CAUTION: Observe normal ESD (ElectroStatic
Discharge) procedures to avoid possible damage to
system components.
DIMM notch and socket bump must align as shown below.
6Install Processor Heatsink(s)
NOTE: Heatsink styles may vary.
Remove the protective film on the TIM if present.
D
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.

BAlign heatsink fins to the front and back of
the chassis for correct airflow.
Airflow goes from front-to-back of chassis.
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and
should be tightened in a diagonal manner using
the following procedure:
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver,
start with screw 1 and engage screw
threads by giving it two rotations
and stop. (Do not fully tighten.)
Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw
threads by giving it two rotations and
stop. Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4.
Repeat steps Cand Dby giving each
screw two rotations each time until
each screw is lightly tightened up to
a maximum of 8 inch-lbs torque.

Memory Configurations and Population Order:
Intel® Server Board S2400EP
For best performance, a minimum of four DIMMs per CPU is recommended, populated in the blue slot of each memory channel.
In a single-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first.
In a dual-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first for CPU 1 and D1 DIMM first for CPU2.
NOTE: For additional memory configurations, see the Service Guide on the Intel®Server Deployment & Management DVD that accompanied your Intel®
Server System, or go to http://www.intel.com/support.
Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified DIMMs approved by Intel. For a list of supported memory, go to
http://serverconfigurator.intel.com.
