Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips

±

When adding or removing components or peripherals from the workstation board, you

must remove AC power. With AC power plugged into the workstation board, 5-volt

standby is still present even though the workstation board is powered off.

±

You must install processors in order. CPU 1 is located near the edge of the workstation

board and must be populated to operate the board.

±

On the back edge of the workstation board are four diagnostic LEDs that display a

sequence of red, green, or amber POST codes during the boot process. If the

workstation board hangs during POST, the LEDs display the last POST event run before

the hang.

±

This workstation board supports only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBDIMMs). For a list of

supported memory for this workstation board, see the

Intel

®

S5000PSL, S5000XSL,

S5000XVN, and Server System SC5400RA Tested Memory List

.

±

For a list of Intel supported operating systems, add-in cards, and peripherals for this

workstation board, see the

Intel

®

S5000PSL, S5000XSL, S5000XVN, and Server

System SC5400RA Tested Hardware and OS List.

±

For a list of Intel supported hard disk drives for this workstation board, see the

Intel

®

Server Board/Systems Tested Hard Drive List.

±

This workstation board supports only Intel

®

Xeon

®

processors 5000 sequence with

system bus speeds of 667, 1066, or 1333 MHz. This workstation board does not support

previous generation Intel

®

Xeon

®

processors.

±

For the best performance, you should balance the number of FBDIMMs installed across

both memory branches. For example: a four-DIMM configuration performs better than a

two DIMM configuration. In a four-DIMM configuration, FBDIMMs should be installed in

DIMM sockets A1, B1, C1, and D1. An eight-DIMM configuration performs better then a

six-DIMM configuration.

±

Removing AC power before performing the CMOS Clear operation causes the system to

automatically power up and immediately power down after the CMOS Clear procedure is

followed and AC power is re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord, wait 30

seconds, and then re-connect the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to

the <F2> BIOS Setup Utility to reset the required settings.

±

Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the force BMC update jumper set to the

“enabled” position (pins 2-3). You should never run the workstation with the BMC force

update jumper set in this position and should only use when the standard firmware

update process fails. This jumper should remain in the default (disabled) position (pins

1-2) when the workstation is running normally.

±

When performing a BIOS update procedure, the BIOS select jumper must be set to its

default position (pins 2-3).
