Revision 1.7

Intel order number: D41763-008

1. Introduction

This Technical Product Specification (TPS) provides board-specific information about the

features, functionality, and high-level architecture of the Intel

Server Boards S5000PSL and

S5000XSL. For details about board subsystems, including the chipset, BIOS, and server

management, see the Intel

S5000 Server Board Family Datasheet.

In addition, design-level information for specific subsystems can be obtained by ordering the

External Product Specifications (EPS) for a given subsystem. EPS documents are not publicly

available and must be ordered through your local Intel representative.

1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer

Intel Corporation server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-density

VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through

its own chassis development and testing that when Intel server building blocks are used

together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of these

components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to use Intel-

developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to

determine the amount of airflow required for their specific application and environmental

conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board

does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating

limits.
