Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips

When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, AC power
must be removed. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-volt standby is still
present even though the server board is powered off.
When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and
bus/core speed. Mixed processor steppings is supported. However, the stepping of one
processor can not be greater then one stepping back of the other.
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 is located near the edge of the server
board and must be populated to operate the board.
Only fully buffered DIMMs (FBD) are supported on this server board. For a list of
supported memory for this server board, see the Intel
Memory List.
For a list of Intel supported operating systems, add-in cards, and peripherals for this
server board, see the Intel
Only Dual-Core Intel
®
Xeon processor 5300 series, with system bus speeds of 1066, or 1333 MHz are
supported on this server board. Previous generation Intel
supported.

Removing AC power before performing the CMOS clear operation will cause the system
to automatically power up and immediately power down after the procedure is followed
and AC power is re-applied. If this happens remove the AC power cord again, wait 30
seconds, and then reconnect the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to
the <F2> BIOS setup utility to reset desired settings.
Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the force BMC update jumper set to the
"enabled" position (pins 2-3). The server should never be run with the BMC force update
jumper set in this position and should only be used when the standard firmware update
process fails. This jumper should remain in the default (disabled) position (pins 1-2)
when the server is running normally.
When performing a BIOS update, the BIOS select jumper must be set to its default
position (pins 2-3).
