1.4 Special features
1.4.1 Product 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 efcient 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.
1-2 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-to-point 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 specications. 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 specication 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 exible 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 specication,
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 modication of existing or future applications.
Intel® IOAT is a system-wide solution that increases CPU efciency and delivers
data to/from applications faster than current server platforms.

1.4.2 Innovative ASUS features
CrashFree BIOS 2
This feature allows you to restore the original BIOS data from the support CD in
case when the BIOS codes and data are corrupted. This protection eliminates the
need to buy a replacement ROM chip. See page 4-3 for details.
ASUS Smart Fan technology
The ASUS Smart Fan technology smartly adjusts the fan speeds according to the
system loading to ensure quiet, cool, and efcient operation.
See page 4-31 for details.
ASUS MemCool FB-DIMM Fan Kit (optional)
With this optional fan kit, the platform gets optimal performance and the best
possible FB-DIMM thermal environment.

Before you install the motherboard, study the conguration of your chassis to
ensure that the motherboard ts 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!
2.2.1 Placement 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.
2.2.2 Screw 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

2.2.3 Support 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.

2. Position the CEK spring underneath
the motherboard, then match the
CEK spring hooks to the CPU1
heatsink holes.

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.

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.

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.

2.3 Central Processing Unit (CPU)
DSBV-D
DSBV-D CPU LGA771
CPU1
CPU2
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.
2.3.1 Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1. Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
ASUS DSBV-D 2-9
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you
and the load lever is on your left.
2. Press the load lever with your thumb (A), then move it to the left (B) until it is
released from the retention tab.

To prevent damage to the socket pins, do not remove the PnP cap unless you
are installing a CPU.
3. Lift the load lever in the direction of
the arrow to a 135º angle.
4. Lift the load plate with your
thumb and forenger to a 100º
angle (A), then push the PnP
cap from the load plate window
to remove (B).

5. Position the CPU over
the socket, making sure
that the gold triangle
is on the bottom-left
corner of the socket.
The socket alignment
key should t into the
