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. Operat-
ing 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 discon-nect the cables
attached to the system before servicing it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment damage can
result.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) and ESD protection: ESD can damage drives, boards, and
other parts. We recommend that you perform all procedures in this chapter only at an ESD work-
station. If one is not available, provide some ESD protection by wearing an antistatic wrist strap
attached to chassis ground (any unpainted metal surface on the server) when handling parts.
ESD and handling boards: Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensi-tive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Hold boards only by their edges. 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.
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 n-gertips or
with a pair of ne needle nosed pliers. If the jumpers do not have such a tab, take care when us-
ing 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 dam-age the contacts inside the jumper,
causing intermittent problems with the function con-trolled 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.

3-4 Installing the Memory
3-4-1 Six Channel Memory Conguration
This motherboard provides 16 DDR4 memory sockets and supports Six 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.
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.
•
