manual abstract
Caution! To avoid personal injury, care should be taken when pressing the inner rail release latches and sliding the component into the rack. (1) Carefully align the inner rails attached to the server with the fully extended mounting rails on the rack. (2) Press the release latch on both sides of the server (A). (3) Insert the inner rails into the mounting rails, then push the server into the rack until you hear a click sound (B). (4) Secure the server to the rack using the two front panel thumbscrews (C). 160 Appendix A: Rack mount configuration 5 Attach the CMA (cable management arm) to the rear of the server. The CMA allows you to tie-wrap all cables to and from the system. As you slide the system in and out of the rack, the CMA collapses and extends, keeping the cables untangled and attached to the system. (1) Insert the smaller CMA extension into the rear of the left inner rail (A1). (2) Insert the larger CMA extension into the rear of left mounting rail (A2). (3) Insert the CMA extension connector into the rear of the right mounting rail (B1). (4) Insert the CMA arm connector into the blue plastic cutout on the CMA extension connector (B2). (5) Attach the cable clips into the appropriate mounting holes in the CMA (C). 161 (6) Connect the power, peripheral and networking cables into their appropriate ports. Refer to “Connecting peripherals” on page 32 for detailed instructions. (7) Route all cables through the cable clips. Appendix A: Rack mount configuration Appendix B: Memory configuration This chapter provides details on how to configure the system memory boards. Recommended memory board and FBDIMM installation order and FBDIMM population order tables are also included. Introduction The system’s memory architecture supports up to four memory boards organized by branches and channels. The MCH (memory controller hub) on the north bridge has two branches with branch 0 going to channels 0 and 1 or memory board A and B, and branch 1 to channels 2 and 3 or memory board C and D. In dual-channel mode, FBDIMMs on adjacent channels work in lockstep to provide the same cache line data and a combined ECC. In the single- channel mode only channel 0 is active. The BIOS dynamically configures the memory controller in accordance with the available FBDIMM population and the selected RAS (reliability, availability, serviceability (RAS) mode operation. Appendix B: Memory configuration The memory boards connect to the mainboard through the memory board slots A, B, C, and D (Each slot support the x16 PCI Express mechanical slot, refer to “Mainboard” on page 12 for the location of the memory board slots.). Each memory board is equipped with eight DIMM slots that supports 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 GB DDR2-667 MHz (PC-5300) FBDIMM modules. The memory board includes a DIMM fault LED that is used to report DIMM failures and error conditions. Refer to “Memory configuration” on page 171 for details on the available system memory configuration. Memory board installation order The table below lists the suggested memory board installation order. Memory Installation order board slotNormal configuration Memory sparing configuration Memory mirroring configuration A 1 Set 1 Note: Requires B C 2 3 Set 2 installation of four memory boards with equal memory capacity. D 4 Note: Requires installation of two or four sets of memory boards, paired as sets of two. Each memory board in a set must have same amount of memory board installed.
