3.1.2.1Processor Population Rules
When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and
bus/core speed. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU1.
The other socket must be empty.
The board provides up to 90A max, 70A TDC per processor. Processors with higher current
requirements are not supported.
3.1.2.2 Common Enabling Kit (CEK) Design Support
The server board complies with Intel’s common enabling kit (CEK) processor mounting and heat
sink retention solution. The server board ships with a CEK spring snapped onto the underside of

3.1.3.2 DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations
DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller. The operating
mode is determined by the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs in
DIMM slot order: A1 & B1, A2 & B2. DIMMs within a pair must be identical with respect to size,
speed, and organization, but DIMM capacities can be different across different DIMM pairs.
Note: The server board supports single DIMM mode operation. Intel will only validate and
support this configuration with a single 512 MB x8 FBDIMM installed in DIMM slot A1.

6.1.1 CMOS Clear and Password Reset Usage Procedure
The CMOS Clear and Password Reset recovery features are designed for minimal system down
time. The usage procedure for these two features has changed from previous generation Intel
server boards. The following procedure outlines the new usage model:
1. Power down and remove AC power.
2. Open server.
3. Move jumper from the Default operating position (Pins1-2) to the Reset/Clear position
(Pins 2-3).
4. Wait 5 seconds.
5. Move jumper back to default position (Pins 1-2).
6. Close the server chassis.
7. Reconnect AC and power up the server.
The password and/or CMOS is cleared and can be reset in BIOS setup.
6.1.2 BMC Force Update Procedure
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the
BMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the
unlikely event that the BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the
proper update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper which will force the
BMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be following in the event the
standard BMC firmware update process fails:
1. Power down and remove AC power.
2. Open the server.
3. Move jumper from the Default operating position (pins1-2) to the Enabled position (pins
2-3).
4. Close the server chassis.
5. Reconnect AC and power up the server.
6. Perform the BMC firmware update procedure that is documented in README.TXT file
that is included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.
7. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility
may generate an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode.
8. Power down and remove the AC power.
9. Open the server.
10. Move the jumper from the Enabled position (pins 2-3) to the Disabled position (pins 1-2).
11. Close the server chassis.
12. Reconnect AC and power up the server.

Note: Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the Force BMC Update jumper set to the
“Enabled” position. The server should never be run with the BMC Force Update jumper set in
this position and should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This
jumper should remain in the Default – Disabled position when the server is running normally.
6.2 BIOS Select Jumper
The jumper block located at J3A2, is used to select which BIOS image the system will boot to.
Pin 1 on the jumper is identified by ‘▼’. This jumper should only be moved to force the BIOS to
boot to the secondary bank, which may hold a different version of BIOS.
The rolling BIOS feature of the server board will automatically alternate the Boot BIOS to the
secondary bank if the BIOS image in the primary bank is corrupted and cannot boot.

When the AC power is first applied to the system and 5-volt standby is present, the BMC on the
server board requires 15-20 seconds to initialize. During this time, the system status LED blinks
amber and green, and the power button functionality is disabled, preventing the server from
powering up. Once BMC initialization has completed, the status LED will stop blinking and the
power button functionality is restored and can be used to turn on the server.

The output connector ground pins shall be connected to safety ground (power supply
enclosure). This grounding should be well designed to ensure passing the maximum
allowed common mode noise levels.
The power supply shall be provided with a reliable protective earth ground. All secondary
circuits shall be connected to protective earth ground. Resistance of the ground returns to
chassis shall not exceed 1.0 m . This path may be used to carry DC current.
8.2.5 Standby Outputs
The 5 VSB output shall be present when an AC input greater than the power supply turn on
voltage is applied.
8.2.6 Remote Sense
The power supply has remote sense return (ReturnS) to regulate out ground drops for all output
voltages: +3.3 V, +5 V, +12 V1, +12 V2, +12 V3, -12 V, and 5 VSB. The power supply uses
remote sense (3.3 VS) to regulate out drops in the system for the +3.3 V output. The +5 V, +12
V1, +12 V2, +12 V3, –12 V and 5 VSB outputs only use remote sense referenced to the
ReturnS signal.
The remote sense input impedance to the power supply must be greater than 200 on 3.3 VS
and 5 VS; this is the value of the resistor connecting the remote sense to the output voltage
internal to the power supply. Remote sense must be able to regulate out a minimum of a
200 mV drop on the +3.3 V output.
The remote sense return (ReturnS) must be able to regulate out a minimum of a 200 mV drop in
the power ground return. The current in any remote sense line shall be less than 5 mA to
prevent voltage sensing errors. The power supply must operate within specification over the full
range of voltage drops from the power supply’s output connector to the remote sense points.
8.2.7 Voltage Regulation
The power supply output voltages must stay within the following voltage limits when operating at
steady state and dynamic loading conditions. These limits include the peak-peak ripple/noise.

Appendix B: Sensor Tables
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor type,
name, supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of
the sensor purpose. See the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version
1.5, for sensor and event/reading-type table information.
Sensor Type
The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in
the IPMI specification. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, e.g., the
physical entity or characteristic that is represented by this sensor.
Event/Reading Type
The Event/Reading Type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges
and Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification. Note that digital
sensors are a specific type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.
Event Offset/Triggers
Event Thresholds are ‘supported event generating thresholds’ for threshold types of
sensors.
Event Triggers are ‘supported event generating offsets’ for discrete type sensors.
The offsets can be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Codes or Sensor Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification, depending on whether the sensor
event/reading type is generic or a sensor specific response.
Assertion/De-assertion Enables
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor can generate:
- As: Assertions
- De: De-assertion
Readable Value/Offsets
- Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-
discrete type sensors.
- Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the
Get Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are
readable, i.e., Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do not
generate events.

Event Data
This is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated
sensor. For threshold-based sensors, these abbreviations are used:
- R: Reading value
- T: Threshold value
Rearm Sensors
- The rearm is a request for the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated
upon a transition between good and bad states. Rearming the sensors can be done
manually or automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor.
The following abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:
A: Auto-rearm
M: Manual rearm
Default Hysteresis
- Hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor. This column provides the
count of hysterisis for the sensor, which can be 1 or 2 (positive or negative
hysteresis).
Criticality
- Criticality is a classification of the severity and nature of the condition. It also controls
the behavior of the Control Panel Status LED.
Standby
- Some sensors operate on standby power. These sensors may be accessed and/or
generate events when the main (system) power is off, but AC power is present.

Whenever possible, the BIOS will output the current boot progress codes on the video screen.
Progress codes are 32-bit quantities plus optional data. The 32-bit numbers include class,
subclass, and operation information. The class and subclass fields point to the type of hardware
that is being initialized. The operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based on
the data bit availability to display progress codes, a progress code can be customized to fit the

the progress port. The progress codes may be reported by the system BIOS or option ROMs.
The Response section in the table is divided into two types:
Pause: The message is displayed in the Error Manager screen, an error is logged to the

During the system boot, the BIOS executes platform configuration processes, each of which is
assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration routine is started, the BIOS
displays the POST code on the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs on the back edge of the server
board. The Diagnostic LEDs identify the last POST process to be executed.
Each POST code is represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The LEDs are
capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are divided into an
upper nibble and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble is represented by a red LED and
each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green LED. If both bits are set in the upper and
lower nibbles then both the red and green LEDs are lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits
are clear, then the LED is off.
Example: The BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The LEDs are
decoded as:
red bits = 1010b = Ah
green bits = 1100b = Ch
Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the lower
nibble, the two are concatenated as ACh.
