With power applied to the server, standby voltages are still present even though the server board is powered off.  This server board supports the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 v3 product family with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 145 Watts. Previous generations of the Intel® Xeon® processors are not supported. Server systems using this server board may or may not meet the TDP design limits of the server board.

Server System R2000WT Product Family TPS

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 R2000WT Product

Family and should be kept in mind while configuring your server system.



When adding or removing components or peripherals, power cords must be disconnected from the

server. With power applied to the server, standby voltages are still present even though the server

board is powered off.



This server board supports the Intel

Xeon

Processor E5-2600 v3 product family with a Thermal

Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 145 Watts.

Previous generations of the Intel

Xeon

processors are not supported. Server systems using this server board may or may not meet the TDP

design limits of the server board. Validate the TDP limits of the server system before selecting a

processor.



Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the server board to operate



Riser Slots #2 and #3 are only supported in dual processor configurations



The riser card slots are specifically designed to support riser cards only.

Attempting to install a

PCIe* add-in card directly into a riser card slot on the server board may damage the server board, the

add-in card, or both.



This server board only supports DDR4 ECC RDIMM – Registered (Buffered) DIMMS and

DDR4 ECC

LRDIMM – Load Reduced DIMMs



For the best performance, the number of DDR4 DIMMs installed should be balanced across both

processor sockets and memory channels



On the back edge of the server board are eight diagnostic LEDs that display a sequence of amber

POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST, the LEDs display the

last POST event run before the hang.



The System Status LED will be set to a steady Amber color for all Fatal Errors that are detected

during processor initialization. A steady Amber System Status LED indicates that an unrecoverable

system failure condition has occurred



RAID partitions created using either embedded software RAID option, RSTe or ESRT2, cannot span

across the two embedded SATA controllers. Only drives attached to a common SATA controller can

be included in a RAID partition



The FRUSDR utility must be run as part of the initial platform integration process before it is

deployed into a live operating environment. Once the initial FRU and SDR data is loaded on to the

system, all subsequent system configuration changes will automatically update SDR data using the

BMC auto configuration feature, without having to run the FRUSDR utility again. However, to ensure

the latest sensor data is installed, the SDR data should be updated to the latest available as part of a

planned system software update.



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
