Table 4. LCD Configuration and Operational Tasks

Menu Selection Description

Power On/Off Powers the NT appliance on and off. This mode performs a hard (immediate) power-off. It is not an orderly shutdown.

NIC Setup Allows you to configure network ports:• Select DHCP to assign an IP address, subnet

mask, and default gateway

or

• Configure a static IP address and subnet mask for each network port.

Default Gateway Sets the default gateway address.You do not need to configure a default gateway if you select DHCP for IP addressing – DHCP automatically configures it.

Auto Focus If selected, when you power on Viper NT, the system turns on the device and gives it focus. An NT appliance has focus when the video monitor, mouse, and keyboard connections are enabled through its CMBus.This menu selection applies only to Viper NT. It does not apply to Roadster NT.

Default Power Sets the start-up mode:

• If set to On (hard start), when the appliance is powered on using the switch on the rear panel (AC power), the operating system boots.

• If set to Off (soft start), when the appliance is powered on using the switch on the rear panel, it enters idle mode (LCD panel displays On). Press the Right-Select button to power up the appliance and boot the operating system (default mode).


Overview1

Clean Shutdown Shuts down all processes and the operating system in an orderly fashion.

Clean Reboot Shuts down all processes and the operating system, and then reboots the NT appliance.

Boot Redirect When enabled, the NT appliance boots from a Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) server the next time it boots. You can use this feature to install a new operating system image or fix a corrupted operating system.

Reset Performs a hard reset. The NT appliance reboots the operating system without shutting down the processes.

Show Unique ID Displays the NT appliance unique address (serial number and vendor ID) in hexadecimal format.

Show MAC Address Displays the MAC addresses of the two Ethernet ports on the NT appliance.

CAUTION!

The following menu items are for information only. Do not make any changes to these menu items unless directed to do so by Technical Support.

Show CMB Addr Displays the CMBus address. In a new cluster installation, the first NT appliance powered on acquires a CMBus address of 2 by default. As each additional appliance in the cluster is powered on, it seeks its own unique CMBus address by polling the other appliances connected to the CMBus. It is important that appliances are powered on and complete their booting sequence, one at a time, to avoid potential address conflicts.Once an appliance initially determines its CMBus address, its identification number (CMBus ID) is stored in the EEPROM of its maintenance processor. Then, you can safely power the appliance on or off in any sequence without the possibility of address conflicts.

Clear Temp LED Clears the temperature LED (used for testing). It does not clear the alarm condition.

Table 8 shows the AC current, real power, heat load, and number of branch circuits required for different numbers of Viper NT appliances. Actual numbers may vary depending on options and operating conditions, but these numbers represent fully-loaded systems running test software.

The rationale for the numbers is that a typical server draws approximately 1.14 Amperes from a nominal 120 Volt, 60 Hz line. A branch circuit with a 20-ampere breaker can be loaded with 15 amperes rated load. No limit is assumed on the amount of current that can be supplied to a single rack of servers; multiple independently protected branch circuits may be used when the capacity of a single branch circuit is not enough.

For units powered from 240 Volt AC mains, current will be half of the 120 Volt value shown.
