Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
This section provides a list of useful information that should be referenced before attempting to
integrate and configure your Intel Server System SR1560SF.
 After the system is integrated with processors, memory, and peripheral devices, the
FRUSDR utility
must be run to load the proper Sensor Data Record data to the
integrated Server Management subsystem. Failure to run this utility may prevent
Server Management from accurately monitoring system health and may affect
system performance. The FRUSDR utility for this server system can either be run
from the Intel Deployment CDROM that came with your system, or can be
downloaded from the Intel website referenced at the bottom of this page.
 To ensure the highest system reliability, make sure the latest system software is
loaded on the server before deploying the system onto a live networking
environment. This includes system BIOS, FRUSDR, BMC firmware, and hot-swap
controller firmware. The system software can be updated using the Intel Deployment
CDROM that came with your system or can be downloaded from the Intel website
referenced at the bottom of this page.
 Only supported memory validated by Intel should be used in this server system. A list
of supported memory can be found in the Intel
®
Server System SR1560SF Tested
Memory List which can be downloaded from the Intel website referenced at the
bottom of this page.
 This system supports the Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5000 sequence. A list of supported
processors is provided in Table 2 of this document, or can be downloaded from the
Intel website referenced at the bottom of this page. Intel Xeon processors not
referenced on the supported processor list cannot be used in this server system.
 The air dam on the CPU air duct must be in place for single processor
configurations. Once the air dam is removed, it cannot be re-installed.
 The CPU air duct and air baffle must be used to maintain system thermals.
 To maintain system thermals, all hard drive bays must be populated with either a
hard drive or drive blank.
 System fans are not hot-swappable.
 In systems configured with a backplane, a USB floppy accessory kit is available for
installing a slim-line USB floppy drive in either the slim-line bay or in the first 3.5”
hard drive bay. This kit has the following Intel product order code: AXXUSBFLOPPY.
