1-3 Server Chassis Features
The 1020S-8 is a high-end, scaleable server platform. The following is a general
outline of the main features of the SC813S+-500 server chassis.
System Power
The SC813S+-500 features a single redundant 500W power supply. If it fails, the
system will shut down and you will need to replace the power supply unit.
SCSI Subsystem
The SCSI subsystem supports up to six 80-pin SCA Ultra320 SCSI hard drives,
which are hot-swappable. Any standard 3.5" drives are supported. SCA = Single
Connection Attachment.) The SCSI drives are connected to a duale channel SCA
backplane with SAF-TE. A RAID controller card can be used with the SCA back-
plane to provide data security.
Note: The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-
swap capability of the SCSI drives.
PCI Expansion Slots
The SC813S+-500 chassis supports the use of one low profile expansion card
(PCI-X 133 MHz or PCI-Express x8) and one full-height, half-length expansion card
(PCI-X 100 MHz or PCI-Express x8). (PCI-X riser cards have been preinstalled,
PCI-E riser cards are sold separately.)
Front Control Panel
The control panel provides you with system monitoring and control. LEDs indicate
system power, HDD activity, network activity and overheat/fan fail. A main power
button and a system reset button are also included.
I/O Backplane
The I/O backplane on the SC813S+-500 provides two PCI expansion slots, one
COM port, a VGA port, two USB 2.0 ports, PS/2 mouse and keyboard ports and
two gigabit Ethernet ports.

Chapter 2
Server Installation
2-1 Overview
This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to get your 1020S-8 up and running.
Following these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system
operational within a minimum amount of time. This quick setup assumes that your
1020S-8 system has come to you with the processors and memory preinstalled. If
your system is not already fully integrated with a serverboard, processors, system
memory etc., please turn to the chapter or section noted in each step for details
on installing specific components.
2-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the system was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the server itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold the 1020S-8. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need
it placed near a grounded power outlet. Read the Rack and Server Precautions in
the next section.
2-3 Preparing for Setup
The box the 1020S-8 was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system
into the rack. Follow the steps in the order given to complete the installation process
in a minimum amount of time. Please read this section in its entirety before you
begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
Choosing a Setup Location
- Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door
completely (~25 inches).
- Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
- This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated
equipment rooms, service closets, etc.).
Warnings and Precautions!
!
!
Rack Precautions
• Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the
floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them.
• In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack.
• In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
• Always make sure the rack is stable before extending a component from the
rack.
• You should extend only one component at a time - extending two or more simul-
taneously may cause the rack to become unstable.
Server Precautions
• Review the electrical and general safety precautions in Chapter 4.
• Determine the placement of each component in the rack before you install the
rails.
• Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and
then work up.
• Use a regulating uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
• Allow the hot plug SCSI drives and power supply units to cool before touching
them.
• Always keep the rack's front door and all panels and components on the servers
closed when not servicing to maintain proper cooling.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Rack Mounting Considerations
Ambient Operating Temperature
If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tem-
perature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature
of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equip-
ment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated
ambient temperature (Tmra).
Reduced Airflow
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that the amount of airflow required
for safe operation is not compromised.
Mechanical Loading
Equipment should be mounted into a rack so that a hazardous condition does
not arise due to uneven mechanical loading.
Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the power
supply circuitry and the effect that any possible overloading of circuits might
have on overcurrent protection and power supply wiring. Appropriate consid-
eration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
Reliable Ground
A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself
should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply con-
nections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of
power strips, etc.).

2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the server into a rack unit with the
rack rails provided. If the server has already been mounted into a rack, you can
skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market,
which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer
to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rails
You should have received a rack mounting kit with the 1020S-8. The kit includes
two sets of chassis rails (four pieces total, two of which are already installed on
the chassis) and two sets of rack rails (four pieces total). Figure 2-1 displays the
two right-side chassis rails and the two right-side rack rails. Note that two of the
four chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) are already attached to the chassis.
Installing the Rack Rails
Begin by joining one set of rack rails corresponding to either the left or the right side
of the rack. Do this by aligning the studs of one rail with the holes of the other rail.
Push the studs into the grooved holes and then push the rail to slide the studs to
the end of the groove. Repeat this with the rack rails used for the other side.
Next, determine where you want to place the server in the rack. (See Rack and
Server Precautions in Section 2-3.) Position the assembled rack rails at the
desired location in the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the
brackets provided. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making
sure both are at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
Locking Tabs: Both of the two chassis rails on each side have a locking tab (four
total), which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when
installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal operating position.
Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when extended from the rack.
This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it
out for servicing. The two sets of locking tabs mean there are two locked positions
when the chassis is extended from the rack, allowing easy access when servicing
the system. Note that on one side, you push the locking tab up to release it and
on the other side you push it down to release.

Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Chassis Rails
Two of the chassis rails (Chassis Rail 1) should have already been preattached
- one to each side of the chassis. Attach the second set of chassis rails (Chassis
Rail 2) directly to the chassis with the screws provided. Chassis Rail 2 should
be positioned just behind Chassis Rail 1 (see Figure 2-2). Do this for both sides
of the chassis.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The
next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the
chassis rails with the front of the rack rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack
rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may have to depress the lock-
ing tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click".

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
If you are installing the 1020S-8 into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given
on the previous pages for rack installation. The only difference in the installation
procedure will be the positioning of the rack brackets to the rack. They should be
spaced apart just enough to accommodate the width of the telco rack.

2-5 Checking the Serverboard Setup
After you install the 1020S-8 in the rack, you will need to open the unit to make sure
the serverboard is properly installed and all the connections have been made.
1. Accessing the inside of the server (see Figure 2-5)
First, grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it
locks (you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the
chassis to release the top cover. There is a large rectangular recess in the
middle front of the top cover to help you push the cover away from you until it
stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server.
2. Check the CPUs (processors)
You may have one or two processors already installed into the serverboard. Each
processor needs its own heatsink. See Chapter 5 for instructions on processor
and heatsink installation.
3. CPU Speed
The CPU speed should automatically be detected so you will not need to change
any jumpers or settings in the BIOS Setup utility.
4. Check the system memory
Your server system may have come with system memory already installed. Make
sure all DIMMs are fully seated in their slots. For details on adding system
memory, refer to Chapter 5.
5. Installing add-on cards
If desired, you can install add-on cards to the system. See Chapter 5 for details
on installing PCI add-on cards.
6. Check all cable connections and airflow
Make sure all power and data cables are properly connected and not blocking
the chassis airflow. See Chapter 5 for details on cable connections.

2-6 Checking the Drive Bay Setup
Next, you should check to make sure the peripheral drives and the SCSI drives
have been properly installed and all connections have been made.
1. Accessing the drive bays
All drives are accessable from the front of the server. For servicing the CD-ROM
and floppy drives, you will need to remove the top chassis cover. The SCSI
disk drives can be installed and removed from the front of the chassis without
removing the top chassis cover or powering down the system.
2. CD-ROM and floppy disk drives
A slim CD-ROM and a floppy drive should be preinstalled in your server. Refer
to Chapter 6 if you need to reinstall a CD-ROM and/or floppy disk drive to the
system.
3. Check the SCSI disk drives
Depending upon your system's configuration, your system may have one or
more drives already installed. If you need to install SCSI drives, please refer to
Chapter 6.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
4. Check the airflow
Airflow is provided by four 4-cm counter-rotating fans. The system component
layout was carefully designed to direct the airflow to the components that gener-
ate the most heat. Note that all power and data cables have been routed in such
a way that they do not block the airflow generated by the fans.
5. Supplying power to the system
The last thing you must do is to provide power to the system. Plug the power
cord from the power supply module into a high-quality power strip that offers
protection from electrical noise and power surges. It is recommended that you
use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Finish by depressing the power
button on the front of the chassis to start the system.

Overview
There are several LEDs on the control panel as well as others on the SCSI drive
carriers to keep you constantly informed of the overall status of the system as well
as the activity and health of specific components. There are also two buttons on
the chassis control panel. This chapter explains the meanings of all LED indica-
tors and the appropriate response you may need to take.
3-2
Control Panel Buttons
There are two push-buttons located on the front of the chassis. These are (in
order from left to right) a reset button and a power on/off button.
ꢀ
Reset: Use the reset switch to reboot the system.
ꢀ
Power: The main power switch is used to apply or remove power from the
power supply to the server system. Turning off system power with this button
removes the main power but keeps standby power supplied to the system.

Control Panel LEDs
The control panel located on the front of the SC813S-500 chassis has five LEDs.
These LEDs provide you with critical information related to different parts of the
system. This section explains what each LED indicates when illuminated and any
corrective action you may need to take.
ꢀ
Overheat/Fan Fail: When this LED flashes it indicates a fan failure. When
on continuously (on and not flashing) it indicates an overheat condition, which
may be caused by cables obstructing the airflow in the system or the ambient
room temperature being too warm. Check the routing of the cables and make
sure all fans are present and operating normally. You should also check to make
sure that the chassis covers are installed. Finally, verify that the heatsinks are
installed properly (see Chapter 5). This LED will remain flashing or on as long as
the overheat condition exists.

HDD: Indicates IDE channel activity. On the 1020S-8, this light indicates
SCSI and/or CD-ROM drive activity when flashing.
ꢀ
Power: Indicates power is being supplied to the system's power supply
units. This LED should normally be illuminated when the system is operating.

SCSI Drive Carrier LEDs
Each SCSI drive carrier has two LEDs.
ꢀ
Green: When illuminated, the green LED on the front of the SCSI drive car-
rier indicates drive activity. A connection to the SCSI SCA backplane enables this
LED to blink on and off when that particular drive is being accessed.
ꢀ
Red: The SAF-TE compliant backplane activates the red LED to indicate a
drive failure. If one of the SCSI drives fail, you should be notified by your system
management software. Please refer to Chapter 6 for instructions on replacing failed
SCSI drives.

4-1 Electrical Safety Precautions
!
Basic electrical safety precautions should be followed to protect yourself from
harm and the AS1020S-8 from damage:
ꢀBe aware of the locations of the power on/off switch on the chassis as well as
the room's emergency power-off switch, disconnection switch or electrical
outlet. If an electrical accident occurs, you can then quickly remove power
from the system.
ꢀ Do not work alone when working with high voltage components.
ꢀ Power should always be disconnected from the system when removing or
installing main system components, such as the serverboard, memory
modules and the CD-ROM and floppy drives (not necessary for SCSI drives).
When disconnecting power, you should first power down the system with the
operating system and then unplug the power cords from all the power supply
modules in the system.
ꢀ When working around exposed electrical circuits, another person who is
familiar with the power-off controls should be nearby to switch off the power
if necessary.
ꢀ Use only one hand when working with powered-on electrical equipment. This
is to avoid making a complete circuit, which will cause electrical shock.
Use extreme caution when using metal tools, which can easily damage any
electrical components or circuit boards they come into contact with.
ꢀ Do not use mats designed to decrease electrostatic discharge as protection
from electrical shock. Instead, use rubber mats that have been specifically
designed as electrical insulators.
ꢀ The power supply power cord must include a grounding plug and must be
plugged into grounded electrical outlets.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
ꢀServerboard Battery: CAUTION - There is a danger of explosion if the onboard
battery is installed upside down, which will reverse its polarities (see Figure
4-1). This battery must be replaced only with the same or an equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to
the manufacturer's instructions.
ꢀ CD-ROM Laser: CAUTION - this server may have come equipped with a CD-
ROM drive. To prevent direct exposure to the laser beam and hazardous
radiation exposure, do not open the enclosure or use the unit in any
unconventional way.
4-2 General Safety Precautions
!
Follow these rules to ensure general safety:
ꢀ Keep the area around the 1020S-8 clean and free of clutter.
ꢀThe 1020S-8 weighs approximately 38 lbs (17.3 kg) when fully loaded. When
lifting the system, two people at either end should lift slowly with their feet
spread out to distribute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift
with your legs.
ꢀ Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have been
removed away from the system or on a table so that they won't accidentally
be stepped on.
ꢀWhile working on the system, do not wear loose clothing such as neckties and
unbuttoned shirt sleeves, which can come into contact with electrical circuits
or be pulled into a cooling fan.
ꢀRemove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are excellent metal
conductors that can create short circuits and harm you if they come into
contact with printed circuit boards or areas where power is present.
ꢀAfter accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up and secure
it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensuring that all connections
have been made.

Chapter 4: System Safety
4-3 ESD Precautions
!
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical
charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to
neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic components and printed
circuit boards. The following measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this
difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:
ꢀ Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
ꢀ Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic
bags until ready for use.
ꢀTouch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
ꢀ Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which
may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.
ꢀ Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral
chips, memory modules or contacts.
ꢀ When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
ꢀ Put the serverboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when
not in use.
ꢀFor grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

Advanced Serverboard Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install processors and heatsinks to the
H8DSR-8 serverboard, connect the data and power cables and install add-on
cards. All serverboard jumpers and connections are described and a layout and
quick reference chart are included in this chapter. Remember to close the chas-
sis completely when you have finished working on the serverboard to protect and
cool the system sufficiently.
5-1 Handling the Serverboard
Static electrical discharge can damage electronic components. To prevent dam-
age to printed circuit boards, it is important to handle them very carefully (see
Chapter 4). Also note that the size and weight of the serverboard can cause
it to bend if handled improperly, which may result in damage. To prevent the
serverboard from bending, keep one hand under the center of the board to sup-
port it when handling. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect
your equipment from static discharge.
Precautions
• Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
• Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
• Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
• When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
• Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic
bags when not in use.
Unpacking
The serverboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When
unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected.

5-2 Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis
All serverboards and motherboards have standard mounting holes to fit different
types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both
the serverboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic
and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they
ground the serverboard to the chassis. Make sure that the metal standoffs click in
or are screwed in tightly.
1. Check the compatibility of the serverboard ports and the I/O shield
The H8DSR-8 serverboard requires a chassis that can support extended ATX
boards of 12" x 13.05" in size, such as the SC813S+-500. Make sure that the I/O
ports on the serverboard align with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the
rear of the chassis.
2. Mounting the serverboard onto the mainboard tray in the chassis
Carefully mount the serverboard onto the mainboard tray by aligning the serverboard
mounting holes with the raised metal standoffs in the tray. Insert screws into all
the mounting holes in the serverboard that line up with the standoffs. Then use a
screwdriver to secure the serverboard to the mainboard tray - tighten until just snug
(if too tight you might strip the threads). Metal screws provide an electrical contact
to the serverboard ground to provide a continuous ground for the system.
5-3 Processor and Heatsink Installation
Exercise extreme caution when handling and installing the proces-
sor. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it be-
fore adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
!
Installing the Processor (install to the CPU#1 socket first)
1. Lift the lever on CPU socket #1 until
it points straight up.

Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup
2. Use your thumb and your index fin-
ger to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on
the CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU.
Both are marked with a triangle.
Triangles
3. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1
of the socket. Once aligned, carefully
place the CPU into the socket. Do not
drop the CPU on the socket, move the
CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the
CPU against the socket or against any
pins of the socket, which may damage
the CPU and/or the socket.
4. With the CPU inserted into the
socket, inspect the four corners of the
CPU to make sure that it is properly
installed and flush with the socket.
5. Gently press the CPU socket lever
down until it locks in the plastic tab.
For a dual-processor system, repeat
these steps to install another CPU into
the CPU#2 socket.
Note: if using a single processor, only
CPU 1 DIMM slots are addressable.

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
Installing the Heatsinks
To install the heatsink (SNK-P0012, optional), do not apply any thermal compound
to the heatsink or CPU die - the proper amount has already been applied. Place the
heatsink directly on the CPU so that the two mounting holes are aligned with those
on the CPU backplate. Make sure the heatsink sits completely flat on the CPU - if
not completely flat, the space between the two will degrade the heat dissipation
function of the heatsink, which may cause the processor to overheat. Screw in the
two screws until just snug (do not fully tighten), then finish by fully tightening both
screws (see Figure 5-1).

5-4 Connecting Cables
Now that the processors are installed, the next step is to connect the cables to
the serverboard. These include the data (ribbon) cables for the peripherals and
control panel and the power cables.
Connecting Data Cables
The ribbon cables used to transfer data from the peripheral devices have been
carefully routed in preconfigured systems to prevent them from blocking the flow
of cooling air that moves through the system from front to back. If you need to
disconnect any of these cables, you should take care to reroute them as they
were originally after reconnecting them (make sure the red wires connect to the
pin 1 locations). If you are configuring the system, keep the airflow in mind when
routing the cables. The following data cables (with their serverboard connector
locations noted) should be connected. See the serverboard layout diagram in this
chapter for connector locations.
ꢀ CD-ROM cable (JIDE1)
ꢀ Floppy Drive cable (JFDD1)
ꢀ SCSI cables (JA1, JB1)
ꢀ Control Panel cable (JF1, see next page)
Connecting Power Cables
The H8DSR-8 has a 20-pin primary power supply connector "J1B4" for connec-
tion to the ATX power supply. Connect the appropriate connector from the power
supply to J1B4 connector to supply power to the serverboard. See the Connector
Definitions section in this chapter for power connector pin definitions.
In addition, your power supply must be connected to the 8-pin Processor Power
connection at JPW2. For systems with heavy loads, an additional 4-pin power
connection has been included at J32.

Connecting the Control Panel
JF1 contains header pins for various front control panel connectors. See Figure
5-2 for the pin locations of the various front control panel buttons and LED indica-
tors and refer to section 5-9 for details. Note that even and odd numbered pins
are on opposite sides of each header.
All JF1 wires have been bundled into single keyed ribbon cable to simplify their
connection. The red wire in the ribbon cable plugs into pin 1 of JF1. Connect
the other end of the cable to the Control Panel printed circuit board, located just
behind the system status LEDs in the chassis.
See the Connector Definitions section in this chapter for details and pin descrip-
tions of JF1.

5-6 Installing Memory
CAUTION
Exercise extreme care when installing or removing memory modules
to prevent any possible damage.
1. Insert each memory module vertically into its slot, beginning with CPU1 slot 1A,
then 1B, etc.. Pay attention to the notch along the bottom of the module to prevent
inserting the module incorrectly (see Figure 5-4). See support information below.
2. Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place.
Note: each processor has its own built-in memory controller, so CPU2 DIMMs can-
not be addressed if only a single CPU is installed. 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1
GB and 2 GB* memory modules are supported.
*With Opteron 246 C-stepping CPUs and above.
Support
The H8DSR-8 supports single or dual-channel, registered ECC DDR400/333/266
SDRAM.
Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate
any number of DIMM slots (see note on previous page). The CPU2 DIMM slots
can only be accessed when two CPUs are installed (however, the CPU2 DIMM slots
are not required to be populated when two CPUs are installed).
Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and
type will result in interleaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved
(64-bit) memory.
5-7

AS1020S-8 User's Manual
Optimizing memory performance
If two processors are installed, it is better to stagger pairs of DIMMs across both
sets of CPU DIMM slots, e.g. first populate CPU1 slots 1A and 1B, then CPU2 slots
1A, and 1B, then the next two CPU1 slots, etc. This balances the load over both
CPUs to optimize performance.
Maximum memory (two CPUs): 32 GB for DDR333/266 and 16 GB for DDR400.
If only one CPU is installed, maximum supported memory is halved (16 GB for
DDR333/266 and 8 GB for DDR400).
Figure 5-4. Side and Top Views of DDR Installation
To Install:
Insert module vertically
and press down until it
snaps into place. The
release tabs should
close - if they do not
you should close them
yourself.
Note the notch in the slot and on the bottom of the DIMM.
These prevent the DIMM from being installed incorrectly.
To Remove:
Use your thumbs to
gently push each re-
lease tab outward to
release the DIMM from
the slot.

Notes: X indicates a populated DIMM slot. If adding four DIMMs (with two CPUs in-
stalled), the configurations with DIMMs spread over both CPUs (and not like in row 5) will
result in optimized performance.
5-7 Adding PCI Cards
1. PCI slots:
The H8DSR-8 has four PCI expansion slots, which includes two x8 PCI-Express,
one 64-bit 133 MHz PCI-X and one 64-bit 100 MHz PCI-X slots. An additional slot
(slot #7) supports a low profile IPMI 2.0 card.
The 1020S-8 includes two riser cards to accommodate up to two PCI-X/PCI-E cards
in the following configuration: one low profile expansion card (PCI-X 133 MHz or
PCI-Express x8) and one full-height, half-length expansion card (PCI-X 100 MHz
or PCI-Express x8).
2. PCI card installation:
Before installing a PCI add-on card, make sure you install it into the appropriate
riser card. Begin by removing the screw from the backpanel PCI slot shield that
corresponds to the slot you wish to populate. Insert the PCI card into the correct
riser card, pushing down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card. Fin-
ish by securing the card to the chassis with the same screw you removed from
the PCI shield. Follow this procedure when adding a card to the other riser card.
Note: the PCI slot shields help promote proper airlow in the chassis and shield the
inside of the system from EMI (electromagnetic interference). For these reasons,
make sure there is always a shield covering each unused slot.

CMOS Clear
JBT1 is used to clear CMOS and will also clear any passwords. Instead of pins,
this jumper consists of contact pads to prevent accidentally clearing the contents
of CMOS.
To clear CMOS,
1) First power down the system and unplug the power cord(s).
2) With the power disconnected, short the CMOS pads with a metal object such as
a small screwdriver for at least four seconds.
3) Remove the screwdriver (or shorting device).
4) Reconnect the power cord(s) and power on the system.
Notes:
Do not use the PW_ON connector to clear CMOS.
The onboard battery does not need to be removed when clearing CMOS, however
you must short JBT1 for at least four seconds.

Use the following information to connect the floppy and hard disk drive cables.
ꢀ The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
ꢀ A red mark on a wire typically designates the location of pin 1.
ꢀ A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide
for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to
drive B.
ꢀ The 80-wire ATA100/66 IDE hard disk drive cable that came with your system
has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable should be used
to take advantage of the speed this new technology offers. The blue connector
connects to the onboard IDE connector interface and the other connector(s) to
your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive
for details on actual jumper locations and settings for the hard disk drive.

Chapter 6
Advanced Chassis Setup
This chapter covers the steps required to install components and perform mainte-
nance on the SC813S+-500 chassis. For component installation, follow the steps
in the order given to eliminate the most common problems encountered. If some
steps are unnecessary, skip ahead to the next step.
Tools Required
The only tool you will need to install components and perform maintenance is a
Philips screwdriver.
6-1 Static-Sensitive Devices
Electricstatic discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent
damage to any printed circuit boards (PCBs), it is important to handle them very
carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment
from ESD damage.
Precautions
ꢀ Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
ꢀ Touch a grounded metal object before removing any board from its antistatic
bag.
ꢀ Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips,
memory modules or gold contacts.
ꢀ When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
ꢀ Put the serverboard, add-on cards and peripherals back into their antistatic bags
when not in use.
ꢀ For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent
conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and
the serverboard.

6-2 Control Panel
The control panel (located on the front of the chassis) must be connected to the
JF1 connector on the serverboard to provide you with system status indications.
These wires have been bundled together as a ribbon cable to simplify the connec-
tion. Connect the cable from JF1 on the serverboard to the appropriate header on
the Control Panel PCB (printed circuit board). Make sure the red wire plugs into
pin 1 on both connectors. Pull all excess cabling out of the airflow path.
The control panel LEDs inform you of system status. See "Chapter 3: System
Interface" for details on the LEDs and the control panel buttons. Details on JF1
can be found in "Chapter 5: Advanced Serverboard Setup."

Chapter 6: Advanced Chassis Setup
6-3 System Fans
Four 4-cm fans provide the cooling for the 1020S-8. Each fan unit is actually
made up of two fans joined back-to-back, which rotate in opposite directions. This
counter-rotating action generates exceptional airflow and works to dampen vibra-
tion levels. These fans can adjust their speed according to the heat level sensed
in the system, which results in more efficient and quieter fan operation. Fan speed
is controlled by a setting in BIOS (see Chapter 7). Each fan in a set has its own
separate tachometer.
It is very important that the chassis top cover is properly installed for the airflow to
circulate properly through the chassis and cool the components.
System Fan Failure
If a fan fails, the remaining fans will ramp up to full speed and the overheat/fan
fail LED on the control panel will blink on and off. Replace any failed fan at your
earliest convenience with the same type and model (the system can continue to run
with a failed fan). Remove the top chassis cover while the system is still running
to determine which of the two fan units has failed. Then power down the system
before replacing a fan. Removing the power cord from the power supply is also
recommended as a safety precaution.
Replacing System Fans
1. Removing a fan
With the system powered down, first remove the chassis cover (refer to page 6-7)
and unplug all the fan cables from the serverboard. Grasp the rectangular housing
that holds all the fan units and lift it out of the chassis (see Figure 6-2). Push the
failed fan out through the bottom of the fan housing.
2. Installing a new fan
Replace the failed fan with an identical 4-cm, 12 volt fan (available from the manu-
facturer: p/n FAN-0083). Push the new fan into the vacant space in the housing
while making sure the arrows on the top of the fan (indicating air direction) point
in the same direction as the arrows on the other fans. Reposition the fan housing
back over the two mounting posts in the chassis, then reconnect the fan wires to
the same chassis fan headers you removed them from. Power up the system and
check that the fan is working properly and that the LED on the control panel has
turned off. Finish by replacing the chassis cover.

Accessing the Drive Bays
SCSI Drives: Because of their hotswap capability, you do not need to access the
inside of the chassis or power down the system to install or replace SCSI drives.
Proceed to the next step for instructions.
Note: You must use standard 3.5" SCSI drives in the 1020S-8.
CD-ROM/Floppy Disk Drives: For installing/removing a CD-ROM or floppy disk
drive, you will need to gain access to the inside of the system by removing the
top cover of the chassis. Proceed to the "CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation"
section later in this chapter for instructions.
Note: Only "slim" CD-ROM and floppy drives will fit into the 1020S-8.

moval from the chassis. These carriers also help promote proper airflow for the drive
bays. For this reason, even empty carriers without drives installed must remain in
the chassis. To add a new SCSI drive, install a drive into the carrier with the printed
circuit board side facing down so that the mounting holes align with those in the
carrier. Secure the drive to the carrier with six screws, as shown in Figure 6-4.
Figure 6-3. Mounting a SCSI Drive in a Carrier
Use caution when working around the SCSI backplane. Do not
touch the backplane with any metal objects and make sure no
ribbon cables touch the backplane or obstruct the holes, which
aid in proper airflow.
!
!
Important: Regardless of how many SCSI hard drives are installed,
all drive carriers must remain in the drive bays to maintain proper
airflow.

2. Installing/removing hot-swap SCSI drives
The SCSI drive carriers are all easily accessible at the front of the chassis. These
hard drives are hot-pluggable, meaning they can be removed and installed without
powering down the system. To remove a carrier, push the release button located
beside the drive LEDs. Then swing the colored handle fully out and use it to pull
the unit straight out (see Figure 6-5).
Note: Your operating system must have RAID support to enable the hot-plug ca-
pability of the SCSI drives.
Figure 6-4. Removing a SCSI Drive from the Server
Important: All of the SCSI drive carriers must remain in the drive
bays to maintain proper cooling airflow.
!
SCSI Backplane
The SCSI drives plug into a backplane that provides power, drive ID and bus termi-
nation. A RAID controller can be used with the backplane to provide data security.
The operating system you use must have RAID support to enable the hot-swap
capability of the drives. The backplane is already preconfigured, so there are no
jumpers or switches present on it.

CD-ROM and Floppy Drive Installation
The top cover of the chassis must be opened to gain full access to the CD-ROM
and floppy drive bays. The 1020S-8 accomodates only slim CD-ROM drives. Side
mounting brackets are needed to mount a slim CD-ROM drive in the server.
You must power down the system before installing or removing a floppy or CD-ROM
drive. First, release the retention screws that secure the server unit to the rack.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks
(you will hear a "click"). Next, depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis
to release the top cover and at the same time, push the cover away from you until
it stops. You can then lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the
inside of the server.
With the chassis cover removed, unplug the power and data cables from the drive
you want to remove. Then locate the locking tab at the rear of the drive. It will be
on the left side of the drive when viewed from the front of the chassis. Pull the tab
away from the drive and push the drive unit out the front of the chassis. Add a new
drive by following this procedure in reverse order. You may hear a faint *click* of the
locking tab when the drive is fully inserted. Remember to reconnect the data and
power cables to the drive before replacing the chassis cover and restoring power
to the system. Please be aware of the following:
• The floppy disk drive cable has seven twisted wires.
• A color mark on a cable typically designates the location of pin 1.
• A single floppy disk drive ribbon cable has 34 wires and two connectors to provide
for two floppy disk drives. The connector with twisted wires always connects to
drive A, and the connector that does not have twisted wires always connects to
drive B.

6-5 Power Supply
The AS1020S-8 has a single 500 watt power supply, which is auto-switching ca-
pable. This enables it to automatically sense and operate at a 100v to 240v input
voltage. An amber light will be illuminated on the power supply when the power is
off. An illuminated green light indicates that the power supply is operating.
Power Supply Failure
If the power supply unit fails, the system will shut down and you will need to re-
place the unit. Replacement units can be ordered directly from the manufacturer.
As there is only one power supply unit in the system, power must be completely
removed from the server before removing and replacing the power supply unit for
whatever reason.
Removing/Replacing the Power Supply
1. Removing the power supply
First turn the power switch on the control panel off, then unplug the power cord
from the system. Remove the chassis cover by pressing the two release buttons
on the top of the chassis (near the front) and push the chassis top rearward about
one inch. To remove the failed power unit, push the beige colored release tab to
the right and then carefully lift the unit up about 1/2 inch only. If you lift too high,
you may damage the power distribution board that the other end of the unit is
connected to. Then, pull the power unit straight back to unplug it from the power
distribution board. See Figure 6-6.
2. Installing a new power supply
Replace the failed unit with another unit of the same input voltage, output voltage
and wattage (manufacturer part number PWS-0048). It is highly recommended to
replace it with exactly the same model power supply. Carefully insert the new unit
into position to plug it into the power distribution board, making sure you are not
holding it at too great an angle, which may damage the power distribution board.
Push it completely into the power distribution board and seat it in the chassis. When
correctly installed it should be laying flat - make sure the end of the power supply
is not sitting on the stop in the chassis. Reconnect the power cord, replace the
chassis top cover and reposition the unit back into the rack. Finish by depressing
the power button on the chassis front control panel.

BIOS
7-1 Introduction
This chapter describes the AMIBIOS™ Setup utility for the H8DSR-8. The AMI
ROM BIOS is stored in a flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy
disk-based program.
Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or
deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Please refer to the Manual
Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that may not be reflected
in this manual.
Starting the Setup Utility
To enter the BIOS Setup Utility, hit the <Delete> key while the system is booting-up.
(In most cases, the <Delete> key is used to invoke the BIOS setup screen. There are
a few cases when other keys are used, such as <F1>, <F2>, etc.) Each main BIOS
menu option is described in this manual.
The Main BIOS screen has two main frames. The left frame displays all the options
that can be configured. “Grayed-out” options cannot be configured. The right frame
displays the key legend. Above the key legend is an area reserved for a text mes-
sage. When an option is selected in the left frame, it is highlighted in white. Often a
text message will accompany it. (Note that BIOS has default text messages built in.
We retain the option to include, omit, or change any of these text messages.) Set-
tings printed in Bold are the default values.
A " ꢀ" indicates a submenu. Highlighting such an item and pressing the <Enter>
key will open the list of settings within that submenu.
The BIOS setup utility uses a key-based navigation system called hot keys. Most of
these hot keys (<F1>, <F10>, <Enter>, <ESC>, <Arrow> keys, etc.) can be used at
any time during the setup navigation process.

Appendix A: BIOS Error Beep Codes
Appendix A
BIOS Error Beep Codes
During the POST (Power-On Self-Test) routines, which are performed each time
the system is powered on, errors may occur.
Non-fatal errors are those which, in most cases, allow the system to continue the
boot-up process. The error messages normally appear on the screen.
Fatal errors are those which will not allow the system to continue the boot-up pro-
cedure. If a fatal error occurs, you should consult with your system manufacturer
for possible repairs.
These fatal errors are usually communicated through a series of audible beeps.
The numbers on the fatal error list, on the following page, correspond to the number
of beeps for the corresponding error. All errors listed, with the exception of Beep
Code 8, are fatal errors.
POST codes may be read on the LEDs located beside the IPMI header on the
serverboard. See the description of the POST code LEDs in Chapter 5.
