Intel server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate
airflow for cooling. Intel's own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components when the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that
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 can not 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.

Heed safety instructions: Before working with your server product, whether you are
using this guide or any other resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety
instructions. You must adhere to the assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and
maintain compliance with existing product certifications and approvals. Use only the
described, regulated components specified in this guide. Use of other products /
components will void the UL listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and
will most likely result in noncompliance with product regulations in the region(s) in which
the product is sold.
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system AC power. To
remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power cord from the wall outlet.
Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before you open the chassis, add, or remove
any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be
present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the server and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can
result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage disk drives,
boards, and other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground any unpainted metal surface on
your server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely
sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing a board from its
protective wrapper or from the server, place the board component side up on a grounded,
static free surface. Use a conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do
not slide board over any surface.
ivIntel® Server System SC5400RA User’s Guide

Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips
over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that you can grip with your
fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a
tab, take care when using needle nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the
narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides
can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with the
function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the pliers or
other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may bend or break the pins on the board.

Intel® Remote Management Module and RMM
NIC Accessory
The Intel® Remote Management Module and the RMM NIC is an optional accessory kit.
These components plug into connectors on the server board and act as components of the
server board, not as separate products. These two components must be installed together.
These components provide a way to view and operate the server remotely, in real-time.
Keyboard, video, and mouse control (KVM) is redirected to a managing system. This
provides remote control. USB media redirection allows you to use a USB device
anywhere on the network as if it was installed on the managed server. For example, you
can insert a CD-ROM disk in a workstation CD-ROM drive and the managed server will
view it as its own CD-ROM drive.

For installation instructions, see “Installing and Removing the Intel
Management Module and the Intel
®
RMM NIC” on page 79.

Either 4, 8, 12, or 16 DIMMs must be used. A minimum of four 512 MB FBDIMMs are
required. These must be in sockets DIMM_A1 and DIMM_B1 on riser card 1, and
DIMMC1 and DIMM_D1 on riser card 2.
If 8 DIMMs are used, they must be in the 4 sockets noted above in addition to DIMM_A2
and DIMM_B2 on riser card 1, and DIMM_C2 and DIMM_D2 on riser card 2.
If 12 DIMMs are used, they must be in the 8 sockets noted above in addition to
DIMM_A3 and DIMM_B3 on riser card 1, and DIMM_C3 and DIMM_D3 on riser card
2.
If 16 DIMMs are used, all sockets on both riser cards are populated.
FBDIMMs must meet the following requirements:
•Use only FBDIMMs (DDR2-533 or DDR2-667).
•Use only 240-pin FBDIMMs.
•Use FBDIMMs with capacities of 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, or 4 G.
•Use only FBDIMMs that comply with the JEDEC Rev 2.0 specifications.
•The FBDIMMs must be populated in multiples of four. First populate sockets A1,
B1 (card 1), and C1, D1 (card 2). Then populate sockets A2, B2 (card 1), and C2, D2
(card 2), and so on.
•DIMMs within each group of four must be identical with respect to size, speed, and
organization. DIMM capacities can be different between different groups of four.
For example, a valid mixed-DIMM configuration can consist of 512 MB DIMMs
installed in sockets A1, B1, C1, and D1, and 1 GB DIMMs installed in sockets A2,
B2, C2, and D2.
Note: Full DIMM heat spreader (FDHS) FBDIMMs are required.
During the boot process, FBDIMMs that do not meet the population requirements are
disabled.
For a complete list of supported FBDIMMs, see the links under “Additional Information
and Software” on page ix.

Memory Sparing and Mirroring
The chipset includes hardware that supports memory mirroring and memory on-line
sparing. Both memory mirroring and memory on-line sparing provide a way to prevent
data loss in case a FBDIMM fails.
In determining your memory requirements, the need for memory sparing or memory
mirroring must be considered.
•The minimum FBDIMM population for memory mirroring is four DIMMs:
DIMM_A1, DIMM_B1, DIMM_C1 and DIMM_D1.
•The minimum FBDIMM population for memory sparing is eight DIMMs:
DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_B1, DIMM_B2, DIMM_C1, DIMM_C2,
DIMM_A1, and DIMM_A2.
With memory mirroring the system maintains two copies of all data in the memory
subsystem. If a FBDIMM fails, the data is not lost because the second copy of the data is
available from the mirrored FBDIMM in the opposite channel. The system will not fail
due to memory error unless both the primary and the mirrored copy of the data become
corrupt at the same time.
In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory,
with a minimum of four FBDIMMs installed. Since the data is duplicated across
FBDIMMs, it means that up to one-half of the installed FBDIMMs are actively in use at
any one time. The remaining FBDIMMs are used for mirroring.
Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at
a time. See the Intel
®
Server Board Technical Product Specification for additional
information regarding the memory sub-system.
