4.Reinstall and reconnect any parts you removed or disconnected to reach the processor sockets.

5.Replace the server's cover and reconnect the AC power cord. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on installing the server's cover.

Removing a Processor

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.Remove the AC power cord from the server.

4.Remove the server's cover. See the documentation that came with your server chassis for instructions on removing the server's cover.

5.Unplug the processor fan cable from the server board.

6.Loosen the four captive screws on the corners of the heat sink.

7.Twist the heat sink slightly to break the seal between the heat sink and the processor.

8.Lift the heat sink from the processor. If it does not pull up easily, twist the heat sink again. Do not force the heat sink from the processor. Doing so could damage the processor.

9.Lift the processor lever.

10.Raise the CPU load plate.

11.Remove the processor.

12.If installing a replacement processor, see “Installing the Processor”. Otherwise, install the protective socket cover over the empty processor socket and reinstall the chassis cover.

13.Plug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable into the server.

Installing and Removing a Hot-swap Hard Drive

Up to six hot-swap SATA-150 drives or SAS drives can be installed.

Cautions: If you install less than six drives or devices, empty drive bays must be occupied by carriers with baffles to maintain proper system cooling.

To avoid possible damage to your server system, do not use older style drive carriers.

Note: The server system does not support all hard drives. See “Server System References“ for an Internet link to a list of supported hardware.

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.
