Warnings
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the enclosure cover to access
components inside the blade system. Only a technically qualified person should maintain
or configure the blade system.
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are
using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety
instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and
maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the
described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /
components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and
will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which
the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To
remove power from storage system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall
outlet or the chassis. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the
chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be
present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the storage system and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the storage system before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage
can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this document
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface)
on your storage system when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts.
After removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the storage server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if
available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips
over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a
tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the
narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the
function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or
other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.
Reinstalling enclosure cover: For proper cooling and airflow, always install the
enclosure cover before turning on the storage system. Operating it without the enclosure
cover in place can damage system parts.

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Features
The design of the blade server takes advantage of advancements in memory management
and data storage. The blade server uses the following features and technologies:
•Disk drive support
The blade server supports up to two 2.5-inch small form factor (SFF) Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) hard disk drives.
•Impressive performance using the latest microprocessor technology
The blade server supports up to two Dual-Core Intel®Xeon®DP microprocessors.
•Integrated network support
The blade server comes with an integrated Broadcom BCM5704S Dual Gigabit
Ethernet controller, which supports connection to a 10-Mbps, 100-Mbps, or 1000-
Mbps network through an Ethernet-compatible switch module in the Intel® Blade
Server Chassis SBCE. The controller supports Wake on LAN®technology.
•I/O-expansion
The blade server has connectors on the system board for an optional expansion card,
such as the Fibre Channel expansion card, for adding more network communication
capabilities to the blade server.
•Large system-memory capacity
The blade server supports up to 16 GB of system memory. The memory controller
provides support for up to four industry-standard 1.8 V, 240-pin, double-data-rate

•Light path diagnostics
Light path diagnostics provides light-emitting diodes (LEDs) to help you diagnose
problems.
•Power throttling
Each blade server is powered by two redundant power-supply modules. By enforcing
a power policy known as power domain oversubscription, the Intel® Blade Server
Chassis SBCE can share the power load between two power modules to ensure
efficient power for each device in the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. This policy
is enforced when the initial power is applied to the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE
or when a blade server is inserted into the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE. You
can configure and monitor the power environment by using the management module.
For more information about configuring and using power throttling, see the
management-module documentation.

2Power, Controls, Jumpers,
Switches, and Indicators
This chapter describes the power features, how to turn on and turn off the blade server,
what the controls and indicators mean, and where the system board jumpers and switches
are located and how to use them.
Turning on the Blade Server
After you connect the blade server to power through the Intel® Blade Server Chassis
SBCE, the blade server can start in any of the following ways:
•You can press the power-control button on the front of the blade server (behind the
control panel door) to start the blade server.
Notes:
— Wait until the power-on LED on the blade server flashes slowly before pressing
the blade server power-control button. During this time, the service processor in
the management module is initializing; therefore, the power-control button on the
blade server does not respond.
— While the blade server is powering-up, the power-on LED on the front of the
server is lit.
•If a power failure occurs, the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE and then the blade
server can start automatically when power is restored (if the blade server is configured
through the management module to do so).
•You can turn on the blade server remotely by means of the service processor in the
management module.
•If the operating system supports the Wake on LAN feature and the blade server
power-on LED is flashing slowly, the Wake on LAN feature can turn on the blade
server, if the Wake on LAN feature has not been disabled through the management-
module Web interface.
Turning off the Blade Server
When you turn off the blade server, it is still connected to power through the Intel® Blade
Server Chassis SBCE. The blade server can respond to requests from the service
processor, such as a remote request to turn on the blade server. To remove all power from
the blade server, you must remove it from the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE.
Shut down the operating system before you turn off the blade server. See the operating-
system documentation for information about shutting down the operating system.

8Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Installation and User’s Guide
The blade server can be turned off in any of the following ways:
•You can press the power-control button on the blade server (behind the control panel
door). This starts an orderly shutdown of the operating system, if this feature is
supported by the operating system.
Note: After turning off the blade server, wait at least 5 seconds before you press the
power-control button to turn on the blade server again.
•If the operating system stops functioning, you can press and hold the power-control
button for more than 4 seconds to turn off the blade server.
•The management module can turn off the blade server.
Understanding the Control Panel and LEDs
This section describes the controls and LEDs on the Intel® Server Compute Blade
SBXD62.
Note: The control panel door is shown in the closed (normal) position in the following
illustration. To access the power-control button, you must open the control panel door.
Keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) select button: Press this button to associate the shared
Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE keyboard port, video port, and mouse port with the
blade server. The LED on this button flashes while the request is being processed then is
lit when the ownership of the keyboard, video, and mouse has been transferred to the
blade server. It can take approximately 20 seconds to switch the keyboard, video, and
mouse control to the blade server.
You can also press keyboard keys in the following sequence to switch keyboard/video/
mouse control between blade servers:
NumLock NumLock blade_server_number Enter
Where blade_server_number is the two-digit number for the blade bay in which the blade

Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Installation and User’s Guide 9
Although the keyboard that is attached to the Intel® Blade Server Chassis SBCE might be
a PS/2 style keyboard, internal communication with it is through the USB. The operating
system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to recognize and
use the keyboard and mouse. When you are not running an operating system that has USB
device drivers, such as in the following situations, the keyboard responds very slowly:
•Running the blade server integrated diagnostics
•Running a BIOS update diskette on a blade server
•Updating the diagnostics on a blade server
•Running the Broadcom firmware CD for a blade server
If there is no response when you press the keyboard/video/mouse select button, you can
use the management-module Web interface to determine whether local control has been
disabled on the blade server.
If you install Microsoft Windows Server 2003* on the blade server while it is not the
current owner of the keyboard, video, and mouse, a delay of up to 1 minute occurs the first
time you switch the keyboard, video, and mouse to the blade server. During this one-time-
only delay, the blade server device manager enumerates the keyboard, video, and mouse
and loads the device drivers. All subsequent switching takes place in the normal
keyboard-video-mouse switching time frame (up to 20 seconds).
Media Tray select button: Press this button to associate the shared removable-media
drives and USB ports with the blade server. The LED on the button flashes while the
request is being processed then is lit when the ownership of the removable-media drives
and USB ports has been transferred to the blade server. It can take approximately 20
seconds for the operating system in the blade server to recognize the removable-media
drives and USB ports.
The operating system in the blade server must provide USB support for the blade server to
recognize and use the removable-media drives and USB ports. The Intel® Blade Server
Chassis SBCE uses USB for internal communication with these devices. If there is no
response when you press the media tray select button, you can use the management-
module Web interface to determine whether local control has been disabled on the blade
server.
Activity LED: When this green LED is lit, it indicates that there is activity on the hard
disk drive, flash drive, or network.
Location LED: When this blue LED is lit, it has been turned on by the system
administrator to aid in visually locating the blade server. The location LED on the Intel®
Blade Server Chassis SBCE will be lit also. The location LED can be turned off through
the management-module Web interface.
Information LED: When this amber LED is lit, it indicates that information about a
system error for the blade server has been placed in the system error log. The information
LED can be turned off through the management-module Web interface.
Power-on LED: This green LED indicates the power status of the blade server in the
following manner:

10 Intel® Server Compute Blade SBXD62 Installation and User’s Guide
•Flashing rapidly: The service processor (BMC) on the blade server is handshaking
with the management module.
