1. Introduction
This technical product specification (TPS) provides a high-level overview of the features, functions,
architecture, and support specifications of the Intel® Server System M70KLP product family.
The Intel® Server System M70KLP is a purpose-built system that delivers power and performance at a peak
efficiency in a 2U rack mount server form factor. It features the 3rd Gen Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor
family in a four-socket configuration, delivering high core count and new hardware-enhanced security
features. Previous generation Intel® Xeon® processor and Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor families are not
supported.
With support for up to 48 DDR4 DIMMs, the system provides high memory bandwidth for memory intensive
workloads. Increase the amount of memory or add memory persistence by adding high capacity Intel®
Optane™ persistent memory 200 series modules.
Flexible I/O capabilities include support for optional high-speed networking using Intel network adapters for
OCP* 3.0 (small form factor); up to twenty-four (24) 2.5” hot swap capable front drive bays; and up to ten (10)
PCIe* add-in cards with optional riser card options. Slim-PCIe connectors on the server board add additional
flexibility by providing the option to increase the number of PCIe add-in cards to twelve (12) and/or provide
NVMe* SSD support to the front drive bays.

2.1 System Features Overview
The following illustration identifies the major features of the Intel® Server System M70KLP.
Figure 4. System Features Overview
The Standard and GPU Enabled systems will each include an air duct designed to meet the specific airflow
and features requirements of the system.
The Standard air duct will accommodate 2U processor heat sinks and allow support for up to three (3) half-
length PCIe add-in cards from Riser #0 and up to three (3) half-length PCIe add-in cards from Riser #1.
Mounted atop the air duct are an M.2 interface board capable of support up to two (2) SATA M.2 SSDs, and
mounting features to support up to three (3) Intel® RAID Maintenance Free Backup (RMFBU) modules.
Figure 5. Standard System Air Duct

The low-profile air duct used in the GPU enabled system option will accommodate 1U processor heat sinks
and allow support for one (1) GPU add-in card (Full-Height Full-Length Double-wide) + one (1) Full-Height
Half-Length PCIe add-in card from each riser card assembly. Mounted atop the air duct is an M.2 interface
board capable of supporting up to two (2) M.2 SATA SSDs, and a mounting feature to support one (1) Intel®
RAID Maintenance Free Backup (RMFBU) module.
Figure 6. Low Profile Air Duct (GPU Systems Only)
The following illustrations identify the features found on the back panel for both the Standard and GPU
enabled system options. All I/O connectors, buttons, LEDs, OCP support, and power supply bays will be
common between the two system options.
The base Standard system option supports up to six (6) server board mounted PCIe* 3.0 add-in cards. Riser
card options can add support for an additional six (6) PCIe 3.0 add-in cards

Some riser card add-in slots require that PCIe bus lanes be cabled to the riser cards from one or more of the PCIe
slim-line connectors on the server board.

The GPU enabled system option supports up to four (4) server board mounted PCIe 3.0 add-in cards. Two
PCIe riser cards can each support one (1) Full-Height Full-Length Double-Wide GPU add-in card + one (1)
Full-Height Half Length PCIe 3.0 add-in card1.
Figure 8. GPU Enabled System –Back Panel Features
The system has support for two AC 2000 Watt (80-Plus Platinum) hot-swap capable power supply modules.
Supported power supply operating modes include: 1+1 Redundant and 2+0 combined power.
Figure 9. Power Supply Module
Important Note: All integrated L9 system configurations from Intel will draw greater than 1000W of power
when running medium to heavy workloads. To support this power requirement, systems must be connected
to a 220V AC input power source to operate. A system running a medium to heavy workload while connected
to a 110V AC input power source will not operate correctly.

The system has support options for 8, 16, or 24 front drive bays. Each drive bay includes a drive carrier that
must be populated with a 2.5” drive (SSD or HDD) or supplied drive blank. Each set of eight drive bays is
supported by a common backplane. All drives attached to a common backplane must match media type
(SSD or HDD). Mixing drive storage media types within a common backplane is not supported. In addition, all
drives attached to a common backplane must share a common interface type (SATA/SAS or NVMe).
