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.

重要安全指导

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 perfo rm 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.

iv Intel® Server System SR9000MK4U Product Guide

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.

Powering the System On and Off

Powering On the System Power

1. Connect the power cables to AC input power connectors in the back of the system
and to the outlet. If 100 - 110 VAC is used, both power supplies must be connected.

2. If peripheral devices are attached that need to be turned on first, power on these
peripherals. See your peripheral guides for information.

3. Press the power button on the front panel. The green power LED will light.

4. Watch the fault LED on the front panel for any signs of trouble. See the
troubleshooting information at the end of this manual for help if necessary.

Powering Off the System Power

1. If peripheral devices are attached that need to be turned off first, power off these
peripherals. See your peripheral guides for information.

2. Press the power button on the front panel. The green power LED will turn off.

Note: The system will force a power off if the power button is held down for four or more

seconds. This method should be used only if the system has locked up. If the power is
forced off, wake events, such as Wake-on-LAN, are disabled. The IPMI “Power Off”
command functions the same way as a four-sec ond button pr ess. When the system power is
forced off, either the power button or the IPMI “Power On” command must be used to
power the system back on.

Internal Chassis Features

Power Supply Subsystem

The 12 V hot-swap power supply modules are rated at 1390 W over an input range of 200

- 240 VAC, and at 990 W over an input range of 100-127 VAC.
The power supply module has two outputs, that is, +12 V and +5 Vsb. The standby

voltages +5 Vsb is active anytime AC input power is applied to the power supply.
The power supply module is connected to the main board directly and can be used in 1+1

redundant mode.

Note: Two power supplies must be installed and plugged in when a 110 V outlet is used. Hot-

swapping and redundancy are not available under this condition.

One power supply can be used when it is connected to a 220 VAC outlet. Under this
condition, redundancy is available and a power supply can be hot-swapped if necessary.

Cooling Subsystem

The cabinet inlets have hot-swappable, 5+1 redundant fans for coolin g.
120 mm x 38 mm fans are used. They provide enough airflow to cool the system

components, processors, memory and chipset, even if one of the six fans fails. The fans
are located across the center of the cabinet. The hard drives and DVD-ROM drive are
cooled by suction. Components on main board, processor and chipset are cooled by the air
flow through the air duct.

The power supply module has non-redundant fans in it for cooling the power supply.

Caution: The chassis top cover must be installed for proper system cooling. Additionally, cooling

fans must be hot-swapped within two minutes. This time period applies only to the time
that the cooling fan is physically removed, not from the time of failure.

Support

The following figures show the installation order and upgrade path for DIMMs, and the
applicable mode for each configuration. In these figures, solid lines indicate installed
memory boxes; dotted lines indicated locations of empty memory box sockets. Black
boxes indicate installed DIMMs.

The first set of figures (1-A, 2-A, 3-A, 4-A) represent configurations in which four
DIMMs are installed in each installed memory box. The paths to the right of the figures
marked 'W', 'X', 'Y', and 'Z' show the upgrade to fully populated memory boxes (eight
DIMMs in each memory box). These fully populated configurations are shown in the
second set of figures (1-B, 2-B, 3-B, 4-B).

For example, configuration 1-A has only one MMR with four DIMMs installed, so only
single mode is applicable. This configuration can be connected to three paths for upgrade,
that is, to 2-A, 3-A. and 1-B.

In the paths to 2-A and 3-A, another memory box is needed. 2-A has a higher memory
bandwidth than 3-A, because 2-A can use two NDC chips effectively. In 3-A, processors
connected to the NDC linked to the MC with DIMMs installed can access all of the
system memory with the shortest access time. Therefore, in some specialized situations, 3­A has a performance advantage to 2-A, such as in a two-socket installation.

26 Intel® Server System SR9000MK4U Product Guide

In the path to 1-B no new memory box is needed and therefore has a lower cost for
capacity addition.

Memory mirroring is applicable to 3-A, but not to 2-A nor 1-B.
