Server Board Features If RAID 5 is needed, you must install the optional Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 accessory. This activation key is placed on the SATA_ RAID_5_Key connector located on the left side of the server board. For installation instructions, see the documentation included with the activation key. When Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II is enabled with the embedded SATA controller, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO connector on the server board when a cable is attached between this connector and the backplane or I2C interface. / NOTE For help with navigating the BIOS Setup utility, see the Intel® Server Board S5520HC/S5500HCV Technical Product Specification. For information on how to configure RAID, refer to the RAID software user's guide at: http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/S5520HC/howto.htm For help with enclosure management cabling, refer to the Enclosure Management Cabling Guide for Pedestal Systems with hot-swap Drive Backplanes. This guide is available at: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/S5520HC/compat.htm Hardware Requirements To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the following requirements outlined. For a list of qualified components, see the links under "Additional Information and Software". Processor One or two Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 series or Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 series For a list of supported processors, see the links under "Additional Information and Software". You must populate processors in sequential order. Therefore, you must populate Processor Socket 1 (CPU 1) before processor socket 2 (CPU 2). For optimum performance, when two processors are installed, both must be the identical revision and have the same core voltage and Intel® QPI/Core speed.
