Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Installation and Integration Guide

Introduction

Document Overview

This guide outlines the procedures for integrating an

Intel

Server Platform using an Intel Server Board

SE7501CW2 and Intel Xeon processors.

This guide consists of the most essential information first-time server builders need to successfully assemble an Intel server solution. Your particular operating system’s installation guide will cover the installation of the server’s operating system.

Target Audience

Intel channel program members who are expanding their expertise to include server

platforms and current channel program members looking for a refresher on servers

System integrators deploying servers based on the boxed Intel Server Board

SE7501CW2

Our intent is to better enable system integrators, particularly first-time server builders, to meet the competitive challenges they face in the server market and to keep program members up-to-date on emerging server technologies. By following the steps outlined in this document, you will be able to integrate an Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 with an Intel Server Chassis SC5200 in a timely and effective manner.

The Intel Server Chassis SC5200 is used as an example and is recommended for ease of integration and compatibility; other reference chassis may be different. Expanded installation instructions and complete product information are available in the Intel Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide on the Resource CD. Unless otherwise noted, references to the Intel Server Chassis SC5200 include both the base version and the base redundant power version.

Minimum Hardware Requirements

Your system must meet the following minimum requirements to avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage:

• Processor: Minimum of one Intel Xeon processor 1.8 GHz with 512K cache support in a 603-pin (400-MHz FSB) or 604-pin (533-MHz FSB) INT flip-chip micro pin-grid array (INT-mPGA). For a list of tested processors, visit

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/proc_supp.htm

• Memory: Minimum of one 128-MB ECC DDR 266-compliant registered SDRAM 168-pin gold DIMM. For a list of tested memory, visit

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/tested_mem.htm

• Power: Minimum of 450 W with 1.2A standby current which meets the SSI EPS 12V specification. Intel provides a power budgeting tool to help you determine the power needs of your server at

Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Installation and Integration Guide

Hardware Integration

The following installation procedures enable you to prepare a chassis for integration, add the needed components to your server board, and install the server board. The procedures are condensed from the more comprehensive and detailed Product Guides for the Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 and Intel Server Chassis SC5200. To access the most current and complete Product Guides and for more information, visit Intel Support at:

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501C W2/index.htm

Prepare for Assembly

1. Gather tools needed:

• Needle nose pliers

• Flat blade screwdriver

• Phillips head screwdriver

• Antistatic wrist strap

2. Prepare a clean, static-controlled, level workstation.

3. Collect and organize all necessary hardware including the server board, memory, processor(s), and peripherals (hard drives, floppy disk drive, CD/DVD).

4. Verify that the components chosen for installation are listed as validated for use with the Intel Server Board SE7501CW2. This information is available from the Intel Support Web site: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2/compat.htm

Important Safety Information

Safety Instructions and Information

To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following safety instructions apply whenever working inside the chassis:

1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to this product.

2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button on the front of the product.

3. Disconnect the AC power by unplugging all AC power cords from the system or wall outlet.

4. Disconnect all cables and telecommunication lines that are connected to the system.

5. Retain all screws or other fasteners when removing access cover(s). When finished, refasten the access cover with original screws or fasteners.

6. Do not access the inside of the power supply. There are no serviceable parts in the power supply. If the power supply is malfunctioning, return it to the manufacturer for servicing.

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

CAUTION

Perform the procedures in this product guide only at an electrostatic discharge (ESD) workstation, because the server components are extremely sensitive to ESD. If no such workstation is available, you can reduce the risk of electrostatic discharge damage by doing the following:

• Wear an antistatic wrist strap, and attach it to a metal part of the server.

• Touch the metal on the server chassis before touching the server components.

• Keep part of your body in contact with the metal server chassis to dissipate the static

charge while handling the components.

• Avoid moving around unnecessarily.

• Hold the server components (especially boards) only by the edges.

• Place the server components on a grounded, static-free surface. Use a conductive foam

pad if available. Do not use the product packaging or wrapper as an antistatic surface.

• Do not slide the components over any surface.
