Intel server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow for
cooling. Intel’s own chassis are designed and tested to meet the intended thermal requirements of these components when
the fully integrated system is used together. It is the responsibility of the system integrator that chooses not to use Intel
developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of airflow
required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation can not be held responsible if
components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-
operating limits.

Safety Information
WARNING
Before working with your server product, whether you are using this guide or any other
resource as a reference, pay close attention to the safety instructions. You must adhere to the
assembly instructions in this guide to ensure and maintain compliance with existing product
certifications and approvals. Use only the described, regulated components specified in this
guide. Use of other products / components will void the UL listing and other regulatory
approvals of the product and will most likely result in noncompliance with product
regulations in the region(s) in which the product is sold.
Emissions Disclaimer
To ensure EMC compliance with your local regional rules and regulations, the final configuration
of your end system product may require additional EMC compliance testing. For more information
please contact your local Intel Representative.
See “Regulatory and Integration Information” for product Safety and EMC regulatory compliance
information. This is an FCC Class A device. Integration of it into a Class B chassis does not result
in a Class B device.
Intended Uses
This product was evaluated as Information Technology Equipment (ITE), which may be installed in
offices, schools, computer rooms, and similar commercial type locations. The suitability of this
product for other product categories and environments (such as: medical, industrial,
telecommunications, NEBS, residential, alarm systems, test equipment, etc.), other than an ITE
application, may require further evaluation.
EMC Testing
Before computer integration, make sure that the chassis, power supply, and other modules have
passed EMC testing using a server board with a microprocessor from the same family (or higher)
and operating at the same (or higher) speed as the microprocessor used on this server board.

viii
Warnings
System power on/off: The power button DOES NOT turn off the system
AC power. To remove power from system, you must unplug the AC power
cord from the wall outlet. Make sure the AC power cord is unplugged before
you open the chassis, add, or remove any components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables:Hazardous electrical
conditions may be present on power, telephone, and communication cables.
Turn off the server and disconnect the power cord, telecommunications
systems, networks, and modems attached to the server before opening it.
Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can
damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. We recommend that you
perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD workstation. If one is
not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist
strap attached to chassis groundany unpainted metal surfaceon your
server when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be
extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their edges. After removing
a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the board
component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive foam
pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any
surface.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased
conductor that slips over two jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on
top that you can grip with your fingertips or with a pair of fine needle nosed
pliers. If your jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle
nosed pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the
jumper with the pliers, never the wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can
damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent problems with
the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not
squeeze, the pliers or other tool you use to remove a jumper, or you may
bend or break the stake pins on the board.

Safety Cautions
Read all caution and safety statements in this document before performing any of the instructions.
See also Intel Server Boards and Server Chassis Safety Information at
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-010770.htm.
The power supply in this product contains no user-serviceable parts. There may be
more than one supply in this product. Refer servicing only to qualified personnel.
Do not attempt to modify or use the supplied AC power cord if it is not the exact type
required. A product with more than one power supply will have a separate AC power
cord for each supply.
The power button on the system does not turn off system AC power. To remove AC
power from the system, you must unplug each AC power cord from the wall outlet or
power supply.
The power cord(s) is considered the disconnect device to the main (AC) power. The
socket outlet that the system plugs into shall be installed near the equipment and shall
be easily accessible.
SAFETY STEPS: Whenever you remove the chassis covers to access the inside of
the system, follow these steps:
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
2. Turn off the system by pressing the power button.
3. Unplug all AC power cords from the system or from wall outlets.
4. Label and disconnect all cables connected to I/O connectors or ports on the
back of the system.
5. Provide some electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an
antistatic wrist strap attached to chassis ground of the system—any
unpainted metal surface—when handling components.
6. Do not operate the system with the chassis covers removed.
After you have completed the six SAFETY steps above, you can remove the system
covers. To do this:
1. Unlock and remove the padlock from the back of the system if a padlock has
been installed.
2. Remove and save all screws from the covers.
3. Remove the covers.

x
For proper cooling and airflow, always reinstall the chassis covers before turning on
the system. Operating the system without the covers in place can damage system
parts. To install the covers:
1. Check first to make sure you have not left loose tools or parts inside the
system.
2. Check that cables, add-in boards, and other components are properly
installed.
3. Attach the covers to the chassis with the screws removed earlier, and tighten
them firmly.
4. Insert and lock the padlock to the system to prevent unauthorized access
inside the system.
5. Connect all external cables and the AC power cord(s) to the system.
A microprocessor and heat sink may be hot if the system has been running. Also,
there may be sharp pins and edges on some board and chassis parts. Contact should
be made with care. Consider wearing protective gloves.
Danger of explosion if the battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same
or equivalent type recommended by the equipment manufacturer. Dispose of used
batteries according to manufacturer’s instructions.
The system is designed to operate in a typical office environment. Choose a site that
is:
Clean and free of airborne particles (other than normal room dust).
Well ventilated and away from sources of heat including direct sunlight.
Away from sources of vibration or physical shock.
Isolated from strong electromagnetic fields produced by electrical devices.
In regions that are susceptible to electrical storms, we recommend you plug
your system into a surge suppresser and disconnect telecommunication lines
to your modem during an electrical storm.
Provided with a properly grounded wall outlet.
Provided with sufficient space to access the power supply cord(s), because
they serve as the product’s main power disconnect.
