I. Introduction
Product Description:
The IP Network Server NSC2U system is the second generation product of 2U IP
Network Server products, having long product life and 20-inch depth chassis. This
server combines network port density and processor performance in a compact 2U
package. The NSC2U supports a number of processor speeds for the Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon®5300 and 5400 series processors, coupling high performance with power
efficiency to provide improved performance-per-watt over previous-generation rack-
mount servers. The NSC2U also supports a number of processor speeds for the Dual-
Core Intel®Xeon®5100 series processors.
The NSC2U is an excellent choice for network data applications with large I/O
requirements, while providing extended lifecycle support, DC power capabilities,
compact form factor, and the ruggedness found on carrier-grade servers. Ideal for
network security, it is an excellent choice for intrusion detection/intrusion prevention,
VPN/firewall, and unified threat management solutions. In addition, it is a valuable
platform for running Telco SoIP, including IMS, IPTV, Video on Demand (VoD), SIP
application servers, IP-PBX, and IP-PSTN Gateways. Other network applications well-
suited for this platform are enterprise application acceleration and content caching.

Notes:
All above processors are on Intel’s long life roadmap.
The E5440 or L5410 processors are recommended with the NSC2U for highest
performance and longest availability and support. They are orderable from Kontron or
Intel using the indicated part numbers.
The above 5300 and 5100 processor SKUs are also supported on the NSC2U for legacy
purposes, and are orderable from Intel only.
Heatsinks
oOnly Tray processors are recommended with this product. The processor thermal
solution for this server must include the use of a copper heat sink (e.g. see
NSCSNKCLP01 in the Spares/Accessories list below). There are no clips needed
for this heat sink, since the heat sink includes captive screws.
oThe boxed processors previously listed in the “supported” table have been
removed since these now include an aluminum heat sink which does not provide
sufficient heat dissipation to meet thermal requirements. For this reason, Kontron
does not recommend the use of Boxed processors with this product.

Overview of Intel® PRO/1000 Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters:
The Intel® PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters provide in-line server
appliances, such as Intrusion Protection Servers (IPSes), with high-performance, low-latency, in-
line connectivity, and a bypass mode to ensure business continuity. These adapters also use the
PCI Express* serial bus for greater throughput, and they support Intel® I/O Acceleration
Technology (Intel® I/OAT) for further performance enhancement, including the reduced overhead
so important to IPS applications.
The Intel® PRO/1000 PT and PF Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters are intended for use by
equipment manufacturer hardware designers in application-specific in-line server appliances,
where a bypass mode is desirable. Given that equipment manufacturers typically write specific
software applications for their in-line platforms, Intel only provides open source reference drivers
for these adapters. Interested hardware designers may contact their local Intel representative for
additional product or purchase information.
More information on Intel® PRO/1000 Quad Port Bypass Server Adapters is available at:
http://www.intel.com/network/connectivity/products/pro1000_quad_bypass_server_adapters.

TMLPMOUNT41, TMLPMOUNT51 and TMLPMOUNT52
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series mounts Communication Rack Mount Servers to 2-post or 4-post racks.
TMLPMOUNT41 and TMLPMOUNT51 are used for mounting servers on 19-inch wide racks. These racks
are considered standard EIA (universal hole spacing) racks.
TMLPMOUNT52 is used for mounting servers on 23-inch wide racks. These racks could be standard EIA
(universal or wide hole spacing) or ETSI (European) racks.
TMLPMOUNT41/51/52 series are designed with a slide-in rail-type system. Although the mounts are
designed as rails, they are not sliding rails. This means the servers can be slid into the racks for
installation purpose, but the rails are not designed to support a mounted server during service.

Notes:
1. Extra care must be exercised with TMLPMOUNT41 to securely hold the server with one's hands when sliding it
out of the rack; otherwise, the server could fall to the ground as it is being removed.
2. Plastic strips on TMLPMOUNT41 have peeled off in some customer installations. The result of this is that the
parts are usable, but the server could have somewhat of a "scrape-in feel" rather than "slide in". Also, the rails
will fit sloppier, so the side-located chassis securing screws could be difficult to align in 2-post installations.
Replacement material is available from the plastic strip manufacturer.
3. Xylan is a tough, low-friction coating similar to Teflon.
4. EIA-Wide spacing doesn't have the interstitial hole that is present in EIA-Universal. TMLPMOUNT51 contains an
adapter bracket to overcome this EIA-Wide issue.
5. This component (2U Nut Bar) enables installation of a rail kit into a 1U rack slot when there is already equipment
installed both above and below that open slot.
6. The sides of the server must be accessible when using TMLPMOUNT41 in 2-post racks.

The diagrams above summarize the components and “slide-in rail-type” system of the TMLPMOUNT41. It
can be adapted for a 2-post or 4-post installation.

The main difference between the TMLPMOUNT41 and TMLPMOUNT51/52 series is that the
TMLPMOUNT41 series uses a screw to lock the server in place using the Universal Mounting Bracket,
whilst the TMLPMOUNT51/52 series has an additional Slide Pull-Out Locking feature.

TMLPSLIDE01
The TMLPSLIDE01 is an accessory kit designed for use in conjunction with slide rails to produce a rack
mounted serviceable server. The TMLPSLIDE01 kit contains two Universal Front Mounting Brackets that
secure the server to the front of the rack. The sliding rails and optional mounting brackets required to
mount the server must be purchased through the channel. For example, the Accuride 22-inch Model
305A-LR slide rails are designed to mount a server for “in-rack service.” This example would also use an
Accuride mounting bracket kit and the TMLPSLIDE01.

Note: Using slide rails could result in non-compliance with Seismic Zone 4 requirements of NEBS-3
certification.
