so that the processor cutouts match
the two socket pins.
Install the processor as shown.
IMPORTANT!
Before proceeding further,
do the following:
Check your Intel® Server System for
disconnected or loose cables and components
that may have occurred during shipping.

Install Active Heat Sink(s)
A typical active heat sink is shown below.
CAUTION: The heat sink has thermal interface material (TIM)
on the underside of it. Use caution so that you do not damage
the thermal interface material. Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
A
If a protective film covers the thermal interface material (TIM) on the
underside of the heatsink, remove the protective film.
B
Align heatsink fins to the front and back of the chassis for correct airflow.
Airflow goes from front-to-back of chassis.
See airflow diagram at right.
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be
tightened as follows:
C
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdrive r, finger-tighten each
fastener diagonally, according to the white-circled numbers.
D
Securely re-tighten each fastener again in the same order as
performed in Step C.
E
Attach fan power cable to server board as shown.

Install Memory DIMMs
DDR3 Memory Identification:
This server board supports up to eight
DDR3-800/1066/1333 ECC RDIMM and ECC UDIMMs.
DIMM
notch and
socket
bump must
align as
shown.
Memory Configurations and Population Order:
Memory Type: Minimum of one 1GB 800/1066/1333 MHz compliant 240-pin DDR3 DIMM.
Populate DDR3 DIMMs in the order of A1, D1, B1, E1, A2, D2, B2, E2.
Populate the farthest DIMM from the processor for per DIMM per channel.
DIMMs must be identical with respect to size, speed, and organization.
Note: For additional memory configurations, see the User Guide on the Intel
Deployment Toolkit CD that accompanied your Intel
or go to: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SC5650BCDP
Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified DIMMs approved by
®
Intel
. For a list of supported memory, see the tested memory list at
