Installation and Use
  4-3-4-4 beep code during POST
    Fully populate memory Bank 1 (slots 1A and 1B) before populating other memory banks.
  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.
  Error: CMOS Checksum Bad
    Clear the CMOS. See the TPS for instructions.
  Fault Resilient Booting (FRB) Functionality

    The BMC (Baseboard Management Controller) implements FRB levels 1, 2, and 3. If the default bootstrap processor (BSP) fails to complete the boot process, FRB attempts to boot using an alternate processor.

    FRB level 1 is intended to recover from a BIST failure detected during POST. This FRB recovery is fully handled by BIOS code.

    FRB level 2 is intended to recover from a watchdog timeout during POST. The watchdog timer for FRB level 2 is implemented in the BMC.

    FRB level 3 is intended to recover from a watchdog timeout on hard reset or power-up. This provides hardware functionality for this level of FRB.

    FRB-1 In a multiprocessor system, the BIOS registers the application processors in the multi-processor (MP) table and the ACPI APIC tables. When started by the BSP, if an application processor (AP) fails to complete initialization within a certain time, it is assumed to be nonfunctional. If the BIOS detects that an application processor has failed BIST or is nonfunctional, it requests the BMC disable that processor. The BMC then generates a system reset while disabling the processor; the BIOS will not see the failed processor in the next boot cycle. The failing AP is not listed in the MP table, nor in the ACPI APIC tables, and is invisible to the OS. If the BIOS detects that the BSP has failed BIST, it sends a request to the BMC to disable the present processor. If there is no alternate processor available, the BMC beeps the speaker and halts the system. If the BMC can find another processor, BSP ownership is transferred to that processor via a system reset.

    FRB-2 The second watchdog timer (FRB-2) in the BMC is set for approximately 6 minutes by BIOS and is designed to guarantee that the system completes BIOS POST. The FRB-2 timer is enabled before the FRB-3 timer is disabled to prevent any "unprotected" window of time. Near the end of POST, before the option ROMs are initialized, the BIOS will disable the FRB-2 timer in the BMC. If the system contains more than 1 GB of memory and the user chooses to test every DWORD of memory, the watchdog timer is disabled before the extended memory test starts, because the memory test can take more than 6 minutes under this configuration. If the system hangs during POST, the BIOS will not disable the timer in the BMC, which generates an asynchronous system reset (ASR).

    FRB-3 The first timer (FRB-3) starts counting down whenever the system comes out of hard reset, which is usually about 5 seconds. If the BSP successfully resets and starts executing, the BIOS will disable the FRB-3 timer in the BMC by de-asserting the FRB_TIMER_HLT signal (GPIO) and the system continues on with the POST. If the timer expires because of the BSP's failure to fetch or execute BIOS code, the BMC resets the system and disables the failed processor. The system continues to change the BSP until the BIOS POST gets past disabling the FRB-3 timer in the BMC. The BMC sounds beep codes on the speaker if it fails to find a good processor. The process of cycling through all the processors is repeated upon system reset or power cycle.

  Hot Swap Backplane Driver does not Install in Microsoft Windows Server 2003*
    If a yellow '!' persists in Device Manager, use the following method to install the driver:
    1. Download the Intel® SCA Backplane HSBP driver for Microsoft Windows* Server 2000
    2. Go to Device manager and delete ESG-SHV item from “Other Devices” tree
    3. Choose Actions > Scan for hardware changes
    4. Select Options > Don't auto detect > Select from list
    5. From the list of Devices select "System"
    6. Choose "Have Disk"
    7. Browse to extracted Windows 2000* driver, and select "Intel® SCA Backplane"
    8. Override the driver signing warnings and choose "Install anyway"

  Unable to access the RAID Option ROM during POST
    The hotkey option to enter the Option ROM is disabled by default. To display this option, the Intel® Quiet or Silent Boot options need to be disabled in the BIOS. This will disable the Intel splash screen during POST displaying the hotkey option for the option ROM. This may apply to RAID controllers as well as other add-in adapters such as RAID controller cards. The Matrix Storage Manager Option ROM will display only when the following is met:
    - RAID is enabled in the BIOS.
    - At least two drives are connected to the system.
    - Quiet Boot is disabled in the BIOS.
  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)
