Installing and Removing Memory

The silkscreen on the board for the DIMMs displays DIMM A1, DIMM A2, DIMM B1, DIMM B2, DIMM C1, DIMM C2, DIMM D1 and DIMM D2 starting from the center of the board. See "Memory" for a discussion of the memory requirements and options. See “Server System References” for a link to the list of tested DIMMs.

Installing DIMMs

To install DIMMs, follow these steps:

1.Observe the safety and ESD precautions in “Safety Information”.

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

3.Disconnect the AC power cord from the server.

4.Remove the server's cover. For instructions, see “Removing the Chassis Cover”.

5.Locate the DIMM sockets (see Figure 24).

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.
