(or higher) and operating at the same (or higher) speed as the microprocessor used on this server board. Server board diagram label provided: Place the label inside the chassis in an easy-to-see location, preferably oriented similarly to the server board. Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the following minimum requirements. For a list of qualified memory and chassis components see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2 Processor A minimum of one 1.8 GHz Intel Xeon processor with 512KB cache support is required. For a complete list of supported processors, see: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2 Memory A minimum of one or two 128 MB Registered, ECC, DDR200- or DDR266- compliant, 184-pin DIMMs.
Attaching the Gasket to the I/O Shield 1. Remove the two backing strips from the gasket. 2. Press the gasket onto the inside face of the I/O shield as shown. OM14074 Figure 3. Attaching the Gasket to the I/O Shield Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
Attaching the Label to the I/O Shield 1. Remove the backing from the label included with your server board. 2. Press the label onto the outside face of the I/O shield. See Figure 4, A. OM14360 Figure 4. Attaching the Label to the I/O Shield Installing the I/O Shield 1.
Server Chassis SC5250-E, the locations where standoffs need to be installed are shown below. If you are using a non-Intel chassis, you must rearrange the standoffs so they match the holes in the server board. Failure to properly rearrange the metal standoffs may cause the server board to malfunction and may permanently damage it.
Intel Server Chassis SC5250-E ® The Intel Server Chassis SC5250-E comes with standoffs pre-installed in positions K, F, A, N, I, and D. Install standoffs in positions L, H, C, E, the four position marked P1, and the four positions marked P2).
When placing the board into the SC5250-E chassis, insert the front of the board first, then slide the board back so that the I/O connectors protrude through the I/O shield at the rear of the chassis. TP00102 Figure 9. Placing the Server Board in the SC5250-E Chassis Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
NOTE The Intel® Server Chassis SC5250 (all versions) and the Intel Server Chassis SC5250-E use different screws to attach the server board to t he chassis. Be sure to use the appropriate screw for your chassis. See the diagram below for the correct screw for each chassis.
DIMMs. No DIMM mixing is allowed within a bank. Between banks only the DIMM size may be different. All DIMMs must be the same speed and architecture. For a list of supported memory, visit the Intel Support Web site: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2...
Make sure your server can handle a newer, faster processor (thermal and power considerations). For exact information about processor interchangeability, contact your customer service representative or visit the Intel Customer Support website: http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SE7501CW2...
NOTE Make sure the alignment triangle mark and the alignment triangle cutout align correctly. See Figure 12. OM15042 Figure 12. Opening Socket Lever and Attaching Processor Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
Installing the Retention Mechanism(s) and the Heat Sink(s) 1. Install the PWT retention mechanism over the top of the processor with the screws provided, as shown in Figure 13. NOTE The SC5200 chassis and the SC5250-E chassis use different fasteners to connect the PWT retention mechanism to the server board.
(Figure 15, 3 and 4). NOTES The 400 MHz Intel Xeon processor and the 533 MHz Intel Xeon processor use different retention mechanism clips. Although the clips appear to be nearly identical, they vary slightly in size. Use only the clips that came with your processor.
Assembling the Processor Wind Tunnel 1. Hold the fan case at approximately 45 degrees and engage the clip at the top of the tunnel as shown by Figure 16, 1. Rotate the fan case downward (Figure 16, 2) to insert the tabs at each side of the fan case into the matching slots on the wind tunnel (Figure 16, 3) TP00041 Figure 16.
System airflow must be from front to back. Make sure the PWT is aligned so the fan is toward the front of the chassis and the airflow is toward the I/O shield. If two processors are installed, the fans must be side by side. Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
When assembled, the Processor Wind Tunnel will look similar to the figure below. The dashed lines over CPU2 indicate that this processor assembly is only required when configuring the server with two processors. The direction of the airflow is indicated by the arrow at Figure 19, A. CPU1 CPU2 TP00095...

Routing Cables To ensure proper airflow within the chassis, follow the cable routing guidelines below. IDE Cables For the server chassis SC5200, IDE cables that connect to devices in the lower device bays should be routed around the EPAC as shown below. 1.
For the server chassis SC5200, route the floppy drive cable as shown in Figure 23, A. OM14421 Figure 23. Routing the Floppy Drive Cable For the SC5250-E chassis, route the cables along the sides of the chassis, being careful to avoid blocking the airflow from the fans. Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
Finishing Up WARNING An electrical shock hazard exists if the chassis cover is not replaced before connecting the chassis to the main power. 1. Install the chassis cover according to the instructions for your chassis. 2. See your chassis documentation to complete rack or pedestal installation. 3.

The controller stopped working when an add-in adapter was installed. Make sure the cable is connected to the port from the onboard network controller. Make sure your PCI BIOS is current. Try the “PCI Installation Tips” below. Make sure the other adapter supports shared interrupts. Also, make sure your operating system supports shared interrupts.
The recovery process is complete when the beeping stops. 3. Remove the diskette and power down the system. 4. Power the system up to restart it and confirm that the recovery was successful. Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
Manually Recovering the BIOS A BIOS recovery can also be manually initiated. This option would be used only when the BIOS is corrupt, but the ROM checksum error does not occur during POST. To manually initiate a BIOS recovery, use the following steps: 1.
4. Reconnect the AC power, power up the system. 5. Power down the system and disconnect the AC power. 6. Return the Password Clear jumper to the spare location, covering pins 9 and 10. 7. Close the server chassis. Intel Server Board SE7501CW2 Product Guide...
Clearing the CMOS If you are not able to access the BIOS setup screens, the CMOS Clear jumper will need to be used to reset the configuration RAM. The CMOS Clear jumper is located on jumper block J32 on the SE7501CW2 board.
