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 + CPU heatsink must be installed first. The CPU-2 heatsink must be installed at all times,
with or without a processor installed.
• Memory Slot population requirements:
NOTE: Specified memory slots either can be populated with a DIMM or supplied DIMM Blank. Memory population
rules apply when installing DIMMs.
▪ DIMM Population Rules on CPU-1
Install DIMMs in order; Channels A, B, and C. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then slot 2.
▪ DIMM Population Rules on CPU-2
Install DIMMs in order; Channels D, E, and F. Start with 1st DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then slot 2.
• 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.
• The system top-cover must be installed at all times.

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.

IMPORTANT!
Before proceeding
further, check your
Intel®Server System
for disconnected or
loose cables and
components that
may have occurred
during shipping.
3
Remove the Air Duct
Remove the air duct by
lifting straight up.

C
CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface material (TIM) on the bottom
side 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:
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and loosen it by
giving it two rotations and stop. (IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.)
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.

A. Update the System Software:
E. Install Intel® System Management Software (optional):
2. Use the Wizard to access the latest versions on the Internet and update the BIOS, firmware, FRUSDRs, and Intel® RMM4.
NOTE: You may also download files on a USB key. The FRUSDR utility must be run for full platform management functionality.
1. Boot from the Intel®Server Deployment & Management DVD.
If using a RAID card, use the instructions provided with the RAID controller. If using on-board RAID, you must activate RAID in the BIOS setup.
See the Intel®Server System R1000EP Service Guide for more information.
Use the instructions provided with the RAID controller and with the operating system.
With the operating system running, insert the Intel®Server Deployment & Management DVD. If using a Microsoft Windows* operating system, the Express Installer will
autorun and allow you to select the appropriate drivers to install. On other operating systems, browse the DVD folders to locate and install the driver files.
