Intel® Server Board SDS2

Errata Listing

Implication:

The SDS2 system BIOS will enter the PXE boot sequence if various numeric

 

keys are pressed during POST.

 

Workaround:

Do not enter numeric keys during the POST process.

 

Status:

Fixed. This issue is fixed in SDS2 BIOS Production Release 2.5 (Build 48) and

 

later versions.

 

19.SDS2 board level operating temperature and power supply voltage tolerance modification

Problem:

In Table 73 of the Intel® Server Board SDS2 Technical Product Specification

 

(TPS) Rev. 1.0, the board level operating temperature is specified as 0°C to

 

55°C. In Table 75 of the SDS2 TPS Rev. 1.0, the power supply tolerance is

 

specified as ±5% for the 3.3V rail. Intel has induced a failure condition during

 

board level temperature and voltage margin testing at 55°C and ±5% voltage on

 

the 3.3V rail in SDS2 Server Boards configured with PCI adapters in the

 

64bit/66MHz PCI slots under extreme workloads during final validation testing.

 

As a result, the SDS2 Server Board board level operating temperature

 

specification has been modified to 0°C to 45°C, and the power supply tolerance

 

specification for the 3.3V rail has been modified to ±3%. The SDS2 Server

 

Board passes board level temperature and voltage margin testing performed

 

according to these modified specifications.

Implication:

The SDS2 Server Board’s operating environment should be maintained within

 

the modified board level operating temperature specification of 0°C to 45°C and

 

the modified power supply tolerance specification of ±3% for the 3.3V rail. The

 

power supply tolerance specification for the 5V, 12V, and 5V standby rails is still

 

±5%. The system level operating temperature specification of the Intel® Server

 

Board SDS2 integrated into the Intel® SC5100 Server Chassis is still 0°C to

 

35°C. The Intel SC5100 Server Chassis’ cooling system is capable of

 

maintaining a SDS2 board level temperature below 45°C at a 35°C system

 

ambient temperature.

Workaround:

None.

Status:

Fix. Intel has identified a fix for this issue, which will be incorporated in the

 

SDS2 FAB 5 server board.

20.Recommendation for SDS2 rubber bumper installation

Problem:

A rubber bumper is included with the Intel® Server Board SDS2. Intel

 

recommends installing this bumper on the chassis before integrating the board

 

into the chassis, in order to improve the board’s tolerance to vibration that may

 

occur during shipment of the integrated system product.
