Turning on the server

Turning on the server refers to the act of plugging the power cord of your server into the power source and starting the operating system.

After you plug the power cord of your server into the power supply and an electrical outlet, the server can start in any of the following ways:

???You can press the power-control button on the front of the server to start the server.

Notes:

1.You can install a circular disk over the power-control button to prevent accidental manual power-off. This disk, known as the power-control button shield, comes with your server.

2.After you plug the power cord of your server into an electrical outlet, wait approximately 20 seconds before pressing the power-control button. During this time, the system is initializing; therefore, the power-control button does not respond.

???If the server is turned on and a power failure occurs, the server will start automatically when power is restored.

???The Wake on LAN feature will turn on the server at the set time (when a Magic Packet is received), provided that all of the following conditions are met:

???AC power is present.

???The server is either off or shut down from an Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) operating system.

???The Wake on LAN feature is enabled in the Configuration/Setup Utility program.

???The Wake on LAN adapter is installed in PCI slot 1 and is connected to the system board with the 3-pin auxiliary power connector.

Chapter 1. Introducing the IBM xSeries 220 7

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.

Chapter 3. Configuring your server

The following configuration programs are provided with your server:

???Configuration/Setup Utility

This program is part of the basic input/output system (BIOS) code that comes with your server. You can use this program to configure serial and parallel port assignments, change interrupt request (IRQ) settings, change the drive startup sequence, set the date and time, and set passwords. See ???Using the Configuration/Setup Utility program??? for more information.

???SCSISelect Utility

With the built-in SCSISelect Utility program, you can configure the devices that are attached to the integrated SCSI controller. See ???Using the SCSISelect Utility program??? on page 17 for more information.

???PXE Boot Agent Utility

The Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) Boot Agent Utility program is part of the BIOS code that comes with your server. You can use this program to change network startup (boot) protocols and startup (boot) order, to select operating system wake up support, and to set menu wait times. See ???Using the PXE Boot Agent Utility program??? on page 19 for more information.

???ServerGuide CDs

The ServerGuide CDs include software setup and installation tools that are specifically designed for IBM xSeries servers. You can use these CDs during the initial installation of your server to configure the server hardware and simplify your network operating system installation. The ServerGuide CDs also contain a collection of application programs, which you can install after your server is up and running. See ???Chapter 4. Using the ServerGuide CDs,??? on page 21 for more detailed information.

???ServeRAID programs

The ServeRAID programs come with the optional ServeRAID adapters. If your server has a ServeRAID adapter installed, you must use the ServeRAID Configuration program to define and configure your disk-array subsystem before you install your operating system.

Before you begin

Before you begin to install options in your server, read the following information:

???Become familiar with the safety and handling guidelines under ???Handling static-sensitive devices???, and read the safety statements in ???Safety information??? on page 32. These guidelines will help you work safely while working with your server or options.

???Make sure that you have an adequate number of properly grounded electrical outlets for your server, monitor, and any other options that you intend to install.

???Back up all important data before you make changes to disk drives.

???Have a small, flat-blade screwdriver available.

???For a list of supported options for your server, refer to http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat on the World Wide Web.

System reliability considerations

To help ensure proper cooling and system reliability, make sure that:

???Each of the drive bays has either a drive or a filler panel installed.

???The cover is in place during normal operation, or is removed for no longer than 30 minutes while the server is operating.

???There is space around the server to allow the server cooling system to work properly. Leave about 127 mm (5 in.) of space around the front and rear of the server.

???Cables for optional adapters are routed according to the instructions that are provided with the adapters.

???A failed fan is replaced within one hour.

Handling static-sensitive devices

Attention: Static electricity can damage electronic devices and your system. To avoid damage, keep static-sensitive devices in their static-protective bag until you are ready to install them.

To reduce the possibility of electrostatic discharge, observe the following precautions:

???Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you.

???Handle the device carefully, holding it by its edges or its frame.

???Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed printed circuitry.

???Do not leave the device where others can handle and possibly damage the device.

???While the device is still in its anti-static package, touch it to an unpainted metal part of the system unit for at least two seconds. (This drains static electricity from the package and from your body.)

???Remove the device from its package and install it directly into your system unit without setting it down. If it is necessary to set the device down, place it on its static-protective package. (If your device is an adapter, place it component side up.) Do not place the device on your system unit cover or on a metal table.

???Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather, as heating reduces indoor humidity and increases static electricity.

When working with some options such as hard disk drives and microprocessors, you must first remove the support bracket assembly to access the location of the option. The support bracket assembly consists of a support bracket, an air baffle, and a fan.

To remove the support bracket assembly, do the following:

1.Review the safety precautions in ???Safety information??? on page 32.

2.Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.

3.Remove the side cover (see ???Removing the side cover??? on page 38 for details).

4.If your server is a non-hot-swap model, continue with step 6.

5.If your server is a hot-swap model, press down on the latches on either side of connector J42, and remove the voltage regulator module (VRM) from connector J42. (See ???System-board option connectors??? on page 28 for connector locations.)

Note: Remember to reinstall this VRM after you reinstall the support bracket assembly.

6.Disconnect the fan cable (connector J10) from the system board. (See ???System- board internal cable connectors??? on page 29 for connector locations.)

Note: Remember to reconnect this cable after you reinstall the support bracket assembly.

7.Carefully pull up on the end of the support bracket assembly that is closer to the rear of the server; then, rotate and lift the support bracket assembly out of the server.

Chapter 5. Installing options 39

The system scans PCI slots 1 through 5 to assign system resources; then, the system starts (boots) the PCI devices in the following order: PCI slots 1 and 2, system board SCSI devices, and then PCI slots 3 through 5.

???If you plan to use the Wake on LAN (WOL) function in the server, you must install a Wake on LAN-enabled NIC adapter in PCI slot 1, and install the Wake on LAN cable that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter to connect this adapter to the system board. You must use a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter as identified in the xSeries 220 ServerProven list at http://www.ibm.com/pc/compat/. Only PCI slot 1 supports a Wake on LAN-enabled adapter. For additional information on the Wake on LAN function, adapter, and cables, refer to the documentation that comes with the Wake on LAN adapter.

???If you plan to use the optional system-management adapter in the server, you must install the optional system-management adapter in PCI slot 2. Only PCI slot 2 supports the optional system-management adapter. For additional information on the optional system-management adapter, refer to the documentation that comes with the adapter.

drives. Refer to the documentation that comes with your server for additional information.

Your server supports four 1-inch (26 mm) slim, 3.5-inch SCSI hard disk drives in the hard disk drive bays (4, 5, 6, and 7). You can install four non-hot-swap hard disk drives in the models that have the standard non-hot-swap drive cage. You can install three hot-swap hard disk drives and one non-hot-swap hard disk drive in the models that come with the hot-swap drive cage. Both the non-hot- swap and hot-swap drive cages hold a maximum of three hard disk drives. The drive cages comprise bays 5, 6, and 7.

???Bay 2 comes without a device installed. This bay is for a 5.25-inch, half-high, removable-media drive, such as a tape backup drive.

???Bay 4 is for a 3.5-inch, slim, removable-media drive or SCSI hard disk drive.

Note: The electromagnetic interference (EMI) integrity and cooling of the server are both protected by having bays 1 through 4 covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another.

Preinstallation steps (all bays)

Before you install drives in your server, verify that you have all the cables and any other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.

1.Read ???Safety??? on page v, ???Handling static-sensitive devices??? on page 31, and the documentation that comes with your drive.

2.Choose the bay in which you want to install the drive.

3.Check the instructions that come with the drive to see if you need to set any switches or jumpers on the drive.

Chapter 5. Installing options 45

5. If the drive is a laser product, observe the following safety precaution.

Statement 3

CAUTION:

When laser products (such as CD-ROMs, DVD drives, fiber optic devices, or transmitters) are installed, note the following:

???Do not remove the covers. Removing the covers of the laser product could result in exposure to hazardous laser radiation. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.

???Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein might result in hazardous radiation exposure.

Danger

Some laser products contain an embedded Class 3A or Class 3B laser diode. Note the following. Laser radiation when open. Do not stare into the beam, do not view directly with optical instruments, and avoid direct exposure to the beam.

6.Touch the static-protective bag containing the drive to any unpainted metal surface on the server; then, remove the drive from the bag and place it on a static- protective surface.

7.Set any jumpers or switches on the drive according to the documentation that comes with the drive.

8.Push the drive into the bay.

9.If the drive is an IDE device, plug one connector of the IDE cable into the back of the drive and the other end of the cable into the IDE connector (J30) on the system board.

If the drive is a SCSI device, plug one connector of the SCSI cable into the back of the drive and make sure that the other end of the cable is connected to the SCSI connector (J41) on the system board.

Note: Ensure that you route the SCSI cable so that it does not block the airflow to the rear of the drives or over the microprocessors.

10.Connect a power cable to the back of the drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted only one way.

11.If you are installing another drive, do so now. Otherwise, continue with the next step.

12.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the cover (see ???Installing the side cover??? on page 60 for details).

Chapter 5. Installing options 47

9.If you have other options to install or remove, do so now; otherwise, replace the support bracket assembly; then, go to ???Installing the side cover??? on page 60.

Note: If your server is a hot-swap model, reinstall the VRM in connector J42 after you reinstall the support bracket assembly. (See ???System-board option connectors??? on page 28 for connector location.)

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.

Chapter 5. Installing options 49

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

???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.

Connecting external options

You can attach a SCSI storage expansion enclosure to your server if you install an optional SCSI adapter in one of the five PCI adapter slots on the system board.

Installation procedure

To attach an external device, do the following:

1.Read ???Before you begin??? on page 31 and the documentation that comes with your options.

2.Be sure that your server and all attached devices are turned off.

3.Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server.

Chapter 5. Installing options 65

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.

Chapter 5. Installing options 67

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

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.

Server Support

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.

??? 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

5.When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select the test you want to run from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on 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.

To view the test log:

1.Turn on the server and watch the screen.

If the server is on, shut down your operating system and restart the server.

2.When the message F2 for Diagnostics appears, press F2.

If a power-on password is set, the server prompts you for it. Type in the appropriate password; then, press Enter.

3.When the Diagnostic Programs screen appears, select Utility from the top of the screen.

4.Select View Test Log from the list that appears; then, follow the instructions on the screen.

The system maintains the test-log data while the server is powered on. When you turn off the power to the server, the test log is cleared.

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

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.

Table 15. Diagnostic LEDs

Chapter 6. Solving problems 99

Troubleshooting charts

You can use the troubleshooting charts in this section to find solutions to problems that have definite symptoms.

Attention: If diagnostic error messages appear that are not listed in the following tables, make sure that your server has the latest levels of BIOS, ServeRAID, and diagnostics microcode installed.

See ???Starting the diagnostic programs??? on page 88 to test the server. If you have run the diagnostic test programs or if running the tests does not reveal the problem, call for service.

Look for the symptom in the left column of the chart. Instructions and probable solutions to the problem are in the right column. If you have just added new software or a new option and your server is not working, do the following before using the troubleshooting charts:

???Remove the software or device that you just added.

???Run the diagnostic tests to determine if your server is running correctly.

???Reinstall the new software or new device.

The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply only to Machines you purchase for your use, and not for resale, from IBM or your reseller. The term "Machine" means an IBM machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them. The term "Machine" does not include any software programs, whether pre-loaded with the Machine, installed subsequently or otherwise. Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the country where you acquire the Machine. Nothing in this Statement of Warranty affects any statutory rights of consumers that cannot be waived or limited by contract. If you have any questions, contact IBM or your reseller.

Machine - IBM xSeries 220

Warranty Period*

???Canada - Parts: Three (3) years Labor: Three (3) years

???United States and Puerto Rico - Parts: Three (3) years Labor: One (1) year

IBM will provide warranty service without charge for:

1.parts and labor during the first year of the warranty period

2.parts only, on an exchange basis, in the second and third years of the warranty period.

IBM will charge you for any labor it provides in performance of the repair or replacement.

*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information. Some IBM Machines are eligible for on-site warranty service depending on the country where service is performed.

When warranty service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item.

Any feature, conversion, or upgrade IBM or your reseller services must be installed on a Machine which is 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade. Many features, conversions, or upgrades involve the removal of parts and their return to IBM. A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of the removed part.

Before IBM or your reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts, options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service.

You also agree to

1.ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions that prevent its exchange;

2.obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a Machine that you do not own; and

3.where applicable, before service is provided

a.follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service request procedures that IBM or your reseller provides,

b.secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine,

c.provide IBM or your reseller with sufficient, free, and safe access to your facilities to permit them to fulfill their obligations, and

d.inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine???s location.

IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in IBM???s possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for the transportation charges.

Neither IBM nor your reseller is responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary or personal information contained in a Machine which you return to IBM or your reseller for any reason. You should remove all such information from the Machine prior to its return.

Production Status

Each IBM Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously installed. Regardless of the Machine???s production status, IBM???s appropriate warranty terms apply.

Limitation of Liability

Circumstances may arise where, because of a default on IBM???s part or other liability, you are entitled to recover damages from IBM. In each such instance, regardless of the basis on which you are entitled to claim damages from IBM (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), IBM is liable for no more than

1.damages for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property; and

2.the amount of any other actual direct damages, up to the greater of U.S. $100,000 (or equivalent in local currency) or the charges (if recurring, 12 months??? charges apply) for the Machine that is the subject of the claim.
