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 nonoperating limits.

2.2.2 Installing the Processor Heatsink
You must install the processor before installing the heatsink.
Hardware Setup
Improper installation can damage the heatsink. Pay close attention to the steps and
perform each step exactly as indicated to avoid damage.
The heatsink has Thermal Interface Material (TIM) located on the bottom of it. Use caution
when you unpack the heatsink so you do not damage the TIM.
New unused heatsinks have adequate TIM on the bottom. If you are reusing a heatsink,
make sure there is adequate TIM present on the heatsink to support processor cooling.
To install the heatsink, follows these steps:
1. Remove the protective film on the TIM if present.
2. Orient the heatsink over the processor as shown. You must position the heatsink fins
as shown (Figure 18) to provide correct airflow through the system.
3. Set the heatsink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four
posts surrounding the processor.
4. Loosely screw in the captive screws on the heatsink corners in a diagonal manner
according to the numbers shown (Figure 18) as follows:
a. Starting with the screw at location 1, engage the screw threads by giving it two
rotations in the clockwise direction and stop. (IMPORTANT: Do not fully tighten.)
b. Proceed to the screw at location 2 and engage the screw threads by giving it two
rotations and stop.
c. Engage screws at locations 3 and 4 by giving each screw two rotations and then
stop.
5. Repeat steps 4a through 4c by giving each screw two rotations each time until all
screws are lightly tightened up to a maximum of 8 inch-pounds torque.

2.3 System Memory
2.3.1 Overview
Each installed server node supports twelve (12) DDR3 DIMM sockets—six for each
installed processor.
NOTE: You should only install memory in DIMM sockets DIMM_D1 through DIMM_F2 when
dual processors are installed on a given server node. On a given server node, DIMM sockets
DIMM_D1 through DIMM_F2 are not enabled in single processor configurations.
The following figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM sockets.

Hardware Setup
Figure 20. DDR3 DIMM Sockets Location
2.3.2 Memory Support
Supported memory follows the DDR3 specification and meets the following characteristics:
800 MHz, 1066 MHz or 1333 MHz operating frequencies
Single-rank (SR), dual-rank (DR), and quad-rank (QR)
Registered DIMM (RDIMM) or Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM)
RDIMMs must be ECC only
UDIMMs can be ECC or non-ECC and can be mixed within a common
configuration
The Channel Independent mode is the only memory RAS mode that supports
non-ECC DIMMs.
The presence of a single non-ECC UDIMM results in the disabling of ECC
functionality.
RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed within a common system memory
configuration
The following table shows the maximum memory amounts using RDIMM type memory:

NOTE: Due to thermal requirements needed to support Quad Rank x4 DDR3 DIMMs, the Intel®
Server System SR1670HV does not support this memory type.
16 Intel
®
Server System SR1670HV Service Guide
Page 32
2.3.2.1.1 Memory Population Rules
DIMM population requirements are dependent upon the number of slots per channel;
number of DIMMs installed; and rank type. When installing memory, consider the
following:
Populate DIMMs by channel starting with the blue slot farthest from the CPU.
All channels in a system will run at the fastest common frequency.
RDIMMs and UDIMMs cannot be mixed.
If two 1333 MHz-capable UDIMMs or RDIMMs is detected in the same channel, the
BIOS will flag this as a warning and force the speed down to 1066 MHz.

With two processors installed, the system will operate only if the DIMM slots of one
processor are populated. In this case, memory is shared between the two processors.
However, due to the associated latency of this configuration, this is NOT a recommended
operating mode.
You can find additional technical information for the memory sub-system in the Technical
Product Specification (TPS).
2.3.3 Installing a DIMM
CAUTION
Before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components, you
must unplug the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe
damage to both the server board and the components.
1. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward.
2. Align a DIMM on the socket so the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the

7. Embedded SATA RAID
This section provides an overview of the SATA Software RAID options embedded on the
server board. It describes how to enable the RAID feature and configure RAID sets using
either of the two SW RAID Configuration Utilities. For more in-depth RAID information
including definitions, setup, and support, refer to the respective SATA SW RAID Users
Guides included on the System Resource CD, or download them from the following Intel
website:
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SR1670HV/
7.1 Selecting a RAID option
Embedded on the server board are options to support either of two SATA Software RAID
options:
LSI* SATA Software RAID (default) with support for RAID levels 0, 1, and 10 with drivers
to support both Linux* and Microsoft Windows* operating systems.
®
Intel
Matrix Storage Manager with support for RAID levels 0, 1, 10, and 5 with drivers to
support Microsoft Windows* operating systems only.
By default, the server board is configured to support the LSI SATA Software RAID option.
To change options, you must move a jumper block on the server board. The following
diagram shows the location of the jumper block and its settings.

7.2 Enabling RAID in the BIOS Setup
By default, the BIOS does not enable RAID support. To enable this feature, you must set
an option in the BIOS setup as described in the following procedure:
1. Enter the BIOS Setup (F2 Key) during POST.
2. Go to the MAIN menu, select IDE Configuration and press <Enter>
3. Set the Configure SATA As option to [RAID].
4. Save your changes and then exit BIOS Setup.
7.3 SATA RAID Setup
Depending on which SATA Software RAID option the server board is configured for, one
of two embedded SATA RAID configuration utilities are used to configure hard disk drives
to a RAID Set.
LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility – <CNTRL M>
®
Intel
Matrix Storage Manager Utility – <CNTRL I>
Access to these utilities is achieved by entering the respective Hot-Key sequence when
prompted during system POST.
TIP
To better access the RAID Configuration Utilities during POST, it is
recommended to have the Full Screen Logo option set to Disabled.
This option is located in the following BIOS Setup menu: Boot > Boot
Settings Configuration.
7.3.1 LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility
NOTE: Follow the procedures in this section only if the server board is configured to support the
LSI* SATA Software RAID option. Otherwise, refer to the section describing the Intel® Matrix
Storage Manager Utility.
This section provides an overview of how to setup a RAID set using SATA hard disk drives
attached to the on-board SATA ports of the server board. For more in-depth information
describing features and options of the LSI Software RAID Configuration Utility and other
RAID support utilities, refer to the LSI* MegaRAID Configuration Software Users Guide
included on the System Resource CD.
7.3.1.1 Accessing the LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility
To access the LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility
1. Power on the system. During POST, the LSI* MegaRAID option ROM automatically
detects installed SATA hard disk drives and displays any existing RAID set(s).
2. Press the <Ctrl> + <M> hot-keys together to access the RAID configuration utility.

7.3.1.2 Configuring a RAID Set
The LSI* Software RAID Configuration Utility allows you to create a RAID 0, RAID 1, or
RAID 10 set using either of two options from the Configuration Menu: Easy and New.
Both options allow you to configure parameters for the RAID Set being created. The
difference between the two is the New Configuration gives you the additional option to
define the size and number of virtual drives to create within each RAID Set.
Use the following process to create a RAID set:
1. Select either the Easy Configuration or NEW Configuration from the Configuration
Menu and press <Enter>.
