Introduction
The QSSC-S99K 2U server system features a motherboard with two FC-LGA1366 socket that accommodate single or dual
Intel® Xeon Nehalem-EP processors, and features the Tylersburg-EP-2S/ICH10R chipsets.
Eighteen DDR3 registered DIMM slots enable you to add up to 144 GB of total memory. ECC support provides extra
security against system failure. Six Serial ATA II (SATAII) ports and four optional Serial Attached SCSI 6Gbp/s ports
provide maximum flexibility in installing hard drives.
The QSSC-S99K 2U has a full range of I/O ports, including two USB ports, two 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports, one
link from ICH10R+82576, one 10/100M LAN port from AST2050, one 9-pin serial port, and one 15-pin VGA port.
ASPEED 2050 server management firmware enables the administrator to monitor the QSSC-S99K 2U status through a typical
web browser.
Checklist
Carefully unpack the QSSC-S99K 2U and check that the following items are included.
One QSSC-S99K 2U chassis
One single power supply or a set of redundant power supplies
One CPU heat sink for a single CPU order, two CPU heat sinks for a dual CPU order
One set of rack mount rails
User manual
One utility CD with support software drivers
Contact your vendor if some items are missing or appear damaged.

Safety Measures
Computer components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged by discharges of static electricity. Working
on computers that are still connected to a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the simple guidelines
below to avoid damage to your computer or injury to yourself.
Always disconnect the computer from the power outlet whenever you are working inside the computer case.
If possible, wear a grounded wrist strap when you are working inside the computer case. Alternatively,
discharge any static electricity by touching the bare metal chassis of the computer case, or the bare metal body
of any other grounded appliance.
Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress the circuit board.
Leave all components inside the static-proof packaging until you are ready to use the component for the
installation.

Chapter 2 — Installing Hardware
Installing an Expansion Card
CAUTION!
VOLTAGES CAN BE PRESENT WITHIN THE SERVER WHENEVER AN AC POWER
SOURCE IS CONNECTED. THIS VOLTAGE IS PRESENT EVEN WHEN THE MAIN
POWER SWITCH IS IN THE OFF POSITION. ENSURE THAT THE SYSTEM IS POWERED-DOWN AND ALL POWER SOURCES HAVE BEEN DIS-CONNECTED FROM THE
SERVER PRIOR TO INSTALLING A PCI CARD. USE ONLY A S99Q SPECIFIC PCI RISER
CARDS WHEN INSTALLING A PCI CARD.FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS
COULD RESULT IN PER-SONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.
You can install expansion cards on the system's riser board. The riser board plugs into the riser connector on the
system board.
A second PCI card can be installed. Because the lower and upper PCI cards are installed in the same manner, both
use the following procedure.
Note:
The PCI riser assembly does not include a riser card or any cabling as standard. To install a
PCI card, a riser card must be installed. Refer to riser card user manual for installation pro-
cedures.
1.
2.
3.
Remove the riser card. See Replacing the Riser Card on page 19.
Remove the PCI dummy cover on the riser assembly.
Orient the PCI card with the riser guide slot and push in the direction of the arrow until the PCI card sits
in the PCI card connector . Secure the PCI card with the screw as shown .
4.
Repeat Step 3 for a second PCI card.
5. Turn the riser assembly over and insert in the chassis.
See Replacing the Riser Card on page 19.
