1 Setting up the System
Server Position
Please take note of the following criteria for creating a practical and safe workplace when setting up
your computer:
The system can be used anywhere the temperature is suitable for people. However, rooms
with humidity over 70%, and dusty or dirty areas are not appropriate. In addition, do not
expose the server to any temperatures over +30 °C or under +10 °C.
Make sure that the cables connecting the server to peripheral devices are not tight.
Make sure that all power and connection cables are positioned so that they are not trip
hazards.
When you save data to your server‘s hard disks or to a floppy disk, they are stored as
magnetic information on the media. Make sure that they are not damaged by magnetic or
electromagnetic fields.
Because the electronics in your computer can be damaged by jarring, no mechanical devices
should be placed on the same surface as the server. This is especially important for impact
printers whose vibrations could damage the hard disk.
Please take care to ensure a free air flow to the server at all times. Do not block the ventilation
slots of the server case and particularly the power supplies. An insufficient air flow may
damage the server and / or it’s components.
ATTENTION
In order to fully separate the server from current, the power cord must be removed from the wall
outlet.

14 Server System Features
Light Guided Diagnostics
The server board contains diagnostic LEDs to help you identify failed and failing components, and to
help you identify the server from among several servers. Except for the ID LED, the status LED, and
the 5V standby LED, the LEDs turn on (amber) only if a failure occurs.
Figure 5. Light Guided Diagnostic LEDs
A. DIMM fault LEDs The DIMM fault LED identifies faults in the
assigned memory module
B. 5-volt standby LED The LED is labelled “5VSB_LED”. It lights up when
the server is supplied with power and the 5-volt
standby circuit of the mainboard is active.
C. POST code diagnostic LEDs Display BIOS-POST codes during system startup
D. System Identification LED This LED has the same function as the LED on the
system front panel (seeTable 2, page 9).
E. System Status LED This LED displays the same status as the LED on
the system front panel (seeTable 2, page 9).

15MAXDATA Server PLATINUM 1600 IR M2
RAID Support
The setup of a SAS-RAID is supported via the active midplane. The midplane is equipped with a LSI
SAS1078 3 Gbit/s controller chip.
If a RAID activation key and a mini DIMM registered DDR2 with 512 MB for the RAID cache are
installed, a powerful SAS-RAID solution is available for RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50 or 60. The DIMM option
is necessary for the RAID activation key.
If you have installed the RAID activation key, press <Ctrl>+<G> to start the Intel®BIOS Console 2
utility. Start the Configuration Wizard to configure arrays and logical drives.
The LSI MPT-SAS-BIOS can be configured without an installed RAID activation key using the LSI
Logic Configuration utility. When prompted, press <Ctrl>+<C> to start the utility. RAID 1 (Integrated
Mirroring, IM) is supported in this case.
Hardware Requirements
Processor
One or two Intel®Xeon®5500 processors need to be installed.
System Memory
The server board provides six memory channels, each with two slots. Channels A to C with DIMM
A1, A2, B1, B2, C1 and C2 are assigned to processor 1. Channels D to F with DIMM D1, D2, E1, E2,
F1 and F2 are assigned to processor 2. The channels D, E and F can only be used when processor
2 has been configured.
If two processors are configured, both processors can then access the entire memory via Intel®
QuickPath Interconnect (Intel®QPI).
Within a channel, DIMM 1 must be configured before DIMM 2 can be installed.

Available memory modules
• 1.5 V DDR3 DIMMs, registered (RDIMMs) or unbuffered (UDIMMs, with or without ECC)
• Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not permitted.
• If at least one UDIMM is installed without ECC, the entire memory is operated without ECC.
• The following DIMM and DRAM technologies are supported:
• RDIMMs:
- Single-, dual- and quad-rank
- x4 or x8 DRAM with 1 Gbit and 2 Gbit technology; 2 GB or 4 GB RDIMMs based on 2 Gbit
DRAM are not supported.
- DDR3 1333 (only single- and dual-rank), DDR3 1066 and DDR3 800
• UDIMMs:
- Single- and dual-rank
- x8 DRAM with 1 Gbit or 2 Gbit technology
- DDR3 1333, DDR3 1066 and DDR3 800
Memory Mirroring
The chipset supports memory mirroring. Memory mirroring is a concept devised to avoid loss of data
if one DIMM fails.
The maximum useable memory amounts to half of the installed memory in a mirrored system.
Memory mirroring is achieved by mirroring the first two memory channels of each processor. The
third channel (C or F) remains unused.
For memory mirroring, the DIMMs need to have the same capacity and technology across all
channels.
Optional Hardware
Remote Management Module
The remote management module provides extended functions for server management. A dedicated
network card is provided for remote access.
Add-in I/O modules
The server board provides two I/O add-in slots (mezzanine port 1 and 2). Each of these slots uses a
PCIe 2.0 connection.
Optional I/O modules for this purpose are
• Dual-port Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (uses one mezzanine port)
• Quad-port Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (uses both mezzanine ports)
• Dual-port 10 Gigabit Ethernet I/O module (uses both mezzanine ports)
•
SAS I/O module with four external ports (uses one mezzanine port; external SAS port: SFF-8470)
This module enables extension without populating a PCIe standard slot.
