[. . . ] You will need to open the server, change a jumper setting, use Setup to check and set diskette drive options, and change the jumper back. For a step-by-step procedure, see the heading "CMOS Jumper. " Starting Setup You can enter and start Setup under several conditions: · · · When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test. When you reboot the server by pressing <Ctrl+Alt+Del> while at the DOS operating system prompt. When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the "Clear CMOS" position (enabled); for the procedure, see "Server Board Jumpers". In the three conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt: Press <F2> to enter SETUP NOTE If the BIOS setup option "POST Diagnostic Screen" is enabled (Default), you will not see the message "Press <F2> to enter SETUP. " This message is hidden by the Manufacturer's Splash screen. To see the message, press the <ESC> key while the splash screen is displayed. This will temporarily disable the splash screen allowing you to see the message. In a fourth condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not the <F2> prompt: Warning: cmos checksum invalid Warning: cmos time and date not set In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot. 20 Configuration Software and Utilities Using the System Setup Utility The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the Server Board Resource CD-ROM shipped with the server. Run the System Setup Utility to: · · · · · · · · · Set boot device priority Set passwords and security options View system events View FRU information View sensor data records Update system firmware and BIOS Save and restore the system configuration Set up the server to send alerts for platform events Set up the server for remote management You can specify the boot device sequence and set up system passwords and security options. Both utilities access the same stored configuration data for these items, and the result of making a change to these settings using either utility is identical. The SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. Creating SSU Diskettes You can run the SSU directly from the Utilities menu of the System Resource CD-ROM, from a set of DOS diskettes, or from the service partition of the hard disk. If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must create the SSU diskettes from the Resource CD-ROM as follows: 1. Choose Create Diskettes > Create Diskettes by Device/Function > System Setup Utility. Alternatively, if you have a workstation with the Microsoft® Windows® operating system, you can insert the CD into that system and create the diskettes on that system. Running the SSU When the SSU starts in the default local execution mode, the SSU accepts input from the keyboard or mouse. If you run the SSU from read-only media, such as the CD-ROM, you cannot save user preference settings (such as screen colors). The SSU will not operate from a "DOS box" running under an operating system such as Windows®. Start the SSU using one of the following methods: ­ From diskettes: Insert the first SSU diskette in drive A and boot the server from the diskette. After loading completes the SSU starts automatically. MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 21 ­ From the System Resource or ISM CD-ROM: Boot the server to the System Resource CD and start the SSU from the Utilities menu. ­ From the Service Partition: Boot the server to the Service Partition and execute the following DOS commands: C:\> cd ssu C:\SSU> ssu. bat 2. Working with the GUI You can access features of the GUI using the mouse or keyboard: · Mouse ­ Click once to choose menu items and buttons or to select items in a list, such as the Available Tasks list. To run a list item, such as one of from the Available Tasks list, select the item and click OK or double-click the item. Keyboard ­ Use the tab and arrow keys to highlight buttons and press the spacebar or <Enter> to execute. [. . . ] If these pins are jumpered, write protect is disabled allowingthe board's ability to do a the BMC boot block to be update is enabled. This feature is used in the rare case that a BIOS update requires a BMC boot block update as well. These pins should not be jumpered for normal operation. 3-4 MAXDATA PLATINUM 5200 Server Mainboard 39 Table 9. Configuration Jumper (CN53) Jumper Name PCIXPCIX1 DIS Pins 1-2 What it does at system reset Placing a jumper on pins 1-2 disables the 100 MHz PCIXPCI-X mode for the CIOBX2 primary channel and forces the bus to run 66 MHz PCI.
