Functional Architecture  
Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS  
3. Functional Architecture  
The architecture and design of the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL is based on the Intel®  
5000 Chipset Family. The chipset is designed for systems based on the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®  
processor 5000 sequence with system bus speeds of 667 MHz, 1066 MHz, and 1333 MHz. The chipset  
is made up of two main components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH) for the host bridge and the ESB-  
2 I/O controller hub for the I/O subsystem. This chapter provides a high-level description of the  
functionality associated with each chipset component and the architectural blocks that make up this  
server board. For more in depth detail of the functionality for each of the chipset components and each of  
the functional architecture blocks, see the Intel® S5000 Server Board Family Datasheet.

Functional Architecture  
3.1 Intel® 5000P and 5000X Memory Controller Hubs (MCH)  
This section will describe the general functionality of the memory controller hub as it is implemented on  
this server board. Depending on the version of the server board in use, it may support either the Intel®  
5000P MCH or the Intel® 5000X MCH. Features that are unique to a particular MCH will be so referenced.  
The Memory Controller Hub (MCH) is a single 1432 pin FCBGA package which includes the following  
core platform functions:  
System Bus Interface for the processor sub-system  
Memory Controller  
PCI Express* Ports including the Enterprise South Bridge Interface (ESI)  
FBD Thermal Management  
SMBUS Interface  
Additional information about MCH functionality can be obtained from the Intel® S5000 Series Chipsets  
Server Board Family Datasheet, the Intel® 5000P Memory Controller Hub External Design Specification  
(Yellow Cover), or the Intel® 5000X Memory Controller Hub External Design Specification (Yellow Cover).  
Note: Yellow Cover documents can only be obtained under NDA with Intel and ordered through an Intel  
representative.  
3.1.1  
System Bus Interface  
The MCH is configured for symmetric multi-processing across two independent front side bus interfaces  
that connect to the Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000 sequence. Each front side bus on the MCH  
uses a 64-bit wide 1066 or 1333 MHz data bus. The 1333 MHz data bus is capable of transferring data at  
up to 10.66 GB/s. The MCH supports a 36-bit wide address bus, capable of addressing up to 64 GB of  
memory. The MCH is the priority agent for both front side bus interfaces, and is optimized for one  
processor on each bus.  
3.1.2  
Processor Support  
The server board supports the following processors:  
One or two Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000 or 5100 sequence with a 677-, 1066-, or  
1333-MHz front side bus.  
Up to two Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5300 sequence with a 1066- or 1333-MHz front  
side bus.  
Up to two 45nm 2P Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. Systems based on S5000PALR or  
S5000XALR only.  
Up to two 45nm next generation Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processors. Systems based on  
S5000PALR or S5000XALR only.  
Previous generations of the Intel® Xeon® processor are not supported on the server board. See  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5000pal/ for a complete updated list of supported  
processors. ( http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/CS-022346.htm/ is sub-directory of  
above S5000PAL URL that reflects supported processor list)  
Note: Only Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000 sequence, that support system bus speeds of 667  
MHz, 1066 MHz, and1333 MHz are supported on this server board.

3.1.2.1  
Processor Population Rules  
When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core speed.  
Mixed processor steppings is supported. However, the stepping of one processor cannot be greater than  
one stepping back of the other. When only one processor is installed, it must be in the socket labeled  
CPU1. The other socket must be empty.  
The board is designed to provide up to 130A of current per processor. Processors with higher current  
requirements are not supported.  
No terminator is required in the second processor socket when using a single processor configuration.  
3.1.2.2  
Common Enabling Kit (CEK) Design Support  
The server board complies with Intel’s Common Enabling Kit (CEK) processor mounting and heat sink  
retention solution. The server board ships with a CEK spring snapped onto the underside of the server  
board, beneath each processor socket. The heat sink attaches to the CEK, over the top of the processor  
and the thermal interface material (TIM). See the figure below for the stacking order of the chassis, CEK  
spring, server board, TIM, and heat sink.  
The CEK spring is removable, allowing for the use of non-Intel heat sink retention solutions.  
Note: The processor heat sink and CEK spring shown in the following diagram are for reference  
purposes only. The actual processor heat sink and CEK solutions compatible with this generation server  
board may be of a different design.

3.1.3  
Memory Sub-system  
On the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL, the MCH provides four channels of Fully Buffered  
DIMM (FB-DIMM) memory. Each channel can support up to 2 Dual Ranked FB-DIMM DDR2 DIMMs. FB-  
DIMM memory channels are organized in to two branches for support of RAID 1 (mirroring). The MCH  
can support up to 8 DIMMs or a maximum memory size of 32 GB physical memory in non-mirrored mode  
and 16 GB physical memory in a mirrored configuration. The read bandwidth for each FB-DIMM channel  
is 4.25 GB/s for DDR2 533 FB-DIMM memory which gives a total read bandwidth of 17 GB/s for four FB-  
DIMM channels. Thus, this provides 8.5 GB/s of write memory bandwidth for four FB-DIMM channels.  
The read bandwidth for each FB-DIMM channel is 5.3GB/s for DDR2 667 FB-DIMM memory which gives  
26  
Revision 1.7  
Intel order number: D31979-010  
Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS  
Functional Architecture  
a total read bandwidth of 21GB/s for four FB-DIMM channels. Thus, this provides 10.7 GB/s of write  
memory bandwidth for four FB-DIMM channels. The total bandwidth is based on read bandwidth thus the  
total bandwidth is 17 GB/s for 533 and 21.0 GB/s for 667.  
On the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL, a pair of channels becomes a branch where Branch  
0 consists of channels A and B, and Branch 1 consists of channels C and D. FBD memory channels are  
organized into two branches for support of RAID 1(mirroring).

this server board.  
3.1.3.3  
DIMM Population Rules and Supported DIMM Configurations  
DIMM population rules depend on the operating mode of the memory controller, which is determined by  
the number of DIMMs installed. DIMMs must be populated in pairs. DIMM pairs are populated in the  
following DIMM slot order: A1 & B1, C1 & D1, A2 & B2, C2 & D2. DIMMs within a given pair must be  
identical with respect to size, speed, and organization. However, DIMM capacities can be different  
between different DIMM pairs.  
For example, a valid mixed DIMM configuration may have 512MB DIMMs installed in DIMM Slots A1 &  
B1, and 1GB DIMMs installed in DIMM slots C1 & D1.  
Intel supported DIMM configurations for this server board are shown in the following table.  
Supported and Validated configuration : Slot is populated  
Supported but not validated configuration : Slot is  
populated  
Slot is not populated  
Mirroring: Y = Yes. Indicates that configuration supports Memory Mirroring.  
Sparing:  
Y(x) = Yes. Indicates that configuration supports Memory Sparing.  
Where x = 0 : Sparing supported on Branch0 only

-
The supported memory configurations must meet population rules defined above.  
For best performance, the number of DIMMs installed should be balanced across both  
memory branches. For Example: a four DIMM configuration will perform better than a two  
DIMM configuration and should be installed in DIMM Slots A1, B1, C1, and D1. An eight  
DIMM configuration will perform better then a six DIMM configuration.  
Although mixed DIMM capacities between channels is supported, Intel does not validate DIMMs  
in mixed DIMM configurations.

3.1.3.3.1  
Minimum Non-Mirrored Mode Configuration  
The server board is capable of supporting a minimum of one DIMM installed. However, for system  
performance reasons, Intel’s recommendation is that at least 2 DIMMs be installed.  
The following diagram shows the recommended minimum DIMM memory configuration. Populated DIMM  
slots are shown in Grey.

Non-mirrored mode memory upgrades  
The minimum memory upgrade increment is two DIMMs per branch. The DIMMs must cover the same  
slot position on both channels. DIMMs pairs must be identical with respect to size, speed, and  
organization. DIMMs that cover adjacent slot positions do not need to be identical.  
When adding two DIMMs to the configuration shown in Figure 12, the DIMMs should be populated in  
DIMM slots C1 and D1 as shown in the following diagram. Populated DIMM slots are shown in Grey.

Figure 13. Recommended Four DIMM Configuration  
Functionally, DIMM slots A2 and B2 could also have been populated instead of DIMM slots C1 and D1.  
However, your system will not achieve equivalent performance. Figure 13 shows the supported DIMM  
configuration that is recommended because it allows both memory branches from the MCH to operate  
independently and simultaneously. FBD bandwidth is doubled when both branches operate in parallel.  
3.1.3.4.1  
Mirrored Mode Memory Configuration  
When operating in mirrored mode, both branches operate in lock step. In mirrored mode, branch 1  
contains a replicate copy of the data in branch 0. The minimum DIMM configuration to support memory  
mirroring is four DIMMs, populated as shown in Figure 13 above. All four DIMMs must be identical with  
respect to size, speed, and organization.  
To upgrade a four DIMM mirrored memory configuration, four additional DIMMs must be added to the  
system. All four DIMMs in the second set must be identical to the first with the exception of speed. The  
MCH will adjust to the lowest speed DIMM.

Snoop Filter (5000X MCH only)  
The 5000X version of the MCH includes a snoop filter. Depending on the application of the server, this  
feature can be used to enhance the performance of the server by eliminating unnecessary traffic on the  
system bus. By removing the excess traffic from the snooped bus, the full bandwidth is available for  
other operations.  
3.2 ESB-2 IO Controller  
The ESB-2 is a multi-function device that provides four distinct functions: an IO Controller, a PCI-X*  
Bridge, a Gigabit Ethernet Controller, and a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC). Each function  
within the ESB-2 has its own set of configuration registers. Once configured, each appears to the system  
as a distinct hardware controller.  
A primary role of the ESB-2 is to provide the gateway to all PC-compatible I/O devices and features. The  
server board uses the following ESB-2 features:  
PCI-X* bus interface  
Six Channel SATA interface w/SATA Busy LED Control  
Dual GbE MAC  
Baseboard Management Controller (BMC)  
Single ATA interface, with Ultra DMA 100 capability

3.2.1.6  
PE6, PE7: Two x4 PCI Express* Bus Segments  
Two x4 PCI Express* bus segments are directed through the MCH. These PCI Express segments, PE6  
and PE7, support one x8 or two x4 PCI Express segments to the full height riser slot (J4F1).  
3.2.1.7  
PCI Riser Slots  
The server board has two riser slots capable of supporting riser cards for both 1U and 2U system  
configurations. Because of board placement resulting in different pin orientations, and expanded  
technology support associated with the full-height riser, the riser slots are not the same and require  
different riser cards.  
The low profile riser slot (J5B1) utilizes a 98-pin connector. It is capable of supporting one x8 (1U) or two  
x4 (2U) low profile PCI Express* add-in cards. The x8 PCI Express* bus can support bus speeds of up to  
20 Gb/S. The following table provides the supported bus throughput for the given riser card used and the  
number of add-in cards installed.

Note: There are no population rules for installing a single low profile add-in card in the 2U LP riser card; a  
single add in card can be installed in either PCI Express* slot. While each slot can accommodate a x8  
card, each slot will only support x4 bus speeds.  
The full height riser slot (J4F1) implements Intel® Adaptive Slot Technology. This 280-pin connector is  
capable of supporting riser cards that meet either the PCI-X* or PCI Express* technology specifications.  
The following tables show the maximum bus speed supported with different add-in card populations for  
each supported riser card.

Note: For the 2U PCI-X* (passive) riser card, add-in cards should be installed starting with the top slot  
first, followed by the middle, and then the bottom. Any add-in card populated in the bottom PCI slot will  
cause the bus to operate at 66MHz.

Serial ATA Support  
The ESB-2 has an integrated Serial ATA (SATA) controller that supports independent DMA operation on  
six ports and supports data transfer rates of up to 3.0 Gb/s. The six SATA ports on the server board are  
numbered SATA-0 thru SATA-5. The SATA ports can be enabled/disabled and/or configured by  
accessing the BIOS Setup Utility during POST.  
3.2.2.1  
Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology II Support  
The onboard storage capability of this server board includes support for Intel® Embedded Server RAID  
Technology which provides three standard software RAID levels: data stripping (RAID Level 0), data  
mirroring (RAID Level 1), and data stripping with mirroring (RAID Level 10). For higher performance,  
data stripping can be used to alleviate disk bottlenecks by taking advantage of the dual independent DMA  
engines that each SATA port offers. Data mirroring is used for data security. Should a disk fail, a mirrored  
copy of the failed disk is brought on-line. There is no loss of either PCI resources (request/grant pair) or  
add-in card slots.  
With the addition of an optional Intel RAID Activation Key, Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology is  
also capable of providing fault tolerant data stripping (software RAID Level 5), such that if a SATA hard  
drive should fail, the lost data can be restored on a replacement drive from the other drives that make up  
the RAID 5 pack.  
See Figure 1. Components & Connector Location Diagram for the location of Intel RAID Activation Key  
connector location.  
Note: Availability of the Intel RAID Activation Key to support software RAID 5 will be deferred until after  
product launch of this server board.  
Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology functionality requires the following items:  
Intel® ESB-2 IO Controller Hub  
Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology Option ROM  
Intel® Application Accelerator RAID Edition drivers, most recent revision

Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology Option ROM  
The Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology for SATA Option ROM provides a pre-OS user interface  
for the Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology implementation and provides the ability for an Intel®  
Embedded Server RAID Technology volume to be used as a boot disk as well as to detect any faults in  
the Intel® Embedded Server RAID Technology volume(s) attached to the Intel® RAID controller.  
3.2.3  
Parallel ATA (PATA) Support  
The integrated IDE controller of the ESB-2 ICH6 provides one IDE channel. It redefines signals on the  
IDE cable to allow both host and target throttling of data and transfer rates of up to 100MB/s. For this  
server board, the IDE channel was designed to provide Slim-line Optical Drive support to the platform.  
The BIOS initializes and supports ATAPI devices such as CDROM, CD-RW and DVD. The IDE channel  
is accessed through a single high density 44-pin connector ((J3G1) which provides both power and IO  
signals. The ATA channel can be configured and enabled or disabled by accessing the BIOS Setup Utility  
during POST.  
Note: The IDE connector on this server board is NOT a standard 40 IDE connector. Instead, this  
connector has an additional 4 power pins over and above the standard 40 I/O pins. The design intent of  
this connector is to provide support for a slim-line optical drive only.  
3.2.4  
USB 2.0 Support  
The USB controller functionality integrated into ESB-2 provides the server board with the interface for up  
to eight USB 2.0 ports. Two external connectors are located on the back edge of the server board. One  
internal 2x5 header is provided, capable of supporting two optional USB 2.0 ports. Three USB ports are  
routed through the bridge board connector providing optional USB support for a system Control Panel or  
other USB requirements. An additional USB port is dedicated to the Intel® Remote Management Module  
(Intel® RMM) connector.  
3.3 Video Support  
The server board provides an ATI* ES1000 PCI graphics accelerator, along with 16MB of video DDR  
SDRAM and support circuitry for an embedded SVGA video sub-system. The ATI ES1000 chip contains  
an SVGA video controller, clock generator, 2D engine, and RAMDAC in a 359-pin BGA. One 4Mx16x4  
bank DDR SDRAM chip provides 16MB of video memory.  
The SVGA sub-system supports a variety of modes, up to 1024 x 768 resolution in 8 / 16 / 32bpp modes  
under 2D. It also supports both CRT and LCD monitors up to a 100 Hz vertical refresh rate.  
Video is accessed using a standard 15-pin VGA connector found on the back edge of the server board.  
Video signals are also made available through the 120-pin bridgeboard connector which provides signals  
for an optional video connector to be present on the platform’s control panel. Video is routed to both the  
rear video connector and a control panel video connector. Video is present at both connectors  
simultaneously and cannot be disabled at either connector individually. Hot plugging the video while the  
system is still running is supported.  
On-board video can be disabled using the BIOS Setup Utility or when an add-in video card is installed.  
System BIOS also provides the option for dual video operation when an add-in video card is configured in  
the system.

Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology  
Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology moves network data more efficiently through Dual-Core Intel® Xeon®  
processor 5000 sequence-based servers for improved application responsiveness across diverse  
operating systems and virtualized environments. Intel® I/OAT improves network application  
responsiveness by unleashing the power of Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000 sequence through  
more efficient network data movement and reduced system overhead. Intel multi-port network adapters  
with Intel® I/OAT provide high-performance I/O for server consolidation and virtualization via stateless  
network acceleration that seamlessly scales across multiple ports and virtual machines. Intel® I/OAT  
provides safe and flexible network acceleration through tight integration into popular operating systems &  
virtual machine monitors, avoiding the support risks of 3rd-party network stacks and preserving existing  
network requirements such as teaming and failover.  
3.4.2  
MAC Address Definition  
Each Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL has four MAC addresses assigned to it at the Intel  
factory. During the manufacturing process, each server board will have a white MAC address sticker  
placed on the board. The sticker will display the MAC address in both bar code and alpha numeric  
formats. The printed MAC address is assigned to NIC 1 on the server board. NIC 2 is assigned the NIC 1  
MAC address + 1.  
Two additional MAC addresses are assigned to the Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) embedded  
in the ESB-2. These MAC addresses are used by the BMC’s embedded network stack to enable IPMI  
remote management over LAN. BMC LAN Channel 1 is assigned the NIC1 MAC address + 2, and BMC  
LAN Channel 2 is assigned the NIC1 MAC address + 3.

3.5.1.1  
Serial Ports  
The server board provides two serial ports: an external RJ45 serial port, and an internal DH10 serial  
header.  
Serial A is an optional port accessed through a 9-pin internal DH-10 header. A standard DH10 to DB9  
cable can be used to direct the Serial A port to the rear of a chassis. The Serial A interface follows the  
standard RS232 pin-out as defined in the following table.

The rear RJ45 Serial B port is a fully functional serial port that can support any standard serial device.  
Using an RJ45 connector for a serial port allows direct support for serial port concentrators, which  
typically use RJ45 connectors and are widely used in the high-density server market. For server  
applications that use a serial concentrator to access the system management features of the server  
board, a standard 8-pin CAT-5 cable from the serial concentrator is plugged directly into the rear RJ45  
serial port.  
To allow support for either of two serial port configuration standards, a jumper block located directly  
behind the rear RJ45 serial port must be configured appropriately according to the desired standard. For  
serial concentrators that require a DCD signal, the jumper block must be configured with the serial port  
jumper over pins 1 and 2. For serial concentrators that require a DSR signal (Default), the jumper block  
must be configured with the serial port jumper over pins 3 and 4. Pin 1 on the jumper is identified by “*”.  
Note: By default, the rear RJ45 serial port is configured to support a DSR signal. This configuration is  
compatible with the Cisco* standard.

For server applications that require a DB9 serial connector, an 8-pin RJ45-to-DB9 adapter must be used.  
The following table provides the pin-out required for the adapter to provide RS232 support. A standard  
DH10-to-DB9 cable and 8-pin RJ45 to DB9 DCD and DSR adapters are available from Intel in the Serial  
Port Accessory Kit, product code: AXXRJ45DB92.

Note: The RJ45-to-DB9 adapter should match the configuration of the serial device used. One of two pin-  
out configurations is used, depending on whether the serial device requires a DSR or DCD signal. The  
final adapter configuration should also match the desired pin-out of the RJ45 connector, as it can also be  
configured to support either DSR or DCD.

IDE Connector  
The server board includes an IDE connector to access the single IDE channel from the ESB-2 IO  
controller hub. The design intent for this connector is to provide IDE support for a single slim-line optical  
drive, such as CDROM or DVD. The connector is not a standard 40-pin IDE connector, instead it has 44  
pins providing support for both power and IO signals. The pin-out for this connector is defined in the  
following table.

CMOS Clear and Password Reset Usage Procedure  
The CMOS Clear (J1D3) and Password Reset (J1D2) recovery features are designed so that the desired  
operation can be achieved with minimal system down time. The usage procedure for these two features  
has changed from previous generation Intel® Server Boards. The following procedure outlines the new  
usage model.  
CMOS Clear Procedure:  
1. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.  
2. Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins1-2) to the “clear”  
position (pins 2-3).  
3. Wait 5 seconds.  
4. Move the jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2).  
5. Close the server system and power up the server.  
6. CMOS is now cleared and can be reset by going into the BIOS setup.  
Password Reset Procedure:  
1. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.  
2. Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins1-2) to the “reset”  
position (pins 2-3).  
3. Power up the server.  
4. The password is now cleared.  
5. Power down the server; do not remove AC power.  
6. Move the jumper back to the default position (pins 1-2) and close the server system.  
7. The password can be reset by going into the BIOS setup.  
Note: Removing AC power before performing the CMOS clear operation will cause the system to  
automatically power up and immediately power down, after the procedure is followed and AC power is re-  
applied. Should this occur, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and re-install the AC  
power cord. Power up system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS Setup Utility to reset desired settings.  
6.1.2  
BMC Force Update Procedure  
When performing a standard BMC firmware update procedure, the update utility places the BMC into an  
update mode, allowing the firmware to load safely onto the flash device. In the unlikely event that the  
BMC firmware update process fails due to the BMC not being in the proper update state, the server board  
provides a BMC Force Update jumper (J1D1) which will force the BMC into the proper update state. The  
following procedure should be following in the event the standard BMC firmware update process fails.  
Power down the server and remove AC power.  
Open the server and move the jumper from the default operating position (pins1-2) to the  
“enabled” position (pins 2-3).  
Close the server system and reconnect AC power and power up the server.  
Perform the standard BMC firmware update procedure as documented in README.TXT file that  
is included in the given BMC Firmware Update package.  
After successful completion of the firmware update process, the firmware update utility may  
generate an error stating that the BMC is still in update mode.  
Power down and remove AC power.  
Open the server and move the jumper from the “enabled” position (pins 2-3) to the “disabled”  
position (pins 1-2).  
Close the server system and reconnect AC power and power up the server.

Jumper Block Settings  
Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS  
Note: Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the force BMC update jumper set to the “enabled”  
position. The server should never be run with the BMC force update jumper set in this position and should  
only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This jumper should remain in the default –  
disabled position when the server is running normally.  
6.2 BIOS Select Jumper  
The jumper block at J3H1, located just to the left of the SSI control panel header, is used to select which  
BIOS image the system will boot to. Pin 1 on the jumper is identified with a ‘’. This jumper should only  
be moved if you wish to force the BIOS to boot to the secondary bank which may hold a different version  
of BIOS.  
The rolling BIOS feature of the baseboard will automatically alternate the Boot BIOS to the secondary  
bank in the event the BIOS image in the primary bank is corrupted and cannot boot for any reason.

The server board has several on-board diagnostic LEDs to assist in troubleshooting board level issues.  
This section shows where each LED is located and provides a high level usage description. For a more  
detailed description of what drives the diagnostic LED operation, refer to the Intel® S5000 Series Chipsets  
Server Board Family Datasheet.  
7.1 5-Volt Standby LED  
Several server management features of this server board require that a 5 volt stand-by voltage be  
supplied from the power supply. Some of the features and components that require this voltage be  
present when the system is “Off” include the BMC within the ESB-2, onboard NICs, and optional Intel®  
RMM.  
The LED located just below the system recovery jumper block labeled “5V STBY” is illuminated when AC  
power is applied to the platform and 5 Volt standby voltage is supplied to the server board by the power  
supply.

System Status LED – BMC Initialization  
When the AC power is first applied to the system and 5V-STBY is present, the BMC controller on the  
server board requires 15-20 seconds to initialize. During this time, the system status LED will blink,  
alternating between amber and green, and the power button functionality of the control panel is disabled  
preventing the server from powering up. Once BMC initialization has completed, the status LED will stop  
blinking and the power button functionality is restored and can be used to turn on the server.

Power Supply Output Requirements  
This section is for reference purposes only. Its intent is to provide guidance to system designers for  
determining a proper power supply for use with this server board. The contents of this section specify the  
power supply requirements Intel used to develop a power supply for its 1U server platform.  
The combined power of all outputs shall not exceed the rated output power of the power supply. The  
power supply must meet both static and dynamic voltage regulation requirements for the minimum  
loading conditions.

8.2.4  
Grounding  
The grounds of the pins of the power supply output connector provide the power return path. The output  
connector ground pins shall be connected to safety ground (power supply enclosure). This grounding  
should be well designed to ensure passing the maximum allowed Common Mode Noise levels.  
The power supply shall be provided with a reliable protective earth ground. All secondary circuits shall be  
connected to protective earth ground. Resistance of the ground returns to chassis shall not exceed 1.0  
mΩ. This path may be used to carry DC current.  
8.2.5  
Standby Outputs  
The 5VSB output shall be present when an AC input greater than the power supply turn on voltage is  
applied.  
8.2.6  
Remote Sense  
The power supply has remote sense return (ReturnS) to regulate out ground drops for all output voltages:  
+3.3V, +5V, +12V1, +12V2, +12V3, -12V, and 5VSB. The power supply uses remote sense (3.3VS) to  
regulate out drops in the system for the +3.3V output. The +5V, +12V1, +12V2, +12V3, –12V and 5VSB  
outputs only use remote sense referenced to the ReturnS signal. The remote sense input impedance to  
the power supply must be greater than 200 Ω on 3.3VS and 5VS; this is the value of the resistor  
connecting the remote sense to the output voltage internal to the power supply. Remote sense must be  
able to regulate out a minimum of a 200 mV drop on the +3.3V output. The remote sense return  
(ReturnS) must be able to regulate out a minimum of a 200 mV drop in the power ground return. The  
current in any remote sense line shall be less than 5 mA to prevent voltage sensing errors. The power  
supply must operate within specification over the full range of voltage drops from the power supply’s  
output connector to the remote sense points.  
8.2.7  
Voltage Regulation  
The power supply output voltages must stay within the following voltage limits when operating at steady  
state and dynamic loading conditions. These limits include the peak-peak ripple/noise.

Soft Starting  
The power supply shall contain a control circuit which provides a monotonic soft start for its outputs  
without overstress of the AC line or any power supply components at any specified AC line or load  
conditions. There is no requirement for rise time on the 5 V standby, but the turn on/off shall be  
monotonic.  
8.2.14  
Timing Requirements  
These are the timing requirements for the power supply operation. The output voltages must rise from  
10% to within regulation limits (Tvout_rise) within 5 to 70 ms, except for 5VSB; it is allowed to rise from 1.0 to  
25 ms. All outputs must rise monotonically. Each output voltage shall reach regulation within 50 ms  
(Tvout_on) of each other during turn on of the power supply. Each output voltage shall fall out of regulation  
within 400 msec (Tvout_off) of each other during turn off. The following diagrams show the timing  
requirements for the power supply being turned on and off via the AC input with PSON held low, and the  
PSON signal with the AC input applied.

When adding or removing components or peripherals from the server board, AC power must be  
removed. With AC power plugged into the server board, 5-volt standby is still present even  
though the server board is powered off.  
When two processors are installed, both must be of identical revision, core voltage, and bus/core  
speed. Mixed processor steppings is supported. However, the stepping of one processor can not  
greater then one stepping back of the other.  
ƒ
ƒ
Processors must be installed in order. CPU 1 is located near the edge of the server board and  
must be populated to operate the board.  
On the back edge of the server board are four diagnostic LEDs which display a sequence of red,  
green, or amber POST codes during the boot process. If the server board hangs during POST,  
the LEDs will display the last POST event run before the hang.  
ƒ
Only Fully Buffered DIMMs (FBD) are supported on this server board. For a list of supported  
memory for this server board, see the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL Tested  
Memory List.  
ƒ
ƒ
For a list of Intel supported operating systems, add-in cards, and peripherals for this server board,  
see the Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL Tested Hardware and OS List.  
Only Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® processors 5000 sequence, with system bus speeds of  
667/1066/1333 MHz are supported on this server board. Previous generation Intel® Xeon®  
processors are not supported.  
ƒ
For best performance, the number of DIMMs installed should be balanced across both memory  
branches. For example: a four DIMM configuration will perform better than a two DIMM  
configuration and should be installed in DIMM Slots A1, B1, C1, and D1. An eight DIMM  
configuration will perform better then a six DIMM configuration.

There are no population rules for installing a single low profile add-in card in the 2U LP riser card;  
a single add in card can be installed in either PCI Express* slot. While each slot can  
accommodate a x8 card, each slot will only support x4 bus speeds.  
For the 2U PCI-X* (passive) riser card, add-in cards should be installed starting with the top slot  
first, followed by the middle, and then the bottom. Any add-in card populated in the bottom PCI  
slot will cause the bus to operate at 66MHz.  
Each PCI slot on the 2U PCI-X* (active) riser card operates on an independent PCI bus.  
Therefore, using an add-in card that operates below 133MHz will not affect the bus speed of the  
other PCI slots.  
The IDE connector on this server board is NOT a standard 40-pin IDE connector. Instead, this  
connector has an additional 4 power pins over and above the standard 40 I/O pins. The design  
intent of this connector is to provide support for a slim-line optical drive only.  
Removing AC Power before performing the CMOS clear operation will cause the system to  
automatically power up and immediately power down after the procedure is followed and AC  
power is re-applied. Should this occur, remove the AC power cord again, wait 30 seconds, and  
re-install the AC power cord. Power up system and proceed to the <F2> BIOS setup utility to  
reset desired settings.  
ƒ
Normal BMC functionality is disabled with the force BMC update jumper set to the “enabled”  
position (pins 2-3). The server should never be run with the BMC force update jumper set in this  
position and should only be used when the standard firmware update process fails. This jumper  
should remain in the default (disabled) position (pins 1-2) when the server is running normally.  
ƒ
ƒ
When performing a BIOS update procedure, the BIOS select jumper must be set to its default  
position (pins 2-3).  
When AC power is applied to the server, a 25-30 second delay is necessary to initialize the BMC.  
During this initialization period, the Power Button functionality is disabled.

Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS  
Appendix B: BMC Sensor Tables  
This appendix lists the sensor identification numbers and information regarding the sensor type, name,  
supported thresholds, assertion and de-assertion information, and a brief description of the sensor  
purpose. See the Intelligent Platform Management Interface Specification, Version 1.5, for sensor and  
event/reading-type table information.  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Sensor Type  
The Sensor Type references the values enumerated in the Sensor Type Codes table in the IPMI  
specification. It provides the context in which to interpret the sensor, e.g., the physical entity or  
characteristic that is represented by this sensor.  
Event / Reading Type  
The Event/Reading Type references values from the Event/Reading Type Code Ranges and  
Generic Event/Reading Type Codes tables in the IPMI specification. Note that digital sensors are  
a specific type of discrete sensors, which have only two states.  
Event Offset/Triggers  
Event Thresholds are ‘supported event generating thresholds’ for threshold types of sensors.  
o
o
[u,l][nr,c,nc]: upper non-recoverable, upper critical, upper non-critical, lower non-recoverable,  
lower critical, lower non-critical  
uc, lc: upper critical, lower critical  
Event Triggers are ‘supported event generating offsets’ for discrete type sensors. The offsets can  
be found in the Generic Event/Reading Type Codes or Sensor Type Codes tables in the IPMI  
specification, depending on whether the sensor event/reading type is generic or a sensor specific  
response.  
ƒ
ƒ
Assertion / De-assertion Enables  
Assertion and de-assertion indicators reveal the type of events the sensor can generate:  
o
o
As: Assertions  
De: De-assertion  
Readable Value / Offsets  
o
Readable Value indicates the type of value returned for threshold and other non-discrete type  
sensors.  
o
Readable Offsets indicate the offsets for discrete sensors that are readable via the Get  
Sensor Reading command. Unless otherwise indicated, all event triggers are readable, i.e.,  
Readable Offsets consists of the reading type offsets that do not generate events.  
ƒ
Event Data  
This is the data that is included in an event message generated by the associated sensor. For  
threshold-based sensors, the following abbreviations are used:  
o
o
R: Reading value  
T: Threshold value

Rearm Sensors  
-
The rearm is a request for the event status for a sensor to be rechecked and updated upon a  
transition between good and bad states. Rearming the sensors can be done manually or  
automatically. This column indicates the type supported by the sensor. The following  
abbreviations are used in the comment column to describe a sensor:  
A: Auto-rearm  
M: Manual rearm  
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Default Hysteresis  
-
Hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor. This column provides the count of  
hysteresis for the sensor, which can be 1 or 2 (positive or negative Hysteresis).  
Criticality  
Criticality is a classification of the severity and nature of the condition. It also controls the  
behavior of the Control Panel Status LED.  
Standby  
Some sensors operate on standby power. These sensors may be accessed and / or  
generate events when the main (system) power is off, but AC power is present.

Appendix C: POST Code Diagnostic LEDs  
Intel® Server Board S5000PAL / S5000XAL TPS  
Appendix C: POST Code Diagnostic LED Decoder  
During the system boot process, BIOS executes a number of platform configuration processes, each of  
which is assigned a specific hex POST code number. As each configuration routine is started, BIOS will  
display the given POST code to the POST Code Diagnostic LEDs found on the back edge of the server  
board. To assist in troubleshooting a system hang during the POST process, the Diagnostic LEDs can  
be used to identify the last POST process to be executed.  
Each POST code will be represented by a combination of colors from the four LEDs. The LEDs are  
capable of displaying three colors: green, red, and amber. The POST codes are divided into two nibbles,  
an upper nibble and a lower nibble. Each bit in the upper nibble is represented by a red LED and each bit  
in the lower nibble is represented by a green LED. If both bits are set in the upper and lower nibbles then  
both red and green LEDs are lit, resulting in an amber color. If both bits are clear, then the LED is off.  
In the below example, BIOS sends a value of ACh to the diagnostic LED decoder. The LEDs are decoded  
as follows:  
red bits = 1010b = Ah  
ƒ
green bits = 1100b = Ch  
Since the red bits correspond to the upper nibble and the green bits correspond to the lower nibble, the  
two are concatenated to be ACh.

Appendix D: POST Error Messages and Handling  
Whenever possible, the BIOS will output the current boot progress codes on the video screen. Progress  
codes are 32-bit quantities plus optional data. The 32-bit numbers include class, subclass, and operation  
information. The class and subclass fields point to the type of hardware that is being initialized. The  
operation field represents the specific initialization activity. Based on the data bit availability to display  
progress codes, a progress code can be customized to fit the data width. The higher the data bit, the  
higher the granularity of information that can be sent on the progress port. The progress codes may be  
reported by the system BIOS or option ROMs.  
The Response section in the following table is divided into two types:  
Pause: The message is displayed in the Error Manager screen, an error is logged to the  
SEL, and user input is required to continue. The user can take immediate corrective  
action or choose to continue booting.  
Halt: The message is displayed in the Error Manager screen, an error is logged to the SEL,  
and the system cannot boot unless the error is resolved. The user needs to replace the  
faulty part and restart the system.

BIOS rolling back  
error  
The system has detected a corrupted BIOS in the flash  
part, and is rolling back to the last good BIOS.  
The BMC may generate beep codes upon detection of failure conditions. Beep codes are sounded each  
time the problem is discovered, such as on each power-up attempt, but are not sounded continuously.  
Codes that are common across all Intel® Server Boards and systems that use the Intel® S5000 chipset  
are listed in Table 48. Each digit in the code is represented by a sequence of beeps whose count is equal  
to the digit.
