1.2 Server Board Use Disclaimer
Intel Corporation server boards support add-in peripherals and contain a number of high-density VLSI and power delivery components that need adequate airflow to cool. Intel ^® ensures through its own chassis development and testing that when Intel ^® server building blocks are used together, the fully integrated system will meet the intended thermal requirements of these components. It is the responsibility of the system integrator who chooses not to use Intel ^® developed server building blocks to consult vendor datasheets and operating parameters to determine the amount of air flow required for their specific application and environmental conditions. Intel Corporation cannot be held responsible if components fail or the server board does not operate correctly when used outside any of their published operating or non-operating limits.
2. Product Overview
The Intel ^® Server Chassis H2000 family includes two major SKUs: H2312xxJR/KR and H2216xxJR/KR, which are supporting rack mount 2U 4-node server systems, purpose-built for high-density and lowest total cost of ownership in dense computing applications, such as HPC and IPDC. The chassis can be used to integrate with four units of node trays which are built with Intel ^® Server Board S2600JF, S2600WP or S2400LP, supports up to twelve 3.5" or sixteen 2.5" hot-swap SAS or SATA hard drives, with 1200 Watts or 1600 Watts Common Redundant Power Supply(CRPS) capability.
This chapter provides a high-level overview of the chassis features. The following chapters provide greater detail for each major chassis component or feature.

| +12V | +12VSTB |
| 120mVp-p | 120mVp-p |
3.3.7 Grounding

There shall be no additional heat generated, nor stressing of any internal components with this voltage applied to any individual or all outputs simultaneously. It also should not trip the protection circuits during turn on.
The residual voltage at the power supply outputs for no load condition shall not exceed 100mV when AC voltage is applied and the PSON# signal is de-asserted.
3.3.10 Common Mode Noise
The Common Mode noise on any output shall not exceed 350mVp-p over the frequency band of 10Hz to 20MHz.

3.3.15 Timing Requirement
These are the timing requirements for the power supply operation. The output voltages must rise from 10% to within regulation limits ( T_vout_rise ) within 5 to 70ms. For 12VSB, it is allowed to rise from 1.0 to 25ms. All outputs must rise monotonically.

3.4 Power Supply Cold Redundancy Support
Power supplies that support cold redundancy can be enabled to go into a low-power state (that is, cold redundant state) in order to provide increased power usage efficiency when system loads are such that both power supplies are not needed. When the power subsystem is in Cold Redundant mode, only the needed power supply to support the best power delivery efficiency is ON. Any additional power supplies; including the redundant power supply, is in Cold Standby state.
Each power supply has an additional signal that is dedicated to supporting Cold Redundancy; CR_BUS. This signal is a common bus between all power supplies in the system. CR_BUS is asserted when there is a fault in any power supply OR the power supplies output voltage falls below the Vfault threshold. Asserting the CR_BUS signal causes all power supplies in Cold Standby state to power ON.
Enabling power supplies to maintain best efficiency is achieved by looking at the Load Share bus voltage and comparing it to a programmed voltage level through a PMBus command.
Whenever there is no active power supply on the Cold Redundancy bus driving a HIGH level on the bus all power supplies are ON no matter their defined Cold Redundant roll (active or Cold Standby). This guarantees that incorrect programming of the Cold Redundancy states of the power supply will never cause the power subsystem to shut down or become over loaded. The default state of the power subsystem is all power supplies ON. There needs to be at least one power supply in Cold Redundant Active state or Standard Redundant state to allow the Cold Standby state power supplies to go into Cold Standby state.
Caution: Installing two Power Supply Units with different wattage ratings on a system is not supported. This will not provide Power Supply Redundancy and causes the system to log multiple errors.
3.4.1 1200W CRPS Cold Redundancy
If the output power is less than 480W (40%). the Cold redundant function will be enable. Thus you will see one PSU working normal. The second PSU will be CR mode. The Power Supply LED is green blinking.
Table 25. 1200W CRPS Cold Redundancy Threshold.
| Enable (V) | percent | power (W) | Disable (V) | percent | power (W) | |
| Cold Standby 1 (02h) | 3.2 | 40.00% | 480(±5%) | 1.44 | 18.00% | 432(±5%) |
3.4.2 1600W CRPS Cold Redundancy
If the output power is less than 640W (40%). the Cold redundant function will be enable. Thus you will see one PSU working normal. The second PSU will be CR mode. The Power Supply LED is green blinking.
Table 26. 1600W CRPS Cold Redundancy Threshold.
| Enable (V) | percent | power (W) | Disable (V) | percent | power (W) | |
| Cold Standby 1 (02h) | 3.2 | 40.00% | 640(±5%) | 1.44 | 18.00% | 576(±5%) |
3.5 Control And Indicator Functions
The following sections define the input and output signals from the power supply. Signals that can be defined as low true use the following convention: Signal^# = low true .
3.5.1 PSON# Input Signal
The PSON ^# signal is required to remotely turn on/off the power supply. PSON ^# is an active low signal that turns on the +12V power rail. When this signal is not pulled low by the system, or left open, the outputs (except the +12VSB) turn off. This signal is pulled to a standby voltage by a pull-up resistor internal to the power supply. Refer to below table for the timing diagram.
Table 27. PSON# Signal Characteristics.
| Signal Type | Accepts an open collector/drain input from the system. Pull-up to VSB located in power supply. | |
| PSON# = Low | ON | |
| PSON# = High or Open | OFF | |

| Logic level low (power supply ON) | 0V | 1.0V |
| Logic level high (power supply OFF) | 2.0V | 3.46V |
| Source current, Vpson = low | 4mA | |
| Power up delay: Tpson_on_delay | 5msec | 400msec |
| PWOK delay: Tpson_pwok | 50msec | |
3.5.2 PWOK(power good) Output Signal
PWOK is a power OK signal and will be pulled HIGH by the power supply to indicate that all the outputs are within the regulation limits of the power supply. When any output voltage falls below regulation limits or when AC power has been removed for a time sufficiently long so that power supply operation is no longer guaranteed, PWOK will be de-asserted to a LOW state. See the table below for a representation of the timing characteristics of PWOK. The start of the PWOK delay time shall inhibited as long as any power supply output is in current limit.
Table 28. PWOK Signal Characteristics
| Signal Type | ||
| PWOK = High | Power OK | |
| PWOK = Low | Power Not OK | |
| MIN | MAX | |
| Logic level low voltage, Isink=400uA | 0V | 0.4V |
| Logic level high voltage, Isource=200μA | 2.4V | 3.46V |
| Sink current, PWOK = low | 400uA | |
| Source current, PWOK = high | 2mA | |
| PWOK delay: Tpwok_on | 100ms | 1000ms |
| PWOK rise and fall time | 100μsec | |
| Power down delay: T pwok_off | 1ms | 200msec |
3.5.3 SMBAlert# Signal
This signal indicates that the power supply is experiencing a problem that the user should investigate. This shall be asserted due to Critical events or Warning events. The signal shall activate in the case of critical component temperature reached a warning threshold, general failure, over-current, over-voltage, under-voltage, failed fan. This signal may also indicate the power supply is reaching its end of life or is operating in an environment exceeding the specified limits.
This signal is to be asserted in parallel with LED turning solid Amber or blink Amber.
Table 29. SMBAlert# Signal Characteristics
| Signal Type (Active Low) | Open collector/drain output from power supply. Pull-up to VSB located in system. | |
| Alert# = High | OK | |
| Alert# = Low | Power Alert to system | |
| MIN | MAX | |
| Logic level low voltage, Isink=4 mA | 0 V | 0.4 V |
| Logic level high voltage, Isink=50 μA | 3.46 V | |
| Sink current, Alert# = low | 4 mA | |
| Sink current, Alert# = high | 50 μA | |
| Alert# rise and fall time | 100 μs | |
3.6 Protection circuits
Protection circuits inside the power supply shall cause only the power supply's main outputs to shut down. If the power supply latches off due to a protection circuit tripping, an AC cycle OFF for 15sec and a PSON# cycle HIGH for 1sec shall be able to reset the power supply.
3.6.1 Current Limit (OCP)
The power supply shall have current limit to prevent the outputs from exceeding the values shown in table below. If the current limits are exceeded the power supply shall shutdown and latch off. The latch will be cleared by toggling the PSON ^# signal or by an AC power interruption. The power supply shall not be damaged from repeated power cycling in this condition. 12VSB will be auto-recovered after removing OCP limit.

| +12V_STB | 90 – 264VAC | 2.5A min; 3A max | 2.5A min; 3A max |
3.6.2 Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The power supply over voltage protection shall be locally sensed. The power supply shall shutdown and latch off after an over voltage condition occurs. This latch shall be cleared by toggling the PSON ^# signal or by an AC power interruption. The values are measured at the output of the power supply's connectors. The voltage shall never exceed the maximum levels when measured at the power connectors of the power supply connector during any single point of fail. The voltage shall never trip any lower than the minimum levels when measured at the power connector. 12VSB will be auto-recovered after removing OVP limit.

| Output Voltage | MIN (V) | MAX (V) |
| +12V | 13.3 | 14.5 |
| +12VSB | 13.3 | 14.5 |
3.6.3 Over Thermal protection

When the power supply temperature drops to within specified limits, the power supply shall restore power automatically, while the 12VSB remains always on. The OTP circuit must have built in margin such that the power supply will not oscillate on and off due to temperature recovering condition. The OTP trip level shall have a minimum of 4^ C of ambient temperature margin.

Figure 13. Power Supply Device Address
The PMBus* from PDB is connected to BMC of all four nodes. Only one board BMC is assigned to be the master BMC and communicate with PSU as single point. Other board BMCs receive PSU data from the master BMC. In case the master BMC is down, one of the slave board BMC will be promoted automatically as master BMC and maintain the communication.
3.7.1 PSU Address Lines A0
Address pins A0 is used by end use system to allocate unit address to a power supply in particular slot position.
For redundant systems there are two signals to set the address location of the power supply once it is installed in the system; Address0 and Address1. For non-redundant systems the power supply device address locations should align with the Address0/Address1 location of 0/0.

PMBus Monitoring Accuracy
3.8 Power Management Policy
When working with Intel ^® Server Board S2600JF, the BMC on each node will monitor its fans and temperature for critical failures. When there is a fan failure and a critical temperature event at the same time the node will be powered down. When this occurs the node will need to be manually powered back on.
Additionally on Intel ^® Server Board S2600JF/S2600WP/S2400LP, the BMC on node 3 and node 4 will monitor for a power supply over current condition or power supply over temperature condition. If either of these occur and the Shutdown Policy has been enabled then the node will be powered down. When this occurs the node will need to be manually powered back on but if the over current or over temperature event is detected again the node will be powered back off.
The following table shows the scheme of system power redundancy mode with node behavior:
Table 34. Power Management Policy
| Intel® Server System H2000Load with 2x 1200Wsupplies | Intel® Server System H2000Load with 2x 1600Wsupplies | System Power RedundancyMode | System behavior with one PSU AC lost orfailed |
| System Power Load | |||
| <1200W | <1600W | UnconstrainedRedundant Mode | No system throttling. All 4 nodes worknormally. |
| 1200W< current load <1800W | 1600W< current load <2160W | Optimal RedundantMode | With BIOS setting “servermanagement - shutdown policy” setto “disable” all nodes in the systemmay be throttled to maintain power.This may cause lower performance.With BIOS “ server management--shutdown policy” set to “enable”,Nodes 3 and 4 will shut down whileNodes 1 and 2 keep running withoutthrottling. Node 1 and Node 2 willhave no performance loss. |
| >1800W | >2160W | Non Redundant Mode | All nodes in the system mayshutdown |
The Shutdown Policy setting is only shown on Node 3 and Node 4, and is disabled by default but can be enabled or disabled in the BIOS setup Server Management page or by using the Set Shutdown Policy command.
4. Cooling Sub-System
The chassis cooling system contains the fan cooling sub-system of each node tray and common fan cooling in the power supply units. Both node fans and PSU fans work together as thermal solution to the chassis.
For each node, several components and configuration requirements make up the cooling sub-system. These include processors, chipsets, VR heatsinks, system fan module, CPU air-duct, and drive bay population. All are necessary to provide and regulate the air flow and air pressure needed to maintain the system's thermals when operating at or below the maximum specified thermal limits.
In order to maintain the necessary airflow within the system, you must properly install the air-duct, HDD dummy carrier, PSU dummy filler and the top cover.
Each node uses a variable fan speed control engine to provide adequate cooling for the node and whole system at various ambient temperature conditions, under various server workloads, and with the least amount of acoustic noise possible. The fans operate at the lowest speed for any given condition to minimize acoustics.
Note: The server system does not support redundant cooling fans. If any of the node fans fail, you must power down the respective node as soon as possible to replace the fan.
4.1 Power Supply Fan
Each power supply module supports one non-redundant dual rotor 40 mm fan. The fans control the cooling of the power supply and some drive bays. These fans are not replaceable. Therefore, if a power supply fan fails, you must replace the power supply module.
4.2 Drive Bay Population Requirement
In order to maintain system thermal requirements, you must fully populate all hard drive bays. Hard drive trays used for hot-swap drives must either have a hard drive installed or not have a hard drive installed.
If only one power supply unit is used, a PSU dummy filler must be used to match the airflow requirement.
IMPORTANT: If the drive bay is missing or not fully populated, the system will not meet the thermal cooling requirements of the processor, which will most likely result in degraded performance as a result of throttling or thermal shutdown of the system. It is recommended to keep/apply the dummy plastic blocker(as shipped with HDD carrier) on any blank HDD carrier.
5. Hard Disk Drive Support
The server system provides two SKUs to support different types of Hard Disk Drives (HDD):
■ H2312xx: Supports 12x 3.5" HDD
■ H2216xx: Supports 16x 2.5" HDD
5.1 Hard Disk Drive Bays Scheme
The server system H2000 chassis can support up to twelve carrier-mounted SATA/SAS 3.5-inch hard disk drives, or sixteen carrier-mounted SATA/SAS 2.5" hard disk drives. The drives may be "electrically" hot-swapped while the system power is applied, but you must take caution before hot-swapping while the system is functioning under operating system/application control or data may be lost.
Below are hard disk drive distribution schemes on different SKUs of H2000 chassis family.

5.2 Hard Drive Carrier
There are two types of HDD carriers for two chassis SKUs respectively:

natural_image
Diagram of an electronic device with a screw and indicator lights, showing no text or symbols on the main body.Figure 18. 2.5" HDD Assembly Overview
Hot-swap drive carriers make insertion and extraction of the drive from the system very simple. Each type of drive carrier has its own latching mechanism, which is used to both insert and extract drives from the chassis and lock the carrier in place. Each type of drive carrier supports two light pipes to direct light from the drive status LEDs on the backplane to the carrier's face allowing it to be viewable from the front of the system.
5.3 Hot-Swap Hard Drive Support
Both the Intel® Server Chassis H2312xx and H2216xx can support hot-swap SATA/SAS hard drives. Hard drives interface with the passive backplane through a blind mate connection when drives are installed into a hard drive bay using hot-swap drive carriers.
Each compute node in the system has dedicated Hot Swap Controller (HSC) to manage three or four HDDs. There are totally four sets of independent Programmable System On Chip (PSOC) on the backplane, to function as HSC respectively to four compute nodes.
The following sections describe the feature and connections between the backplane and server board.
5.3.1 Backplane Feature set:
- Common HSBP Microcontroller Cypress* PSoC 1 part
- H2312xxJR/KR: 12x SAS/SATA 3.5" HDDs at 6Gb/s SAS/SATA or slower speeds, divided into four groups of three hot swap hard drives. Each HDD group is associated with one of the four compute nodes respectively in the 2U chassis.
- H2216xx/JR/KR: 16x SAS/SATA 2.5" HDDs at 6Gb/s SAS/SATA or slower speeds, divided into 4 groups of four hot swap hard drives. Each HDD group is associated with one of the four compute nodes respectively in the 2U chassis.
- One SGPIO SFF-8485 interface per compute node, total of four SGPIO on the backplane.
-

| Green | Blink | System ready, but degraded: redundancy lost such as the power supply or fan failure; non-critical temp/voltage threshold; battery failure; or predictive power supply failure. | |
| Amber | On | Critical Alarm: Critical power modules failure, critical fans failure, voltage (power supply), critical temperature and voltage | |
| Amber | Blink | Non-Critical Alarm: Redundant fan failure, redundant power module failure, non-critical temperature and voltage | |
| - | Off | Power off: System unpluggedPower on: System powered off and in standby, no prior degraded\non-critical\critical state |
Notes:
- Blink rate is \~1 Hz at 50% duty cycle.
- It is also off when the system is powered off (S5) or in a sleep state (S1).
- The power LED sleep indication is maintained on standby by the chipset. If the system is powered down without going through the BIOS, the LED state in effect at the time of power off is restored when the system is powered on until the BIOS clear it.
- If the system is not powered down normally, it is possible the Power LED will blink at the same time the system status LED is off due to a failure or configuration change that prevents the BIOS from running.
6.2.1 Power/Sleep LED
Table 44. Power LED Operation
| State | Power Mode | LED | Description |
| Power Off | Non-ACPI | Off | System power is off and the BIOS has not initialized the chipset. |
| Power On | Non-ACPI | Solid On | System power is on but the BIOS has not yet initialized the chipset. |
| S5 | ACPI | Off | Mechanical is off and the operating system has not saved any context to the hard disk. |
| S1 Sleep | ACPI | Blink | DC power is still on. The operating system has saved context and gone into a level of low-power state. |
| S0 | ACPI | Solid On | System and the operating system are up and running. |
Note: Blink rate is \~ 1Hz at 50% duty cycle.
6.2.2 System Status LED
Table 45. System Status LED Operation
| Color | State | Criticality | Description |
| Off | N/A | Not ready | Power off or BMC initialization completes if no degraded, non-critical, critical, or non-recoverable conditions exist after power cable plug in. |
| Green/Amber | Both Solid On | Not ready | Pre DC Power On – 15-20 second BMC Initialization when AC is applied to the server. The system will not POST until BMC initialization completes. |
| Green | Solid on | Ok | System ready |
| Green | Blink | Degraded | BIOS detected1. Unable to use all of the installed memory (more than one DIMM installed). ^1 2. In a mirrored configuration, when memory mirroring takes place and system loses memory redundancy. This is not covered by (2). ^1 3. PCI Express* correctable link errors.4. Integrated BMC detected5. One of redundant power supplies not present.6. CPU disabled – if there are two CPUs and one CPU is disabled.7. Fan alarm – Fan failure. Number of operational fans should be more than minimum number needed to cool the system.8. Non-critical threshold crossed – Temperature, voltage, power nozzle, power gauge, and PROCHOT2 (Therm Ctrl) sensors.9. Battery failure.10. Predictive failure when the system has redundant power supplies. |
| Amber | Blink | Non-critical | Non-fatal alarm – system is likely to failBIOS Detected1. In non-mirroring mode, if the threshold of ten correctable errors is crossed within the window. ^1 2. PCI Express* uncorrectable link errors.Integrated BMC Detected1. Critical threshold crossed – Voltage, temperature, power nozzle, power gauge, and PROCHOT (Therm Ctrl) sensors.2. VRD Hot asserted.3. One of the redundant power supplies failed.4. Minimum number of fans to cool the system are not present or have failed. |
| Amber | Solid on | Critical, non-recoverable | Fatal alarm – system has failed or shutdownBIOS Detected1. DIMM failure when there is one DIMM present and no good memory is present. ^1 2. Run-time memory uncorrectable error in non-redundant mode. ^1 3. CPU configuration error (for instance, processor stepping mismatch).Integrated BMC Detected11. CPU CATERR signal asserted.12. CPU 1 is missing.13. CPU THERMTRIP.14. System cooling fan failure.15. No power good – redundant power fault.• Power Unit Redundancy sensor – Insufficient resources offset (indicates not enough power supplies are present). |
Notes:
1. The BIOS detects these conditions and sends a Set Fault Indication command to the Integrated BMC to provide the contribution to the system status LED.
2. Blink rate is \~ 1Hz at 50% duty cycle.
6.2.3 System Status LED - BMC Initialization
When 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 be solid on, both amber and green. Once BMC initialization has completed, the status LED will stay green solid on. If power button is pressed before BMC initialization completes, the system will not boot to POST.
Appendix A: Integration and Usage Tips
Before attempting to integrate and configure your system, you should reference this section, which provides a list of useful information.
- Remove dummy tray cover before install node tray.
- Install dummy tray cover when respective node tray is plugged out.
- System fans in node trays are not hot-swappable.
- You must use the CPU/memory air-duct to maintain system thermals.
- To maintain system thermals, you must populate all hard drive bays with either a hard drive or drive blank.
- You must remove AC power from the system prior to opening the chassis for service
You can download the latest system documentation, drivers, and system software from the Intel Support website at http://www.intel.com/p/en_US/support/highlights/server/H2000JF.
