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, 5V standby is still
present even though the server board is powered off.
This server board supports the Intel

with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 160 Watts. Previous
generations of the Intel
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the server board to

operate.
On the back edge of the server board are eight diagnostic LEDs that display a sequence

of amber POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST,
the LEDs display the last POST event run before the hang.
For the best performance, the number of DIMMs installed should be balanced across

both processor sockets and memory channels. For example, a two-DIMM configuration
performs better than a one-DIMM configuration. In a two-DIMM configuration, DIMMs
should be installed in DIMM sockets A1 and D1. A six-DIMM configuration (DIMM
sockets A1, B1, C1, D1, E1, and F1) performs better than a three-DIMM configuration
(DIMM sockets A1, B1, and C1).
Normal Integrated BMC functionality is disabled with the BMC Force 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 normal BIOS update procedure, the BIOS recovery jumper must be

set to its default position (pins 1-2).
