Memory mirroring and memory sparing are mutually exclusive. Only one can be active at a time. See the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL/S5000XAL Technical Product Specification for additional information regarding the memory sub-system.

Power Supply

A minimum of 550 Watts is required. Your supply must provide a minimum of 3.5A of 5V standby current or the server board will not boot.

Optional Hardware

Intel® RAID Activation Key

The Intel® RAID Activation Key AXXRAKSW5 can be purchased and installed to enable RAID 5 support on your server board. An Intel® RAID Activation Key can be installed in the SATA RAID 5 Key connector.

Installation instructions for the RAID Activation Key are included with the accessory.

Hard Disk Drives

The server board provides six SATA ports. The six SATA ports are near the rear left side of the server board.

See the documentation included with your server chassis for additional drive information and drive installation instructions.

Intel® Remote Management Module and RMM NIC

The Intel® Remote Management Module and the RMM NIC plug into connectors on the server board and act as components of the server board, not as separate products. These two components must be installed together.

These components provide a way to view and operate the server remotely, in real-time. Keyboard, video, and mouse control (KVM) is redirected to a managing system; this provides remote control of the server. USB media redirection allows you to use a USB device anywhere on the network as if it was installed on the managed server.

For installation instructions on installing the Intel® Remote Management Module, see the instructions provided with the module.
