Third Channel For Secondary Raid Controllers; Resetting A Hung Ism Card - Intergraph InterServe 800 Manual

Third Channel for Secondary RAID Controllers

When expanding an InterServe 800 to use the third channel of any secondary RAID
controllers, the internal cables extend from the PCI slots to the third-channel ports above the
I/O panel. Attach the internal third-channel cable from one of the additional RAID controllers
to one of the third-channel ports. Repeat this for each of up to four additional RAID
controllers.
NOTE The primary RAID controller (in PCI slot 1) is a two-channel controller.
See the System Reference for information on PCI slot assignments, and the InterRAID
documentation for information on RAID expansion.

Resetting a Hung ISM Card

An InterSite Server Monitor (ISM) card (also called Server Monitor Module [SMM] or
Emergency Management Card [EMC]) in an InterServe 800 may hang if system power is
turned off, then on again quickly, using the system's keyswitch.
To determine if the server's ISM card is hung:
See the Anomalies and Open Problems\Emergency Management Card\EMC Communication
section of the
how to identify a hung ISM card, and how to attempt to reset the card without doing a physical
reset.
To physically reset the ISM card:
1. Shut down and power off the server. Be sure to turn off the server's breaker switch.
2. Open the server to get at the ISM card. See the documentation delivered with the server
and with InterSite Server Monitor for more information.
3. Unplug the white J1 connector between the battery pack and the ISM card.
CAUTION Gently pull the connector loose. Do not use a metal object to separate the connector from the
socket, and do not pull on the wires in the connector, or damage may result.
4. Reconnect the J1 connector to its socket.
5. Replace the server's right side panel.
6. Turn on system power.
