Configuration and Usage of RJ-45 Serial Ports
If the Intel Server Board SCB2 is integrated with either the Intel® Server Chassis SR1200 or Intel® Server Chassis SR2200, a front RJ-45 serial connector is available. This connector is set up to support PC to PC communication only. The purpose for this connector is for quick access to the server management capabilities of the Intel Server Board SCB2 system using a "crash cart" or similar PC running the server management software. This port, if used, will disable the rear serial port until the cable has been removed. For customers needing a converter from RJ-45 to DB-9, an accessory kit including adapters for DCD, DSR and PC to PC communication, the order code for this kit is AXXRJ45DB9.

Flex Bay
The left and center drive bays are for ATA or SCSI hard drives, depending on the backplane used in the system. The right "flex" bay supports either a third SCSI drive or a slim-line Floppy/CD-ROM.
The chassis ships with a square blank panel and a smaller plastic filler plug in the flex bay. The third hard drive carrier comes with the SCSI backplane, if ordered. Save the filler plug for aesthetic reasons. If using the Floppy/CD-ROM module is used, make sure the drive is fully seated. To properly seat the module, move the handle down, place your thumbs just above the indents in the handle on the floppy drive, and push back gently until you feel the drive snap into place.

Removing the Reserve Sector of an IDE Hard Drive on the Promise* FastTrak100
Symptoms
Unable to partition or format a drive successfully.
When attempting to remove a partition with FDISK the volume name is unreadable, making it impossible to complete the removal.
Problems with reading and writing to the drives or array, such as fatal errors or corruption.
Array constantly goes into Critical or Off-line Mode during a reboot.
Problems rebuilding mirrors (RAID 1) and mirror/stripe (RAID 0+1)
Cause
When any array is created using the Promise* FastTrak100 RAID Controller, a reserve sector is placed on each drive that belongs to the newly created array. This reserve sector allows the Promise* FastTrak100 to identify which drives belong to which array. The reserve sector also contains file allocation information that is needed for reading and writing to any array. The reserve sector can become corrupt or bad from time to time causing any number of issues to arise.
Solution
To clean up a corrupt or bad reserve sector, you must remove the reserve sector, then rebuild the reserve sector by recreating or rebuilding the array.
*When removing the reserve sector on drives that belong to any mirror, you should remove the reserve sector from the "mirror" drive first. Remove the reserve sector on the master drive as a last resort. If the reserve sectors on both disks are removed, data will be unrecoverable.
**Removing the reserve sector from any drive that belongs to a stripe set will result in a non-functional array and data loss.
  1. When the FastTrak100 BIOS comes up, press CTRL-F to enter the BIOS.
  2. Press 2 to "View Drive Assignments".
  3. Using the arrow keys, highlight the first drive.
  4. Press ALT-F1. The highlighted drive will start blinking on the screen.
  5. Press CTRL-TAB and a message will appear that says the reserved sector (which is where array information is kept) on the disk will be wiped. Press "Y" to confirm.
  6. Do this for each member of the particular array that is having a problem.
  7. When finished, hit the "ESC" key twice to reboot.
  8. After rebooting re-enter the FastTrack100* BIOS and rebuild or recreate the array.
