Product Overview

®
The Intel Server Chassis SR2500 is a 2U server chassis that is designed to support the Intel
Server Board S5000PAL. The server board and the chassis have features that are designed to
support the high-density server market. This chapter provides a high-level overview of the
chassis features. Greater detail for each major chassis component or feature is provided in the
following chapters.
The chassis differs from previous generation products in that the majority of cables have been
removed from the system and in their place are a series of board-to-board interconnects. The
benefits of using board-to-board interconnects are simplification of platform integration and
improved airflow for more reliable cooling.
A second significant change from the previous generation is the introduction of the mid-plane
circuit board. There are two options for the mid-plane circuit board: the first option provides
SAS RAID support. The second option is a passive SATA/SAS mid-plane that can be used with
either the SATA only connectors from the server board, or SATA/SAS connectors from an add-
in card.
