Technical Product Specification

Intel
®
Server Board S2600WP TPS Product Architecture Overview
The square ILM has an 84x106 mm heatsink mounting hole pattern and is used on the Intel
®
Server Board S2600WP.
Note: The Intel
®
Server System H2000WP uses two different CPU heatsinks for CPU 1 and
CPU 2. FXXCA84X106HS (Cu base-Al fin Heatsink) is for CPU1, and FXXEA84X106HS (Al-
extruded Heatsink) is for CPU2. Misallocating the heatsinks in Intel
®
Server System H2000WP
will cause serious thermal damage. Refer to the Intel
®
Server System H2000WP TPS for more
details.
3.2.2
Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel does not perform validation
testing of this configuration. For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations,
Intel recommends that identical processors be installed.
When using a single-processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor
socket labeled “CPU_1”.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
 Both processors must be of the same processor family.
 Both processors must have the same cache size.
 Processors with different speeds can be mixed in a system, given the prior rules are met.
If this condition is detected, all processor speeds are set to the lowest common
denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.
 Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all
Intel

Server Boards and Intel

Server Systems designed around the Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor
E5-2600 and E5-2600 v2 product family and Intel
®
C600-A chipset product family architecture.
The errors fall into one of the following two categories:
 Fatal: If the system can boot, it goes directly to the Error Manager screen in BIOS Setup,
regardless of whether the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled or disabled.
 Major: If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is disabled, the system will log
the error to the BIOS Setup Utility Error Manager and then continue to boot.
No POST
error message is given. If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is enabled, the
error is logged and the system goes directly to the Error Manager in BIOS Setup.
