1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards 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 server building blocks are used together, the fully
integrated system will meet 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 air
flow 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 their published operating or non-operating limits.

3. Functional Architecture
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB is a purpose build, power-optimized server used in a 1U
rack. Memory and processor socket placement is made to minimize the amount of fan power
required to cool these components. Voltage Regulators (VRDs) are optimized for a particular
range of memory and CPU power that suits the target Internet Portal Datacenter (IPDC)
segment of the market. The VRDs are also designed to be highly power-efficient, balancing the
needs of being small in size and also cost-effective. There are two SKUs: a 12-V only SKU and
an SSI-compliant SKU.

3.3 Processor Subsystem
The Intel
®
5500 series and the next generation Intel
following key technologies:
Intel
®
Integrated Memory Controller
Point-to-point link interface based on the Intel
which was formerly known as the Common System Interface (CSI).
The Intel
®
5500 series processor is a multi-core processor based on the 45 nm process
technology. Processor features vary by SKU and include up to two Intel
capable of up to 6.4 GT/s, up to 8 MB of shared cache, and an integrated memory controller.
The Intel
®
5600 series processor is the next generation of multi-core processors based on the
32 nm process technology. Processor features vary by SKU and include up to 6 cores and up to
12 MB of shared cache.
3.3.1 Processor Support
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports the following processors:
®
5600 series processors support the
®
QuickPath Interconnect (Intel® QPI),
®
QPI point-to-point links
One or two Intel® 5500 series or 5600 series processor(s) in FC-LGA 1366 socket B
package with 4.8 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, or 6.4 GT/s Intel® QPI.
Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP).
Supports Low Voltage (LV) processors.
3.3.2 Processor Population Rules
For optimum performance, when two processors are installed, both must be the identical
revision and have the same core voltage and Intel
is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU1. The other socket must be empty. You must
populate processors in sequential order. Therefore, you must populate processor socket 1
(CPU1) before processor socket 2 (CPU2).
When a single processor is installed, no terminator is required in the second processor socket.
3.3.2.1 Mixed Processor Configurations
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all
Intel® server boards and systems that use the Intel® 5500 Chipset. The errors fall into one of the
following two categories:
Fatal: If the system can boot, it goes directly to the error manager, regardless of
whether the Post Error Pause setup option is enabled or disabled.
®
QPI/core speed. When only one processor
Major: If the Post Error Pause setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to
the error manager. Otherwise, the system continues to boot and no prompt is given
for the error. The error is logged to the error manager.

Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS
Error
Severity
System Action
Processor family not
identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the system event log (SEL).
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an
IPMI command.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays ―0194: Processor family mismatch detected‖
message in the error manager.
Halts the system.
Processor cache not
identical
Fatal
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the SEL.
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an
IPMI command.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays ―0192: Cache size mismatch detected‖ message
in the error manager.
Halts the system.
Processor frequency (speed)
not identical
Major
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Adjusts all processor frequencies to the lowest common
denominator.
Continues to boot the system successfully.
If the frequencies for all processors cannot be adjusted to be the
same, then the BIOS:
Logs the error into the SEL.
Displays ―0197: Processor speeds mismatched‖ message
in the error manager.
Halts the system.
Processor microcode
missing
Minor
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the SEL.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays ―816x: Processor 0x unable to apply microcode
update‖ message in the error manager.
The system continues to boot in a degraded state,
regardless of the setting of POST Error Pause in the
Setup.
Processor Intel® QuickPath
Interconnect speeds not
identical
Halt
The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Adjusts all processor interconnect frequencies to lowest
common denominator.
Logs the error into the SEL.
Alerts the Integrated BMC about the configuration error.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays ―0195: Processor 0x Intel(R) QPI speed
mismatch‖ message in the Error Manager.
If POST Error Pause is disabled in the Setup, continues to
boot in a degraded state.
If POST Error Pause is enabled in the Setup, pauses the
system, but can continue to boot if operator directs.
