2. Set the heat sink over the processor, lining up the four captive screws with the four

posts surrounding the processor. Align the heat sink fins to the front and back of

the chassis for correct airflow (front to back). Use caution and make sure that

cables are not pinched beneath the heat sink. (See

Figure 21

.)

3. Loosely screw in or finger tighten the captive screws on the heat sink corners in a

diagonal manner. Do no fully tighten one screw before tightening another.

4. Gradually and equally tighten each captive screw until each is firmly tightened.

Installing or Replacing a PCI Add-in Card

The riser card assembly is installed in the super slot located in the middle of the

S5000PHB server board. (See

Figure 7

for this location.) The system is delivered with a

PCI-X* riser card attached to the riser card assembly. To use PCI Express* (PCIe*)

cards, this riser must be replaced with the PCIe riser card, which can be ordered as an

accessory.

Note:

PCI / PCI-X / PCI Express add-in cards are referred to generically as “PCI cards” in the

following procedures.

To add a PCI card, remove the riser card assembly from the system. Ensure that the

appropriate riser card is attached to the assembly (PCI/PCI-X by default) or replace it

with the correct one (e.g, PCIe instead of PCI-X), remove the I/O filler panel, then add

the PCI or PCIe add-in card. This assembly is then plugged back into the super slot

connector on the S5000PHB server board server board. Refer to the Intel® Server

Board S5000PHB Technical Product Specification for the electrical characteristics for the

PCI/PCIe riser card assembly super slot.

Note:

Use a supported PCI/PCIe card. For a list of tested and supported cards,see the Tested

Hardware and Operating System List (THOL) at
