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 SR1520ML 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.

installed in it. Each server board operates as a fully functioning server system with it’s
own control panel, BIOS setup configuration, processor, memory, drives, add-in card,
keyboard/mouse, and video monitor. These items are not shared by the two server boards.
The two server boards share the chassis and power supply.
Since the server boards function independently, the processor and DIMM rules apply to
each board independently. The two server boards do not need to use identical processors
or DIMMs.

SATA RAID Support
The Intel® Server System SR1520ML provides SATA (3.0 Gb/s) support.The embedded
SATA controller embedded supports both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer rates. The Intel
RAID Technology solution, available with the ICH9R, offers data striping for higher
performance (RAID Level 0) and mirroring for higher reliability (RAID Level 1).
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
ATA Controller setup page, some of which affect the ability to configure RAID. The
“Onboard SATA Controller” option is enabled by default. When this option is enabled, the
“Configure SATA as” option can be set to either IDE, AHCI, or RAID.
For assistance in navigating through the F2 BIOS Setup utility, see the IntelBoard X38ML Technical Product Specification.
For information about setting up RAID, see the RAID Software Guide that is included on
the Intel
®
Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD.

Intel® Server System SR1520ML User’s Guide11
Page 32
Processor
Memory
Each server board must have one processor installed. Each board can use a different
processor. For a list of supported processors, see http://support.intel/com/support/
motherboards/server/X38ML.
Each server supports four DDR2 667 / 800 MHz unbuffered ECC DIMMs. The maximum
memory capacity is 2 GB unbuffered, 1 Gbit DDR2 memory. The minimum is one 256MB DIMM. The four slots are partitioned into Channel A and Channel B. Channel A
consists of DIMM A1 and DIMM A2. Channel Bconsists of DIMM B1 and DIMM B2.
DIMM A1 is the closest to the MCH.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
•If dual-channel operation is desired, Channel A and Channel B must be populated
identically (i.e., same capacity)
•Use DDR2 667 / 800 only.
•The speed used on all the channels is the slowest DIMM in the system
•Use ECC or non-ECC DIMMs
•You can mix different memory technologies (size and density)
•For single-channel mode, either channel may be used and DIMM sockets within the
same channel can be populated in any order
•For dual-channel interleaved mode, DIMM sockets may be populated in any order
as long as the total memory in each channel is the same.
•For dual-channel asymmetric mode, DIMM sockets may be populated in any order.
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see http://support.intel/com/support/
motherboards/server/X38ML.

cord from the system or wall outlet.
Intel® Server System SR1520ML User’s Guide29
Page 50
The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMMB2, DIMMB1, DIMMA2,
DIMMA1 starting from the edge of the board. DIMMA1 is the socket closest to the
processor socket. See “Memory” on page 12 for a discussion of the memory requirements
and options. See “Server System References” on page xix for a link to the list of tested
DIMMs.
Memory Population Rules
Each server board in the Intel® Server System SR1520ML provides four DIMM sockets
across two banks. For each server board, Bank 1 consists of DIMM sockets A1 and B1.
Bank 2 consists of DIMM sockets A2 and B2. For single-channel operation, either
channel may be used and DIMM sockets within the same channel can be populated in any
order. For dual-channel asymetric mode, DIMM sockets may be populated in any order.
DIMMs must meet the following requirements:
•The minimum memory is one 256 MB DIMM in socket A1 on each server board.
Socket A1 is the blue socket that is the closest to the senter of the server board. This
provides single-channel mode for each server board,
•Use only DIMMs with DDR2 DRAM technology.
•Use only DDR2-667 and DDR2-800 stacked DIMM modules. The speed used on all
channels is that of the slowest DIMM on the server board.
For dual-channel operation, the following conditions must be met:
•Populate two identical DIMMs in sockets DIMMA1 and DIMM B1. These are the
two blue sockets
•Populate four identical DIMMs in each socket location.
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see http://support.intel/com/support/

Using the BIOS Setup Utility
This section describes the BIOS Setup Utility options, which is used to change server
configuration defaults. You can run BIOS Setup with or without an operating system
being present. See Table 1 on page xix for a link to the Technical Product Specification
where you will find details about specific BIOS setup screens.
Starting Setup
You can enter and start BIOS Setup under several conditions:
•When you turn on the server, after POST completes the memory test.
•When you have moved the CMOS jumper on the server board to the "Clear CMOS"
position (enabled).
In the two conditions listed above, during the Power On Self Test (POST), you will see
this prompt:
Press <F2> to enter SETUP
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM has been corrupted, you will see other
prompts but not the <F2> prompt:
Warning: CMOS checksum invalid
Warning: CMOS time and date not set
In this condition, the BIOS will load default values for CMOS and attempt to boot.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you are not able to access BIOS Setup, you might need to clear the CMOS memory. For
instructions on clearing the CMOS, see "Clearing the CMOS".
Setup Menus
Each BIOS Setup menu page contains a number of features. Except for those features that
are provided only to display automatically configured information, each feature is
associated with a value field that contains user-selectable parameters. These parameters
can be changed if the user has adequate security rights. If a value cannot be changed for
any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.

Page 80
Obtaining the Upgrade
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See Table 1 on
page xix for a link to the update software.
Note: Review the instructions and release notes that are provided in the readme file distributed
with the BIOS image file before attempting a BIOS upgrade. The release notes contain
critical information regarding jumper settings, specific fixes, or other information to
complete the upgrade.
Upgrading the BIOS
Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade. When the
update completes, remove the bootable media from which you performed the upgrade.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process! The system will reset
automatically when the BIOS update process is completed.
Note: You may encounter a CMOS Checksum error or other problem after reboot. If this
happens, shut down the system and boot it again. CMOS checksum errors require that you
enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.

Performing an iBMC Force Update
When performing a standard iBMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places
the iBMC into an update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device.
In the unlikely event that the iBMC firmware update process fails because the iBMC not
in the proper update state, the server board provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J3A1)
that will force the iBMC into the proper update state. The following procedure should be
following if the standard iBMC firmware update process fails.
1. Power down the system and disconnect the AC power.
2. Open the server.
3. Move the J3A1 iBMC Force Update jumper from the default position, covering
pins 1 and 2 to the Write Enable position, covering pins 2 and 3 as indicated in the

5. Perform the standard iBMC firmware update procedure as documented in
README.TXT file that is included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.
6. After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update
utility may generate an error stating that the iBMC is still in update mode.
7. Power down and remove AC power.
8. Open the server and move the jumper from the “enabled” position (pins 2-3) to the
“disabled” position (pins 1-2).
9. Close the server system and reconnect AC power and power up the server.
10. Normal iBMC functionality is disabled when the force BMC update jumper is set to
the “enabled” position. The server should never be run with the BMC force update
jumper set in this position and should only be used when the standard firmware
update process fails. This jumper should remain in the default, disabled position
when the server is running normally.
Intel® Server System SR1520ML User’s Guide65
Page 86
Using the iBMC Boot Block Write Protect Jumper (J1A4)
The iBMC boot block write protect jumper (J1A4) is protection for the boot block portion
of the iBMC firmware. The default position of the jumper is covering pins 1-2. This
protects the boot block from being written to during an iBMC firmware update. In most
cases there is no need to update the boot block. Most update utilities are not built with the
authority to access this section of code.
In the unlikely event that the boot block must be written to, the J1A4 jumper must be
moved to cover pins 2-3 to enable the update. Once the update is complete and the system
is turned off, always remember to reposition the jumper back to ‘write-protect’ mode,
covering pins pins 1-2.
Note: The boot block is a critical section of the IBMC firmware that contains code to initialize
the iBMC hardware. If this flash area becomes corrupted, then the iBMC may be rendered
useless and inoperable. For this reason jumper protection is applied to this area of the
flash so a user does not mistakenly write to this boot block.

The power button on the system does not turn off system AC
power. To remove AC power from the system, you must unplug
each AC power cord from the wall outlet or power supply.
The power cord(s) is considered the disconnect device to the main
(AC) power. The socket outlet that the system plugs into shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to
access the inside of the system, follow these steps:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button.
3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall
outlets.

After you have completed the six SAFETY steps above, you can
remove the system covers. To do this:
1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system
if a padlock has been installed.
2. Remove and save all screws from the covers.
3. Remove the cover(s).
For proper cooling and airflow, always reinstall the chassis covers
before turning on the system. Operating the system without the
covers in place can damage system parts. To install the covers:
1. Check first to make sure you have not left loose tools or parts
inside the system.
2. Check that cables, add-in boards, and other components are
properly installed.
3. Attach the covers to the chassis with the screws removed
earlier, and tighten them firmly.
4. Insert and lock the padlock to the system to prevent
unauthorized access inside the system.
5. Connect all external cables and the AC power cord(s) to the
system.
