Server Chassis
Intel® Server Boards contain a number of high-density VLSI (Very-large-scale integration) and
power delivery components that require adequate airflow for cooling. Intel ensures through its
own chassis development and testing that when Intel
the fully integrated system meets the intended thermal requirements of these components. It is
the responsibility of the system integrator who 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 the published operating or non-operating limits.

Functional Architecture
3.1 Processor Support
The architecture and design of the Intel® Server Board S2400SC is based on the Intel® C600
chipset. The chipset is designed for systems based on the Intel
1356 Socket B2 package with Intel
This chapter provides a high-level description of the functionality associated with each chipset
component and the architectural blocks that make up the server boards.

Figure 12. Intel® Server Board S2400SC Functional Block Diagram
The Intel® Server Board S2400SC includes two Socket-B2 (LGA-1356) processor sockets and
can support the following processor:
Intel
®
Xeon® processor E5-2400 product family, with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of
up to 95W.

Xeon® processor E5-2400 v2 product family, with a Thermal Design Power (TDP)
of up to 95W.
Note: Previous generation Intel
®
Xeon® processors are not supported on the Intel® server board
described in this document.
Visit the Intel web site for a complete list of supported processors.
Each processor socket of the server board is pre-assembled with an Independent Latching
Mechanism (ILM) and Back Plate which allow for secure placement of the processor and
processor heat to the server board.
The illustration below identifies each sub-assembly component.
Figure 13. Processor Socket Assembly
Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel does not perform validation
testing of this configuration. For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations,
Intel recommends that identical processors be installed.

Error
Severity
System Action
Processor family not Identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
When using a single processor configuration, the processor must be installed into the processor
socket labeled “CPU_1”.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same number of cores.
Both processors must have the same cache size for all levels of processor cache
memory.
Processors with different speeds can be mixed in a system, given the prior rules are
met. If this condition is detected, all processor speeds are set to the lowest common
denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.
Processors which have different Intel Quickpath (QPI) Link Frequencies may operate
together if they are otherwise compatible and if a common link frequency can be
selected. The common link frequency would be the highest link frequency that all
installed processors can achieve.
Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all
®
Intel
server boards and Intel server systems designed around the Intel® Xeon® processor E5-
2400 product family and Intel
®
C600 chipset product family architecture. The errors fall into one
of the following two categories:
Fatal: If the system can boot, it pauses at a blank screen with the text “Unrecoverable
fatal error found. System will not boot until the error is resolved” and “Press <F2>
to enter setup” regardless of whether the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled or
disabled.
Major: If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is disabled, the system will log
the error to the BIOS Setup Utility Error Manager and then continue to boot. No POST
error message is given. If the “POST Error Pause” option in BIOS Setup is enabled, the
error is logged and the system goes directly to the Error Manager in BIOS Setup.
Minor: The message is displayed on the screen or on the Error manager screen, and
the POST Error code is logged to SEL. The system continues booting in a degraded
state. The user may want to replace the erroneous unit. The POST Error Pause option
setting in the BIOS does not have any effect on this error.
Table 3. Mixed Processor Configurations
Logs the POST Error Code into the System Event Log (SEL).
Alerts the BMC to set the System Status LED to steady Amber.
Displays “0194: Processor family mismat ch detected” messa ge in
the Error Manager.
Takes Fatal Error action (see above) and will not boot until the fault
condition is remedied.
