Support
Some (not all) system configurations of the Intel
®
Server System R2000BB product family have thermal and
mechanical support for Intel
®
Xeon Phi
™
Coprocessor cards and Non-Intel GPGPU add-in cards. Which card
and system configurations can be supported is dependent on power and thermal limits of the system, and
power and thermal requirements of the add-in card. This chapter will provide an overview of the system
configuration criteria needed to support these high power cards.

5.1 High Power Add-in Card Support Criteria
• Due to thermal limits, Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor cards and non-Intel GPGPU cards will only be
supported in the following base system SKUs: R2308BB#####, R2208BB#####, and R2216BB#####.
See Appendix D at the end of this document for additional configuration information.
See Appendix D at the end of this document for additional configuration information.
• Only Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor cards and non-Intel GPGPU cards configured with active heat
sinks (heat sink + fan) will be supported.
NOTE: Due to thermal and air flow limits, high power add-in cards (> 75W) with passive heat sinks and/
or a minimum air flow requirement of >200 LFM, cannot be supported.
or a minimum air flow requirement of >200 LFM, cannot be supported.
• Intel
®
Xeon Phi™ coprocessor cards and non-Intel GPGPU cards with active heat sinks will only be
supported when installed in either of the two following riser card options:
o
Riser #1 – Riser card with one PCIe add-in card slot (Intel product code AXX2UPCIEX16)
o
Riser #2 – Riser card with two PCIe add-in card slots (Intel product code A2UL16RISER).
With these riser cards installed, the fan control system will operate system fans at a higher speed. No
other riser cards can be supported due to air flow and thermal limits.
other riser cards can be supported due to air flow and thermal limits.
• A maximum of 75W of power can be supported directly from the riser card. Power requirements above
75W will require the additional power to be drawn from either of the two 2x2 pin “OPT_12V_ PWR”
connectors on the server board. Power cables for these connectors are included in the A2UL16RISER
and AXX2UPCIEX16 riser card accessory kits and can support both 6 and 8 pin GPU card power
connectors.
connectors on the server board. Power cables for these connectors are included in the A2UL16RISER
and AXX2UPCIEX16 riser card accessory kits and can support both 6 and 8 pin GPU card power
connectors.
• Configuration Note: In order to support a non-Intel GPGPU card in Riser Slot #2, the Auxiliary 12V
power connector of the add-in card MUST be located on the back edge of the card. Aux 12V power
connectors located on the top edge of the add-in card will interfere with the chassis side wall.

• A total system power budget should be calculated to determine if the power draw of the desired system
configuration meets the power limits of the power supplies. A power budget tool for the specified
system can be downloaded from http://www.intel.com/support.
