This chapter lists the hardware setup procedures that you have to perform when installing system components. It includes description of the jumpers and connectors on the motherboard.
2.1Before you proceed
Take note of the following precautions before you install any motherboard component 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.

2.3Central Processing Unit (CPU)
The motherboard comes with a surface mount LGA 3647 socket designed for the Intel®
Xeon® Processor Scalable Family Series.
•Upon purchase of the motherboard, ensure 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 LGA
3647 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.
2.Remove the PnP caps from the CPU sockets.

4.Align the CPU and CPU Carrier in the correct orientation, and then place the heatsinks on top of the CPU sockets.
The CPU and CPU Carrier fits in only one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU and CPU Carrier into the socket to prevent damaging the CPU pins on the socket.
5.Twist each of the four screws with a screwdriver just enough to attach the heatsink to the motherboard. When the four screws are attached, tighten them one by one in a diagonal sequence to completely secure the heatsink.
The heatsink screws are T30 models. A torque value of 12 inch-lbf is recommended.

2.4.3Installing a DIMM on a single clip DIMM socket
Ensure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
1. |
Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the DIMM notch |
|
|
retaining clip outward. |
|
2. |
Align a DIMM on the socket such that |
|
|
the notch on the DIMM matches the |
|
|
DIMM slot key on the socket. |
|
|
DIMM slot key |
Unlocked retaining clip |
|
A DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into |
|
|
a socket in the wrong direction to avoid damaging the DIMM. |
|
3. |
Hold the DIMM by both of its ends |
|
|
then insert the DIMM vertically into the |
|
|
socket. Apply force to both ends of the |
|
|
DIMM simultaneously until the retaining |
|
|
clip snaps back into place and the |
|
|
DIMM cannot be pushed in any further |
|
|
to ensure proper sitting of the DIMM. |
|
|
|
Locked Retaining Clip |
Always insert the DIMM into the socket vertically to prevent DIMM notch damage.
2.4.4Removing a DIMM from a single clip DIMM socket
1.Press the retaining clip outward to unlock the DIMM.
2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force.

2.5Expansion slots
In the future, you may need to install expansion cards. The following subsections describe the slots and the expansion cards that they support.
Ensure to unplug the power cord before adding or removing expansion cards. Failure to do so may cause you physical injury and damage motherboard components.
2.5.1Installing an expansion card
To install an expansion card:
1.Before installing the expansion card, read the documentation that came with it and make the necessary hardware settings for the card.
2.Remove the system unit cover (if your motherboard is already installed in a chassis).
3.Remove the bracket opposite the slot that you intend to use. Keep the screw for later use.
4.Align the card connector with the slot and press firmly until the card is completely seated on the slot.
5.Secure the card to the chassis with the screw you removed earlier.
6.Replace the system cover.
2.5.2Configuring an expansion card
After installing the expansion card, configure it by adjusting the software settings.
1.Turn on the system and change the necessary BIOS settings, if any. See Chapter 4 for information on BIOS setup.
2.Assign an IRQ to the card.
Refer to the table Standard Interrupt assignments in section Interrupt assignments for more information.
3.Install the software drivers for the expansion card.
When using PCI cards on shared slots, ensure that the drivers support “Share IRQ” or that the cards do not need IRQ assignments. Otherwise, conflicts may arise between the two PCI groups, making the system unstable and the card inoperable.
