Appendix A: Chassis Integration and Usage Tips

This appendix provides a list of useful information that is unique to the Intel
SR2500 and should be kept in mind while integrating and configuring your system.
o In a single power supply configuration, the power supply must be placed in the lower slot. A
power supply blank must be installed in the upper slot in order to maintain proper airflow in
the system.
o Do not mix DIMMs of different heights. For tall DIMMS the DIMM baffle must be removed
from the Processor Air Duct for proper fitment. The baffle must be installed for shorter
DIMMS to ensure proper airflow and DIMM cooling.
o You must run the FRUSDR utility to load the proper Sensor Data Records for this chassis on
to the server board. Failure to do so may result in possible false errors being reported to the
System Event Log. It is best to download the latest FRUSDR Utility for your particular server
board using the Intel
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server
o To ensure proper cooling of your server, all air baffles and air ducts must be in place. In
addition, all drive bays must be populated with either a drive or a drive blank and both power
supply slots must be populated by either a power supply or a power supply blank.
o Processor fans are not supported and are not needed in the Intel
o The Mid-plane board must be removed from the system before removal of the Backplane.
o In order to remove or replace the Mid-plane board, the fan cage must first be removed.
o There are three indentations in the top of the chassis. These are for the Intel Safety Label,
the Windows Certification Label, and a Customer Defined Label.
