1.1 Introduction

Figure 1-1: PEMUX-XEW1
The PEMUX-XEW1 is a full-size CPU card that can provide up to 56-lane PCIe signal to the backplane. It accepts a Socket LGA2066 Intel 288-pin 2666MHz dual-channel ECC DDR4 RDIMM/LRDIMM modules up to 256 GB.
The PEMUX-XEW1 provides one 10GbE interface through the Aquantia AQC107 controller (with NCSI support) and one 1GbE through the Intel® I210AT PCIe controller. The integrated Intel® C422 chipset supports eight SATA 6Gb/s drives with RAID function.
Four USB 3.1 Gen 1 and two one USB 2.0 on the rear panel, two USB 3.1 Gen 1 by an internal box header, two RS-232, one USB DOM pin header and one M.2 M-key slot provide flexible expansion options. High Definition Audio (HDA) support ensures HDA devices can be easily implemented on the PEMUX-XEW1.

2.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING!
Static electricity can destroy certain elect ronics. Make sur e to follow the ESD precautions to prevent damage to the product, and injury to the user.
Make sure to adhere to the following guidelines:
Wear an anti-static wristband: Wearing an anti-static wristband can prevent
electrostatic discharge.
Self-grounding: Touch a grounded conductor every few minutes to discha rge
any excess static buildup.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring any circuit board, place it on an
anti-static mat.
Only handle the edges of the PCB: Don't touch the surface of the
motherboard. Hold the motherboard by the edges when handling.

2.2 Unpacking Precautions

When the PEMUX-XEW1 is unpacked, please do the following:
Follow the anti-static guidelines above.  Make sure the packing box is facing upwards when opening.  Make sure all the packing list items are present .

Failure to take ESD precautions during the installation of the

4.1 Anti-static Precautions

WARNING:
PEMUX-XEW1 may result in permanent damage to the PEMUX-XEW1 and severe injury to the user.
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause serious damage to electronic components, including the PEMUX-XEW1. Dry climates are especially susceptible to ESD. It is therefore critical that whenever the PEMUX-XEW1 or any other electrical component is handled, the following anti-static precauti ons are strictly adhered to.
Wear an anti-static wristband: - Wearing a simple anti-static wristband can
help to prevent ESD from damaging the board.
Self-grounding:- Before handling the board touch any grounded conducting
material. During the time the board is handled, f requently touch any conducting materials that are connected to the ground.
Use an anti-static pad: When configuring the PEMUX-XEW1, place it on an
anti-static pad. This reduces the possibility of ESD damaging the PEMUX-XEW1.
Only handle the edges of the PCB:-: When handling t he PCB, h old t he P CB
by the edges.

4.2 Installation Considerations

NOTE:
The following installation notices and installation c onsiderations should be read and understood before installation. All instal l ation notices must be strictly adhered to. Failing to adhere to these precautions may lead to severe damage and injury to the person performing the installation.
Page 52
PEMUX-XEW1
Page 38
The installation instructions described in this manual should be
WARNING:
carefully followed in order to prevent damage to the components and injury to the user.
Before and during the installation please DO the following:
Read the user manual:
o The user manual provides a complete description of the PEMUX-XEW1
installation instructions and configuration opt i ons.
Wear an electrostatic discharge cuff (ESD):
o Electronic components are easily damaged by ESD. Wearing a n ESD cuff
removes ESD from the body and helps prevent ESD damage.
Place the PEMUX-XEW1 on an anti-static pad:
o When installing or configuring the motherboa rd, pl ace it on an anti-static
pad. This helps to prevent potential ESD damage.
Turn all power to t he PEMUX-XEW1 off:
o When working with the PEMUX-XEW1, make sure that it is disconnected
from all power supplies and that no elect ricity is b eing f ed into the sy stem.
Before and during the installation of the PEMUX-XEW1, DO NOT:
Remove any of the stickers on the PCB board. These stickers a re requir ed for
warranty validation.
Use the product before verifying all the cables and power connectors are
properly connected.
Allow screws to come in contact with the PCB circuit, connector pins, or its
components.

4.3 Socket LGA2066 CPU Installation

WARNING:
CPUs are expensive and sensitive components. When inst please be careful not to damage it in anyway. Make sure the CPU is installed properly and ensure the correct cooling kit is properly installed.
To install the CPU, follow the steps below.
Step 1: Unlatch the hinge lever (indicated with an unlocked padlock symbol) by pressing
the lever down and slightly inward to clear the retention tab. It is important NOT to open this lever passed the resistant point at approximately 35 degree; otherwise, the socket can be damaged.
Step 2: Unlatch the load lever (indicated with a locked padlock symbol) by pressing the
lever down and slightly inward to clear the retention tab. Fully ope n the load lever to release the top metal load plate.
Step 3: Press the hinge lever down a little to lift the load plate.
Step 4: Once the load plate is raised, carefully grip the front and open it fully to expose
the LGA2066 socket.
Page 54
PEMUX-XEW1
Page 40
WARNING:
Never touch the socket contacts any time when the contacts are exposed as it could cause damage.
DO NOT touch the pins at the bottom of the CPU. W hen handling th e CPU, only hold it on the sides.
Step 5: Inspect the CPU socket. Make sure there are no bent pins and make sure the
socket contacts are free of foreign material. I f any debris is foun d, rem ove i t wit h compressed air .
Step 6: Orientate the CPU properly. The contact array should be facing the CPU socket.
Step 7: Correctly position the CPU. Match the Pi n 1 mark (little gold t riangle) on th e CPU
with the triangle stamped into the LGA2066 metal socket frame.
Step 8: Insert the CPU. Gently insert the CPU into the socket. If the CPU pins are
properly aligned, the CPU should slide into the CPU socket smoothly.
Step 9: Carefully close the load plate and latch the load lever by pushing it back to its
closed position. There wil l be some resistance, but will not require extreme pressure. At this point the black plastic protective cap should automatically pop of the load plate. Remove the protective cap.
Step 10: Close the hinge lever and push the end of the lever arm under the small tab to
lock it back into the closed position.Step 0:

To install the cooling kit, follow the instructions below.
Step 1: Place the cooling kit onto the socket LGA2066 CPU. Make sure the CPU fan
cable can be properly routed when the cooling kit i s installed.
Step 2: Mount the cooling kit. Gently place the cooling kit on top of the CPU. Make sure
the four threaded screws on the corners of the cooli ng kit properly pass through the holes in the CPU socket frame.
Step 3: Tighten the screws. Use a screwdriver to tighten the four screws. In a diagonal
pattern, tighten each screw a few turns then move to the next one, until they are all secured. Do not overtighten the screws.
