• Disconnect the power supply module before removing power from the system. Unplug

this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not

use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

• Do not use this product near a water source, such as a faucet.

• Never spill liquids of any kind on this product.

• Never shove objects of any kind into this product’s open slots, as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts and could result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not block or cover slots and openings in this unit, as they were made for ventilation
and prevent this unit from overheating. Do not place this product in a built-in installation

unless proper ventilation is available.

• Do not disassemble this product. This product should only be taken apart by trained

personnel. Opening or removing covers and circuit boards may expose you to electric

different settings and functions of the motherboard, as well as to confirm the location of

each connector and jumper.

Chapter 4 BIOS Configuration Settings

This chapter introduces the key features of BIOS, including the descriptions and option
keys for diverse functions. These details provide users to effortlessly navigate and
configure the input/output devices.

Chapter 5 BMC Configuration Settings

This chapter illustrates the diverse functions of IPMI BMC, including the details on logging
into the web page and assorted definitions. These descriptions are helpful in configuring
various functions through Web GUI without entering the BIOS setup. For more information
of BMC configurations, please refer to BMC (Aspeed2500) User's Manual for a more

detailed description.

Chapter 6 Technical Support

For more information or suggestion, please contact the nearest AIC corporation

representative in your district or visit the AIC website: http://www.aicipc.com/en. It is our

2�1�2 Processor Heat Sink Module and Processor Socket Assembly

Each processor socket on the server board is pre-assembled with a loading mechanism that
is designed to secure the Processor Heat Sink Module (PHM) to the server board as shown

below.

WARNING

Previous generations of the Intel Xeon Processors and heatsinks are not compatible with the

Intel Server Board S2600BP Product Family. Processor installation requires that the processor
be attached to the installation onto the server board.

5

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupLynx User Manual

2�1�3 Processor Heat Sink Module

The PHM refers to the sub-assembly where the heat sink and processor are clipped

together onto the server board prior to installation. The PHM consists of the

components shown below.

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupLynx User Manual

The PHM sits level with the processor socket assembly. The PHM is NOT installed
properly if it does not sit level with the processor socket assembly. Once the PHM is
seated over the processor socket assembly, the four heat sink torque screws must be

tightened in order as shown below.
