Server Software and Utilities Introduction 2 This chapter describes the utilities supplied with your server. Server utilities include: 1 • ServerWORKS Quick Launch This software is used to install a network operating system onto the server1. The CD-ROM also contains various drivers and on-line documentation.
Server Software and Utilities ServerWORKS Quick Launch Quick Launch is used to install the server’s Network Operating System (NOS). In addition to providing quick and seamless NOS installation, Quick Launch also provides drivers, documentation, and the ability to make diskettes of utilities such as diagnostics. For more information, refer to the Quick Launch Reference Guide. System Configuration Utility (SCU) The SCU enables you check or change your server’s configuration.
Server Software and Utilities PRIORIS XL 6000 The SCU always updates the checksums for both areas so that the BIOS can detect any potential data corruption before the actual hardware configuration takes place. If the data is corrupted, the BIOS requests that you configure the server before it can boot. Refer to “Starting the SCU” described later in this chapter. Refer to Appendix C, “SCU Features,” for more details about the SCU. Refer to the ServerWORKS Quick Launch Reference Guide and the ReadMe.
Server Software and Utilities 3. You can also run the SCU by inserting the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk, rebooting the server, and pressing and holding the right [ALT] key during the boot process to display the SCU. NOTE: If PCI cards have been added to your server, the SCU will be invoked automatically when you boot from the Quick Launch CD-ROM disk. The .SCI file is not saved when you use this method to run the SCU. Using the SCU To use the SCU: 1. Turn on your server and allow the POST to complete.
Flash Memory Update Program All servers have BIOS software in a ROM. This BIOS initializes hardware and boots the operating system when the server is turned on. The BIOS also provides access to other services such as keyboard and disk drives. You can upgrade your server's BIOS to future releases by executing the flash utility located in the BIOS update kit. The flash utility and BIOS updates are available on the Digital’s BBS at (508) 495-8800 or on the world wide web at: http://www.digital.
Server Software and Utilities Diagnostics The diagnostics for the server are located on the Quick Launch CD-ROM. In addition, the manual is also located on the CD-ROM in an on-line format. The Quick Launch CD-ROM can be used to make a floppy diskette of the diagnostics. For more information, refer to the Quick Launch Reference Guide.

Installing Expansion Boards Introduction 7 This chapter contains the configuration guidelines that must be followed prior to installing ISA or PCI expansion boards as well as detailed installation procedures. Note that PCI expansion boards can be SCSI. ISA Expansion Board Configuration Guidelines • ISA slots one and two support industry-standard 16-bit ISA boards. • ISA boards should be installed starting in ISA slot one.
Installing Expansion Boards Figure 7-1.
Installing Expansion Boards • PCI slots one through three support bus mastering 32-bit PCI expansion boards. • PCI boards should be installed starting in PCI slot one. PRIORIS XL 6000 PCI Expansion Board Configuration Guidelines NOTE: Your server’s BIOS will automatically disable the onboard video controller when a video expansion board is installed. Connect the video cable to the video expansion board and the server will boot normally.
Installing Expansion Boards Server Boot Sequence The server boot sequence is as follows: 1. If a bootable CD-ROM drive is enabled and a bootable CD-ROM is put in this drive, the server ignores all other settings and boots from the CD-ROM. 2. If a CD-ROM is not present, the operating system can boot from either drive A or C depending on how an option in the SCU has been set. This option determines which drive is selected first as the boot device. One option is A: then C: (default).
Installing Expansion Boards PRIORIS XL 6000 Server Scan Sequence If the boot device is neither the CD-ROM drive or the diskette drive, then the operating system will be found on drive C. The location of drive C can be determined as follows: 1. The search for a bootable device is started from a low ROM address to a high ROM address (starting at C8000h). The boot device with the lower address gets higher priority to be assigned as drive C then those with higher addresses. 2.
Installing Expansion Boards Boot Device Assignment Example In this example, the assumption is that “PCI slots” is the selected boot sequence preference in the SCU. PCI Scan Order Example PCI slot 1 PCI 2 channel SCSI controller with an onboard PCI to PCI bridge chip to an internal PCI bus where one SCSI controller is attached.
Installing Expansion Boards Two Channel SCSI Controller PRIORIS XL 6000 PCI Bus 0 (Slots 1- PCI Slot 3 2940W PCI Bus 1 ID 1 ID 3 Ch 1 ID 3 ID 1 Ch 2 DEC01035 Figure 7-2.
Installing Expansion Boards Identifying PCI Devices in the SCU The SCU automatically scans for PCI devices and assigns resources to them. PCI devices appear in the SCU as either assigned to a slot, or as embedded devices. If a PCI expansion board uses one or more interrupts, but none of the interrupts are shared, then the SCU will contain an entry for each interrupt used by that PCI expansion board.
When the number of PCI devices exceeds 10, any additional devices will appear as embedded devices, even if they require an IRQ assigned to them. The embedded devices are listed in the order in which they were detected. To associate embedded devices with particular PCI expansion boards, you must know the number of devices (excluding PCI-to-PCI bridges, which are not listed in the SCU) on each PCI expansion board.
Installing Expansion Boards Installing Expansion Boards The following sections describe how to install ISA and PCI expansion boards. Detailed procedures on running the SCU before installing ISA expansion boards and after installing PCI expansion boards are also included. Adding ISA Expansion Boards Perform the following steps before installing ISA expansion boards: 1. Start the SCU using one of the three methods described in Chapter 2, “Starting the SCU.” 2.

Flash ROM Flash ROM stores the system BIOS in 256KB of flash memory. Flash memory allows the BIOS to be upgraded from a diskette or CD-ROM, such as Quick Launch. Real-Time Clock (RTC) The Real-Time Clock contains 128 bytes of general purpose RAM that stores system BIOS configuration information, clock registers, and general purpose control registers. NVRAM This RAM stores EISA configuration information in an 8K x 8 SRAM controlled by the RTC.
Block Diagram System I/O Functions System input and output functions are controlled by the Super I/O controller. This controller supports two serial UARTs, one parallel port, and the diskette controller. It provides a buffer for the serial ports, and EPP/ECP modes for the parallel port. The diskette controller has support for 360KB, 720KB, 1.2MB, 1.44MB, and 2.88MB disks. Serial Interface Serial interface COM ports are accessible through the rear panel 9-pin D-subminiature connectors.
Parallel Interface The parallel interface LPT1 port is accessible through the rear panel 25-pin D-type connector. It is an AT and Centronics compatible bi-directional parallel port. The user can select the printer port to be in either PS/2-compatible mode or extended parallel port (EPP) bi-directional mode through Setup. The following table lists parallel interface pin assignments. L denotes low true logic.
Block Diagram Diskette Controller The Super I/O also has a floppy disk drive (FDD) controller which supports two diskette drive devices through a daisy-chained ribbon cable. Data transfer rates are selectable to be 250/300 Kb/s or 500/1000 Kb/s. These rates are compatible with the 5.25” and 3.5” diskette drives. The 5.25” FDD includes high-capacity 1.2MB and lowcapacity 360 KB formats. The 3.5” FDD includes 720KB, 1.44MB, and 2.88MB formats.

Block Diagram SCSI Controller The PCI SCSI controller (7880) supports the ultra internal narrow and internal wide SCSI connectors. The internal wide SCSI connector supports the storage backplane and hard disks. The internal narrow SCSI supports tape drives and the CD-ROM. The SCSI bus has active termination on the MLB, with each byte (high 8 bits and low 8 bits) capable of being enabled separately. This bus goes to two connectors – one wide and one narrow.
PCI Bus The Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus provides three physical address spaces: • 32-bit memory • 32-bit I/O • 256 byte-per-agent configuration space. The PCI bus supports 8-bit, 16-bit, and 32-bit data transfers at a bus clock speed of 30 or 33 MHz depending on CPU speed. This allows 32-bit data transfers at 120 MB per second. The MLB has three PCI slots. Bus mastering is supported on all three PCI slots.
