Intel® Server System R2000GZ/GL Product Family TPS Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips This section provides a list of useful information that is unique to the Intel® Server System R2000GZ/GL 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 S2600G4Z / S2600GL 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 H3 are only supported when CPU-2 is installed. • PCI Riser Slot-2 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 embedded platform management system may not operate as expected if the platform is not updated with accurate system configuration data. The FRUSDR utility must be run with the system fully configured and each time the system configuration changes for accurate system monitoring and event reporting. • 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 http://downloadcenter.intel.com. Revision 2.0 67
