Install Intel® Remote Management Module 3 (optional)
Attach the module bracket to the 
chassis with two screws as shown.
Note that screws install from the 
back of the chassis.
Attach the RMM3 module bracket to the RMM3 module with two screws as shown.
Connect one end of the cable (labeled 'RMM3') to the RMM3 connector on the RMM3 module.  Note that cable
connectors are keyed and can only go in one way.
Connect the opposite end of the cable (labeled 'server board') to the RMM3 connector on the server board.

Install I/O Expansion Module (optional)
Squeeze the sides of the filler panel(s) to disengage it from the server system back panel 
and remove it.  Note:  If you are installing an I/O expansion module that uses only one slot, 
remove the filler panel only from the slot shown so that the module can be attached to I/O 
Connector 1; do not remove the filler panel from the other slot.
Install the standoffs to the server 
board by pressing into the 
holes as shown.
Note:  For the 1-socket 
module, install three 
standoffs as shown in 
gray.  For the 2-socket 
module, also install 
the fourth standoff as 
shown in red.
Position the module over
the server board, fit the 
front of the module into the 
back panel slot(s), and 
then attach the module to 
the server board connector 
and engage the standoffs.

Install Memory DIMMs
To Install DIMMs:
Memory Configurations and Population Order:
Note:  For additional memory configurations, see the Service Guide 
on the Intel® Server Deployment Toolkit 3.0 CD that accompanied 
your Intel®
 Server System SR1600UR, or go to:  
http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/s5520ur/ 
Memory sizing and configuration is supported only for qualified 
DIMMs approved by Intel. For a list of supported memory, use the 
Server Configurator Tool available at:  
http://serverconfigurator.intel.com/default.aspx
For best performance, a minimum of three DIMMs per CPU is recommended.  
In a single-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first.  In a 
dual-processor configuration, always populate A1 DIMM first for CPU 1 and D1 DIMM 
first for CPU2.  In order to maintain adequate thermal levels, DIMMs or DIMM 
blanks must be installed in the DIMM slots as per the following requirements:
•  If you have only one processor installed, all CPU 1 DIMM slots 
  must either have a DIMM or DIMM blank installed.  You may 
  either leave the CPU 2 DIMM slots empty or store extra 
  blanks in the blue DIMM slots.
•  If you have both processors installed, all blue DIMM slots in 
  CPU 1 and CPU 2 must either have a DIMM or a DIMM blank 
  installed.  You may store extra DIMM blanks in any of the 
  unused CPU 1 DIMM slots.
Open both DIMM socket levers.
Push down firmly on the DIMM until it
snaps into place and both levers close.
Insert DIMM making sure the connector edge 
of the DIMM aligns correctly with the slot.

IMPORTANT!  Visually check that each
latch is fully closed and correctly

Install the Heatsink(s)
TIM
Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened in a 
diagonal manner using the following procedure:
Note:  Heatsink styles may vary.
Remove the protective film on the TIM if present.
  Using a #2 Phillips* screwdriver, start with screw 1 and engage screw
          threads by giving it two rotations and stop.   (Do not fully tighten.) 
  Repeat steps C and D by giving each screw two rotations each time 
  until each screw is lightly tightened up to a maximum of 
  8 inch-lbs torque.
  Proceed to screw 2 and engage screw threads by giving it two 
  rotations and stop. Similarly, engage screws 3 and 4. 
D
  CAUTION: The heatsink has thermal interface 
  material (TIM) on the underside of it.  Use caution so 
      that you do not damage the thermal interface material.  
  Use gloves to avoid sharp edges.
