This feature is designed primarily for server supervisors and management information system (MIS) personnel to help them detect errors or potential trouble spots in their network servers through a single management station. ASM Pro consists of two major parts: · · ASM-Station - a Windows-based monitoring station that communicates with the ASM-Agents. ASM-Agent(s) - the individual servers managed by the ASM-Station. Refer to the ASM Pro user's manual for more information. 1-14 Altos 9100B System Guide Remote Diagnostic Management Remote Diagnostic Management (RDM) is a network management tool that utilizes modems and telephone lines to control a host of servers from a remote station. It monitors and analyzes the server condition, updates the BIOS settings if necessary, or reboots the server in the event of failure and quickly returns it to normal operation. This capability to execute the RDM program from a remote site bridges the distance barrier in fixing server problems and reduces wasted time due to system failure. Installing an RDM Module The system board comes with connectors CN6 and CN7 to accommodate the RDM module. Follow these steps to install the RDM module and connect the cable: 1. See the Jumpers and Connectors section for the location of the RDM connectors. Do not force it into to the connectors. CN7 CN6 Refer to the RDM User's Guide for detailed instructions on RDM installation. BIOS Utility 1-15 Error Messages Do not continue using the computer if you receive an error message of any type.

There are two general types of error messages: · · Software System Software Error Messages Software error messages are returned by your operating system or application. This might cause your system to malfunction. The sockets support SDRAM DIMMs for a total of 1024-MB (unbuffered) system memory using 128-MB DIMMs. Memory Configurations Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 Total Memory 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 128 MB 128 MB 128 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 64 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 32 MB 64 MB 96 MB 128 MB 64 MB 128 MB 192 MB 256 MB 128 MB 256 MB 2-4 Altos 9100B System Guide Bank 1 Bank 2 Bank 3 Bank 4 Total Memory 128 MB 128 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 128 MB 128 MB 128 MB 128 MB 128 MB 384 MB 512 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 256 MB 512 MB 768 MB 1024 MB The above configurations are only some of the available memory combinations. When upgrading memory, simply install DIMMs into any of the empty sockets. Installing a DIMM To install a DIMM, align it with the socket and press it down until the holding clips secure the DIMM in place. The DIMM socket is slotted to ensure proper installation. If you slip in a DIMM but it does not completely fit, you may have inserted it the wrong way. Reverse the orientation of the DIMM. CPU Board 2-5 Removing a DIMM To remove a DIMM, press the holding clips on both sides of the socket outward to release the DIMM. Place your forefingers on the top of the DIMM before you press the holding clips to gently disengage the DIMM from the socket. 2-6 Altos 9100B System Guide Reconfiguring the System You must enter Setup after installing or removing DIMMs to reconfigure the system. A memory error message appears, indicating that the total memory does not match the value stored in CMOS. A warning message appears indicating an incorrect memory configuration. Press twice to exit and reboot the system. 2. 3. The system boots with the new memory configuration. CPU Board 2-7 Installing a Pentium II Processor You must install the heatsink and fan before you install the processor module into the socket on the CPU board. The Pentium II processor module comes with holes on one side to hold the clips of the heatsink and fan. The upper set of holes (near the latches) on the processor are wider and should match the wider ends of the clips on the heatsink. The lower set of holes are smaller and should match the narrow ends of the heatsink clips. Wide Clip Ends Wide Holes Narrow Holes Installing the Processor Heatsink and Fan Follow these steps when installing the heatsink and fan into the Pentium II processor module: 2-8 Altos 9100B System Guide 1. Remove the thermal tape protector at the back of the heatsink. 2. Insert the wide clip ends into the wide holes on the processor and the narrow clip ends into the narrow holes. CPU Board 2-9 3. Use a screwdriver to press and lock in the wide end of a clip first. Then without lifting the screwdriver, point it downward to press and lock the narrow end of the clip. 4. Repeat step 3 to lock the other clip. 2-10 Altos 9100B System Guide Installing the Processor Module Follow these steps to install the Pentium II processor module into the socket on the CPU board. Place the retention mechanism over the processor socket on the CPU board. [. . . ] The next time you want to enter the BIOS utility, you must key-in your Setup password.
