Preface

Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.

1.This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CON-

FIGURATION decided for GIGABYTE’s “global” product offering. To better fit local marketrequirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional office MAY have decided toextend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capability).These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In suchcases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide youwith further technical details.

2.Please note WHEN ORDERING SPARE PARTS, you should check the most up-to-date informationavailable on your regional web or channel. For whatever reason, if a part number change is made,it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For GIGABYTE-AU-

THORIZED SERVICEPROVIDERS, your GIGABYTE office may have a DIFFERENT part number code to thosegiven in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list provided by yourregional GIGABYTE office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.

Chapter 1 Hardware Installation

1-1 Installation Precautions

The motherboard/system contain numerous delicate electronic circuits and components which can become damaged as a result of electrostatic discharge (ESD). Prior to installation, carefully read the service guide and follow these procedures:

•Prior to installation, do not remove or break motherboard S/N (Serial Number) sticker or warranty sticker provided by your dealer. These stickers are required for warranty validation.

•Always remove the AC power by unplugging the power cord from the power outlet before installing or removing the motherboard or other hardware components.

•When connecting hardware components to the internal connectors on the motherboard, make sure they are connected tightly and securely.

•When handling the motherboard, avoid touching any metal leads or connectors.

•It is best to wear an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap when handling electronic components such as a motherboard, CPU or memory. If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, keep your hands dry and first touch a metal object to eliminate static electricity.

•Prior to installing the motherboard, please have it on top of an antistatic pad or within an electrostatic shielding container.

•Before unplugging the power supply cable from the motherboard, make sure the power supply has been turned off.

•Before turning on the power, make sure the power supply voltage has been set according to the local voltage standard.

•Before using the product, please verify that all cables and power connectors of your hardware components are connected.

•To prevent damage to the motherboard, do not allow screws to come in contact with the motherboard circuit or its components.

•Make sure there are no leftover screws or metal components placed on the motherboard or within the computer casing.

•Do not place the computer system on an uneven surface.

•Do not place the computer system in a high-temperature environment.

•Turning on the computer power during the installation process can lead to damage to system components as well as physical harm to the user.

•If you are uncertain about any installation steps or have a problem related to the use of the product, please consult a certified computer technician.

Chapter 2 System Hardware Installation

Pre-installation Instructions

Perform the steps below before you open the server or before you remove or replaceany component.

•Back up all important system and data files before performing any hardwareconfiguration.

•Turn off the system and all the peripherals connected to it.

•Locate the pin one of the CPU. The CPU cannot be inserted if oriented incorrectly. (Or you may locate the notches on both sides of the CPU and alignment keys on the CPU socket.)

•Apply an even and thin layer of thermal grease on the surface of the CPU.

•Do not turn on the computer if the CPU cooler is not installed, otherwise overheating and damage of the CPU may occur.

•Set the CPU host frequency in accordance with the CPU specifications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specifications since it does not meet the standard requirements for the peripherals. If you wish to set the frequency beyond the standard specifications, please do so according to your hardware specifications including the CPU, graphics card, memory, hard drive, etc.

2-5 Installing the Memory

Read the following guidelines before you begin to install the memory:

•Make sure that the motherboard supports the memory. It is recommended that memory of the same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

•Always turn off the computer and unplug the power cord from the power outlet before installing the memory to prevent hardware damage.

•Memory modules have a foolproof design. A memory module can be installed in only one direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

2-5-1 Four Channel Memory Configuration

This motherboard provides sixteen DDR4 memory sockets and supports Four Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically detect the specifications and capacity of the memory.

Enabling Four Channel memory mode will be four times of the original memory bandwidth.

The four DDR4 memory sockets are divided into four channels each channel has two memory sockets as following:

Channel 1: DIMM_P0_A0/DIMM_P0_A1 (For pimary CPU)/ DIMM_P1_E0/DIMM_P1_E1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0/DIMM_P0_B1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_F0/DIMM_P1_F1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0/DIMM_P0_C1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_G0/DIMM_P1_G1 (For secondary CPU)

Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0/DIMM_P0_D1 (For pimary CPU) DIMM_P1_H0/DIMM_P1_H1 (For secondary CPU)

DIMM P0 C0 DIMM P0 C1 DIMM P0 D0 DIMM P0 D1

DIMM P0 B1 DIMM P0 B0 DIMM P0 A1 DIMM P0 A0 DIMM P1 G0 DIMM P1 G1 DIMM P1 H0 DIMM P1 H1
