1 Safety Information This document applies to MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Boards, MAXDATA PLATINUM Server Chassis (pedestal and rack-mount) and installed peripherals. To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, fire, and equipment damage, read this document and observe all warnings and precautions in this guide before installing or maintaining your MAXDATA PLATINUM server product.
General Warnings The power supply in this product contains no user-serviceable parts. There may be more than one supply in this product. Refer servicing only to qualified personnel. Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type required.
Do not attempt to modify or use an AC power cord if it is not the exact type required. A separate AC cord is required for each system power supply. Some power supplies in MAXDATA PLATINUM Servers use Neutral Pole Fusing. To avoid risk of shock use CAUTION when working with power supplies that use Neutral Pole Fusing.
Power Cord Warnings If an AC power cord was not provided with your product, purchase one that is approved for use in your country. CAUTION To avoid electrical shock or fire, check the power cord(s) that will be used with the product as follows: •...

Available Memory Configurations The BIOS configures the system memory into the best possible configuration after comparing the current FBDIMM population with the desired memory configuration selected by the user in BIOS Setup. Possible configurations are: • Dual-channel Mode (Maximum Performance Mode): The default setting providing the highest system performance and increased FBD bandwidth.
This feature allows the system to be powered by two separate AC sources. In the 1+1 configuration, the system continues to operate, without interruption, if one of the AC sources fails. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Each power supply module has three status LEDs. These are located next to the input connector, as shown by the following figure. Figure 6. Power Supply Indicators Table 6. Power Supply Indicators Location Purpose Description A (left) Power Good LED (green) This green LED is driven by internal circuitry and is lit whenever the power is turned on.
For proper processor cooling, the processor duct must always be in place. Systems that are configured with fewer than four processors should have processor blanks installed to maintain proper cooling. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Hot-swap PCI Slots The two hot plug PCI slots have power and attention LEDs. The attention button is used to invoke a hot-plug sequence to remove or add an adapter without having to use the software interface. They are identified by the green arrow on the PCI divider label. The status of the LEDs is shown in Table 7 and Table 8.
SATA tape backup device can be cabled to the internal USB or SATA port located on the main board. Alternatively, a SCSI or SAS tape backup device can be cabled to a PCI Express add-in card (not included). MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...

Memory Board One, two, or four memory boards can be installed. Each memory board has eight DIMM sockets that support x4 or x8, single- or dual-rank FBD DDR DIMMs. FBD speeds of 5 MT/s (4-4-4, 5-5-5 latencies) and 667 MT/s (5-5-5 latency) are supported. DDR DRAM technologies of 51 Mbit, 1 Gbit, and Gbit are supported.
For management traffic, use the main board LAN ports. Figure 12. I/O Riser Board Connectors Item Description Item Description RMM2 NIC Dual gigabit LAN Ethernet ports RMM2 NIC connector Remote Management Module 2 connector MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
SAS Riser Board (optional) The SAS riser board works with the SAS backplane board to support eight SAS hard drives. The SAS riser uses a dedicated slot at the front of the system to make cabling to the SAS backplane convenient.
If you do not unplug the power supplies, standby power may be held up by the integrated capacitors for more than 10 minutes. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
It displays keys relevant to the current page and mode. Status Bar The Status Bar is on the bottom line of the screen. The status value “NV” indicates you have made changes to Setup that have not been saved. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Keyboard Commands The bottom right portion of the Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used to navigate through the BIOS Setup Utility. These commands are context sensitive. The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following key presses: Table 13. BIOS Setup: Keyboard Commands Option Description <Enter>...
BIOS supports multiple consoles, some of which are in graphics mode and some in text mode. The graphics consoles can display the logo while the text consoles receive the redirected text. The console redirection ends at the beginning of the Legacy OS boot (INT 19h). MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Keystroke Mappings During console redirection, the remote terminal (which may be a dumb terminal or a system with a modem running a communication program) sends keystrokes to the local server. The local server passes video back over this same link. The keystroke mappings follow VT-UTF8 format with the following extensions.
The EFI shell provides a set of basic commands to manage files and EFI NVRAM shell and boot variables. A list of these basic commands is in Table 14. Extensive information is available on the EFI website at http://developer.intel.com/technology/efi. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...

Installing and Removing PCI Cards This section outlines the procedures for performing a hot-plug operation with PCI cards and installing and removing non-hot-plug PCI cards. Cards can be hot-swapped in PCI slots 1 through 5. The server must be powered down to install or remove a card from PCI slots 6 and 7. CAUTION Expansion slot covers must be installed on all vacant slots to maintain the electromagnetic emission characteristics of the server and to ensure proper cooling of the system.
Press the cover into the slot. Rotate the retention latch at the rear of the board slot into the down position. To install a replacement PCI card: see “Installing a Hot-plug PCI Add-in Card”. 11. Install the top cover. For instructions see “Installing the Top Cover”. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Installing a Hot-plug PCI Add-in Card CAUTION Only PCI add-in cards in PCI slots 1 and are hot-swappable. If you are adding or removing a PCI card from PCI slots through 7, see “Removing a Non-Hot-Plug PCI Card” and “Installing a Non- Hot-Plug PCI Card”.
10. Rotate the retention latch at the rear of the card slot into the down position. 11. Attach the required cables to the PCI card. 1. Install the top cover. For instructions, see “Installing the Top Cover”. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
Installing and Removing Memory Boards At least one memory board and one DIMM must be installed for the server to function. Supported memory board configurations are as follows: • One memory board installed in Slot A, at the right side of the system •...
For example, DIMMs A1 and B1 can be different from DIMMs A and B. • Additional memory can be added by installing identical pairs of DIMMs in the lowest numbered available slots. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
8. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket. 9. Push down on the top edge of the DIMM. The levers at each end of the DIMM socket will close. Make sure the levers close securely. MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7 MAXDATA PLATINUM 700 IR M7...
