1Introduction
This Technical Product Specification (TPS) provides specific information detailing the features,
functionality, and high-level architecture of the Intel®Server Board S2600KP product family
and the Intel®Compute Module HNS2600KP product family.
Design-level information related to specific server board components and subsystems can be
obtained by ordering External Product Specifications (EPS) or External Design Specifications
(EDS) related to this server generation. EPS and EDS documents are made available under
NDA with Intel and must be ordered through your local Intel representative. See the Reference
Documents section for a list of available documents.

1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI (Very Large Scale
Integration) and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures
through its own chassis development and testing that when Intel server building blocks are
used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of
these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to use
Intel developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating
parameters to determine the amount of air flow required for their specific application and
environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot 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.

2Product Features Overview
The Intel®Server Board S2600KP product family is a monolithic printed circuit board (PCB)
assembly with features designed to support the high performance and high density
computing markets. This server board is designed to support the Intel®Xeon®processor E5-
2600 v3/v4 product family. Previous generation Intel®Xeon®processors are not supported.
The Intel®Server Board S2600KP product family contains two server board options. Many of
the features and functions of the server board family are common. A board will be identified
by its name which has described features or functions unique to it.
S2600KPFR –With onboard InfiniBand* controller providing one external rear QSFP+
port
Figure 1. Intel®Server Board S2600KPFR (demo picture)
S2600KPR –Without onboard InfiniBand* controller, no external rear QSFP+ port
The Intel®Compute Module HNS2600KP product family provides two compute module
options, each integrated with either of the server board from the Intel®Server Board S2600KP
product family.
