Intel® server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow
for cooling. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these components
when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use
Intel® developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of
airflow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible
if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or
non-operating limits.

Warnings
Warnings
Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether
you are using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close
attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the assembly
instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing
product certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated
components specified in this guide. Use of other products/components will
void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will
most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s)
in which the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC
power. To remove power from the system, you must unplug the AC power
cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before
you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions
may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the
server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks,
and modems attached to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal
injury or equipment damage can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk
drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all
procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available,
provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to
chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your server when
handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be
extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing
a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam
pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any
surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the pins on the board.

Installing the Processor
Caution:
Processor must be appropriate: You may damage the server board if you install a
processor that is inappropriate for your server. For a web link to the list of compatible
processor(s), see “Additional Information and Software” on page 4.
ESD and handling processors: Reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge (ESD) damage to
the processor by doing the following:
- Touch the metal chassis before touching the processor or server board. Keep part of
your body in contact with the metal chassis to dissipate the static charge while
handling the processor.
- Avoid moving around unnecessarily.
Protective socket cover needs to be removed for proper cooling of the processor; failure to
remove the cover could result in damage to the system.
1. Open the Socket Lever. Push down the lever handle on the OPEN 1st side and away from the
socket to release it. (see letter A). Repeat the steps to release the lever on the other side (see
letter B).

Installing and Removing Memory
The MFS2600KI compute module has 14 DIMM blanks installed and only DIMM slots A1 and E1
are empty. Take out the DIMM blanks only when real DIMM will be installed into that DIMM slot.
The memory slots of each DDR3 channel from the Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2600 Series are
populated in a farthest-first fashion. 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://www.intel.com/support/category/server/mfs2600ki/cmptbl.
The minimum memory population possible is one DIMM in slot A1. If both processor sockets are
populated, the next upgrade from the Single Channel mode is installing DIMM E1. If only one
processor socket is populated, the next upgrade from the Single Channel mode is installing DIMM
B1 to allow channel interleaving.
Removing DIMM Blank
1. Locate the DIMM sockets. Gently spread the retaining clips at each end of the socket. The
DIMM blank lifts from the socket.

2. Holding the DIMM blank, lift it from the socket
Figure 14 Removing DIMM Blank
Installing Memory
1. Locate the DIMM sockets. Make sure the clips at either end of the DIMM socket(s) are pushed
outward to the open position (see letter A).
2. Holding the DIMM by the edges, remove it from its anti-static package. Position the DIMM
above the socket. Align the notch on the bottom edge of the DIMM with the key in the DIMM
socket (see letter B).
3. Insert the bottom edge of the DIMM into the socket (see letter C). When the DIMM is inserted,
push down on the top edge of the DIMM until the retaining clips snap into place (see letter D).
Make sure the clips are firmly in place (see letter E).
