1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel 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 air flow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.

3.3 Processor Subsystem
The Intel® 5500 series and the next generation Intel® 5600 series processors support the following key technologies: Intel® Integrated Memory Controller Point-to-point link interface based on the Intel® QuickPath Interconnect (Intel® QPI), which was formerly known as the Common System Interface (CSI). The Intel® 5500 series processor is a multi-core processor based on the 45 nm process technology. Processor features vary by SKU and include up to two Intel® QPI point-to-point links capable of up to 6.4 GT/s, up to 8 MB of shared cache, and an integrated memory controller. The Intel® 5600 series processor is the next generation of multi-core processors based on the 32 nm process technology. Processor features vary by SKU and include up to 6 cores and up to 12 MB of shared cache.
3.3.1 Processor Support
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports the following processors: One or two Intel® 5500 series or 5600 series processor(s) in FC-LGA 1366 socket B package with 4.8 GT/s, 5.86 GT/s, or 6.4 GT/s Intel® QPI. Up to 95 W Thermal Design Power (TDP). Supports Low Voltage (LV) processors.
3.3.2 Processor Population Rule s
For optimum performance, when two processors are installed, both must be the identical revision and have the same core voltage and Intel® QPI/core speed. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled CPU1. The other socket must be empty. You must populate processors in sequential order. Therefore, you must populate processor socket 1 (CPU1) before processor socket 2 (CPU2). When a single processor is installed, no terminator is required in the second processor socket.
3.3.2.1 Mixed Processor Configurations
The following table describes mixed processor conditions and recommended actions for all Intel® server boards and systems that use the Intel® 5500 Chipset. The errors fall into one of the following two categories: Fatal: If the system can boot, it goes directly to the error manager, regardless of whether the Post Error Pause setup option is enabled or disabled. Major: If the Post Error Pause setup option is enabled, the system goes directly to the error manager. Otherwise, the system continues to boot and no prompt is given for the error. The error is logged to the error manager.

(Accelerated Graphics Port), and so forth, through the appropriate bridges. going to the second processor and one going to the Intel® 5500 chipset IOH. Figure 15. Intel® QPI Link
Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Functional Architecture Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 In the current implementation, Intel® QPI ports are capable of operating at transfer rates of up to 6.4 GT/s. Intel® QPI ports operate at multiple lane widths (full - 20 lanes, half - 10 lanes, and quarter - 5 lanes) independently in each direction between a pair of devices communicating via the Intel® QPI. The server boards support full-width communication only. For more information see the Intel® QPI Overview Rev 1.04 (Document#: 380531)
3.4 Intel® QuickPath Memory Controller
The Intel® 5500 series and 5600 series processors have an integrated memory controller on its package. Each processor produces up to three channels of DDR3 memory. The Intel® QPI Memory Controller supports DDR3 800, DDR3 1066, and DDR3 1333 memory technologies. The memory controller supports both Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) and Unbuffered DIMMs (UDIMMs). Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported.
3.4.1 Supported Memory
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports six DDR3 memory channels (three per processor socket) with two DIMMs on the first channel and one DIMM on the second and third channels of each processor. Therefore, the server board supports up to 8 DIMMs with dual-processor sockets with a maximum memory capacity of 128 GB. The server board supports DDR3 800, DDR3 1067, and DDR3 1333 memory technologies. Memory modules of mixed speed are supported by automatic selection of the highest common frequency of all memory modules. The following configurations are not supported, validated or recommended: Mixing of RDIMMs and UDIMMs is not supported Mixing of memory type, size, speed and/or rank has not been validated and is not supported Mixing memory vendors has not been validated and is not recommended Non-ECC memory has not been validated and is not supported in a server environment Note: Mixed memory is not tested or supported. Non-ECC memory is not tested and is not recommended for use in a server environment The Intel® Server Board S5500WB uses a 2:1:1 memory DIMM layout. A 2:1:1 layout was chosen for its lowest power for a particular bandwidth and because it allows the maximum possible bandwidth when a 1:1:1 memory population is used.
3.4.2 Memory Subsystem Nomenclature
DIMMs are organized into physical slots on DDR3 memory channels that belong to processor sockets.
channels from socket 2 are identified as Channels D, E, and F. Channel A on processor 1; DIMM_D1 is the first DIMM socket on Channel D on processor 2. Table 5. DIMM Nomenclature such as RAS, Error Management, and so forth, are applied commonly across sockets.
3.4.3 ECC Support
If at least one non-ECC DIMM is present in the system, the system reverts to non-ECC mode. validated and not recommended for server use.
3.4.4 Memory Reservation for Memory -mapped Functions

support this feature. For details, see the relevant operating system manuals.
3.4.6 Memory Population Rules
You should populate the memory slots of DDR3 channels furthest from the processor first. Therefore, if A1 is empty, you cannot populate/use A2. Figure 16. Memory Channel Population

3.4.8 Channel-Independent Mode
In the Independent Channel mode, you can populate multiple channels in any order (for example, you can populate channels B and C while channel A is empty). Also, DIMMs on adjacent channels do not need to have identical parameters. Therefore, all DIMMs are enabled and used in the Independent Channel mode. Adjacent slots on channels A and D do not need matching size and organization. However, the speed of the channel is configured to the maximum common speed of the DIMMs. The single channel mode is established using the independent channel mode by populating DIMM slots from channel A only.
3.4.9 Memory RAS
The memory RAS offered by the Intel® 5500 series and 5600 series processors is performed at channel level (for example, during mirroring, channel B mirrors channel A). All DIMM matching requirements are on a slot-to-slot basis on adjacent channels. For example, to enable mirroring, corresponding slots on channels A and B must have DIMMS of identical parameters. If one socket fails, the population requirements for RAS, the BIOS sets all six channels to the Independent Channel mode. One exception to this rule is when all DIMM slots from a socket are empty (for example, when only DIMM slots A1, B1, and C1 are populated, mirroring is possible on the platform).
3.4.9.1 Memory Population for Channel Mirroring Mode
The mirrored configuration is a redundant image of the memory, and can continue to operate despite the presence of sporadic uncorrectable errors. Channel mirroring is a RAS feature in which two identical images of memory data are maintained, thus providing maximum redundancy. On the Intel® 5500 series based Intel server boards, mirroring is achieved across channels. Active channels hold the primary image and the other channels hold the secondary image of the system memory. The integrated memory controller in the processor alternates between both channels for read transactions. Under normal circumstances, write transactions are issued to both channels. Mirroring is only supported between Channels A & B and Channels D & E. The presence of a DIMM on Channel C or F causes the BIOS to disable Mirroring and revert to the Independent Channel mode.

Functional Architecture Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Intel order number E53971-008 The functionality provided by the SPS firmware is different from Intel® Active Management Technology (Intel® AMT or AT) provided by the ME on client platforms. Server Platform Services are value-added platform management options that enhance the value of Intel platforms and their component ingredients (CPUs, chipsets, and I/O components). Each service is designed to function independently wherever possible, or grouped together with one or more features in flexible combinations to allow OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) to differentiate platforms. The following is a high-level view of the Intel® Server Board S5500WB SPS functions. Node Management Features: o NPTM Policy Manager o Power Supply Monitoring Service o Inlet Temperature Monitoring Service o CPU Power Limiting Service Provide Access to ICH10R Devices: The ME has control of ICH10R platform instrumentation. SPS provides a mechanism for the BMC to access this instrumentation through IPMI OEM commands. Use of this capability on Intel servers is platform-/SKU-specific. o ICH10 temperature monitoring PECI 2.0 Proxy: SPS offers a means for a BMC without a PECI 2.0 interface to use the ME as a PECI proxy. The BMC on Intel servers already has a PECI 2.0 interface, so this SPS capability is not used.
3.7 Intel® 82801Jx I/O Controller Hub (ICH10 R)
The Intel® 82801Jx I/O Controller Hub (ICH10R) provides extensive I/O support and supports the following features and specifications: PCI Express* Base Specification, Revision 1.1 support ACPI Power Management Logic Support, Revision 3.0a Enhanced DMA controller, interrupt controller, and timer functions Integrated Serial ATA host controllers with independent DMA operation on up to six ports and AHCI support USB host interface with support for up to 12 USB ports; six UHCI host controllers; and two EHCI high-speed USB 2.0 host controllers System Management Bus (SMBus) Specification, Version 2.0 with additional support for I2C devices Low Pin Count (LPC) interface support Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) support
3.7.1 Serial ATA Support
The ICH10R has an integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller that supports independent DMA operation on six ports and data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s. The six SATA ports on the
Intel® Server Bo ard S5500WB TPS Functional Architecture Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 server board are numbered SATA-1 through SATA-6. You can enable or disable the SATA ports and/or configure them by accessing the BIOS setup utility during POST.
3.7.1.1 Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II
The onboard storage capability of these server boards includes support for Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II (Intel® ESRTII), which provides three standard software RAID levels: data stripping (RAID Level 0), data mirroring (RAID Level 1), and data stripping with mirroring (RAID Level 10). For higher performance, you can use data stripping to alleviate disk bottlenecks by taking advantage of the dual independent DMA engines that each SATA port offers. Data mirroring is used for data security. If a disk fails, a mirrored copy of the failed disk is brought online. There is no loss of either PCI resources (request/grant pair) or add-in card slots. With the addition of an optional Intel® RAID Activation Key, Intel® ESRTII is also capable of providing fault tolerant data stripping (software RAID Level 5), such that if a SATA hard drive fails, you can restore the lost data on a replacement drive from the other drives that make up the RAID 5 pack. Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology functionality requires the following items: ICH10R IO Controller Hub Software RAID option is selected on BIOS menu for SATA controller Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II Option ROM Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II drivers, most recent revision At least two SATA hard disk drives
3.7.1.2 Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II Option ROM
The Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II for SATA Option ROM provides a pre- operating system user interface for the Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II implementation and provides the ability to use an Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II volume as a boot disk as well as to detect any faults in the Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II volume(s). 3.7.2 USB 2.0 Support The USB controller functionality integrated into ICH10R provides the server board with an interface for up to 12 USB 2.0 ports. All ports are high-speed, full-speed, and low-speed capable. Four external connectors are located on the back edge of the server board. Two internal 2x5 headers are provided, capable of supporting two optional USB 2.0 ports each, typically, one header supports Front panel USB and one supports an internal third party management card. One internal low-profile 2x5 header is provided One Internal Type A USB vertical connector is provided for attaching standard peripherals The BMC consumes 2 ports, for a total of 12 Ports

Platform Management Features Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 5. Platform Management Features This section explains BIOS and firmware (FW) requirements that drive specific hardware implementations of the platform. To a large extent, this is background information.
5.1 BIOS Feature Overview
The Intel® Server Board S5500WB product uses the AMI Aptio v3.x code base.
5.1.1 EFI Support
The platform BIOS is compiled to support the 64-bit EFI environment, natively. This allows operating systems that are EFI-aware to take advantage of the EFI-boot process in a native 64- bit environment. It is expected this will reduce the time required to boot the platform to those operating systems. Additionally, any utilities that make use of the EFI environment provided by the platform BIOS need to support either the native 64-bit environment or make use of the EFI byte code (EBC). Of course, to maintain compatibility with legacy operating environments, a legacy boot option is provided.
5.1.2 BIOS Recovery
The platform BIOS supports a BIOS Recovery Mode Jumper. The BIOS samples this jumper during POST through a GPIO and, if set, defaults to a recovery mode of operation that allows restoration of the BIOS Flash to a full operational state. The platform BIOS supports a Reset BIOS Configuration Jumper. The BIOS samples this jumper during POST through a GPIO and, if set, resets its configuration information stored in Flash memory.
5.2 BMC Feature Overview
The server management subsystem consists of multiple components including several interconnected microcontrollers. The subsystem monitors platform sensors (temperatures, voltages, fans, hard drives, and so forth); implements platform acoustics, power, and thermal management policies; provides an intelligent LCD front-panel; and provides facilities for remote and local management. The server management subsystem is available when the system is connected to wall power but not fully operational (S5 state); when the system is in a S1 sleep state or when the system is fully operational (S0 state).
5.2.1 Server Engines Pilot II Controller
The center of the server management subsystem is the Server Engines Pilot II integrated Baseboard Management Controller. This device provides support for many platform functions including system video capabilities, legacy Super I/O functions, and also provides an ARM 926- EJ microcontroller to host the embedded server management firmware stack.
Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Platform Management Features Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 The Server Engines Pilot II baseboard management controller across Intel’s server product line with two different management feature set configurations: Basic and Advanced. The Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports both. Basic features include IPMI 2.0 support, remote management, hardware monitoring, event management, event alerting, system event log, asset inventory, console redirection, web interface, and SMASH CLP (basic feature set). Advanced features include the Basic features plus KVM redirection, USB Media redirection, SMASH CLP (Advanced feature set), and WS-MAN. To enable the Advanced features, you must install the Remote Management Module 3. Note: The BMC consumes two USB ports; one runs at USB1.1 for keyboard mouse redirection and one runs at USB2.0 for media redirection.
5.2.2 BMC Firmware
The BMC supports a Fast Firmware Update mode in addition to the standard KCS (Keyboard Controller Style) SMS interface. This is a special AMI® proprietary protocol that goes over the USB connection between the host and the BMC. Called ―IPMI over USB‖, it is implemented in the LIBIPMI library on both host and BMC sides to transfer large blocks of data (up to 32 K) much faster than KCS can. IPMI commands are embedded in data written/read to a virtual CD- ROM device. The embedded server management firmware stack is based on a core stack from American Megatrends Incorporated (AMI). The stack runs on an embedded version of the Linux operating system and provides support for current industry standard management interfaces (IPMI 2.0) and emerging industry standard advanced management interfaces (SMASH-CLP and WS- MAN). The stack also includes support for keyboard, video, mouse (KVM), and USB media redirection. The server management subsystem provides remote connectivity through a single GbE NIC with NC-SI support (RMII). NPTM support is required; you must use the ME function in the IOH to accomplish this.

5.3.2 BMC - Management Engine Interaction
Management Engine-Integrated BMC interactions include the following: Integrated BMC stores sensor data records for ME-owned sensors. Integrated BMC participates in ME firmware update. Integrated BMC initializes ME-owned sensors based on SDRs. Integrated BMC receives platform event messages sent by the ME. Integrated BMC notifies ME of POST completion.
5.4 Data Center Manageability Interface
The DCMI specifications are derived from Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) 2.0. The DCMI specifications define a uniform set of monitoring, control features and interfaces that target the common and fundamental hardware management needs of server systems that are used in large deployments within data centers, such as Internet Portal data centers. This includes capabilities such as secure power and reset control, temperature monitoring, event logging, and others. For more information refer to www.intel.com/go/dcmi.
5.5 Other Platform Management
The platform supports the following sleep states, S1 and S5. Within S0, the platform supports additional lower power states, such as C1e and C6, for the CPU.
5.5.1 Wake On LAN (WOL)
Wake On LAN (WOL) is supported on both LAN ports and IOM LAN modules for all supported Sleep states. Wake on Ring is supported on the external Serial port only for all supported Sleep states. Wake on USB is supported on the rear and front panel USB ports for S1 only. Wake on RTC is supported for all supported Sleep states. Wake IPMI command is supported (BMC function no additional hardware requirement) for all supported Sleep states.
5.5.2 PCI Express* Power management
L0 and L3 power management states are supported on all PCI Express* slots and embedded end points.
5.5.3 PMBus*
Power supplies that have PMBus* 1.1 are supported and required to support Intel® Dynamic Power Node Manager. Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports the features of Intel® Dynamic Power Node Manager version 1.5 except the inlet temperature sensor.

Connector/Header Locations a nd Pin-out Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 Combined system BIOS and the Integrated BMC support provide the functionality of the various supported control panel buttons and LEDs. The following sections describe the supported functionality of each control panel feature.
7.3.1 Power Button
The BIOS supports a front control panel power button. Pressing the power button initiates a request that the Integrated BMC forwards to the ACPI power state machines in the chipset. It is monitored by the Integrated BMC and does not directly control power on the power supply. Power Button — Off to On The Integrated BMC monitors the power button and the wake-up event signals from the chipset. A transition from either source results in the Integrated BMC starting the power- up sequence. Since the processors are not executing, the BIOS does not participate in this sequence. The hardware receives the power good and reset signals from the Integrated BMC and then transitions to an ON state. Power Button — On to Off (operating system absent) The System Control Interrupt (SCI) is masked. The BIOS sets up the power button event to generate an SMI and checks the power button status bit in the ACPI hardware registers when an SMI occurs. If the status bit is set, the BIOS sets the ACPI power state of the machine in the chipset to the OFF state. The Integrated BMC monitors power state signals from the chipset and de-asserts PS_PWR_ON to the power supply. As a safety mechanism, if the BIOS fails to service the request, the Integrated BMC automatically powers off the system in four to five seconds. Power Button — On to Off (operating system present) If an ACPI operating system is running, pressing the power button switch generates a request via SCI to the operating system to shut down the system. The operating system retains control of the system and the operating system policy determines the sleep state into which the system transitions, if any. Otherwise, the BIOS turns off the system.
7.3.2 Reset Button
The platform supports a front control panel reset button. Pressing the reset button initiates a request forwarded by the Integrated BMC to the chipset. The BIOS does not affect the behavior of the reset button.
7.3.3 NMI Button
The BIOS supports a front control panel NMI button. The NMI button may not be provided on all front panel designs. Pressing the NMI button initiates a request that causes the Integrated BMC to generate an NMI (non-maskable interrupt). The NMI is captured by the BIOS during boot services time and by the operating system during runtime. During boot services time, the BIOS halts the system upon detection of the NMI.
7.3.4 Chassis Identify Button
The front panel Chassis Identify button toggles the state of the chassis ID LED. If the LED is off, pushing the ID button lights the LED. It remains lit until the button is pushed again or until a Chassis Identify or a Chassis Identify LED command is received to change the state of the LED.

- Unable to use all of the installed memory (more than one DIMM
- In a mirrored configuration, when memory mirroring takes place
- PCI Express* correctable link errors.
- Redundancy loss such as a power supply or fan. Applies only if
the associated platform subsystem has redundancy capabilities.
- CPU disabled – if there are two CPUs and one CPU is disabled.
- Fan alarm – Fan failure. Number of operational fans should be
more than minimum number needed to cool the system.
- Non-critical threshold crossed – Temperature, voltage, power
nozzle, power gauge, and PROCHOT2 (Therm Ctrl) sensors.
- Predictive failure when the system has redundant power
- In non-mirroring mode, if the threshold of ten correctable errors
- PCI Express* uncorrectable link errors.
- Critical threshold crossed – Voltage, temperature, power nozzle,
power gauge, and PROCHOT (therm Ctrl) sensors.
- Minimum number of fans to cool the system is not present or
- DIMM failure when there is one DIMM present and no good
- Run-time memory uncorrectable error in non-redundant mode.1
- CPU configuration error (for instance, processor stepping
- CPU CATERR signal asserted.
- No power good – power fault.
- Power Unit Redundancy sensor – Insufficient resources offset
(indicates not enough power supplies are present ).
- The BIOS detects these conditions and sends a Set Fault Indication command to the Integrated BMC to provide
the contribution to the system status LED.

Intel® Light-Guided Diagnostics Intel® Ser ver Board S5500WB TPS Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 8. Intel® Light-Guided Diagnostics The server boards have several onboard diagnostic LEDs to assist in troubleshooting board- level issues. This section provides a description the location and function of each LED on the server board. 8.1 5-V Standby LED Several server management features of this server board require a 5-V stand-by voltage is supplied from the power supply. Some of the features and components that require this voltage must be present when the system is ―Off‖ include the Integrated BMC, onboard NICs, and optional RMM3 connector with Intel® RMM3 installed. The LED is located in the lower-left corner of the server board and is labeled ―5VSB_LED‖ is illuminated when AC power is applied to the platform and 5-V standby voltage is supplied to the server board by the power supply.

9.2.2 Memory Temperature Sensor
DDR3 cooling requires thermal throttling to protect memory from overheating. The Intel® Server Board S5500WB supports both DDR3 UDIMM and DDR3 RDIMM. SPD temperature sensor on DIMM is anticipated to be available on all DDR3 RDIMM but not for non-ECC UDIMM, so open loop thermal throttling and closed loop thermal throttling are supported. Static open loop thermal throttling: The system does not change any of the control registers in the processor during runtime. OLTT control registers are configured by BIOS MRC and remain fixed after post. Static closed loop thermal throttling: The system does not change the control registers for a closed loop in the processor during runtime. CLTT control registers are configured by BIOS MRC. For advanced implementation with dynamic OLTT and CLTT, refer to the VR_Hot Sensor in VR11.1.
9.2.3 Board Temperature Sensor
For rack-based systems or those systems that do not have a front panel temp sensor, the board is enabled to use a board-mounted, industry standard TMP75 type temp sensor. This part is on the IBMC two-wire serial SENSOR bus. The use of digital parts removes calibration and placement location issues imposed by the alternate analog type sensors.
9.2.4 Thermals Sensor Placement
The I2C\\SMBUS based temp sensors are placed such that the ambient air temp can be measured. Placement near hot components and or downstream of hot components (including chassis-based hot spots) is avoided. The following figure shows the sensor placement on the Intel® Server Board S5500WB.

9.4 Errors
This section outlines how errors are routed in the hardware to ensure appropriate FW action (logging, fan control, system management, and so forth) is taken when an event occurs.
9.4.1 PROCHOT#
PROCHOT# is a bi-directional signal. The CPU toggles PROCHOT# when it goes into throttling mode. The duty cycle of PROCHOT# toggling indicates the amount of throttling initiated by the CPU. FW does not monitor PROCHOT# to determine CPU throttling percentage. Instead, it obtains outbound CPU throttling data via PECI. The path between the CPU’s and IBMC (TTL_CPU_PROCHOT#) is there as a backup. An external source can also toggle PROCHOT# to force the CPU to go into throttling mode. This usually happens when the system reaches a certain thermal threshold. VRHOT is an output of the CPU VR controller, which is capable of throttling the CPU via PROCHOT#. Some simple masking circuitry is required to prevent the VRHOT from asserting the PROCHOT# to the CPUs at the time of CPU_RST#. This keeps the VRHOT from unintentionally causing the CPU to disable. FW monitors VRHOT and creates a SEL event if VRHOT is asserted. There is no fan action as a result of the BMC seeing VRHOT.
9.4.2 THERMTRIP#
THERMTRIP# comes from the CPU. The THERMTRIP# signal is tied to a unique GPI on IBMC for FW to monitor. The combined THERMTRIP#’s from both CPUs is also tied to the ICH10R THERMTRIP input to cause an automatic Power Off condition when activated.
9.4.3 CATERR#
The CATERR# signal from the CPU signals a catastrophic error occurred. CATERR# may signal two types of issues. One type is a warning and is indicated by a pulse on the signal. The other is the static critical error, which is indicated by a continuously asserted level on the signal. The BMC only logs the static Critical Error events and ignores the warnings indicated by the pulse. An error on the CPU is immediately communicated to the ICH10R for notification.

Power Subsystem Intel® Server Board S5500WB TPS Revision 1.9 Intel order number E53971 -008 The SSI uses the standard 24-pin and 8-pin power headers along with the 5pin Control connector. The 12-V only uses two 8-pin power headers, a 7-pin control header and a 6 pin HDD power connector. For maximum rack server efficiency, a DC 12-V only power supply is recommended. Appendix A shows connector pin outs. PMbus communications between the power supply and server board must comply with both SMBus and I2C Bus timing requirements.
10.3 Power Sequencing and Reset Distribution
The IBMC device is integrated into the power control and reset logic of the system. This design reduces the discrete logic requirements of previous generations and at the same time permits FW to manage certain features related to the power on/off control and the reset logic.
