connector provides power to the CPU. So both must be connected for the system to run

properly.

Be sure to plug the power supply connector in the right direction. Failure to do so could cause damage to

the motherboard.

Make sure your power supply can support at least 2 amps standby power for the Advanced Configuration

and Power Interface (ACPI) functions.

Refer to the following diagram for the connector locations and orientations.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Make sure the AC adapter is not plugged into the wall outlet during

installation. The electric current could damage the motherboard.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2.5.2 ATX 8-pin power connector

The 8-pin connector provides dedicated power to the CPU.

Refer to the following diagram for its location and configuration.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2.6 Cables & Connectors

2.6.1 Floppy disk drive connector

The following diagram indicates the location of the floppy drive connector:

To install the floppy drive, first refer to the instructions that come with the floppy drive. Then consult the

instructions here.

Attaching a floppy drive can be done in a similar manner to an IDE drive. Most of the current floppy

drives on the market require that the cable be installed with the colored stripe positioned next to the power

connector. In most cases, there will be a key pin on the cable, which will force proper connection of the

cable.

The motherboard supports only one floppy connector, but the connector can support up to two floppy

drives. Below are some symptoms of incorrectly installed floppy drives. Wrong installation should not

cause severe damage but it may cause your system to freeze or crash when trying to read and/or write to the

floppy diskette.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

Diagnosing an incorrectly installed floppy drive

Drive is not automatically detected.

Usually caused by faulty cables, cables put in

backwards or a bad floppy drive or motherboard.

Try another floppy drive to verify the problem if

the cable is properly installed or try replacing the

actual cable. Also check to see if the onboard

floppy controller is enabled in the BIOS setup.

Drive Fail message at boot-up.

Drive does not power on.

The cable, floppy drive or motherboard may be

faulty. Try another drive or cable to verify.

Check power cable and cabling. Maybe a bad

power supply or drive cable problem.

Drive activity light is constantly on.

Usually signifies that the cable on the drive is on

backwards, which is a common issue. Reverse the

cable on the floppy drive end and try again.

Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

2.6.2 IDE connectors

The following diagram indicates the location of the IDE connectors:

As always, read the instructions that come with the IDE drive and then consult the instructions here.

For Parallel ATA, installing IDE drives has become simpler over the years. The cables are now “keyed” to

guide the user to the correct installation configuration. Each IDE connector can support two IDE drives.

For the first IDE drive you want to use the Pri_IDE connector (setting the drive to Master). For the second

IDE drive you can either use the connector (in which case, the second IDE drive should be set to Slave) or

you use the Sec_IDE connector (in this case, set the second IDE drive to Master).

Remember to set BIOS to match the configuration that you

implement here. Go to Advanced Menu section of BIOS

for detail.

2.6.3 Front Panel Connectors

You can find the pin number on the corner of the pin block. Pin 2 is located closer to the outer edge of the

motherboard than pin 1. Pin 34 is closer to the outer edge of the motherboard than pin 33.

The red + indicates the anode, or the +5V. The opposite pin, then, indicates the cathode or the ground.

CHAPTER 3. BIOS SETUP

This chapter discusses the PhoenixBIOS setup program built into the ROM BIOS.

BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables the hardware to

interface with the software. The setup program allows the users to modify the basic system configurations

according to their needs. The configuration is then stored in battery-backed NVRAM so that it retains the

configuration when the power is turned off. The PhoenixBIOS installed in the motherboard’s ROM is a

custom version of an industry standard BIOS.

The rest of the chapter will list all the menus and sub-menus in the BIOS. Along with them, you can also

find the list of possible values for any configurable item in the BIOS.

3.1 ENTERING BIOS SETUP

The PhoenixBIOS is activated when the system powers on. The BIOS reads the system information

contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. After

finishing configuring the whole system, BIOS will seek an OS on disk and turn over control of the system

to the OS found.

While BIOS is in control, the Setup menu can be accessed by pressing the <F2> key when the following

message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during Power On Self Test: “Press <F2> to enter

SETUP.”

3.3 Troubleshooting

In case the system cannot be booted after some changes in BIOS, use the clear CMOS jumper setting to

reset the BIOS to default. To avoid such problem, configure only the items that you thoroughly understand

and refrain from modifying the default chipset settings.

3.10 About the Boot Utilities

The MainBoard comes with the following boot utilities:

Phoenix QuietBoot™: Phoenix QuietBoot displays a graphic illustration rather than the traditional POST

messages while keeping you informed of diagnostic problems.

Phoenix MultiBoot™: Phoenix MultiBoot is a boot screen that displays a selection of boot devices from

which you can boot your operating system.

3.10.1 Using Phoenix QuietBoot

Right after you turn on or reset the computer, Phoenix QuietBoot displays the QuietBoot Screen, a graphic

illustration created by the computer manufacturer instead of the text-based POST screen, which displays a

number of PC diagnostic messages.

To exit the QuietBoot screen and run Setup, display the MultiBoot menu, or simply display the PC

diagnostic messages, you can simply press one of the hot keys described below.

The QuietBoot Screen stays up until just before the operating system loads unless one of the following

actions occurs:

Press <F10> to display the POST screen

3.11 BIOS Flash Upgrade Utility

Phoenix Phlash gives you the ability to update your BIOS from a floppy disk without having to install a

new ROM BIOS chip.

Phoenix Phlash is a utility for "flashing" (copying) a BIOS to the Flash ROM installed on your computer

from a floppy disk. A Flash ROM is a Read-Only Memory chip that you can write to using a special

method called "flashing." Use Phoenix Phlash for the following tasks:

Update the current BIOS with a new version.

Restore a BIOS when it has become corrupted.

3.11.1 Executing Phoenix Phlash

You can run Phoenix Phlash to update or replace your current BIOS in Command Line Mode. To execute

Phlash in this mode, move to the directory into which you have installed Phoenix Phlash and type “Phlash”

at the prompt:

C:\PHLASH16 [filename] /BBL /C

Phoenix Phlash automatically updates or replaces the current BIOS with the one which your OEM or dealer

supplies you.

Phlash may fail if your system is using memory managers, in which case the utility displays the following

message:

Cannot flash when memory managers are present.

If you see this message after you execute Phlash, you must disable the memory manager on your system.

To do so, follow the instructions in the following sections.

Disabling Memory Managers

To avoid failure when flashing, you must disable the memory managers that load from CONFIG.SYS and

AUTOEXEC.BAT. There are two recommended procedures for disabling the memory managers. One

consists of pressing the <F5> key (only if you are using DOS 5.0 or above), and the other requires the

creation of a boot diskette.

DOS 5.0 (or later version)

For DOS 5.0 and later, follow the two steps below to disable any memory managers on your system. If you

are not using at least DOS 5.0, then you must create a boot diskette to bypass any memory managers (See

Create a Boot Diskette, below).

1. Boot DOS 5.0 or later version. (In Windows 95, at the boot option screen, choose Option 8, "Boot

to a previous version of DOS.")

2. When DOS displays the “Starting MS-DOS” message, press <F5>.

After you press <F5>, DOS bypasses the CONFIG.SYS and AUTOEXEC.BAT files, and therefore does

not load any memory managers.

You can now execute Phlash.

Create a Boot Diskette

To bypass memory managers in DOS versions previous to 5.0, follow this recommended procedure:

1. Insert a diskette into your A: drive.

2. Enter the following from the command line: Format A: /S

3. Reboot your system from the A: drive.

Your system will now boot without loading the memory managers, and you can then execute Phlash.

APPENDIX I: Glossary

ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface): a power management

specification that allows the operating system to control the amount of power distributed

to the computer’s devices. Devices not in use can be turned off, reducing unnecessary

power expenditure.

AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port): a PCI-based interface which was designed

specifically for demands of 3D graphics applications. The 32-bit AGP channel directly

links the graphics controller to the main memory. While the channel runs only at 66 MHz,

it supports data transmission during both the rising and falling ends of the clock cycle,

yielding an effective speed of 133 MHz.

ATAPI (AT Attachment Packet Interface): also known as IDE or ATA; a drive

implementation that includes the disk controller on the device itself. It allows CD-ROMs

and tape drives to be configured as master or slave devices, just like HDDs.

ATX: the form factor designed to replace the AT form factor. It improves on the AT

design by rotating the board 90 degrees, so that the IDE connectors are closer to the drive

bays, and the CPU is closer to the power supply and cooling fan. The keyboard, mouse,

USB, serial, and parallel ports are built-in.

Bandwidth: refers to carrying capacity. The greater the bandwidth, the more data the bus,

phone line, or other electrical path can carry. Greater bandwidth results in greater speed.

BIOS (Basic Input/Output System): the program that resides in the ROM chip, which

provides the basic instructions for controlling your computer’s hardware. Both the

operating system and application software use BIOS routines to ensure compatibility.

Buffer: a portion of RAM which is used to temporarily store data; usually from an

application though it is also used when printing and in most keyboard drivers. The CPU

can manipulate data in a buffer before copying it to a disk drive. While this improves

system performance (reading to or writing from a disk drive a single time is much faster

than doing so repeatedly) there is the possibility of losing your data should the system

crash. Information in a buffer is temporarily stored, not permanently saved.

Bus: a data pathway. The term is used especially to refer to the connection between the

processor and system memory, and between the processor and PCI or ISA local buses.

Bus mastering: allows peripheral devices and IDEs to access the system memory

without going through the CPU (similar to DMA channels).

Cache: a temporary storage area for data that will be needed often by an application.

Using a cache lowers data access times since the information is stored in SRAM instead

of slower DRAM. Note that the cache is also much smaller than your regular memory: a

typical cache size is 512KB, while you may have as much as 4GB of regular memory.

Closed and open jumpers: jumpers and jumper pins are active when they are “on” or

“closed”, and inactive when they are “off” or “open”.

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductors): chips that hold the basic

startup information for the BIOS.

COM port: another name for the serial port, which is called as such because it transmits

the eight bits of a byte of data along one wire, and receives data on another single wire

(that is, the data is transmitted in serial form, one bit after another). Parallel ports transmit

the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time (that is, in parallel form, eight

bits at the same time).

DDR (Double Data Rate): a technology designed to double the clock speed of the

memory. It activates output on both the rising and falling edge of the system clock rather

than on just the rising edge, potentially doubling output.

DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module): faster and more capacious form of RAM than

SIMMs, and do not need to be installed in pairs.

DIMM bank: sometimes called DIMM socket because the physical slot and the logical

unit are the same. That is, one DIMM module fits into one DIMM socket, which is

capable of acting as a memory bank.

DMA (Direct Memory Access): channels that are similar to IRQs. DMA channels allow

hardware devices (like soundcards or keyboards) to access the main memory without

involving the CPU. This frees up CPU resources for other tasks. As with IRQs, it is vital

that you do not double up devices on a single line. Plug-n-Play devices will take care of

this for you.

DMI: A specification that establishes a standard framework for managing networked

computers. DMI covers hardware and software, desktop systems and servers, and defines

a model for filtering events and describing interfaces.

DRAM (Dynamic RAM): widely available, very affordable form of RAM which looses

data if it is not recharged regularly (every few milliseconds). This refresh requirement

makes DRAM three to ten times slower than non-recharged RAM such as SRAM.

ECC (Error Correction Code or Error Checking and Correcting): allows data to be

checked for errors during run-time. Errors can subsequently be corrected at the same time

that they’re found.

EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM): also called Flash BIOS, it is

a ROM chip which can, unlike normal ROM, be updated. This allows you to keep up

with changes in the BIOS programs without having to buy a new chip.

ESCD (Extended System Configuration Data): a format for storing information about

Plug-n-Play devices in the system BIOS. This information helps properly configure the

system each time it boots.

Firmware: low-level software that controls the system hardware.

Form factor: an industry term for the size, shape, power supply type, and external

connector type of the Personal Computer Board (PCB) or motherboard. The standard

form factors are the AT and ATX.

IDE (Integrated Device/Drive Electronics): a simple, self-contained HDD interface. It

can handle drives up to 8.4 GB in size. Almost all IDEs sold now are in fact Enhanced

IDEs (EIDEs), with maximum capacity determined by the hardware controller.

IDE INT (IDE Interrupt): a hardware interrupt signal that goes to the IDE.

I/O (Input/Output): the connection between your computer and another piece of

hardware (mouse, keyboard, etc.)

IRQ (Interrupt Request): an electronic request that runs from a hardware device to the

CPU. The interrupt controller assigns priorities to incoming requests and delivers them to

the CPU. It is important that there is only one device hooked up to each IRQ line;

doubling up devices on IRQ lines can lock up your system. Plug-n-Play operating

systems can take care of these details for you.

Latency: the amount of time that one part of a system spends waiting for another part to

catch up. This occurs most commonly when the system sends data out to a peripheral

device and has to wait for the peripheral to spread (peripherals tend to be slower than

onboard system components).

NVRAM: ROM and EEPROM are both examples of Non-Volatile RAM, memory that

holds its data without power. DRAM, in contrast, is volatile.

OPROM: Firmware on adapter cards that control bootable peripherals. The system

BIOS interrogates the option ROMs to determine which devices can be booted.

Parallel port: transmits the bits of a byte on eight different wires at the same time.

PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect): a 32 or 64-bit local bus (data pathway)

which is faster than the ISA bus. Local buses are those which operate within a single

system (as opposed to a network bus, which connects multiple systems).

PCI PIO (PCI Programmable Input/Output) modes: the data transfer modes used by

IDE drives. These modes use the CPU for data transfer (in contrast, DMA channels do

not). PCI refers to the type of bus used by these modes to communicate with the CPU.

PCI-to-PCI bridge: allows you to connect multiple PCI devices onto one PCI slot.

PnP (Plug-n-Play): a design standard that has become ascendant in the industry. Plug-n-

Play devices require little set-up to use. Devices and operating systems that are not Plug-

n-Play require you to reconfigure your system each time you add or change any part of

your hardware.

RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks): a way for the same data to be stored

in different places on many hard drives. By using this method, the data is stored

redundantly and multiple hard drives will appear as a single drive to the operating system.

RAID level 0 is known as striping, where data is striped (or overlapped) across multiple

hard drives, but offers no fault-tolerance. RAID level 1 is known as mirroring, which

stores the data within at least two hard drives, but does not stripe. RAID level 1 also

allows for faster access time and fault-tolerance, since either hard drive can be read at the

same time. RAID level 0+1 is both striping and mirroring, providing fault-tolerance,

striping, and faster access all at the same time.

SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic RAM): called as such because it can keep two sets of

memory addresses open simultaneously. By transferring data alternately from one set of

addresses and then the other, SDRAM cuts down on the delays associated with non-

synchronous RAM, which must close one address bank before opening the next.

Serial port: called as such because it transmits the eight bits of a byte of data along one

wire, and receives data on another single wire (that is, the data is transmitted in serial

form, one bit after another).

Sleep/Suspend mode: in this mode, all devices except the CPU shut down.

SRAM (Static RAM): unlike DRAM, this type of RAM does not need to be refreshed in

order to prevent data loss. Thus, it is faster and more expensive.

SMBIOS: The system management specification addresses how motherboard and system

vendors present management information about their products in a standard format by

extending the BIOS interface on Intel architecture systems.

Standby mode: in this mode, the video and hard drives shut down; all other devices

continue to operate normally.

UltraDMA-33/66/100: a fast version of the old DMA channel. UltraDMA is also called

UltraATA. Without a proper UltraDMA controller, your system cannot take advantage of

higher data transfer rates of the new UltraDMA/UltraATA hard drives.

USB (Universal Serial Bus): a versatile port. This one port type can function as a serial,

parallel, mouse, keyboard or joystick port. It is fast enough to support video transfer, and

is capable of supporting up to 127 daisy-chained peripheral devices.

ZCR (Zero Channel RAID): ZCR card provides RAID-5 solution by working with the

onboard SCSI/SATA/SATA-II chip through special PCI-X slot with Intel RAIDIOS logic,

thus lowering cost of RAID-5 solution
