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.

Preface
About this Manual
Thank you for purchasing and using the Intel® Compute Module MFS5520VI.
This manual is written for system technicians who are responsible for troubleshooting,
upgrading, and repairing compute modules. This document provides reference
information, feature information, and step-by-step instructions for adding and replacing
components in the compute module. For the latest version of this manual,see http://
www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/MFS5520VI/.
Manual Organization
Chapter 1 provides a brief overview of the compute module. This includes a list of the
compute module features, illustrations of the product, and product diagrams to help you
identify components and their locations.
Chapter 2 provides instructions for adding and replacing components. It provides step-by-
step instructions and diagrams for installing or replacing components such as the
processors, memory DIMMs, and other components.
Chapter 3 provides information regarding the BIOS Setup Utility and how to update the
compute module BIOS. This section includes information on how to access and use the
BIOS Setup Utility as well as update the compute module firmware using the Intel®
Modular Server Control UI and the latest Intel® Modular Server System MFSYS25/
MFSYS35 Unified Firmware Update (UFU).
Chapter 4 provides information to assist you in troubleshooting the Intel® Compute
Module MFS5520VI. This section also includes information on hardware diagnostics.
The back of this manual provides technical specifications, regulatory information,"getting
help" information, and the warranty.

Warnings
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the compute module enclosure
cover to access components inside the chassis. Only a technically qualified person should
maintain or configure the chassis.
Heed safety instructions: 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.
Compute module power on/off: The power button turns off only DC power to the
compute module; standby power is still present in the compute module. To remove all
power from the compute module, uninstall or remove the compute module from the
chassis.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be
present on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the chassis and
disconnect the power cord, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached
to the chassis 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 document
only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by
wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface)
on your chassis when handling parts.
ESD and handling electronic devices: Always handle electronic devices carefully. They
can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Do not touch the connector contacts.
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 pins on the board.
Reinstalling enclosure cover: To protect internal components and for proper cooling and
airflow, the compute module should not be inserted into the chassis with the cover
removed; operating it without the enclosure cover in place can damage compute module
parts.

2-3 If these pins are jumpered, the CMOS settings are cleared
immediately. These pins should not be jumpered for normal
