2.11.2 PCI Cooling Area
The 40 Ч 40 Ч 28 mm single-rotor PCI fan cools the portions of the BB, PDB, and EFP that are in this
area as well as any PCI adapter card installed in the riser card assembly.
The PCI fan draws in air through the front bezel exhausts it out the rear of the system. A plastic air
duct directs the air flow in this area, houses the PCI fan, and provides air flow barriers between:
• The front panel board and the PCI cooling areas
• The PCI and the CPU-Memory-HDD cooling areas.
A second plastic part located behind the PCI air duct continues the air flow barrier between the PCI
cooling area and the CPU/memory/HDD cooling area. The riser card provides the third and final
portion of the air flow barrier between the PCI cooling area and the CPU/memory/HDD cooling area.
2.11.3 CPU/Memory/HDD Cooling Area
The NSW1U system uses three 40 Ч 40 Ч 28 mm single-rotor fans that are assembled to a sheet
metal bracket.
The NSW1U system draws air in through the front bezel and exhausts out the rear of the chassis. The
CPU/memory/HDD cooling area air flow path is isolated from the rest of the system by the PCI air
ducts and riser card. The hard drives pre-heat the air entering the CPU/memory air duct.
2.12 Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the requirements
outlined below. For a list of qualified components, see Section 1.4, “Additional Information and
Software” on page 10 .
2.12.1 Processor
The server board accommodates a Dual-Core Intel ® Xeon ® processor 5100 series or a Quad-Core
Intel ® Xeon ® processor 5400 series.
2.12.2 Memory
The S5000PHB server board supports up to six DDR2-533 or DDR2-667 Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD
memory) in six DIMM slots across two channels, Channel 0 and Channel 1. Channel 0 consists of
DIMM sockets A1, A2, and A3. Channel 1 consists of DIMM sockets B1, B2, and B3. See Section 3.3.2,
“Configuring Memory DIMMs” on page 32 for population rules and configuration information.
