Intel® Server Board S1400SP TPS

Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips

When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, you must

remove AC power cord. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-V standby is
still present even though the server board is powered off.
This server board supports Intel

®
Xeon Processor E5-2400 v2 product family with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up
to and including 95 Watts. Previous generation Intel
supported.
The onboard SATA connectors 0 and 1 are designed to support the ODD or SSD, do

NOT connect SATA connector 0 and 1 to the backplane. The onboard SATA connectors
2-5 are designed to support the backplane.
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.
Only Registered DDR3 DIMMs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DDR3 DIMMs (UDIMMs) are

supported on this server board. Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported.

The Intel RMM4/RMM4 Lite connectors are not compatible with the previous Intel

Remote Management Modules
Clear CMOS with the AC power cord plugged in. Removing AC power before performing

the CMOS Clear operation causes the system to automatically power up and
immediately power down after the CMOS Clear procedure is followed and AC power is
re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord, wait 30 seconds, and then re-
connect the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup
Utility to reset the desired settings.
Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the Force BMC Update jumper set to the

"enabled" position (pins 2-3). You should never run the server with the Force BMC
Update jumper set in this position and should only use the jumper in this position when
the standard firmware update process fails. This jumper must remain in the default
(disabled) position (pins 1-2) when the server is running normally.
This server board no longer supports the Rolling BIOS (two BIOS banks). It implements

the BIOS Recovery mechanism instead.
When performing a normal BIOS update procedure, you must set the BIOS Recovery

jumper to its default position (pins 1-2).
