This multi-branch architecture provides enhanced performance in Advanced ECC mode. The concept of multiple branches is important for the operation of online spare mode and mirrored memory mode. If the server contains more than 4 GB of memory, consult the operating system documentation about accessing the full amount of installed memory.

Advanced ECC memory

Advanced ECC memory is the default memory protection mode for this server blade. In Advanced ECC, the server blade is protected against correctable memory errors. The server blade provides notification if the level of correctable errors exceeds a pre-defined threshold rate. The server blade does not fail because of correctable memory errors. Advanced ECC provides additional protection over Standard ECC because it is possible to correct certain memory errors that would otherwise be uncorrectable and result in a server blade failure. Whereas standard ECC can correct single-bit memory errors, Advanced ECC can correct single-bit memory errors and multi-bit memory errors if all failed bits are on the same DRAM device on the FBDIMM. In addition to general configuration requirements, Advanced ECC memory also has the following configuration requirements:
FBDIMMs must be installed in pairs. FBDIMMs must be installed in sequential order, beginning with bank A.
Bank A 1A and 3A X X X X Bank B 5B and 7B X X X Bank C 2C and 4C X X Bank D 6D and 8D X
In Advanced ECC mode, FBDIMMs must be populated as specified in the following table:

Configuration 3 4

Online spare memory configuration
Online spare memory provides protection against degrading FBDIMMs by reducing the likelihood of uncorrectable memory errors. This protection is available without any operating system support. An understanding of single-rank and dual-rank FBDIMMs is required to understand memory usage in online spare mode. FBDIMMs can either be single-rank or dual-rank. Certain FBDIMM configuration requirements are based on these classifications. A dual-rank FBDIMM is similar to having two single-rank FBDIMMs on the same module. Although only a single FBDIMM module, a dual-rank FBDIMM acts as two separate FBDIMMs. The purpose of dual-rank FBDIMMs is to provide the largest capacity FBDIMM for the current DRAM technology. If the current DRAM technology allows for 2-GB single-rank FBDIMMs, a dualrank FBDIMM using the same technology would be 4-GB.

Software and configuration utilities 45

Using RBSU

The first time you power up the server blade, the system prompts you to enter RBSU and select a language. Default configuration settings are made at this time and can be changed later. Most of the features in RBSU are not required to set up the server blade. To navigate RBSU, use the following keys:
To access RBSU, press the F9 key during power up when prompted in the upper right corner of the screen. To navigate the menu system, use the arrow keys. To make selections, press the Enter key.
IMPORTANT: RBSU automatically saves settings when you press the Enter key. The utility does not prompt you for confirmation of settings before you exit the utility. To change a selected setting, you must select a different setting and press the Enter key.
Auto-configuration process
The auto-configuration process automatically runs when you boot the server for the first time. During the power-up sequence, the system ROM automatically configures the entire system without needing any intervention. During this process, the ORCA utility, in most cases, automatically configures the array to a default setting based on the number of drives connected to the server. NOTE: The server may not support all the following examples. NOTE: If the boot drive is not empty or has been written to in the past, ORCA does not automatically configure the array. You must run ORCA to configure the array settings.
Drives installed 3, 4, 5, or 6 More than 6 Drives used 3, 4, 5, or RAID level RAID 0 RAID 1 RAID 5 None
To change any ORCA default settings and override the auto-configuration process, press the F8 key when prompted. By default, the auto-configuration process configures the system for the English language. To change any default settings in the auto-configuration process (such as the settings for language, operating system, and primary boot controller), execute RBSU by pressing the F9 key when prompted. After the settings are selected, exit RBSU and allow the server to reboot automatically. For more information, refer to the HP ROM-Based Setup Utility User Guide on the Documentation CD or the HP website (http://www.hp.com/servers/smartstart).

Boot options

After the auto-configuration process completes, or after the server reboots upon exit from RBSU, the POST sequence runs, and then the boot option screen is displayed. This screen is visible for several seconds before the system attempts to boot from a diskette, CD, or hard drive. During this time, the menu on the screen allows you to install an operating system or make changes to the server configuration in RBSU.
Software and configuration utilities 46

BIOS Serial Console

BIOS Serial Console allows you to configure the serial port to view POST error messages and run RBSU remotely through a serial connection to the server COM port. The server that you are remotely configuring does not require a keyboard and mouse.
