- 7 -
Suggested Integrated Configuration
Overview
The Small Business Server Platform Solution specified in this recipe is based on Microsoft*
Windows* Small Business Server 2003 R2 Premium Edition operating system (SBS 2003).
The solution incorporates full messaging and groupware functionality via Microsoft Exchange
2003, which is provided as a component of the SBS 2003 platform. The solution also incorporates
an Intranet component, Microsoft SharePoint* Services, configured out of the box for Web based
collaboration. Additional components provided as part of the Premium version are an enterprise
class database, Microsoft SQL Server* 2000, and software firewall and Web caching components
through Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration* (ISA) Server 2004.
Network configuration is two internal subnets with all client traffic routed externally through the
server which acts as the LAN gateway. This in turn forwards traffic to and from a gateway
firewall/router which is connected directly to the Internet. External access to network resources is
provided both via http and https for Web, Remote Desktop and HTML e-mail access, and PPTP
client VPN connectivity.
Additional anti-virus software is recommended for protecting data and ensuring system health.
Additional data backup and recovery software is recommended for ensuring data protection
against system failures and disasters.
Main Components
Suggested configuration is based on the following major components:
Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 Premium Edition
Intel® Server Board S5000VSA
Two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors
Intel® Server Chassis SC5299BRP
Intel® RAID Controller SRCSU41L
Three SCSI hard-drives in a RAID-5 redundant configuration
NOTE: It is strongly recommended that you use the components listed in this recipe, follow all steps exactly
as described, and use the versions of BIOS, drivers and utilities provided on Small Business Server
Hardware Deployment CD. Otherwise the system behavior may be different, and you may need extra time
to set it up correctly. You may need to use newer versions of BIOS, drivers, and utilities, only if you are
facing a specific issue that needs to be fixed.

Software Capabilities
Features
The main architectural features of the server platform environment are:
A unitary Microsoft Windows Domain environment utilizing a single domain controller
Use of integrated messaging components
Easily configurable, template-driven Web based collaboration
Full remote connectivity utilizing both VPN and Web access
Application and platform OS security via configurable security policies, with anti-virus and
intrusion protection technology
Mobile and handheld synchronization via the Web
Remote management capabilities for ease of support
Monitoring, data backup and restore capabilities
Easy installation, management and operation
The solution specified is designed to be relatively powerful, well featured, and secure. The Return
on Investment for a sub 40 employee small business will be quick, and the platform affords plenty
of opportunity to add users without becoming overloaded. It provides enterprise class
functionality, reliability, security and availability, is a solid base for business expansion, and will
continue to provide acceptable performance for beyond 40 users.
Value
SBS 2003 R2 bundles enterprise class components that cost many times the bundled price when
bought separately and installed on separate servers. SBS 2003 R2 includes an enterprise class
email and messaging system, in addition to remote access capabilities not even featured in
Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard.
Ease of configuration and use
The ease of setup and maintenance dramatically lowers the initial investment and ongoing support
costs for a small business. Wizard based configuration, automatic updates and maintenance, and
remote management capabilities make this an inherently low-cost environment to maintain and
support.

Hardware Capabilities
Performance
Performance is a critical characteristic of the server as productivity of all employees depends on
how fast the server fulfills the required operations.
Using two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors, which are capable of running 8 independent
application threads in parallel, ensures that users get quick responses to their requests even when
the server is already loaded with many other tasks.
Gigabit Ethernet network link provides enough network bandwidth for large file sharing and
backup operations.
SCSI hard-drives have higher spindle rotation speeds and lower seek times compared to SATA
drives, which translates into higher sustained write/read speeds and more operations per second.
Hardware RAID controller provides storage processing power independent of main processors and
64 Mbytes of battery backed cache for maximum performance without risk of losing data.
Reliability, Availability, and Data Integrity
Designed for server usage SCSI hard drives are generally more reliable than regular SATA drives.
SCSI drives are designed to have better resistance to impacts and vibrations. Also SCSI data
exchange protocol incorporates additional reliability features.
RAID-5 provides protection against data loss in case of a single hard-drive failure. If one hard-
drive fails the system will continue its operation. Once the failed drive is replaced with a new one,
the redundant configuration is automatically rebuilt.
Using memory with Error Correction Code (ECC) ensures that random single bit memory errors
do not result in unexpected system ‘blue screen of death’ or data being corrupted and stored
undetected.
Power supplies are considered to be one of the most frequent reasons for hardware failures. Using
two redundant power supplies protects the system against single power supply failures. Moreover,
when both power supplies are alive, power draw is balanced between them. This helps to increase
the life span of each power supply.
Serviceability
Toolless design of the chassis allows easy and quick replacement or addition of the hardware
components.
Hot-swap drive cage allows replacing or adding hard-drives while system is working – with zero
downtime.
Upgradeability
The mainboard has eight DIMM slots. Thus, when more users or new applications are added to the
server, the memory capacity can be expanded by populating empty DIMM slots in addition to four
(or two) DIMMs in the original configuration. Note that expanding memory capacity beyond 4GB
may be needed if upgrade to 64-bit version of the operating system will be performed in future.
The server chassis supports up to 6 hard-drives. Thus, the storage capacity can be expanded by
installing three hard-drives in addition to the three hard-drives in the original configuration.

Checking Firmware Versions
You need to check which versions of firmware are already flashed on your system. This will help
you to determine whether you need to update them or not.
1. Apply AC power to both power supplies
2. Wait 10 seconds for Status LED to stop blinking
3. Press Power button
4. When “Press F2 to enter Setup” is displayed at the bottom of the screen, press and hold
<F2> until “Entering Setup…” is displayed. Wait while system is initializing and entering
Setup. If Setup does not start within 20 seconds, press <F2> once again.
NOTE: If you have problems entering BIOS Setup, replace the keyboard with another model.
5. On the Main tab you can see BIOS version. You need to take a note of the last number. For
example, S5000.86B.02.00.0059 corresponds to version 59.
6. Navigate to Server Management tab. Scroll down System Information and press
<Enter>.

4. Compare the version of BIOS, BMC, and Hot-Swap Backplane Controller (HSC) listed in
the menu to the versions that are already flashed in your system. You will need to flash the
versions from the CD only if they are different.
5. Select ‘Update SRCU41L SCSI RAID FW to ver NNNN’ from the submenu and press
<Enter>. Press <Enter> again to start update process. The update process takes 70
seconds.
WARNING! Do not power off or reset the system when updating any firmware. Interrupting update process
will cause firmware corruption.

takes approximately 2 minutes.

menu and press <Enter>. The update process takes approximately 9 minutes.
WARNING! Do not update Hot-Swap Backplane Controller if your backplane was shipped with firmware
version 1.14 flashed. Trying to re-flash firmware from version 1.14 may render your backplane inoperable.
