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. Viewing Distance Lower Back Support Seat Height Adjust the monitor so the top of the screen is at, or slightly below, eye level. Place the monitor at a comfortable viewing distance, Chapter 1. Introducing the PC Server 704 23 Arranging Your Workspace 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 exhausted other methods of reducing glare. Dust buildup compounds problems associated with glare. Remember to clean your monitor screen periodically using a soft cloth 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, 127 mm (5 in.) of air space is sufficient. Also, make sure the vented air is not blowing on someone else. 24 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Arranging Your Workspace 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 cord directly into an electrical outlet. 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 User's Reference. Chapter 1. Introducing the PC Server 704 25 Arranging Your Workspace 26 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Chapter 2. Installing Your Software Before you install software in your server, you need to determine the hardware, software, and operating system requirements for your operating environment. You might need to use the configuration programs on an adapter's Option Diskette before you install an operating system and other software. This chapter provides hardware and software factors that you might want to consider before selecting and installing an operating system.

Your server offers multi-processor capability so that you can take advantage of SMP technology. You can maximize the benefits of this technology, provided that you have an SMP-capable operating system, such as one of the following, installed in your server: OS/2 for SMP OS/2 LAN Server 4.0 Advanced Windows NT Server 3.51 For the latest information about SMP operating systems supported by your PC Server 704: – In the U.S., call 1-800-772-2227. – In Canada, call 1-800-565-3344. – In all other countries, contact the IBM support organization that services your area, your IBM marketing representative, or your IBM reseller. Some security features are operating-system dependent, which means that if you want to use them, you must install an operating system that supports them. To find out whether an operating system supports specific security features, see the documentation that comes with the operating system. If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, logical drives, except the startup drive, may be any size. However, the startup drive must be less than 2046 MB if you use the high-performance file system (HPFS), or 1024 MB if you use the file-allocation table (FAT). This applies to all operating systems. Using ServerGuide One of the easiest and most efficient ways to install an operating system and take advantage of a wide variety of the latest software for networking environments is to use ServerGuide. If your server came with ServerGuide, you can install an operating system from the ServerGuide package, or you can install an 28 PC Server 704 User's Handbook operating system that you purchased and still use many of the features available on ServerGuide. (For example, you can install NetFinity, a LAN systems-management program; run demonstration programs; use the performance-tuning feature; and do much more.) If you have not already done so, take the time now to read the information that came with the ServerGuide package; then, return here. Before You Begin You can install an operating system from the diskettes or CDs that come with the operating system. The ServerGuide package contains various operating-system updates that are designed specifically to work with your server. Some of these updates are not provided in existing, off-the-shelf versions of the operating systems. If you intend to use one or more of the operating systems that are provided in the ServerGuide package, use ServerGuide for the installation. Note: You can use ServerGuide to install an off-the-shelf operating system that you purchased. If you choose not to use ServerGuide to install your operating system, you must install the SCSI and SVGA device drivers. The device drivers are on the diskettes that came with the server. Follow the installation instructions in your operating-system documentation. The README files on the diskettes might contain additional information. Note: If your server has a network adapter or RAID adapter installed, you must install the required device drivers. Follow the installation instructions in your network-adapter documentation or RAID adapter documentation. Before you install an operating system on a server that has a RAID adapter installed, use the configuration programs on the RAID adapter Option Diskette to view or change the existing disk-array configuration. Refer to the RAID adapter documentation for detailed instructions; then, return here. Chapter 2. Installing Your Software 29 Before you install an operating system, configure the network adapter for your operating system. Use the configuration programs on the network-adapter configuration diskette to view or change the existing configuration. Refer to your network-adapter documentation for detailed instructions; then, return here.

This allocation process is referred to as configuration. The steps required to configure your server depend on the number and variety of devices and programs that you install. Your server has the flexibility and power to support several types of adapters. This flexibility lets you choose from among thousands of adapters and devices that comply with any of the following standards: Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) SCSI-2 (SCSI) In general, the greater the number and variety of hardware devices and software programs you install in your server, the more you will have to interact with your server and your devices to correctly configure your system. Several hardware configuration utility programs come with your server. Use the built-in Setup program to define the system date and time, and control access to the diskette drive. The System Configuration Utility (SCU) program is your main tool to configure the system. Use it to define most configuration settings. The values that you enter in the System Configuration Utility program override the entries in the Setup program. See “Using the SCSISelect Utility Program” on page 64 and the SCSI Software User's Guide for information on using the SCSI-2 utility programs to configure the SCSI devices that you attach to the SCSI controllers on the system board. Configuration switches and jumpers reside on the system board. The switches enable you to define some configuration settings. 40 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Setup Program If your server came with a network adapter, use the network-adapter configuration program to configure and test the network adapter. Follow the instructions in your network-adapter documentation. If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, refer to the RAID adapter documentation for configuration information. Using the Setup Program The Setup program stores configuration values in nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) and in the battery-backed memory of the real-time clock. Entries that you make in the System Configuration Utility program overwrite the entries made in the Setup program. You perform much of the system configuration through the System Configuration Utility program, not the Setup program. Because the System Configuration Utility program resides on diskette, you must enable the diskette drive before using the System Configuration Utility. After configuring the system, you might prefer to secure it against casual or unauthorized access by running the Setup program to disable the diskette drive. In most cases, the server operates using the default settings, and you need to change the settings only to resolve configuration conflicts or to enable or change device function (for example, defining diskette drive types). Review this section and the information that came with the device before making changes. Also, record the current settings (see “Recording and Restoring Default Settings” on page 43) before making any changes. Changing Settings You can advance through the screens by pressing the Page Up (PgUp) or Page Down (PgDn) key. Use the Up Arrow (↑) or Down Arrow (↓) key to advance through the items on the screen. Change selections by first advancing to the item that you want to change; then, use the plus key (+) or minus key (−) to make the change. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 41 Setup Program Online Help information is available on the right side of the screen for each selection. To access menu-bar selections within the Setup program, use the Right Arrow (→) or Left Arrow (←) key. The Setup program consists of the following menu bar selections: Main: Select this choice to set the System Time and Date. This menu also allows you to view or change configuration settings for diskette drives. Advanced: This choice allows you to view the settings of integrated peripherals, and identify the type and speed of the processors. Security: Select this choice to set passwords. Help: General help information is available by pressing F1. Starting the Setup Program To access the Setup program: 1. Remove all diskettes from the server. 2. Turn on the server and watch the screen. Be ready to act quickly. 3. Immediately after the system initialization procedure begins and before the IBM logo screen appears, the system prompts you to Pressif you want to run SETUP. As soon as you see that prompt, press F1. If the Setup program screen does not appear, restart your system and try again. Note: If a configuration error occurs, a prompt appears before the operating system starts (see “Configuration Conflicts” on page 61). 4. If you have set a user or administrative password, the system prompts you to enter it. If you have set both passwords, enter either one. 5. Follow the instructions on the screen to view or change the configuration. You must correctly exit from the Setup program to save the configuration information. 42 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Setup Program 6. Press Esc or move the cursor to the Exit option on the menu bar. 7. Select Exit from the menu bar. 8. Select Exit Saving Changes. Recording and Restoring Default Settings If you have a printer attached to your server, you can use the Print Screen key to print the configuration settings. The default settings are helpful when you install additional options, or if the system requires service. Also, record the new settings each time that you make changes. Be sure to record the current configuration settings in “Installed Device Records” on page 280. You can restore default settings by using the Setup program. To restore default settings: 1. Turn on the server. 2. Press F1 to enter the Setup program. 3. Select Exit from the menu bar. 4. Select Load Setup Defaults. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 43 Setup Program Disabling the Diskette Drive After configuring the system, you might prefer to secure the system against casual or unauthorized access by running the Setup program to disable the diskette drive. This is especially useful in securing the System Configuration Utility program, which is provided on diskette. You can disable the diskette drive through the Setup program: 1. Turn on the server. 2. Press F1 to enter the Setup program. 3. Select Main from the menu bar. 4. Select Floppy Options. 5. Select the drive that you want to disable. 6. Press Esc or move the cursor to the Exit option on the menu bar. 7. Select Exit from the menu bar. 8. Select Exit Saving Changes. 44 PC Server 704 User's Handbook System Configuration Utility Using the System Configuration Utility Program The System Configuration Utility program provides a convenient method to configure various system settings. This program automatically configures system adapters and maintains system parameters. Because the System Configuration Utility program assigns system resources, conflicts between adapters are less likely to occur. In most cases, the server operates with the configuration default settings. If a conflict does occur, see “Configuration Conflicts” on page 61. You must use the System Configuration Utility program anytime you want to change resource allocations, such as: Adding, deleting, or moving ISA or EISA devices Resolving conflicts Maintaining security functions The System Configuration Utility program automatically configures PCI devices, Plug and Play devices, and system memory. Each time that you use the System Configuration Utility program to configure your server, the configuration information is saved to the nonvolatile random-access memory (NVRAM) and in a backup file (with an extension of .CMS). Only devices that you install and configure correctly appear on the System Configuration Utility program screens. Review this section and the information included with the devices you are adding before making changes. Also, record the current settings (see “Recording the SCU Program Settings” on page 51) before making any changes. The values you enter using the System Configuration Utility program override the entries in the Setup program. Chapter 3.

Be sure to record the current configuration settings in the tables in “Installed Device Records” on page 280. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 51 Security Defining Security To control access to your server, you can implement several of the security measures described in your User's Reference, including password protection. Password Overview Two types of passwords are available with the PC Server 704. These are the administrative and user passwords. You can set both passwords using the Setup program and the System Configuration Utility program. Note: Table 8 on page 281 provides the default values for all security-related data fields. Enter Password appears on the screen to prompt you. (The passwords do not appear on the screen as you type them.) If you enter the wrong password, Enter Password appears again. After three incorrect attempts, you must turn off the server and start again. Note: You can use any combination of up to seven characters (A–Z, a–z, and 0–9) for your passwords. For additional security, the user and administrative passwords should not be the same. Keep a record of your password in a secure place. The following table summarizes the levels of security with the different levels of password protection. 52 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Security Type of Password Results No password set No password required to start system. No password required to access the System Configuration Utility program and Setup program. User can access all System Configuration Utility program functions. Secure mode is not functional. User password only User must enter password to complete the system startup. Password required to access the System Configuration Utility program, Setup program, and disable secure mode. User can access all System Configuration Utility program functions. Administrative password only No password required to start system. Password required to access Setup program. User can access the System Configuration Utility program, but password is required to access sensitive SCU functions. Secure mode is not operational. Administrative and user passwords User must enter either password to complete the system startup. User must enter either password to access System Configuration Utility program, or Setup program. Administrative password required to access sensitive SCU functions. User password required to disable secure mode. You may prefer to set the administrative password in the Setup program before you configure the system. This will help secure your configuration data by restricting access to some System Configuration Utility program functions. See “Administrative Password” on page 54 for instructions for setting the administrative password. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 53 Security Administrative Password If you have set an administrative password, you must enter it to use System Configuration Utility functions that allow you to change configuration data. Before you set an administrative password, you might want to first set your drive-startup sequence, as described in “Setting the Drive-Startup Sequence” on page 56. If an administrative password is set and then forgotten, you can clear the password from memory using a system board configuration switch. Refer to “Clearing All Passwords (Switch S6A1-2)” on page 301 for more information. To set an administrative password in the Setup program: 1. Start the Setup program. 2. Select Set Administrative Password from the Security Menu screen. The Set Administrative Password screen appears. 3. Type a password in the Enter New Password data field. Note: To remove an administrative password, press Enter when the Enter New Password data field is blank. 4. Press Enter. The cursor moves to the Confirm New Password data field. 5. To verify that you typed the correct password, type the password in the Confirm New Password data field. If you did not type the correct password, you must re-enter the password in the Enter New Password data field. Return to step 3. 6. If you typed the correct password, press Enter to save it. Note: To change an existing administrative password, follow steps 1 through 6. The password becomes effective immediately after you save it. 54 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Security User Password You do not need to set a user password, but a user password helps to protect the information that you store in your server. It allows you to enable secure mode and write-protect the boot sector of a hard disk drive. Write-protecting the boot sector is a form of virus protection. If a user password is set and then forgotten, you can clear the password from memory using a system-board configuration switch. Refer to “Clearing All Passwords (Switch S6A1-2)” on page 301 for more information. To set a user password in the Setup program: 1. Start the Setup program. 2. Select Set User Password on the Security Menu screen. The Set User Password screen appears. 3. Type the password in the Enter New Password data field. 4. Press Enter. The cursor moves to the Confirm New Password data field. 5. To verify that you typed the new password correctly, type the password in the Confirm New Password data field. If you did not type the correct password, you must re-enter the password in the Enter New Password data field. Return to step 3. 6. If you typed the correct password, press Enter to save it. Note: To change an existing user password, follow steps 1 through 6. The password becomes effective immediately after you save it. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 55 Security Setting the Drive-Startup Sequence The drive startup sequence allows you to control the startup sequence of the drives in your server. Each time you turn on the server, it checks the drives as it looks for the operating system. The order in which the system checks the drives is the drive-startup sequence. In most cases, you do not need to change the default drive-startup sequence. However, you might want to do so if you are working with multiple operating systems, or diskette drives of different sizes. The default drive-startup sequence first checks the primary diskette drive for a self-starting (bootable) diskette. If one is present, the operating system or program is loaded from the diskette. If not, the system then checks the primary hard disk drive for an operating system. If one is present, it loads the operating system from that hard disk drive. If you start the system from a diskette, the drive that contains the diskette becomes drive A, regardless of the defined sequence, and the first hard disk drive that you select in the startup sequence becomes drive C. If you elect to switch the startup sequence of the diskette drives, use the Floppy Options selection in the System Configuration Utility program Main Menu screen. To change the startup sequence: 1. Start the System Configuration Utility program. 2. Select Peripheral Configuration Group. 3. Scroll through the settings and locate the Boot Subsystem Group; then, follow the instructions on the screen. 56 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Security Secure Mode Secure mode secures the system against unauthorized use. Secure mode inhibits keyboard and mouse input, and disables the power switch and reset button. Secure mode takes effect when the keyboard and mouse remain inactive for an amount of time that you determine. You can gain access to the system only after you enter the correct user password. Note: You must set a user password before you can enable secure mode. Refer to the following table for information on the options available for the secure mode. Options Description Hot Key Option Specifies a set of keyboard commands that will place the system immediately into secure mode. Lockout Timer Specifies a keyboard and mouse inactivity time-out period of 1 to 128 minutes (in one minute increments). If the timer is enabled, and no keyboard or mouse activity occurs for the specified period, keyboard and mouse input is inhibited. Secure Boot Mode When this option is enabled, it disables the keyboard and mouse after POST completes and the operating system has loaded. Enter the user password to unlock the keyboard and mouse. Video Blanking Specifies whether secure mode will cause the monitor to blank out. Floppy Writes Specifies whether writing to a diskette is enabled or disabled when the system is in secure mode. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 57 Configuring EISA, ISA, and PCI Adapters Configuring EISA, ISA, and PCI Adapters Before installing a new device or program, read the documentation that came with it. Reading the instructions helps you to determine the steps required for installation and configuration. The following list provides a preview of the actions that might be required to configure your server. Note: During POST, your server automatically configures ISA Plug and Play, EISA, and PCI devices. Run the System Configuration Utility program when you first set up and configure your system, if you have added or removed any hardware options, or if you receive an error message instructing you to do so. 1. Start the System Configuration Utility program and: a. Record the current configuration settings. See “Starting the System Configuration Utility Program” on page 47. b. Install configuration files (.CFG). Note: If the .CFG files didn't come with the adapter, see “Configuration Files” on page 59. See “Recording the SCU Program Settings” on page 51 and “Starting the System Configuration Utility Program” on page 47. 2. Set jumpers or switches on the system board. See “Changing Jumper and Switch Settings” on page 289. 3. Set jumpers or switches on the device. See the instructions that came with the adapter. 4. Install the adapter in the server. See “Installing Adapters” on page 143. 5. Install software programs. See the installation instructions that came with the software. 58 PC Server 704 User's Handbook ISA/EISA Configuration 6. Resolve configuration conflicts. See “Configuration Conflicts” on page 61. Configuring ISA or EISA Features and Options Some ISA and most EISA devices come with option diskettes. These diskettes can contain any or all of the following types of information: Configuration files (.CFG) Diagnostic files Device drivers Sample applications (mini-applications) Configuration Files The server requires a configuration file to configure the server for ISA or EISA adapters. You must copy this configuration file, which has a file-name extension of .CFG, from the device option diskette to the System Configuration Utility program diskette before installing the device in the server. The configuration file reserves the system resources that the adapter needs to function properly. Some ISA adapters come with a diskette that contains the .CFG file for the adapter. If you want to install ISA adapters that did not come with their own .CFG files, use the System Configuration Utility program to create a unique .CFG file for each adapter. Note: The unique .CFG files are slot sensitive. That is, they should not be used to configure identical adapters in multiple systems unless you install the adapters in the same expansion slots within each system. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 59 ISA/EISA Configuration To create a unique .CFG file for an ISA adapter: 1. At the System Configuration Utility program Main Menu screen, select Add and Remove Boards. 2. Press F6 (Define ISA). 3. At the ISA Definition screen, type in the adapter manufacturer and description (for example, IBM Token Ring). Refer to the adapter documentation for information about specific configuration parameters, such as interrupt request levels (IRQs) or direct memory access (DMA) channels, that are required for the adapter. Then, follow the instructions on the screen to enter the appropriate parameters. 4. After you type in all of the appropriate parameters, press F10 to save the data. 5. At the Main Menu screen, select Save Configuration. Note: PCI devices do not require .CFG files. Diagnostic Files The Diagnostic program that comes with your server is the primary method of testing the server. Some optional devices and adapters come with option-specific diagnostic files. These files provide a more specialized test of the option. “About the Test Programs” on page 219 provides additional information about installing and using diagnostic files. Refer to the documentation that came with the option for information on installing and running option-specific diagnostics. Device Drivers Device drivers are programs designed to support a specific type of hardware device. They provide instructions that enable the server to interact with the device, or to take advantage of a device's special feature. The device driver might ship with the operating system, the application program, or on an option diskette. Not all devices require device drivers. Refer to the documentation that came with the option for additional information. 60 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Configuration Conflicts Sample Applications Some optional devices provide small applications or sampler files. These applications demonstrate the capabilities of the device and serve as software examples for programming the device. Refer to the documentation that came with the option for additional information. Configuration Conflicts The resources used by your server consist of IRQs, DMA channels, I/O ports (for example, serial and parallel), and memory. This information is useful when a resource configuration conflict occurs. Conflicts in the configuration occur if: An installed device requires the same resource as another device. (For example, if you install an ISA network adapter and an EISA network adapter, both requesting IRQ 5, you can configure only one of the adapters.) A device resource is changed (for example, changing jumper settings). A device function is changed (for example, assigning COM 1 to two different serial ports). An installed software program requires the same resource as a hardware device (for example, a device driver that uses the address required by the SVGA video controller). The steps required to resolve a configuration error depends on the number and variety of hardware devices and software programs that you install. If a hardware configuration error is detected, a configuration error message appears after the server completes POST, but before the operating system starts. You can bypass the error or start one of the configuration utility programs. Press Esc to bypass the error and load the operating system. Press F1 to start the Setup program. To start the SCU program, insert the diskette in the diskette drive and press F1. If the System Configuration Utility program resides on a hard disk drive, type SCU from a DOS prompt for the appropriate drive. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 61 Configuration Conflicts The Setup program and the System Configuration Utility program only configure the system hardware. These programs do not consider the requirements of the operating system or the application programs. See “Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts” on page 63 for additional information. Resolving Hardware Configuration Conflicts Use the following information to help resolve hardware configuration conflicts: 1. Run the System Configuration Utility program to view and change the resources that are used by the system board functions. Record the current settings before making any changes. (See “Starting the System Configuration Utility Program” on page 47 for instructions.) 2. Determine which adapter or device is causing the error. Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to update system configuration information (.CFG) files. (See “Step 3: Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.) 3. Change configuration resource allocations. Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to view or change system-board resource allocations. (See “Step 3: Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.) 4. Change adapter jumpers or switches. Jumpers and switches define the system resources that a device can use. If the settings are incorrect or set to use a resource that cannot be shared, a conflict occurs and the device remains deactivated. Use the Switch/Jumper Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to verify switches (see “Step 5: Switch/Jumper Settings” on page 50). If a change is required, see “Changing Jumper and Switch Settings” on page 289. In addition, read the documentation that came with the device. 5. Change system board jumpers or switches. If a change is required, see “Setting System-Board Configuration Switches” on page 299. 62 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Configuration Conflicts 6. Remove the device or adapter. Some configurations are not supported (for example, you cannot operate the server with two ISA SVGA adapters installed). If you must remove an adapter, see “Removing Adapters” on page 151. Resolving Software Configuration Conflicts The memory-address space and IRQs used by some hardware options might conflict with addresses defined for use through application programs. If there is a conflict, one or more of the following conditions might exist: The system cannot load the operating system. The system does not work. An application program does not operate, or it returns an error. Screen messages indicate a conflict exists. You can resolve conflicts by changing either the software or the hardware configuration. Note: Use the Change Configuration Settings selection in the System Configuration Utility program to view the addresses used by the system board functions and adapters. (See “Step 3: Change Configuration Settings” on page 49 for instructions.) Changing the Software Configuration If a device driver is causing a memory-address conflict, refer to your operating-system documentation or the documentation supplied with the device drivers. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 63 SCSISelect Utility Program Using the SCSISelect Utility Program The SCSI-2 controllers have built-in menu-driven configuration utility programs that allow you to view and change SCSI settings. You can use the SCSISelect Utility programs to: Change the default values Verify and change configuration conflicts Format a new SCSI hard disk Starting the SCSISelect Utility Program You can access this program when you start the server.

SCSI Disk Utilities To see the IDs assigned to each SCSI device or to format a drive connected to the built-in SCSI controllers, select SCSI Disk Utilities from the SCSISelect Utility program menu. To use the utility program, select a drive from the list. Read the screens carefully before making a selection. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 65 SCSISelect Utility Program Using the Low-Level Format Program If your server did not come with a RAID adapter preinstalled, you can format your hard disks using the Low-Level Format feature of the SCSISelect Utility program. Depending on the hard disk capacity, the Low-Level Format program could take up to two hours. Note: If your server came with a RAID adapter preinstalled, refer to the RAID adapter documentation for instructions to format your hard disk drives. When To Use the Low-Level Format Program Use the Low-Level Format program: When you are installing software that requires a low-level format When you get recurring messages from the diagnostic tests directing you to run the Low-Level Format program on the hard disk As a last resort before replacing a failing hard disk drive Note: For information about backing up all of your files, see your operating-system documentation. Starting the Low-Level Format Program 20 Attention: The low-level format programs provided with your server erase all data from your hard disk drive. Before you run a low-level format program, be sure to back up your data. Note: Refer to the RAID adapter documentation for instructions for performing a low-level format on a hard disk drive attached to the PCI RAID adapter. 1. If the hard disk is working, make a backup copy of all the files and programs on the hard disk. 2. Select SCSI Disk Utilities. 3. Select the disk drive that you want to format; then, press Enter. 66 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter 4. Select Format disk; then, follow the instructions on the screen. Note: Hard disks normally contain more tracks than their stated capacity (to allow for defective tracks). A message appears on the screen if the defect limit is reached. If this happens, have the system serviced. 5. To install an operating system, refer to your operating-system documentation. Also, follow the instructions in Chapter 2, “Installing Your Software” on page 27. Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Some PC Server 704 models come with a preinstalled 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter. This adapter contains three LEDs visible from the back of the server that show the status of the connection, monitor read and write activity, and indicate a 100 Mbps connection. See “Troubleshooting the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter” on page 253 for more information. During POST, your server automatically configures your Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program comes with your server. The program automatically installs necessary Novell NetWare 3.x drivers, tests the adapter, and displays a help file with installation instructions for unsupported network operating-system drivers. Note: You must use Category 5 cabling when operating the Ethernet adapter at 100 Mbps. The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program supports the following operating system: Windows NT Server 3.51 Use the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program each time you install an adapter. You can also use the program to isolate problems during troubleshooting. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 67 Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Installing Multiple Adapters Repeat the configuration procedures for each adapter that you want to install. Even though the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program can detect all the PCI adapters in your server, you must perform the installation process before you can use the adapter. Configuring for Windows NT Server 3.51 To configure the Ethernet adapter for the Windows NT Server 3.51 operating system: 1. Double-click the Network icon in the Control Panel. 2. Click the Add Adapter button. 3. Scroll to the end of the list and select Requires disk from manufacturer. 4. Insert the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers diskette in drive A and click OK. The Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program automatically scans server resources and determines what resources were assigned to the adapter. 5. Click Test. If you just added the adapter, the network driver will not be active and the diagnostics will test the adapter and its connection to the network. If you are testing an adapter that has already been installed, the network driver will probably be active and the diagnostics will test the driver. This diagnostic tracks the actual network activity of the driver. 6. Click OK to accept the configuration. 7. Click OK in the Network Settings dialog and, when prompted, restart Windows NT Server 3.51. 68 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Troubleshooting Make sure that you are using the drivers that come with this adapter. Make sure that the driver is loaded and the protocols are bound. See the Network Bindings dialog box in Windows NT Server 3.51 to verify this. Make sure that you are using Category 5 cabling when operating at 100 Mbps. Test the adapter using the instructions in “Configuring for Windows NT Server 3.51” on page 68. Check with your LAN administrator. Configuring for Other Operating Systems Refer to the help files on the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers program for instructions on configuring for other operating systems. To view the help files, insert the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers diskette in drive A, and switch to that drive. At the operating-system prompt, type SETUP \README. Then, press Enter. Select Installing 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter drivers. Duplexing Duplexing is a performance option that lets you choose how the adapter sends and receives packets over the network. There are three duplex modes: Full duplex The adapter sends and receives packets at the same time, increasing adapter performance. This mode requires a full-duplex hub. Half duplex The adapter performs one operation at a time: it either sends or receives packets. Auto-negotiate The adapter negotiates with the hub on how to send and receive packets, through either full or half duplex mode. Chapter 3. Configuring Your Server 69 Configuring the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Configuring for Full-Duplex If you have a hub that does not support auto-negotiation, manually configure the adapter for full-duplex support. Configuration is specific to the driver that you are loading for your network operating system. Refer to Table 1. Note: You must set the adapter speed when configuring for full-duplex support. Do not leave the speed set to auto-negotiate. Driver How To Set Duplex Mode Windows NT Server 3.51 Define the Setup program: Other Network Operating Systems See the README file. To view the README files, insert the Ethernet Configuration and Drivers diskette, and type SETUP \README at the DOS prompt. Then, press Enter. 1. 2. 3. 4. Click Click Click Click Network on the Control Panel Configure. The Setup program runs. Change. Set the speed to 100 Mbps or 10 Mbps. Advanced. Set Duplex to Full. Table 1. Setting Duplex Mode Fast Ethernet Cabling The 100BASE-TX specifications support 100 Mbps transmission over two or four pairs of twisted-pair Ethernet cabling. In two pair cabling, one pair of cables is used for transmission, and the second is used for reception and collision detection. Because a 125 MHz frequency is used on the wire, 100BASE-TX uses Category 5 cabling. Segment lengths are limited to 100 meters (328 feet) with 100BASE-TX for signal timing reasons. Fast Ethernet Hubs New hubs are available to support a variety of Fast Ethernet LAN configurations. These hubs can be divided into two basic types: shared and switched. 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapters can be used with either type of hub for 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps operations. 70 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Configuring Other Network Adapters Shared Hubs In a shared network environment, servers are connected to hubs. A repeater is built into each port of the hub. All ports of the repeater hub share a fixed amount of bandwidth, or data capacity. A 100 Mbps shared hub means that all nodes on the hub must share the 100 Mbps or bandwidth. As stations are added to the hub, the effective bandwidth available to any individual station becomes smaller. All nodes must operate at the same speed, either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Fast Ethernet repeaters provide 100 Mbps of available bandwidth, ten times more than what is available with a 10 BASE-T repeater. Repeaters use a well-established, uncomplicated design, making them highly cost-effective for connecting workstations in a workgroup. Switched Hubs In a switched network environment, each port uses a fixed, dedicated amount of bandwidth. Network bandwidth is not shared among all stations. Each new station added to the hub receives access to the full bandwidth of the network. Data is sent only to the port that leads to the correct workstation. If a new workstation is added to a 100 Mbps switching hub, the new workstation receives its own dedicated, 100 Mbps link that does not affect the 100 Mbps bandwidth of other workstations. Switching hubs can effectively increase the overall bandwidth available on the network, significantly improving performance. Configuring Other Network Adapters If your server came with a preinstalled network adapter, or if you install this type of adapter, you must configure it as described in your network-adapter documentation.

Turn off the server and any attached devices, such as printers, monitors, and external drives. 2. If you are in the United Kingdom and have a modem or fax machine attached to your server, you must disconnect the telephone line from the server before unplugging any power cords (also known as power cables). When reassembling your server, you must reconnect the telephone line after you plug in the power cords. 3. Unplug all the power cords from electrical outlets. 4. Disconnect all communication cables from external receptacles. 5. Disconnect all cables and power cords from the back of the server. Note: Reconnect the cables or power cords only after you reassemble the server and put the covers back on. 4 CAUTION: Never remove the cover on a power supply. Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the power supplies. There are no serviceable parts inside the power supplies. If you suspect a problem with a power supply, contact an IBM service technician. Chapter 4. Installing Options 75 Electrical Safety 11 13 15 Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the chassis side and top covers before you turn on the server. If you operate the server without installing these covers, server components might become damaged. Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the internal support panel for the processor and memory boards before you install the chassis side and top covers and turn on the server. If you operate the server without installing this support panel, server components might become damaged. Attention: a. When you install adapters, processor boards, or memory boards in the server, be sure that they are completely and correctly seated in the system-board connectors before you apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapters that you are installing. b. Make sure you orient the processor board correctly before pressing it into its connector. Failure to do so could damage the processor board or the connector on the system board. Note: Be sure to select the correct connector on the system board when you are installing the processor and memory boards. 76 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Handling Static-Sensitive Devices Handling Static-Sensitive Devices 10 Attention: Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage hard disk drives, printed circuit boards, memory modules, and other server components. When you handle these static-sensitive components, observe the following precautions to avoid component damage: a. When you handle static-sensitive components, work at an ESD protected workstation. If an ESD protected workstation is not available, wear a static-protective wrist strap attached to any unpainted metal surface on your server. b. Handle static-sensitive components only by their edges. Never touch any exposed circuitry. After you remove them from their static-protective wrappers or from the server, place them component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface. c. Limit your movement. Movement can cause static electricity to build up around you. d. When you are installing a new option, touch the static-protective package containing the option to a metal expansion-slot screw or other unpainted metal surface on the server for at least 2 seconds. This reduces static electricity from the package and from your body. Do not open the static-protective package that contains the option until you are instructed to do so. Whenever possible, remove the option from its static-protective wrapper; then, install the option directly into the server without setting the option down. e. Do not slide a static-sensitive option over any surface or set the option down on a metal surface. Chapter 4.

You can increase the amount of memory in your server by installing options called memory-module kits. Your server uses 72-pin, parity, single-inline memory modules (SIMMs). You install memory-module kits into connectors on a memory board inside your server. The memory board contains two banks (1 and 2), arranged in 16 SIMM sockets. To add memory to your server, you can install additional memory-module kits on this memory board. You can install a maximum of 2 GB of memory in your server, with 128 MB memory modules in all 16 sockets (connectors J1 through J16). Each bank contains connectors for eight memory modules. As a minimum, your server requires 16 MB memory modules in connectors J1, J2, J3, and J4 in bank 1. To ensure proper server operation, you must maintain 4, 8, or 16 memory modules in your server. The memory-module kit sizes available for your server are 16 MB, 32 MB, 64 MB, and 128 MB. When you install 16 MB memory modules in a bank, all of the memory modules in that bank must be the same size. However, you can install 32 MB memory modules in the other bank. If you install 64 MB or 128 MB memory modules in one bank, and you want to install memory modules in the other bank, those memory modules must also be 64 MB or 128 MB memory modules. The correct speed for these kits is 60 ns. If additional memory is required, fill bank 1 first; then, continue with bank 2. Bank 1 must be fully populated before you can install memory modules in bank 2. If you need to install kits of a different size in bank 1, remove the preinstalled kits as described in “Removing Memory-Module Kits” on page 124, and install the other kits as described in this section. Table 2 on page 114 shows the memory configurations available for your server. If you plan to install two different sizes of memory-module kits on the memory board, use Table 2 as a guide. Chapter 4. Installing Options 113 Installing Memory-Module Kits Notes: 1. Use SIMMs that have tin-lead, alloy-plated-edge connectors. 2. Use SIMMs that are compatible with Joint Electron Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) standards. Contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative for a list of approved SIMMs. 3. The PC Server 704 does not support memory expansion adapters. Table 2.

Read the instructions that come with the adapter. Removed the server cover (see “Preparing to Install Options” on page 78). Your server has ten connectors called expansion slots. If your server came with a network adapter or a RAID adapter, they are installed in the appropriate slots. Notes: 1. If your server came with a preinstalled network adapter, or if you install this type of adapter, you must configure it as described in your network-adapter documentation. 2. If your server came with a RAID adapter, or if you install one, follow the instructions in the RAID adapter documentation for configuring the adapter. 3. If your RAID adapter has a backup battery pack, you must enable the backup battery pack before you can use the RAID adapter. The remaining slots are available for future expansion and growth. For example, you can add adapters to provide communication, specialized graphics, and sound. This extends the capabilities and power of your server. Many adapters provide bus-master capabilities, which enable the adapters to perform operations without interrupting the server's microprocessor. These expansion slots have Plug and Play capabilities. This feature requires a configuration file (.CFG) for each installed EISA or ISA adapter. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for information about creating configuration files. When operating Chapter 4. Installing Options 143 Installing Adapters systems that support the Plug and Play feature become available, your server will automatically configure itself when you install EISA, ISA, and PCI Plug and Play devices. Your server comes with a video controller. This video controller is an integrated component on the system board. It is not in an expansion slot. The integrated video controller has super video graphics array (SVGA) technology. The integrated video controller is not removable. If you want to disable this controller and use a video adapter instead, you must install a PCI video adapter in an expansion slot. When you install a PCI video adapter, the server BIOS automatically disables the integrated video controller. The following illustration shows the PCI and EISA expansion slots in your server. Keyboard Connector Mouse Connector Serial Connector (Com 2) Serial Connector (Com 1) Parallel Connector Video Connector PCI Expansion Slots EISA Expansion Slots Power Connectors 144 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Adapters Considerations Three types of adapters are available for your PC Server 704: Extended industry-standard architecture (EISA) Industry-standard architecture (ISA) Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) Before you continue with the adapter-installation procedure, you must adhere to the following requirements: Review 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 the switch or jumper settings on your adapter, follow the instructions that come with the adapter documentation. You can install EISA or ISA adapters in EISA slots 1–4 only. You can install full-length adapters in all EISA expansion slots. You can install PCI adapters in PCI slots 1–6 only. You can install full-length adapters in all PCI expansion slots. If you have high-performance adapters, such as network adapters, install them in the bottom three PCI slots. Your PC Server 704 uses a rotational interrupt technique to configure PCI adapters. This technique enables you to install a variety of PCI adapters that currently do not support sharing of PCI interrupts. Chapter 4. Installing Options 145 Installing Adapters Installation Procedure You can use any adapter that is compatible with an IBM PC AT or PC XT system (except for an 8-bit drop card that fits only in an 8-bit PC XT connector). 15a Attention: When you install adapters, processor boards, or memory boards in the server, be sure that they are completely and correctly seated in the system-board connectors before you apply power. Incomplete insertion might cause damage to the system board or the adapters that you are installing. To install an adapter, do the following steps: 1. Determine which expansion slot you will use for the adapter. The top six slots are for PCI adapters, and the bottom four slots are for EISA or ISA adapters. Check the instructions that come with the adapter for any requirements or restrictions. If there are no restrictions other than those listed in “Considerations” on page 145, you can use any empty EISA or PCI slot. 146 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Adapters 2.

Installing Options 155 Installing Internal Drives Installing Internal Drives If you add different types of drives, your system can read multiple types of media and store more data. Several types of drives are available, such as: Hard disk CD-ROM drive Tape Your server contains hardware that lets you 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. Each hot-swap drive bay has three indicator lights visible at the front of the server. Check the individual indicator lights to determine which drive is faulty and needs to be swapped out. When the indicator light indicates a drive fault, you can replace a hot-swap drive without turning off the server. Diskette Drive CD-ROM Drive Open Bays 12 Hot Swap Bays 156 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Internal Drives Each hot-swap drive that you plan to install must have a hot-swap-drive tray attached. The drive must have a single connector attachment (SCA) connector. Your server comes with 12 hot-swap drive trays. Internal Drive Bays Internal drives are installed in bays. All PC Server 704 models come with a preinstalled diskette drive and CD-ROM drive. The CD-ROM drive is installed in one of the four bays in the upper-left front of the server. You can install hot-swap drives in the 12 right bays only. The number of preinstalled hot-swap hard disk drives might vary according to the model that you purchased. Diskette Drive Bay Removable Media Bays Hot Swap Bays Chapter 4. Installing Options 157 Installing Internal Drives Considerations Your PC Server 704 comes with one SCSI CD-ROM drive and one 3.5-inch, 1.44 MB diskette drive. The upper-left front bays support half-high, removable-media drives. Notes: 1. Installing hard disk drives in the upper-left front bays is not recommended. The hard disk drives generate EMI. In addition, hard disk drives in these bays are more susceptible to ESD. 2. The server's EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having the upper-left front bays covered or occupied. When you install a drive, save the filler panel and EMI shield from the bay, in case you later remove the drive and do not replace it with another. You cannot install hot-swap drives in the upper-left front bays. Your server supports twelve 3.5-inch, half-high, hot-swap hard disk drives in the hot-swap bays. When you install drives in these bays, install the first drive in the top left bay and proceed with a left-to-right, top-to-bottom pattern. The hot-swap bays connect to two SCSI backplanes. The backplanes are the printed circuit boards behind the bays. Each backplane supports up to six hard disk drives. If you want to upgrade your server by installing a PCI RAID adapter, an 8-bit SCSI cable (the PC Server 4-Drop SCSI Cable) is available as an optional feature. If you upgrade your server and you want to install 16-bit devices, you might need a 16-bit cable. To order cables, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Note: Before you remove a hard disk drive, back up all data. 158 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Internal Drives Table 3 shows the widths, types, and maximum heights for the drives that you can install in each bay. Bay or Bank Drive Width Drive Type Drive Height Upper left 3.5-inch Diskette Half-high Upper-left front 3.5-inch or 5.25-inch Removable media1 Half-high Hot-Swap 3.5-inch Hard disk, hot-swap2 Half-high Notes: 1. Removable media include CD-ROMs and tapes. Installing hard disk drives in these bays is not recommended due to ESD and EMI issues. 2. If a hard disk drive is preinstalled, it is the startup (or boot) drive. Table 3. Maximum Allowable Drive Sizes SCSI Drives Some drives have a special design called small computer system interface, or “SCSI.” This design allows you to attach multiple drives to a single SCSI-2 connector. Notes: 1. Any information about SCSI drives also applies to other SCSI devices, such as scanners and printers. 2. If you plan to install both internal and external SCSI devices, you must follow the instructions in “Connecting External Options” on page 207, in addition to the instructions in this section. A 16-bit (wide) SCSI cable connects each hot-swap backplane to an integrated SCSI-2 controller on the system board; and an 8-bit SCSI cable connects the CD-ROM drive to the 8-bit connector on the top backplane. The 8-bit cable connected to the CD-ROM drive has two empty connectors that you can use to support additional 8-bit SCSI devices in the upper-left front bays. Chapter 4. Installing Options 159 Installing Internal Drives SCSI IDs If you install additional SCSI devices, each SCSI device that is connected to the integrated SCSI-2 controllers needs a unique identification (ID) so that the controllers can identify the devices and ensure that different devices do not attempt to transfer data at the same time. If you need to set IDs for SCSI devices, refer to the instructions that come with those devices. The SCSI ID for the preinstalled CD-ROM drive is set to 5. The SCSI ID for the backplane is set to 6. The SCSI ID for the SCSI-2 controller is set to 7. Your server automatically sets SCSI IDs for hot-swap hard disk drives, according to the jumper settings on the SCSI-2 backplanes. The server uses the hard disk drive SCSI IDs to send status information to the indicator lights above each hot-swap bay. Table 4 shows the SCSI IDs that the backplanes behind bays 1 to 12 assign for hot-swap hard disk drives. Bay 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 ID 8 9 10 11 12 13 8 9 10 11 12 13 Table 4. Automatically Assigned SCSI IDs To resolve a hard disk drive SCSI ID conflict, you can change the default ID addresses of the drives by changing the jumper settings on the SCSI backplane. The SCSI ID must be unique for each drive that you connect to each backplane. Each of the two SCSI backplanes in the server supports six of the hot-swap bays. The top six hot-swap drives (in bays 1 through 6) connect to the upper backplane. The lower six drives (in bays 7 through 12) connect to the lower backplane. 160 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Internal Drives The following illustration shows a SCSI drive backplane. 0 1 2 3 4 5 The connectors on the backplane are: .1/ .2/ .3/ .4/ .5/ .6/ .7/ .8/ J4 SCSI ID jumper block J3 SCSI ID jumper block J8 Fast SCSI ID connector J10 Power and ground from power distribution board J15 Fast/Wide SCSI connector J2 LED connector for drives 0, 1, and 2 J9 LED connector for drives 3, 4, and 5 J11 Multiprocessing-bus connector Chapter 4.

See “Setting SCSI IDs for External Devices” on page 209 for rules about setting SCSI IDs for devices. 2. This is the default jumper setting. The processing sequence for SCSI devices is set through the SCSISelect Utility program (refer to the SCSI Software User's Guide for more information). The sequence proceeds from the lowest SCSI ID to the highest (0 to 6, then 8 to 15). Termination (Internal SCSI Devices) The devices at both ends of the SCSI bus must be terminated. If you attach SCSI devices (internal or external), you must terminate the last device in the chain. Note: All of the preinstalled hot-swap drives in your server have automatic termination. If you attach internal SCSI devices to one of the SCSI-2 internal connectors, you must terminate the last internal device on the bus (cable) and disable the termination on the other devices connected to the internal SCSI controller. The SCSI-2 controller is already terminated. 162 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing Internal Drives Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI device for more information about termination. Refer to the User's Reference for additional information about your server's SCSI subsystem. Preinstallation Steps (All Bays) Before you install drives in your PC Server 704, verify that you have all of the cables, drive trays, and any other equipment specified in the documentation that comes with the internal drive. You might also need to perform certain preinstallation activities. Some of the steps are required only during the initial installation of an option.

To prevent unauthorized access inside the server, purchase and install two padlocks .2/, using the loop at the back of each side cover. 204 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Installing the Side Covers 7. Connect all cables to the back of the server; then, plug all power cords into properly grounded electrical outlets. Notes: a. If you are in the United Kingdom and have a modem or fax machine attached to your server, reconnect the telephone line after you plug in the power cords. b. If necessary, you can refer to the system-board layout in “The System Board” on page 288 for connector locations. Chapter 4. Installing Options 205 Installing the Side Covers What to do next? Installing an external option? — Go to “Connecting External Options” on page 207. No external options to install? – If you installed options during the initial setup of your server, go to “Installation Checklist” on page 37 to complete the installation procedure; then, return here. – If you installed hot-swap drives, you might need to update your server configuration parameters. – If you removed memory modules or internal drives, you must run the Setup program. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for instructions. – If you removed an ISA or EISA adapter, you must run the System Configuration Utility program. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for instructions. – Device drivers to install? (The instructions that come with the option will tell you if device drivers are required and how to install them.) If you do not need to install any device drivers or configure the system, your server is ready to use. 206 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Connecting External Options Connecting External Options Before you begin: Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77 (or your safety booklet). To connect external options (printer, scanner, SCSI devices, and so on) to your PC Server 704, see the documentation that comes with the options. Connecting External SCSI Devices The IBM PC Server Enterprise Storage Expansion Enclosure is one of several SCSI storage enclosures that you can attach to the PC Server 704. If you want to attach this device to your server, use the PC Server .8 mm to 68-Pin HD SCSI Cable. Note: If your server has a RAID adapter installed, you can use the external connector on the RAID adapter to attach external devices. Otherwise, you must install an additional SCSI-2 adapter that has an external connector. Chapter 4. Installing Options 207 Connecting External Options Cabling Requirements A 16-bit (wide) SCSI cable connects each hot-swap backplane to an integrated SCSI-2 controller on the system board; and an 8-bit SCSI cable connects the CD-ROM drive to the 8-bit connector on the top backplane. The 8-bit cable connected to the CD-ROM drive has two empty connectors that you can use to support additional 8-bit SCSI devices in the upper-left front bays. If you plan to install external SCSI devices, you must order an additional SCSI cable and a SCSI-2 adapter. That is, to use external devices, you must connect them to an optional SCSI-2 adapter, using a SCSI cable. Each SCSI-2 integrated controller can support a total of 14 devices, provided that you do not exceed the maximum cable lengths. Refer to your RAID adapter documentation to determine the number of internal and external connectors, channels, and SCSI devices that your RAID adapter supports. If you are using a SCSI data transfer rate greater than 5 MB per second, the maximum length of the SCSI bus (cable) must not exceed 3 meters (9.8 feet). If you are using a SCSI data transfer rate of 5 MB per second or slower, the maximum length of the SCSI bus cable must not exceed 6 meters (19.7 feet). These lengths apply to the combined lengths of the internal and external cables. Adhering to these standards ensures that your server operates properly. Before you install external SCSI devices, you must have the correct external SCSI cables. The cables must have the proper connector for the SCSI-2 adapter on one end, and the proper connector for the first external device on the other end. To select and order the correct cables for use with external devices, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. 208 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Connecting External Options Setting SCSI IDs for External Devices You must set a unique SCSI ID for each SCSI device that is connected to a SCSI-2 controller, so that the SCSI-2 controller can identify the devices and ensure that different devices do not attempt to transfer data at the same time. Therefore, do not set the SCSI IDs for external devices to the values that you use for internal devices. Refer to the instructions that come with the SCSI devices for more information about setting a SCSI ID. Notes: 1. If you install a SCSI-2 adapter, you can use the same SCSI IDs that you use for the integrated SCSI-2 controllers. 2. The two integrated SCSI-2 controllers on the system board operate independently. Each controller can support a maximum of 14, 8-bit or 16-bit SCSI devices. The 16-bit devices support SCSI IDs 0 to 15, and the 8-bit devices support SCSI IDs 0 to 7. Your server automatically sets SCSI IDs for hot-swap drives. These IDs are set according to the jumper settings on the hot-swap backplanes. The SCSI ID for the preinstalled CD-ROM drive is set to 5, the SCSI ID for the backplane is set to 6, and the SCSI ID for the SCSI-2 controller is set to 7. The processing sequence for SCSI devices is set according to their IDs. Chapter 4. Installing Options 209 Connecting External Options Installation Procedure To attach an external device: 1. Turn off the server and all attached devices. 2. Follow the instructions that come with the option to prepare it for installation and to connect it to the server. 3. Go to Table 13 on page 287 to record the type of external device that you installed and the location into which it is installed; then, go to “What to do next?” on page 211 to determine your next step. Keyboard Connector Mouse Connector Serial Connector (Com 2) Serial Connector (Com 1) Parallel Connector Video Connector PCI Expansion Slots EISA Expansion Slots Power Connectors 210 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Connecting External Options What to do next? If you installed options during the initial setup of your server, go to “Installation Checklist” on page 37 to complete the installation procedure; then, return here. If you installed hot-swap drives, you might need to update your server configuration parameters. Go to Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 to see if you need to configure your server. Note: If your server has a RAID adapter installed, refer to the RAID adapter documentation to see if you need to update your RAID configuration information; then, go to Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for additional details about configuration. If you removed memory modules or internal drives, you must run the Setup program. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for instructions. If you installed or removed an ISA or EISA adapter, you must run the System Configuration Utility program. See Chapter 3, “Configuring Your Server” on page 39 for instructions.

If you are familiar with these topics, select the appropriate instructions from the following list: To interpret an error message (for example, you have a 0370 on the screen), go to “POST Error Message Table” on page 232. If you want to verify that the system is operating correctly, go to “About the Test Programs” on page 219. For more information about a hardware failure (for example, keys on the keyboard not working) or a screen prompt, go to “Troubleshooting” on page 245. 18 Attention: To avoid personal injury or damage to your system when following the procedures in this chapter, review and observe all safety and electrostatic precautions provided in the PC Server 704 Safety Information booklet. Overview of the Diagnostic Tools System problems can be caused by hardware, software, or user error. (An example of a user error is pressing the wrong key.) You might be able to solve the problem yourself or provide helpful information to a service technician. The following tools are available to help you identify and resolve hardware-related problems: 214 Power-on self-test (POST) POST beep codes Test programs Error messages Troubleshooting charts Option Diskettes PC Server 704 User's Handbook Overview of the Diagnostic Tools Power-On Self-Test (POST) Each time you turn on the system, it performs a series of tests that check the operation of the system and some options. This series of tests is called the power-on self-test, or POST. POST does the following: Checks some basic system-board operations Checks the memory operation Starts the video operation peripherals are working Detects and initializes ISA devices Detects and configures EISA devices Detects and configures PCI devices Verifies that the diskette drive, hard disk drive, and other installed devices are working Check the indicator lights on the front of the server and the back of the power supplies. Verify that all of the amber LEDs are off. If an amber LED is on, see “Identifying Problems through Status Indicators” on page 258. Verify that all server devices are operating properly. If a device is not operating properly, ensure that it is not defective and is installed correctly. Replace defective devices and reinstall any device that is not installed correctly. If POST finishes without detecting any problems, a single beep sounds and the first screen of your operating system or application program appears. If no operating system is installed, the system prompts you to insert a startable diskette. Insert a diskette, and install an operating system. Follow the directions in your operating-system documentation and on the screen. Also see Chapter 2, “Installing Your Software” on page 27. If POST detects a problem, an error message appears on your screen. A single problem can cause several error messages to appear. When you correct the cause of the first error message, the other error messages probably will not appear on the screen the next time you turn on the system. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 215 Overview of the Diagnostic Tools POST Beep Codes POST generates one or more beeping sounds to indicate that the tests detect an error. One beep and the appearance of text on the monitor indicate successful completion of the POST. If the server halts before POST completes, one or more beeps are emitted to indicate that POST detects an error. Test Programs The QAPlus/PRO test programs, developed by DiagSoft, Inc. for IBM, are the primary method of testing the IBM PC Server 704. These programs require minimal interaction from you. You can use them to test the IBM components of the system and some external devices. The amount of time required to test all components depends on the number of components. The more optional adapters and devices you have attached to your system, the longer the testing takes. If you cannot determine whether a problem is caused by the hardware or by the software, you can run the test programs to confirm that the hardware is working correctly. The programs on the Diagnostic Diskette include the following: Diagnostic Tests The diagnostic tests identify most problems associated with the major components of your system. These programs test the system board, hard disk drives, diskette drives, CD-ROM drives, RAM, serial and parallel ports, video adapter, printer, keyboard, and mouse. Test options let you run groups of tests in a batch, specify parameters to use for each test (for example, video modes, port addresses, and so on), specify the number of passes you want to run (one to continuous), log the test results to a text format file, and save all test settings for future use. These test programs also allow you to view the server configuration information. For example, you can view the 216 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Overview of the Diagnostic Tools IRQ/DMA assignments, memory usage, device drivers, and so on. Utility Programs The Diagnostic Diskette also contains utility programs, such as an ASCII text editor and a diskette format program. Error Messages 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 indicated by error messages should be performed by a trained service technician. Hardware error messages that appear on the screen can be text, numeric, or both. Messages generated by your software—the operating system or application programs—generally are text messages, but they also can be numeric. Basically, there are four types of error messages. These include POST error messages, diagnostic error messages, POST beep codes, and software-generated messages. POST Error Messages POST error messages appear when, during startup, POST finds problems with the hardware or detects a change in the hardware configuration. A list of these error messages is given in “POST Error Message Table” on page 232. POST Beep Codes POST beep codes are sounds emitted from the speaker, if POST finds a problem. One beep indicates the POST completed successfully. If the server halts while running POST, one or more beeps indicate that a problem was found by the POST. A list of the beep error codes is given in “Beep Codes” on page 244. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 217 Overview of the Diagnostic Tools Diagnostic Error Messages Diagnostic error messages appear when a test program finds a problem with a hardware option. Normally, these messages are text, but they can be numeric. The test programs will generate one of the following return codes: 0 A return code of “0” indicates that the device passed its test. 1 A return code of “1” indicates that the device failed its test. 2 or higher A return code of “2” or higher indicates that the test stopped. Software-Generated Error Messages These messages appear if a problem or conflict is found by an application program, the operating system, or both. For an explanation of these messages, refer to the information that comes with your software package. Troubleshooting Charts The troubleshooting charts given in “Troubleshooting” on page 245 list symptoms of problems (for example, perhaps the symptom is “the mouse is not working”), as well as steps to correct the problems. Option Diskettes An optional device or adapter might come with a diskette. Option Diskettes usually contain diagnostic files or configuration files that the system needs to recognize and activate the option. If your optional device or adapter comes with an Option Diskette, you might need to install some configuration (.CFG) files or diagnostic files (.EXE or .COM). See Chapter 4, “Installing Options” on page 73 for instructions on installing the configuration or see “Installing Additional Test Programs” on page 263 for installing diagnostic files. 218 PC Server 704 User's Handbook About the Test Programs About the Test Programs This section includes useful information about navigating through the test programs, as well as procedures for starting and stopping them. These programs are designed to test the IBM PC Server 704. Non-IBM products tested with these programs might present misleading error messages or unexpected system responses. If you want to test a non-IBM product, refer to the information that comes with that product. Note: You might need to install a wrap connector on your active parallel port to obtain accurate parallel-port test results. If you do not have a wrap connector, contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 219 About the Test Programs The Main Menu of the Diagnostic Diskette The Main Menu is the starting point for all of the diagnostic tests. It contains the following choices: Diagnostics: When you select this choice from the Main Menu, the Diagnostics Menu appears. The Diagnostic Menu contains the following selections: – Quick Check automatically checks the hardware configuration and builds a group of tests based on the configuration check. The diagnostic program then runs the tests for each of the devices or modules found during the configuration check. Upon completion of the Quick Check, you are prompted to: Press any key to continue. Pressing any key at that point brings you back to the Diagnostic Menu. – Module Tests allow you to more rigorously test an individual module (or device such as a diskette drive) or specify a group of tests for several modules. In addition, you can specify how many times to run an individual test and how the test program should note and log any errors it finds. See “Using the Module Tests” on page 227 for more information about running the module tests. – Options allows you to set or change defaults that affect the reporting, error logging, and presentation of the error information. For more information about the options available, see “Test Options” on page 229. System Info: When you select this choice from the Main Menu, the System Info Menu appears. The System Info Menu allows you to view the server hardware and software configuration information. For example, you can view the IRQ/DMA assignments, memory usage, device drivers, and so on. Reports: When you select this choice from the Main Menu, the Reports Menu appears. The Reports Menu allows you to print the system information. Utilities: When you select this choice from the Main Menu, the Utilities Menu appears. The Utilities Menu provides access to additional programs on the Diagnostic Diskette.

Next and Previous LUN changes from one Logical Unit Number (LUN) or device to another (for example, HD1 to HD2, or Base Memory to Extended Memory). 222 + Displays next logical unit number (for example, COM1, COM2, or First Microprocessor, Second Microprocessor, and so on). − Displays previous logical unit number. PC Server 704 User's Handbook About the Test Programs Using the Command Line Options The following Command Line Options allow you to define specific conditions for running the diagnostic programs at startup time. At the operating system prompt, type QAPRO /XXX (where /XXX represents one of the following from the list below); then, press Enter: /B&W The /B&W option forces the program to load in black and white (monochrome) mode. /LOG=file The /LOG=file option directs the test programs to start using a specified Error Log file. /INT10 The /INT10 option forces the test programs to use the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) for screen writes. /OXXX The /OXXX option, where XXX=test group (for example, MBD/MEM/VID/HDU/FDU /KBD/COM/LPT, and so on), omits the designated test group from testing. (See /IXXX for a list of valid test groups.) /OALL The /OALL option omits all test groups from testing. (See /IXXX for more information.) /IXXX The /IXXX option, where XXX=test group, includes the designated test group. When used in conjunction with the /OALL option, you can specify the tests that you want to include. These options are helpful if you have insufficient memory available to load all of the test programs simultaneously, or if you want to test specific test groups. The valid test groups are: LPT COM HDU FDU VID MBD Parallel port Serial ports Hard disk (IDE only) Diskette drive Video System board Chapter 5. Solving Problems 223 About the Test Programs KBD PDV MEM SCU CDR SYS Keyboard Pointing device or mouse Memory SCSI CD-ROM System information/Utilities You can include this option multiple times. For example, to run the keyboard, SCSI, and CD-ROM test groups, type: QAPRO.EXE /OALL /IKBD /ISCU /ICDR /USRCONFIG=file The /USERCONFIG=file option tells the test programs to look for a user diagnostic configuration file other than the default USERDIAG.CFG. /SCRIPT=file[,R] The /SCRIPT=file[,R] option with the [,R] runs the selected script. Note: You can use a “–” instead of a “/” as the command line switch. 224 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Starting the Test Programs IntruderAlert Each time you start the diagnostic programs, IntruderAlert checks for damage to the Diagnostic Diskette.

If this is omitted, the diagnostic program loads only the program with the test settings as previously saved in the chosen Script File. 228 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Starting the Test Programs Test Options Each option that appears on the Options Menu is briefly described below. Halt on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, you can resume testing after a halt by pressing any key. If you select No, any error detected is logged (only if you enabled the Test Log) and the program continues testing without halting. Beep on Error: The default is No. If you select Yes, a beep sounds whenever the test program detects an error. Lap Count: This option allows you to set the number of times to run each group of tests. The default setting is 1. You can enter a number from 0 to 10. The looping is controlled on a block basis, not on an individual test basis. Therefore, if you select tests A, B, and C and the Lap Count is set to 3, the test sequence is ABC/ABC/ABC. Pause Control: You can choose to have the test programs pause between test modules and wait for you to press any key to continue. Also, you can choose to have the test program wait for a user response to indicate if the video tests pass. The default setting is Pause Between. The available choices are Pause Between and No Pause. If you choose No Pause, the test programs continue testing without a pause from one video test to the next, and from one test module to the next. Test Log: Allows you to select whether or not to do logging. You can select one of the following five choices: – – – – – No Logging COM1 LPT1 ASCII .DBF No Logging is the only selection that turns off Test Log. The other four selections enable Test Logging. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 229 Starting the Test Programs When Test Log starts, the test programs create a log with the following information: – The date and time the log was opened – The start and end times of each module tested and for each test selected for that module – The results of testing – The date and time that the log was closed Disabling the Test Log writes the date and time to the Test Log along with a message that the log was closed. Any Test Log is automatically closed upon exiting the program. If you enable Test Log, the hardware configuration is automatically entered at the beginning of the log. If you select ASCII File, the test programs prompt you to type in the name of the Test Log file. The test programs automatically assign the extension .LOG to the file if you do not specify a file-name extension. The file is stored in ASCII text format. You can then examine the file with most word processors at a later time. If you select .DBF File, the test programs prompt you to fill in the information on an Open DBF File screen. This creates a new file or opens an existing data base compatible file to insert new information on the current test machine. The Machine Type, Serial Number, and Work Center lines identify the system that is being tested. Note: If you plan to run hard disk tests and to do test logging, do the test logging on a drive other than the drive to be tested. If you log to a drive that is to be tested, the logging is disabled for the remainder of the test cycle. 230 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Starting the Test Programs – Test Log Mode: This choice determines the amount of data to be logged after you select COM1, LPT1, ASCII, or .DBF. The available options are LogAll or LogFail. LogAll logs all test information. LogFail logs only failures. – Log Message Queue: Pressing F2 allows you to examine the test results to date via a Log Message Queue. This information is generated whether or not you select a Test Log. It does not, however, allow you to examine previous Test Logs. Save Script: This choice enables you to save a custom test script.

Network Connection Problems If the adapter 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 adapter to operate at 100 Mbps, you must use Category 5 cabling. Refer to the Hardware Specifications and Cabling Information section in the help file for a list of recommended cables and information on how to install cabling. If you directly connect two workstations (no hub), use a crossover cable. Refer to the Hardware Specifications and Cabling Information section in the help file. Check the LEDs on the rear of the Ethernet adapter. The Ethernet adapter has three diagnostic LEDs beside the cable connector. These lights help indicate whether a problem exists with the connector, cable, or hub. – The LNK LED illuminates when the adapter receives a LNK pulse from the hub. If the LED is OFF, there might be a bad connector or cable, or a problem with the hub. The LNK LED is also OFF when you run the diagnostic tests in the Setup program. – The ACT LED illuminates when the adapter detects read or write activity on the network, even when there is no activity on the adapter. If the ACT LED is not on, make sure that the hub and network are operating and that the correct drivers are loaded. – The 100 LED illuminates when a 100 Mbps connection is established. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 253 Troubleshooting the 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Make sure that you are using the correct drivers. Check for operating system-specific causes for the problem. Test the adapter. Select Test adapter from the Main Menu on the Ethernet adapter Configuration and Drivers diskette. How you test the adapter depends on which operating system you are using (see “Configuring Other Network Adapters” on page 71). 100/10 PCI Ethernet Adapter Troubleshooting Chart You can use the following troubleshooting chart to find solutions to 100/10 PCI Ethernet adapter problems that have definite symptoms.

Solving Problems 257 Troubleshooting Identifying Problems through Status Indicators Status indicators on the server can help to identify problems with some system components such as power supplies and hot-swap drives. Power Supply Status Indicators To recognize the state of the power supply, you must examine the following indicators: Green Power-on LED on the front of the server Amber Power-fail LED on the front of the server Power Supply OK LED on the back of the power supply Current OK LED on the back of the power supply When the server is lightly loaded, that is, when some of the adapter slots and drive bays are not filled, the power supply might continue to function properly, even when the status indicators show a problem. 258 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Troubleshooting The following table describes the power-supply status conditions that the LEDs indicate. Power Supply OK LED Power Supply Current OK LED Status Off1 Off1 The power supply has shut down. This occurs when the voltage is too high, when a fan fails, or when the power supply becomes too hot. On Off The voltage to the power supply is low. Because the power supply can meet the present system requirements, the power supply continues to run. Off On The power supply has failed. The present system power requirements are too low to cause the power supply to shut itself down. On On The supply is on and OK. Notes: 1. The Power-on indicator on the front of the server is not lit. 2. The Power fail indicator on the front of the server illuminates when either power supply LED is not lit. Hot-swap Drive Status Indicators You can use the status LEDs above each of the hot-swap drive bays to obtain status information for the drive in the bay. Power On LED (Left Green LED): A SCSI drive is present in the bay, and the power is on. Drive In-Use LED (Center Green LED): The server is writing to or reading from the hard disk. Drive Fault LED (Amber LED): The SCSI drive is faulty. In a disk-array model, this amber LED blinks when the drive is part of a disk array and is being rebuilt. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 259 Troubleshooting The following table describes the SCSI drive status conditions that the LEDs indicate. Power On LED Drive In-Use LED Drive Fault LED Status On Off Off Hot-swap drive is present; power to the drive is on. On Blinking Off Hot-swap drive is present; power to the drive is on. The drive is in use. Off Off On The drive has a problem, and can be replaced. On Off Blinking slowly Disk-array models only: The drive should not be replaced at this time. The drive has just been replaced, and the disk array is being rebuilt. Power to the drive is on. Off Off Off No drive is installed in the bay. If a drive is present, but the LEDs are off, check the cable connections to the SCSI backplane. 260 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Checking for Damage Checking the System for Damage This section provides instructions on what to do if your system is damaged. After Dropping It Obvious damage: Look for loose cables and obvious damage. If any cables are loose, reconnect them securely. If there is obvious damage to the system, have it serviced. No obvious damage: If you see no damage, turn on the system. If it works correctly, the system probably did not suffer any damage. Note: To avoid personal injury or damage to your system, observe all safety and electrostatic precautions listed in “Safety Information” on page v and the PC Server 704 Safety Information booklet. If it does not work correctly, turn off the system and check the adapters and memory modules to ensure that they are seated correctly. See Chapter 4, “Installing Options” on page 73 and follow the instructions for opening your system; then, reseat all adapters and memory modules. If the system still does not work correctly, start the test programs and test the system. See “Starting the Test Programs” on page 225 for instructions. Chapter 5.

These other programs are usually provided on the diskette that comes with a device. After you add the programs to the Diagnostic Diskette, you can include information from the programs in the Test Log. Before the test programs can find these programs to run as the User Diags test group, information about them must be included in a file called USERDIAG.CFG. This is an ASCII text file. It must include the following three items for each test to run: Program Name (.COM and .EXE files only) Test Description of the test to be run Command-line parameters to be passed to the program identified in the first item of this list Notes: 1. All of the information for a given test must be on a single line, and a semicolon (;) must separate the items on the line. 2. Make sure you press Enter at the end of each line of text in the USERDIAG.CFG file. This creates a carriage return line feed (CR LF) which is necessary for the User Diagnostics to be found and executed. 3. If the program executable file is in a directory other than the QA directory (or other directory you have designated to contain the QA files), that directory must be listed in the PATH= section of the AUTOEXEC.BAT. 4. You can use a .CFG file other than USERDIAG.CFG if you use the command line “USRCONFIG=filename,” when running the diagnostic programs. For example, you might use: QAPLPRO /USRCONFIG=MYTESTS.CFG. Chapter 5. Solving Problems 263 Installing Additional Test Programs USERDIAG.CFG Example An example USERDIAG.CFG file might look like the following: Program Name Test Description BBSMODEM.EXE; 9600 Baud 5 Line Modem; Generic 1; Generic 2; CMD 1; CMD 2; CMD 3; TEST1.EXE; TEST2.EXE; TESTALL.EXE; TESTALL.EXE; TESTALL.EXE; Command-Line Parameter 5 1 2 3 Note: You can have more than one command-line parameter for any given test. When you view these tests on the Test Group window for the User Diag test group, they appear as follows: (♦) (♦) (♦) (♦) (♦) (♦) 9600 Baud 5 Line Modem Generic 1 Generic 2 CMD 1 CMD 2 CMD 3 The diagnostic program automatically assigns a test number to each test. The test numbers start at 201 and continue upward as needed. The numbers for the tests listed above are as follows: 202 203 204 205 206 207 264 9600 Baud 5 Line Modem Generic 1 Generic 2 CMD 1 CMD 2 CMD 3 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Using the Utility Programs Using the Utility Programs The Diagnostic Diskette contains utility programs for formatting diskettes and editing. Formatting Diskettes To format a diskette within the diagnostic programs, select one of the following options: Format A: high density After selecting one of the above options to format a diskette, follow the instructions that appear on the screen. Using the File Editor The file editor allows you to modify text files. By modifying files, such as your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS files, you can improve the test system's performance and eliminate unnecessary lines of information in those files. Note: Always make a backup copy on a self-starting diskette of the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files before making any changes.

Refer to the documentation that comes with the devices for specific information about the appropriate jumper settings. This section provides information on: Changing a jumper setting Setting the SCSI ID on a device or backplane Setting the system-board configuration jumpers Changing the system-board configuration switches Appendix A. Server Records 289 Changing Jumper and Switch Settings Changing a Jumper Setting A jumper covers pins on a pin block and might be positioned to the left or to the right. The jumper setting depends on which pins are covered. To change a jumper setting: 1. Lift the jumper straight up off the pin block. 2. Slide the jumper down over the correct pins. Note: 1. Always grip the narrow ends of the jumper when you use a pair of fine needle-nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper. Gripping the wide sides of the jumper can damage contacts inside of the jumper, causing intermittent problems. Do not squeeze the pliers or other tool that you use to remove a jumper, or you might bend or break the stake pins on the board. 2. Jumper positions for system-board configuration jumpers are described and illustrated in “Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers” on page 292. Setting SCSI ID Jumpers If you install additional SCSI devices in the upper-left front bay, set their SCSI IDs so that they do not conflict with IDs used in the hot-swap bays. Jumpers on the front of the SCSI backplanes define the SCSI IDs for hot-swap drives. See Table 14 on page 292 for the default SCSI IDs. 290 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Changing Jumper and Switch Settings The following illustration shows a SCSI drive backplane. 0 1 2 3 4 5 The connectors on the backplane are: .1/ .2/ .3/ .4/ .5/ .6/ .7/ .8/ J4 SCSI ID jumper block J3 SCSI ID jumper block J8 Fast SCSI ID connector J10 Power and ground from power distribution board J15 Fast/Wide SCSI connector J2 LED connector for drives 0, 1, and 2 J9 LED connector for drives 3, 4, and 5 J11 Multiprocessing-bus connector Appendix A.

Configuration Jumper Settings Jumper J6A4, BIOS Write Pins Description 1-2 Disables BIOS update of flash memory. 2-31 Enables BIOS update of flash memory. Notes: 1. This is the factory default setting. 2. Do not change the settings for the other system-board jumpers. These jumper settings should remain as set at the factory, unless changed by an IBM service technician. Enabling BIOS Recovery Mode (J6A1) The flash memory contains a protected area that cannot be corrupted. The code in this area enables the server to start from a diskette when the BIOS becomes corrupted, for example, if a power failure occurs during a flash update. After starting, the Flash Memory Update Utility automatically recovers the system BIOS from the BIOS recovery files on the diskette. Notes: The BIOS recovery jumper, J6A1, must be set to pins 2 and 3 to enable the BIOS flash memory recovery mode. If you have mapped the BIOS of an adapter to any part of the E0000H address range, you must either map it to another area before completing a recovery procedure, or physically remove the adapter from the system. Before you run the recovery procedure, verify that the BIOS write jumper, J6A4, is set to its default position at pins 2 and 3. Appendix A. Server Records 293 Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers Before you start, be sure that you have: Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77. Removed the left side cover (as viewed from the front of the server; see “Removing the Side Covers” on page 81). To recover the BIOS, do the following: J6A1 1. Identify the BIOS recovery jumper, J6A1. Recovery 1 BIOS Recovery 1 2 3 2. If the processor board blocks access to the jumper, remove it (see steps 2 through 5 on page 106). 3. Move the jumper to pins 2 and 3. This enables the recovery mode. 4. If you removed the processor board, install it (see steps 12 on page 108 through 12e on page 110). 5. Insert the flash memory update diskette into the primary diskette drive (usually drive A). 6. Connect the power cable to the server. 7. Start the server. After the server successfully completes POST, the speaker emits a single beep and the recovery process starts (the process takes about three minutes). During the recovery process, no messages are displayed on the monitor, and the keyboard is disabled. When the recovery process is complete, the server emits two beeps. 294 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers 8. Removed the left side cover again (see “Removing the Side Covers” on page 81), and move the jumper back to its original position (pins 1 and 2, factory default). 9. Complete the installation (see “Completing the Installation” on page 201). Setting the BIOS Boot Block Jumper (J6A1) Before you start, be sure that you have: Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77. Removed the left side cover (as viewed from the front of the server; see “Removing the Side Covers” on page 81). Note: Do not mistake this jumper block for the ones on either side. To be able to program the boot block, do the following steps: 1. Identify the BIOS boot block jumper, J6A1. J6A1 Unprotect Protect 1 Boot Block 1 2 3 2. If the processor board blocks access to the jumper, remove it (see steps 2 through 5 on page 106). Appendix A. Server Records 295 Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers 3. Set the BIOS boot block jumper: a. To remove the write-protection from the BIOS boot block, move the jumper to pins 2 and 3. b. To set the write-protection on the BIOS boot block, move the jumper to pins 1 and 2 (factory default). 4. If you removed the processor board, install it (see steps 12 on page 108 through 12e on page 110). 5. Complete the installation (see “Completing the Installation” on page 201). Setting the Video-Sleep-Register Address (J6A2) Before you start, be sure that you have: Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77. Removed the left side cover (as viewed from the front of the server; see “Removing the Side Covers” on page 81). The Video-Sleep-Register jumper determines which I/O port the SVGA controller uses for its internal AT mode setup port. The starting address of the default port is 03C3H (pins 1 and 2). When this jumper is set to pins 2 and 3, the Video-Sleep-Register address changes to 46E8H. If no keyboard activity occurs after a specified timeout period (1 to 128 minutes, as specified through the Setup program), the Video-Sleep-Register jumper blanks out the monitor screen. When this happens, you must enter a password to reactivate the monitor and keyboard. 296 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers To change the location of the Video Sleep Register, do the following steps: J6A2 1. Identify the Video-Sleep-Register jumper, J6A2. 46E8 3C3 1 Video Sleep 1 2 3 2. If the processor board blocks access to the jumper, remove it (see steps 2 through 5 on page 106). 3. Set the address of the Video-Sleep Register: a. To set the address to 03C3H (factory default), move the jumper to pins 1 and 2. b. To set the address to 46E8H, move the jumper to pins 2 and 3. 4. If you removed the processor board, install it (see steps 12 on page 108 through 12e on page 110). 5. Complete the installation (see “Completing the Installation” on page 201). Appendix A. Server Records 297 Setting System-Board Configuration Jumpers Setting the BIOS Write Jumper (J6A4) Attention: Only a qualified, technical person knowledgeable about boot block update utility programs should change the BIOS Write Jumper (J6A4-1) setting. J6A4 19 Writable 1 BIOS Write 1 2 3 This jumper enables updating the BIOS in flash memory with a special utility. The factory default leaves this function enabled so that you can update the BIOS from a startable diskette without having to open the server covers and change the jumper. Contact your IBM reseller or IBM marketing representative for a copy of the utility that updates the BIOS. 298 PC Server 704 User's Handbook Setting System-Board Configuration Switches Setting System-Board Configuration Switches Some configuration actions are controlled through switches on the system board. Table 16 summarizes the switch settings that correspond to these actions. Table 16.
