Chapter 2: Board Installation

You are now ready to install your motherboard. How to install our products right… the first time The first thing you should do is reading this user’s manual. It contains important

information that will make configuration and setup much easier. Here are some precautions you should take when installing your motherboard:

(1) Ground yourself properly before removing your motherboard from the antistatic

bag. Unplug the power from your computer power supply and then touch a safely grounded object to release static charge (i.e. power supply case). For the safest conditions, we recommend wearing a static safety wrist strap.

(2) Hold the motherboard by its edges and do not touch the bottom of the board, or

flex the board in any way.

(3) Avoid touching the motherboard components, IC chips, connectors, memory

modules, and leads.

(4) Place the motherboard on a grounded antistatic surface or on the antistatic bag

that the board was shipped in.

(5) Inspect the board for damage.

The following pages include details on how to install your motherboard into your chassis, as well as installing the processor, memory, disk drives and cables.

Caution!

1. To avoid damaging the motherboard and associated

components, do not use torque force greater than

7kgf/cm (6.09 lb/in) on each mounting screw for

motherboard installation.

2. Do not apply power to the board if it has been damaged.

2.4 - Installing the Processor

Your brand new WinFast WS1000 motherboard supports both Intel® “Sandy Bridge-EP and Ivy Bridge series” processors.

NOTE: Leadtek is not liable for damage as a result of operating an unsupported

configuration. Locate the CPU socket (LGA 2011) on the motherboard:

To install a CPU:

1. Press the load lever (A) hard with your thumb first, move it to the right. Then press the load lever(B) and move it to the right side until the load plate is released from the retention tab.

2. Lift the load plate in the direction of the arrow until it is fully opened.

3. Remove the PnP cap from the

CPU socket.

Page 28

4. Please refer to the image.

5. Position the CPU over the socket, ensuring that the gold triangle is on the bottom-right corner of the socket, and then fit the socket alignment keys into the CPU notches.

6. Close the load plate, ensuring that the front edge of the load plate slides under the retention lever.

7. Insert the load lever under the retention tab.

Page 29

Cautions: The CPU fits in only one correct orientation. Do not force the CPU

into the socket to prevent bending the connectors on the socket and damaging the CPU.

Page 30

2.5 - Installing the Heatsink

Heatsink Installation

Caution: After installing the processor, you should proceed to install the heat sink.

The CPU heat sink will ensure that the processor do not overheat and continue to operate at maximum performance for as long as you own them. The overheated processor is dangerous to the motherboard.

For the safest method of installation and information on choosing the appropriate heat sink, using heat sinks validated by Intel®. Please go to Intel’®s website at

www.Intel.com.

The following diagram illustrates how to install heat sink onto the CPU of WinFast WS1000.

1. If a protective film covers the thermal interface material (TIM) on the underside of the heatsink, remove the protective

film.

2. Each heatsink has four captive fasteners and should be tightened as shown

3. Attach fan power cable to server board as shown.

Page 31

2.6 - Thermal Interface Material

There are two types of thermal interface materials designed for use with the processors.

The most common material comes as a small pad attached to the heat sink at the time of purchase. There should be a protective cover over the material. Take care not to touch this material. Simply remove the protective cover and place the heat sink on the processor.

The second type of interface material is usually packaged separately. It is commonly referred to as ‘thermal compound’. Simply apply a thin layer on to the CPU lid (applying too much will actually reduce the cooling).

NOTE: Always check with the manufacturer of the heat sink & processor

to ensure the thermal Interface material is compatible with the processor and meets the manufacturer’s warranty requirements.

Page 32

2.7 - Installing the Memory Overview

The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 3（DDR3）Dual Inline Memory Modules （DIMM）sockets. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR3 DIMM socket.

• Sandy Bridge-EP/EX processor supports 4 DDR3 channels

• Unbuffered DDR3 and registered DDR3 DIMMs

• LR DIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) for buffered memory solutions demanding

higher capacity memory subsystems

• Memory DDR3 data transfer rates of 800, 1066, 1333, and 1600 MT/s

• All installed memory will automatically be detected and no jumpers or settings

need changing.

• All memory must be of the same type and density.

• Always populate the memory starting from DIMMA0 first.

2. Paired memory installation for Max performance.

3. Populate the same DIMM type in each channel, specifically

- Use the same DIMM size

- Use the same # of ranks per DIMM

4. Dual-rank DIMMs are recommended over single-rank DIMMs

5. Un-buffered DIMM can offer slightly better performance than registered DIMM if populating only a single DIMM per channel

6. We don't suggest other memory installation

clip

Unlocked retaining clip

2. Align the memory module with the socket，such that the DIMM NOTCH match

the KEY SLOT on the socket.

DIMM NOTCH

KEY SLOT

3. Hold the DIMM by both of its ends. Insert the module vertically into the socket.

Apply force to both ends of the DIMM simultaneously until the retaining clip pop up into place. And the DIMM cannot be pushed in any further to ensure proper sitting of the DIMM.

2.8 - Attaching Drive Cables

WinFast WS1000 is equipped with 6 Serial ATA (SATA) channels. Connections for the drives are very simple. There is no need to set Master/Slave jumpers on SATA drives. distributor.

Attaching Serial ATA Cables The following illustrates how to make a SATA Cable connection. If you are in need of

SATA/SAS cables or power adapters please contact your local sales representative.

2.9 - Installing Add-In Cards

Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the slots that may appear on your motherboard.

PCI-E Gen3 x 16 slot

PCI-E Gen3 x 8 slot

PCI-E Gen3 x 4 slot

Simply find the appropriate slot for your add-in card and insert the card firmly. Do not force any add-in cards into any slots if they do not seat in place. It is better to try another slot or return the faulty card rather than damaging both the motherboard and the add-in card.

TIP: It’s good practice to install add-in cards in a staggered manner rather than making them directly adjacent to each other. Doing so allows air to circulate within the chassis more easily, thus improving cooling for all installed devices.

NOTE: YOU MUST ALWAYS unplug the power connector to the motherboard

before performing system hardware changes to avoid damaging the board or expansion device.

Page 39

2.10 - Connecting External Devices

Your motherboard supports a number of different interfaces through connecting peripherals. See the following diagrams for the details.

NOTE: Peripheral devices can be plugged straight into any of these ports but

software may be required to complete the installation.

2.12 - Finishing Up

Congratulations on making it this far! You’re finished setting up the hardware aspects of your computer. Before closing up your chassis, make sure that all cables and wires are connected properly, especially power cables and most importantly jumpers. You may have difficulty powering on your system if the motherboard jumpers are not set correctly. In the rare circumstance that you have experienced difficulty, you can find help by asking your vendor for assistance. If they are not available for assistance, please find setup information and documentation online at our website or by calling your vendor’s support line.

Chapter 3: BIOS Setup

3.1 - About the BIOS

The BIOS is the basic input/output system, the firmware on the motherboard that enables your hardware to interface with your software. The BIOS determines what a computer can do without accessing programs from a disk. The BIOS contains all the code required to control the keyboard, display screen, disk drives, serial communications, and a number of miscellaneous functions. This chapter describes the various BIOS settings that can be used to configure your system.

The BIOS section of this manual is subject to change without notice and is provided for reference purposes only. The settings and configurations of the BIOS are current at the time of print and are subject to change, and therefore may not match exactly what is displayed on screen.

This section describes the BIOS setup program. The setup program lets you modify basic configuration settings. The settings are then stored in a dedicated, batterybacked memory (called NVRAM) that retains the information even when the power is turned off.

To start the BIOS setup utility:

1. Turn on or reboot your system.

2. Press <Del> during POST (<Tab> on remote console) to start the BIOS setup utility.

3.2 - Setup Basics

The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.

3.3 - Getting Help

Pressing [F1] will display a small help window that describes the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted item. To exit the Help Window, press [ESC].

3.4 - In Case of Problems

If you have trouble booting your computer after making and saving the changes with the BIOS setup program, you can restart the computer by holding the power button down until the computer shuts off (usually within 4 seconds); resetting by pressing CTRL-ALT-DEL; or clearing the CMOS. The best advice is to only alter settings that you thoroughly understand. In particular, do not change settings in the Chipset section unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing. The Chipset defaults have been carefully chosen either by Leadtek or your system manufacturer for best performance and reliability. Even a seemingly small change to the Chipset setup options may cause the system to become unstable or unusable.

NOTE: The following pages provide the details of BIOS menu. Please be noticed

that the BIOS menu are continually changing due to the BIOS updating. The BIOS menu provided are the most updated when this manual is written. Please visit Leadtek’s website at http://www.leadtek.com for the information of BIOS updating.
