Re: Auxiliary Signal Power Detail

Hi Guys,

Thanks much for the feedback. Sorry for the delay. In the interim I decided to pick up a non-Intel m/b for comparison. Same thing. So I bought a comparable p/s from another mfr; same thing. Haven't tried the new p/s with the Intel m/b yet. That's next.

This is pretty puzzling. I'm wondering if the processor might be bad. Unfortunately I don't have more than one L5520 lying around.

Hope to have these tests done later today and will post how that went.

And yes, I'd come across the technical manual. Reminds me of the mainframe Principles of Operation guide IBM put out. Way TMI...

Auxiliary Signal Power Detail

webadmin@intel.com — Thu, 30 Dec 2010 02:57:03 GMT

Hi,

In assembling a new server with the S5500HCV motherboard, I came across a power connection labeled 'Auxiliary Signal Power Detail' in the Quick Start guide. Can anyone explain what this is and if it is required? If it is required, which power supplies offer this connector? There doesn't seem to be much documentation on it.

Thanks!

Hi,

I have an interest in this topic and have taken a look at the S5520HC motherboard family. What I find fuzzy is are the differences between the different motherboads in this group. There are the HCT, HCR, SCR, WBR and HCVR flavors. I see some differences in memory capacity. Is there a comparison chart that lists the feature set(s) of the group and which models have what features? That sure would be handy...

Thanks!
