Intel Server System R1000BB Family

Intel

Server System R1000BB Product Family TPS
24 Revision 2.0
4. Thermal Management
The fully integrated system is designed to operate at external ambient temperatures of between 10ºC- 35ºC
with limited excursion based operation up to 45ºC, as specified in Table 3. System Environmental Limits
Summary. Working with integrated platform management, several features within the system are designed to
move air in a front to back direction, through the system and over critical components in order to prevent them
from overheating and allow the system to operate with best performance.
The Intel
®
Server System R1000BB product family supports short-term, excursion-based, operation up to 45°C
(ASHRAE A4) with limited performance impact. The configuration requirements and limitations are described in
the configuration matrix found in Appendix D of this document or in the Intel

The installation and functionality of several system components are used to maintain system thermals. They
include six managed dual rotor 40mm x 56mm system fans, one integrated 40mm fan for each installed power
supply module, an air duct, populated hard drive carriers, and installed CPU heats sinks. Hard drive carriers
can be populated with a hard drive or supplied drive blank. In addition, it may be necessary to have specific
DIMM slots populated with DIMMs or supplied DIMM blanks.
4.1 Thermal Operation and Configuration Requirements
To keep the system operating within supported maximum thermal limits, the system must meet the following
operating and configuration guidelines:
• The system operating ambient is designed for sustained operation up to 35ºC (ASHRAE Class A2) with
short term excursion based operation up to 45ºC (ASHRAE Class A4).
o The system can operate up to 40ºC (ASHRAE Class A3) for up to 900 hours per year
o The system can operate up to 45ºC (ASHRAE Class A4) for up to 90 hours per year
o When operating within the extended operating temperature range, then system performance
may be impacted.
o There is no long term system reliability impact when operating at the extended temperature
range within the approved limits.
• Specific configuration requirements and limitations are documented in the configuration matrix found in

• The CPU-1 processor + CPU heat sink must be installed first. The CPU-2 heat sink must be installed
at all times, with or without a processor installed.
• Memory Slot population requirements –
NOTE: Specified memory slots can be populated with a DIMM or supplied DIMM Blank. Memory
population rules apply when installing DIMMs.
o DIMM Population Rules on CPU-1 – Install DIMMs in order; Channels A, B, and C, Start
with1st DIMM (Blue Slot) on each channel, then slot 2. Only remove factory installed DIMM
blanks when populating the slot with an actual memory module.
o DIMM Population Rules on CPU-2 – Install DIMMs in order; Channels D, E, and F. Start
with1st DIMM (Blue Slot) on each channel, then slot 2. Only remove factory installed DIMM
blanks when populating the slot with an actual memory module.
• All hard drive bays must be populated. Hard drive carriers can be populated with a hard drive or
supplied drive blank.
• The air duct must be installed at all times
• In single power supply configurations, the 2
nd
power supply bay must have the supplied filler blank
installed at all times.
• The system top-cover must be installed at all times
