The architecture and design of the Intel Server Board S2400SC is based on the Intel C600 ® ® chipset. The chipset is designed for systems based on the Intel Xeon processor in an FC-LGA ® ® 1356 Socket B2 package with Intel QuickPath Interconnect (Intel QPI).
Processor Population rules Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of different processors that meet the defined criteria below, Intel does not perform validation testing of this configuration. For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations, Intel recommends that identical processors be installed.
(highest common speed) and an error is reported. Processors which have different Intel Quickpath (QPI) Link Frequencies may operate together if they are otherwise compatible and if a common link frequency can be selected. The common link frequency would be the highest link frequency that all installed processors can achieve.

Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform. Mixing of DDR3 voltages is not validated within a socket or across sockets by Intel. If 1.35V (DDR3L) and 1.50V (DDR3) DIMMs are mixed, the DIMMs will run at 1.50V.
Page 39
Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS Functional Architecture Note: Some server operating systems do not display the total physical memory installed. What is displayed is the amount of physical memory minus the approximate memory space used by system BIOS components. These BIOS components include, but are not limited to: 1.
Page 40
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS Rank Sparing Mode enhances the system’s RAS capability by “swapping out” failing ranks of DIMMs. Rank Sparing is strictly channel and rank oriented. Each memory channel is a Sparing Domain. For Rank Sparing to be available as a RAS option, there must be 2 or more single rank or dual rank DIMMs, or at least one quad rank DIMM installed on each memory channel.
Page 41
Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS Functional Architecture When Mirroring Mode is operational, the system treats Correctable Errors the same way as it would in Independent channel mode. There is a correctable error threshold. Correctable error counts accumulate by rank, and the first event is logged.

The following sub-sections will describe the server board features that are directly supported by the processor IIO module. These include the Riser Card Slots, Network Interface, and connectors for the optional I/O modules and SAS Module. Features and functions of the Intel C600 Series chipset will be described in its own dedicated section.
C600 Series chipset documents listed in the Reference Document list in Chapter 1. Figure 16. Functional Block Diagram – Chipset Supported Features and Functions ® On the Intel Server Boards S2400SC, the chipset provides support for the following on-board functions: Digital Media Interface (DMI) ...
3.3.5 Rapid Storage Technology ® The C600 chipset provides support for Intel Rapid Storage Technology, providing both AHCI (see above for details on AHCI) and integrated RAID functionality. The industry-leading RAID capability provides high-performance RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10 functionality on up to 6 SATA ports of the C600 chipset.
Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS The C600 chipset supports LPC DMA, which is similar to ISA DMA, through the C600 chipset’s DMA controller. LPC DMA is handled through the use of the LDRQ# lines from peripherals and special encoding on LAD[3:0] from the host. Single, Demand, Verify, and Increment modes are supported on the LPC interface.
Intel® Server Board S2400SC TPS Functional Architecture 3.3.13 The C600 chipset contains a Motorola MC146818B-compatible real-time clock with 256 bytes of battery-backed RAM. The real-time clock performs two key functions: keeping track of the time of day and storing system data, even when the system is powered down. The RTC operates on a 32.768 KHz crystal and a 3 V battery.
Intel AMT is a set of advanced manageability features developed as a direct result of IT customer feedback gained through Intel market research. With the new implementation of System Defense in C600 chipset, the advanced manageability feature set of Intel AMT is further enhanced.
The server board is capable of supporting additional chipset embedded SAS and RAID options ® from the SCU controller when configured with one of several available Intel RAID C600 Upgrade Keys. Upgrade keys install onto a 4-pin connector on the server board labeled “STOR_UPG_KEY”.
