Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
This section provides a list of useful information that is unique to the Chenbro RM23712 and should
be kept in mind while configuring your server system.
When adding or removing components or peripherals, power cords must be disconnected
from the server. With power applied to the server, standby voltages are still present even
though the server board is powered off.
This server board supports the Intel®Xeon®Processor E5-2600 v3 product family with a
Thermal Design Power (TDP) of up to and including 145 Watts. Previous generations of
the Intel®Xeon® processors are not supported. Server systems using this server board
may or may not meet the TDP design limits of the server board. Validate the TDP limits of
the server system before selecting a processor.
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 must be populated for the server board
to operate Riser Slots #2 and #3 are only supported in dual processor configurations
The riser card slots are specifically designed to support riser cards only. Attempting to
install a PCIe* add-in card directly into a riser card slot on the server board may damage
the server board, the add- in card, or both.
This server board only supports DDR4 ECC RDIMM – Registered (Buffered) DIMMS and
DDR4 ECC LRDIMM – Load Reduced DIMMs
For the best performance, the number of DDR4 DIMMs installed should be balanced
across both processor sockets and memory channels
On the back edge of the server board are eight diagnostic LEDs that display a sequence of
amber POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST, the
LEDs display the last POST event run before the hang.
The System Status LED will be set to a steady Amber color for all Fatal Errors that are
detected during processor initialization. A steady Amber System Status LED indicates that
an unrecoverable system failure condition has occurred
The FRUSDRutility must be run as part of the initial platform integration process before it is
deployed into a live operating environment. Once the initial FRU and SDRdata is loaded on
to the system, all subsequent system configuration changes will automatically update
SDRdata using the BMC auto configuration feature, without having to run the
FRUSDRutility again. However, to ensure the latest sensor data is installed, the SDRdata
should be updated to the latest available as part of a planned system software update.
Make sure the latest system software is loaded on the server.This includes System BIOS,
BMC Firmware, ME Firmware and FRUSDR. The latest system software can be
downloaded from WWW.Chenbro.com
