Safety Information

Important Safety Instructions

Read all caution and safety statements in this document before
performing any of the instructions.

Warnings

Heed safety instructions: Before working with the server,
whether using this manual or any other resource as a refer­ence, pay close attention to the safety instructions. Adhere to
the assembly instructions in this manual to ensure and maintain
compliance with existing product certifications and approvals.
Use only the described, regulated components specified in this
manual. Use of other products / components will void the UL
listing and other regulatory approvals of the product and will
most likely result in non-compliance 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 opening the chassis, add­ing, or removing 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 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 the server when handling parts.

ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully.
They can be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(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 can be gripped with fingertips
or with a pair of fine needle nosed pliers. If the 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

SAFETY INFORMATION

XVIII

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 used to
remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.

Functional Architecture

Functional Architecture

Processor

The S100-MB1W motherboard supports an Intel ® Xeon pro­cessor E3-1200 v2 family processor (codenamed Ivy Bridge) or

an Intel ® Xeon processor E3-1200 processor (codenamed
Sandy Bridge). See the socket location on mainbaord in Moth-
erboard Connectors and Jumpers.

Sandy Bridge

The Sandy Bridge processor comes in a FCLGA 1155 package,
and plugs into a H2 socket. There are two FMBs with the follow­ing power ratings.

The Sandy Bridge processor has an Integrated Memory Con­troller (IMC) that supports two channels of DDR3 memory and
two DPCs. The DDR3 I/O signal voltage is 1.5V.

ABOUT THE SERVER PROCESSOR

1-6

The Sandy Bridge H2 processor has two or four cores with 1.5
MB of L3 cache per core. One 16-lane or two 8-lane second
generation PCI Express interface is integrated into the proces­sor. The processor and PCH are connected via a second gen­eration DMI. Processor power consumption is shown in the
following table.

Early samples of the Sandy Bridge processor were labelled
QGBS, while later LGA1155 socket samples were correctly
labelled QLKB.

Ivy Bridge

The Ivy Bridge processor comes in a FCLGA 1155 package,
and plugs into a H2 socket. The Ivy Bridge processor has an
IMC that supports two channels of DDR3 memory and two
DPCs. The DDR3 I/O signal voltage is 1.5V. There is no support
for 1.35V DDR3L signalling.

The Ivy Bridge H2 processor has 2 or 4 cores with 2 MB of L3
cache per core. One 16-lane or two 8-lane third generation PCI
Express interface is integrated into the processor. The proces­sor and PCH are connected via a second generation DMI. Pro­cessor power consumption is shown in the following table.

UDIMM Support

UDIMM support enables cost-optimized value platforms that
can support up to 8GB per core on the Bromolow platform.

Dual 77W / ~17W (ULV)

Note:

 Unsupported configurations may still boot

 There is no support for RDIMMs or LV DIMMs

 All channels in a system run at the highest common fre-

quency

 Non-ECC UDIMMs are supported on workstation plat-

forms, but not on server platforms

 Mixing ECC and non-ECC UDIMMs is not supported

 Static CLTT is supported via the BMC, provided ECC

DIMMs have a thermal sensor

 DDR3L DIMMs running at 1.5V are POR for use with IVB-

H2 DDR3L. DIMMs running at 1.35V are not supported.

ABOUT THE SERVER PCI-EXPRESS

1-7

Maximum Memory Capacity

PCI-Express

The S100-MB1W motherboard supports two PCIe x8 G2/3 slots
via the processor and two PCIe x1 slots via the PCH. PCIe x8
slots have a riser board for 1U chassis. The Sandy Bridge pro­cessor supports G2 PCIe slots and the Ivy Bridge processor

supports G3 slots. PCI Express links are used as described in
the following table. See the connector locations on mainbaord
in Motherboard Connectors and Jumpers.

LPC Bus

The LPC bus is connected to the PCH, BMC and TPM.

Trusted Platform Module

TPM Module

The TPM controller on S100-MB1W motherboard is produced
by STMicroelectronics. The main source is
ST19NP18BR28PVIT and secondary is ST33ZP24AR28PVSH.

The S100-MB1W motherboard optionally supports TPM 1.2 via
the ST19NP18BR28PVIM.

Information on TPM connector pins, see TPM Pin-Outs Defini-
tion.

ABOUT THE SERVER LAN ON MOTHERBOARD

LAN on Motherboard

The S100-MB1W has an on-board Intel 82579LM GbE (Lewis­ville) 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet interface, which is con­nected to the PCH via a single lane PCIe link, and 82579 only
runs at 1250 Mb/s speed, which is 1/2 of the PCIe Specification
v1.1.The S100-MB1W also has an integrated Intel
82574L(Hartwell) Gigabit Ethernet MAC and PHY functionality,
full duplex operation at 10/100/1000 Mb/s, and is capable of
sharing the interface with the AST2150 BMC. See the ports
location on mainbaord in Motherboard Connectors and Jump-
ers.

The NC-SI link supports both pass-through traffic between the
BMC AST2150 and the 82574 LAN functions that meet the lat­est NC-SI specification as it relates to the RMII electrical inter­face.

Video

The S100-MB1W motherboard has an AST2150 BMC that pro­vides a VGA output at 1600 x 1200 resolution at 60Hz with 16­bits per pixel color depth. See the connector location on main­baord in Motherboard Connectors and Jumpers.

The AST2150 also provides system management functions via
the embedded 266MHz ARM 926EJ processor and 128 MB of
DDR2 memory.

The combined management and video functionality of the
AST2150 BMC chip deliver video redirection over IP networks.
This redirection uses YUV444/YUV420 video compression to
send 1600x1200x24-bit images at 60 frames per second. USB
can also be redirected over IP with the USB 2.0 virtual hub.

For information on video connector pin-outs, see Video Con-
nector PinOuts.

Serial Port

See the port location on mainbaord in Motherboard Connectors
and Jumpers.

Port Pin-Outs.
