Board Features and Benefits • Support for one or two Intel® Xeon® Processor 5500 or 5600 series Increase server performance with no increase in power consumption • Power efficient board architecture with optimized voltage regulator designs and a specialized layout for efficient cooling Voltage-regulator optimization reduces the excess heat produced by inefficient and wasteful power conversion and a spread-core lay-out allows lower fan speeds, reducing the power used to move air across the board. Together these optimizations reduce power consumption • Fast, scalable and energy-efficient DDR3 memory Eight, registered or unbuffered DIMMs at up to 1333 MHz, and 6 memory channels ensure energy-efficient performance for any application • Expandable I/O architecture One PCIe 2.0 slot plus an optional Intel® I/O Expansion Module provide maximum flexibility in 1U rack mount applications • Multiple storage controller options Six integrated 3 Gbps SATA ports or optional SAS via Intel® I/O Expansion Modules with either SAS or SAS RAID support maximize storage flexibility without consuming the PCI Express slot System Features and Benefits • Purpose built, 1U rack server chassis Energy efficient design optimized for integration with Intel® Server Board S5500WB • High efficiency power-supply options Systems with either a 650-watt high efficiency (80 Plus) power supply or 450-watt high efficiency AC or DC (1+0) or redundant (1+1) power supply configurations, all PMBus capable supporting Intel® Intelligent Power Node Manager for policy-based power capping to enable increased rack densities and improved data center utilization • Optimized fan speed control & thermal solutions BIOS optimizations include custom fan speed control that enables slower fan speeds, reducing system power requirements, saving energy and reducing TCO • Flexible storage configuration Four hot swap SAS/SATA drive bays supporting either 3.5” or 2.5” HDD in the same drive carrier, providing the flexible storage configurations you need Technology that Defines Innovation Intel server technologies provide powerful capabilities designed to make Intel® Server Products more reliable, more efficient, more available, and easier to service. These innovative technologies are seamlessly integrated into Intel® Server Products to complement the capabilities of the latest generation Intel® Xeon® processor and chipset technologies. Intel SpeedStep® Technology Dynamically adjusts processor core frequency and voltages which can in turn reduce power consumption and reduce operating costs for data centers Intel® Active Airflow Control Operates chassis fans at the minimum speed required to cool the system, reserving additional speed for those times when ambient conditions or high workloads require it Intel® Server Management Allows increased IT efficiency with a combination of hardware and software products that streamline the deployment and management of servers According to the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, the typical server wastes 30-40% of its input power. This wasted power is given off as heat in the data center which adds significantly to the air conditioning load of the data center and makes the true cost of ownership of inefficient servers much higher than just the power it consumes. In a traditional data center, each Watt of power dissipated requires an additional Watt of electricity in air handling and chilling, so the impact can be doubled. http://www.climatesaverscomputing.org/about/faq/ 0% (Active Idle) 74 32W Savings 106 L O A D % UP TO 30% WALL POWER SAVINGS1 248 100% 42W Savings 0 290 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 Wall Power ( Wat t s) Intel® Server Board S5500WB Intel® Server Board S5520UR An optimized system built around the Intel® Server Board S5500WB saves 32W at the wall over a typical 1U server such as the Intel® Server System SR1600UR. This equates to total data center power savings of 64W (in a typical data center with PUE of 2.0)2 Over a four year life, with electricity cost of $0.10 per KWh, that would amount to over $224 in power costs saving for each server deployed.3 Intel® ESAA Makes it Easy Getting components from different vendors to work seamlessly in a single, reliable solution can be a challenge. The Intel® Enabled Server Acceleration Alliance (Intel® ESAA) gives system builders access to pre-verified solution configuration guides (“recipes”) for Intel® Server Products that are jointly developed with ISVs around the globe. Applications include HPC, virtualization, storage, backup and recovery, database, and more. Available exclusively for Intel® Server Products, Intel® ESAA recipes provide detailed hardware and software requirements and comprehensive configuration and deployment instructions to help meet complex customer requirements rapidly. For added customer confidence, resellers can request a certificate stating that Intel and the application vendor stand behind their branded Intel Server Product-based solution. VMware, Red Hat, Citrix, and EMC solutions may also qualify for free pass-through branded system certification and listing on the vendor’s Hardware Compatibility List (HCL). Intel® Cluster Ready (ICR) Certification is also available for the Intel® Server Board S5500WB family of products. The ICR program defines a common basis for clusters in collaboration with OEMs, channel members, and ISVs. Intel ESAA offers recipes that detail the configuration of HPC clusters on Intel® Server Products for validation with ICR tools. Available recipes for the Intel® Server Board S5500WB, Intel Server System SR1690WB and Intel Server System SR1695WB include: High-Performance Computing (HPC) Deployments: • Platform Cluster Manager* 1.2 and Intel® Cluster Ready Configuration on Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 5.3 • QLogic TrueScale InfiniBand* HPC Cluster on Linux* • Voltaire InfiniBand* Interconnect for Linux* HPC Cluster: OS Certifications: • Oracle Enterprise Linux* 5.3 • Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 5.3 • Red Hat Enterprise Linux* 5.3 with Integrated Virtualization Pass Through System Certifications: • VMware Infrastructure 3 for ESX* 3.5 • VMware vSphere 4 for ESX* 4.0/ ESXi 4.0 Installable* • EMC* Storage • Citrix XenServer* 5.5 With help from the Intel ESAA program, you can get to market early with leading-edge solutions based on the Intel® Server Board S5500WB family of products— and stay ahead of the competitive curve.

Variables were fan configuration, cooling duct design, fan speed control and power supply wattage and efficiency rating. 2 PUE = Power Usage Effectiveness. A PUE of 2.0 means that for every 2 watts in at the utility meter, only one watt is delivered out to the IT load (the server in this case). PUE ratio of 2.0 is the average value across all U.S. data centers. Source: http://www.energystar.gov/ia/partners/prod_development/downloads/EPA_Datacenter_Report_Congress_Final1.pdf 3 Calculation backup: 32W x 4 years x 365 days x 24 hours/1000 = 1,121 Kilo Watt Hours (KWh). At a PUE of 2.0, that becomes 2,241 KWh x $0.10/ KWh = $224. 4 When installing two processors, both processors must be from the same processor series; either two Intel® Xeon® processor 5500 series or two Intel® Xeon® processor 5600 series. Out of the box support for the Intel Xeon 5600 series processors will be indicated by the addition of the letter “R” at the end of the Product Order Code. For boards and systems currently supporting the Intel Xeon 5500 series, a BIOS update is required before installing the 5600 series processor(s). Refer to http://support.intel.com for more information. 5 For tested Intel® RAID Controller options go to http://support.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/compat_matrix.htm 6 Intel® Virtualization Technology requires a computer system with an enabled Intel® processor, BIOS, virtual machine monitor (VMM) and, for some uses, certain computer system software enabled for it. Functionality, performance or other benefits will vary depending on hardware and software configurations and may require a BIOS update. Software applications may not be compatible with all operating systems. Please check with your application vendor. 7 For optional Intel® I/O Modules go to http://www.intel.com/products/server/io/index.htm INFORMATION IN THIS DOCUMENT IS PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH INTEL PRODUCTS.
