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.

Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information（《Intel
服务器主板与服务器机箱安全信息》）。
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.
iv Intel® 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.

Preface
About this Manual
Thank you for purchasing and using the Intel® Server System SR1520ML.
This manual is written for system technicians who are responsible for troubleshooting,
upgrading, and repairing this server system. This document provides reference
information, feature information, and step by step instructions on how to add and replace
components on the server system. For the latest version of this manual, see http://
support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/
Manual Organization
Chapter 1 provides an overview of the server system. In this chapter, you will find a list of
the server system features, illustrations of the product, and product diagrams to help you
identify components and their locations.
X38ML/.
Chapter 2 provides instructions on adding and replacing components. Use this chapter for
step-by-step instructions and diagrams for installing or replacing components such as the
fans, power supply, drives, and other components.
Chapter 3 provides instructions on using the utilities that are shipped with the board or
that may be required to update the system. This includes how to navigate through the
BIOS Setup screens, how to perform a BIOS update, and how to reset the password or
CMOS. Information about the specific BIOS settings and screens is available in the
Technical Product Specifications for the server board and chassis. See Table 1 on page xix
for a link to the Technical Product Specifications.
At the back of this manual, you will find technical specifications, troubleshooting tips,
regulatory information, complete safety information, “getting help” information, and the

1 Server System Features
This chapter briefly describes the main features of the server system. It provides product
illustrations, a list of the server system features, and diagrams that show the location of
important components and connections.

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.
