Appendix A.
Integration and Usage Tips
•
When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, you must remove AC power
cord. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-V standby is still present even though the server
board is powered off.
•
This server board supports Intel
®
Xeon
®
Processor E3-1200 V5 and V6 product family with a Thermal
Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 80 Watts. Previous generation Intel
®
Xeon
®
processors are not
supported.
•
On the back edge of the server board are EIGHT diagnostic LEDs that display a sequence of amber POST
codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST, the LEDs display the last POST
event run before the hang.
•
Only Unbuffered DDR4 DIMMs (UDIMMs) are supported on this server board. Mixing of RDIMMs and
UDIMMs is not supported.
•
Clear CMOS with the AC power cord plugged in. Removing AC power before performing the CMOS Clear
operation causes the system to automatically power up and immediately power down after the CMOS
Clear procedure is followed and AC power is re-applied. If this happens, remove the AC power cord, wait
30 seconds, and then re-connect the AC power cord. Power up the system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS
Setup Utility to reset the desired settings.
•
Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the Force BMC Update jumper set to the “enabled” position
(pins 2-3). You should never run the server with the Force BMC Update jumper set in this position and
should only use the jumper in this position when the standard firmware update process fails. This jumper
must remain in the default (disabled) position (pins 1-2) when the server is running normally.
•
This server board no longer supports the Rolling BIOS (two BIOS banks). It implements the BIOS Recovery
mechanism instead.
•
When performing a normal BIOS update procedure, you must set the BIOS Recovery jumper to its default
position (pins 1-2).
