Processor Support
All SC5299 cases will require you to purchase a Xeon processor that includes and ACTIVE HEATSINK (this means the heatsink has a fan attached). You can tell when ordering the CPU by looking at the Intel Part Number, it will end in "A" (example - BX805555030A). Third party Xeon LGA771 active heatsink may also be used but not guaranteed.
Optional Accessories
Local control panel option AXXLCPPED = ASI SKU 30631 (fits in unused 5.25" drive bay) . Does NOT require IMM (Intel Management Module) when used with Bensley platform because full BMC is integrated to server board.
 
Floppy: All new Intel server board DO NOT have a standard 34-pin floppy connector. Therefore to add floppy drive you will need two parts:
  • AXXUSBFLOPPY INTERNAL SLIM-LIM FLOPPY KIT (includes drive) = SKU 50003
  • AXXCDUSBFDBRK 5.25" slim-line CD/DVD/Floppy bracket KIT = SKU 49016

This will also allow you to add one SLIM optical drive - for example SKU 50831 (AXXDVDROM). However any brand slim optical drive is supported.
