Hardware Requirements Processor One or two Intel® Xeon® 5500 processors must be installed. System Memory The server board provides four memory channels, each with two slots. Channels A and B with DIMM A1, A2, B1 and B2 are assigned to processor 1. Channels D and E with DIMM D1, D2, E1 and E2 are assigned to processor 2. Channels D and E can only be used if processor 2 is populated. If two processors are populated, then they can both access the entire memory via Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (Intel® QPI).
Memory Mirroring The chipset supports memory mirroring. Memory mirroring is a concept intended to avoid loss of data if one DIMM fails. The maximum useable memory amounts to half of the installed memory in a mirrored system. Memory mirroring is achieved by mirroring both memory channels of each processor. For memory mirroring, the DIMMs need to have the same capacity and technology across all channels.
3 Hardware Installations and Upgrades Before You Begin Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the installation precautions at the end of this manual. System references in relation to the chassis refer to a pedestal-mounted server when viewed from the front.
Removing the Chassis Cover 1. Remove the cover. 2. Loosen the three thumbscrews that fasten the left front cover to the chassis. 3. Pull the cover outwards (approx. 1 cm) so that the guiding hooks can slide out of the chassis grooves. 4. Tilt the chassis cover upwards on its side and then take it off. Installing 5.25-inch Drive (DVD, streamer) The server is supplied with a total of six mounting rails for 5.25-inch devices.
2. Slide the drive carrier out of the drive cage. 3. Remove the four screws that secure the plastic retention device to the drive carrier. Remove the plastic retention device. Figure 10. Removing Plastic Retention Device 4. Secure the hard drive to the drive carrier using the four screws that were formerly attached to the plastic retention device. Ensure that the connector end of the hard drive is facing the back of the drive carrier.
Installing and Removing Memory The DIMMs are labelled as DIMM_A1 to DIMM_B2 and DIMM_D1 to DIMM_E2 on the board. Begin populating your memory with DIMM_A1. First add memory in the first socket of each of the following memory channels before installing the DIMMs in the second socket of a channel. In systems with two processors, distribute the memory evenly over both processors. Please refer to Chapter 2 for more detailed information on the system memory.
Removing DIMMs To remove a DIMM, follow these steps: 1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. 2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server. 3. Remove the AC power cord from the server. 4. Remove the server’s cover. 5. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The DIMM pops out of the socket. 6. Hold the DIMM by the edges, lift it away from the socket, and store it in an anti-static package. 7.
