Product Overview

®
The Intel Server Chassis SR1550 is a 1U server chassis that is designed to support the Intel
Server Board S5000PAL and Intel
®
make up the Intel Server System SR1550AL. The server boards and chassis have feature sets
designed to support the high-density server market. This chapter provides a high-level overview
of the system features. Greater detail for each major system component or feature is provided in
the following chapters.
®
The Intel Server System SR1550AL represents a major departure from previous generation
products. Most cables have been removed from the system and replaced by a series of board-
to-board interconnects. Using board-to-board interconnects simplifies platform integration and
improves airflow for more reliable cooling.
A second significant change from the previous generation of products is the introduction of the
mid-plane system board. There are two options for this board: The first option is a cable-less
"active" mid-plane which includes an onboard SAS controller providing SAS / SAS RAID support.
The second option is a "passive" mid-plane which provides cabled point-to-point interconnects
to support either the onboard SATA ports of the server board, or to a SATA or SAS PCI add-in
card.
