The Intel Server Board SHG2 contains six 184-pin DIMM sockets. Memory is partitioned as three banks. DIMMs must be populated in identical pairs. The SHG2 server board supports up to six 2.5 V, ECC, DDR 200 or 266-compliant, registered SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs. A wide range of DIMM sizes are supported, including 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB DIMMs.
Up to four devices USB Interface The SHG2 Server Board provides three external USB connectors on the rear I/O panel. The external connectors are defined by the USB Specification, Revision 1.1. One additional USB connector is supported internally through a 10-pin header on the server board that can be cabled to a front panel board.
The server board includes two integrated onboard Network Interface Controllers (NICs). One NIC is a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel 82550PM single-chip Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. As a PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at up to 132 MB/s.
Preferred Primary Adapter With multiple adapters installed, you can specify one as the Preferred Primary adapter. For example if you have a server with an Intel adapter and an Intel PRO/1000 adapter as the secondary, you would want the PRO/100 Intelligent Server adapter to be the preferred primary.
ACPI The SHG2 supports the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) as defined by the ACPI 1.0b. An ACPI-aware operating system can put the system into a sleep state where the hard drives spin down, the system fans stop, and all processing is halted.

Using BIOS Setup This section describes the BIOS Setup options. Use Setup to change the server configuration defaults. You can run Setup with or without an operating system being present. Setup stores most of the configuration values in battery backed CMOS; the rest of the values are stored in flash memory.
Using the System Setup Utility The System Setup Utility (SSU) is located on the Intel Server Board SHG2 Resource CD-ROM shipped with the server. Run the System Setup Utility to: • Set boot device priority • Set passwords and security options •...
Running the SSU When the SSU starts in the default local execution mode, the SSU accepts input from the keyboard or mouse. The SSU presents a VGA-based GUI on the primary monitor. If you run the SSU from read-only media, such as the CD-ROM, you cannot save user preference settings (such as screen colors).
You can set a user password and an admin password. On some systems, you must set an admin password before you can set a user password. On other systems, the passwords are independent. You can set the same passwords and security options by using BIOS Setup (page 57). Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide...
Setting the Admin Password The Admin Password button lets you set or change the admin password used by both the SSU and the system BIOS. This option is not available if both an admin and a user password are set and you entered only the user password when you started the SSU.
Properties: Displays the number of FRU devices in the system and the number being displayed. Only FRU devices with valid FRU areas are displayed. • Reload: Refreshes the display by reading the current FRU entries from the server. Intel Server Board SHG2 Product Guide...
Using the SSU, you can update the BIOS, update the firmware, and verify the firmware. Procedures for each are given below. You can also update the BIOS and firmware without using the SSU (see page 74). You can download the updates from the Intel support website: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SHG2...
Updating the Firmware To update the system firmware: 1. Download the update from the Intel support website. 2. From the SSU Main window, choose System Update. (System Update is available only in Expert mode.) 3. When you start System Update, it automatically displays the current revision information for the system firmware and BIOS.
You can receive email alerts for any of the same events supported by LAN alert or Platform Events Paging. Unlike LAN Alert and Platform Events Paging that can be configured using the SSU, you must use the Intel Server Management Platform Interface Control (PIC) software to configure an email address to receive alerts.
