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.

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.

8

 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.

3-4 Install Memory

The system main board uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). Two pair’s banks are available; each bank

supports one CPU with Hyper Transport Technology. The memory DIMMs accommodates PC2100/2700

(DDR266/DDR333) and Double Data Rate Memory (DDR) memory modules in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, 2GB,

4GB combinations. Total memory size for one main board is between 128MB and 64GB.

IMPORTANT

The system mainboard has strict memory type and timing requirements. Before you purchase DDR (Double Data

Rate) memory for using in the system mainboard, you should contact your local reseller for a recommend list of

system memory that has been validated on this system.

IMPORTANT

To take advantage of the 128-bit interface, you must install DIMMs in pairs of two (2). DIMM0 and DIMM1 are

paired, and DIMM2 and DIMM3 are paired; DIMM4 and 5 are paired, and DIMM6 and 7 are paired. If you only install

two DIMMS into a Memory bank, it is recommended that you install them in slots DIMM0 and DIMM1 to get the full

bandwidth. It’s not necessary to install full memory onto both CPU0 and CPU1 memory banks. You could choose to

install onto either CPU0 memory bank or CPU1 memory bank when there are two processors on board.

3-4.1 Memory Installation Procedures

1. Locate the DIMM modules

2. Make sure the DIMM’s pins are facing down, and check that the pin arrangement on the memory module

resembles the one pictured below.

34

IMPORTANT

Always populate H0 DIMM socket before installing memory modules in the H1 DIMM sockets.

3. Insert the module into the DIMM socket and press down evenly on both ends firmly until the DIMM module is

securely in place. (The tabs of the DIMM socket will close-up to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM is
properly installed into the socket.)

35

3-5 EPS Power Supply

These 24-pin connectors connect the server board to the EPS power supply. Find the proper orientation and push

down firmly to make sure that the pins are aligned. The 8-pin connector provides a dedicated power supply for the

CPUs.

IMPORTANT

IWILL® always recommends our customers use EPS12V Power supplies. For any power damaged, please contact

your retailer or IWILL

technicians.

3-6 CPU/ System Fan Connectors

There are eight 3-pin fan connectors in the Mainboard. Two fans are used for CPU1 and CPU0; six fans are for

system and back. These connectors support cooling fans of 500mA (6W) or less. All fan drive current minimum are

must over 1.5V. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different. Connect the fan’s plug to

the Mainboard with respect to the polarity of the fan connector.

3-7 Install Expansion Cards

Warning

Please power off your power supply completely when adding removing any expansion card or other system

components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both your motherboard and expansion card.

3-7.1 Expansion Card Installation Procedure

Read the documentation for your expansion card and make any necessary hardware or software setting changes

such any jumper configuration.

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

2. Carefully align the card's connectors and press with the riser card firmly.

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

3-7.2 Assigning IRQs for PCI Expansion Cards

An IRQ number is automatically assigned to PCI expansion cards. In the PCI bus design, the BIOS automatically

assigns an IRQ to a PCI slot that contains a card requiring an IRQ. To install a PCI card, you need to set the INT

(interrupt) assignment. Since all the PCI slots on this motherboard use an INTA #, set the jumpers on your PCI cards

to INTA.

38

3-7.3 PCI-Express Riser Card

You may also choose IWILL proprietary PCI-Express 1U riser card. This Riser Card can make you to plug your

3-8 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”). After double-checking all jumper

settings and connections, close the system chassis cover.

2. 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.

3. Turn on your devices in the following order:

 Monitor

 System power

4. For power supplies, you need to switch On the power supply, then press the Power switch on the front of

the chassis.

5. 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.

6. 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.

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

information.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup

This chapter discusses the AMI BIOS Setup program built into the ROM BIOS. The Setup

program allows users modifying the basic system configurations according to their

requirements. This special information is then stored in battery-backed RAM so that it retains

the Setup information when the power is turned off.

The AMI BIOS 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 ports.

The AMI BIOS has been customized by adding important, but non-standard, features such as

password protection as well as special support for detailed fine-tuning of the chipset controlling

the entire system.

The rest of this chapter is intended to guide you through the process of configuring your system

using Setup.

BIOS Setup

41

4-1 Starting BIOS Setup

The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you power on the computer every time. The BIOS reads the system

information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. After

finishing configuring the whole system, then BIOS will continue to seek an operating system on one of the disks,

launch then turn control over to the operating system.

While the AMI BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in the way:

By pressing the <DEL> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the

POST (Power On Self-Test).

42

4-2 Updating BIOS Setup

z Creating a bootable floppy disk

A、 DOS environment

Insert a 1.44 MB floppy disk into the drive.

At the DOS prompt, type:

format A:/S then press <Enter>.

B、 Microsoft® Windows® environment

Insert a 1.44 MB floppy disk into the floppy disk drive.

From your Windows desktop, click on Start, then select My Computer.

Select the 3 1/2 Floppy Drive icon.

Click File from the menu, and then select Format. A Format 3 1/2 Floppy Disk window appears.

If you are using Windows™, select “Create an MS-DOS startup disk” from the format options field, then click

Start.

z Move the latest BIOS file to the bootable floppy disk.

z Using “NVFLASH.EXE” to update the BIOS

Update the BIOS using the NVFLASH.EXE utility in DOS environment.

1. Visit the IWILL website ( http://www.iwill.net

the BIOS file to a bootable floppy disk.

2. At the DOS prompt, type the command line:

NVFLASH / <filename>

where “filename” means the latest (or original) BIOS file that you copied to the bootable floppy disk. The

screen displays the status of the update process.

) to download the latest BIOS file for your motherboard. Save

Important

The BIOS information on the screen is for reference only. What you see on your screen may not be exactly the same

as shown.

Warning

DO NOT shutdown or reset the system while updating the BIOS! Doing so may cause system boot failure!

43

3. When the BIOS update process is complete, the utility returns to the DOS prompt.

The AMI BIOS is immediately activated when you power on the computer every time. The BIOS reads the system

information contained in the CMOS and begins the process of checking out the system and configuring it. After

finishing configuring the whole system, then BIOS will continue to seek an operating system on one of the disks,

launch then turn control over to the operating system.

While the AMI BIOS is in control, the Setup program can be activated in the way:

By pressing the <DEL> key when the following message appears briefly at the bottom of the screen during the

POST (Power On Self-Test).

z Press <DEL> to enter SETUP

44

4-3 Using Setup

In general, you use the arrow keys to highlight items, press <Enter> to select, press <Esc> to quit. The following

table provides more details about how to navigate in the Setup program using the keyboard.

<F1> key again.

F10 Key Save and Exit

Home Go to top of screen

End Go to bottom of screen

Esc Exit

45

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 AMI BIOS 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 which 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.

46

4-4 Main Menu

This is the first screen that is displayed when you enter the BIOS Setup Utility. Each tab lined on the top of the

screen represents each different menu. The following picture shows the main menu. Main menu shows the

information of BIOS version, date and ID; processor type, speed and count; system size. In addition, system time

and date is adjustable using + / - key or number keys.
