Technical specifications

Installation and Use

AGP Support on Server Products: Only the Intel® Server Boards T440BX, S845WD1-E, S875WP1-E, and SE7505VB2 have an AGP slot to allow an AGP video card to be plugged in.

Configuring a RAID Array using the on-board Promise* ATA RAID Controller: When the Promise* FastTrack100™ BIOS screen appears, press CTRL+F to go to the setup screen.

Do I need a Terminator When Using a Single Processor?: There is no need to populate a terminator in an unused processor socket when setting up a single processor system.

Error: "Warning - FastTrak does not detect proper interrupts": Do not press the "Pause" key while the Promise* option ROM is loading.

Error: 4-3-4-1 beep code during POST: Incompatible memory. Use memory from tested memory list.

Guidelines for Using the SCSI Y-Cable with Two Backplanes Connected: The Intel® Server Board SE7500CW2 only has one HSBP header and therefore does not support two SCSI hot-swap drive bays on the same channel.

Hyper-Threading support: Hyper-Threading Technology is enabled in BIOS 1.23 or greater.

IDE Connectors and Functions: The Promise* connectors are capable of being configured in a RAID 0, RAID 1, or RAID 0+1 array. The ICH3 controls the black and white connectors. White is the primary connector and black is the secondary connector. The Promise* controller controls the two blue connectors. The connector closest to the corner of the board is the primary connector and the one above it is the secondary connector.

NetWare* 6.0 Installation hangs at "initializing keyboard": Set the "Legacy USB support" option in BIOS > Advanced to "Disabled".

OS install cannot detect hard drives: A single drive jumpered as slave will allow RAID array creation, but the OS install will fail. Configure single drives as master instead.

Product Guide for the Intel® Base Server Chassis SC5200: SC5200_PRODGUIDE.PDF

Redundancy Across Promise* ATA 100 RAID Controllers: Redundancy can only be obtained when drives are spread across two channels in a Master / Master or a Master & Slave / Master & Slave configuration.

Unknown devices in Device Manager: Download the INF Update Utility and the Windows* 2000 NIC Driver.

Windows* 2000 Advanced Server recognizes only 4 GB of memory: The /PAE option must be enabled in the ARC path in the boot.ini file in order for Windows* 2000 to recognize memory above 4.0GB (e.g. multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINNT="Windows 2000 Advanced Server" /PAE /basevideo /sos).
