  • Page 39: System Board Management Controller (Bmc)

    System Board Management Controller (BMC) Server management is concentrated in the System Board Management Controller (BMC). The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from a 5Vdc standby voltage, which remains active when system power is switched off, but the ac power source is still on and connected.

  • Page 40: System Power

    System Power The BSU may be configured with up to three 750-Watt power supplies. Each supply has autoranging input 50/60 Hz and automatically switches between the following input voltage ranges: 100-120 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 12.0 A maximum current 200-240 VAC at 50/60 Hz; 7.0 A maximum current All output grounds connect to the power supply chassis and to earth ground through the AC line cord.

  • Page 42: Automatic Rebuilding Function

    Automatic Rebuilding Function The server supports the disk array automatic rebuilding function for data recovery. Note: The automatic rebuilding function supports a disk array configuration of RAID levels, RAID1 or RAID5. Rebuilding is to regenerate all data from a failed disk to a replacement disk. A rebuild is necessary after a failed disk drive is replaced with a new one.

  • Page 43: System Functions

    System Functions The following subsections describe select system functions. Hot Swapping Hot swapping allows a device to be replaced, such as a hard disk drive while its power is on, as listed below. Disk array system: Any failed hard disk drive can be replaced while the system is running. BSU hot swap fans: Any one of the four system fans can be replaced while the system power is on.

  • Page 44: Acpi

    ACPI The Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) aware operating system can place the system into a state where the hard drives spin down, some system fans stop, and all processing is halted. However, in this state the power supply is still on and the processors are still dissipating some power such that the power supply fan and processor fans are still running.

  • Page 45: Remote Power-On (Wake On Lan) Function

    Remote Power-On (Wake On LAN) Function The remote power-on function turns on the system power by way of a network or modem. If the system power is set to Off, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet from the main computer to the remote system. Note: The standard default value of the remote power-on function is “Disabled”.

  • Page 46: Reconfiguration

    Reconfiguration If a CPU or a memory DIMM board error was detected during execution of POST (Power On Self-Test) after system power is turned on, the reconfiguration function isolates the failed CPU or memory DIMM board and continues operation. You should replace the failed device as soon as possible.
