Safety Instructions

When installing, operating, or performing maintenance on this equipment, the following

safety precautions should always be taken into account in order to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury.

Carefully read the safety instructions below before using this product.

• Observe all of the warning and instruction signs distinctively marked on the product.

• Before performing system installations, please consult the User’s Manual provided with this product.

• Do not place this product on an uneven or weak surface (unstable cart, stand, table,

ect.) that might induce the product to fall and sustain serious damage.

• Install only the equipment or device identified in the User’s Manual. Deploying other equipment or device with this motherboard could invoke improper connection of circuitry that leads to fire or personal injury.

• This product should only be operated with the type of power source indicated on the marked label. If you are questionable about which type of power supply is used in your area, consult your dealer or local Power Company.

• 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, including faucet and lavatory.

• 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

shock or other risks. Incorrect reassembly can also cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.

• Risk of explosion is possible if battery is replaced with an incompatible type. Dispose

of used batteries accordingly.

• This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. As a safety feature, this plug is intended to fit only into a grounding type power outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace the outlet.

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupVela User Manual

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.

NOTE

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 SetupVela 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.

Processor Heat Sink Module (PHM) Sub-Assembly

Processor Heatsink Module (PHM)

6

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupVela 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.

Processor Heat Sink – Top View with Screw Tightening Order









CAUTION

Failure to tighten the heatsink screws in the specified order may cause damage to the processor socket assembly. Heat sink screws should be tighted to 12 in-lbs torque according to the indicated order on the top of the heatsink label.

To ensure satisfactory performance, you need to:



Verify the DIMM type:

This product supports DDR4 RDIMM/LRDIMM with EEC (Error Correction Code).



Verify if all of the DIMMs

installed are of the same DIMM type to avoid memory failure and loss of performance speed.
