Safety Notice
G
ENERAL 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 w i th 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 neckties and
unbuttoned shirtsleeves. They c an 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 P
RECAUTIONS
Electrostatic discharge (E SD) is gener ated by two objects with different electrical charges
coming into contact with each other. An electrica l discharge is created to neutralize this
difference, which can damage electronic components and printed circuit boards. The
following measures are generall y sufficient to neutralize this differen ce before contact is
made to protect your equipment from ESD:
Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
Keep all compone nts a nd printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic ba gs 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.
IWILL DN800-SATA/-L Series 9
When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins.
Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use.
For g rounding purposes, m a ke sure your c omputer 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.

Installing Expansion Cards
DN800-SATA/DN800-L has the PCI-Express and PCI slots that can be used fo r any
expansion cards, such as L AN, SCSI, or Riser cards. DN800-SAT A /DN 800-L provides
two PCI-Express slots (one with x16 bandw idth; another with x8 bandwidth) for the
high-end expansion card choices. Please be aware of the difference between the
PCI-Express and PCI or AGP slots. Before y ou install any expansion cards, ple a se read
carefully the instruction provided by the card manufacturers.
The procedures of installation method
1. Insert the PCI card into the correc t slo t on the Mainboard, pushing down with your
thumbs evenly on both sides of the card.
2. Secure the card on the slot with the screw you removed above.
3. 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.
Important:
You can follow the below chart to plug your PCI-Expre ss Expa nsion Card.

Poweri n g 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:
- Monitor
- System power
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 aft er the s ystem’s LED if it co mplies with “Green” st andards 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.

Chapter 4 BIOS Setup
IWILL DN800-SATA/-L Series 47
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, vide o disp lays, etc. in the CMOS. When t he computer is turned off, a
back-up battery provides power to the BIOS flash chip, enabling it to retain system
parameters. Each time the comput er is powered-on the computer is configured with the
values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control at boot-up.
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 devic e s suc h as disk drives and serial and parallel ports.
S
TARTING THE BIOS SETUP
The AMIBIOS is immediately activated ev ery time you power on the system. The BIOS
reads the system information contai ned in the CMOS and b egins 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.
1. Power on the System.
Note: Normally, the only visible POST (Powe r On S elf 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 th e BIOS Setup Utility, you can access the oth er setup screens,
such as the Security and Power menus.

IMPORTANT
The BIOS does NOT automaticall y save values that you have modified. If you do no t
save your values before you exit the BIOS Setup Utility, all your changes will be lost.
If after making and saving system chan ges 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 t he
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 reliabi li t y. Even a sl ight chan ge to the chi pset setup ma y cause potent ial
and unpredictable failure to the system.

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, and system size. In addition, system time and date is
adjustable using + / - key or number keys.
Important: Due to the different BIOS versions, this BIOS screen will possibly be not
exactly the same with what you see while you are setting up DN800-SATA/-L BIOS.
Please read the right descri ption column carefully on your BIOS screen. For any furth er
setup questions, please contact with our Technology Support staff.
