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 v endor 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.

RAID Support
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB provides an integrated SATA II host controller that
supports independent DMA operation on the six Ports and supports data transfer rates of
up to 3.0 Gb/Sec.
The ICH10R provides support for Intel
AHCI and integrated RAID functionality. The industry-leading RAID capability provides
high-performance RAID 0, 1, 5 and 10 functionality on up to six SATA ports.
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
Mass Storage Controller Configuration 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 “SATA Mode” option can be set to ENHANCED mode,
COMPATIBILITY mode, AHCI mode or SW RAID mode. The modes affect the
configuration as follows:
•ENHANCED mode supports up to six SATA ports with IDE Native Mode.
•COMPATIBILITY mode supports up to four SATA ports[0/1/2/3] with IDE Legacy
mode and 2 SATA ports[4/5] with IDE Native Mode.
•AHCI mode supports all SATA ports using the Advanced Host Controller Interface
when the option is enabled.
®
Matrix Storage Technology, providing both
Note: For AHCI capability in EFI, the AHCI legacy Option ROM should be set to “disabled”.
•SW RAID mode supports configuration of SATA ports for RAID via RAID
configuration software.
For RAID 0, 1, and 10, enclosure management is provided through the SATA_SGPIO
connector on the server board when a cable is attached between this connector on the
server board and to the backplane or I2C interface.

Processor
Memory
The Intel® Server System SR1690WB supports one or two Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500
series and Intel
®
Xeon® Processor 5600 series with 95W Thermal Design Power (TDP) or
less and with a max data transfer rate of 6.4 GT/s. For a complete list of supported
processors, see the links under “Server System References”.
The Intel® Server System SR1690WB supports a DDR3-based memory subsystem. The
®
Server System SR1690WB supports two DIMMs per channel. The silkscreen on
Intel
the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM_A1, DIMM_A2, DIMM_B1, DIMM_B2,
DIMM_D1, DIMM_D2, DIMM_E1, DIMM_E2. See Figure 11. The minimal memory
population possible is DIMM_A1.
Figure 11. DIMM Configuration Diagram
For two slots per channel configurations, the server board requires DDR3 DIMMs within
a channel to be populated starting with the DIMM farthest from the processor. See the
following figure (Figure 12).
For a complete list of supported memory DIMMs, see the links under “Server System
References”.
Intel® Server System SR1690WB Service Guide21
Page 40
Figure 12. Channel Slots Configuration
The Independent Channel Mode is the default Maximum Performance Mode preferred for
®
Xeon® Processor 5500 series and Intel® Xeon® Processor 5600 series based
Intel
platforms. All three channels may be populated in any order and have no matching
requirements. All channels must run at the same interface frequency, but individual
channels may run at different DIMM timings (RAS latency, CAS latency, and so forth).
Memory Sparing and Mirroring
The spare mode is not supported by Intel® Server System SR1690WB.
With memory mirroring, the system maintains two copies of all data in the memory
subsystem. If a DIMM fails, the data is not lost because the second copy of the data is
available from the mirrored DIMM in the opposite channel. The system will not fail due
to memory error unless both the primary and the mirrored copy of the data become corrupt
at the same time.
In a mirrored system, the maximum usable memory is one-half of the installed memory,
with a minimum of two DIMMs installed. Since the data is duplicated across DIMMs, it
means that up to one-half of the installed DIMMs are actively in use at any one time. The
remaining DIMMs are used for mirroring.

See the Intel® Server System S5500WB Technical Product Specification for additional
information regarding the memory sub-system.
Power Supply
TThe Power supply in SR1690WB system provides 650W at maximum. The power
supply must provide a minimum of 2.6 A of 5V standby current or the board will not boot.
Optional Hardware
Intel® RAID Activation Key
If RAID 5 is needed, you can install the optional Intel® RAID Activation Key
AXXRAKSW5. To enable RAID 5, this activation key is placed on the SATA Key
connector located at the left side of the server board. For information on how to install the
®
RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 accessory to enable RAID 5, see the
Intel
documentation that is included with the accessory kit.
Intel® Remote Management Module 3
The RMM3 advanced management board serves two purposes. The first is to give the
customer the option to add a dedicated management 100-Mbit LAN interface to the
product. The second is to give additional flash space, enabling the Advanced Management
functions to support WS-MAN and CIMOM. The RMM3 comes with a third 10/100GbE

4Server 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 the BIOS Setup with or without an operating system
being present. See “Server System References” for a link to the Intel
S5500WB Technical Product Specification where you can 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
®
Server Board
In a third condition, when CMOS/NVRAM is 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 loads default values for CMOS and attempts to boot.
If You Cannot Access Setup
If you cannot 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. If a user has
adequate security rights, they can change these parameters. If a value cannot be changed
for any reason, the feature's value field is inaccessible.

Obtaining the Upgrade
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See “Server
System References” for a link to the update software.
Note: Review the instructions and release notes 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
Download the BIOS image file to a temporary folder on your hard drive. See “Server
System References” for a link to the update software.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process! The system resets
automatically when the BIOS upgrade process completes. Doing so may corrupt the
system BIOS.
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.
Clearing the CMOS
If you cannot access the BIOS setup screens, you must use the CMOS Clear jumper to
reset the configuration RAM. The CMOS Clear jumper is located on jumper block at J1B4
on the server board.
1. Power down the system; do not disconnect the AC power.
2. Open the server.
3. Move the jumper from the normal operation position, at pins 1 and 2 to the CMOS
Clear Force Erase position, covering pins 2 and 3.

In the space below, provide a complete description of the steps used to reproduce the
problem or a complete description of where the problem can be found. Please also include
any details on troubleshooting already done.
During the system boot process, the BIOS executes a number of platform configuration
processes, each of which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each
configuration routine is started, the BIOS displays the POST code to the POST Code
Diagnostic LEDs on the back edge of the server board. To assist in troubleshooting a
system hang during the POST process, the Diagnostic LEDs can be used to identify the
last POST process that was executed.
Each POST code is represented by the Eight amber Diagnostic LEDs. The POST codes
are divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. The upper nibble bits are
represented by Diagnostic LEDs #4, #5, #6, #7. The lower nibble bits are represented by
Diagnostics LEDs #0, #1, #2 and #3. Given the bit is set in the upper and lower nibbles,
then corresponding LED is lit. If the bit is clear, corresponding LED is off.
The Diagnostic LED #7 is labeled as “MSB”, and the Diagnostic LED #0 is labeled with
“LSB”.
