Installation in Intel® Server Chassis SR1500, SR1550 or SR2500
This section provides the steps to correctly install the NIC module in 1U or 2U chassis configurations to reduce EMI
emissions. Figure 4 shows the EMI gasket, standoffs and NIC module that will be used for this type of installation.

Installation of the EMI gasket will allow compliance with EMC requirements. Use the following steps for proper
installation.
1- Locate the EMI gasket. It is approximately 3/4” (2mm) long and 3/8” (1mm) wide.
2- Using the adhesive strip on the EMI gasket, attach it to the RJ-45 connector on the NIC module. See Figure 5.
3- Install two plastic standoffs into the server board and remove the filler plate from the chassis opening. See
Figure 6.
4- Mount the NIC module onto the standoffs as shown in Figure 7. In this chassis configuration the EMI gasket
will be between the RJ-45 connector and the chassis base. Complete the Intel® RMM installation following the
instructions in the Quick Start Users Guide. http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/sb/CS-
022662.htm. You will see several versions of the Quick Start Users Guide. They are all identical for installing the
Intel® RMM. View the back side of any of the guides.
