2.10.1 Front Panel Cooling Area
The left one-fourth of the SFP board and the portion of the power distribution board
(PDB) in this area are cooled by 40 x 40 x 56 mm PSU dual-rotor fans. One PSU fan is
sufficient to cool this portion of the front panel board area and two PSU fans provide
cooling redundancy for this area.
PSU fans draw air in through the front bezel and from vents in the left front side of the
chassis. The air is exhausted out the rear of the PSUs. The left wall of the PCI fan air
duct and the PSU guide wall provide an air flow barrier between the front panel board
cooling area and the PCI cooling area.
2.10.2 PCI Cooling Area
The 40 x 40 x 28 mm single-rotor PCI fan cools the portions of the server board, PDB,
and SFP that are in this area as well as a PCI add-in card installed in the riser card
assembly.
The PCI fan draws in air is through the front bezel and exhausts through 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 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 portion of the air flow barrier between the PCI cooling area and the CPU / memory
/ HDD cooling area.
2.10.3 CPU / Memory / HDD Cooling Area
The server uses four 40 x 40 x 56 mm dual-rotor fans that are assembled in a sheet
metal bracket attached to the chassis.
The server draws air in through the front bezel and exhausts it out the rear of the
chassis. The CPU / memory / HDD cooling area air flow path is isolated from the rest of
the system by an air duct and riser card. Air entering the CPU / memory air duct is
preheated by the hard drives.
2.11 Hardware Requirements
To avoid integration difficulties and possible board damage, your system must meet the
requirements outlined in the subsections below. For a list of qualified components, see
Section 1.4 , “Additional Information and Software” .
2.11.1 Processor
The S5000PHB server boardaccommodates two Dual-Core Intel ® Xeon ® processor
5100 Series or two Quad-Core Intel ® Xeon ® processor 5400 series.
2.11.2 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 3.4.2, “Configuring Memory DIMMs” on page 34
for population rules and configuration information.
