Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse Introduction The PS/2 compatible keyboard and mouse connectors as well as the connection for the monitor are mounted on the rear panel of the server. The keyboard, mouse, and monitor should be plugged in before powering up the HP Server rx4610. The BIOS detects these peripherals and configures them accordingly.
Page 114 Chapter 9 Connecting the Monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse Use this procedure to connect the peripheral control devices and monitor to the HP Server: CAUTION The Keyboard and Mouse ports are both PS/2 ports, but are not interchangeable. If you plug the keyboard into the Mouse port, or the mouse into the Keyboard port, you will get an error message and the system will not finish the boot process.

The following sections contain general procedures to help you locate installation problems. If you need assistance, it is recommended that you contact your reseller first. If you require assistance from Hewlett-Packard, see the "Warranty or Service/Support Booklet" or refer to the HP Server rx4610 Resource CD-ROM included with your product.
Page 170: Troubleshooting Sequence
Chapter 11 Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Sequence Most HP Server problems are the result of incorrect HP Server and SCSI subsystem configurations. To troubleshoot an installation problem, perform the following checks in the order given: 1. Check all cable and power connections, including those in the rack, etc. 2.
Page 171 Chapter 11 Troubleshooting If the HP Server Will Not Power On Use these steps to check for power related problems: 1. On the control panel, verify the LCD screen's backlight is lit (green glow). If it is lit, the HP Server is receiving AC power. If it is not lit, ensure the HP Server's power cord is connected.
Page 172 Chapter 11 Troubleshooting 3. Check that the DC-DC Converter on the Power Distribution Board is properly installed. 4. Check that the DC-DC Converter on the I/O Baseboard is plugged into the 3.3V number one connector. 5. Check for a Power Pod failure on a Processor. If the HP Server Powers On but then Shuts Down with a Fault Light Use this checklist to check for the following problems when the HP Server powers on and then off:...
Page 173 Verify that the DIMMs in any given row are the same size and have the same Hewlett-Packard part number. vi. Ensure all disk drive power and data cables are securely and properly connected, at the rear of each drive.
Page 174 Chapter 11 Troubleshooting ix. Replace all power cords and power cables. x. Turn on the monitor. xi. Turn on the HP Server at the control panel. xii. Check for error messages. If the HP Server Passes POST but a Processor is Disabled or Not Recognized If a processor is not recognized by the Server, check the following items: 1.
Page 175: Hp Server Rx4610 Sel Data Tables
Chapter 11 Troubleshooting 3. Replace the DC-DC Converters. If the HP Server’s SCSI Drives Are Not Recognized Check the following if the SCSI drives are not recognized during POST: 1. Check the seating of the Internal SCSI Cable between the I/O Board and the Power Distribution Board (T-Docking).

Chapter 11 Troubleshooting Error Logging For the extended memory test, four error records will be written for multi-bit errors, one for each DIMM. For single-bit-errors during the extended memory test, error records will be one per DIMM. By specifications, the DIMM number will be one less than the silk-screened number on the printed-circuit board.

Page 223: Processor Baseboard Jumpers
Appendix A Specifications Processor Baseboard Jumpers The jumper blocks on the Processor Baseboard allow you to route Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) Test Data In (TDI) and Test Data Out (TDO) signals through different components on the Processor Baseboard. Additionally, jumper blocks allow you to configure the host bus frequency, set the processor frequency, and set other miscellaneous functions.
Page 224 Appendix A Specifications JTAG Select1 Settings Jumper block J2E3 selects combinations of the processor, supporting chip set, memory, and I/O as routes for JTAG TDI and TDO signals. The default jumper setting allows only JTAG TDI and TDO signals to be routed through the processor.
Page 225 Appendix A Specifications JTAG Select2 Settings Jumper block J2E4 adds and skips Processor Board components to the JTAG TDI and TDO signal path. With this jumper you can choose to add memory and I/O, choose to skip Memory and I/O, choose to skip Memory and add I/O, or choose to add Memory and skip I/O.
Page 226 Appendix A Specifications Setting Host Bus Frequencies Jumper blocks J2H1, J2H2, and J2H3 configure the host bus frequency. The settings for all three jumper blocks combine to yield the single frequency. By default, the frequency is set to 133 MHz. J2H1 J2H2 J2H3...
Page 227 Appendix A Specifications Processor Host Core Bus Ratio Jumper block J1E2 configures the host-core bus ratio. By default, the bus ration is two to eleven and the core frequency is 733 MHz. Figure A-13 shows the jumper settings. J1E2 J1E2 J1E2 J1E2 RATIO3...
Page 228 Appendix A Specifications Miscellaneous Jumper Settings Jumper block J2E2 enables server management write protect, configures cache line size, disables the FRB, enables the FSB in common clock mode, applies power to the pullups on the ISP chain for stand-alone programming, and selects between using J1E2 or PCA8550 to set the host core bus ratio.
Page 229: Legacy I/O Board Jumpers
Appendix A Specifications Legacy I/O Board Jumpers Jumper blocks exist on the Legacy I/O Board that allow you to perform recovery boot operations, clear the CMOS register, clear the password, and configure FWH programming.

Configuring FWH Programming Jumper diagram labeled: FWH Programming at 12 Volts FWH Programming at 3.3 Volts (Default Setting) Configuring Recovery Boot Jumper block J7A1 controls whether the system attempts to boot using the BIOS...
Page 231 Appendix A Specifications Clearing the CMOS Register Jumper block J7A1 controls whether settings stored in CMOS nonvolatile memory (NVRAM) are retained during a system reset. By default, the system does not keep the default values in this register. You can configure J7A1 to restore the system defaults.
Page 232 Appendix A Specifications Jumper diagram labeled: A. Retains System Password (Default Setting) B. Clears the System Password on Reset Jumper block J7B1 controls whether the BMC is in a firmware transfer mode and forces an update to the BMC code. J7B1 J7B1 Figure A-20.
Page 233: I/O Baseboard Jumpers
Appendix A Specifications I/O Baseboard Jumpers Jumper blocks exist on the OEM I/O Baseboard that allow you to include the BMC in the JTAG chain and override the hardware PCI hot plug interlock switches. To access these jumper blocks you need to expose the OEM I/O Baseboard by following the instructions in Chapter 8 “Server Management Boards”.
Page 234 Appendix A Specifications Including the BMC in the JTAG Chain Jumper block J8D1 lets you include or exclude the BMC in the JTAG chain. By default, the BMC is excluded from the JTAG chain. J8D1 J8D1 Figure A-22. BMC Jumper Settings Jumper setting diagram labeled: A.
Page 235: Power Distribution Board Jumpers (T-Docking)
Appendix A Specifications Power Distribution Board Jumpers (T-Docking) Jumper blocks exist on the Power Distribution Board (T-Docking) that allow you to force a firmware update, flash bootblock write enable, and configure for 220 Volt brownout protection. To access these jumper blocks you need expose the T- Docking Board by following the instructions in Chapter 8, “Server Management Boards”.

Page 241: Cini File Format
INI File Format Introduction The FRUSDR utility for EFI has a new feature that allows the FRU information retrieved from the EEPROM to be displayed in a manner other than that of the original utilities display. Through the use of an INI file the user can create strings to be displayed and insert information from the data retrieved from the EEPROM into the string.
Page 242 Appendix C INI File Format The other component of the Display entry is the format string and data markers. The format string is similar to a C style format string. Text from the format string will be displayed as written between a set of quotation marks, with the only exceptions being the formatting options.
