Preparing
the Chassis
Observe normal ESD
(Electrostatic Discharge)
procedures.
Place your
Intel
®
Server Chassis on
a flat anti-static surface to
perform the following
integration procedures.
Always touch the chassis
frame first, before reaching
inside to make server
board connections or to
install components.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible
damage to your system, make sure you
have components from each category below.
n Processor:
• Minimum of one Intel
®
Xeon
®
processor 5500 series (except TDP 135 W)
n Heat Sink:
• 1U passive heat sink for each processor
installed.
n Memory:
• Minimum of one 1GB, DDR3 800/1066/1333
MHz compliant 240-pin DIMM.
n Hard Disk Drives:
• SATA
n Power:
• Minimum of 400W.
Before proceeding further,
do the following:
IMPORTANT!
Check your Intel
®
Server System for
disconnected or loose cables and components
that may have occurred during shipping.

Install Heat Sink(s)
Each heat sink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened
using the following procedure:
Note: Heatsink styles may vary.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, finger-tighten each fastener
diagonally, according to the numbers shown.
Securely re-tighten each fastener again in the same
order as performed in step B.
CAUTION: The heat sink has thermal interface material
(TIM) on the underside of it. Use caution so that you do
not damage the thermal interface material.
Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.

Align heat sink fins to the front and back of the chassis for
correct airflow. Airflow goes from front-to-back of chassis.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Intel
®
Server Chassis require passive heatsinks.
For a non-Intel server chassis, see the documentation that
came with your chassis for heat sink requirements.

Install Memory DIMMs
To Install DIMMs:
This server board supports up to eight
DDR3-800/1066/1333 ECC RDIMM and ECC or Non-ECC
UDIMM. DDR3 DIMMs that are only single-rank and
dual-rank are supported on this server board.
Memory Configurations and Population Order:
DIMM
notch and
socket
bump must
align as
shown.
Memory Type: Minimum of one
1GB 800/1066/1333 MHz compliant
240-pin DDR3 DIMM.
Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified DIMMs approved by
Intel
®
. For a list of supported memory, see the tested memory list at
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/S5500BC/compat.htm
DIMMs must be identical with respect to size,
speed, and organization.
Note: For additional memory configurations, see the User Guide on the Intel
®
Server
Deployment Toolkit 3.0 CD that accompanied your Intel
®
Server System SR1630BC, or go to:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/S5500BC
Open both DIMM socket levers.
Push down firmly on the DIMM until it
snaps into place and both levers close.
Insert DIMM making sure the connector edge
of the DIMM aligns correctly with the slot.
