Minimum Hardware Requirements To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the following minimum requirements. For more information on supported processors and qualified memory and chassis components, see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501HG2 Processor Minimum of one Intel Xeon processor with 512K cache. For a complete list of supported processors, see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501HG2 Memory Minimum of two 128 MB ECC, DDR266-compliant registered SDRAM 184-pin gold DIMMs.1 Power Supply Minimum of 450 W with 1.2 A +5 V standby current (in order to support Wake On LAN* (WOL)) and 12+ V CPU power support [ATX], which meets the SSI EPS 12 V specification. You must provide standby current, or the board will not boot. For more information on the SSI EPS 12 V specification, see: http://www.ssiforum.org Installation Notes Installation Process Quick Reference Step Remove the access cover Install the I/O shield Install the standoffs Install the rubber bumper Install the server board Connect cables to the server board Install the processor and processor wind tunnel in the Intel® Server Chassis SC5200 base chassis or in a reference chassis Install the processor in the Intel® Server Chassis SC5200 with Hot Swap Redundant Power Install memory Where the information is located Your chassis manual Page 33 Page 35 Page 36 Page 36 Page 38.
