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.

Warnings
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.
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.

Before working with your server product, pay close attention to the “Safety Information”
at the beginning of this manual.
Tools and Supplies Needed
• Phillips* (cross head) screwdriver (#1 bit and #2 bit)
• Needle nosed pliers
• Antistatic wrist strap and conductive foam pad (recommended)
System References
All references to left, right, front, top, and bottom assume the reader is facing the front of
the server system as it would be positioned for normal operation.
Removing and Installing from a Rack
Three Intel® rack options are available to install the Intel® Server System SR1550AL in a
rack. The options are the fixed bracket kit, the basic rail kit, and the tool-less rail kit. Only
the tool-less rail kit allows you to service the server system while installed in a rack. The
other rack options require the system to be removed from the rack before servicing.
Note: Follow all safety guidelines while removing a system from a rack to avoid injury.
Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Removal
1. Disconnect all cables from the back of the system.
Note: Remember to use the system LED to properly identify the system you are servicing.
2. Remove screws from the brackets and remove the system from the rack.
Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Installation
1. Fully extend a rail assembly; the finger tab for the extension lock is revealed.
2. Press the finger tab and slide the inside rail from the middle rail until it completely
separates.
Note: The middle rail and outer rail cannot be separated.
3. Position an inside rail along one side of the chassis with the finger tab facing
outward and located closer to the rear of the chassis.
4. Align the holes in the rail with the tabs on the chassis and place the rail against the
chassis.
5. Slide the rail as far as it will go toward the front of the chassis to engage the tabs.
6. Fasten the rail to the chassis using one screw at the front of the chassis.
7. In the same manner, attach the other inside rail to the other side of the chassis
8. Using two screws, attach one nut bar to the inside of the rack post. Do not
completely tighten the screws; leave them loose enough to allow insertion of the
brackets in the next step.
9. Insert the slotted foot of a rail bracket between each nut bar and post.
10. Align the face of the bracket foot with the inside edge of the rack post and firmly
tighten the screws.
11. Repeat steps 8 to 10 above to install the other 3 brackets (2 front & 2 back). Ensure
all brackets are at the same height on the rack.
12. Position a rail assembly (middle and outer rails) with its black plastic end caps
toward the rear of the rack and its outer rail closest to the brackets.
13. Align the front screw hole in the outer rail with the threaded hole nearest the front
of the front bracket and fit the rail assembly into the front and rear brackets.
14. Slide the middle rail toward the front until the access hole in the middle rail is
aligned with the front screw hole in the outer rail.
15. Insert screw through the access hole and loosely attach the outer rail to the front
bracket.
16. In a similar manner to steps 13 through 15, install a screw through a slot in the outer
rail and into the rear-most threaded hole in the front bracket. Firmly tighten this
screw.
17. Firmly tighten the front screw installed loosely in step 15.
18. In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.
19. Slide the middle rail toward the front until the rear bracket area is accessible.
20. Attach the rear end of the outer rail to the rear bracket with at least one screw. If
possible, attach at two places.
21. In the same manner, attach the other rail assembly to the other side.
22 Intel® Server System SR1550AL/SR1550ALSAS User’s Guide
22. Fully extend the left and right rails until the extension locks have engaged and the
rails will not push back in. The rail system is now ready to receive the chassis.
Caution: Lifting and placing the chassis in the rails is a two-person job. If needed, use an
appropriate lifting device.
23. With the chassis front facing you, lift the chassis and carefully insert the rails
attached to the chassis in the extended rails.
24. Slide the chassis toward the rear of the cabinet until the rails lock together.
25. Depress and hold down the finger tabs on both extension locks while sliding the
chassis toward the rear.
26. Slide the chassis all the way into the rack until the chassis handles are against the
front posts.

4 Server Utilities
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 “Server System References” for a link to the Intel
Chipsets Server Board Family Datasheet 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
®
5000 Series
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.
“Setup Menu Key Use” describes the keyboard commands you can use in the BIOS Setup
menus.
Table 4. Setup Menu Key Use
Key to Press Description
<F1> Pressing <F1> on any menu invokes the general help window.
Left and right arrows The left and right arrow keys are used to move between the major menu
pages. The keys have no affect if a submenu or pick list is displayed.
Up arrow Select Item up - The up arrow is used to select the previous value in a
menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key
activates the selected item.
Down arrow Select Item down - The down arrow is used to select the next value in a
menu item's option list, or a value field pick list. Pressing the <Enter> key
activates the selected item.
<F5> or <-> Change Value - The minus key or the <F5> function key is used to
change the value of the current item to the previous value. This key
scrolls through the values in the associated pick list without displaying
the full list.
<F6> or <+> Change Value - The plus key or the <F6> function key is used to change
the value of the current menu item to the next value. This key scrolls
through the values in the associated pick list without displaying the full
list. On 106-key Japanese keyboards, the plus key has a different scan
code than the plus key on the other keyboard, but it has the same effect.
<Enter> Execute Command - The <Enter> key is used to activate submenus
when the selected feature is a submenu, or to display a pick list if a
selected feature has a value field, or to select a sub-field for multi-valued
features like time and date. If a pick list is displayed, the <Enter> key will
undo the pick list, and allow another selection in the parent menu.
<Esc> Exit - The <Esc> key provides a mechanism for backing out of any field.
<F9> Setup Defaults - Pressing <F9> causes the following to appear:
This key will undo the pressing of the <Enter> key. When the <Esc> key
is pressed while editing any field or selecting features of a menu, the
parent menu is re-entered. When the <Esc> key is pressed in any
submenu, the parent menu is re-entered. When the <Esc> key is
pressed in any major menu, the exit confirmation window is displayed
and the user is asked whether changes can be discarded.
Setup Confirmation
Load default configuration now?
[Yes] [No]
If "Yes" is selected and the <Enter> key is pressed, all Setup fields are
set to their default values. If "No" is selected and the <Enter> key is
pressed, or if the <Esc> key is pressed, the user is returned to where
they were before <F9> was pressed without affecting any existing field
values.
