Technical Specification Update Preface

I. Preface

This document is an update to the product definition specified in the Intel® Server Board SE7520JR2
Technical Product Specifications, Intel® Server Chassis SR1400 Technical Product Specifications,
Intel® Server Chassis SR1450 Technical Product Specification, and the Intel® Server Chassis SR2400
Technical Product Specifications (Order Numbers C78844-002, C78846-001, D11535-001, and C78845-

001). It is intended for hardware system manufacturers and software developers of applications,
operating systems, or tools. It will contain specification changes, specification clarifications, errata, and
document changes.
Refer to the Intel® Xeon™ Processor Specification Update (Document Number 249678-029) for
specification updates concerning the Xeon™ processor. Items contained in the Xeon™ Processor
Specification Update that either do not apply to the Intel® Server board SE7520JR2 or have been
worked around are noted in this document. Otherwise, it should be assumed that any processor errata
for a given stepping are applicable to the Printed Board Assembly (PBA) revisions(s) associated with that
stepping.

1 Nomenclature

- Specification Changes are modifications to the current published specifications for the Intel®

Server Board SE7520JR2, Intel® Server Chassis SR1400, SR1450, and SR2400. These
changes will be incorporated in a future release of the given document.

- Specification Clarifications describe a specification in greater detail or further highlight a

specification’s impact to a complex design situation. These clarifications will be incorporated in a
future release of the given document.

- Documentation Changes include typos, errors, or omissions from documents that are

currently published. These documents may include Product Specs and Users Guides. These
changes will be incorporated in a future release of the given document.

- Errata are design defects or errors. Errata may cause the Intel® Server Board SE7520JR2,

Intel® Server Chassis SR1400, SR1450, and SR2400 behavior to deviate from published
specifications. Hardware and software designed to be used with any given processor stepping
must assume that all errata documented for that processor stepping are present on all devices.
