Preface

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

mation.

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 t local market-

requirements and enhance product competitiveness, your regional ofce MAY have decided

toextend the functionality of a machine (e.g. add-on card, modem, or extra memory capabil-

ity).These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In

suchcases, please contact your regional ofces 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 num-

ber change is made,it will not be noted in the printed Service Guide. For GIGABYTE-AU-

THORIZED SERVICEPROVIDERS, your GIGABYTE ofce 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 ofce 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 rst 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 certied 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 les before performing any hardwareconguration.

• 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 specications. It is not recommended that the system bus frequency be set beyond hardware specications 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.

direction. If you are unable to insert the memory, switch the direction.

2-5-1 Four Channel Memory Conguration

This motherboard provides 24 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/DIMM_P0_A2 (For pimary CPU); DIMM_P1_E0/DIMM_P1_E1/DIMM_P1_E2 (For secondary CPU) Channel 2: DIMM_P0_B0/DIMM_P0_B1/DIMM_P0_B2 (For pimary CPU); DIMM_P1_F0/DIMM_P1_F1/DIMM_P1_F (For secondary CPU) Channel 3: DIMM_P0_C0/DIMM_P0_C1/DIMM_P0_C2 (For pimary CPU); DIMM_P1_G0/DIMM_P1_G1/DIMM_P1_G2 (For secondary CPU) Channel 4: DIMM_P0_D0/DIMM_P0_D1/DIMM_P0_D2 (For pimary CPU); DIMM_P1_H0/DIMM_P1_H1/DIMM_P1_H2 (For secondary CPU)
