Designers must not rely on the absence or characteristics of any features or instructions marked "reserved" or
"undefined." Intel reserves these for future definition and shall have no responsibility whatsoever for conflicts or
incompatibilities arising from future changes to them.
The Intel®Server Boards S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT may contain design defects or errors known as
errata which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Refer to the Intel®Server Boards
S5520HC, S5500HCV and S5520HCT Specification Update for published errata.
Intel Corporation server baseboards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that
need adequate airflow to cool. 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 air flow 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.
