Installing the Front Bezel

Use the steps below if your system includes either the standard front bezel or the front bezel for the Intel® Local Control Panel. The front bezel is optional.

1.At each end of the bezel, line up the center notch on the bezel with the center guide on the rack handles.

2.Push the bezel onto the front of the server system until it clicks into place.

3.Connect any necessary cables to the front control panel area at the right side of the server system.

Removing and Installing the Chassis Cover

Removing the Chassis Cover

The server system must be operated with the chassis cover in place to ensure proper cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components inside of the server. Before removing the chassis cover, power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.

Note: A nonskid surface or a stop behind the server system may be needed to prevent the server system from sliding on your work surface.

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See "“Safety Information”.

2.Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.

3.Disconnect the AC power cord.

4.Remove the security screw if it is installed. See letter "A" in the figure below.

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.
