1. Introduction
This manual or Technical Product Specification (TPS) provides board-specific information
detailing the features, functionality, and high-level architecture of the Relion 1900e/2900e.
Design-level information related to specific server board components and subsystems can be obtained by
ordering External Product Specifications (EPS) or External Design Specifications (EDS) related to this
server generation. EPS and EDS documents are made available under NDA with Penguin Computing and
must be ordered through your local
Penguin Computing
representative. See the Reference Documents
section for a list of available documents.

1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Penguin Computing server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-density
VAVAGO and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Penguin ensures through its
own chassis 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 airflow required for their
specific application and environmental conditions. Penguin Computing cannot be held responsible if
components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of its published
operating or non-operating limits.
