Supported and Validated 3.2.2.
PAGE 38
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS DIMM population rules require that DIMMs within a channel be populated starting with the BLUE DIMM slot or DIMM farthest from the processor in a “fill-farthest” approach. In addition, when populating a Quad-rank DIMM with a Single- or Dual-rank DIMM in the same channel, the Quad-rank DIMM must be populated farthest from the processor. Note that Quad-rand DIMMs and UDIMMs are not allowed in three slots populated configurations.
PAGE 39
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS ® Figure 8. Intel Server Boards S4600LH2 and S4600LT2 DIMM Slot Layout The following are generic DIMM population requirements that generally apply to both the Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2 and S4600LT2. • • • • • • • • • All DIMMs must be DDR3 DIMMs Unbuffered DIMMs can be ECC or non-ECC. Mixing of Registered and Unbuffered DIMMs is not allowed per platform. Mixing of LRDIMM with any other DIMM type is not allowed per platform.
PAGE 40
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS • • • • DIMMs with different timing parameters can be installed on different slots within the same channel, but only timings that support the slowest DIMM will be applied to all. As a consequence, faster DIMMs will be operated at timings supported by the slowest DIMM populated. When one DIMM is used, it must be populated in the BLUE DIMM slot (farthest away from the CPU) of a given channel.
PAGE 41
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS Lockstep channels must be populated identically. That is, each DIMM in one channel must have a corresponding DIMM of identical organization (number ranks, number banks, number rows, and number columns). DIMMs may be of different speed grades, but the iMC module will be configured to operate all DIMMs according to the slowest parameters present by the Memory Reference Code (MRC). Channel 0 and channel 1 can be in lockstep. Channel 2 and 3 can be in lockstep.
PAGE 42
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS For RAS modes that require matching populations, the same slot positions across channels must hold the same DIMM type with regards to size and organization. DIMM timings do not have to match but timings will be set to support all DIMMs populated (i.e., DIMMs with slower timings will force faster DIMMs to the slower common timing modes). 3.2.2.5.
PAGE 43
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 3.2.2.5.4 Patrol Scrubbing for ECC Memory Patrol scrubs are intended to ensure that data with a correctable error does not remain in DRAM long enough to stand a significant chance of further corruption to an uncorrectable stage. 3.2.2.5.5 Rank Sparing Mode Rank Sparing Mode enhances the system’s RAS capability by “swapping out” failing ranks of DIMMs. Rank Sparing is strictly channel and rank oriented. Each memory channel is a Sparing Domain.
PAGE 44
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS serious impact to operations. But with Mirroring Mode in operation, an Uncorrectable ECC Error from one channel becomes a Mirroring Fail Over (MFO) event instead, in which the IMC retrieves the correct data from the “mirror image” channel and disables the failed channel. Since the ECC Error was corrected in the process of the MFO Event, the ECC Error is demoted to a Correctable ECC Error.

Functional Block Diagram of Processor IIO Sub-system The following sub-sections describe the server board I/O features supported by the PCIe interface of the processor IIO module. Features and functions of the Intel® C600 Series chipset will be described in its own dedicated section. 3.2.3.1 PCIe Interface The integrated I/O module of each installed processor provides the PCI Express interface to the server board.
PAGE 46
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS Each PCIe port from the given processor IIO module can be bifurcated down to smaller segments as needed. The number of PCIe port segments required is dependent on the number and type of PCIe devices that need to be supported for the given system configuration. The root port is identified by the port number followed by the letter “A”. As each port is bifurcated, the smaller segments are identified by the port number followed by sequential letters starting with “A”.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 3.2.3.2 Platform Configuration Structure The DMI2 physically connects the processor and the PCH. From a configuration standpoint the DMI2 is a logical extension of PCI Bus 0. DMI2 and the internal devices in the processor IIO and PCH logically constitute PCI Bus 0 to configuration software. As a result, all devices internal to the processor and the PCH appear to be on PCI Bus 0. 3.2.3.2.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 4. System Security 4.1 BIOS Password Protection The BIOS uses passwords to prevent unauthorized tampering with the server setup. Passwords can restrict entry to the BIOS Setup, restrict use of the Boot Popup menu, and suppress automatic USB device reordering. There is also an option to require a Power On password entry in order to boot the system.
PAGE 69
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS As a security measure, if a User or Administrator enters an incorrect password three times in a row during the boot sequence, the system is placed into a halt state. A system reset is required to exit out of the halt state. This feature makes it more difficult to guess or break a password.

User makes a TPM administrative request through the operating system’s security software. 2. The operating system requests the BIOS to execute the TPM administrative command through TPM ACPI methods and then resets the system. 3. The BIOS verifies the physical presence and confirms the command with the operator. 4.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 3. FP status LED and DIMM fault LEDs may not reflect BIOS detected errors. 6.5 Fault Resilient Booting (FRB) Fault resilient booting (FRB) is a set of BIOS and BMC algorithms and hardware support that allow a multiprocessor system to boot even if the bootstrap processor (BSP) fails. Only FRB2 is supported using watchdog timer commands. FRB2 refers to the FRB algorithm that detects system failures during POST.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 6.9.1 Thermal and Acoustic Management This feature refers to enhanced fan management to keep the system optimally cooled while reducing the amount of noise generated by the system fans. Aggressive acoustics standards might require a trade-off between fan speed and system performance parameters that contribute to the cooling requirements, primarily memory bandwidth. The BIOS, BMC, and SDRs work together to provide control over how this trade-off is determined.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 6.10.2 IPMB Communication Interface The IPMB communication interface uses the 100 KB/s version of an I2C bus as its physical medium. For more information on I2C specifications, see The I2C Bus and How to Use It. The IPMB implementation in the BMC is compliant with the IPMB v1.0, revision 1.0. The BMC IPMB slave address is 20h. The BMC both sends and receives IPMB messages over the IPMB interface. Non-IPMB messages received by means of the IPMB interface are discarded.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 6.10.3.2.2 Dedicated Management Channel An additional LAN channel dedicated to BMC usage and not available to host SW is supported via an optional RMM4 add-in card. There is only a PHY device present on the RMM4 add-in card. The BMC has a built-in MAC module that uses the RGMII interface to link with the card’s PHY. Therefore, for this dedicated management interface, the PHY and MAC are located in different devices.
PAGE 86
Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS 6.10.3.3 IPV6 Support In addition to IPv4, the server board has support for IPv6 for manageability channels. Configuration of IPv6 is provided by extensions to the IPMI Set & Get LAN Configuration Parameters commands as well as through a Web Console IPv6 configuration web page. The BMC supports IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously so they are both configured separately and completely independently.

Intel® Server Boards S4600LH2/T2 TPS  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 to describe a sensor:  - A: Auto-rearm - M: Manual rearm Default Hysteresis  The hysteresis setting applies to all thresholds of the sensor.
