To complete the L6 integration of the Intel® Server D50DNP to be power-on ready, a chassis from the Intel® Server Chassis FC2000 v2 family is required to contain the L6 integrated modules. The chassis for L6 systems is sold separately.
Intel® Server D50DNP Family Integration and Service Guide Mixing different types of modules in the same chassis can be done as follows: • Up to two 1U air-cooled compute modules with one 2U management module Notes: • Mixing liquid-cooled modules with air-cooled modules in a single system is not supported.
Intel® Server D50DNP Family Integration and Service Guide Air Duct Removal / Installation To maintain system thermals for air-cooled modules, the air duct must always be in place when the system is operational. Removal of the air duct is necessary when installing or replacing any system component.

2.2.1 Heat Sinks The Intel® D50DNP air-cooled modules support 1U height heat sinks and 2U height heat sinks as shown in the following figures. The compute module uses 1U height heat sinks. The management module and PCIe* accelerator module use 2U height heat sinks.
Intel® Server D50DNP Family Integration and Service Guide Figure 8. 2U Heat Sinks The following figure displays a module with 1U front and back heat sinks installed. Only 1U standard front heat sink and 1U back heat sink are shown. However, the concept applies to modules using 1U EVAC front heat sink and 1U back heat sink or 2U front heat sink and 2U back heat sink.
The carrier clip designation (E1A, E1B, or E1C) is marked on each carrier clip. The designation for the needed carrier clip is also marked on each processor package. The heat sinks for the Intel® D50DNP Modules support all three carrier clips.
Intel® Server D50DNP Family Integration and Service Guide Figure 11. Processor Components and Processor Socket Reference Diagram with Standard Heat Sink To properly assemble the PHM and to install it onto the server board, the procedures described in the following sections must be followed in the order specified. These instructions assume that all PHM components are new, and the Thermal Interface Material (TIM) is already applied to the bottom of the heat sink.
