The Intel® Server Chassis SR2500 is a 2U server chassis that is designed to support the Intel®
Server Board S5000PAL. The server board and the chassis have features that are designed to
support the high-density server market. This chapter provides a high-level overview of the
chassis features. Greater detail for each major chassis component or feature is provided in the
following chapters.
The chassis differs from previous generation products in that the majority of cables have been
removed from the system and in their place are a series of board-to-board interconnects. The
benefits of using board-to-board interconnects are simplification of platform integration and
improved airflow for more reliable cooling.
A second significant change from the previous generation is the introduction of the mid-plane
circuit board. There are two options for the mid-plane circuit board: the first option provides
SAS RAID support. The second option is a passive SATA/SAS mid-plane that can be used with
either the SATA only connectors from the server board, or SATA/SAS connectors from an addin card.

2.2 Single Power Supply Module Population
In single power module configurations, server management firmware requires that the power
supply module be populated in the top power module slot. The non-operating slot must have
the power supply blank installed.
AF000023
Figure 14. Power Supply Blank
Configuring a single power supply module in the bottom location will cause the server
management firmware and BIOS to generate a system error during POST and the error will be
reported to the System Event Log (SEL).
2.3 Handle and Retention Mechanism
Each power supply module includes a handle for module insertion to or removal from the
module enclosure. Each module has a simple retention mechanism to hold the power module
in place once it is inserted. This mechanism will withstand the specified platform mechanical
shock and vibration requirements. The tab on the retention mechanism is colored green
to
indicate it is a hot-swap touch point. The latch mechanism is designed to prevent insertion or
removal of the module with the power cord plugged in. This will aid the hot-swapping procedure.
2.4 Hot-swap Support
Hot-swapping a power supply module is the process of extracting and re-inserting a power
supply module from an operating power system. During this process the output voltages shall
remain within specified limits. Up to two power supply modules may be on a single AC line.
The power supply module can be hot-swapped by the method listed below.
Extraction: on removal, the power cord is unplugged first, and then the power module is
removed. This can be done in standby mode or power-on mode.
Insertion: The module is inserted first, and then the power cord is plugged in. If powered off, the
system and the power supply will power on into standby mode or power-on mode.

2.8.3 AC Line Dropout / Holdup
An AC line dropout is defined to be when the AC input drops to 0VAC at any phase of the AC
line for any length of time. During an AC dropout of one cycle or less the power supply must
meet dynamic voltage regulation requirements over the rated load. If the AC dropout lasts
longer than one cycle the power supply should recover and meet all turn-on requirements. The
power supply must meet the AC dropout requirement over rated AC voltages, frequencies, and
output loading conditions. Any dropout of the AC line shall not cause damage to the power
supply.
20ms Min when tested under the following conditions: Max combined load = 525W,
12ms Min when tested under the following conditions: Max combined load = 750W
2.8.4 AC Line 5 VSB Holdup
The 5VSB output voltage should stay in regulation under its full load (static or dynamic) during
an AC dropout of 70ms min (=5VSB holdup time) whether the power supply is in ON or OFF
state (PSON asserted or de-asserted).

2.8.5 AC Inrush
AC line inrush current shall not exceed 40A peak for up to one-quarter of the AC cycle, after
which, the input current should be no more than the specified maximum input current. The peak
inrush current shall be less than the ratings of its critical components (including input fuse, bulk
rectifiers, and surge limiting device).
The power supply must meet the inrush requirements for any rated AC voltage, during turn on at
any phase of AC voltage, during a single cycle AC dropout condition as well as upon recovery
after AC dropout of any duration, and over the specified temperature range (T
). It is
op
acceptable that AC line inrush current may reach up to 60A peak for up to 1 msec.
2.9 Protection Circuits
Protection circuits inside the PDB and the power supply shall cause the power supply’s main
+12V output to shut down, or shall cause a shut down of any of the three outputs on the PDB.
Either of these shutdowns will result in shutting down the entire power supply / PDB
combination. If the power supply latches off due to a protection circuit tripping, an AC cycle
OFF for 15 seconds shall be able to reset the power supply and the PDB.
2.9.1 Over-Current Protection (OCP)
Each DC/DC converter output on the PDB shall have individual OCP protection circuits. The
power supply and power distribution board (PS and PDB) shall shutdown and latch off after an
over-current condition occurs. This latch shall be cleared by an AC power interruption. The
following table provides the over-current limits. The values are measured at the PDB harness
connectors. The DC/DC converters shall not be damaged from repeated power cycling in this
condition. The +12V output from the power supply is divided on the PDB into four channels
and each is limited to 240VA of power. There shall be current sensors and limit circuits to shut
down the entire PS and PDB if the limit is exceeded. The limits are listed below.
Output Voltage MIN OCP TRIP LIMITS MAX OCP TRIP LIMITS
+3.3V 110% min (= 26.4A min) 150% max (= 36A max)

3. Cooling Sub-System
Several components and configuration requirements make up the cooling sub-system of the
chassis. These include the system fan module, the power supply fans, air baffles, CPU air duct,
and drive bay population. All are necessary to provide and regulate the air flow and air pressure
needed to maintain the system’s thermals when operating at or below maximum specified
thermal limits. See Table 54. System Environmental Limits.
Two system fan assembly options are available for this chassis. The first option is a nonredundant three fan solution providing sufficient airflow to maintain internal system thermal
requirements when the external ambient temperature remains within specified limits. The
second option is a redundant fan solution. Three parallel sets of fans are arranged in series to
provide redundant cooling in the event of a single fan failure. Each cooling option utilizes two
fan types: a 60mm variable speed fan and an 80mm variable speed fan.
The chassis uses a variable fan speed control engine to provide adequate cooling for the
system at various ambient temperature conditions, under various server workloads, and with the
least amount of acoustic noise possible. The fans operate at the lowest speed for any given
condition in order to minimize acoustics. The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)
integrated on the Intel
function. The controller monitors selective component temperatures and the ambient
temperature, as well as each fan’s RPM to determine the necessary airflow. The BMC sets the
fan speeds to the appropriate RPM in order to maintain proper cooling. The BMC controller will
also log errors into the System Event Log (SEL) when temperature sensors exceed their safe
operating ranges, or if any of the fans fail to operate at safe airflow speeds. In the event of a
fan failure, the BMC will boost the remaining fans to compensate for the lost air flow. A chassis
with redundant fans can continue to operate in this degraded condition while the non-redundant
chassis may not. If the cooling is not sufficient under a failed fan condition, the system will
eventually shutdown to protect itself from thermal damage.

The system fan module has been designed for ease of use and has support for several
management features that can be utilized by the server board management system.
•The fan module houses two different fan sizes. System fans 1 and 2 use an 80mm fan,
while system fan 3 uses a 60mm fan.
•Each fan is designed for tool-less insertion to or removal from the fan module housing.
Note: The fans are NOT hot-swappable. The system must be turned off in order to
replace a failed fan.
•Each fan within the module is capable of supporting multiple speeds. If the internal
ambient temperature of the system exceeds the value programmed into the thermal
sensor data record (SDR), the BMC firmware will increase the speed for all the fans
within the fan module.
•Each fan connector within the module supplies a tachometer signal that allows the BMC
to monitor the status of each fan. If one of the fans should fail, the remaining fans will
increase their rotation and attempt to maintain the thermal requirements of the system.

3.3 Air Flow Support
To control airflow within the system, the chassis uses an air baffle and a CPU air duct to isolate
and direct airflow to three critical zones: the power supply zone, the full height PCI riser zone,
and the CPU/memory/low profile PCI riser zone.
3.3.1 Power Supply Zone
An air baffle is used to isolate the air flow of the main system board zones from the zone directly
behind the power supply. As the power supply fans pull pre-heated air through the power
supply from inside the chassis, the zone behind it must remain as cool as possible by drawing
air from the leftmost drive bays only.
3.3.2 Full Height Riser Zone
The full height riser zone is the area between the power supply assembly and the full height
riser card of the riser assembly. The air flow through this area is generated by system fan 3 of
the fan module in a non-redundant fan configuration. In a redundant fan configuration, the air
flow for this zone is provided by system fans 5 and 6. Air is drawn from the drive bay area
through the fan and pushed out of the system through ventilation holes the back side of the
chassis.
Revision – 1.6

Intel order number D31980-009
2BCooling Sub-System Intel® Server System SR2500AL
3.3.3 CPU / Memory / Low Profile PCI Zone
The CPU / memory / low profile PCI zone is the area between the low profile riser card of the
riser assembly and the right chassis wall. In a non-redundant fan configuration, the air flow for
this zone is generated by system fans 1 and 2 of the fan module. In a redundant fan
configuration, the air flow for this zone is provided by system fans 1, 2, 3 and 4. Air is drawn
from the drive bay area, through the fans, directed through the CPU air duct, and out through
ventilation holes on both the back wall and rear side wall of the chassis.
The CPU air duct is used to direct air flow through the processor heat sinks for both single and
dual processor configurations. For single processor configurations, a flexible air baffle is
attached to the air duct as shown in the following diagram.
AF000048
Figure 19. CPU Air Duct with Air Baffle
Operating a single processor configuration without the air baffle installed will result in the
processor over heating and may cause the system to shutdown.
3.4 Drive Bay Population
To maintain the proper air pressure within the system, all hard drive bays must be populated
with either a hard drive, or drive blank.

The chassis incorporates several design changes from the previous generation Intel 2U server
chassis, resulting in improved cable routing. System boards within the chassis include the midplane, bridge board, hot-swap backplane, and control panel. This chapter describes the
interconnect features of each, and defines the pin-outs for each of their connectors. Functional
details of each system board are described in later chapters.
5.1 Mid-plane
The mid-plane is new to this generation of Intel high density server platforms. Its design and
use, along with that of the bridgeboard and hot-swap backplane, improve cable routing within
the system. The mid-plane is the key system board of the chassis. It serves as the primary
interface between the server board, hot-swap backplane, and control panel. Two mid-planes are
offered for this chassis: a passive SATA/SAS, and an active SAS/SAS RAID.
The passive midplane is a simple pass through from the backplane to the SATA connectors on
the baseboard or SAS/SATA connectors on an add-in card.

6.2 Hard Drive Bays
The chassis can be configured to support up to 61 hot-swap 3.5” x1” SAS or SATA hard disk
drives. Hard drives are mounted to hot-swap drive trays for easy insertion to or extraction from
the drive bay.
6.2.1 Hot-swap Drive Trays
Each hard drive must be mounted to a hot-swap drive tray, making insertion and extraction of
the drive from the chassis very simple. Each drive tray has its own dual purpose latching
mechanism which is used to both insert/extract drives from the chassis and lock the tray in
place. Each drive tray supports a light pipe providing a drive status indicator, located on the
backplane, to be viewable from the front of the chassis.

6.4 Mid-plane Options
New to this generation of high density server platform is the concept of the mid-plane. The midplane is the interconnect between the server board and both the hot-swap backplane and
control panel. It is also used to determine which hard drive technology is to be supported. Two
different Mid-plane options are available for this platform 1) a passive mid-plane capable of
supporting SATA ports from the server board or SAS using ports from an add-in card; 2) an
active SAS / SAS RAID mid-plane. This section will describe the hard drive interface support of
each of the mid-plane boards.
6.4.1 Passive Mid-plane
The passive mid-plane is used as an interconnect, routing drive control signals from either the
on-board SATA ports of the baseboard or SAS/SATA ports from an add-in card to the hot-swap
backplane. The hard drive controller signals are cabled to the mid-plane which then routes the
signals to the hot-swap backplane through two edge connectors that plug directly into it. See
Table 22. Mid-plane-to-Backplane Card Edge Connector #1 Pin-out and Table 23. Mid-plane-toBackplane Card Edge Connector #2 Pin-out.

6.5.2 SAS/SATA Backplane Functional Architecture
The figure below shows the functional blocks of the SAS/SATA backplane.
5BPeripheral and Hard Drive Sub-System Intel® Server System SR2500AL
6.5.2.1 Enclosure Management Controller
The backplane utilizes the features of the Vitesse* VSC410 to implement several enclosure
management functions. The chip provides in-band SAF-TE and SES management and utilizes
the four I
2
C interfaces listed below.
1. I2C bus 0 is connected to an EEPROM which stores configuration and FRU data
2. I2C bus 1 is connected to an LM75 temperature sensor
3. I2C bus 2 is connected to an IPMB bus from the server board.
4. I2C bus 3 is connected to the LSISAS1068 SAS controller.
6.5.2.2 Hard Drive Activity and Fault LEDs
The backplanes support an activity/fault LED for each of the hard drive connectors. The LED will
illuminate green for activity or amber for a drive fault. The green activity LED is driven by the
SAS/SATA hard disk drive directly. The amber fault LED is driven by the VSC410*
management controller whenever a fault condition is detected. When the drive is used in a
RAID configuration, the RAID controller will have control over the fault LED and it may exhibit
different behavior.
Table 40. Hard Drive LED Function Definitions
Status LED Definition
GREEN HDD Activity
AMBER HDD Fail
The activity LED functionality is controlled directly by the hard drives. This causes the LED to
function differently between SAS and SATA drives. The expected operation is outlined below.

•USB signals from the card edge connector are routed to the control panel interface
board through matching 10-pin connectors on the interposer board and control panel
interface board. The 10-pin connectors are attached using a small 10-pin round cable.
• A 4-pin IPMI header (not used).
• A 4-pin NMI/Temp Sensor header.
The following tables provide the pin-outs for each connector.
Intel® Server System SR2500AL8BPCI Riser Cards and Assembly
9. PCI Riser Cards and Assembly
The chassis supports different riser card options depending on the add-in card configuration
desired. The riser assembly for the chassis is tool-less. Stand-offs on the bracket allow the riser
cards to slide onto the assembly where a latching mechanism than holds each riser in place.
Holding down the latch releases the risers for easy removal.
When re-inserting the riser assembly into the chassis, tabs on the back of the assembly should
be aligned with slots on the back edge of the chassis. The tabs fit into the slots securing the
riser assembly to the chassis when the top cover is in place.
The riser assembly provides two extraction levers to assist with riser assembly removal from the
riser slots.

9.1 Riser Card Options
The Intel® Server Board S5000PAL has two riser slots capable of supporting riser cards for both
1U and 2U system configurations. Because of board placement resulting in different pin
orientations, and expanded technology support associated with the full-height riser, the riser
slots are not the same and require different riser cards.
The low profile riser slot (J5B1) utilizes a 98-pin connector. It is capable of supporting up to two
low profile PCIe* add-in cards. The x8 PCIe bus can support bus speeds of up to 20Gb/S. The
following table provides the supported bus throughput for the given riser card used and the
number of add-in cards installed.
Low Profile Riser 1 add-in card 2 add-in cards
2U X4 X4
Note: There are no population rules for installing a single low profile add-in card in the 2U low
profile riser card; a single add in card can be installed in either PCI Express* slot. While each
slot can accommodate a x8 card, each slot will only support x4 bus speeds.
The full height riser slot (J4F1) implements Intel
®
Adaptive Slot Technology. This 280-pin
connector is capable of supporting riser cards that meet either the PCI-X* or PCI Express*
technology specifications. The following tables show the maximum bus speed supported with
different add-in card populations.

slot
Up to 100MHz using top
and middle slots

Note: For the 2U PCI-X* (passive) riser card, add-in cards should be installed starting with the
top slot first, followed by the middle, and then the bottom. Any add-in card populated in the
bottom PCI slot will cause the bus to operate at 66MHz.

Order Code –
ADRACTRIS)
2U Up to 133MHz Up to 133MHz Up to 133MHz

Note: Each PCI slot on the 2U PCI-X* (active) riser card operates on an independent PCI bus.
Using an add-in card that operates below 133MHz will not affect the bus speed of the other PCI
slots.
