Intel® Server System R2000IP Product Family TPS
Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
Revision 1.0

Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
This section provides a list of useful information that is unique to the Intel
®
Server System
R2000IP Product Family and should be kept in mind while configuring your server system.
Only the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor E5-2600 product family is supported in this Intel server
system. Previous generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors are not supported.
For best system performance, follow memory population guidelines as specified in the
Intel
®
Server Board S2600IP Technical Product Specification
.
For best system performance, follow all thermal configuration guidelines as specified in
this document.
The CPU-1 processor + CPU heat sink must be installed first. The CPU-2 heat sink must
be installed at all times, with or without a processor installed
DIMM slots E1 thru H2 are only supported when CPU-2 is installed.
PCIe slot (4-7) is only functional when two CPUs are installed.
The Mini-SAS connector
labeled “SCU_
1 (4-
7)”
on the server board is only functional
when an appropriate Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Key is installed.
Many integrated on-board SAS and RAID options are available by installing any of
several available Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Keys.
The FRUSDR utility must be run after the hardware integration is complete in order to
load the proper Sensor Data Records for the server chassis onto the server board.
Make sure the latest system software is loaded on the server.
This includes System
BIOS, BMC Firmware, ME Firmware and FRUSDR. The latest system software can be
downloaded from the Intel web site.
