Intel® Server Board S5500HV/Intel® Server System SR1670HV TPS Appendix A: Product Usage Tips Appendix A: Product Usage Tips ƒ When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, AC power must be removed. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-Volt standby is still present even though the server board is powered off. ƒ Each time AC power is applied to the server, the Blue System ID LED will turn on, the power button will be disabled, and a delay of 30-45 seconds will occur before the system is able to power on. This delay is needed to reset the BMC controller on the BMC Management Module. Once the BMC reset has completed, the System ID LED will turn off, and the power button will be re-enabled allowing for the system to be powered on. ƒ Only the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series and 5600 Series with 130 Watt and less Thermal Design Power (TDP) are supported on the Intel® Server Board S5500HV. Previous generations of the Intel® Xeon® processors are not supported. ƒ Only the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 Series and 5600 Series with 95 Watt and less Thermal Design Power (TDP) are supported in the Intel® Server System SR1670HV. Previous generations of the Intel® Xeon® processors are not supported. ƒ Only registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and unbuffered DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMMs) are supported on this server board. Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported. ƒ For the best performance, the number of DDR3 DIMMs installed should be balanced across both processor sockets and memory channels. For example, a two-DIMM configuration performs better than a one-DIMM configuration. In a two-DIMM configuration, DIMMs should be installed in DIMM sockets A1 and D1. A six-DIMM configuration (DIMM sockets A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, and F1) performs better than a threeDIMM configuration (DIMM sockets A1, B1, and C1). ƒ Due to thermal requirements needed to support Quad Rank x4 DDR3 DIMMs, this memory type is not supported in the Intel® Server System SR1670HV. Support for this memory type should be verified with other server chassis/system manufacturers planning to support this server board. ƒ Memory is only populated using DIMM slots associated with a given installed processor. Ie.) With only one processor installed, only the DIMM slots associated with that processor should be populated. Memory installed into DIMM slots for a processor that is not installed are non-functional. ƒ The Management NIC port is only enabled with the BMC Module installed on to the server board. With no BMC module installed, the Management NIC port, located above the rear external USB ports, will be non-functional. ƒ Reference the Intel® Server System SR1670HV Service Guide for RAID setup information ƒ Reference the Intel® Server System SR1670HV Service Guide for BIOS setup information ƒ Reference the Intel® Server System SR1670HV Service Guide for System Update Utility usage information ƒ Reference the Intel® Server System SR1670HV Service Guide for system service and support information . 79 Intel Confidential Revision 1.2 Intel order number E69391-006
