Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
 When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, 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 Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2400 product family or Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2400 v2 product family with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including
95 Watts. Previous generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors are not supported.
 Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the server board to operate.
 The number of PCIe bus lanes routed to PCI Riser #2 is dependent on the system configuration.
See section 3.2.3.1 for details.
 The SCU-1 mini-SAS connector is only enabled when an 8-port Intel
®
RAID C600 Upgrade Key is
installed.
 This server board only supports registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and unbuffered DDR3
DIMMs (UDIMMs). Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported.
 DIMM slots D1 thru F2 can only be populated in dual processor configurations.
 For the best performance, the number of DDR3 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.
