Important Note: All product order codes ending with ‘R’ identify new product versions that are available as of revision 2.0 of this document. While
product order codes not ending with ‘R’ may be referenced within this document, only product order codes ending in ‘(R)’ cover both SKU derivations.
(i.e. S2600STB(R) covers S2600STB and S2600STBR.)

Intel® Server S2600ST Product Family Configuration Guide
Note: Previous generation Intel® Xeon® processors and previous-generation processor heat sinks are not compatible on server boards described in
this document.
Note: In 2019, Intel released the 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family. To enable support for the new processor family, Intel created an
updated system software stack including the system BIOS and other system firmware.
In support of the 2nd Gen Intel Xeon processor Scalable family, Intel began pre-loading the supporting system software stack onto all server boards in
the Intel® Server S2600ST product family. All server boards with pre-loaded system software stacks compatible with the 2nd Gen Intel® Xeon®
processor Scalable family can be identified by a product order code ending in ‘R’.
Existing server boards in the Intel® Server S2600ST product family with product codes that do NOT end in ‘R’ can be made to support the 2nd Gen
Intel® Xeon® processor Scalable family by updating the system software stack. A system update package (SUP) with the latest system software stack
can be downloaded from https://downloadcenter.intel.com.

The backside (cable connector side) of the standard 8 x 2.5” combo backplane (iPC AUP8X25S3NVDK, included in hot-swap combo drive bay kit
AUP8X25S3NVDK) includes two 4-port 8643 mini-SAS HD data connectors (ports 0-3 and ports 4-7) for SAS/SATA support, and eight PCIe* OCuLink
connectors for NVMe* support (one connector for each PCIe NVMe SFF drive). Each OCuLink connector is labeled with a drive ID (0-7) which
corresponds to a matching drive interface connector on the front side (drive interface side) of the backplane.
Note: Up to four NVMe drives are supported on Intel® Server Chassis P4304XXMFEN2 and P4304XXMUXX.

Drive configurations consisting of more than eight drives may require the addition of an SAS expander card. In a 16 x 2.5” system configuration, the
SAS expander RES3FV288 must be installed in any available PCIe add-in slot or, when using SAS expander RES3TV360, must be installed in the
chassis between the system fans and the backplane of the storage drive bays. Table 22 lists the features of both expanders.
Note: The onboard SATA ports are not compatible with SAS expander cards. The onboard SATA ports can be cabled directly to a specified backplane
or drive only.
