mainboard or components on it, for example memory modules or processors.
Never use sharp objects (screwdrivers) for leverage.
Boards with electrostatic sensitive devices (ESD) are identifiable by the label shown.
When you handle boards fitted with ESDs, you must, under all circumstances,
observe the following:
● You must always discharge static build up (e.g. by touching a grounded object)
before working.
● The equipment and tools you use must be free of static charges.
● Remove the power plug from the mains supply before inserting or removing
boards containing ESDs.
● Always hold boards with ESDs by their edges.
● Never touch pins or conductors on boards fitted with ESDs.

Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Before you installing a system with this motherboard, make sure your major system parts meet the
following basic guidelines and requirements:
Central Processor Unit (CPU) Considerations
● Process Type and Package
D2568 supports Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series as well as Quad-Core Intel®
Xeon® Processors 5400 Series in FC-LGA6 package for LGA771 socket.
● Front Side Bus (FSB)
The processor host bus, or called Front Side Bus (FSB), auto-operates at 1333 MHz. Choose
Dual-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors 5200 Series or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors
5400 Series with 1333 MHz FSB for D2568.
● Single/Dual Processor System
D2568 board supports one or two Dual-Core or Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® Processors.
Single Processor System:
When only install a single processor on D2568, the processor must be installed in the CPU0
socket.
Dual Processor System:
D2568 supports dual processor configurations only in which both processors operate with the
same FSB frequency, core frequency, and have the same internal cache sizes. Mixing
processors operating at different FSB frequency, core frequency, or cache sizes may cause
system non-operation or damages on processors and/or the motherboard.
Memory Considerations
● Memory Type
D2568 supports up to eight 240-pin 1.8-Volt DDR2-667 ECC FB-DIMM modules.
● Memory Installation
D2568 is based on Intel®’s 5400 Seaburg chipset, which supports 144-bit wide quad memory
channels in memory interleaved scheme. System requires minimum one memory to boot up
the system.
For further information see "
Installing the Memory" chapter.
A26361-D2568-Z120-1-7619, edition 1 9

Choose Proper Parts for Your System
Power Supply Considerations
● Power connectors
D2568 is powered by a split plane PSU with six +12V-rails and 1000W continuous power. One rail is
for each processor, one for systemboard and three for peripherals (e.g. HHDs, add. 6-pin graphics
connector). There are three power connectors on this motherboard as listed below.

GND
+12 GND
10-pin additional baseboard power connector
By following SSI EEB v3.51 specifications, D2568 is designed with two separate voltage
regulator circuits to provide the power for both onboard processors in separate power rail.
Using a power supply with a combined CPU power plane from the CPU power connector is not
allowed and may cause the system to fail to power up or damage to the power supply.

Installing the Memory
Before attempting to install any memory, make sure that the memory you have is compatible with the
motherboard as well as the processor. The D2568 board supports up to eight 240-pin 1.8-Volt
DDR2-667 ECC FB-DIMM modules.
Here are a few key points to note before installing memory into your D2568:
● 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB, 4GB and 8GB ECC FB-DIMM memory modules are supported
● All installed memory will be automatically detected - no need to set any jumpers
● The D2568 supports up to 64 GB of memory
● Memory modules are organized in pairs. Both modules of a pair must be of same type and
density, otherwise the memory may not be detected correctly or system instability may be
caused.
● For debug mode, one FB-DIMM module can be used plugged into DIMM1 socket
Please refer to the following table memory configuration:

1 X
2 X X
4 X X X X
6 X X X X X X
8 X X X X X X X X
socket colour black white black white black white black white
All DIMMS must be the same type and size DIMM. It is also recommended that you
use all DIMMS from the same manufacturer for improved reliability.

Memory Installation Procedure
When installing memory modules, make sure the modules align properly with the memory socket.
There should be keys (small indents) on your memory modules that fit according to the keys in the
memory socket. DDR modules and sockets have only one key, which is slightly near the center of
the module/socket. The method of installing memory modules is detailed in the following diagrams.
Installing a memory module

► Push the holders on each side of the memory slot outwards.
► Insert the memory module into the location (1).
► At the same time flip the lateral holders upwards until the memory module snaps in place (2).

► Push the clips on the right and left of the memory slot outward (1).
► Pull the memory module out of the memory slot (2).
When installing memory, a module may require a considerable amount of force to seat
i
!
properly, although this is very rare. To avoid bending and damaging your motherboard,
place it on its anti-static bag and onto a flat surface, and then proceed with memory
installation.
You must unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.

Installing the processor
The processor socket ist covered with a protective cap to protect the spring contacts
!
► Remove the heat sink.
In a warranty case the mainboard can only be taken back by Fujitsu Siemens Computers
with the protective cap secured!
Never touch the underside of the processor. Even minor soiling such as grease from the
skin can impair the processor's operation or destroy the processor.
Place the processor in the socket with extreme care, as the spring contacts of the socket
are very delicate and must not be bent.

Mounting heat sink
i
Be sure to use heat conducting material between the processor and the heat sink. If a heat
conducting pad (rubber-like foil) is already applied to the heat sink, then use it. Otherwise you must
apply a very thin layer of heat conducting paste.
Heat conducting pads can only be used once. If you remove the heat sink, you must clean it and
apply new heat conducting paste before you remount it.
Use only the heat sink supplied with your system!

Installing Add-In Cards
Before installing add-in cards, please check if they are fully compatible with your motherboard.
PCI-E X16 (x16)
PCI-E X8 (x 8)
PCI-E X16 (x16)
PCI-X 133

PCI32
Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any addin cards (or anything else) into any slots if they won’t seat in place. It’s better to try another slot or
return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.
It’s a good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner, rather than directly

adjacent to each other. This allows air to more easily circulate within the chassis, providing
improved cooling for all installed devices.
You must unplug the power connector to the motherboard before performing system
hardware changes, to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.

Installing the Power Supply
There are three power connectors on this motherboard:
● 24-pin P1 baseboard power connector (according SSI 3.51 spec)
● 8-pin processor power connector (according SSI 3.51 spec)
● 10-pin additional baseboard power connector (5xGND, 5x+12V)
The used power supply is a split plane PSU with six +12V-rails and delivers 1000W continuous
power. One rail is for each processor, one for systemboard and three for peripherals (e.g. HHDs,
add. 6-pin graphics connector).
The power supply has:
● one 24-pin molex-type connector for the baseboard (P1)
● one 8-pin molex-type connector for the processor power (P17)
● one 10-pin molex-type additional baseboard power connector (P18) – two yellow wires and two
black wires (only for use with this workstation)
● four 6-pin connectors for graphic adapters (P12, P13, P15, P16)
● two 8-pin connectors for graphic adapters (P11, P14)
● several HDD-, floppy- and SATA power connectors
Two onboard switching voltage regulators that are sourced by separate +12V power rails provide
each CPU’s power. This +12V CPU power source is from the onboard 8-pin square connector. The
+12V power on the 24-pin baseboard power connector and on the 10-pin additional baseboard
power connector is for system board and separated from CPU +12V regulator power source.
Therefore, the CPU will not be powered if you do not connect the 8-pin square 12V power
connector.
You must unplug the power supply before plugging in the power cables to motherboard

Replacing lithium battery
In order to permanently save the system information, a lithium battery is installed to provide the
CMOS-memory with a current. A corresponding error message notifies the user when the charge is
too low or the battery is empty. The lithium battery must then be replaced.
Incorrect replacement of the lithium battery may lead to a risk of explosion!
!
The lithium battery holder exists in different designs that function in the same way.
The lithium battery may be replaced only with an identical battery or with a type
recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not throw lithium batteries into the household waste. They must be disposed of in
accordance with local regulations concerning special waste.
Make sure that you insert the battery the right way round. The plus pole must be on the
top!
