System Setup  
Setting up the server  
Use the instructions on the quick guide poster that came with the server to  
assemble the server.  
You can prepare a safer working environment before assembling the server  
by following these guidelines:  
Obtain an adequately rated uninterruptible power supply (UPS). A UPS  
protects against AC line spikes, power interruptions, and other power  
fluctuations that may damage the server.  
Protect the server from extreme temperature and humidity. Do not  
expose it to direct sunlight, heater ducts, or other heat-generating objects.  
Keep the server away from equipment that generates magnetic fields,  
such as unshielded stereo speakers. Even a telephone placed too close to  
the server may cause interference.  
Plug the server into a wall outlet, power strip, or uninterruptible power  
supply (UPS).  
Important  
Keep the boxes and packing material. If you need to send  
the server to Gateway for repairs, you must use the original  
packaging or your warranty may be voided.

Starting the server  
Before you start the server for the first time, make sure:  
If the power supply is autosensing, it will not have a voltagte selection  
switch and it automatically determines the voltage of the incoming  
power source.  
All cables are firmly connected to the proper ports on the back panel of  
the server.  
Caution  
Electricity can flow from connected peripherals into the  
system causing a shock. Make sure the server and  
peripherals are turned off and unplugged from the power  
outlet when you connect peripherals to the server.  
The server and monitor are plugged into an AC outlet, power strip, or  
UPS and that the power strip or UPS is turned on.  
To start the system:  
1 If you have connected the system components to a power strip or UPS,  
make sure all the system components are turned off, then turn on the  
power strip or UPS.  
2 Turn on the monitor.  
3 Turn on the server. The light-emitting diode (LED) on the control panel  
is on when the power is on.  
4 Turn on any other components connected to the server, such as speakers,  
a printer, or a scanner.  
If nothing happens when you turn on the system:  
Make sure that the power cables are securely plugged in and that  
the power strip or UPS (if you are using one) is plugged in and  
turned on.  
Make sure the monitor is connected to the server, plugged into the  
power strip, AC outlet, or UPS, and turned on. You may also need  
to adjust the brightness and contrast controls on the monitor.

Preventing static electricity discharge  
Before opening the server case, follow these precautions to prevent damage  
from static electricity. When opening your server case, always perform the  
following procedure.  
Caution  
Static electricity can permanently damage electronic  
components in your server. Prevent electrostatic damage  
to your server by following static electricity precautions  
every time you open your server case.  
To prevent static electricity discharge:  
1 Turn off the server power.  
2 Touch a bare metal surface on the back of the server.  
3 Unplug all power cords from AC outlets and disconnect the modem cable  
(if installed).  
Also follow these static electricity precautions:  
Avoid static-causing surfaces such as plastic and packing foam in your  
work area.  
Remove the parts from their antistatic bags or containers only when you  
are ready to use them. Do not lay parts on the outside of an antistatic  
bag or container because only the inside provides antistatic protection.  
Always hold cards by the edges and their metal mounting brackets. Avoid  
touching components on the cards and the edge connectors that connect  
to expansion slots. Never slide cards or other parts over any surface.

Managing the  
Server  
6
Avoiding power source problems  
Surge suppressors, line conditioners, and uninterruptible power supplies can  
help protect the server against power source problems.  
Surge suppressors  
During a power surge, the voltage level of electricity coming into the server  
can increase far above normal levels and cause data loss or system damage.  
Protect your server and peripherals by connecting them to a surge suppressor,  
which will absorb voltage surges and prevent them from reaching your server.  
When purchasing a surge suppressor:  
Make sure the surge suppressor meets the appropriate product safety  
certification for your location, such as Underwriters Laboratories (UL) or  
Conformite European (CE).  
Check the maximum amount of voltage the suppressor allows to pass  
through the line. The lower the voltage that the suppressor allows to pass  
through, the better the protection for the server.  
Check the energy absorption (dissipation) rating. The higher the energy  
absorption rating, the better the protection for the server.  
Check line-conditioner capabilities. A line conditioner smooths out some  
normal line noise (small voltage fluctuations) of an electrical supply.  
Avoiding power source problems  
75

Line conditioners  
A line conditioner protects the server from the small fluctuations in voltage  
from an electrical supply. Most systems can handle this variation (line noise)  
without problems. However, some electrical sources include more line noise  
than normal. Line noise can also be a problem if the server is located near,  
or shares a circuit with, a device that causes electromagnetic interference, such  
as a television or a motor.  
Some surge suppressors and uninterruptible power supplies include simple  
line-conditioning capabilities.  
Uninterruptible power supplies  
Use a standby uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect your server from  
data loss during a total power failure. A UPS uses a battery to keep your server  
running temporarily during a power failure and lets you save your work and  
shut down your server. You cannot run your server for an extended period  
of time while using only the UPS.  
Maintain and manage your hard drive  
Regular maintenance can keep your hard drive operating efficiently and good  
file management can keep the server free of unwanted files while making  
important files secure and easier to find.  
Hard drive maintenance utility  
If you are using the Windows NT operating system, you can help maintain  
the performance of your hard drive by regularly using Check Disk.  
Important  
For other operating systems, such as Windows 2000 or  
Novell Netware, refer to the appropriate operating system  
manual.  
Using Check Disk in Windows NT  
Bad sectors are parts of a hard drive or diskette that will not hold data. A lost  
allocation unit is a group of sectors that has lost its place in the table that  
the operating system uses to locate files. Check Disk checks the hard drive  
for bad sectors or lost allocation units and lets you fix them.  
76  
Managing the Server  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
               
Use Check Disk from once a week to once a month, depending on how often  
you use the server. Also use Check Disk if you have any hard drive problems.  
To use Check Disk:  
1 Double-click the My Computer icon. The My Computer window opens.  
2 Right-click the drive you want to check.  
3 Select Properties. The drives properties window opens.  
4 Click the Tools tab.  
5 At Error-checking, click Check Now. The Check Disk window opens.  
6 Scan the entire hard drive by selecting Scan for and attempt recovery of bad  
sectors.  
7 Click Start. Check Disk checks the drive for errors.  
8 Follow any on-screen instructions for completing the scan.  
Hard drive management practices  
By deleting unneeded files from your hard drive and managing the space that  
is automatically allocated for saving certain files, you can help maintain the  
performance of the hard drive. We suggest that you first check your hard drive  
for available space, then back up important files prior to deleting unneeded  
files, in case you delete important files by mistake.  
Checking hard drive space  
In Windows, you can see a chart of the available hard drive space.  
To check hard drive space:  
1 Double-click on the My Computer icon on the desktop. The My Computer  
window opens.  
2 Right-click the drive you want to check.  
3 Select Properties. The drives properties window opens. The General tab  
shows you the available and used space on the drive.

Backing up files  
Regularly backing up your files protects you from losing data and lets you  
keep fewer files on your hard drive. Back up old files to a large capacity disk  
drive or tape drive and delete the files from your hard drive. You can use the  
software that came with your tape backup drive or your large capacity disk  
drive to back up the files.  
You can also back up files by running the Backup utility that came with your  
operating system. In Windows NT, Backup copies files to a tape drive.  
To run Backup in Windows NT:  
1 Click Start, then select Programs, Administrative Tools, then Backup.  
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.  
Deleting unneeded files  
By deleting unneeded files from the hard drive, you free up space on the hard  
drive and help improve hard-drive performance. The following sections give  
you some simple ways to delete unneeded files.  
Deleting Windows temporary files  
During normal operation, Windows constantly creates new temporary (.tmp)  
files. You can safely delete all but the most recent .tmp files.  
To delete .tmp files:  
1 Open Windows Explorer, then select Tools, Find, then Files and Folders.  
2 In the Named text box, type *.tmp  
3 In the Look in drop down list, select your drive letter.  
4 Click Find Now. The list of .tmp files appears.  
5 Click Modified above the list. To see the Modified button, you may need  
to maximize the Find window. The list is sorted by date.  
6 Highlight all the files in the list except those with the current date.  
7 Press SHIFT + DELETE. A dialog box opens asking if you want to delete the  
files.  
8 Click Yes. The files are deleted.  
78  
Managing the Server

Deleting temporary Internet files  
As you visit Web sites, your browser stores temporary Internet files on your  
hard drive in a memory cache and a disk cache. Files in the memory cache are  
removed when you turn off your server. Files are saved in the disk cache until  
the space designated for the cache is full. See your browsers Help files for  
instructions on emptying the disk cache.  
You can save space on the hard drive by decreasing the size of the Internet  
file disk cache. See your browsers Help files for instructions.  
Emptying the Recycle Bin  
When you delete a file from your hard drive in Windows, it is not immediately  
removed from the hard drive. Instead, the file is moved into the Recycle Bin.  
Because files are stored in the Recycle Bin and not deleted from the hard drive  
immediately, you can retrieve a file that you accidentally delete from the hard  
drive.  
To delete all the files from the Recycle Bin, right-click the Recycle Bin icon  
on the desktop, then click Empty Recycle Bin.  
You can save space on the hard drive by decreasing the size of the Recycle Bin.  
To decrease the size of the Recycle Bin:  
1 Right-click the Recycle Bin, then select Properties.  
2 At the Global tab, select either Configure drives independently or Use one  
setting for all drives.  
3 If you are configuring drives independently, click the tab for the drive  
you want to configure.  
4 Move the slider to set the size of the Recycle Bin. A good initial setting  
is 5%.  
5 Click OK.

Protecting the server against viruses  
A virus is a program that attaches itself to a program or data file on a computer,  
then spreads from one computer to another. Viruses can damage data, cause  
computers to malfunction, and can display annoying or offensive messages.  
Some viruses can go unnoticed for long periods of time because they are  
activated by a certain date or time. Protect your server from viruses by:  
Using an anti-virus program to check files and programs that are on  
diskettes, attached to e-mail messages, or downloaded from the Internet.  
After you run the anti-virus program you can back up your files to  
diskettes, a separate hard drive, or a high-capacity storage drive.  
Keeping your anti-virus program updated.  
Obtaining all software from reputable sources and checking the software  
for viruses before installing it.  
Disabling macros on suspicious Microsoft Word and Excel files. These  
programs will warn you if a document that you are opening contains a  
macro that might have a virus.  
To remove a virus:  
1 Find and remove the virus immediately using an anti-virus program.  
2 Turn off your server and leave it off for at least 30 seconds.  
3 Turn on the server and rescan for the virus.  
4 If the virus is still present, contact the manufacturer of your anti-virus  
program or Gateway Client Care.

System administration and control  
The server has three server-management tools included to enable  
administration and control of Windows NT environments. These tools are  
Intel® Server Control (ISC), ManageX Event Manager, and the Direct Platform  
Control (DPC) Console.  
Intel Server Control (ISC)  
Using a graphical user interface, ISC can locally or remotely provide real-time  
monitoring and alerting for server hardware sensors. ISC monitors and records  
system status indicators such as temperature, voltage, cooling, chassis  
intrusion, processor status, cooling fan status, and power supply status. You  
can establish a threshold or range of accepted values for each of these  
indicators and you can configure ISC to respond to variances in a number of  
ways, from an entry in the event log, to a displayed message or audio alarm,  
or even a complete server shutdown.  
ISC also provides a system hardware inventory, SCSI controller status, LAN  
adapter status, and BIOS and system slot information.  
You can find additional information about Intel Server Control under  
Documentation on the Server Companion CD which came with the server.  
ManageX Event Manager  
ManageX lets the system administrator manage multiple systems on a  
Windows NT, Windows 2000, or Novell Netware network from a single  
window, and implement commands and policies across the network with a  
single action. With this tool you can automate system management tasks,  
which can be triggered by specific events or at specified thresholds.  
You can find additional information about the ManageX Event Manager  
under Documentation on the Server Companion CD which came with the  
server.

Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console  
The Direct Platform Control (DPC) Console provides remote emergency  
management of servers. The DPC Console is independent of the server  
operating system and provides a means to remotely diagnose problems or  
verify the state of the server. It will also turn the server on or off.  
You can find additional information about DPC Console under Documentation  
on the Server Companion CD which came with the server.  
System security  
To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the system includes  
key locks on the chassis (to prevent entry) and the bezel door (to prevent use).  
You can also set security measures in the BIOS Setup utility which establishes  
passwords and automatic system lockouts. The system also includes server  
management software that monitors the chassis intrusion switch.  
Mechanical locks and monitoring  
The system includes a chassis intrusion switch. When the access cover is  
opened, the switch transmits an alarm signal to the system board, where server  
management software processes the signal. You can program a response to  
an intrusion, for example, the system may power down or lock the keyboard.  
Software locks through the BIOS Setup utility  
The BIOS Setup utility provides several security features to prevent  
unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures  
are enabled, access to the system is allowed only after you enter the correct  
password(s). For example, the utility lets you:  
Enable the keyboard lockout timer so the server requires a password to  
reactivate the keyboard and mouse after a specified time-out period of 1  
to 120 minutes  
Set and enable administrator and user passwords  
Set secure mode to prevent keyboard or mouse input and to prevent use  
of the front panel reset and power switches  
Activate a hot-key combination to enter secure mode quickly  
Disable writing to the diskette drive when secure mode is set

Using passwords  
If you set and enable a user password but not an administrator password, enter  
the user password to boot the system with limited BIOS Setup access.  
If you set and enable both a user and an administrator password:  
Enter either one to boot the server and enable the keyboard and mouse  
Enter the administrator password to gain full access to the BIOS Setup  
to change the system configuration  
Secure mode  
Configure and enable the secure boot mode by using the BIOS Setup. When  
secure mode is in effect, you:  
Can boot the system and run the OS, but you must enter the user  
password to use the keyboard or mouse  
Cannot turn off system power or reset the system from the front panel  
switches  
Taking the system out of secure mode does not change the state of system  
power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode  
is in effect, the system will not power off when secure mode is later removed.  
However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure  
mode is removed, the system will power off.

must run the BIOS Setup utility and go to the Security Menu. The table also  
refers to other Setup utility menus. For more information on setting the  
security features, see About the BIOS Setup utilityon page 65.  
Feature  
Description  
Secure boot mode  
To enter secure mode, set and enable a password to automatically put the  
system into secure mode.  
If you set a hot-key combination, you can secure the system by pressing  
the key combination. This means you do not have to wait for the inactivity  
time-out period.  
When the system is in secure mode, the system boots and runs the  
operating system. It does not accept mouse or keyboard input until you enter  
the user password.  
At bootup, if the system detects a CD in the CD-ROM drive or a diskette  
in drive A, it requests a password. When you enter the password, the system  
boots from CD or diskette and disables secure mode.  
If you have not installed a CD-ROM drive or if there is no CD in the drive  
or diskette in drive A, the system boots from drive C and automatically  
enters secure mode. All enabled secure mode features go into effect at  
bootup.  
To leave secure mode, enter the correct password(s).  
Disable writing to  
diskette  
In secure mode, the system will not boot from or write to a diskette unless  
a password is entered. To set these features, see About the BIOS Setup  
utilityon page 65.  
Disablethepowerand If you enable this protection feature, the system disables the power and  
reset buttons reset buttons when in secure mode.

Boot without keyboard The system can boot with or without a keyboard. During POST and before  
the system boots, the BIOS automatically detects and tests the keyboard,  
if present, and displays a message. Do not plug in a keyboard while the  
system is on.  
Specify the boot  
sequence  
The sequence you specify in the BIOS determines the boot order (see  
About the BIOS Setup utilityon page 65). If secure mode is enabled (user  
password is set), you are prompted for a password before the system boots  
fully. If secure mode is enabled and the Secure Mode Boot option is also  
enabled, the system boots fully but requires a password before accepting  
any keyboard or mouse input.

System recovery  
Take precautions that allow you to recover damaged files and recover your  
system in the event that your hard drive is damaged, or if your BIOS or system  
files get corrupted.  
Creating a startup diskette  
If your server hard drive is damaged, you may not be able to start the server  
from the hard drive. A startup diskette is a bootable diskette that lets you start  
the server and attempt to fix the problem.  
When you set up Windows NT you are prompted to create a startup diskette.  
If you did not choose to create a startup diskette at that time, you may create  
one later by running the Windows NT upgrade/installation program. Perform  
this process by going to the DOS Command Prompt, changing to the C:\I386  
subdirectory and typing “winnt32/ox”. Press ENTER and follow the prompts.  
Using your Server Companion CD  
The Server Companion CD included with your server can be used to:  
Install hardware drivers for Windows NT  
Reinstall selected utilities

Troubleshooting  
Introduction  
If the server does not operate correctly, re-read the instructions for the  
procedures you have performed. If an error occurs within an application, refer  
to the documentation supplied with the software. This section identifies  
solutions to some possible problems.  
Troubleshooting checklist  
Before turning on the system, make sure that:  
The power cord is connected to the AC power-in connector and an AC  
outlet.  
The AC outlet is supplying power.  
If a power strip is used it is turned on, setting the circuit breaker.  
If the power supply has a voltage selection switch, that the voltage  
selection switch reflects the proper voltage.  
Verifying your configuration

Care during use  
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.  
Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking  
near your system.  
Some products have a replaceable CMOS battery on the system board. There is a danger of  
explosion if the CMOS battery is replaced incorrectly. Replace the battery with the same or  
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of batteries according to the  
manufacturers instructions.  
When the computer is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the  
computer. Always unplug all power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before  
cleaning the system.  
Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:  
The power cord or plug is damaged.  
Liquid has been spilled into the system.  
The system does not operate properly when the operating instructions are followed.  
The system was dropped or the cabinet is damaged.  
The system performance changes.  
Replacement parts and accessories  
Use only replacement parts and accessories recommended by Gateway.  
Important  
Do not use Gateway products in areas classified as  
hazardous locations. Such areas include patient care  
areas of medical and dental facilities, oxygen-laden  
environments, or industrial facilities.

Rack Mounting  
If rack mounted units are installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, they may require  
further evaluation by Certification Agencies. The following items must be considered:  
The ambient within the rack may be greater than room ambient. Installation should be such  
that the amount of airflow required for safe operation is not compromised. The maximum  
temperature for the equipment in this environment is 50C, unless otherwise specified in the  
environmental specifications for the equipment. Consideration should be given to the  
maximum rated ambient.  
Installation should be such that a hazardous stability condition is not achieved due to uneven  
loading.  
Input supply:  
Check nameplate ratings to assure there is no overloading of supply circuits that could have an  
effect on overcurtrent protection and supply wiring.  
Grounding:  
Reliable grounding of this equipment must be maintained. Particular attention should be given  
to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than direct connections to the  
branch circuit.

FCC Part 68 (applicable to products fitted with USA modems)  
Your modem complies with Part 68 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules.  
On the computer or modem card is a label that contains the FCC registration number and Ringer  
Equivalence Number (REN) for this device. If requested, this information must be provided to  
the telephone company.  
An FCC compliant telephone line cord with a modular plug is required for use with this device.  
The modem is designed to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a  
compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See installation instructions for details.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) is used to determine the number of devices which may  
be connected to the telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in the devices  
not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed  
five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined  
by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company.  
If this device causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in  
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. The telephone company may  
request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.  
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures  
that could affect the operation of this equipment. If this happens the telephone company will  
provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain  
uninterrupted service.  
This equipment cannot be used on telephone company provided coin service. Connection to  
party line service is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission or public

DOC Notice (for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)  
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the  
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety  
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’  
satisfaction.  
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to  
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed  
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside wiring associated with a  
single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The  
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent  
degradation of service in some situations.  
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility  
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or  
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user  
to disconnect the equipment.  
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power  
utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together.  
This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.  
Warning  
To avoid electrical shock or equipment malfunction you  
should not attempt to make electrical ground connections  
by yourself, but should contact the appropriate inspection  
authority or an electrician, as appropriate.  
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication  
of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The  
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the  
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

European Telecommunication Information (for products fitted with EU approved  
modems)  
Marking by the symbol  
indicates compliance of this equipment to the Telecom  
Terminal Equipment and Satellite Earth Stations Directive 98/13/EEC. Such marking is indicative  
that this equipment meets or exceeds the following technical standards:  
CTR 21 (1998) - Attachment requirements for pan-European approval for connection to the  
analogue Public Switched Telephone Networks (PSTNs) of TE (excluding TE supporting voice  
telephony services) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of Dual Tone Multi  
Frequency (DTMF) signaling.  
Caution  
Although this equipment can use either loop disconnect  
(Pulse) or DTMF (Tone) signaling, only the performance  
of the DTMF signaling is subject to regulatory  
requirements for correct operation. It is therefore strongly  
recommended that the equipment is set to use DTMF  
signaling for access to public or private emergency  
services. DTMF signaling also provides faster call set up.  
This equipment has been approved to Council Decision 98/482/EEC--CTR 21for Pan-European  
single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to  
differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries, the approval does not,  
of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN termination  
point. In the event of problems, you should contact Gateway customer support.

Interrupts  
The following table suggests a logical interrupt mapping of interrupt sources.  
It reflects a typical configuration, but you can change these interrupts. Use  
the information to determine how to program each interrupt. The actual  
interrupt map is defined using configuration registers in the I/O controller.  
I/O Redirection Registers in the I/O APIC are provided for each interrupt  
signal. The signals define hardware interrupt signal characteristics for APIC  
messages sent to local APIC(s).  
Important  
If you disable either IDE controller to free the interrupt for  
that controller, you must physically unplug the IDE cable  
from the system board. Simply disabling the drive by  
configuring the SSU option does not make the interrupt  
available.
