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.

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.

???Installs powerful applications directly from the CD. See the CD label for a current list of applications.

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.

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.

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.

PCI slot 1 32-bit 33 MHz (J29)

PCI slot 2 32-bit 33 MHz (J31)

PCI slot 3 64-bit 33 MHz (J35)

PCI slot 4 64-bit 33 MHz (J39)

PCI slot 5 64-bit 33 MHz (J40)

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.

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 described in ???Server controls and indicators??? on page 5. If the amber hard disk drive 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.

Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

1.Review ???Before you begin??? on page 31.

2.Read the information in ???Preinstallation steps (all bays)??? on page 45.

50 IBM?? xSeries 220 User???s Reference

Note: You do not have to turn off the server to install hot-swap hard disk drives in these bays.

3.Remove the filler panel from one of the empty hot-swap bays by inserting your finger into the depression at the left side of the filler panel and pulling it away from the server.

4.Install the hard disk drive in the hot-swap bay:

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. When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed. Start the Configuration/Setup Utility program and select Save Settings. See ???Chapter 3. Configuring your server,??? on page 11 for more information.

4.The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

Chapter 5. Installing options 51

Attention: When you handle electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices, take precautions to avoid damage from static electricity. For details on handling these devices, see ???Handling static-sensitive devices??? on page 31.

2.Review the information in ???Before you begin??? on page 31 and the documentation that comes with your option.

3.Turn off the server and peripheral devices, and disconnect all external cables and power cords; then, remove the side cover (see ???Removing the side cover??? on page 38 for details).

4.Select the connector in which to install the DIMM.

5.Touch the static-protective package containing the DIMM to any unpainted metal surface on the server. Then, remove the DIMM from the package.

Attention: To avoid breaking the retaining clips or damaging the DIMM connectors, handle the clips gently.

6.Install the DIMM:

a.Open the retaining clips on the connector.

b.Turn the DIMM so that the pins align correctly with the connector.

c.Firmly press the DIMM straight down into the connector by applying pressure on both ends of the DIMM simultaneously.

d.Make sure that the retaining clips are in the closed position. If a gap exists between the DIMM and the retaining clips, the DIMM has not been properly installed. In this case, open the retaining clips and remove the DIMM; then, reinsert the DIMM.

7.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, go to ???Installing the side cover??? on page 60.

Attention: When you restart the server, the system displays a message indicating that the memory configuration has changed.

52 IBM?? xSeries 220 User???s Reference

???If you installed additional memory, start the Configuration /Setup Utility program and select Save Settings.

???If you just replaced a failed DIMM, you must start the Configuration /Setup Utility program, select Advanced Setup, select Memory Settings, highlight the connector or bank of connectors that you want to enable, then select Enable.

???In some memory configurations, the 3-3-3 beep code might sound during POST followed by a blank screen. If this occurs, you must restart the server three times to force the system BIOS code to reset the memory connector or bank of connectors from Disabled to Enabled.

Chapter 5. Installing options 53

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 for your server is available through the World Wide Web. Refer to ???Getting help, service, and information??? on page 115 for the appropriate World Wide Web 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.

3.Your server comes with one microprocessor, which is installed in microprocessor 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.

4.If you are installing a microprocessor that has a speed of 933 MHz or higher, you must also install a fan sink and connect the fan-sink power cable to the system board.

5.The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your server.

6.If necessary, see ???System-board option connectors??? on page 28 for connector locations.

Attention:

???To avoid damage and ensure proper server operation when you install a new or additional microprocessor, use microprocessors that have the same cache size and type and the same clock speed. Microprocessor internal clock frequencies and external clock frequencies must be identical. See the ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat for a list of microprocessors for use with your server.

Universal Serial Bus ports

Your server has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports, which configure automatically. USB is a serial interface standard for telephony and multimedia devices. It uses Plug and Play technology to determine the type of device that is attached to the connector.

Notes:

1.If you attach a standard (non-USB) keyboard to the keyboard connector, the USB ports and devices will be disabled during the power-on self-test (POST).

2.If you install a USB keyboard that has a mouse port, the USB keyboard emulates a mouse, and you will not be able to disable the mouse settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

USB cables and hubs

You need a 4-pin cable to connect devices to USB 1 or USB 2. If you plan to attach more than two USB devices, you must use a hub to connect the devices. The hub provides multiple connectors for attaching additional external USB devices.

64 IBM?? xSeries 220 User???s Reference

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.

SCSI connector pin-number assignments

The following table shows the pin-number assignments for the 68-pin SCSI connector.

Table 10. 68-pin SCSI connector pin-number assignments

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.

If you plan to use the Wake on LAN function in the server, you must install a Wake on LAN-enabled network interface card (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.

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 on your screen. See ???POST beep code descriptions??? and ???POST error messages??? on 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 screen. See ???POST error messages??? on page 79 for descriptions of the text 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.

86 IBM?? xSeries 220 User???s Reference

Table 14. SCSI messages

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:

fffis the three-digit function code that indicates the function being tested when the error occurred. For example, function code 089 is for the microprocessor.

tttis the three-digit failure code that indicates the exact test failure that was encountered. (These codes are for trained service personnel and are described in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.)

Chapter 6. Solving problems 87

iiiis the three-digit device ID. (These codes are for trained service personnel and are described in the Hardware Maintenance Manual.)

date is the date that the diagnostic test was run and the error was recorded.

cc is the check digit that is used to verify the validity of the information.

text message

is the diagnostic message that indicates the reason for the problem.

Text messages

The diagnostic text message format is as follows:

Function name: Result (test specific string)

where:

Function name

is the name of the function being tested when the error occurred. This corresponds to the function code (fff) given in the previous list.

Result can be one of the following:

Passed This result occurs when the diagnostic test completes without any errors.

Failed This result occurs when the diagnostic test discovers an error.

User Aborted

This result occurs when you stop the diagnostic test before it is complete.

Not Applicable

This result occurs when you specify a diagnostic test for a device that is not present.

Aborted This result occurs when the test could not proceed because of the system configuration.

Warning This result occurs when a possible problem is reported during the diagnostic test, such as when a device that is to be tested is not installed.

Test Specific String

This is additional information that you can use to analyze the problem.

Starting the diagnostic programs

You can press F1 while running the diagnostic programs to obtain Help information. You also can press F1 from within a help screen to obtain online documentation from which you can select different categories. To exit from the Help information and return to where you left off, press Esc.

To start the diagnostic programs:

1.Turn on the server and watch the screen.

Notes:

a.If the server stops during testing and you cannot continue, restart the server and try running the diagnostic programs again. If the problem persists, call for service.

b.The keyboard and mouse (pointing device) tests assume that a keyboard and mouse are attached to the server.

c.If you run the diagnostic programs with no mouse attached to your server, you will not be able to navigate between test categories using the Next Cat and Prev Cat buttons. All other functions provided by mouse-selectable buttons are also available using the function keys.

d.You can test the USB keyboard by using the regular keyboard test. The regular mouse test can test a USB mouse. Also, you can run the USB interface test only if there are no USB devices attached.

e.You can view server configuration information (such as system configuration, memory contents, interrupt request (IRQ) use, direct memory access (DMA) use, device drivers, and so on) by selecting Hardware Info from the top of the screen.

When the tests have completed, you can view the Test Log by selecting Utility from the top of the screen.

If the hardware checks out OK but the problem persists during normal server operations, a software error might be the cause. If you suspect a software problem, refer to the information that comes with the software package.

Viewing the test log

The test log will not contain any information until after the diagnostic program has run.

Note: If you already are running the diagnostic programs, begin with step 3.

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.

Identifying problems using status LEDs

Your server has LEDs to help you identify problems with some server components. These LEDs are part of the diagnostics that are built into the server. Use the illuminated LEDs to identify the failing or incorrectly installed components.

Front panel and system board LEDs

The system error LED is on the front panel inside the server. All of the remaining error LEDs are on the system board, adjacent to the failing components. See ???Diagnostic LEDs??? on page 99 for information on identifying problems using these LEDs.

The meanings of these LEDs are as follows:

1.The fan and VRM LEDs will illuminate only if the optional system-management adapter is installed in the server.

2.The server does not support user-replaceable power supplies or fans.

98 IBM?? xSeries 220 User???s Reference

Diagnostic LEDs

You can use the diagnostic LEDs built into your server to quickly identify the type of system error that occurred. Your server is designed so that LEDs remain illuminated when the server shuts down, as long as the power supplies are operating properly.

This feature helps you to isolate the problem if an error causes the server to shut down.

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).
