System Introduction
Overview
Altos G530 is a tower system with 2-way processing capability. This system is able to scale up to dual Intel Xeon 800MHz FSB. It supports four DIMM slots up to 8GB memory capacity, one x8 PCI-Express (w/ x4 throughput), two PCI-X and two PCI expansion slots. It dufault comes with integrated SATA RAID controller, 1ch SCSI controller, two onboard Gigabit Ethernet, and VGA with 8MB cache. Add-on SCSI/SATA/RAID controller will be optional device for system upgrade. Altos G530 system will support Intels latest Xeon processor, Irwindale, with 2MB L2 cache and current Xeon processor (Nocona with 1MB L2 cache). Xeon processor supporting Intel Hyper-Threading (HT) technology, Intel Extended Memory technology (EM64T), Demand-Based Switching with Enhanced Intel SpeedStep Technology (DBS w/EIST) and Execution Disable Bit (XD) provides enhanced performance, power management and security. DDR II 400 or higher frequencies memory (ECC registered) provides at least 20% memory bandwidth and at least 40% lower power consumption over DDR 333 (ECC Registered). Integrated SATA RAID controller will support RAID 0, 1 for data protection; PCI Express technology makes an enhancement for data throughput as least four times than traditional PCI bus.

System Utilities
Most system are already configured by the manufacturer or the dealer. There is no need to run Setup when starting the compurter unless you get a Run Setup message. The Setup program loads configuration values into the battery-backed nonvolatile memory called COMS RAM. This memory area is not part of the system RAM. NOTE: If you repeatedly receive Run Setup messages, the battery may be bad. In this case, the system cannot retain configuration values in CMOS. Ask a qualified technician for assistance. Before you run Setup, make sure that you have saved all open files. The system reboots immediately after you exit Setup. As you change your BIOS Setup, examine the system configuration values. When you are satisfied that all the values are correct, write them down. Store the recorded values in a safe place. In the future, if the battery loses power or the CMOS chip is damaged, you can easily recreate your Setup.

Although DIMMs within a bank must be identical, the BIOS supports various DIMM sizes and configurations allowing the banks of memory to be different. WARNING:For the system to function, DIMM modules must be installed or removed in matched pairs, following the socket sequence: DIMM 1B and 1A first, then DIMM 2B and 2A. DIMM modules of the same type, banking, stacking technology, and manufacturer must be installed in the Altos G530 system. The table below lists the supported memory installation based on the memory interleave configuration:

Bank 1 DIMM 1B 512MB 1GB 2GB 512MB 1GB 2GB 512MB 1GB 2GB 512MB 1GB 2GB 512MB 1GB 2GB 512MB 1GB 2GB DIMM 1A DIMM 2B

Memory Sparing Configuration

Altos G530 supports memory sparing function. To provide a more fault tolerant system, Altos G530 includes special hardware to support fail-over to a spare DIMM device in the event that a primary DIMM in use exceeds a specified threshold of runtime errors. One of the DIMMs installed per channel will not be used, but kept in reserve. In the event of significant failures in a particular DIMM, it and its corresponding partner in the other channel (if applicable), will, over time, have its data copied over to the spare DIMM held in reserve. When all the data has been copied, the reserved DIMM will be put into service and the failed DIMM will be removed from service. Only one sparing cycle issupported. If the memory sparing feature is not enabled, then all DIMMs will be visible in normal address space. Below table lists the suggested memory population for memory sparing:

Bank 1 DIMM 1B 512 MB 1GB 2GB 512 MB 1GB 2GB 512 MB 1GB 2GB DIMM 1A DIMM 2B 512 MB (spare) 1GB (spare) 2GB (spare) 512 MB (spare) 1GB (spare) 2GB (spare)

BIOS Beep Definitions

The following table describes Altos G530 error beep definitions.

Beep Code 1, 2, or 3

Error Description Make sure the memory module are properly steaded on the DIMM slots. Make sure the memory modules comply with the system requirements. Make sure the memory modules have been populated according to the system requirement.

4-7, 9-11

Indicates a fatal error. Consult your system manufacturer. If beep codes are generated even when all PCI cards are absent, consult your system manufacturer technicals support. Check for a malfunctioning add-on card. If beep codes are not generated when all PCI cards are absent, one of the add-on card is causing the mulfunction. Insert the card back into the system one at a time until the problem happens again.

Make sure the video adapter is properly steaded on the expansion slot. If the video adapter is in integrated part of the mainboard, the board may be faulty.

Power-On Self-Test (POST) Error Messages

The Power-On Self-Test (POST) is a BIOS procedure that boots the system, initializes and diagnoses the system components, and controls the operation of the power-on password option. If there is any error during the POST routine, BIOS detects it and shows the corresponding error message on the CRT screen to guide the technical service engineer on the repair procedure . POST Error Messages
