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 inlet 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 pro 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 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, C, and D. Start with 1
st
DIMM slot (blue) on each channel, then slot 2,
then slot 3 (24 DIMM board). Only remove DIMM blanks when populating the slot with a DIMM.
