WARNING
To avoid a risk of injuries, installation should be performed by trained technical
personnel.
Your server is equipped with a front stabilizer. Engage the front stabilizer during
installation. For stability and to distribute the weight, also attach side stabilizers.
Otherwise, the rack may topple over and cause injuries.
If you extend two or more devices from the rack at the same time, the rack may
topple over on you. Extend only one device from the rack at a time.
Exercise great care not to hurt your fingers on the rail when you mount/dismount
the equipment into/from the rack.
Lithium batteries can be dangerous. Improper handling of lithium batteries may
result in an explosion. Dispose of lithium batteries as required by local ordinance.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery.
The DVD-ROM drive uses a laser beam. Do not look or insert a mirror inside
while the system is on. A laser beam is invisible; if your eyes get exposed to it,
there is a risk of losing your eyesight.
ꢀ Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack
assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater
than the room ambient environment. Therefore, consideration should be given to
installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum rated ambient
temperature of 89.6°F.
ꢀ Reduced air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the
amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
ꢀ To prevent fires, and damage to rack equipment and supply wiring, make sure that the
rated load of the power branch circuit is not exceeded. Equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern. For more information on installation and
wiring of power-related facilities, contact your electrician or local power company.
ꢀ To prevent electrical shock, connect all rack and rack support equipment to the same
electrical circuit of the building wiring. If you are unsure, check the building wiring to
avoid remote earth conditions.
ꢀ For safe operation, only connect the equipment to a building supply that is in accordance
with current wiring regulations in your country. In the USA those wiring standards are
regulated by Underwriter Laboratories (UL); in the U.K. by the Institution of Electrical
Engineers, (IEE) and in Canada by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA).

Overview
Your Express5800/1080Xd server is a modular, multiprocessing server based on the
Intel® Itanium® 2 64-bit processor. The combination of Intel Itanium 2 architecture,
along with your server’s innovative crossbar switch and high-speed memory access
technology, provides for massive power and scalability using the latest available
operating systems. Your server is ideal for large-scale applications as well as compute
intensive environments. Your server is conveniently housed in a rack-mount cabinet
(see Figure 1-1).
Figure 1-1. Express5800/1080Xd Server
Advanced features of your Express5800/1080Xd server include:
ꢀ High-speed processing and high scalability
High-speed processing is realized through a combination of the new Intel CPU
and NEC crossbar switch and high-speed memory access technologies. In
addition to support for up to 8 CPUs, the server employs the advanced PCI-X bus
to connect peripheral and network devices and can be configured with up to 26
I/O slots, demonstrating the high scalability ideal for large-scale configurations.
ꢀ Partitioning functionality for flexible system operation
Your server can be partitioned at the hardware level, enabling each subsystem to
operate as an independent computer system. It is possible to divide an 8 CPU
system configuration into two subsystems, each of which has 4 CPUs, and let
them each operate separately. In this way, it’s possible to allocate processor
capacity according to workload status, resulting in flexible system operation and
guaranteed security.
ꢀ High reliability and availability
Many hardware components allow redundancy, and the CPU/memory cell board
and I/O card hardware are hot-swap compliant. Easy system recovery is possible
even at the time of failure.

Main Components
The following sections provide information about the components in the main chassis.
Itanium 2 Processors
Depending on system configuration, your system includes four or eight Intel Itanium 2
64-bit 1.3-GHz/3-MB or 1.5-GHz/6.0-MB processors. Four Intel Itanium 2 processors
are installed within one CELLV board. See Figure 1-5. A second CELLV board has an
additional four Intel Itanium 2 processors. All processors installed in your system must
be of identical bus and core speed.
System Memory
Each CELLV board in your system contains sixteen 168-pin DIMM sockets.
See Figure 1-5. Memory DIMMs must be populated four at a time with 1-GB ECC
SDRAM DIMMs. Depending on the number of DIMMs installed, your system may
include from 4 GB up to a maximum of 32 GB of memory using 1-GB DIMMs.
PCI-X Core Module
The server’s expansion capabilities meet the needs of file and application servers for
high performance I/O by providing twelve hot-swap PCI-X expansion slots within the
Core Module. The Core Module consists of a CrossBar Controller (XBC) and an I/O
Router (IOR). The Core Module can be connected with up to two CELLV Boards, to
control data transfers between the CELLV Boards.
The Core Module includes five full-length and three half-length 64-bit/66-MHz hot-
swap PCI-X slots and three full-length and one half-length 64-bit/133-MHz hot-swap
PCI-X slots. The PCI-X slots allow PCI-X boards to be installed or removed while the
server is powered on (if the operating system supports the Hot Plug PCI function). A
Basic I/O Board to support standard I/O interface and a video VGA controller board are
installed in the Core Module. The Basic I/O Board and video VGA board are not hot-
swappable.
Note: Your operating system must support the Hot Plug PCI
function.
A DVD-ROM drive is installed in the Core Module as standard equipment. Optionally,
a DAT tape drive or USB FDD and up to 4 disk storage hard disk drives may be added
to the Core Module. See Figure 1-2.

System Functions
The following subsections describe select system functions.
Partitioning
If your system includes two CELLV Boards and an optional core PCIX expansion unit,
your server may be partitioned at the hardware level into two distinct subsystems,
enabling each subsystem to operate as an independent computer system, each with its
own operating system.
It is possible to divide the eight-CPU system into two subsystems, each of which has
four CPUs, and let them each function separately. In this way it’s possible to allocate
processor capacity according to workload status, resulting in flexible system operation.
Each partition is physically isolated by the hardware settings; a software error does not
affect the other partitions. Thus the system can maintain high security.
1-10 System Overview
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Each partition consists of a CELLV Board and a core PCIX unit. Multiple OS instances
can run on different partitions independently. If a partition has at least one PCIX unit
with basic I/O, the CELLV Boards and the PCIX units can be flexibly assigned to any
partition.
The Service Processor manages the partitioning settings and configuration changes.
Chipset and Crossbar Switch
NEC developed a high-performance chipset and crossbar switch that is based on
supercomputer mainframe technology. The crossbar switch connects the CELLV
boards. The crossbar switch has a low latency as well as high data bandwidth. While
comprising Cache Coherent Non-Uniform Memory Access (cc-NUMA) architecture,
the system employs the chipset and crossbar switch technology in achieving near
uniform high-speed memory access.
Server Management
The Service Processor supports many management functions compatible to the
Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) and Intelligent Platform
Management Interface (IPMI).
The system supports the following ACPI features:
ꢀ Configuration information tables interface from a platform.
ꢀ Software power off controls, etc.
The Service Processor also works as a management controller defined in IPMI. It
supports the following IPMI features.
ꢀ Provides Field Replaceable Unit (FRU) information to System Management
Services (SMS) running on the operating system.
ꢀ Monitors system power, fan speed, and temperature conditions.
ꢀ Monitors stall occurrences during the power-up sequence, OS loading, and
normal running using a watchdog timer, etc.
The Service Processor provides the following management features:
ꢀ Error handling (error monitoring, logging, diagnostics, and reporting)
ꢀ System reset
ꢀ System configuration management
ꢀ Firmware update, etc.
The SMS running on a PC can control the above functions using the Service
Processor’s system management LAN port, which can support TELNET, FTP, and
SNMP protocol. With the combination of the Service Processor and the
SystemGlobe/GlobalMaster software, the Express 5800/1080Xd supports automatic
reconfiguration of partitions based on the conditions pre-defined in the
SystemGlobe/GlobalMaster.

Notes for OS Installation
See the following notes requiring attention when installing the OS:
ꢀ Adding a SCSI card to a free slot and connecting a disk to the SCSI card
after the OS installation, might change the numbering of the disk and
prevent an OS boot from that disk.
ꢀ PCI12 slot is set to not run Option ROM BIOS as default. Running
Option ROM BIOS on PCI12 slot requires changing the settings of the
slot with BIOS setup before booting the OS.
EFI Device Path
Each device installed in the system is managed with an “EFI Device Path.” The
following information describes EFI device paths.
See the following examples and Table 2-2 for device path formats for devices
conforming to EDD3.0 specification:

SP Console
The service processor (SP) in the Express5800/1080Xd main chassis provides the
interface for system management and RAS functions. The SP is on the service
processor and clock (ISP-C) board.
The following sections describe:
ꢀ SP console connections
ꢀ Console operations
ꢀ Console status and login authentication
ꢀ Login and Main Menu.
SP Console Connections
The service processor supports two types of console connections (see Figure 3-1):
ꢀ serial (local console)
ꢀ LAN via TCP port 5001 (LAN console).
Both serial and LAN console connections provide the same operation. However, the
LAN console requires an initial configuration which can only be done using the local
console. See Table 3-1 for console configuration settings.

Note: The most effective connection method between the
Express5800/1000 Series and the Service Processor is by using a telnet utility.
Multiple instances of the telnet utility can be running at once, providing multiple
windows with which to monitor and control the system. These utilities also
provide logging features, which can be very useful in back-tracking system
settings and status reports. Be sure to set VT100 emulation mode.
Console Operations
You can use the consoles to:
ꢀ Operate the service processor using SP commands
ꢀ Redirect the operating system (BIOS) serial console (in main chassis)
ꢀ Display the Virtual SOP (Virtual System Operator Panel).
Console Status and Login Authentication
To use the consoles, you must first log into the service processor. When you log into the
service processor, the iSP Main Menu appears.
From the iSP Main Menu, you can switch to one of the following functions:
ꢀ Virtual SOP – displays the system operating state for each partition with periodic
updates.
ꢀ OS Console – redirects the serial input/output for the operating system (including
BIOS).
ꢀ SP Command Console – allows you to monitor service processor output
messages required for system operation and maintenance and to enter commands
for the service processor. The SP Command Console lets you run commands
required for system operation.

one prime connection to the SP Command Console in the entire
system can be made simultaneously. If LAN is used, additional SP
Command Consoles can be attached using hubs, but they will be in
monitor mode only, and commands can be entered only via the
prime connection.

SP Command Console Buffer
SP Command Console output from the service processor might contain important
information, such as the cause of a system state change. With the LAN console,
however, you cannot monitor the console output from the end of iSP startup until the
LAN console connection is established. Therefore, the iSP has a function to save a
certain amount of message output in a buffer while the connection is being established
to the SP Command Console. About 1,000 lines of messages can be stored in this
buffer. The buffer stores the latest 1,000 lines of messages. You can use the ML
command to view the messages stored in the buffer.

DL (Display SP Logs)
Execution:
This command can be executed in the AC POWER ON state or DC POWER ON state.
Function:
This command displays the logs stored in the iSP. You can upload the logs as a file to
an FTP server.
The detailed log (HW fatal-iSP snapshot) is linked and managed with the activity log
entry. When the log storage area is full, a new activity log is written over the oldest
activity log. When this happens, you cannot refer to the oldest detailed log. You should
display the important log and store it as a screen log of the terminal software. Or,
upload the important log to the FTP server.
Note: The DL command can be executed in Normal mode or
Maintenance mode.

DN (Shut Down System Power)
Execution:
This command can be executed on a partition if Automatic startup has completed or the
UP command has been executed. (The partition is in the DC POWER ON state.)
Function:
This command turns off system power (DC).
If software is not running (for example, in the S0 state), this command turns off the
system.
If any software, such as the OS and BIOS, is running (for example, in the S0 state), this
command only reports a power button interrupt to the software, and the process for the
power button interrupt depends on the software. (The software may ignore the power
button interrupt, or may perform a shutdown and turn off the power.)
Even if the iSP recognizes that some software is running, the software may not be able
to process the power button interrupt due to stalling. In this case, use the DF command
to force the system to turn off.
Note: The DN command can be executed in Normal mode or
Maintenance mode.
Table 3-25. DN Screen

DP (System Dump)
Execution:
This command can be executed on a partition if Automatic startup has completed or the
UP command has been executed. (The partition is in the DC POWER ON state.)
Function:
This command generates a dump interrupt in the system.
The actual operation of the dump processing and the following system reset depend on
the software (OS or BIOS). This command only generates a dump interrupt.
Obviously, nothing happens if no software is running.
Note: The DP command can be executed in Normal mode or

Setup Overview
See the following sections for a description of BIOS Setup, when you need to change
BIOS settings, and how to start and use BIOS Setup.
What is Setup?
Setup is a utility that allows you to set up the system hardware. Settings for PCI
Bridges and devices that connect with the system are included. Setup is incorporated in
the BIOS, and can be executed without any dedicated utility disk.
In most cases, you do not have to use Setup because the settings for it have already been
optimized prior to the system being shipped. However, you can use Setup for the cases
described in the next section.
When You Should Change the Settings
Start Setup and change the settings in the following cases:
ꢀ Some setting errors exist.
ꢀ Settings of CMOS and/or NVRAM are cleared.
Two types of NVRAM exist: NVRAM for BIOS and NVRAM for SPFW. The
NVRAM above is the one for the BIOS.
ꢀ Adding or deleting a boot device.
ꢀ The BIOS version has changed.
ꢀ The Host Bus Bridge (HBB) configuration has changed.
You can also perform the following:
ꢀ Set and/or change the date/time setting.
ꢀ Set and/or change the interrupt setting of the standard I/O (for example: serial
port, mouse).
ꢀ Set and/or change the serial console redirection.
ꢀ Set and/or change the resource reservation for online maintenance support.
Some Setting Errors Exist
The settings for Setup are stored in nonvolatile memory (CMOS and NVRAM). If the
settings in CMOS and/or NVRAM are lost, the BIOS initializes the settings and restarts
the system. If a CMOS/NVRAM error is detected, check the status of the error by
looking at the BIOS Event Log in iSP. *
*Log description "0251 System CMOS checksum bad - Default configuration used"
"910F System NvRAM checksum bad - Default configuration used"
4-2 BIOS Setup
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If an error is detected in the system clock, the following error message is displayed.
(The system clock is called real time clock (RTC).)
0271: Check date and time settings
If changes had previously been made to the settings of the system, changes must be
made again. After POST (Power On Self-Test) is finished, the following message is
displayed.
Press <F2> to Setup
The system will wait for a key entry. Press the F2 key to start Setup.
Settings of CMOS and/or NVRAM Are Cleared
You can clear the settings in CMOS/NVRAM by using BIOS virtual DIPSW, which
can be specified by the “su” command of iSP. For BIOS virtual DIPSW, any
hexadecimal value of 8 digits can be specified. Setting values other than the ones listed
in the table below cannot be used because they are already reserved. In addition, when
a clear operation is performed, the setting value is automatically cleared to “0.” It is not
necessary to set “0” as a clear operation.
See the section “BIOS Virtual Dip Switch” later in this chapter and Table 4-28 for more
information about the Virtual DIP switch settings.

Adding or Deleting a Boot Device
To add or delete a boot device, you must enable or disable the Option ROM expansion
of the PCI card to which the boot device is connected. To add a boot device, specify to
“enable the Option ROM expansion of the PCI card that controls the boot device” in the
Option ROM submenu in the Advanced menu of Setup. To delete a boot device, specify
to “disable the Option ROM expansion of the PCI card” in the same submenu.
“Option ROM expansion” — to store the Option ROM data of the PCI card in memory.

The BIOS Version Has Changed
When changing the BIOS version, start Setup and change the settings.
Change the setting values of Setup to the default values (Specify “Load Setup Defaults”
in the Exit menu).
The Host Bus Bridge Configuration Has Changed
When the configuration is changed due to the addition or deletion of the Host Bus
Bridge, some setting values are reset to their initial states. Settings must be manually
changed again.
ꢀ If you had changed the setting of whether to operate the Option ROM expansion
from the initial value in the PCI slot where the boot device is installed, settings
can be changed again using the Option ROM submenu in the Advanced menu.
ꢀ If the settings had been changed from the initial values in the Host Bus Bridge
configuration submenu in the System Hardware menu, settings must be changed
again.
Starting Setup
When the system starts and while POST is being executed, the following message is
displayed in the lower left of the screen.
Press <F2> to enter Setup
If you press the F2 key while this message is displayed, Setup starts and the Main menu
screen appears.
If an error is detected during POST, the following message is displayed.
Press <F1> to resume, <F2> to Setup
If you press the F2 key, Setup starts. The message in the lower left changes to the
following message.

BIOS Virtual DIP Switch
What is BIOS Virtual DIP Switch?
SP command “su” specifies the settings of the BIOS virtual DIP switch. When the
setting value specified in Table 4-28 is set to the BIOS virtual switch, the BIOS
performs the operation described in the table. A logical-or of the setting value in
Table 4-28 can be set to the BIOS virtual DIP switch. When this happens, the BIOS
performs plural operations at the same time.
!
CAUTION
Changing a setting can cause the server to lose system
configuration information. Use the virtual DIP switch function with
caution. Call your system administrator or NEC Technical Support
personnel for help before setting this switch.

PCI Online Maintenance (PCI Hot Plug)
This section describes the Setup Menu operations/procedures required prior to the PCI
online maintenance operation. An online maintenance available PCI card requires
resources such as PCI Gap, I/O resource, and PCI bus. Prepare those resources correctly
with each configuration menu beforehand.
Available PCI Online Maintenance Function
The server supports the following PCI Online Maintenance functions:
ꢀ Online Add (Adding PCI card)
Installs an online maintenance available PCI card into a PCI slot that accepts
online maintenance without stopping the OS. An online maintenance available
PCI card requires resources. The resources must be prepared prior to the online
maintenance operation with the Setup Menu.
ꢀ Online Remove (Extracting PCI card)
Extracts an online maintenance available PCI card from a PCI slot that accepts
online maintenance without stopping the OS. This operation is performed when
the PCI card may be defective. Preparing resources is not required.
ꢀ Online Replace or online Repair
Extracts an operating online maintenance available PCI card from a PCI slot that
accepts online maintenance without stopping the OS. This procedure installs a
new online maintenance available PCI card into the PCI slot that accepts online
maintenance without stopping the OS. The new card may be the same type as the
extracted one, or may be another type. Preparing the resources is not necessary if
the new card is the same type, but is necessary if the new card is another type.
Preparing the Resources
Use the following procedures to prepare resources for an online maintenance available
PCI card.
1. Select the online maintenance available slot and device.
Select a PCI slot that accepts online maintenance and select an online maintenance
available device installed in the slot.
2. Calculate required resource size.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Confirm the resource size that the online maintenance available devices require.
If plural online maintenance available PCI devices are installed in the PCI slots
under the same PCI bus, the sum of the resources of all PCI devices must be
calculated beforehand.
3. Specify the required resources.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Start up the system and activate BIOS Setup.
Select “System Hardware” in the Main Menu.
4-60 BIOS Setup
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
ꢀ
ꢀ
Select “HBB Configuration” in the System Hardware menu.
Specify resources as follows. Use the resource size calculated in step 2.
PCI Gap:
“Low MMIO Configuration” menu or “High MMIO Configuration” menu
specifies PCI Gap (see “Low MMIO Configuration Submenu” and “High
MMIO Configuration Submenu.)”
“Low MMIO configuration” menu is used when the PCI Gap is assigned to the
address space that is less than 4GB.
“High MMIO Configuration” menu is used when the PCI Gap is assigned to the
address space that is larger than 4GB. Use the following procedure to enable the
specified values in “High MMIO configuration” menu:
Select “System Hardware.”
Select “Memory Mapped I/O > 4GB” in System Hardware menu.
Select “Enable” in Memory Mapped I/O > 4GB submenu (see “Memory
Mapped I/O > 4GB submenu”).
I/O Space:
See “IO Space Configuration Submenu.”
PCI Bus Number:
See “PCI Bus Configuration Submenu.”
If a Reboot Occurs
When procedures are completed in the previous section, “Preparing the Resources,” exit
from the Setup menu. Select “Exit Saving Changes” from the Exit menu (see “Exit
Menu”).
Reboot the system. A reboot might occur again during the reboot process. Two possible
causes for reboot are:
ꢀ Expanded PCI Gap was specified in preparing the resources (see “Procedures for
Preparing the Resources”).
ꢀ The resource values specified in preparing the resources were incorrect (see
“Procedures for Preparing the Resources”).
If an expanded PCI Gap was specified:
Reboot. The following BIOS event log is generated: “910A Low MMIO Space Size
Updated.”
The second reboot occurred because the PCI Gap (Low MMIO) had expanded. The
second reboot is a correct procedure. The system operation can be continued when the
reboot procedure is completed.
BIOS Setup 4-61
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
If a reboot occurred due to incorrect resource values:
The “910E Resource Assignment Failure” BIOS event log is generated.
The system checks whether the sum of the resource size is larger than the total resource
size of the system during system initialization. When the sum of the resource size is
larger than the total resource size, the BIOS event log is generated and the system
reboots again. During the second reboot, the resource size that exceeds total resource
size is set to the initial value. The resource size must be specified correctly. Any other
resource size specified correctly is maintained.

HBB Configuration Submenu Precaution
The Express5800/1080Xd server has the PCIV within the main chassis (core module)
and can connect to the optional PCIX Unit. Hardware configuration for the PCIV core
module unit is different from the PCIX Unit. The PCIX Unit has a GXB01 but the
PCIV does not. The Host Bus Bridge (HBB) Configuration submenu has items that
cannot be specified.
When menus under the HBB Configuration submenu are selected, “N/A” is always
displayed in the “Location” column of HBB #1 and #2. Also, HBB #2 and #3 items
cannot be specified. See the example in the following screen.

Selecting a Slot
Installation can impact the operating frequency of a board. Note the following
information before selecting a PCI slot:
Note: See Figure 5-2 for Core Module slot locations or
Figure 5-4 for PCIX Unit slot locations. These figures slot
frequencies and bus groups.
The actual operating frequency of a board is lower than the highest specified
operating frequency when the following conditions occur:
! More than two PCI boards are installed in the same bus group (does not
apply to PCI-X boards)
! Boards with different operating frequencies are installed in the same bus
group.
PCI 33-MHz is the highest specified operating frequency for the following
boards:
! Basic I/O Board
! SCSI Card DAT device in the server chassis.

Solving Simple Problems
Some system problems are simple ones and easy to solve. Check the corrective actions
to the general problems in the following table. If you still have a problem, record the
conditions of the problem and contact your system administrator or NEC support
personnel.
!
WARNING
Some locations within the server have high voltage and therefore are
very dangerous. To avoid risk of electric shock, turn off all server
power and disconnect power cables.
The main power of your server is turned off by turning off the power
distribution board or removing the power cable.
Before touching the parts in the server, wait for at least 10 to
15 seconds until residual voltage is discharged.
!
CAUTION
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage disk drives, option
boards, and other components. You can provide some ESD
protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis
ground when handling system components.
Electronic devices can be easily damaged by static electricity. To
prevent damage, keep them in their protective packaging when they
are not installed in your system.

Troubleshooting the System
Your server provides several methods for detecting problems in the system:
! LED status indicators on hardware components, such as boards and drives
! Error messages, logs, and status displayed on a monitor from the integrated iSP
Service Processor.
Hardware diagnostics from LED status requires accessing boards integrated in the
server. Hardware diagnostics should be done by trained NEC Support personnel.
Record any error messages displayed on the console and provide the information to the
NEC Support technician.
The service processor provides the following functions for system status and
diagnostics:
! Virtual SOP – displays the system operating state for each partition with periodic
updates. It displays partition configuration information and failure information (see
“Virtual SOP” in Chapter 3.
! OS Console – redirects the serial input/output for the operating system (including
BIOS).
! SP Command Console – allows you to monitor service processor output messages
required for system operation and maintenance and to enter commands for the
service processor. The SP Command Console lets you run commands required for
system operation.
From the iSP Main Menu, you can switch the SP Command Console from normal
operation to maintenance mode by entering the change command mode “CM”
command at the iSP prompt.
Some of the commands you can use for troubleshooting include:
! HC command to display and/or modify hardware configuration, including partitions.
! DL to display the logs stored in iSP.
! DT to display the SP RTC and to set it.
! EN to display environmental information such as power state and temperature status.
See Chapter 3, “Service Processor” for detailed information for using the iSP service
processor functions.
