System Access Warnings

Caution: To avoid personal injury or property damage, the following safety instructions apply whenever accessing the inside of the product:

Turn off all peripheral devices connected to this product.

Turn off the system by pressing the power button to off.

Disconnect the AC power by unplugging all AC power cords from the system or wall outlet.

Disconnect all cables and telecommunication lines that are connected to the system.

Retain all screws or other fasteners when removing access cover(s). Upon completion of accessing inside the product, refasten access cover with original screws or fasteners.

Do not access the inside of the power supply. There are no serviceable parts in the power supply. Return to manufacturer for servicing.

Power down the server and disconnect all power cords before adding or replacing any non hot-plug component.

When replacing a hot-plug power supply, unplug the power cord to the power supply being replaced before removing the power supply from the server.

Caution: If the server has been running, any installed processor(s) and heat sink(s) may be hot. Unless you are adding or removing a hot-plug component, allow the system to cool before opening the covers. To avoid the possibility of coming into contact with hot component(s) during a hot-plug installation, be careful when removing or installing the hot-plug component(s).

Caution: To avoid injury do not contact moving fan blades. If your system is supplied with a guard over the fan, do not operate the system without the fan guard in place.

Rack Mount Warnings

The equipment rack must be anchored to an unmovable support to prevent it from tipping when a server or piece of equipment is extended from it. The equipment rack must be installed according to the rack manufacturer's instructions.

Install equipment in the rack from the bottom up, with the heaviest equipment at the bottom of the rack.

Extend only one piece of equipment from the rack at a time.

You are responsible for installing a main power disconnect for the entire rack unit. This main disconnect must be readily accessible, and it must be labeled as controlling power to the entire unit, not just to the server(s).

To avoid risk of potential electric shock, a proper safety ground must be implemented for the rack and each piece of equipment installed in it.

SR1550AL, SR1550ALSAS specifications

The Intel SR1550ALSAS and SR1550AL servers are designed to provide reliable and high-performing solutions for various enterprise applications. Built on Intel's robust architecture, these server systems cater to businesses seeking efficient data management, scalable infrastructure, and effective virtualization support.

One of the main features of the SR1550 series is its dual-socket capability, accommodating Intel Xeon processors, which deliver exceptional multi-threaded performance. This allows organizations to enhance processing power to handle demanding workloads effectively, such as databases, transactional applications, and virtualization tasks. The server can support a significant amount of RAM, typically up to 512 GB of DDR3 memory, ensuring ample resources for modern applications requiring substantial memory bandwidth.

The SR1550 model comes equipped with various storage options to support large data sets. With support for multiple SATA and SAS drives, users can configure the server to meet their performance needs, whether it is for fast access speeds or high-capacity storage requirements. Hot-swap drive bays improve maintenance efficiency, allowing administrators to replace drives without downtime.

In terms of connectivity, the SR1550 servers feature multiple Ethernet ports and expansion slots, providing flexibility for network configurations and the integration of additional components. The server supports PCIe slots for adding GPUs, RAID controllers, or additional network interfaces, enhancing versatility and performance for various use cases.

The SR1550 series also incorporates advanced management features to simplify administration. The Intel Integrated Lights Out Manager (ILOM) allows remote monitoring and management, which is crucial for maintaining uptime and performing troubleshooting without physical access to the hardware.

Another significant characteristic is the design's attention to energy efficiency. Intel's architecture optimizes power consumption, and advanced cooling techniques ensure that the system operates under thermal thresholds, thus maximizing performance while managing energy usage effectively.

In summary, the Intel SR1550ALSAS and SR1550AL servers combine a powerful processor architecture, scalability, extensive storage options, comprehensive management features, and energy efficiency. These characteristics make them suitable for diverse applications, ensuring that businesses can meet their performance and reliability needs in an ever-evolving IT landscape.
