  Run SDR utility after changing items
    Whenever you add, remove, or change any of these items, you should run the utility to update the SDR files: Fans, Blowers, EDO memory module, SDRAM memory module, RPX module, SCSI hot swap backplane, Power share board, Power supply
  Setting Up RPX Module, AMI RAID and Windows NT*
    To complete setup, either boot from the AMI Mega RAID Configuration CD-ROM, or prepare a DOS bootable floppy with DRAMFL.IMG, RPFLASH.EXE, the RPX module image, and the AMI RAID driver.
    In the BIOS Setup Utility, set:
    - Advanced Menu \ Use Multiprocessor Specification from 1.1 to 1.4 (for dual processors only)
    - Advanced Menu \ I/O Processors \ Enable
    - Boot \ Boot device priority \ CD-ROM before Hard Drive
    - Press [F10] to Save & Exit
    Ensure the battery pack is connected to the RPX module, and memory is installed
    Boot to the AMI Mega RAID Configuration CD-ROM and select 'Flash Firmware into NVRAM', or boot to the DOS floppy created above and run RPFLASH.EXE. Select 'Update Flash memory area from a file'. [Note: Use the latest image file from support.intel.com, not the file from CD-ROM # 685994-001 or older] The RPX flash will typically be updated in about three minutes. Exit from the update utility and reboot
    To configure and initialize the Drive Array, press [Ctrl][M] during boot to enter the AMI Mega RAID configuration utility.
    Main Menu \Objects \Battery Backup | Select 'No. of cycles', and press Enter to reset the cycles
    Main Menu \Configure \Easy Configuration | Scans for all drives. Press Space to make the drives online, and Enter to accept the RAID Configuration and save.
    Main Menu \Initialize | Press Space to select the logical drive or drives. Press F10 to initialize
    Press Esc when finished
    To install Microsoft Windows* NT* 4.0, install from the Windows NT 4.0 Setup Floppy Disks and [Specify] additional mass storage devices. Load the "Mega RAID Windows NT 960RX Driver ". When complete, run SETUP.EXE from the RPX CD to install the AMI Mega RAID Power Console Software.

  Tested Hardware and Operating Systems
    Supported Hardware and Operating Systems [PDF]
  Tested Memory
    The Intel® MB440LX Server Platform supports an EDO memory module with 8 DIMM sockets, or an SDRAM memory module with 4 DIMM sockets. Maximum 1 GB EDO DRAM (with 333MHz processor), or 512 MB SDRAM. Supports DIMM sizes 32, 64, and 128 MB. The RPX module has 2 SIMM sockets, both of which must be populated with 60ns, 72-pin
    Tested Memory List [PDF]
    The video memory can be upgraded from 512 KB to 1 MB, with Micron MT4C16257DJ-6TR, Micron MT4C16257DJ-6TR D-40, or Samsung KM416C256BJ-6T.
  Tested Processors
    Intel® Pentium® II processors at 233 MHz, 266 MHz, and 300 MHz. Although the 233 MHz processor is validated on the MB440LX, Intel does not offer a platform configuration at this speed. The Intel® Pentium® II processor 333 MHz can be used with BIOS 5 or later.
    The factory default processor speed is 133 MHz. To configure the platform for a faster processor: install the Pentium II processor and change the processor speed jumper from 1-2 to 2-3. Then, use the BIOS Setup option to select the faster processor speed, save and exit the utility. Return the processor speed jumper to 1-2 and reboot.
    A terminator card is required for single-processor systems
