1.1 Intel Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-density VLSI and
power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures through its own chassis
development and testing that when Intel

2.4 Product Architecture Overview
The architecture of Intel® Server Board S2600WF product family is developed around the integrated features
and functions of the Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family, the Intel® C620 series chipset (PCH), Intel®
Ethernet Controller X557-AT2 (S2600WFT only), and the ASPEED* AST2500 baseboard management
controller (BMC).
Figure 12 provides an overview of the server board architecture, showing the features and interconnects of
each of the major sub-system components.

2.5 System Software Stack
The server board includes a system software stack that consists of the bystem BIOS, BMC firmware, Intel®
Management Engine (Intel® ME) firmware, and field replacement unit (FRU) and sensor data record (SDR)
data. Together, they configure and manage features and functions of the server system.
Many features and functions of the server system are managed jointly by the system BIOS and the BMC
firmware, including:
• IPMI watchdog timer
• Messaging support, including command bridging and user/session support
• BIOS boot flags support
• Event receiver device – The BMC receives and processes events from the BIOS.
• Serial-over-LAN (SOL)
• ACPI state synchronization – The BMC tracks ACPI state changes that are provided by the BIOS.

• Fault resilient booting (FRB) – Fault resistant boot level 2 (FRB-2) is supported by the watchdog timer
functionality.
• Front panel management – The BMC controls the system status LED and chassis ID LED. It supports
secure lockout of certain front panel functionality and monitors button presses. The chassis ID LED is
turned on using a front panel button or a command.
• DIMM temperature monitoring – New sensors and improved acoustic management using closed-loop
fan control algorithm taking into account DIMM temperature readings.
• Integrated KVM
• Integrated remote media redirection
• Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager support
• Sensor and SEL logging additions/enhancements (e.g., additional thermal monitoring capability)
• Embedded platform debug feature, which allows capture of detailed data for later analysis by Intel
A complete system software stack is pre-programmed on the server board during the board assembly
process, making the server board functional at first power on. However, to ensure the most reliable system
operation, it is highly recommended to check http://downloadcenter.intel.com
for the latest available system
updates.
System updates can be performed in a number of operating environments, including the UEFI shell using the
UEFI-only system update package (SUP), or under different operating systems using the Intel® One Boot
Flash Update (Intel® OFU) utility.
As part of the initial system integration process, system integrators must program system configuration data
onto the server board using the FRUSDR utility to ensure the embedded platform management subsystem is
able to provide the best performance and cooling for the final system configuration. The FRUSDR utility is
included in the SUP and OFU packages. For additional information, see Section 2.5.2.
Refer to the following Intel documents for more indepth information about the system software stack and
their functions:

2.5.1 Hot Keys Supported During POST
Certain hot keys are recognized during power-on self-test (POST). A hot key is a key or key combination that
is recognized as an unprompted command input, where the operator is not prompted to press the hot key. In
most cases, hot keys are recognized even while other processing is in progress.
The BIOS supported hot keys are only recognized by the system BIOS during the system boot time POST
process. Once the POST process has completed and hands off the system boot process to the operating
system, BIOS supported hot keys are no longer recognized.
Table 3 provides a list of available POST hot keys along with a description for each.
29
Table 3. POST hot keys
Intel® Server Board S2600WF Product Family Technical Product Specification
2.5.1.1 POST Logo/Diagnostic Screen
If quiet boot is enabled in the BIOS setup utility, a splash screen is displayed with the standard Intel logo
screen or a customized original equipment manufacturer (OEM) logo screen if one is present in the
designated flash memory location. By default, quiet boot is enabled in the BIOS setup utility and the logo
screen is the default POST display. However, the pressing <Esc> hides the logo screen and displays the
diagnostic screen instead.
If a logo is not present in the BIOS flash memory space, or if quiet boot is disabled in the system
configuration, the POST diagnostic screen is displayed with a summary of system configuration information.
The POST diagnostic screen is purely a text mode screen, as opposed to the graphics mode logo screen.
If console redirection is enabled in the BIOS setup utility, the quiet boot setting is disregarded and the text
mode diagnostic screen is displayed unconditionally. This is due to the limitations of console redirection,
which transfers data in a mode that is not graphics-compatible.
2.5.1.2 BIOS Boot Pop-Up Menu
The BIOS boot specification (BBS) provides a boot pop-up menu that can be invoked by pressing the <F6>
key during POST. The BBS pop-up menu displays all available boot devices. The boot order in the pop-up
menu is not the same as the boot order in the BIOS setup utility. The pop-up menu simply lists all of the
available devices from which the system can be booted, and allows a manual selection of the desired boot
device.
When an administrator password is installed in the BIOS setup utility, the administrator password is required
to access the boot pop-up menu. If a user password is entered, the user is taken directly to the boot manager
in the BIOS setup utility only allowing booting in the order previously defined by the administrator.
2.5.1.3 Entering BIOS Setup
To enter the BIOS setup utility using a keyboard (or emulated keyboard), press the <F2> function key during
boot time when the OEM or Intel logo screen or the POST diagnostic screen is displayed.
The following instructional message is displayed on the diagnostic screen or under the quiet boot logo
screen:
Press <F2> to enter setup, <F6> Boot Menu, <F12> Network Boot
Note: With a USB keyboard, it is important to wait until the BIOS discovers the keyboard and beeps; until the
USB controller has been initialized and the keyboard activated, key presses are not read by the system.
When the BIOS setup utility is entered, the main screen is displayed initially. However, if a serious error
occurs during POST, the system enters the BIOS setup utility and displays the error manager screen instead
of the main screen.
For additional BIOS setup utility information, refer to Intel® Server Board S2600 Family BIOS Setup User
Guide.
2.5.1.4 BIOS Update Capability
To bring BIOS fixes or new features into the system, it is necessary to replace the current installed BIOS
image with an updated one. The BIOS image can be updated using a standalone IFLASH32 utility in the UEFI
shell or using the OFU utility program under a supported operating system. Full BIOS update instructions are
provided with update packages downloaded from the Intel website.
