  • Page 26: Dimm Installation Sequence

    DIMM Installation Sequence A single carrier will support DIMM population in various configurations (empty sockets included). However, when fewer than 16 DIMMs are installed on a memory module, the preferred population order is to start from the lowest J number and populate sequentially to the highest. This recommendation helps maintain optimal signal integrity and thermal performance.

  • Page 51: Using The System Setup Utility (Ssu)

    Using the System Setup Utility (SSU) The SSU is on the configuration software CD-ROM shipped with the server. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. The SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities: Assigns resources to devices and add-in boards before loading the OS.

  • Page 52: What You Need To Do

    Running the SSU Running the SSU Locally Running the ssu.bat file provided on the SSU media starts the SSU. If the server boots directly from the SSU media, the ssu.bat file runs automatically. If the server boots from different media, the SSU can be started manually or by another application.
  • Page 53 In this model of remote operation, the SSU executes exclusively on the remote server. Any files required for the SSU to execute must be on the remote server (on removable or nonremovable media). Downloading the SSU to a remote server is not explicitly supported by the SSU, but using a third-party software package to download the required SSU files to the remote server is not prohibited.

  • Page 54: Starting The Ssu

    2. Start the SSU through one of two ways: After creating a set of SSU diskettes from the CD-ROM: Insert the first SSU diskette in drive A. Press the reset button or <Ctrl+Alt+Del> to reboot your server from the diskette.

  • Page 67: Main Dpc Console Window

    Main DPC Console Window The main DPC console window provides a graphical user interface (GUI) to access server control operations and to launch the management plug-ins. A menu and tool bar at the top of the GUI provide options to initiate plug-ins and other support features. A status bar at the bottom displays connection information like server name, line status, and mode.

The message states that the existing connection will be terminated if you continue trying to initiate the new connection.
  • Page 69 Options available in the dialog are: Power ON: Powers on the server. Power OFF: Powers off the server. This option is not allowed if the server is configured in restricted mode for EMP operations. Post-power-up option: Sets the server mode to EMP active or BIOS redirection. The setting is effective at the next power-up.

  • Page 74: Parsing The Command Line

    DOS box is insufficient and will provide incorrect results. Programming the BMC FRU area clears the SDR table; therefore the SDR table must be reprogrammed. Upon completing the programming of the FRU and SDR areas, the server should be rebooted.

  • Page 75: Displaying A Given Area

    When the utility is run with the -d DMI, -d FRU, or -d SDR command line flag, the indicated area is displayed. Each area represents one sensor for each instrumented device in the server. If the given display function fails because of an inability to parse the data present or a hardware failure, the utility displays an error message and exits.
