Preparing
the Chassis

Observe normal ESD 

(Electrostatic Discharge) 

procedures.

Place your 

Intel

®

 Server 

Chassis on a flat anti-static 

surface to perform the 

following integration 

procedures. Observe ESD 

procedures before 

reaching inside to make 

server board connections 

or install components.

IMPORTANT!

Before proceeding further, 

check your Intel

®

 Server 

System for disconnected 

or loose cables and 

components that may

Install Intel® Remote Management Module 3 (optional)

Attach the module bracket to

the chassis with two screws as 

shown. 

Note that screws install 

from the back of the chassis. 

Attach the RMM3 module bracket to the RMM3 module with two screws as shown.
Connect one end of the cable (labeled 'RMM3') to the RMM3 connector on the RMM3 module.  

Note that cable

connectors are keyed and can only go in one way.

Connect the opposite end of the cable (labeled 'server board') to the RMM3 connector on the server board.

Install I/O Expansion Module (optional)

Position the module

over the server 

board, fit the front 

of the module into 

the back panel 

slot(s), and then 

attach the module to

the server board 

connector and 

engage the standoffs.

Install the standoffs to the server board by pressing into the holes as shown.

Note: For the 1-socket module, 

install three standoffs as 

shown in gray. For the 

2-socket module, 

also install the 

fourth standoff as 

shown in red.

Squeeze the sides of the filler panel(s) to disengage it from the server system back panel and 

remove it.  

Note: If you are installing an I/O expansion module that uses only one slot, remove the 

filler panel  only from the slot shown so that the module can be attached to I/O Connector 1; do 

not remove the filler panel from the other slot.

Install Memory DIMMs

To Install DIMMs:

Memory Configurations and Population Order:

Note:  For additional memory configurations, see the Service Guide 

on the Intel

®

 Server Deployment Toolkit CD that accompanied 

your Intel

®

 Server System SR2625UR, or go to:  

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520ur/ 

Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified 

DIMMs approved by Intel. For a list of supported memory, see the 

tested memory list at:  

http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520ur/compat.htm

For best performance, a minimum of three DIMMs per CPU is recommended.  

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.  In order to maintain adequate thermal levels, DIMMs or DIMM 

blanks must be installed in the DIMM slots as per the following requirements:

  If you have only one processor installed, all CPU 1 DIMM slots 

  must either have a DIMM or DIMM blank installed.  You may 

  either leave the CPU 2 DIMM slots empty or store extra 

  blanks in the blue DIMM slots.

  If you have both processors installed, all blue DIMM slots in 

  CPU 1 and CPU 2 must either have a DIMM or a DIMM blank 

  installed.  You may store extra DIMM blanks in any of the 

  unused CPU 1 DIMM slots.

Open both DIMM socket levers.

Push down firmly on the DIMM until it

snaps into place and both levers close.

Insert DIMM making sure the connector edge 

of the DIMM aligns correctly with the slot.

IMPORTANT!  Visually check that each

latch is fully closed and correctly

Remove the Heatsink(s)

The heatsink is attached to the server board /

processor socket with captive fasteners.
Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, loosen the four 

screws located on the heatsink corners in a 

diagonal manner using the following procedure:

Lift the heatsink straight up.

This Side Up

Discard to Install CPU

  CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface 

  material (TIM) on the underside of it.  Use caution so 

      that you do not damage the thermal interface material.  

  Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.

 

Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with 

 

screw 1 and loosen it by giving it two rotations 

 

and stop. 

(IMPORTANT: Do not fully loosen.) 

 

Repeat steps A and B by giving each screw 

 

two rotations each time until all screws are 

 

loosened.

 

Proceed to screw 2 and loosen it by giving it two 

 

rotations and stop. Similarly, loosen screws 3 

 

and 4.

Install the Heatsink(s)

TIM

Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a 

diagonal manner using the following procedure:

Note:  Heatsink styles may vary.

Remove the protective film on the TIM if present.

 

Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw

          threads by giving it two rotations and stop. 

(Do not fully tighten.) 

 

 

Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time 

 

until each screw is lightly tightened up to a maximum of 

 

8 inch-lbs torque.

 

Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two 

 

rotations and stop. Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4. 

D

  CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface 

  material (TIM) on the underside of it.  Use caution so 

      that you do not damage the thermal interface material.  

  Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
