10 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Processor
The Intel?? Server Board SE7501CW2 accommodates one or two Intel Xeon processors with 512KB
L2 Cache via two SKT604 604-pin zero-insertion force (ZIF) sockets. The processors interface
with the system bus at 533 MHz, backwards compatible with 400 MHz. When only one processor
is installed, it should be in the socket labeled CPU1.
For a complete list of supported processors, see:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2
Dual Processor Operation
The Intel Xeon interface is dual processor (DP) ready. Each processor contains a local
Intel?? Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (APIC) section for interrupt handling. When
two processors are installed, both processors must be of identical revision, core voltage, and
bus/core speeds.
Boxed Processor Fan Heat Sink
A processor wind tunnel is supplied with the boxed Intel Xeon processor. After the processor and
heat sink are installed, install and connect the processor wind tunnel. For proper processor cooling,
the fan inlet air temperature should be below 45 °C.
✏ NOTE
Heat sink styles vary. If your heat sink has a flat end, the flat surface must be
installed so that it faces the rear of the chassis. See the installation instructions
in Chapter 3.
CAUTION
Clearance is required at each end of the fan heat sink to ensure unimpeded
airflow for proper cooling. Restricting the airflow through the processor heat
sink can cause overheating and subsequent failure of the processor.
Description 11
Intel?? E7501 Chipset
The Server Board SE7501CW2 includes the Intel E7501 chipset (MCH, ICH3-S, P64H2), which
provides an integrated I/O bridge and memory controller, and a flexible I/O subsystem core (PCI).
MCH
The E7501 MCH North Bridge in the E7501 chipset integrates three main functions:
• An integrated high-performance main memory subsystem
• An HI 2.0 bus interface that provides a high-performance data flow path between the host bus
and the I/O subsystem
• A HI 1.5 bus that provides an interface to the ICH3-S (South Bridge)
Other features provided by the MCH include the following:
• Full support of ECC on the memory bus
• Full support of Intel?? x4 Single Device Data Correction on the memory interface with x4
DIMMs
• Twelve deep in-order queue
• Full support of registered DDR200 or DDR266 ECC DIMMs2
• Support for up to 8 GB of DDR memory
• Memory scrubbing
ICH3-S I/O Controller Hub
The primary role of the ICH3-S is to provide the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and
features. The Server Board SE7501CW2 uses the following ICH3-S features:
• 32-bit/33 MHz PCI bus interface
• Low Pin Count (LPC) bus interface
• IDE interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability
• Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface
• PC-compatible timer/counter and DMA controllers
• APIC and 8259 interrupt controller
• Power management
• System real-time clock (RTC)
• General purpose I/O
2 DDR200 compliant ECC DIMMs can be used only if 400 MHz processors are installed.
12 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Super I/O
The Server Board SE7501CW2 uses the Winbond W83627HF Super I/O Plug and Play Compatible
with ACPI-Compliant Controller/Extender. This device provides the system with the following:
• Two serial ports
• One parallel port
• Floppy disk controller
• PS/2-compatible keyboard and mouse controller
• Two ATA 100 IDE channels
• Hardware monitor controller
The Server Board SE7501CW2 provides the connector interface for the floppy disk drive, dual
serial ports, parallel port, PS/2 mouse, and PS/2 keyboard.
Serial Ports
The Server Board SE7501CW2 provides one DB9 connector on the back panel for serial port A.
Serial port A is compatible with 16550A and 16450 modes. The port can be set to one of four
different COM ports, and each can be enabled separately. When enabled, each port can be
programmed to generate edge- or level-sensitive interrupts. When disabled, serial port interrupts
are available to add-in cards.
A DH10 10-pin serial header is available on the baseboard for an optional serial port B.
Parallel Port
The Server Board SE7501CW2 provides a 25-pin parallel port back panel connector. The Super
I/O provides an IEEE 1284–compliant 25-pin bidirectional parallel port. BIOS programming of the
Super I/O registers enables the parallel port and determines the port address and interrupt. When
disabled, the interrupt is available to add-in cards.
Floppy Disk Connector
The floppy disk connector on the server board provides the interface to the floppy disk drive from
the floppy disk controller.
Keyboard and Mouse Connectors
The separate keyboard and mouse connectors, found on the back panel of the server board, are
PS/2-compatible. The keyboard and mouse connectors are interchangeable.
Description 13
Memory
The Server Board SE7501CW2 contains four 184-pin DIMM sockets and provides up to 8 GB of
memory. Memory is partitioned as two banks of DDR DIMMs, each of which provides 144 bits of
two-way interleaved memory.
The Server Board SE7501CW2 supports up to four ECC DDR DIMMs that are compliant with the
JEDEC DDR200 / 266 specification. A range of DIMM sizes is supported, including the
following:
• 128 MB
• 256 MB
• 512 MB
• 1 GB
• 2 GB
The minimum supported memory configuration is 128 MB with a single 128 MB DIMM in the
Bank 1, DIMM 1A socket. When two DIMMS are used, the minimum memory configuration is
256 MB, with Bank 1 fully populated by two 128 MB DIMMs. For a list of supported memory, see
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/
For maximum performance and data protection, each bank should be fully populated with two
DIMMs. For cost conscious designs, the system can be operated when Bank 1 contains a single
DIMM. When a single DIMM is used, it must be in the DIMM 1A socket. If only a single DIMM
is populated in Bank 1, then interleaving and Intel?? x4 Single Device Data Correction are
unavailable.
Bank 2 can only operate with two DIMMs installed. Before Bank 2 can be used, Bank 1 must be
fully populated (DIMMs installed in both Bank 1 sockets).
DIMMs must be installed in pairs and must be populated starting with DIMM 1A and 1B (see
Figure 11 on page 56 for the locations of the DIMM connectors). Although the Server Board
SE7501CW2 architecture allows the user to mix various sizes of DIMMs between banks, DIMMs
must be identical within the banks.

The Advance Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)–aware operating system can place the
system into a state where the hard drives spin-down, the system fans stop, and all processing is
halted. In this state the power supply is still on and the processors still dissipate some power, so the
power supply fan and processor fans are still running.
✏ NOTE
ACPI requires an operating system that supports this feature.
The Server Board SE7501CW2 supports sleep states S0, S4, and S5. When the server board is
operating in ACPI mode, the operating system retains control of the system and the operating
system policy determines the entry methods and wake-up sources for each sleep state. Sleep entry
and wake-up event capabilities are provided by the hardware but are enabled by the operating
system. Following is a summary of the supported sleep states:
• S0: Normal running state.
• S4: Hibernate or Save to Disk. The memory and machine state are saved to disk. Pressing the
power button or another wake-up event restores the system state from the disk and resumes
normal operation. This state assumes that no hardware changes were made to the system while
it was off.
• S5: Soft off. Only the RTC section of the chipset is running in this state.
CAUTION
The system is off only when the AC power is disconnected.
18 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
AC Link Mode
The AC link mode allows the system to monitor its AC input power so that if AC input power is
lost and then restored, the system returns to one of the following preselected settings:
• Last State (Factory Default Setting)
• Stay Off
The AC link mode settings can be changed by running the BIOS Setup Utility.
Wakeup Events
The SE7501CW2 system supports the following wakeup events.
Wake on LAN
Wake on LAN allows system power to be activated through the network. If the system is in the S4
state, it can be turned on remotely by sending a specific packet to the remote system. The system
contains a configuration option that allows the on-board NICs to be enabled to wake the system
from a S4 or S5 sleep state, even if the operating system disabled.
Wake on Ring
Wake on Ring allows system power to be activated through the serial ports when this option is
enabled in Setup. If the system is in the S4 state, it can be turned on remotely by the Ring Indicate
RI signals from the serial ports.
Security
The Server Board SE7501CW2 BIOS provides the ability to secure itself. Table 4 summarizes the
security options available in the BIOS.

Description 19
Password Protection
The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the system. Once secure mode
is entered, access to the system is allowed only after the correct password(s) has been entered.
Both user and supervisor passwords are supported by the BIOS. The user password cannot be set
unless a supervisor password has been set.
When set, a password can be cleared by changing it to a null string. Clearing the supervisor
password also clears the user password. Entering the user password permits modification of the
time, date, language, user password, and password on boot setup fields; other setup fields can be
modified only if the supervisor password is entered. The user password also allows the system to
boot, if secure boot is enabled.
If a wrong password is entered three times in a row, the BIOS stops validating passwords and the
BIOS security engine returns a failure for any further password validation attempt. If the user
enters three wrong passwords in a row during the boot sequence (i.e., when entering Setup), the
system is placed into a halt state. This feature makes is difficult to break the password by the “trial
and error” method.
Using Passwords
If only the supervisor password is set, you:
• Must enter the supervisor password to enter BIOS Setup.
• Must enter the supervisor password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the
BIOS Setup.
• Must enter the supervisor password to exit secure mode.
If both passwords are set, you:
• May enter the user password to enter BIOS Setup. However, you will not be able to change
many of the options.
• Must enter the supervisor password if you want to enter BIOS Setup and have access to all of
the options.
• May enter either password to boot the server if Password on Boot is enabled in the BIOS Setup.
• May enter either password to exit secure mode.
Password Clear Jumper
If the user or supervisor password(s) is (are) lost or forgotten, booting the system with the password
clear jumper into the “clear” position clears both passwords. The password clear jumper must be
restored to its original position before a new password(s) can be set. The password clear jumper is
located on jumper block J32 pins [1-2] on the Server Board SE7501CW2.

2 Configuration Software and Utilities
This chapter describes the Power-On Self-Test (POST) and server configuration utilities. Table 5
below briefly describes the utilities.
Table 5. Configuration Utilities
Utility Description and brief procedure Page
BIOS Setup If the system does not have a diskette drive or the drive is disabled or
misconfigured, use BIOS Setup to enable it.
Or, you can move the CMOS jumper on the server board from the default
setting (Protect CMOS memory) to the Clear setting; this position will allow
most server configurations to boot. Then use the recovery disk to recover.

BIOS Upgrade
Utility

Power-On Self-Test (POST)
Each time you turn on the system, the BIOS begins executing the Power-On Self-Test (POST),
which is stored in flash memory. POST discovers, configures, and tests the processors, memory,
keyboard, and most installed peripheral devices. During the memory test, POST displays the
amount of memory that it is able to access and test. The time needed to test memory depends on
the amount of memory installed.
1. Turn on your video monitor and server. After a few seconds POST begins to run.
2. After the memory test, these screen prompts and messages appear:
Press <F2> key if you want to run SETUP
3. If you do not press <F2> and do NOT have a device with an operating system loaded, the
above message remains for a few seconds while the boot process continues, and the system
beeps once. Then this message appears:
Operating system not found
4. Press <Esc> during POST to pop up a boot menu when POST finishes. From this menu you
can choose the boot device or enter BIOS Setup.
What appears on the screen after this depends on whether you have an operating system loaded and
if so, which one.
If the system halts before POST completes running, it emits a beep code indicating a fatal system
error that requires immediate attention. If POST can display a message on the video display screen,
it causes the speaker to beep twice as the message appears.
Note the screen display and write down the beep code you hear; this information is useful for your
service representative. For a listing of common beep codes and error messages that POST can
generate, see the “Solving Problems” chapter in this manual.
22 Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide
Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options. Use BIOS Setup to change the server
configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system being
present.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For
instructions on clearing the CMOS, see Clearing the CMOS on page 81.
Starting Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
• When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test
• When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the “Clear CMOS” position
(enabled)
In the two conditions listed above, after rebooting, you will see this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other prompts but not
the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
Setup Menus
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except those used for information
purposes, each feature is associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters.
Parameters may be changed depending upon the security option chosen. If a value is not
changeable due to insufficient security privileges (or other reasons), the feature’s value field
becomes inaccessible.
The bottom portion of the BIOS Setup screen provides a list of commands that are used for
navigating the Setup utility. Table 6 describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS
Setup menus.
