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.
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.
Slide / Rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage to your computer or the components within it. ESD can occur
without the user feeling a shock while working inside the system chassis or while improperly handling
electronic devices like processors, memory or other storage devices, and add-in cards.
Intel recommends the following steps be taken when performing any procedures described within this
document or while performing service to any computer system.
•Where available, all system integration and/or service should be performed at a properly equipped ESD
workstation
• Wear ESD protective gear like a grounded antistatic wrist strap, sole grounders, and/or conductive shoes
• Wear an anti-static smock or gown to cover any clothing that may generate an electrostatic charge
• Remove all jewelry
• Disconnect all power cables and cords attached to the server before performing any integration or
service
• Touch any unpainted metal surface of the chassis before performing any integration or service
• Hold all circuit boards and other electronic components by their edges only
• After removing electronic devices from the system or from their protective packaging, place them
component side up on to a grounded anti-static surface or conductive foam pad. Do not place electronic
devices on to the outside of any protective packaging.

2.5 Processor Assembly, Installation, and Replacement
Components Required:
1 or 2 Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family
1 or 2 processor clips – Standard and/or Fabric
2 Processor Heat Sink(s)
This generation of Intel Server Systems requires that the processor be attached to the heat sink prior to
installation on to the server board. The processor / heat sink assembly is referred to as the processor heat
sink module, or PHM.
To properly assemble the PHM and install it to the server board, the procedures described in the following
sections must be followed in the order specified. These instructions assume that all the PHM components
are new and the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is already applied to the bottom of the heat sink.
Note: Intel Server Systems include two processor clips to support standard Intel® Xeon processors. For Intel®
Xeon® processors that include an Intel® Omni-path host interface connector, a Fabric processor clip must be
used in place of the standard processor clip. Fabric processor clips are included with the following Intel
Fabric processor accessory kits: AWF1PFABKITM or AWF1PFABKITP
WARNING: Attempting to use a Standard CPU Clip with a Fabric supported CPU may result in component
damage and/or induce improper assembly of the PHM.

Accessory kits for the PCIe Switches, and available PCIe OCuLink cables are sold separately from the system.
Reference the Intel® Server S2600WF Product Family Configuration Guide to determine appropriate cables
necessary to match the desired NVMe drive configuration to a specified PCIe source. Cables identified in the
Configuration Guide are optimized to provide the cleanest cable routing.
The following procedure should be followed when installing data cables from a backplane to a PCIe source.
1. If installed, removed the system fan assembly module (See section 2.4.1)
2. Locate the PCIe OCuLink cable that supports the desired NVMe drive configuration and PCIe source:
a. Onboard OCuLink connectors – One (1) NVMe drive per cable (1 connector at each end of the cable)
b. PCIe Switch Add-in Card – Four (4) NVMe drives per cable (4 connectors at each end of the cable)
3. Attach one end of the cable (1 connector or 4 connectors) to matching PCI_SSD OCuLink connector(s) on
the backplane
4. Route the cable to the nearest chassis sidewall and carefully position it within the cable routing channel
along the sidewall
5. Connect the other end of the PCIe OCuLink cable to the appropriate PCIe source (Onboard OCuLink or
Add-in Switch card)
6. Repeat steps for each OCuLink cable to be installed
7. If no more cables are to be installed, re-install the system fan module (See section 2.4.2)
The following sections provide information necessary to support NVMe RAID and NVMe Management
features. They include instructions for the installation of an Intel® VROC Upgrade Key accessory and
associated drive population / support rules when VROC management features are enabled.

2.10.3 NVMe* Drive Population Rules for Intel® VROC
In order to support NVMe RAID and NVMe Management features, the optional Intel® VROC Key must be
installed on to the server board. With the Intel VROC key installed, specific drive population rules exist and
must be followed for proper support of the NVMe management features.
The backplane can support PCIe interfaces from the onboard OCuLink connectors on the server board,
and/or optional add-in Intel Tri-Mode RAID modules and/or PCIe Switch cards. When cabling the PCIe
interfaces from two different PCIe interface sources to the backplane, the cables from each source must be
connected in defined drive sets of four (0,1,2,3) & (4,5,6,7) as shown in the following diagrams.
Note: OCuLink connectors on the server board (one or all) routed to the backplane is considered a single
source.
Routing OCuLink cables from two or more PCIe sources to a defined drive set is not supported.

Figure 73. Backplane Cabling from Two PCIe Sources
When cabling the backplane from two different PCIe sources, no other drive set combinations beyond those
defined above are supported.
Drive population rules will differ depending on the source of the PCIe interface to the backplane. In addition,
specific drive population limits exist when populating a backplane with both NVMe and SAS/SATA drive
types.
The following sections define the drive population rules for each installed 2.5” x 8 combo backplane when
cabled to a specific PCIe source.
NOTE: When connecting the backplane to two different PCIe sources, the defined population rules for each
PCIe source are applied to the drive set connected to it
2.10.3.1 Onboard PCIe OCuLink Connectors and / or Intel Tri-mode RAID module to 8 x 2.5” Combo
Backplane
The following information is applicable when PCIe signals to the 8x2.5” combo backplane are cabled from
the PCIe OCuLink connectors located on the server board and/or an optionally installed Intel® Tri-mode
RAID Module.
OCuLink connectors on the server board are considered a single PCIe source to the backplane, and
therefore can only be connected in defined drive sets: PCIe_SSD (0-3) or (4-7)
62
Intel® Server System R2000WF Product Family System Integration and Service Guide
NVMe drive management sideband signals on the backplane are routed between drive connector pairs:
(0,1) (2,3) (4,5) and (6,7)
In order to support NVMe drive management within a defined drive pair, an NVMe drive MUST be
populated in the first drive connector of the given pair (drives 0, 2, 4, or 6)
PCIe Source Drive Set
PCIe Source Drive Set
Combining an NVMe drive with a SAS/SATA drive within a defined drive pair is NOT supported.
Example) In order to support NVMe management features within a given drive set, with an NVMe drive
installed to drive connector 0, drive connector 1 cannot be populated with a SAS/SATA drive. The same
rule applies to ALL other drive pairs on the backplane.
The following illustrations identify supported and unsupported drive populations associated with any

4. System Software Updates and Configuration
4.1 Updating the System Software Stack
The system includes a software stack to operate including a BIOS, BMC firmware, ME firmware, and FRU &
SDR data. A default software stack is loaded during the system manufacturing process. However, it may not
be the latest available. For best operation and system reliability, it is highly recommended to update the
system software stack to the latest available.
The latest system software stack can be downloaded from Intel at the following Intel web site:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com
At a minimum, after the initial configuration, the system’s FRU and SDR data MUST be updated to ensure that
the embedded platform management sub-system is configured properly. The system’s FRU and SDR data is
updated by running the FRUSDR utility. Properly loaded FRU and SDR data allows platform management to
monitor the appropriate system sensors which are used to determine proper system cooling, best
performance, and accurate error reporting. The FRUSDR utility is included in the platform’s System Update
Package (SUP) which can be downloaded from the Intel web site referenced above. The SUP will include full
system update instructions.
4.2 Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes how to access and navigate the embedded <F2> BIOS Setup utility. This utility can be
used to view and configure system settings that determine how the server operates.
4.2.1 Entering BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS Setup using a keyboard (or emulated keyboard), press the <F2> function key during boot
when the OEM or Intel Logo Screen or the POST Diagnostic Screen is displayed.
Note: At initial system power on, a USB Keyboard will not be functional until the USB Controller has been
initialized during the power on self test (POST) process. When the USB controller is initialized, the system
will beep once. Only after that time will the key strokes from a USB Keyboard be recognized allowing for
access into the <F2> BIOS Setup utility.
The following message will be displayed on the Diagnostic Screen or under the Quiet Boot Logo Screen:
Press <F2> to enter setup, <F6> Boot Menu, <F12> Network Boot
After pressing the <F2> key, the system will eventually load the BIOS Setup Utility and display the BIOS
Setup Main Menu screen.
Note: Should serious system errors occur during the POST process, the regular system boot will stop and the
system will load the BIOS Setup Utility and display the Error Manager Screen. The Error Manager Screen will
list and provide information about the specific boot errors detected
4.2.2 No Access to the BIOS Setup Utility
If the BIOS Setup Utility is not accessible by hitting the <F2> key or other described access methods, it may
be necessary to restore the BIOS default settings. For information relating to restoring BIOS defaults, see
Section 6.2.1 BIOS Default Jumper Block.
93
Intel® Server System R2000WF Product Family System Integration and Service Guide
4.2.3 Navigating the BIOS Setup Utility
The BIOS Setup Utility consists of several menu screens, each holding either informational fields and/or
configurable system setup options.
The bottom right portion of each menu screen provides a list of commands that are used to navigate through
the Setup utility. These commands are displayed at all times.
If no Administrator or User password is used, all available settings are configurable and can be set by anyone
with access to BIOS Setup.
System settings that are not configurable, because of security settings or configuration limits, will be grayed
out and are not accessible.

5. System Packaging Assembly Instructions
The original Intel packaging in which the server system was delivered, is designed to provide protection to a
fully configured system and was tested to meet ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) Test Procedure
3A (2008). The packaging was also designed to be re-used for shipment after system integration has been
completed.
The original packaging includes two layers of boxes – an inner box and the outer shipping box, and various
protective inner packaging components. The boxes and packaging components are designed to function
together as a protective packaging system. When reused, all of the original packaging material must be used,
including both boxes and each inner packaging component. In addition, all inner packaging components
MUST be reinstalled in the proper location to ensure adequate protection of the system for subsequent
shipment.
Note: The design of the inner packaging components does not prevent improper placement within the
packaging assembly. There is only one correct packaging assembly that will allow the package to meet the
ISTA (International Safe Transit Association) Test Procedure 3A (2008) limits.
Failure to follow the specified packaging assembly instructions may result in damage to the system during
shipment.
