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.

Hot-Swap Backplane
The Intel® Server System SR2520SAX/SR2520SAXS and SR2520SAXR/
SR2520SAXSR supports a backplane. The backplane provides the platform support for
peripheral drives and hot-swap SAS or SAT A hard drives. To eliminate several cables, the
backplanes are also used as a pathway for signals from the server board to various
platform interconnects, including those for the control panel and peripheral drives. The
backplane acts as a 'pass-through' for the SAS/SATA data from the drives to the SATA
controller on the server board or a SAS/SATA controller add-in card. It provides the
physical requirements for the hot-swap capabilities.
Note: The Intel
®
Server System SR2520SAX/SR2520SAXR ships with a passive backplane with 6
SATA cables installed. The Intel

RAID Support
The Intel® Server System SR2520SA is available in both fixed and redundant models.
The fixed model has order code SR2520SAF/SR2520SAFR. The redundant model has
order code SR2520SAX/SR2520SAXS and SR2520SAXR/SR2520SAXSR.
SATA
For information on configuring RAID, see the RAID Software Guide that is included on
the Intel
®
Server Deployment Toolkit 2.0 CD.
The Intel® Server Systems SR2520SAF/SR2520SAFR and SR2520SAX/SR2520SAXR
provide an embedded SATA controller that supports both 1.5 and 3.0 Gbps data transfer
rates.
The BIOS Setup utility provides multiple drive configuration options on the Advanced |
ATA Controller 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 either Legacy or Enhanced. The Legacy and Enhanced
modes affect the RAID configuration as follows:
• Legacy supports four disk drives and does not provide RAID support.
• Enhanced supports six disk drives and is required for RAID configurations.
When the enhanced mode is selected, you can choose to enable or disable “AHCI Mode”
or “Configure SATA as RAID”. Intel
by the option, “Configure SATA as RAID.” The Intel
Technology II feature provides RAID modes 0, 1, and 10.
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 I

SAS
In addition to the SATA features described above, the Intel® Server System
SR2520SAXS/SR2520SAXSR also has a dual-mode 4-port Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)
controller that supports both SAS and SAT A hard disk drives. This con troller is capable of
data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gbps per port.The SAS controller (in RAID mode) supports
eight physical drives and eight logical arrays. The SAS controller (in native mode)
supports up to 120 physical drives when expanders are used.
The BIOS Setup utility includes options on the Advanced | Mass Storage setup page to
enable or disable the SAS option ROM and the SAS controller . Both of these options must
be enabled to use RAID.
• When the SAS controller is enabled, the two black SATA ports on the server board
continue to function as SATA port s. The four blue ports can be used as either SAS or
SATA ports. When the SAS controller is disabled in the BIOS S etup utility, only the
two black SATA ports will be available.
• When the SAS option ROM is enabled in the BIOS Setup utility, Intel
Server RAID T echnology II is available. This enables SAS RAID modes 0, 1, or 10
for the four blue ports on the server board. The SAS controller can mix SAS and
SATA drives.
If the SAS option ROM is disabled in the BIOS Setup utility, but the SAS controller is
enabled, the four blue ports on the server board continue to function as either SAS or
SATA ports and the two black ports on the server board continue to function as SATAonly ports. However, RAID support is not available unless enabled in the BIOS for either
SATA or SAS.

Both SAS and SATA controllers support SGPIO enclosure management. Two SGPIO
connectors are available on SAS models of the server board, one for the SAS controller
and one for the SATA controller.
®
If RAID 5 is desired, the optional Intel
RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 (available
post-release) can be installed. To enable RAID 5, this activation key is placed on the
SAS_Key connector that is located at the left side of the server board. For information on
how to install the Intel

Rack-Mounted Systems
Your Intel® Server System SR2520SA can be mounted into a rack. Intel provides three
options to mount this server into a rack. When installing the chassis into a rack, Intel
recommends you install systems from the bottom of the rack to the top. In other words,
install the first system in the rack into the bottom position of the rack, the second system
in the second position from the bottom, and so on. Instructions for installing your chassis
into a rack are included in the rail kit.

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.
Page 88
“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.

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.

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
Follow the instructions in the readme file that came with the BIOS upgrade. When the
update completes, remove the bootable media from which you performed the upgrade.
Caution: Do not power down the system during the BIOS update process! The system will reset
automatically when the BIOS update process is completed.
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 err ors r equir e that you
enter Setup, check your settings, save your settings, and exit Setup.
Clearing the Password
If the user or administrator password(s) is lost or forgotten, moving the password clear

Appendix B: LED Decoder (SR2520SAX
/SR2520SAXS and
SR2520SAXR/
SR2520SAXSR Only)
During the system boot process, 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, BIOS will display the given POST code to the POST
Code Diagnostic LEDs found 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 to be executed.
Each POST code will be represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The
LEDs are capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are
divided into two nibbles, an upper nibble and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble
is represented by a red LED and each bit in the lower nibble is represented by a green
LED. If both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then both red and green LEDs are
lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear, then the LED is off.
In the below example, BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The
LEDs are decoded as follows:
• red bits = 1010b = Ah
• green bits = 1100b = Ch
Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the
lower nibble, the two are concatenated to be ACh.
