YOU MUST HAVE ENOUGH SYSTEM INTEGRATION KNOWLEDGE

BEFORE THE INSTALLATION

General Safety Precautions

Keep the area around the Server clean and free of clutter.

¡

Servers weigh a lot. When lifting the system, two people should

¡

lift slowly from opposite ends with their feet spread out to distrib­ute the weight. Always keep your back straight and lift with your
legs.
Place the chassis top cover and any system components that have

¡

been removed away from the system or on a table so that they won’t
accidentally be stepped on.
While working on the system, do not wear loose items such as neck-

¡

ties and unbuttoned shirtsleeves. They can come into contact with
electrical circuits or get pulled into a cooling fan.
Remove any jewelry or metal objects from your body, which are

¡

excellent metal conductors and can create short circuits and harm
you if they come into contact with printed circuit boards or areas
where power is present.

1-2

ESD Precautions

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with dif­ferent electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An elec­trical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can dam­age electronic components and printed circuit boards. The following
measures are generally sufficient to neutralize this difference before
contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD:

Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.

¡

Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their

¡

antistatic bags until ready for use.
Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from

¡

the antistatic bag.
Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your

¡

clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist
strap.
Handle a board by its edges only; do not touch its components,

¡

peripheral chips, memory modules or contacts.
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.

¡

Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags

¡

when not in use.
For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides

¡

excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the
mounting fasteners and the motherboard.
After accessing the inside of the system, close the system back up

¡

and secure it to the rack unit with the retention screws after ensur­ing that all connections have been made.

Getting Help

If a problem arises with your system during Installation or Operation,

you should first ask your dealer for help as they have most likely config­ured your system. They generally have the best grasp of your issues and
the fastest response for your symptoms. If your dealer is near your location,
it is recommended that you first bring your system to them to have it ser­viced instead of attempting to solve the problem yourself.

If those options don’t work for you, IWILL also provides some helpful

resources to help you.

EPS12V Power Connectors

There are two power connectors on the motherboard of the required
EPS 12V power supply. These are not standard ATX connectors. DJ800
needs a minimum 460-watt EPS 12V power supply that complies with
the Intel Xeon processor power supply design guidelines. Find the proper
orientation of the connectors and push down firmly to make sure that
the pins are aligned (the connector will only insert properly when prop­erly aligned). The 8-pin connector is a dedicated power connector to
supply power for the CPUs.

Primary IDE connectors

The two 40-pin IDE connectors (primary and secondary channels)
support 80-conductor IDE ribbon cables. Connect the single connector
end to the Mainboard. Then, connect the two connectors at the other
end to your IDE device(s). If you connect two hard disks to the same
cable, you must set the second drive as a Slave through its jumper
settings. Refer to the IDE device’s documentation for the specific jumper
settings. (Pin 20 is removed to prevent the connector from being in­serted in the wrong orientation when using ribbon cables with pin 20
plugged in). The BIOS supports Ultra DMA 33/66/100.

IMPORTANT

Ribbon cables should always be connected with the red stripe on the
Pin 1 side of the connector. IDE ribbon cables must be less than 46 cm
(18 inches) long, with the second drive connector no more than 15 cm
(6 inches) away from the first connector.

2-15

Floppy Disk Drive Connector

This 34-pin connector supports the standard floppy disk drive rib­bon cable. Connect the single connector end to the Mainboard. Then,
plug the other end of the ribbon into the floppy drive. Make sure you
align the Pin 1 on the connector with the Pin 1 alignments on the
Mainboard and the floppy drive.

Installing Expansion Cards

1. Remove the bracket plate on the slot you intend to use. Keep the
bracket for possible future use.

2. Insert the PCI card into the correct slot on the Mainboard, pushing
down with your thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.

3. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.

4. Assign IRQs for PCI expansion card: An IRQ number is automati­cally assigned to PCI expansion card. In the PCI bus design, the BIOS
automatically assigns an IRQ to a PCI slot that contains a card re­quiring an IRQ.

WARNING

Please completely power OFF your power supply when adding or
removing any expansion cards or other system components. Failure to
do so may cause severe damage to both your Mainboard and expansion
cards.

IMPORTANT

DJ800 provides a PCI-Express x16 slot for graphic use. It provides
the higher performance and greater bandwidth. DJ800 does not support
AGP slot, so please choose the graphic card with PCI-Express interface.

Powering on your System

Follow these instructions to power on the computer after you have

installed the Mainboard and all system devices.

1. Be sure that all switches are off (in some systems, Off is marked by
“O”).

2. After double-checking all jumper settings and connections, close the
system chassis cover.

3. Connect the power cord to the power cord connector located on the
power supply at the back of your system chassis and plug the power
cord into a power outlet that is equipped with a surge protector.

4. Turn on your devices in the following order:

For power supplies, you need to switch On the power supply, then
press the:

1. Power switch on the front of the chassis the first time you start up
the system.

2. The power LED on the front panel of the system case will light up.
For power supplies, the system LED will light up when the power
switch is pressed. The monitor LED may light up after the system’s
LED if it complies with “Green” standards or if it has a power standby
feature. The system will first run its “power-on” tests. While the
tests are running, additional messages will appear on the screen. If
you do not see anything on the screen within 30 seconds from the
time you turn on the power, the system may have failed a power-on
test. Re-check your jumper settings and connections. Contact your
retailer/dealer for assistance if everything else fails.

3. During power-on, hold down <F2> to enter BIOS setup. Follow the
instructions in BIOS for further setup information.

BIOS Setup

This chapter discusses the AMIBIOS Setup program built into the ROM
BIOS. The Setup program allows users to modify the basic system
configuration.

The BIOS is the Basic Input / Output System used in all IBM PC, XT,
AT, and PS/2 compatible computers. The AMIBIOS flash chip stores the
system parameters, such as type of disk drives, video displays, etc. in the
CMOS. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power
to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system parameters. Each time
the computer is powered-on the computer is configured with the values
stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot­up.

The AMIBIOS installed in your computer system’s ROM (Read Only
Memory) is a custom version of an industry standard BIOS. The BIOS
provides critical low-level support for standard devices such as disk drives
and serial and parallel ports.

Starting the BIOS Setup

The AMIBIOS is immediately activated every time you power on
the system. The BIOS reads the system information contained in the
CMOS and begins the process of checking the system and configuring
it. After configuring the system, the BIOS will follow the Boot Order to
seek out an operating system. The BIOS then turns control of the sys­tem over to the operating system.

The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may
be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility.

Note: Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine
is the memory test.

2. As the memory is being tested, you can access the BIOS Setup Util­ity by pressing the <F2> key when “Press < F2> to enter SETUP”
appears briefly at the bottom of the screen.

From the main menu of the BIOS Setup Utility, you can access the

other setup screens, such as the Security and Power menus.

IMPORTANT

The BIOS does NOT automatically save values that you have
modified. If you do not save your values before you exit the BIOS Setup
Utility, all your changes will be lost.

If after making and saving system changes with the BIOS Setup
Utility, you discover that your computer is no longer able to boot, the
AMIBIOS supports an override, which will reset your system to the
Failsafe defaults. If that fails, it is possible to manually clear the present
CMOS information through the “Clear CMOS Header” on the
motherboard (Refer to Jumper Settings for more information).

The best advice is to ONLY alter settings that you thoroughly
understand. The default settings have been carefully chosen by
AMIBIOS to provide the maximum system performance and reliability.
Even a slight change to the chipset setup may cause potential and un­predictable failure to the system.
