Chapter 2. Arranging your workspace
To get the most from your server, arrange both the equipment you use and your work
area to suit your needs and the kind of work you do. Your comfort is of foremost
importance, but light sources, air circulation, and the location of electrical outlets also
can affect the way you arrange your workspace.
Comfort
Although no single working position is ideal for everyone, here are a few guidelines
to help you find a position that suits you best.
Sitting in the same position for a long time can cause fatigue. A good chair can make a
big difference. The backrest and seat should adjust independently and provide good
support. The seat should have a curved front to relieve pressure on the thighs. Adjust
the seat so that your thighs are parallel to the floor and your feet are either flat on the
floor or on a footrest.
When using the keyboard, keep your forearms parallel to the floor and your wrists in
a neutral, comfortable position. Try to keep a light touch on the keyboard and your
hands and fingers relaxed. You can change the angle of the keyboard for maximum
comfort by adjusting the position of the keyboard feet.
Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level. Place the
monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, usually 51 to 61 cm (20 to 24 in.), and
position it so you can view it without having to twist your body. Also position other
equipment you use regularly, such as the telephone or a mouse, within easy reach.
Glare and lighting
Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections from overhead lights,
windows, and other light sources. Even reflected light from shiny surfaces can cause
annoying reflections on your monitor screen. Place the monitor at right angles to
windows and other light sources, when possible. Reduce overhead lighting, if
necessary, by turning off lights or using lower wattage bulbs. If you install the
monitor near a window, use curtains or blinds to block the sunlight. You might have
to adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls on the monitor as the room lighting
changes throughout the day.
Where it is impossible to avoid reflections or to adjust the lighting, an antiglare filter
placed over the screen might be helpful. However, these filters might affect the clarity
of the image on the screen; try them only after you have tried all other methods of
reducing glare.
Dust buildup compounds problems that are associated with glare. Remember to clean
your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth that is moistened with a
nonabrasive liquid glass cleaner.
Air circulation
Your server and monitor produce heat. Your server has one or more fans that pull in
fresh air and force out hot air. The monitor lets hot air escape through vents. Blocking
the air vents can cause overheating, which might result in a malfunction or damage.
© Copyright IBM Corp. 2000
9
Place the server and monitor so that nothing blocks the air vents; usually, 15 cm (6
inches) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure that the vented air is not blowing on
someone else.
Electrical outlets and cable lengths
The location of electrical outlets and the length of power cords and cables that connect
to the monitor, printer, and other devices might determine the final placement of your
server.
When arranging your workspace:
•
Avoid the use of extension cords. When possible, plug the server power cords
directly into electrical outlets.
•
Keep power cords and cables neatly routed away from walkways and other
areas where they might get kicked accidentally.
For more information about power cords, refer to the power cord information in this
on-line publication.

Setup and configuration overview
When you use the Setup and Installation CD, you do not need setup diskettes. You can
use the CD to configure any supported IBM server model. The setup program checks
your system BIOS, service processors, and other system hardware to determine if
system updates are available. The setup program provides a list of tasks that are
required to set up your server model. On RAID servers, you can run the ServeRAID
Manager program to create logical drives.
Note: Exact features and functions can vary with different versions of the
ServerGuide software.
When you start the Setup and Installation CD, the following happens:
•
You are prompted for your language, country, and keyboard layout. (This
information is stored and later passed on to the NOS installation program.)
22 IBM® xSeries 220 User’s Reference
•
ServerGuide displays choices for running the configuration programs. For
example:
— The Express Configuration method runs the required programs for your
server, based on the hardware that is detected.
— The Custom Configuration method displays all programs that are available
for your server, and you decide which programs to run.
— The Replicated Configuration method provides the option of duplicating
your setup selections to other servers that are the same xSeries 220 model.
•
If you select the Custom Configuration method, the following programs are
optional. If you select the Express Configuration method, some or all of these
programs are run, depending on the hardware that is detected.
— The Set Date and Time feature is provided so that you do not have to use the
Configuration/ Setup Utility program to access these settings.
— ServerGuide checks the server BIOS and microcode (firmware) levels for
supported options and then checks the CD for a newer level. CD content can
be newer than the hardware. ServerGuide can perform a flash update of the
BIOS.
— The ServeRAID configuration program starts, leading you through the
entire configuration process.
— The Performance Optimizer program easily tunes your server for your
environment.
— ServerGuide creates a System Partition on the default drive.
•
ServerGuide displays a confirmation summary, so that you will know when you
have completed all the required tasks. Then, you are ready to install your NOS.
Notes:
1. Plug and Play adapters are configured automatically. Non-Plug and Play adapters
or non-IBM adapters might require switch settings, additional device drivers, and
installation after the NOS is installed. See the documentation that comes with the
adapter.
2. Diagnostics for your server come on a separate diagnostics CD.
System Partition
ServerGuide creates a 50 MB System Partition on the default drive. The System
Partition contains server-specific utility programs such as service processor disk
operating system (DOS) utilities, system diagnostics, flash BIOS updates, and other
programs.
Note: Programs in the System Partition vary by server model, and not all server
models run utility programs from the System Partition. To determine which
ones do, start the Setup and Installation CD and view the online Overview.
After setup is complete, you can access programs in the System Partition by restarting
the server and pressing Alt+F1 when the prompt is displayed. The System Partition
menu displays the programs that are available on your server model.
Typical NOS installation
You can use ServerGuide to shorten your installation time. ServerGuide provides the
necessary device drivers, based on the hardware that you have and the NOS that you
are installing. The following is a brief explanation of a typical ServerGuide NOS
installation.
Chapter 4. Using the ServerGuide CDs 23
Note: Exact features and functions can vary with different versions of the
ServerGuide software.
•
•
After you have completed the setup process, the operating system installation
program starts. (You will need your copy of the NOS CD to complete the
installation.)
ServerGuide stores information about the server model, service processor, hard
disk controllers, and network adapters. It then checks the CD for newer device
drivers. This information is stored and then passed to the NOS installation
program.
•
With some NOS installations, you can create a NOS Replication Diskette for
setting up additional servers. The diskette will contain the Internet protocol (IP)
address, server name, and other selections.
•
•
ServerGuide presents NOS partition options that are based on your NOS
selection and the installed hard disk drives.
If you are installing the NOS from diskette, ServerGuide displays the required
diskettes that you must create, and the optional diskettes that you might want to
create. The diskettes that you can create are the device driver diskettes for the
installed adapters or controllers.
ServerGuide prompts you to insert your NOS CD and restart the server. At this point,
the installation program for the NOS (for example, Microsoft Windows 2000) takes
control to complete the installation.
Setting up or updating multiple servers
You can use ServerGuide to create diskettes that help you set up or update multiple
servers. You can modify information on the diskettes as you use them to set up or
update other servers.
Note: Availability and function can vary by server model and by the hardware that
is installed.
You can create a Setup Replication Diskette, which contains your hardware
configuration selections. Use this diskette to replicate selections to other servers that
are of the same model.
You can create a NOS Replication Diskette, which contains your server name, domain
name, and other information that you need to complete multiple installations. This
feature supports systems running Windows 2000, Windows NT Server 4.0, and Red
Hat Linux.
Installing your NOS without ServerGuide
If you have already configured the server hardware and you decide not to use
ServerGuide to install your NOS, download the latest NOS installation instructions:
1. Go to http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ support
2. Click Servers.
3. From the Family field, select your server model.
4. Click Software information. The available installation instructions are listed.

Before you begin
Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:
•
on page 32. These guidelines will help you work safely while working with your
server or options.
•
Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical
outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.
•
•
•
Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.
Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.
For a list of supported options for your server, refer to
http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ compat on the World Wide Web.
System reliability considerations
To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:
•
•
Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.
The cover is in place during normal operation, or is removed for no longer than
30 minutes while the server is operating.
•
There is space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work
properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of the
server.
•
•
Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are
provided with the adapters.
A failed fan is replaced within one hour.
Handling static-sensitive devices
Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid
damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bag until you are ready
to install them.
To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:
•
Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around
you.
•
•
•
Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.
Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.
Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the
device.
•
•
While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal
part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity
from the package and from your body.)
Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit
without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its
static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side
up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.
•
Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating
reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

Rotating the stabilizing feet
The feet attached to the bottom cover rotate 90 degrees to provide additional stability
for your server.
Place the server in an upright position; then, rotate the feet a quarter turn away from
the server. Carefully position the server on its feet.
When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it
easier to place the server on its side, so that the system board is facing you. If you do
so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so that they do not break off due to the weight
of the server.

Working with adapters
You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the PCI
slots on the system board of your server. See the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at
http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ compat/ for a list of PCI adapters that your server
supports.
Your server comes with an integrated video controller on the system board. When you
install a video adapter, the server BIOS code automatically disables the integrated
video controller.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI slots on the system
board.

Adapter considerations
Before you install adapters, review the following:
•
Locate the documentation that comes with the adapter, and follow those
instructions in addition to the instructions given in this chapter. If you need to
change switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that
come with the adapter.
•
•
You can install full-length adapters in all PCI slots.
You can install a 32-bit adapter in any of the PCI slots, but you might want to
install it in a 32-bit slot and use the 64-bit slots for 64-bit adapters.
•
•
Your server supports 5.0V and universal PCI adapters; it does not support 3.3V
adapters.
Your server uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters.
Because of this technique, you can install a variety of PCI adapters that currently
do not support sharing of PCI interrupts.
•
The server has two PCI buses. PCI slots 1 and 2 are on PCI bus A, and PCI slots
3, 4, and 5 are on PCI bus B.
Note: PCI bus A is sometimes referred to as bus 0; PCI bus B is sometimes
referred to as bus 1.
40 IBM® xSeries 220 User’s Reference
The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the
system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2,
system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.
•
•
If you plan to use the Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the server, you must
install a Wake on LAN-enabled NIC adapter in PCI slot 1, and install the Wake
on LAN cable that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter to connect this adapter
to the system board. You must use a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter as identified
in the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ compat/ . Only
PCI slot 1 supports a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter. For additional information
on the Wake on LAN function, adapter, and cables, refer to the documentation
that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter.
If you plan to use the optional system-management adapter in the server, you
must install the optional system-management adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI
slot 2 supports the optional system-management adapter. For additional
information on the optional system-management adapter, refer to the
documentation that comes with the adapter.

Installing a hot-swap hard disk drive in bay 5, 6, or 7
If you purchased a hot-swap model, your server contains hardware that you can use
to replace a failed hard disk drive without turning off the server. Therefore, you have
the advantage of continuing to operate your system while a hard disk drive is
removed or installed. These drives are known as hot-swap drives. If these drives are
connected to an optional controller, such as a ServeRAID controller, that supports this
function, and if one of these drives becomes defective, the ServeRAID controller can
rebuild the data from that drive onto another hot-swap drive. Refer to the information
that comes with your ServeRAID controller for details.
Each hot-swap drive has two indicator lights: the hard disk drive activity light and the
hard disk drive status light. When the green hard disk drive activity light is flashing,
the controller is accessing the hard disk drive. When this occurs, the SCSI activity light
on the front of the server also illuminates. The SCSI activity light is illustrated and
status light for a drive is lit continuously, that individual drive is faulty and requires
replacement. When the hard disk drive status light indicates a drive fault, you can
replace a hot-swap drive without turning off the server.
Note: The hard disk drive activity light is also known as the SCSI hard disk drive
activity light.
Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must be mounted in a hot-swap-drive
tray. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Hot-swap-
drive trays come with hot-swap drives.
The hot-swap bays connect to a SCSI backplane. This backplane is the printed circuit
board behind the bay. The backplane controls the SCSI IDs for the hot-swap drives.
The following illustration shows the hot-swap-drive backplane component locations,
as viewed from the front of the server.

a. Ensure that the tray handle is open (that is, perpendicular to the drive).
b. Align the drive tray assembly with the guide rails in the bay.
c. Gently push the drive tray assembly into the bay until the drive stops.
d. Push the tray handle to the closed (locked) position.
e. Check the hard disk drive status light to verify that the hard disk drive is
operating properly.
If the amber hard disk drive status light for a drive is lit continuously, that
individual drive is faulty and needs to be replaced. If the green hard disk
drive activity light is flashing, the drive is being accessed.
Note: If your server has a ServeRAID controller, you might need to reconfigure
your disk arrays after installing hard disk drives. Refer to the information
that comes with your ServeRAID controller.
5. If you have other options to install or remove, do so now.
Installing memory modules
Adding memory to your server is an easy way to make programs run faster. You can
increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory-
module kits. Each kit contains one industry-standard, dual in-line memory module
(DIMM). Your server uses a noninterleaved memory configuration.
Your server comes with a DIMM that is installed on the system board in DIMM
connector 1 (labeled DIMM 1).
Notes:
1. When installing additional memory modules, install the second memory module
in the connector labeled DIMM 2, the third in connector DIMM 3, and the fourth
in connector DIMM 4. (See the following illustration for memory-connector
locations.)
2. Your xSeries 220 server supports 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, and 1 GB DIMMs.
These DIMMs can be installed in any memory slot. Your server supports a
minimum of 128 MB and a maximum of 4GB of system memory. See the
ServerProven list at http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ compat/ for a list of memory
modules for use with your server.
3. Installing or removing DIMMs changes the configuration information in the
server. Therefore, after installing or removing a DIMM, you must save the new
configuration information by using the Configuration/ Setup Utility program.

Installing and removing a microprocessor
Your server comes with one microprocessor, which is installed on the system board. If
you install an additional microprocessor kit, your server can operate as a symmetric
multiprocessing (SMP) server. With SMP, certain operating systems and application
programs can distribute the processing load between the microprocessors. This
enhances performance for database and point-of-sale applications, integrated
manufacturing solutions, and other applications.
Notes:
1. Before you install a new microprocessor, review the documentation that comes
with the microprocessor, so that you can determine whether you need to update
the server basic input/ output system (BIOS) code. The latest level of BIOS code
addresses.
2. Obtain an SMP-capable operating system (optional). For a list of supported
operating systems, see http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ compat/ on the World Wide
Web.

connector U12 (the microprocessor connector that is closer to the power supply).
This is the startup (boot) microprocessor. If you install a microprocessor in
microprocessor connector U11, that one becomes the startup microprocessor, and
the microprocessor that is installed in microprocessor connector U12 is the
application microprocessor. You must also install a VRM when you install a
microprocessor.

SCSI port
Your server has an integrated small computer system interface (SCSI) controller with
an internal connector (J41) on the system board. This controller supports an Ultra160
SCSI internal channel. This channel supports up to 15 SCSI devices. In addition, this
controller uses:
•
•
Double-transition clocking to achieve high transfer rates
Domain name validation to negotiate compatible data transfer speeds with each
device
•
•
Cyclic-redundancy checking (CRC), instead of the usual parity checking, to
significantly improve data reliability
An active terminator on the system board for SCSI bus termination
If you install a SCSI adapter in your server, you can use its SCSI connector to connect
different types of SCSI devices.
Note: If you install a PCI RAID adapter, you can move the SCSI cable from the
system-board SCSI connector to an internal channel connector on the RAID
adapter if you want to control the internal drives from the adapter.
SCSI cabling requirements
For non-hot-swap drive models, you can install five internal SCSI devices by using
the SCSI cable that comes with the server. For hot-swap drive models, you can install
three hot-swap drives plus one non-hot-swap drive by using the SCSI cable that
comes with the server. If you plan to attach external SCSI devices, you must install an
optional SCSI adapter and order additional SCSI cables. To select and order the correct
cables for use with internal or external devices, contact your IBM reseller or IBM
marketing representative. For information about the maximum length of SCSI cable
between the terminated ends of the cable, refer to the ANSI SCSI standards. Adhering
to these standards will help ensure that your server operates properly.
Setting SCSI IDs
Each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI controller must have a unique SCSI ID.
This ID enables the SCSI controller to identify the device and ensure that different
devices on the same SCSI channel do not attempt to transfer data simultaneously.
SCSI devices that are connected to different SCSI channels can have duplicate SCSI
IDs. SCSI IDs for hot-swap drives are automatically set by the hot-swap backplane.
For hot-swap drives, bay 7 has ID 0, bay 6 has ID 1, and bay 5 has ID 2. For non-hot-
swap drives, refer to the information that comes with the drives for instructions to set
their SCSI IDs.
External SCSI devices
To install external SCSI devices, you must first install an optional SCSI PCI adapter.
Refer to the information that is provided with the device for instructions to set its SCSI
ID.

Table 10. 68-pin SCSI connector pin-number assignments
Ethernet port
Your server comes with an integrated Ethernet controller. This controller provides an
interface for connecting to 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps networks and provides full-duplex
(FDX) capability, which enables simultaneous transmission and reception of data on
the Ethernet local area network (LAN).
To access the Ethernet port, connect a Category 3, 4, or 5 unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP) cable to the RJ-45 connector on the rear of the server.
Note: The 100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet standard requires that the cabling in the
network be Category 5 or higher.
Configuring the Ethernet controller
When you connect your server to the network, the Ethernet controller automatically
detects the data-transfer rate (10 Mbps or 100 Mbps) on the network and then sets the
controller to operate at the appropriate rate. In addition, if the Ethernet port that your
server is connected to supports auto-negotiation, the Ethernet controller will set the
appropriate duplex state. That is, the Ethernet controller will adjust to the network
data rate, whether the data rate is standard Ethernet (10BASE-T), Fast Ethernet
(100BASE-TX), half duplex (HDX), or full duplex (FDX). The controller supports half-
duplex (HDX) and full-duplex (FDX) modes at both speeds.
The Ethernet controller is a PCI Plug and Play device. You do not need to set any
jumpers or configure the controller for your operating system before you use the
Ethernet controller. However, you must install a device driver to enable your
operating system to address the Ethernet controller. The device drivers are provided
on the ServerGuide CDs.
Failover for redundant Ethernet
The IBM Netfinity 10/ 100 Ethernet Adapter or the IBM 10/ 100 Etherjet™ PCI family
of adapters are optional redundant network interface cards (NIC adapters) that you
can install in your server. If you install this NIC adapter and connect it to the same
logical segment as the primary Ethernet controller, you can configure the server to
support a failover function. You can configure either the integrated Ethernet controller
or the NIC adapter as the primary Ethernet controller. In failover mode, if the primary
Ethernet controller detects a link failure, all Ethernet traffic that is associated with it is
switched to the redundant (secondary) controller. This switching occurs without any
user intervention. When the primary link is restored to an operational state, the
Ethernet traffic switches back to the primary Ethernet controller.
High-performance Ethernet modes
Your Ethernet controller supports optional modes, such as teaming, priority packets,
and virtual LANs, which provide higher performance and throughput for your
server.
Chapter 5. Installing options 69
Teaming Mode: Your Ethernet controller provides options, called teaming options.
These options increase throughput and fault tolerance when running with Windows
NT 4.0 or NetWare 4.1x or later.
•
•
•
Adapter fault tolerance (AFT) provides automatic redundancy for your adapter.
If the primary adapter fails, the secondary adapter takes over. Adapter fault
tolerance supports from two to four adapters per team.
Adaptive load balancing (ALB) enables you to balance the transmission data
flow among two to four adapters. ALB also includes the AFT option. You can use
ALB with any 100BASE-TX switch.
Cisco Fast EtherChannel (FEC) creates a team of two to four adapters to
increase transmission and reception thoughput. FEC also includes the AFT
option. You can use FEC only with a switch that has FEC capability.
Teaming requires you to install at least one additional Ethernet adapter. For additional
information about the teaming modes, refer to the documentation that comes with
these additional adapters.
Priority Packet Mode: Priority Packet is a traffic-prioritization utility that you can
use to set up filters to process high-priority traffic before normal traffic. You can send
information from critical nodes or applications with an indicated priority. Because
you set this priority at the host or entry point of the network, the network devices can
base forwarding decisions on priority information that is defined in the packet.
Priority Packet information is available on the IBM Networking Web site at
http:/ / www.ibm.com/ networking/ support
Priority Packet prioritizes traffic based on priority filters. These are parameters that
you assign to outgoing (transmit) packets. Using the Priority Filter Wizard, you can
set up predefined or custom priority filters based on a node (MAC) address, Ethernet
type, or by various properties of the protocol and port. Priority Packet provides two
different methods for prioritizing traffic: IEEE 802.1p tagging and High Priority
Queue.
IEEE 802.1p is a new IEEE standard for tagging, or adding additional bytes of
information to packets with different priority levels. Packets are tagged with 4
additional bytes, which increase the packet size and indicate a priority level. When
you send these packets out on the network, the higher priority packets are transferred
first. Priority packet tagging (also known as Traffic Class Expediting) enables the
adapter to work with other elements of the network (such as switches and routers) to
deliver priority packets first. You can assign specific priority levels from 0 (low) to 7
(high).
You can assign values to packets based on their priority when you use the IEEE 802.1p
standard for packet tagging. This method requires a network infrastructure that
supports packet tagging. The routing devices that receive and transfer these packets
on your network must support 802.1p for tagging to be effective.
After you set up the priority filter in Priority Packet, you must start IBMSet and select
802.1p/802.1Q Tagging on the Advanced tab.
Note: IEEE 802.1p tagging increases the size of the packets that it tags. Some hubs
and switches will not recognize the larger packets and will drop them. Check
your hub or switch documentation to see if they support 802.1p. (You can
configure the switch to strip the tags from the packets and send it on to the
next destination as normal traffic.) If these devices do not support 802.1p or if
you are not sure, use High Priority Queue (HPQ) to prioritize network traffic.
70 IBM® xSeries 220 User’s Reference
The requirements for effectively using IEEE 802.1p tagging are:
•
The other devices receiving and routing 802.1p tagged packets must support
802.1p.
•
The adapters on these devices must support 802.1p. The Ethernet controller in
your xSeries 220 and all IBM Netfinity10/ 100 Ethernet Security Adapters
support 802.1p.
•
•
The adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
If you are setting up VLANs and packet tagging on the same adapter,
802.1p/ 802.1Q tagging must be enabled on the IBMSet Advanced tab.
If your network infrastructure devices do not support IEEE 802.1p or you are not sure,
you can still define filters and send packets as high priority. While High Priority
Queue (HPQ) does not provide the precise priority levels of 802.1p tagging, it does
assign traffic as either high or low priority and sends high-priority packets first.
Therefore, if there are multiple applications on a system that is sending packets, the
packets from the application with a filter are sent out first. HPQ does not change
network routing, nor does it add any information to the packets.
To assign HPQ, you can specify it using Priority Packet when you create or assign a
filter.
To effectively use HPQ tagging, the adapter cannot be assigned to an adapter team.
Virtual LAN Mode: A virtual LAN (VLAN) is a logical grouping of network devices
that are put together as a LAN, regardless of their physical grouping or collision
domains. Using VLANs increases network performance and improves network
security.
VLANs offer you the ability to group users and devices together into logical
workgroups. This can simplify network administration when you are connecting
clients to servers that are geographically dispersed across a building, campus, or
enterprise network.
Normally, VLANs are configured at the switch, and any computer can be a member of
one VLAN per installed network adapter. Your Ethernet controller supersedes this by
communicating directly with the switch, enabling multiple VLANs on a single
network adapter (up to 64 VLANs).
To set up VLAN membership, your Ethernet controller must be attached to a switch
that has VLAN capability. You also need to use Windows NT 4.0 or later, or Novell
NetWare 4.1x or later.
Notes:
1. Windows NT versions prior to 4.0 do not support VLANs.
2. VLANs require NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3.0 and the NDIS driver hotfix from
Microsoft.
3. In Windows NT, VLANs cannot be implemented on controllers that have been
configured for teaming options. NetWare can support teaming options and
VLANs on the same adapters.
Chapter 5. Installing options 71
To join a VLAN from Windows NT 4.0:
1. Create a VLAN on the switch. Use the parameters that you assign there to join the
VLAN from the server. Refer to your switch documentation for more information.
2. In the Control Panel window, double-click the Network icon.
3. On the Adapters tab, select the adapter that you want to be on the VLAN, and
click Properties.
4. In IBMSet, click Join VLAN. Note that VLANs cannot be assigned to adapters
that are already defined to have an adapter teaming option.
5. Type the VLAN ID and VLAN name. The VLAN ID must match the VLAN ID of
the switch. The ID range is from 1 to 1000. The VLAN name is for information
only and does not need to match the name on the switch.
6. Click Join VLAN. Repeat steps 3 through 5 for each VLAN that you want the
server to join. The VLANs that you add are listed on the Adapters tab.
7. Click Close and restart the computer.

POST
When you turn on the server, it performs a series of tests to check the operation of
server components and some of the options installed in the server. This series of tests
is called the power-on self-test, or POST.
If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds, and the first
window of your operating system or application program appears.
If POST detects a problem, more than one beep sounds, and an error message appears
page 79 for more information.
Notes:
1. If you have a power-on password set, you must type the password and press
Enter, when prompted, before POST will continue.
2. A single problem might cause several error messages. When this occurs, work to
correct the cause of the first error message. After you correct the cause of the first
error message, the other error messages usually will not occur the next time you
run the test.
POST beep code descriptions
Beep codes are sounded in a series of beeps. For example, a 1-2-4 beep code sounds
like one beep, a pause, two consecutive beeps, another pause, and four more
consecutive beeps.
The possible types of beep codes that your server might emit include the following:
No beeps If no beep occurs after your server completes POST, call for service.
Continuous beep
Your startup (boot) microprocessor has failed, or your system board or
speaker subsystem might contain a failing component. If the system
continues through POST with no errors, call for service. If no video appears,
the startup microprocessor has failed; replace the startup microprocessor.
One short beep
One beep indicates that your server successfully completed POST. POST
detected no configuration or functional errors. One beep also occurs after
your server completes POST, if you type an incorrect power-on password.
Two short beeps
POST encountered an error. The Configuration/ Setup Utility program will
display additional information; follow the instructions that appear on the
messages that might appear.
Three short beeps
A system-memory error has occurred. This combination occurs only if the
video basic input/ output system (BIOS) cannot display the error message.
Replace the failing memory module.
Chapter 6. Solving problems 75
Repeating short beeps
The system board might contain a failing component, your keyboard might
be defective, or a key on the keyboard might be stuck. Ensure that:
1. Nothing is resting on the keyboard and pressing a key.
2. No key is stuck.
3. The keyboard cable is connected correctly to the keyboard and to the
correct connector on the server.
Running the diagnostic tests can isolate the server component that failed, but
you must have your system serviced. If the error message remains, call for
service.
Note: If you just connected a new mouse or other pointing device, turn off
the server and disconnect that device. Wait at least 5 seconds; then,
turn on the server. If the error message goes away, replace the device.
One long and one short beep
POST encountered an error on a video adapter. If you are using the integrated
video controller, call for service. If you are using an optional video adapter,
replace the failing video adapter.
One long and two short beeps
A video I/ O adapter ROM is not readable, or the video subsystem is
defective. If you hear this beep combination twice, both the system board and
an optional video adapter have failed the test. This beep combination might
also indicate that the system board contains a failing component.
One long and three short beeps
The system-board video subsystem has not detected a monitor connection to
the server. Ensure that the monitor is connected to the server. If the problem
persists, replace the monitor.
Two long and two short beeps
POST does not support the optional video adapter. This beep combination
occurs when you install a video adapter that is incompatible with your server.
Replace the optional video adapter with one that the server supports, or use
the integrated video controller.

Description
One or more of the following might be causing the problem.
All
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
A failing SCSI device (adapter, drive, controller)
An improper SCSI configuration
Duplicate SCSI IDs in the same SCSI chain
An improperly installed SCSI terminator
A defective SCSI terminator
An improperly installed cable
A defective cable
Action:
Verify that:
•
The external SCSI devices are turned on. External SCSI devices must
be turned on before the server.
•
•
•
The cables for all external SCSI devices are connected correctly.
The last device in each SCSI chain is terminated properly.
The SCSI devices are configured correctly.
If the above items are correct, run the diagnostic programs to obtain
additional information about the failing device. If the error remains or
recurs, call for service.
Diagnostic programs and error messages
The server diagnostic programs are stored in upgradeable read-only memory (ROM)
on the system board. These programs are the primary method of testing the major
components of your server.
Diagnostic error messages indicate that a problem exists; they are not intended to be
used to identify a failing part. Troubleshooting and servicing of complex problems
that are indicated by error messages should be performed by trained service
personnel.
Sometimes the first error to occur causes additional errors. In this case, the server
displays more than one error message. Always follow the suggested action
instructions for the first error message that appears.
The following sections contain the error codes that might appear in the detailed test
log and summary log when running the diagnostic programs.
The error code format is as follows:
fff-ttt-iii-date-cc-text message
where:
fff
is the three-digit function code that indicates the function being tested when

Recovering the BIOS code
If the BIOS code has become damaged, such as from a power failure during a flash
update, you can recover the BIOS code using the flash ROM page-swap jumper (J38)
and a BIOS flash diskette.
Note: You can obtain a BIOS flash diskette from one of the following sources:
•
•
Use the ServerGuide program to make a BIOS flash diskette.
Download a BIOS flash diskette from the World Wide Web. Go to
http:/ / www.ibm.com/ pc/ support/ , select IBM Server Support, and
make the selections for your server.
•
Contact your IBM service representative.
The flash memory of your server consists of a primary page and a backup page. The
J38 jumper controls which page is used to start the server. If the BIOS code in the
primary page is damaged, you can use the backup page to start the server; then, start
the BIOS flash diskette to restore the BIOS code to the primary page.
To recover the BIOS code, do the following:
1. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords; then, remove the cover.
2. Locate jumper J38 on the system board.
Switch block
Flash ROM
page-swap
jumper (J38)
3. Move J38 to the "lo" setting (pins 2 and 3) to enable BIOS recovery mode.
4. Reconnect all external cables and power cords and turn on the peripheral devices.
5. Insert the BIOS flash diskette into the diskette drive.
6. Restart the server. The system begins the power-on self-test (POST).
7. Select 1 - Update POST/BIOS from the menu that contains various flash (update)
options.
8. When prompted as to whether you want to save the current code to a diskette,
press N.
9. When prompted to choose a language, select a language (from 0 to 7) and press
Enter to accept your choice.
10. Do not restart your system at this time.
11. Remove the BIOS flash diskette from the diskette drive.
Chapter 6. Solving problems 97
12. Turn off the server.
13. Move jumper J38 to the "hi" setting (pins 1 and 2) to return to normal startup
mode.
14. Restart the server.

Troubleshooting the Ethernet controller
This section provides troubleshooting information for problems that might occur with
the 10/ 100 Mbps Ethernet controller.
Network connection problems
If the Ethernet controller cannot connect to the network, check the following:
•
Make sure that the cable is installed correctly.
The network cable must be securely attached at all connections. If the cable is
attached but the problem persists, try a different cable.
If you set the Ethernet controller to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category
5 cabling.
If you directly connect two workstations (without a hub), or if you are not using
a hub with X ports, use a crossover cable.
Note: To determine whether a hub has an X port, check the port label. If the
label contains an X, the hub has an X port.
•
•
Determine if the hub supports auto-negotiation. If not, try configuring the
integrated Ethernet controller manually to match the speed and duplex mode of
the hub.
Check the LAN activity light on the front of the server. The LAN activity light
illuminates when the Ethernet controller sends or receives data over the
Ethernet network. If the LAN activity light is off, make sure that the hub and
network are operating and that the correct device drivers are loaded.
Make sure that you are using the correct device drivers, supplied with your
server.
•
•
•
Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem.
Make sure that the device drivers on the client and server are using the same
protocol.
•
Test the Ethernet controller.
How you test the Ethernet controller depends on which operating system you
are using (see the Ethernet controller device driver README file).

Ethernet controller problem
Suggested Action
The PCI BIOS interrupt settings are incorrect.
The server stops running
when loading device drivers.
Check the following:
•
Determine if the interrupt (IRQ) setting assigned to the Ethernet controller is also
assigned to another device in the Configuration/ Setup Utility program.
Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not
function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try
changing the IRQ assigned to the Ethernet controller or the other device. For
example, for NetWare Versions 3 and 4 it is recommended that disk controllers
not share interrupts with LAN controllers.
•
•
Make sure that you are using the most recent device driver available from the
World Wide Web.
Run the network diagnostic program.
If the problem remains, call for service.
Check the following:
The LAN activity light does
not light.
•
•
•
•
Make sure that you have loaded the network device drivers.
The network might be idle. Try sending data from this workstation.
Run diagnostics on the LEDs.
The function of this LED can be changed by device driver load parameters. If
necessary, remove any LED parameter settings when you load the device drivers.
Data is incorrect or sporadic. Check the following:
•
Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when operating the server at 100
Mbps.
•
Make sure that the cables do not run close to noise-inducing sources like
fluorescent lights.
The Ethernet controller
stopped working when
another adapter was added
to the server.
Check the following:
•
•
•
•
Make sure that the cable is connected to the Ethernet controller.
Make sure that your PCI system BIOS code is current.
Reseat the adapter.
Determine if the interrupt (IRQ) setting assigned to the Ethernet adapter is also
assigned to another device in the Configuration/ Setup Utility program.
Although interrupt sharing is allowed for PCI devices, some devices do not
function well when they share an interrupt with a dissimilar PCI device. Try
changing the IRQ assigned to the Ethernet adapter or the other device.
If the problem remains, call for service.
Check the following:
The Ethernet controller
stopped working without
apparent cause.
•
•
•
Run diagnostics for the Ethernet controller.

The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and workmanship
and 2) conforms to IBM’s Official Published Specifications. The warranty period for a
Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its Date of Installation. The date
on your sales receipt is the Date of Installation, unless IBM or your reseller informs
you otherwise.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if approved by IBM to provide
warranty service, will provide repair and exchange service for the Machine, without
charge, under the type of service designated for the Machine and will manage and
install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, and IBM or
your reseller are unable to either 1) make it do so or 2) replace it with one that is at
least functionally equivalent, you may return it to your place of purchase and your
money will be refunded. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good
working order.
Extent of Warranty
The warranty does not cover the repair or exchange of a Machine resulting from
misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment,
improper maintenance by you, or failure caused by a product for which IBM is not
responsible. The warranty is voided by removal or alteration of Machine or parts
identification labels.
THESE WARRANTIES ARE YOUR EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REPLACE
ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR
CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. THESE WARRANTIES GIVE YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS AND
YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM JURISDICTION
TO JURISDICTION. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE
EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO
THE ABOVE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN
THAT EVENT, SUCH WARRANTIES ARE LIMITED IN DURATION TO THE
WARRANTY PERIOD. NO WARRANTIES APPLY AFTER THAT PERIOD.
Items Not Covered by Warranty
IBM does not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Machine.
Unless specified otherwise, IBM provides non-IBM machines WITHOUT
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Any technical or other support provided for a Machine under warranty, such as
assistance via telephone with "how-to" questions and those regarding Machine set-up
and installation, will be provided WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, contact your reseller or IBM. In the
United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call IBM at 1-800-565-3344. (In
Toronto, call 416-383-3344.) You may be required to present proof of purchase.
IBM or your reseller provides certain types of repair and exchange service, either at
your location or at a service center, to keep Machines in, or restore them to,
conformance with their Specifications. IBM or your reseller will inform you of the
available types of service for a Machine based on its country of installation. IBM may
repair the failing Machine or exchange it at its discretion.
120 IBM® xSeries 220 User’s Reference
When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or
your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You
represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not
be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the
item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced
item.
Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed on
a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine
and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or
upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and
their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty
service status of the removed part.
Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all
features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.
You also agree to
1. ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent
its exchange;
2. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
3. where applicable, before service is provided
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request
procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,
c. provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your
facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations, and
d. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine’s location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM’s
possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the
transportation charges.
Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary
or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your
reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine
prior to its return.
Production Status
Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some
cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed.
Regardless of the Machine’s production status, IBM’s appropriate warranty terms
apply.
Limitation of Liability
Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM’s part or other liability,
you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the
basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental
breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is liable for
no more than
1. damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and
tangible personal property; and
2. the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000
(or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months’ charges
apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.
Appendix A. Product warranties and notices 121
This limit also applies to IBM’s suppliers and your reseller. It is the maximum for
which IBM, its suppliers, and your reseller are collectively responsible.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS IBM LIABLE FOR ANY OF THE
FOLLOWING: 1) THIRD-PARTY CLAIMS AGAINST YOU FOR DAMAGES
(OTHER THAN THOSE UNDER THE FIRST ITEM LISTED ABOVE); 2) LOSS OF,
OR DAMAGE TO, YOUR RECORDS OR DATA; OR 3) SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,
OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OR FOR ANY ECONOMIC CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS OR SAVINGS), EVEN IF IBM, ITS
SUPPLIERS OR YOUR RESELLER IS INFORMED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION
OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE
LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
