Intel® Server Board S1200BTL and S1200BTLRM
Quick Start User's Guide
Thank you for buying the Intel® Server Board S1200BTL and S1200BTLRM.
The following information will help you integrate your new server board
into a server chassis. The Intel® Server Board S1200BTL and S1200BTLRM
are designed for use with the Intel® Server Chassis P4000 series.
For details on these chassis or to select a third party chassis,
please visit http://www.intel.com/go/serverbuilder and
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.
When installing the server board into a reference chassis,
refer to the reference chassis instructions.
If you are not familiar with ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures used during system integration,
please see the Intel® Server Board S1200BT Service Guide, available on the Intel® Server Deployment
Toolkit CD or at http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server.
Please boot to the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit CD first for BIOS and firmware configuration and updates.
Read all cautions and warnings first before starting your server system integration.

Install Active Heat Sink(s)
An active heat sink is required for the Intel®
Entry Server Chassis P4000 series. A typical active
heat sink is shown at right. Rotate the active heat
sink so that the power connector can reach the
CPU fan header on the server board.
CAUTION: The heat sink has thermal interface
material (TIM) on the underside of it. Take caution
not to damage the thermal interface material. Use
gloves to avoid injuries from sharp edges.
Use the following procedure to install an active heat
sink to your server board:
Make sure the screwdriver slot at the top
