Thermal Operation and Configuration Requirements
To keep the system operating within supported maximum thermal limits, the system must meet the following operating and configuration
guidelines:
• Ambient in-let temperature cannot exceed 35º C and should not remain at this maximum level for long periods of time. Doing so
may affect long term reliability of the system.
•The CPU-1 processor and CPU heatsink must be installed.
•DIMM Population on CPU-1: Install DIMMs in order; Channels A, B, and C. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each
channel.
• DIMM Population on CPU-2: Install DIMMs in order; Channels D, E, and F. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each
channel.
•All hard drive bays must be populated. Hard drive carriers either can be populated with a hard drive or supplied drive blank.
•The air duct must be installed at all times.
•In single power supply configurations, the second power supply bay must have the supplied filler blank installed at all times.
•The system top-cover must be installed at all times.

General Installation Process
The installation instructions in this section are for general components of Intel® Server System
P4000SC family, but the illustrations are based on the Intel® Server System P4308SC2MHGC.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
■Processor
■Heat Sink
■Memory
■Hard Disk Drives
■Power
■Air Duct
To avoid integration difficulties and possible damage to your system,
make sure you have components from each category below.
1
Preparing the System
Observe normal ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) procedures.
Place your Intel®Server System on a flat anti-static
surface to perform the following integration procedures.
Observe ESD procedures before reaching inside to make
server board connections or install components.
3Remove the Air Duct
ARemove the air duct.
A
4Remove Processor Heatsink(s)
The heatsink is attached to the server
board/processor socket with captive fasteners.
Lift the heatsink straight up.
A
C
Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop.
Similarly, loosen screws 3 and 4.
Repeat steps A and B by giving each
screw two rotations each time until
all screws are loosened.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver,
start with screw 1 and loosen it
by giving it two rotations and stop.
(IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
B
CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface material (TIM) on
the underside of it. Use caution so that you do not damage the
thermal interface material. Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four
screws located on the heatsink corners in a
diagonal manner using the following procedure:
