1. A shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet FCC emission limits and also
to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television reception. It is essential
that only the supplied power cord be used.
2. Use only shielded cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment.
3. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Preface
ii
Before getting started, please read the following important cautions:
• All cautions and warnings on the equipment or in the manuals should be noted.
• Most electronic components are sensitive to electrical static discharge. Therefore, be
sure to ground yourself at all times when installing the internal components.
• Use a grounding wrist strap and place all electronic components in static-shielded
devices. Grounding wrist straps can be purchased in any electronic supply store.
• Be sure to turn off the power and then disconnect the power cords from your system
before performing any installation or servicing. A sudden surge of power could
damage sensitive electronic components.
• Do not open the system’s top cover. If opening the cover for maintenance is a must,
only a trained technician should do so. Integrated circuits on computer boards are
sensitive to static electricity. Before handling a board or integrated circuit, touch
an unpainted portion of the system unit chassis for a few seconds. This will help to
discharge any static electricity on your body.
• Place this equipment on a stable surface when install. A drop or fall could cause injury.
• Please keep this equipment away from humidity.
• Carefully mount the equipment into the rack, in such manner, that it won’t be
hazardous due to uneven mechanical loading.
• This equipment is to be installed for operation in an environment with maximum
ambient temperature below 35°C.
• The openings on the enclosure are for air convection to protect the equipment from
overheating. DO NOT COVER THE OPENINGS.
• Never pour any liquid into ventilation openings. This could cause fire or electrical
shock.
• Make sure the voltage of the power source is within the specication on the label when
connecting the equipment to the power outlet. The current load and output power of
loads shall be within the specication.
• This equipment must be connected to reliable grounding before using. Pay special
attention to power supplied other than direct connections, e.g. using of power strips.
• Place the power cord out of the way of foot traffic. Do not place anything over the
power cord. The power cord must be rated for the product, voltage and current marked
on the product’s electrical ratings label. The voltage and current rating of the cord
should be greater than the voltage and current rating marked on the product.
Safety Instructions
iii
• If the equipment is not used for a long time, disconnect the equipment from mains to
avoid being damaged by transient over-voltage.
• Never open the equipment. For safety reasons, only qualied service personnel should
open the equipment.
• If one of the following situations arise, the equipment should be checked by service
personnel:
1. The power cord or plug is damaged.
2. Liquid has penetrated the equipment.
3. The equipment has been exposed to moisture.
4. The equipment does not work well or will not work according to its user manual.
5. The equipment has been dropped and/or damaged.
6. The equipment has obvious signs of breakage.
7. Please disconnect this equipment from the AC outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid or detergent for cleaning. The use of a moisture sheet or cloth is
recommended for cleaning.
• Module and drive bays must not be empty! They must have a dummy cover.

2�1 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
2�1�1 Processor Support
The server board includes two processor sockets (LGA3647) and can support one or two
of the Intel® Xeon® Processor Scalable Family, with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up
to 165W on selected models.
NOTE
Previous generations of Intel® Xeon® processors and previous generations of processor
heatsinks are not compatible with the Intel® server bouard S2600BP product family.
Processor installation requires that the processor be attached to the processor heat sink

Chapter 2. Hardware SetupSB403-VG User Manual
The PHM sits level with the processor socket assembly and is secured by four heat
sink torque scews. The screws must be secured in the following order as shown below.
The PHM will NOT be installed properly if it does not sit level with the processor socket
assembly.
Processor Heat Sink – Top View with Screw Tightening Order
NOTE
Failure to tighten the heat sink screw in the speciifed order may cause damage to
the processor socket assembly. Heatsink screws should be tightened to 12 in-lbs
torque in the indicated order on the top of the heatsink label.

2�1�4 CPU heatsink
CAUTION
There may be possible thermal during physical contact with the heatsink.
Avoid moving the heatsink after it has contacted the top of the CPU. Too much
movement could disturb the layer of thermal compound, causing voids and
leading to ineffective heat dissipation and component damage.
