NOTE The side cover must be on the system for proper cooling. To help prevent unauthorized entry or use of the system, the chassis includes a physical padlock loop and a chassis intrusion switch that can be monitored by Server Management software. Secure the side cover to the chassis by inserting a padlock (not provided) through the metal loop protruding through the slot in the back edge of the side cover.
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the side cover of the system to access components inside the system. Only a Micron technically qualified person should integrate and configure the system. WARNINGS...
CAUTIONS Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you do all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is NOT available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your system when handling parts.
OM06410 Figure 5. Removing the Side Cover Built-in handle Metal loop (for padlock) C. Retaining screws (3) CAUTION Do NOT damage EMI strips: When installing the side cover, Do NOT damage the EMI gaskets mounted on the cover. Replace any damaged strips, or the system may NOT meet EMI requirements.
1. Remove side cover. 2. Remove and save the screw from the front cover; you will need it later to reattach the cover. 3. Squeeze the two plastic tabs inside the front cover, and push them through the chassis slots. 4.
CAUTIONS Do NOT overload server board: Do NOT overload the server board by installing add-in boards that draw excessive current. ESD and handling boards: Add-in boards can be extremely sensitive to ESD and always require careful handling. After removing the board from its protective wrapper or from the server board, place it component-side up on a grounded, static-free surface or conductive foam pad—if available.
OM06425 Figure 7. Installing an Add-in Board Expansion slot cover and screw Add-in board, use same screw CAUTION Slot covers must be installed on all vacant expansion slots. This maintains the electromagnetic emissions characteristics of the system and ensures proper cooling of system components. 1.
7. Use the screw removed earlier. Insert it into the threaded hole, and push the rounded notch against screw. Tighten it firmly to prevent the bracket from interfering with adjacent brackets. 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.
OM05073 Figure 9. Removing the Diskette Drive from the Carrier Screws (4) Drive C. Carrier 1. Remove the new 3.5-inch diskette drive from its protective wrapper, and place it component-side up on an antistatic surface. Record the drive model and serial numbers in your equipment log.
An 18-inch long IDE cable that supports two drives is standard in the system. If you install an IDE hard drive, we recommend placing it in the lowest internal drive bay to make cabling easier, particularly if you also have an IDE device in the externally accessible bay. For proper IDE operation, note the cable length specified in the following figure.
NOTES Save the filler panels and EMI shields: system EMI integrity and cooling are both protected by having drives installed in the bays or filler panels and EMI shields covering the bays. When you install a drive, save the panel and EMI shield to reinstall in case you should later remove the drive and not reinstall one in the same bay.
OM05074 Figure 12. Snap-in plastic slide rails Tape drive or other removable media device Tab on slide rail C. Screws (4) D. Slide rails (2) 9. Connect a power cable to the drive. The connectors are keyed and can be inserted in only one way.
OM06406 Figure 13. Installing a Removable Media Device Removable media device Power cable C. Data cable 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Remove the side and front covers. 3. Disconnect the power and signal cables from the drive. 4.
The internal peripheral bay has space for these possible drive combinations (height and quantity): • Four drives, each 1 inch high • Three drives, each 1.6 inches high • Two 1.6-inch drives plus two 1-inch drives 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.
15. Attach power and signals cables to any drives installed in the bay. For proper cooling and airflow, neatly fold and secure the excess signal cable (use a tie wrap or cable clip) so that it does not drape across the server board or add-in boards. OM06412 Figure 15.
For cooling and airflow, the system contains two removable chassis fans to cool the boards and removable media drives. The integrated power supply fan provides more cooling and airflow. Figure 16. Removing the Fan Housing Assembly 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2.
NOTE A general rule about the correct airflow direction: the removable fan pulls air from in front of the chassis so that it flows across the boards and out the back. Thus, the fan must be oriented for the correct airflow direction. If you place the fan so the label faces the back of the chassis, this should provide the correct orientation.
OM06423 Figure 17. Removing The Front Panel Board 1. Reconnect the front panel board signal cable to the server board. 2. Position the front panel board over the snap-on standoff and the threaded standoff inside the chassis. 3. Carefully press the board onto the snap-on standoff until it snaps in place. 4.
CAUTION The Server Board is Extremely Sensitive to ESD and always requires careful handling. After removing it from the system, place it component-side up on a nonconductive, static-free surface to prevent shorting out the battery leads. If you place the board on a conductive surface, the battery leads may short out.
OM06414 Figure 18. Removing the Server Board 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter. 2. Place the EMI gasket over the I/O connectors on the server board. 3. Position the board over the two snap-in standoffs and threaded standoffs inside the chassis, and slide it carefully toward the rear of the system until the I/O connectors protrude through the back panel.

NOTE DIMM sizes and compatibility: use DIMMs that have been tested for compatibility with the system board. Contact your Micron Sales Representative or Local Dealer for a current list of approved memory modules. The table below lists some sample size combinations.
The National 87309 device supports two serial ports, one parallel port, diskette drive, PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse, and integrated Real Time Clock (RTC). The server board provides a connector interface for each port. Both serial ports are relocatable. By default, port A appears at the onboard DB9 connector and port B on the 10-pin header.
The onboard, integrated Cirrus Logic CL-GD5480 64-bit VGA chip contains an SVGA controller that is fully compatible with these video standards: CGA † , EGA † , Hercules † Graphics, MDA † , and VGA. The standard configuration comes with 2 MB of 10 ns onboard video memory. The video controller supports pixel resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200 and up to 16.7 M colors.
The system board includes a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX network solution based on the Intel 82558 Fast Ethernet PCI Bus Controller. As a PCI bus master, the controller can burst data at up to 132 MBps. The controller contains two receive and transmit FIFO buffers that prevent data overruns or underruns while waiting for access to the PCI bus.
Page 46
All server management functionality is concentrated in the BMC. The BMC and associated circuitry are powered from + 5V_Standby, which remains active when system power is switched off and the system is still plugged into AC power. One major function of the BMC is to autonomously monitor system management events, and log their occurrence in the non-volatile System Event Log (SEL).
The BIOS Setup and the System Setup Utility (SSU) provide a number of security features to prevent unauthorized or accidental access to the system. Once the security measures are enabled, you can access the system only after you enter the correct password(s). For example: •...
Taking the system out of secure mode does not change the state of system power. That is, if you press and release the power switch while secure mode is in effect, the system will not be powered off when secure mode is later removed. However, if the front panel power switch remains depressed when secure mode is removed, the system will be powered off.
Page 49
Table 7. Software Security Features (continued) Feature Description Disable writing to In secure mode, the system will not boot from or write to a diskette unless a diskette password is entered. To set this feature, use the SSU Security Subsystem Group. To write-protect access to diskette whether the system is in secure mode or not, use the Setup main menu, Floppy Options, and specify Floppy Access as read only.

The System Setup Utility (SSU) is on the Server System Configuration Software CD shipped with the server. The SSU provides a graphical user interface (GUI) over an extensible framework for server configuration. For the N440BX systems, the SSU framework supports the following functions and capabilities: •...
The SSU may be run directly from the Server Configuration Software CD or from a set of DOS diskettes. If you choose to run the SSU from a set of DOS diskettes, you must copy the SSU from the Server Configuration Software CD to a set of DOS diskettes and follow the instructions in the included README.TXT file to prepare the diskettes.
SSU consists of a collection of task-oriented modules plugged into a common framework called the Application Framework (AF). The Application Framework provides a launching point for individual tasks and a location for setting customization information. For full functionality, the SSU requires the availability of the AF.INI, AF.HLP, plus any .ADN files and their associated .HLP and .INI files.
Page 79
The SSU lets you customize the user interface according to your preferences. The AF sets these preferences and saves them in the AF.INI file so that they take effect the next time you start the SSU. There are four user-customizable settings: •...

EMP Console Access Modes (Server not Configured for Console Redirect) Mode Server is powered off During POST After OS boots Disabled Redirect window appears, Redirect window appears, Redirect window appears, but is blank but is blank but is blank Pre-boot EMP commands available EMP commands available...
In the EMP Password area of the System Management Submenu, type in a password of up to 8 alphanumeric characters. If a beep is heard, the password was not accepted and a different password must be entered. EMP Access Modes: Choose either Disabled, Pre-boot, or Always Active, depending on the type of EMP access needed.
The tool bar buttons of the EMP Console main window combine server control and management plug-in options available from the Connect and Action menus as follows: Generates the Connect dialog to allow connection to a selected server. Disconnects from the server currently connected to. Generates the Power On/Off dialog.
• Help - provides version information and help topics for the EMP Console. Three server control operations are available from the menu or toolbar of the main EMP Console window, remote server connection, powering the server on and off, and resetting the server. The server console mode can also be switched between EMP active and BIOS redirect modes through post-power-up and reset options.
• Help - displays dialog level help information. Selecting Power On/Off from the Action menu allows you to power the server on or off, with post- power-up options. It generates the Power on/off dialog. Figure 32. Power On/Off Dialog Options available in the dialog are: •...
Selecting Reset from the Action menu generates the Reset dialog so that you can remotely reset the server with post-reset options. Figure 33. Reset Dialog Options available in the dialog are: • System Reset - resets the server with the selected post-reset options. This operation is not allowed if the server is configured in RESTRICTED mode for EMP operations.
The EMP Console provides a support plug-in known as the Phonebook. The Phonebook stores names and numbers of servers in a list that can be updated by adding, modifying or deleting entries. The Phonebook can be opened from the main menu and tool bars, or launched from the Connect dialog by clicking the Config button.
