The chipset provides an integrated I/O bridge and memory controller, and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI Express*). The chipset consists of three primary components: 3.2.1 Memory Controller Hub (MCH) 3.2.1.1 Intel® E7230 Chipset MCH: Memory Control Hub The MCH accepts access requests from the host (processor) bus and directs those accesses to memory or to one of the PCI buses. The MCH monitors the host bus, examining addresses for each request. Accesses may be directed to the following: ƒ A memory request queue for subsequent forwarding to the memory subsystem ƒ An outbound request queue for subsequent forwarding to one of the PCI buses The MCH also accepts inbound requests from the Intel® ICH7R. The MCH is responsible for generating the appropriate controls to control data transfer to and from memory. 12 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture The MCH is a 1210-ball FC-BGA device and uses the proven components of the following previous generations: ƒ Pentium® processor Extreme Edition ƒ Pentium® D Processor ƒ Pentium® 4 Processor bus interface unit ƒ Hub interface unit ƒ DDR2 memory interface unit In addition, the MCH incorporates an integrated high performance graphics media accelerator and a PCI Express* interface. The PCI Express* interface allows the MCH to directly interface with the PCI Express* devices (like PXH-V/PXH-VD). The MCH also increases the main memory interface bandwidth and maximum memory configuration with a 72-bit wide memory interface. The MCH integrates the following main functions: ƒ An integrated high performance main memory subsystem ƒ A PCI Express* bus which provides an interface to the PCI-Express devices( Fully compliant to the PCI Express* Base Specification, Rev 1.0a) ƒ A DMI which provides an interface to the Intel® ICH7R Other features provided by the MCH include the following: ƒ Full support of ECC on the processor bus ƒ Full support of Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction on the memory interface with x4 DIMMs ƒ Twelve deep in-order queue, two deep defer queue ƒ Full support of un-buffered DDR2 ECC DIMMs ƒ Support for 256MB, 512MB, 1 GB and 2 GB DDR2 memory modules ƒ Memory scrubbing 3.2.1.2 MCH Memory Sub-System Overview The MCH supports a 72-bit wide memory sub-system that can support a maximum of 8 GB of DDR2 memory using two GB DIMMs. This configuration needs external registers for buffering the memory address and control signals. The four chip selects are registered inside the MCH and need no external registers for chip selects. The memory interface runs at 400/533/667MT/s. The memory interface supports a 72-bit wide memory array. It uses seventeen address lines (BA [2:0] and MA [13:0]) and supports 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2GB DRAM densities. The DDR DIMM interface supports memory scrubbing, single-bit error correction, and multiple bit error detection and Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction with x4 DIMMs. 13 Revision 1.4 Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS 3.2.1.2.1 DDR2 Configurations The DDR2 interface supports up to 8 GB of main memory and supports single- and double- density DIMMs. The DDR2 can be any industry-standard DDR2. The following table shows the DDR2 DIMM technology supported. Table 4.

The PCI Express* interface allows direct connection with the PXH-V-V or dedicated PCI-E devices. (Fully compliant to the PCI Express* Base Specification, Rev 1.0a). 3.2.1.3.2 x1 PCI Express* Subsystem The Intel® ICH7R supports 2 x1 PCI Express* buses. One supports a dedicated x4 PCI Express* slot. The other supports the Intel® 82573-gigabit Ethernet controller. One 32-bit PCI bus segment is directed through the Intel® ICH7R Interface A. This PCI Segment B only has an embedded device, Intel® 82573E/V LAN (NIC2) clocked at 1.5GHz. 3.2.1.3.2.1 Device IDs (IDSEL) Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD [31:16], which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table shows the bit to which each IDSEL signal is attached for P32-B devices and corresponding device description: 14 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture Table 5. Segment B Configuration IDs IDSEL Value Device 19 Intel® 82573E/V LAN (NIC2) 3.2.1.3.2.2 Segment B Arbitration PCI Segment B supports one PCI masters. All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access using resources supplied by the Intel® ICH7R. The host bridge PCI interface arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are internal to the Intel® ICH7R. The following table defines the arbitration connections: Table 6. Segment B Arbitration Connections Baseboard Signals Device PCIX REQ_N0/GNT_N0 Intel® 82541PI LAN (NIC2) 3.2.1.3.2.3 Segment D 64bit/133MHz PCI-X Subsystem One 64-bit PCI-X* bus segment is directed through the PXH-V. This PCI-X* segment, Segment D interface A, provides the following: ƒ Two 3.3V 64-bit PCI-X* slots or ƒ One 3.3V 64-bit PCI-X* riser slot, (Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1LX SKU only) The PCI-X* slot is capable of speeds up to 133MHz operation and supports full-length PCI and PCI-X adapters. If installed, the riser forces the slot to operate at 100MHz. 3.2.1.3.2.3.1 Device IDs (IDSEL) Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD [31:16], which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table shows the bit to which each IDSEL signal is attached for P64-C devices and corresponding device description: Table 7.

All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access using resources supplied by the ICH7. The host bridge PCI interface (ICH7) arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are a special case in that they are internal to the host bridge. The following table defines the arbitration connections.

It can support x1, x4, x 8 PCI-E add-in cards or through the I/O riser through the Intel® Adaptive Slot (LX SKU only) Table 9. Segment E Connections Lane Device Lane 0~7 Slot 6 or Intel® Adaptive Slot (PCI Express* x8) 3.2.2 PCI-X Hub (PXH) PXH-V-V: PCI-X Hub (LX SKU Only) The PXH-V hub is a peripheral chip that performs PCI bridging functions between the PCI Express* interface and the PCI bus. The PXH-V contains two PCI bus interfaces that can be independently configured to operate in PCI (33 or 66 MHz), PCI-X Mode1 (66,100,133), for either 32 or 64 bits. 3.2.3 I/O Controller Hub 3.2.3.1 Intel® ICH7R: I/O Controller Hub 7R The Intel® ICH7R controller has several components. It provides the interface for a 32-bit/33- MHz PCI bus. The Intel® ICH7R can be both a master and a target on that PCI bus. The Intel® ICH7R also includes a USB 2.0 controller and an IDE controller. The Intel® ICH7R is also responsible for much of the power management functions, with ACPI control registers built in. The Intel® ICH7R also provides a number of GPIO pins and has the LPC bus to support low speed Legacy I/O. The MCH and Intel® ICH7R chips provide the pathway between the processor and the I/O systems. The MCH is responsible for accepting access requests from the host (processor) bus, and directing all I/O accesses to one of the PCI buses or Legacy I/O locations. If the cycle is directed to one of the PCI-E segments, the MCH communicates with the PCI-E Devices (add-in 16 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture card, on board devices) through the PCI-E interface. If the cycle is directed to the Intel® ICH7R, the cycle is output on the MCH’s DMI bus. All I/O for the board, including PCI and PC- compatible I/O, is directed through the MCH and then through the Intel® ICH7R provided PCI buses. The Intel® ICH7R is a multi-function device, housed in a 609-pin mBGA device. It provides the following: ƒ A DMI bus ƒ A PCI 32-bit/33 MHz interface ƒ An IDE interface ƒ An integrated Serial ATA Host controller ƒ A USB controller ƒ A PCI-E x4 interface ƒ A power management controller Each function within the Intel® ICH7R has its own set of configuration registers. Once configured, each appears to the system as a distinct hardware controller sharing the same PCI bus interface. The primary role of the ICH7R is providing the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and features. The board uses the following the Intel® ICH7R features: ƒ PCI 32-bit/33MHz interface for PCI slots 1 and 2 and Intel® 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller ƒ PCI 32-bit/33MHz interface to dedicated ATI ES1000* video subsystem ƒ LPC bus interface ƒ x4 PCI Express* interface for PXH-V-V device (supplies PCI-X on LX SKU only) ƒ x1 PCI Express* resource for dedicated x4 PCI Express* slot ƒ x1 PCI Express* interface for Intel® 82573E/V gigabit Ethernet Controller ƒ DMI (Direct Media Interface) ƒ IDE interface, with Ultra ATA 100/66/33 capability ƒ Integrated quad-port Serial ATA Host controller ƒ Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 interface ƒ PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA controllers ƒ APIC and 82C59 interrupt controller ƒ Power management ƒ System RTC ƒ Supports Smbus 2.0 Specification ƒ General purpose I/O (GPIO) The following are the descriptions of how each supported feature is used for Intel® ICH7R on the board. 17 Revision 1.4 Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS 3.2.3.2 IDE Interface (Bus Master Capability and Synchronous DMA Mode) The Intel® ICH7R acts as a PCI-based Ultra ATA 100/66/33 IDE controller that supports programmed I/O transfers and bus master IDE transfers. The Intel® ICH7R supports one IDE channel, supporting two drives each (drives 0 and 1). The baseboard provides a 40-pin (2x20) IDE connector to access the IDE functionality. The IDE interface supports Ultra ATA 100/66/33 Synchronous DMA Mode transfers on the 40- pin connector. 3.2.3.3 SATA Controller The Intel® ICH7R contains four SATA ports. The data transfer rates up to 300Mbyte/s per port. 3.2.3.4 Compatibility Modules (DMA Controller, Timer/Counters, Interrupt Controller) The Intel® ICH7R provides the functionality of two-cascaded 82C59 with 15 interrupts handling. Support processor system bus interrupt. 3.2.3.5 Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) Interrupt generation and notification to the processor is done by the APICs in the Intel® ICH7R using messages on the front side bus. 3.2.3.6 Universal Serial Bus (USB) Controller The Intel® ICH7R contains one EHCI USB 2.0 controller and four USB ports. The USB controller moves data between main memory and up to four USB connectors. All ports function identically and with the same bandwidth. The Intel® Server Board SE7230NH1-E implements four ports on the board. The baseboard provides two external USB ports on the back of the server board. The dual-stack USB connector is located within the standard ATX I/O panel area. The Universal Serial Bus Specification, Revision 1.1, defines the external connectors. The third/fourth USB port is optional and can be accessed by cabling from an internal 9-pin connector located on the base board to an external USB port located either in front or the rear of a given chassis. 3.2.3.7 Enhanced Power Management One of the embedded functions of the Intel® ICH7R is a power management controller. This is used to implement ACPI-compliant power management features. The baseboard does support sleep states S1, S4, and S5. 3.3 Memory Sub-System The baseboard supports up to four DIMM slots for a maximum memory capacity of 8 GB. The DIMM organization is x72, which includes eight ECC check bits. The memory interface runs at 400/533/667MTs. The memory controller supports the following: 18 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture ƒ Memory scrubbing ƒ Single-bit error correction ƒ Multiple-bit error detection ƒ Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction support with x4 DIMMs Memory can be implemented with either single sided (one row) or double-sided (two row) DIMMs 3.3.1 Memory Configuration The memory interface between the MCH and the DIMMs is 64-bit (non-ECC) or 72-bit (ECC) wide interface. There are two banks of DIMMs, labeled 1 and 2. Bank 1 contains DIMM socket locations DIMM_1A and DIMM_2A. Bank 2 contains DIMM socket locations DIMM_1B and DIMM_2B. The sockets associated with each bank or “channel,” are located next to each other and the DIMM socket identifiers are marked on the base board silkscreen, near the DIMM socket. Bank 1 is associated with Memory Channel A while Bank 2 is associated with Memory Channel B. When only two DIMM modules are being used, the population order must be DIMM_1A, DIMM_1B to ensure dual channel operating mode. In order to operate in dual channel dynamic paging mode, the following conditions must be met: ƒ Two identical DIMMs are installed, one each in DIMM_1A and DIMM_1B ƒ Four identical DIMMs are installed (one in each socket location) Note: Installing only three DIMMs is not supported. Do not use DIMMs that are not “matched” (same type and speed). Use of identical memory parts is always the preferred method. See Figure 4 on the following page for reference. The system design is free to populate or not to populate any rank on either channel, including either degenerate single channel case. DIMM and memory configurations must adhere to the following: ƒ DDR2 400/533/667 , un-buffered, DDR2 DIMM modules ƒ DIMM organization: x72 ECC or x 64 Non-ECC ƒ Pin count: 240 ƒ DIMM capacity: 256 MB, 512 MB, 1 GB and 2 GB DIMMs ƒ Serial PD: JEDEC Rev 2.0 ƒ Voltage options: 1.8 V ƒ Interface: SSTL2 19 Revision 1.4 Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Table 10.

Only DIMMs tested and qualified by Intel or a designated memory test vendor are supported on this board. A list of qualified DIMMs is available at http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7230NH1E. Note that all DIMMs are supported by design, but only fully qualified DIMMs will be supported on the board. The minimum supported DIMM size is 256 MB. Therefore, the minimum main memory configuration is 1 x 256 MB or 256 MB. The largest size DIMM supported is 2 GB and as such, the maximum main memory configuration is 8 GB implemented by 4 x 2 GB DIMMs. ƒ Only un-buffered DDR2 400/533/667 compliant, ECC x8 and Non-ECC x8 or x16 memory DIMMs are supported. ƒ ECC single-bit errors (SBE) will be corrected while multiple-bit error (MBE) will only be detected. ƒ Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E also supports Intel® x4 Single Device Data Correction with x4 DIMMs. ƒ The maximum memory capacity is 8 GB via four 2 GB DIMM modules. ƒ The minimum memory capacity is 256 MB via a single 256 MB DIMM module. 3.4 I/O Sub-System 3.4.1 PCI Subsystem The primary I/O buses for the Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E are five independent PCI bus segments providing PCI, PCI-E and PCI-X* resources (LX SKU only). The PCI buses comply with the PCI Local Bus Specification, Rev 2.3. PCI Segments A, B and C are directed through the Intel® ICH7R. PCI Segment D is independently configured to PXH-V that is through Intel® ICH7R by PCI Express* x4 interface. PCI Segment E is directed through the MCH by PCI-E x8 interface. The table below lists the characteristics of the three PCI bus segments. 21 Revision 1.4 Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Table 12.

P32-A supports the following embedded devices and connectors: ƒ One Intel® 82541PI Network Controller ƒ Two slots capable of supporting full length PCI add-in cards operating at 33 MHz All 32-bit/33-MHz PCI I/O for the board is directed through the Intel® ICH7R. The 32-bit/33-MHz PCI segment created by the Intel® ICH7R is known as PCI Segment A. Segment A supports the following embedded devices and connectors: ƒ One 10/100/1000-T Network Interface Controller: Intel® 82541PI Fast Ethernet Controller. 3.4.1.1.1 Device IDs (IDSEL) Each device under the PCI hub bridge has its IDSEL signal connected to one bit of AD (31:16), which acts as a chip select on the PCI bus segment in configuration cycles. This determines a unique PCI device ID value for use in configuration cycles. The following table shows the bit to which each IDSEL signal is attached for Segment A devices and the corresponding device description. Table 13. Segment A Configuration IDs IDSEL Value Device 19 Intel® 82541PI LAN (NIC2) 18 PCI Slot 1 and 2 (32b/33MHz) 3.4.1.1.2 Segment A Arbitration PCI Segment A supports two PCI devices: the Intel® ICH7R and one PCI bus masters (NIC). All PCI masters must arbitrate for PCI access, using resources supplied by the Intel® ICH7R. The host bridge PCI interface (ICH7R) arbitration lines REQx* and GNTx* are a special case in that they are internal to the host bridge. The following table defines the arbitration connections. 22 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture Table 14.

The two controllers are cascaded with interrupt levels 8-15 entering on level 2 of the primary interrupt controller (standard PC configuration). A single interrupt signal is presented to the processors, to which only one processor will respond for servicing. The Intel® ICH7R contains configuration registers that define which interrupt source logically maps to I/O APIC INTx pins. The ICH7 handles both PCI and IRQ interrupts. The Intel® ICH7R translates these to the APIC bus. The numbers in the table below indicate the Intel® ICH7R PCI interrupt input pin to which the associated device interrupt (INTA, INTB, INTC, INTD, INTE, INTF, INTG, INTH for PCI bus and PXIRQ0, PXIRQ1, PXIRQ2, PXIRQ3 for PCI-X bus) is connected. The Intel® ICH7R I/O APIC exists on the I/O APIC bus with the processors. Table 15.

The Intel® I/O APICs monitor each interrupt on each PCI device; including PCI slots in addition to the ISA compatibility interrupts IRQ (0-15). When an interrupt occurs, a message corresponding to the interrupt is sent across a three-wire serial interface to the local APICs. The APIC bus minimizes interrupt latency time for compatibility interrupt sources. The I/O APICs can also supply greater than 16 interrupt levels to the processor(s). This APIC bus consists of an APIC clock and two bidirectional data lines. 23 Revision 1.4 Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS 3.4.2.3 Legacy Interrupt Sources The table below recommends the logical interrupt mapping of interrupt sources on the board. The actual interrupt map is defined using configuration registers in the ICH7. Table 16. Interrupt Definitions ISA Interrupt Description INTR Processor interrupt. NMI NMI to processor.

Serialized Interrupt Requests (SERIRQ) consists of a start frame, a minimum of 17 IRQ / data channels, and a stop frame. Any slave device in the quiet mode may initiate the start frame. While in the continuous mode, the start frame is initiated by the host controller. 3.5 PCI Error Handling The PCI bus defines two error pins, PERR# and SERR#, for reporting PCI parity errors and system errors, respectively. In the case of PERR#, the PCI bus master has the option to retry the offending transaction, or to report it using SERR#. All other PCI-related errors are reported by SERR#. SERR# is routed to NMI if enabled by BIOS. 24 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Functional Architecture ICH7 IOAPIC 0 DMI INTERFACE IRQ0 IRQ1 IRQ2 IRQ3 IRQ4 IRQ5 IRQ6 IRQ7 IRQ8 IRQ9 ICH7 IRQ10 ICH7 IRQ11 IRQ12 8259PIC IRQ13 IRQ14 IRQ15 IRQ16 IRQ17 IRQ18 IRQ19 IRQ20 IRQ21 IRQ22 IRQ23 x8 PCI-E interface INTR x8 Connector MCH CPU 25 Revision 1.4 ICH7 Interrupt Routing PCI Interface Serialized IRQ Interface Functional Architecture Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Figure 5.

System BIOS 4.1 BIOS Setup Utility The BIOS Setup utility is provided to perform system configuration changes and to display current settings and environment information. The BIOS Setup utility stores configuration settings in system non-volatile storage. Changes affected by BIOS Setup will not take effect until the system is rebooted. The BIOS Setup Utility can be accessed when prompted during POST by using the F2 key. 4.1.1 Localization The Setup program and help messages currently support up to six languages. However, depending upon space requirements the following applies with regard to language support. Flex BIOS handles Languages now based upon OEM requirements. This is a stretch goal. The default language is US English. This is the only language that is guaranteed to be properly translated and functional. 4.1.2 Configuration Reset There are different mechanisms for resetting the system configuration to default values. When a reset system configuration request is detected, the BIOS will load the default system configuration values during the next POST. A reset system configuration request can be generated by moving the Clear CMOS jumper. 4.1.3 Keyboard Commands The Keyboard Command Bar supports the following keys: Table 23. BIOS Setup Keyboard Command Bar Options Key Option Description Enter Execute Command The Enter key is used to activate sub-menus when the selected feature is a sub-menu, or to display a pick list if a selected option has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the Enter key will undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu. ESC Exit The ESC key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field. This key will undo the pressing of the Enter key. When the ESC key is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed, any sub-menu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the ESC key is pressed, any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded. If “No” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, or if the ESC key is pressed, the user is returned to where they were before ESC was pressed without affecting any existing any settings. If “Yes” is selected and the Enter key is pressed, setup is exited and the BIOS continues with POST. 34 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS System BIOS Key Option Description Select Item The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a pick list, or the previous options ↑ in a menu item's option list.

Download the DOS BIOS update utility from the server board URL site listed above and copy to a DOS bootable diskette or other DOS bootable removable media. 2. Upon boot to DOS, run iflash.exe. Select System BIOS update and continue. 3. The iflash utility will invoke a file selection dialog to select a .BIO file for the upgrade. The only instance should be the BIOS image file downloaded in step 1. Select the .BIO file and hit to continue. 4. After the BIOS update successfully completes the utility will prompt to restart the system. 4.2.6 BIOS Update Instructions Using Express BIOS ® On the BIOS page for the Intel Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E, click on the Express BIOS Update utility. Either download the file to your hard drive or select “Run from Current Location”. (If you opt to “Run from Current Location”, skip step 3). Note: Make a note of the path the file is saved to on the hard drive. The user can save this utility onto a floppy disk. This is useful if the user is updating the BIOS for multiple identical systems. 1. Close all other applications. Note: This is a required step. Your system will be rebooted at the last Express BIOS Update window. 2. Double-click the executable file from the location on the hard drive where it was saved. This runs the update program. 3. Follow the instructions provided in the dialog boxes to complete the BIOS update. On some recent boards, after the system reboots, there will be no video and there will be a series of beeps for approximately 30 seconds. 4.2.7 Resetting CMOS After BIOS Update As the system reboots, watch the BIOS identifier to make sure the new BIOS version was properly installed. 1. During boot, press the [F2] key to enter the BIOS Setup Utility. 2. Return the CMOS settings to the factory defaults by pressing [F9], then press [ENTER] to load setup defaults. Note: If the user saved the CMOS setting as custom defaults before the BIOS upgrade, go to the Exit menu and choose the “Load Custom Defaults“ option to return it to the previous custom settings. 3. Press [F10] to save the settings 45 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS 4. Then press [ENTER] to accept the changes 5. Go through each screen of options 6. Return the CMOS settings to the values previously recorded prior to upgrading the BIOS. 4.2.7.1 BIOS Recovery In the unlikely event that a FLASH upgrade is interrupted catastrophically, it is possible the BIOS will be left in an unusable state. Recovering from this condition requires the following steps (be sure a power supply and speaker have been attached to the board, and a floppy drive is connected as drive A): 1. Change Flash Recovery jumper to the recovery mode position. 2. Install the bootable upgrade diskette into drive A: 3. Reboot the system. 4. Because of the small amount of code available in the non-erasable boot block area, no video is available to direct the procedure. The procedure can be monitored by listening to the speaker and looking at the floppy drive LED. When the system beeps and the floppy drive LED is lit, the system is copying the recovery code into the FLASH device. As soon as the drive LED goes off, the recovery is complete. 5. Turn the system off. 6. Change the Flash Recovery jumper back to the default position. 7. Remove the upgrade floppy in drive A: and turn the system on. Note: If the error message “CMOS/GPNV Checksum Bad Press F2 to Run SETUP“ appears during boot, then press [F2] to go into the “BIOS Setup Utility“, press [F9] to load setup defaults, and then press [F10] to save and exit. 46 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS System BIOS 4.3 Operating System Boot, Sleep, and Wake 4.3.1 Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) An ACPI-aware operating system generates an SMI to request that the system be switched into ACPI mode. The BIOS responds to enable ACPI mode. The system automatically returns to Legacy mode upon hard reset or power-on reset. ® The Intel Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E supports S0, S1, S4, and S5 states. When the system is operating in ACPI mode, the OS retains control of the system and OS policy determines the entry methods and wake up sources for each sleep state Note: Sleep entry and wake up event capabilities are provided by the hardware but are enabled by the operating system. S0 Sleep State The S0 sleep state is when everything is on. This is the state that no sleep is enabled. The S1 sleep state is a low wake-up latency sleep state. In this state, no S1 Sleep State system context is lost (Processor or chipset). The system context is maintained by the hardware. S4 Sleep State The S4 Non-Volatile Sleep state (NVS) is a special global system state that allows system context to be saved and restored (relatively slowly) when power is lost to the baseboard. If the system has been commanded to enter the S4 sleep state, the operating system will write the system context to a non-volatile storage file and leave appropriate context markers. S5 Sleep State The S5 sleep state is similar to the S4 sleep state except the operating system does not save any context nor enable any devices to wake the system. The system is in the “soft” off state and requires a complete boot when awakened. 4.3.1.1 Power Switch Off to On The power button input (J1J1 pin 11and 13) provides FP_PWR_BTN_N signal to the mBMC (PC87431M). mBMC will output a MBMC_PWR_BTN_N signal to ICH7. If the PWRBTN# signal of Intel® ICH7R is asserted, the assertion causes a wake event. Then, the SLP_S3 signal of Intel® ICH7R will be not asserted. The SLP_S3 signal will be passed to the PS_ON# signal of ATX power supply through an inverter, and then transition to an ON state. 4.3.1.2 On to Off (Legacy) The ICH7 is configured to generate an SMI due to a power button event. The BIOS services this SMI and sets the state of the machine in the ICH7 and Super I/O* to the OFF state. 47 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS 4.3.1.3 System Sleep States The baseboard is capable of wake up from several sources under a non-ACPI configuration, such as when the operating system does not support ACPI. The wake up sources are defined in the following table. Table 41. Supported Wake Events Wake Event Supported via ACPI Supported Via Legacy Wake (by sleep state) Power Button Always wakes system Always wakes system PME from PCI 32/33 S1, S4 S5 PME from primary PCI 64/66 S1, S4 S5 RTC Alarm S1, S4 No Mouse S1 No Keyboard S1 No USB S1 No Under ACPI, the operating system programs the Intel® ICH7R and Super I/O to wake up on the desired event, but in Legacy mode, the BIOS enables/disables wake up sources based on an option in BIOS Setup. The operating system or a driver must clear any pending wake up status bits in the associated hardware (such as the Wake on LAN status bit in the LAN application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), or PCI Power Management Event (PME) status bit in a PCI device. The Legacy wake up feature is disabled by default. 48 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E Platform Management Architecture 5. Platform Management Architecture 5.1 Reset Button The reset button will generate a hard reset to the system. 5.2 Diagnostic Interrupt Button (Control Panel NMI) The NMI button will force an NMI to the processors. 49 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Error Reporting and Handling 6. Error Reporting and Handling 6.1.1 BIOS Generated POST Error Beep Codes The following table lists POST error beep codes. Prior to system video initialization, the BIOS uses these beep codes to communicate error conditions. Table 42.

Progress codes are 32-bit quantities plus optional data. The 32 bit numbers include Class, subclass, and Operation information. Class and subclass point to the type of the hardware that is being initialized, where as the Operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based upon the data bit availability to display Progress Code, a progress code can be customized to fit the data width. The higher the data bit, higher the granularity of information, which could send on the progress port. The progress codes may be reported by system BIOS or option ROMs. 50 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS The following information can be captured by the BIOS Event Log for later reference: Processor Thermal Trip, Multi Bit ECC Error ChA, Single Bit ECC Error ChA, Cmos Battery Failure, Cmos Checksum Error, Cmos Timer Not Set, Keyboard Not Found, Memory Size Decrease, Intruder Detection, Spd Tolerant, Mem Opti Dual, Mem Opti Single, Multi Bit ECC Error ChB, Single Bit ECC Error ChB, Perr Error, Serr Error, The Response section in the following table is divided in three different types: Warning – The message is displayed on screen and the error is logged in the SEL. The System will continue booting with the degraded state. The User may want to replace the erroneous unit. Pause – The message is displayed on the screen and the user input is required to continue. The user can take immediate corrective action or can choose to continue booting. Halt – The system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the faulty part and restart the system. Table 44.

The following table describes the main checkpoints where the DIM module is accessed: Table 48. DIM Code Checkpoints Checkpoint Description 2A Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Reset, Detect, and Disable (function 0); Static Device Initialization (function 1); Boot Output Device Initialization (function 2). Function 0 disables all device nodes, PCI devices, and PnP ISA cards. It also assigns PCI bus numbers. Function 1 initializes all static devices that include manual configured onboard peripherals, memory and I/O decode windows in PCI-PCI bridges, and noncompliant PCI devices. Static resources are also reserved. Function 2 searches for and initializes any PnP, PCI, or AGP video devices. 38 Initialize different buses and perform the following functions: Boot Input Device Initialization (function 3); IPL Device Initialization (function 4); General Device Initialization (function 5). Function 3 searches for and configures PCI input devices and detects if the system has standard keyboard controller. Function 4 searches for and configures all PnP and PCI boot devices. Function 5 configures all onboard peripherals that are set to an automatic configuration and configures all remaining PnP and PCI devices. 6.1.7 ACPI Runtime Checkpoints ACPI checkpoints are displayed when an ACPI capable operating system either enters or leaves a sleep state. The following table describes the type of checkpoints that may occur during ACPI sleep or wake events Table 49. ACPI Runtime Checkpoints Checkpoint Description AC First ASL check point. Indicates the system is running in ACPI mode. AA System is running in APIC mode. 01, 02, 03, 04, 05 Entering sleep state S1, S2, S3, S4, or S5. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 Waking from sleep state S1, S2, S3, S4, or S5. 6.2 Diagnostic LEDs All port 80 codes are displayed using the Diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the baseboard. The diagnostic LED feature consists of a hardware decoder and four dual color LEDs. During POST, the LEDs will display all normal POST codes representing the progress of the BIOS POST. Each code will be represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The LEDs are capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble, and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble is represented by a red LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green LED. If 57 Revision 1.4 Intel® Entry Server Board SE7230NH1-E TPS Error Reporting and Handling both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then both red and green LEDs are lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear, then the LED is off. In the below example, BIOS sends a value of ACh to the Diagnostic LED decoder. The LEDs are decoded as follows: ƒ Red bits = 1010b = Ah ƒ Green bits = 1100b = Ch Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the lower nibble, the two are concatenated to be ACh.

The output voltages must rise from 10% to within regulation limits (Tvout_rise) within 5 to 70ms, except for 5VSB - it is allowed to rise from 1.0 to 70ms. The +3.3V, +5V and +12V output voltages should start to rise approximately at the same time. All outputs must rise monotonically. The +5V output needs to be greater than the +3.3V output during any point of the voltage rise. The +5V output must never be greater than the +3.3V output by more than 2.25V. Each output voltage shall reach regulation within 50ms (Tvout_on) of each other during turn on of the power supply. Each output voltage shall fall out of regulation within 400msec (Tvout_off) of each other during turn off.
