Server Warnings and Cautions
Before installing a server, be sure that you understand the following warnings and cautions.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the equipment:
• Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety
feature.
• Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at
all times.
• Unplug the power cord from the power supply to disconnect power to the equipment.
• Do not route the power cord where it can be walked on or pinched by items placed
against it. Pay particular attention to the plug, electrical outlet, and the point where the
cord extends from the server.
WARNING!
To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal
system components to cool before touching them.
WARNING!
This server is equipped with high speed fans. Keep away from hazardous moving fan
blades during servicing.
CAUTION!
• Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airow and improper cooling that
can lead to thermal damage.
• Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced.
• Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
• Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)
CAUTION!
ESD CAN DAMAGE DRIVES, BOARDS, AND OTHER PARTS. WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU
PERFORM ALL PROCEDURES AT AN ESD WORKSTATION. IF ONE IS NOT AVAILABLE,
PROVIDE SOME ESD PROTECTION BY WEARING AN ANTI-STATIC WRIST STRAP
ATTACHED TO CHASSIS GROUND -- ANY UNPAINTED METAL SURFACE -- ON YOUR
SERVER WHEN HANDLING PARTS.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD. Hold boards only by their
edges without any component and pin touching. After removing a board from its protective wrapper
or from the system, place the board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a
conductive foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any surface.
System power on/off: To remove power from system, you must remove the system from rack.
Make sure the system is removed from the rack before opening the chassis, adding, or removing
any non hot-plug components.
Hazardous conditions, devices and cables: Hazardous electrical conditions may be present
on power, telephone, and communication cables. Turn off the system and disconnect the cables
attached to the system before servicing it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can result.
Installing or removing jumpers: A jumper is a small plastic encased conductor that slips over two
jumper pins. Some jumpers have a small tab on top that can be gripped with ngertips or with a pair
of ne needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when using needle nosed
pliers to remove or install a jumper; grip the narrow sides of the jumper with the pliers, never the
wide sides. Gripping the wide sides can damage the contacts inside the jumper, causing intermittent
problems with the function controlled by that jumper. Take care to grip with, but not squeeze, the
pliers or other tool used to remove a jumper, or the pins on the board may bend or break.
CAUTION!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced incorrectly or with an incorrect type. Replace the battery only
with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries
according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

4-3 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.
Four Channel Memory Conguration
This motherboard supports 6 Channel Technology. After the memory is installed, the BIOS will automatically
detect the specications and capacity of the memory.
The twelve DDR4 memory sockets are divided into 6 channels and each channel has two memory sockets
as following:
Channel 1: P1-DIMM-A1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-G1 (For CPU 2) Channel 2: P1-DIMM-B1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-H1 (For CPU 2) Channel 3: P1-DIMM-C1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-J1 (For CPU 2) Channel 4: P1-DIMM-D1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-K1 (For CPU 2) Channel 5: P1-DIMM-E1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-L1 (For CPU 2) Channel 4: P1-DIMM-F1 (For CPU 1)/P2-DIMM-M1 (For CPU 2)
Due to CPU limitations, read the following guidelines before installing the memory in 6 Channel mode.
1. 6 Channel mode cannot be enabled if only one memory module is installed.
2. When enabling 6 Channel mode with two memory modules, it is recommended that memory of the
same capacity, brand, speed, and chips be used.

4-4 Installing the PCI Express Card
• Voltages can be present within the server whenever an AC power source is connected. This voltage
is present even when the main power switch is in the off position. Ensure that the system is powereddown and all power sources have been disconnected from the server prior to installing a PCI card.
• Failure to observe these warnings could result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
• The PCI riser assembly does not include a riser card or any cabling as standard. To install a PCI
card, a riser card must be installed.
Follow these instructions to install a PCI express card:
1. Remove the screws and then loosen the latch on the graphics card holder to remove the graphics card
holder. (Refer to numbers 1~4 below)
2. Pull the latch of the case upwards and remove the screws; and then remove the metal slot cover of the
expansion slot. (Refer to numbers 5~7 below)
