Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
2.1. Precautions
Please pay attention to the following precautions before setting up any hardware.
1. Always switch off the power supply and unplug the power cord from the wall
outlet before installing the board or changing any settings.
2. Ground yourself properly by wearing a static safety wrist strap before removing
the board from the antistatic bag.
3. Hold the board by its edges. Avoid touching any component on it.
4. Avoid touching module contacts and IC chips
5. Place the board on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag that came
with the board.

2.2. Installing the Workstation Board
Before installing the workstation board, exam your chassis to ensure this workstation
board fits into it. Your chassis should support Extend ATX form factor.
1. Face the side of the I/O ports toward the rear part of the chassis.
2. Locate the screw holes on the workstation board and the chassis base.
3. Place all the studs or spacers needed on the chassis base and have them tightened.
4. Line up all the screw holes on the board with those studs or spacers on the chassis.
5. Tightens all the screw holes.
ATTENTION: To prevent shorting the PCB circuit, please REMOVE the metal studs
or spacers if they are already secured on the chassis base and are without
mounting-holes on the workstation board to align with.

2.3. Install Xeon CPU and Heatsink
This workstation board provides you two Socket-604 sockets to install Intel Xeon
CPU. The CPU you bought should have a kit of heatsink and cooling fan bundled
together. If that’s not the case, buy one specially designed for Xeon Socket 604 CPU.
Please refer to the diagram shown below to install CPU and heatsink.
NOTE: This workstation board also supports the Xeon CPU of 603-pin package.
NOTE: The diagram shown here is for reference only. Your retention mechanism
may not be exactly the same as this type. Please follow the installation instruction of
the heatsink you bought.

2.4. System Memory
This workstation board provides six 184-pin Double Data Rate (DDR) Dual Inline
Memory Module (DIMM) slots for Registered ECC DIMM modules with memory
expansion size up to 12GB.
2.4.1. Memory Configuration Table
DIMM Registered ECC DIMM Module Total Memory
0 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB 128MB ~ 2GB
1 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB 128MB ~ 2GB
2 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB 128MB ~ 2GB

5 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB 128MB ~ 2GB
Total System Memory 256MB ~ 12GB
2.4.2. Installing and Removing Memory Modules
ATTENTION: Populate the DDR DIMMs in-order and in-pair (of the same type
and size) by starting from DIMM0~DIMM1, DIMM2~DIMM3, to DIMM4~DIMM5.
The System may hang or appear unstable if the DIMM ordering is not followed.
WI-2Pa
Hardware Setup 2-5
Power off the computer and unplug the
AC power cord before installing or
removing memory modules.
1. Locate the DIMM slot on the
workstation board.
2. Hold two edges of the DIMM
module carefully, keep away of
touching its connectors.
3. Align the notch key on the module with the rib on the slot.
4. Firmly press the module into the slots until the ejector tabs at both sides of the slot
automatically snaps into the mounting notch. Do not force the DIMM module in
with extra force as the DIMM module only fit in one direction.
5. To remove the DIMM modules, push the two ejector tabs on the slot outward
simultaneously, and then pull out the DIMM module.
ATTENTION: As the static electricity can damage the electronic components of the
computer or optional modules, make sure you are discharged of static electricity by
touching a grounded metal object briefly before starting these procedures.

2.5. Connectors, Headers, and Switches
All the connectors, headers and switches mentioned here are depending on your
system configuration. Some features you may (or may not) have to connect or to
configure depending on the peripherals you have connected.
WARNING: Always power off the computer and unplug the AC power cord before
adding or removing any peripheral or component. Failing to so may cause severe
damage to your workstation board and/or peripherals. Plug in the AC power cord only
after you have carefully checked everything.
2.5.1. ATXPWR1, ATX12V1: EPS12V Power Connectors
These two connectors connect to EPS12V power supply. This workstation board
requires an EPS12V power supplier with 460W capacity at least for Pentium 4 Xeon
CPU system.
NOTE: The auxiliary 12V power (ATX12V1) is necessary to support Intel Xeon
CPUs. Failing to provide such extra power will result in the system’s booting failure.

2.5.3. CCMOS1: CMOS Memory Clearing Header
This header uses a jumper cap to clear the CMOS memory. Short pin 2 and pin 3 only
when you want to clear the CMOS memory. The default setting is pin 1 and pin 2
shorted for normal operation.
ATTENTION: Turn the system power off first (including the +5V standby power)
before clearing the CMOS memory. Failing to do so may cause your system to work
abnormally or malfunction.

2.5.4. FPIO1: Front Panel Switches and Indicators Header
This header is used for connecting switches and LED indicators on the chassis front
panel.
Watch the power LED pin position and orientation. The mark “+” align to the pin in
the figure below stands for positive polarity for the LED connection.
• HD_LED: Connects to the HDD LED cable of chassis front panel.
• RST: Connects to the Reset Switch cable of chassis front panel.
• SPEAKER: Connects to the System Speaker cable of chassis.
• SUS_LED: Connects to the Suspend LED cable (if there is one) of chassis
front panel.
• PWR_ON: Connects to the Power Switch cable of chassis front panel.
• PWR_LED: Connects to the Power LED cable of chassis front panel.
• KEY_LOCK: Connects to the Keylock cable (if there is one) of chassis front
panel.

2.5.5. FDC1, IDE0/IDE1 Connectors:
The FDC1 connector connects up to two floppy drives with a 34-wire, 2-connector
floppy cable. Connect the single end at the longer length of ribbon cable to the FDC1
on the board, the two connectors on the other end to the floppy disk drives connector.
Generally you need only one floppy disk drive in your system.
NOTE: The red line on the ribbon cable must be aligned with pin-1 on both the FDC1
port and the floppy connector.
Each of the IDE port connects up to two
IDE drives at Ultra ATA/100 mode by one
40-pin, 80-conductor, and 3-connector Ultra
ATA/66 ribbon cables.
Connect the single end (blue connector) at
the longer length of ribbon cable to the IDE
port of this board, the other two ends (gray
and black connector) at the shorter length of
the ribbon cable to the connectors of your
hard drives.
NOTE: Make sure to configure the “Master” and “Slave” relation before connecting
two drives by one single ribbon cable. The red line on the ribbon cable must be
aligned with pin-1 on both the IDE port and the hard-drive connector.
