2.1Chassis cover
2.1.1Removing the side cover
•Ensure that you unplug the power cord before removing the side cover.
•Take extra care when removing the side cover. Keep your fingers from components inside the chassis that can cause injury, such as the CPU fan, rear fan, and other sharp-edged parts.
To reinstall the side cover:
1.Remove the two screws that secure the side cover.
2.Press the blue latch button and slide the side cover for about half an inch toward the rear until it is disengaged from the chasssis.
3.Carefully lift the side cover and set it aside.

2.2Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA771 socket designed for the Intel® Xeon® Dual/Quad 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
MerchandiseAuthorization (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.
•If you install only one CPU, install the CPU to the CPU2 socket only. The system will not boot and the CPU warning LED will light up if a single CPU is installed on the CPU1 socket.
2.2.1Installing the CPU
To install a CPU:
1.Locate the CPU socket on the motherboard.
DSAN-DX
CPU1
CPU2
DSAN-DX/TS500-E5 CPU LGA771
Before installing the CPU, make sure that the socket box is facing towards you and the load lever is on your left.

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 forefinger 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 fit into the CPU notch.

2.2.2Installing the CPU heatsink and fan
To install the CPU heatsink and fan:
1.Place the CPU heatsink and fan on top of the installed CPU, making sure that the four screws match the holes on the support plate.
2.Twist each of the four screws with a Philips (cross) screwdriver just enough to attach the CPU heatsink and fan to the motherboard. When the four screws are attached, tighten them one by one to completely secure the CPU heatsink and fan.
3.Connect the CPU heatsink and fan cable to the connector on the motherboard.
Do not forget to connect the CPU heatsink and fan
connector! Hardware monitoring errors can occur if you fail to plug this connector.

2.3System memory
2.3.1Overview
The motherboard comes with six (6) Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline
Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets.
ADDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM.
The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets:`

2.3.2Memory configurations
You may install 512 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB registered ECC DIMMs into the
DIMM sockets.
•For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the Qualified Vendors List on theASUS web site.
•This motherboard does not support memory modules made up of 128 Mb chips x16 memory modules.
•If you are installing only one memory module, install the module into the blue socket labeled DIMM_A1 or DIMM_B1. Installing into any other socket will not work.

• DIMMs in pair means two DIMMs with the same configuration.
• For better performance, same configuration DIMMs should be installed on the same slot number for each channel. For example, you may install the same type of DIMMs in DIMM_B1, and DIMM_A1.

2.3.3Memory mirroring and sparing technology
The Intel® 5100MCH chipset supports the memory sparing technology. Refer to the below section:
Memory Sparing
At configuration time, a DIMM rank is set aside to replace a defective DIMM rank. When the error rate for a failing DIMM rank reaches a pre-determined threshold, the memory sparing function will issue an interrupt and initiate a spare copy. At the completion of the copy, the failing DIMM rank is disabled and the “spared” DIMM rank will be used in its place. Refer to section 5.4.3 Chipset and configure the options of
Channel Rank Sparing or Channel 1 Rank Sparing to enable the memory sparing functions. The default BIOS setting is disabled.
• Each channel contains its own sparing engine and can be enabled or disabled separately.
•This motherboard does not support rank sparing across channels.
•The DIMM rank with the largest size will be assigned as spare rank. Data can only be copied from a smaller sized rank to a larger sized one.
•A DIMM can contain only one or two ranks. To support sparing function, a DIMM channel should contain at least two ranks.
•When sparing function is enabled, the usable memory size will reduce the size of the spare ranks.
The following tables show memory configurations with Memory Sparing function in ChannelA/B.
