2 Using the System Setup Program Start Menu The system employs the latest AMI CMOS BIOS, which is stored in Flash memory. The Flash memory supports the Plug and Play specification, and contains a System Setup program, the Power On Self Test (POST) routine, and the PCI auto-configuration utility. This system board supports system BIOS shadowing, enabling the BIOS to execute from 64-bit onboard write-protected DRAM.
System Setup Options at Boot Initiate Setup during POST Load optimal (e.g. CMOS) defaults Save Settings and exit in BIOS Setup Console Redirection The console redirection allows a remote user to diagnose and fix problems on a server, which has not successfully booted the operating system. The centerpiece of the console redirection is the BIOS console. The BIOS Console is a flash memory resident utility that redirects input and output over a serial or modem connection.

4 Troubleshooting Your System Safety First – For You and Your System WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself. WARNING: Before removing the system cover, disconnect all power, then unplug the AC power cord, and then disconnect all peripherals, and all LAN lines. CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
If the system does not power on, check the LED display. If the power LED is not on, you may not be receiving AC power. Check the AC power cord to make sure that it is securely connected. Troubleshooting System Startup Failure If your system halts during startup, especially after installing an operating system or reconfiguring your system‘s hardware, check for invalid memory configurations. These could cause the system to halt at startup without any video output. See "System Memory" on page 131.
2 If the problem is resolved, restart the system, enter the System Setup program, and check if the nonfunctioning USB ports are enabled. 3 Replace the keyboard/mouse with another working keyboard/mouse. If the problem is resolved, replace the faulty keyboard/mouse. If the problem is not resolved, proceed to the next step to begin troubleshooting the other USB devices attached to the system. 4 Power down all attached USB devices and disconnect them from the system.
Jumper Settings" on page 212 for instructions on setting the NVRAM_CLR jumper inside your system and restoring the BIOS to the default settings. 6 7 Reconnect and power on each USB device one at a time. If a device causes the same problem, power down the device, replace the USB cable, and power up the device. If the problem persists, replace the device. If all troubleshooting fails, see "Getting Help" on page 215.
Remove and reinstall the drivers if applicable. See the NIC's documentation. Change the auto-negotiation setting, if possible. Use another connector on the switch or hub. If you are using a NIC card instead of an integrated NIC, see the documentation for the NIC card. 3 Ensure that the appropriate drivers are installed and the protocols are bound. See the documentation for the NIC card. 4 Enter the System Setup program and confirm that the NIC ports are enabled.
4 Expansion-card Power supplies Fans Processors and heat sinks Memory modules Let the system dry thoroughly for at least 24 hours. 5 6 Reinstall the components you removed in step 3. Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 143. 7 Reconnect the system to the electrical outlet, and turn on the system and attached peripherals. If the system does not start properly, see "Getting Help" on page 215.
4 Memory modules Hard-drive carriers Ensure that all cables are properly connected. 5 6 Close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 143. If the system fails to start, see "Getting Help" on page 215. Troubleshooting the System Battery NOTE: If the system is turned off for long periods of time (for weeks or months), the NVRAM may lose its system configuration information. This situation is caused by a defective battery. 1 Re-enter the time and date through the System Setup program.
Troubleshooting Power Supplies 1 Identify the faulty power supply by the power supply's fault indicator. See " 2 NIC Status Indicator (Link/Activity) Condition Solid green LAN linking/Accessing Off No link 3 Power and System Board Indicator Codes" on page 21. CAUTION: At least one power supply must be installed for the system to operate. Operating the system with only one power supply installed for extended periods of time can cause the system to overheat.
External airflow is obstructed. Cables inside the system obstruct airflow. An individual cooling fan is removed or has failed. See "Troubleshooting a Fan" on page 189. Troubleshooting a Fan CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team.
6 If the fan does not function, turn off the system and install a new fan. See "Cooling Fans" on page 144. 7 Restart the system. If the problem is resolved, close the system. See "Closing the System" on page 143. If the replacement fan does not operate, see "Getting Help" on page 215. Troubleshooting System Memory CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
3 Enter the System Setup program and check the system memory settings. See "System Memory" on page 43. Make any changes to the memory settings, if needed. If the memory settings match the installed memory but a problem is still indicated, go to step 10. 4 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet. Remove the system-board assembly. See "Removing a System-Board Assembly" on page 92. 5 6 Reseat the memory modules in their sockets.
15 Reconnect the system to its electrical outlet, and turn on the system and attached peripherals. 16 As the system boots, observe any error message that appears and the diagnostic indicators on the front of the system. 17 If the memory problem is still indicated, repeat step 10 through step 16 for each memory module installed. If the problem persists after all memory modules have been checked, see "Getting Help" on page 215.
d. Exit the configuration utility and allow the system to boot to the operating system. 2 Ensure that the required device drivers for your controller card are installed and are configured correctly. See the operating system documentation for more information. 3 Restart the system, enter the System Setup program, and verify that the controller is enabled and the drives appear in the System Setup program. See "Using the System Setup Program‖ on page 37.
4 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from its electrical outlet. 5 Remove the system-board assembly. See "Removing a System-Board Assembly" on page 92. Ensure that the controller card is firmly seated into the system board connector. See "Installing the Expansion Card" on page 101. 6 7 If you have a battery-cached SAS RAID controller, ensure that the RAID battery is properly connected and, if applicable, the memory module on the RAID card is properly seated.
Troubleshooting Expansion Cards NOTE: When troubleshooting an expansion card, see the documentation for your operating system and the expansion card. CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty.
Troubleshooting Processors CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came with the product.
12 Remove the system-board assembly. See "Removing a System-Board Assembly" on page 92. 13 Replace processor 1 with processor 2. See "Installing a Processor" on page 97. 14 Repeat step 9 through step 11. If you have tested both the processors and the problem persists, the system board is faulty. See "Getting Help" on page 215. IRQ Assignment Conflicts Most PCI devices can share an IRQ with another device, but they cannot use an IRQ simultaneously.
