features, functionality, and high-level architecture of the Intel®Server System SR2612UR. You
can also reference the Intel®Server Board S5520UR Technical Product Specification to obtain
greater detail of functionality and architecture specific to the integrated server board and learn
about what is supported on this server system.
In addition, you can obtain design-level information for specific subsystems by ordering the
External Product Specifications (EPS) or External Design Specifications (EDS) for a given
subsystem. EPS and EDS documents are not publicly available. They are only made available
under NDA with Intel and must be ordered through your local Intel representative. Refer to the
Reference Documents section at the end of this document for a complete list of available
documents.
The Intel®Server System SR2612UR may contain design defects or errors known as errata,
which may cause the product to deviate from published specifications. Refer to the Intel®Server
Board S5520UR/Intel®Server System SR2612UR Specification Update for published errata.

1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-
density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ensures
through its own system development and testing that when Intel server building blocks are used
together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of these
components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who 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 cannot 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.

2.1.1 Processor Support
The server board supports the following processors:
One or two Intel®Xeon®Processor 5500 Series with a 4.8 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, or 6.4 GT/s
Intel®QPI link interface.
Up to 95-W Thermal Design Power (TDP); processors having higher TDP are not
supported.
This server board does not support previous generations of the Intel®Xeon®processors.
For a complete updated list of supported processors, see:
http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/SR2612UR/
On the Support tab, look for Compatibility and then Supported Processor List.
2.1.1.1 Processor Population Rules
Note: Although the server board does support dual-processor configurations consisting of
different processors that meet the following defined criteria, Intel does not perform validation
testing of this configuation. For optimal system performance in dual-processor configurations,
Intel recommends the installatoin of identical processors.

Product Overview Intel® Server System SR2612UR TPS

Intel order number E76293-003
When using a single processor configuration, you must install the processor into the processor
socket labeled CPU1. A terminator is not required in the second processor socket when using a
single processor configuration.
When two processors are installed, the following population rules apply:
Both processors must be of the same processor family.
Both processors must have the same front-side bus (FSB) speed.
Both processors must have the same cache size.
Processors with different speeds can be mixed in a system, given the prior rules are met.
If this condition is detected, all processor speeds are set to the lowest common
denominator (highest common speed) and an error is reported.
Processor stepping within a common processor family can be mixed as long as it is
listed in the processor specification updates published by Intel Corporation.
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all
Intel®server boards and systems that use the Intel®5520 Chipset. The errors fall into one of the
following two categories:
Fatal:If the system can boot, it goes directly to the error manager, regardless of
whether the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled or disabled.
Major:If the “Post Error Pause” setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the
error manager. Otherwise, the system continues to boot and no prompt is given for the
error. The error is logged to the error manager.
Table 2. Mixed Processor Configurations

Severity
System Action

The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the system event log (SEL).
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI
command.
Does not disable the processor.
Displays “0194: Processor family mismatch detected” message
in the error manager.
Halts the system.

The BIOS detects the error condition and responds as follows:
Logs the error into the SEL.
Alerts the Integrated BMC of the configuration error with an IPMI

Displays “0192: Cache size mismatch detected” message in the
error manager.
Halts the system.
