Thermal Operation and Configuration Requirements

To keep the system operating within supported maximum thermal limits, the system must meet the following operating and
configuration guidelines:

• Ambient in-let temperature cannot exceed 35º C and should not remain at this maximum level for long periods of time.
Doing so may affect long term reliability of the system.

• The CPU-1 processor + CPU heatsink must be installed first.

• Memory Slot population requirements:
NOTE: Specified memory slots either can be populated with a DIMM or supplied DIMM Blank (DIMM blanks are only
provided in systems that require them). Memory population rules apply when installing DIMMs.

▪ DIMM Population Rules on CPU-1

Install DIMMs in order; Channels A, B, and C. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then 2nd slot.

▪ DIMM Population Rules on CPU-2
Install DIMMs in order; Channels D, E, and F. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then 2nd slot.

• All hard drive bays must be populated. Hard drive carriers either can be populated with a hard drive or supplied drive
blank.

• The air duct must be installed at all times.

• In single power supply configurations, the second power supply bay must have the supplied filler blank installed at all
times.

• The system top-cover must be installed at all times.

General Installation Process

The installation instructions in this section are for common components of Intel® Server System
R2000SC family.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

• Memory Type:

Minimum of one 1 GB, 240-pin, RDIMM or UDIMM, DDR3-1066,

DDR3-1333, or DDR3-1600.

• Processor:

Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2400 product family.

• Hard Disk Drives: SATA

For a complete list of compatible processors, heatsinks, and memory, see

http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support.

To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must
meet the following minimum requirements:

1

Preparing the System

Observe normal ESD (Electrostatic Discharge)
procedures.

Place your Intel® Server System on a flat anti-static
surface to perform the following integration procedures.
Observe ESD procedures before reaching inside to make
server board connections or install components.

IMPORTANT!

Before proceeding
further, check your
Intel

®

Server System
for disconnected or
loose cables and
components that
may have occurred
during shipping.

CAUTION: The heatsink 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.

Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four screws located on the
heatsink corners in a diagonal manner using the following procedure:

Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop. (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)

Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two rotations and stop.
Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4.

Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw two rotations each time
until all screws are loosened.

Memory Configurations and Population Order:

Intel® Server Board S2400SC

For best performance, a minimum of three DIMMs per CPU is recommended, populated in the blue slot of each memory channel.
In a single-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first.

In a dual-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first for CPU 1 and D1 DIMM first for CPU2.

Note: For additional memory configurations, see the Service Guide on the Intel

®

Server Deployment Toolkit CD that accompanies your Intel® Server System

S2400SC

,

or go to http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/.

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:

Server Board

S2400SC Technical Product Specification for more information.

Use the instructions provided with the RAID controller and with the operating system.

With the operating system running, insert the Intel

®

Server Deployment Toolkit CD. If using a Microsoft Windows* operating system, the Express Installer will autorun and

allow you to select the appropriate drivers to install. On other operating systems, browse the CD folders to locate and install the driver files.

Download the latest version of the Intel® System Management Software from http://www.intel.com/go/servermanagement and use the instructions provided at that link to
