Interfaces & Connectors 4.13 Chassis Intrusion [Update]

Note: The intrusion supervision feature needs to be enabled in BIOS Setup first (Menu „Security“ „Cabinet Monitoring“). This BIOS option is only available if pin 3 („Intrusion Switch Present“) is connected to GND!

Note: Chassis intrusion is active even if the system is switched off (S5 state) or disconnected from mains power. The intrusion event is monitored by the chipset (PCH) and stored in the BIOS Eventlog during the next Boot. A timestamp (Boot date/time) will be added then. Note: This timestamp does not represent date/time of the intrusion event! If a Supervisor Password is enabled in BIOS Setup, the system will stop during BIOS POST if an intrusion event has been detected. In order to continue, the Supervisor Password must be entered to confirm the intrusion event.

The intrusion status can be easily monitored by using the BMCAPI (Windows): ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/Mainboard-OEM-Sales/Products/Mainboards/Industrial&ExtendedLifetime/D3128-B/Industri

10 Miscellaneous 10.1 System Watchdog (WD)

D3128-B provides full BIOS POST-, Operating System Boot-, and Operating System-Runtime watchdog supervision. Power On Init BIOS POST OS Boot OS running “BIOS POST Watchdog 1)” “BIOS Boot Watchdog 1)” “OS Watchdog” 1) 2)

POST-WD-timeout = 120sec. BOOT-WD-timeout OS-WD-timeout (max. 255 minutes) (fix defined by BMC firmware) (according to BIOS Setup) (according to specific WD software agent)

OS started. If the watchdog has been enabled by BIOS (timeout set to xy minutes in BIOS Setup) it must be switched off or retriggered (continuously) by a specific OS application (=WD software agent), otherwise the system will be reset after xy minutes (= BOOT- WD-timeout) respectively after nn minutes (repetitive OS-WD-timeout).

If the watchdog is enabled in BIOS Setup (timeout set to xy minutes) and the system hangs during OS boot, the system will be reset after xy minutes.

BIOS checks at the end of POST if the watchdog must be switched off (timeout set to 0 in BIOS Setup) or retriggered according to the timeout setting in BIOS Setup (1 - 255 minutes)

BMC initializes watchdog (fixed timeout = 2 minutes; no user setting possible). If the operator runs BIOS Setup the watchdog is set on hold. Additional PCI/PCEe extensions cards that provide an Option ROM may cause a system reset due to BIOS POST watchdog timeout, if the user activates any menu within the Option ROM for more than 2 minutes!

1) Note: All three watchdogs are physical identical, but they are handled from different application levels 2) As the SystemGuard tool offers access to the watchdog it can be used as “WD software agent” to retrigger the watchdog during OS runtime

System Watchdog (WD)

How to handle the different watchdog levels

BIOS POST Watchdog

o No user interaction possible – POST Watchdog is always enabled!

BIOS Boot Watchdog

o Set Watchdog in BIOS Setup

0 = WD disabled 1 – 255 = WD enabled (timeout = 1 – 255 minutes)

System Watchdog (WD)

OS Watchdog

o Use “WD software agent” to stop or retrigger the watchdog during OS runtime Note: This “agent” needs to be provided by the customer, dependent on his needs. For easy access to the watchdog functions, the Windows API (BMCAPI) or the related Linux driver (lm-sensors) can be used: ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/Mainboard-OEM-Sales/Products/Mainboards/Industrial&ExtendedLifetime/D3071-S_D3076-S/IndustrialTools_D307x-S/

o For easy testing, the SystemGuard tool provides access to the OS Watchdog. After enabling the Watchdog, SystemGuard retriggers the WD continuously. In case the system freezes, SystemGuard does no longer provide the retrigger signal and the watchdog resets the system after the timeout. Note: When SystemGuard is closed, the WD is stopped in order to avoid a unwanted system reset!

Menu “Special”: --> Enable WD --> Set timeout to 1 – 8 minutes

10.2 SATA / SAS - Ports

SATA-600 Port 0/1 (for optical drives) Socket for SAS Upgrade ROM #1

Port 3 Port 2 Basic unit: SATA-300 Port 0…3 (StorageControllerUnit Ports) SAS Upgrade ROM installed: Ports useable as SATA-300 or SAS Gen2

Port 1 Port 0 Note: - Make sure to use the latest Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers for all ports ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/Mainboard-OEM-Sales/Products/Mainboards/Industrial&ExtendedLifetime/D3128-B/Drivers_D3128/

- FTS recommends to use the two SATA-600 connectors for optical drives only, and the 4 SATA-300 / SAS ports for harddisk drives

10.3 Trusted Platform Module (TPM)

TPM V1.2 controller: Infineon SLB 9635 TT1.2 TPM Infineon

TPM Jumper Note: - TPM Jumper must be installed in order to enable the TPM hardware (installed = default) - TPM must be enabled in BIOS Setup before its features can be used - For applications / customers that do not what to use TPM, the full functionality can be disabled and hidden in BIOS Setup by the OEMIDENT tool. See OEMIDENT readme for details. Once TPM has been disabled by OEMIDENT, it cannot be re-enabled again (only possible by factory RMA)!

BIOS Update / BIOS Recovery

Windows-based BIOS update (Deskflash tool)

Required BIOS file:

o D3128-Bxx.R1.x.y.DFI.exe (Windows executable flash tool) Copy file from FTP (link see above), rename filename.$xe to filename.exe and copy to target system (e.g. Windows desktop). Doubleclick to start BIOS update and follow instructions on the screen.

DOS-based BIOS Recovery (DOS-bootable USB stick)

Required BIOS files:

o EfiFlash.exe (DOS flash tool) o DosFlash.bat (batch file) o D3128-Bx.upd (flash file) o D3128-Bx.rom / D3128-B1.xyz resp. D3128-B2.xyz --> Important: These files must be located in the root directory of the USB stick!

Set onboard jumper to Recovery Mode Copy unzipped files to a DOS-bootable USB stick, boot system from stick and run DosFlash.bat Follow instructions on the screen and set jumper to default position Note: BIOS Recovery should only be used to repair a corrupted BIOS. All customized data except for OEM SLP data will be reset.
