1.4Special features
1.4.1Product highlights
Latest processor technology 
The motherboard comes with two LGA-771 sockets that support Dual Core Intel® Xeon™ processors with 1333/1066/667 MHz Front Side Bus (FSB).
Dual-core processors contain two physical CPU cores to meet demands for more powerful processing. Intel® Xeon™ processors incorporate the Intel®
Hyper Threading Technology and Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T). The EM64T enables the support for 64-bit operation system, such as 64-bit Windows® and Linux. See page 2-9 for details.
Intel® 5000V and Intel® 6321ESB chipset
The Intel® 5000V Memory Controller Hub (MCH) and the Intel® 6321ESB provide the vital interfaces for the motherboard.
The MCH provides the processor, dual-channel FB-DIMM memory support, and PCI Express interfaces. The Intel® 6321ESB is a new generation server class I/O controller hub that provides the interface for PCI 2.3, PCI Express, and PCIX.
Intel® EM64T 
The motherboard supports Intel® processors with the Intel® EM64T (Extended Memory 64 Technology). The Intel® EM64T feature allows your computer to run on 64-bit operating systems and access larger amounts of system memory for faster and more efficient computing.
Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST)
The Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST) intelligently manages the
CPU resources by automatically adjusting the CPU voltage and core frequency depending on the CPU loading and system speed or power requirement.
FB-DIMM memory support
This motherboard supports fully buffered DIMMs (FB-DIMMs), the latest memory solution that extends memory capacity and provide high-speed, high-density system memory peformance. FB-DIMMs use Advanced Memory Buffer (AMB) chips that transmit signals between the memory modules and controllers with improved signal integrity and reduced errors. See page 2 14 for details.
1- |
Chapter 1: Product introduction |
PCI Express™ interface 
The motherboard fully supports PCI Express, the latest I/O interconnect technology that speeds up the PCI bus. PCI Express features point topoint serial interconnections between devices and allows higher clockspeeds by carrying data in packets. This high speed interface is software compatible with existing PCI or
PCI-X specifications. See page 2-22 for details.
82563 LAN solution 
The motherboard comes with a dual-port 82563EB network connection to provide a total solution for your networking needs. See page 2-29 for the location of the LAN ports. See section 2.6 Jumpers for details on Gigabit LAN settings.
Serial ATA II technology 
The motherboard supports the Serial ATA II 3 Gb/s technology through 6321ESB Serial ATA interfaces. The Serial ATA II specification provides twice the bandwidth of the current Serial ATA products with a host of new features, including Native Command Queuing (NCQ), Power Management (PM) Implementation Algorithm, and Hot Swap. Serial ATA allows thinner, more flexible cables with lower pin count and reduced voltage requirements. See page 2-31 for details.
USB 2.0 technology 
The motherboard implements the Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification, dramatically increasing the connection speed from the 12 Mbps bandwidth on USB 1.1 to a fast 480 Mbps on USB 2.0. USB 2.0 is backward compatible with USB 1.1. See pages 2-29 and 2-32 for details.
Temperature, fan, and voltage monitoring
The CPU temperature is monitored by the W83793G chip to prevent overheating and damage. The system fan rotations per minute (RPM) is monitored for timely failure detection. The chip monitors the voltage levels to ensure stable supply of current for critical components. See page 4-29 for details.
Intel® IOAT
Intel® I/O Acceleration Technology (IOAT) is an integrated server platform I/O solution that addresses all segments of the server I/O bottleneck problem using TCP/IP without requiring any modification of existing or future applications. Intel® IOAT is a system-wide solution that increases CPU efficiency and delivers data to/from applications faster than current server platforms.

2.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install motherboard components or change any motherboard settings.
•Unplug the power cord from the wall socket before touching any component.
•Use a grounded wrist strap or touch a safely grounded object or a metal object, such as the power supply case, before handling components to avoid damaging them due to static electricity.
•Hold components by the edges to avoid touching the ICs on them.
•Whenever you uninstall any component, place it on a grounded antistatic pad or in the bag that came with the component.
•Before you install or remove any component, ensure
that the power supply is switched off or the power cord is detached from the power supply. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to the motherboard, peripherals, and/or components.

2.2Motherboard overview
Before you install the motherboard, study the configuration of your chassis to ensure that the motherboard fits into it.
To optimize the motherboard features, we highly recommend that you install it in an SSI EEB 3.61 compliant chassis.
Make sure to unplug the chassis power cord before installing or removing the motherboard. Failure to do so can cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components!
2.2.1Placement direction
When installing the motherboard, make sure that you place it into the chassis in the correct orientation. The edge with external ports goes to the rear part of the chassis as indicated in the image below.
2.2.2Screw holes
Place six (6) screws into the holes indicated by circles to secure the motherboard to the chassis.
Do not overtighten the screws! Doing so can damage the motherboard.
Place this side towards the rear of the chassis

2.2.3Support kits for the motherboard
For additional protection from motherboard breakage due to the weight of the CPU heatsinks, your motherboard package comes with CEK springs that you can use as weight support. Install the CEK springs before installing the motherboard.
If your chassis is SSI EEB 3.61 compliant, we recommend that you use the CEK springs; otherwise, use the support plates kit.
Each CEK spring has four hooks to match the designated holes around the CPU area.
Hook
To install the CEK spring:
1.Locate the CPU heatsink holes on the motherboard.
Socket for CPU2
Socket for CPU1
Heatsink hole
2.Position the CEK spring underneath the motherboard, then match the CEK spring hooks to the CPU1 heatsink holes.
ASUS DSBV-D |
2- |
3.Press the upper spring hooks inward, then insert to the upper CPU heatsink holes until they snap in place.
4.Press the lower spring clips inward, then insert to the lower CPU heatsink holes until they snap in place.
5.If you installed a second CPU, repeat steps 2 to 4 to install the CEK spring to the CPU2 heatsink holes.
The CEK springs appear as shown when installed.

6.Before installing the motherboard into the chassis, locate the standoffs
that should match the eight (8) CEK spring screw holes.
Standoffs for CPU1
Standoffs for CPU2
7.Install the motherboard with the external I/O ports toward the chassis rear panel. The CPU sockets should be right on top of their respective standoffs.
Socket for CPU2
Socket for CPU1
Make sure that the standoffs perfectly match the CEK spring screw holes; otherwise, you can not install the CPU heatsinks properly.
8.Secure the motherboard with six (6) screws. Refer to section “2.2.2 Screw holes” for illustration.

2.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA771 socket designed for the
Intel® Xeon® Dual Core processor.
•Your boxed Intel® Xeon® LGA771 processor package should
come with installation instructions for the CPU and heatsink. If the instructions in this section do not match the CPU documentation, follow the latter.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, make sure that the PnP cap is on the socket and the socket contacts are not bent. Contact your retailer
immediately if the PnP cap is missing, or if you see any damage to the PnP cap/socket contacts/motherboard components. ASUS will shoulder the cost of repair only if the damage is shipment/transit-related.
•Keep the cap after installing the motherboard. ASUS will process Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) requests only if the motherboard comes with the cap on the LGA771 socket.
•The product warranty does not cover damage to the socket contacts resulting from incorrect CPU installation/removal, or misplacement/loss/ incorrect removal of the PnP cap.
2.3.1Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
