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 the following processor product families:
o Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2600 product family with a Thermal Design Power (TDP)
of up to and including 135 Watts.
o Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E5-2600 v2 product family with a Thermal Design Power
(TDP) of up to and including 130 Watts.
o Previous generations of the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors are not supported.
 Server systems using this server board may or may not meet the TDP design limits of
the server board. Validate the TDP limits of the server system before selecting a
processor.
 Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the server board to
operate.
 Riser card slot #2 is only functional with two CPUs installed.
 The SCU-1 mini-SAS connector is only enabled when an 8-port Intel
®
RAID C600
Upgrade Key is installed.
 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.
 The Intel
®
Remote Management Module 4 (Intel
®
RMM4) connector is not compatible
with any previous versions of the Intel
®
Remote Management Module (Product Order
Codes – AXXRMM, AXXRMM2, AXXRMM3).
