tested and found to comply
with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor­dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the measures listed
below.

† Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
† Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
† Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected.

† Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for help.

Notice 1

The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Notice 2

Shielded interface cables and A.C. power cord, if any, must be used in order to
comply with the emission limits.

Hardware Setup

This chapter provides you with the information about
hardware setup procedures. While doing the installation,
be careful in holding the components and follow the
installation procedures. For some components, if you
install in the wrong orientation, the components will not
work properly.

Use a grounded wrist strap before handling computer
components. Static electricity may damage the
components.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

This mainboard supports the latest AMD® Opteron processor in 1207-pin package.
When you are installing the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to
prevent the CPU from overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, contact
your dealer to purchase and install it before turning on the computer.

For the latest information about CPU, please visit http://www.msi.com.tw/program/
products/server/svr/pro_svr_qvl.php.

Important

1. Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make
sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating.

2. Make sure that you apply an even layer of heat sink paste (or thermal tape)
between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

3. While replacing the CPU, always turn off the ATX power supply or unplug
the power supply’s power cord from the grounded outlet first to ensure the
safety of CPU.

Socket 1207 CPU Installation

1. Locate the first CPU socket. (The CPU
has a plastic cap on it to protect the
contact from damage. Before install­ing the CPU, always cover it to pro­tect the socket pins.)

CPU1

2. Remove the plastic cap from the

load plate. The pins of the socket
reveal.

4. Open the load plate.

3. Raise the load lever up to its full extent.

2-4

Hardware Setup

5. After confirming the CPU direction for
correct mating, put down the CPU in the
socket housing frame. Be sure to grasp
on the edge of the CPU base. Note that
the alignment keys are matched.

6. Visually inspect if the CPU is seated
well into the socket. If not, take out the
CPU with pure vertical motion and
reinstall.

7. Cover the load plate onto the package.

8. Press down the load lever lightly onto the load plate and then secure the lever
with the hook under the retention tab.

The mainboard supports up to 16 Registered ECC DDRII 400/533/667 DIMM slots to
provide the maximum of 32GB memory capacity.

Hardware Setup

Memory Frequency vs. Core Multiplier

The DDRII DIMM operates different frequency when using different CPU. For example,
when using 2.4GHz CPU the DDRII 667MHz DIMM will operate at 600MHz.

Installing DDRII Modules

1. The memory module has only one notch on the center and will only fit in the right

orientation.

2. Insert the memory module vertically into the DIMM slot. Then push it in until the

golden finger on the memory module is deeply inserted in the DIMM slot.

v NOTE: You can barely see the golden finger if the memory module is

properly inserted in the DIMM slot.

3. The plastic clip at each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.

Power Supply

SSI 24-Pin System Power Connector: JPWR2

This connector allows you to connect to an SSI power supply. To connect to the SSI
power supply, make sure the plug of the power supply is inserted in the proper
orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the
connector.

SSI 8-Pin CPU Power Connector: JPWR3

This connector provides 12V power output to the CPUs.

SSI 4-Pin Power Connector: JPWR1

Make sure that you connect this connector with a 5V/12V power supply to ensure
stable operation of the PCI Express/PCI-X/PCI adapters and front panel USB device.

Serial ATA Connectors: SATA_0 ~ SATA_3

SATA_0 ~ SATA_3 are high-speed SATA II interface ports and support SATA II data
rates of 300MB/s. Each SATA II connector can connect to 1 hard disk device and is
fully compliant with Serial ATA 2.0 specifications.

Serial Attached SCSI Connectors: SAS_0 ~ SAS_3

The SAS connector is a new generation serial communication protocol for devices
designed to allow for much higher speed data transfers. It supports data transfer
speeds up to 3 Gbit/s. SAS uses serial communication instead of the parallel method
found in traditional SCSI devices but still uses SCSI commands for interacting with
SAS devices. Each SAS connector can connect to 1 disk drive.

Fan Power Connectors: CPU0_FAN, CPU1_FAN, SYS_FAN1

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting
the wire to the connectors, always take note that the red wire is the positive and
should be connected to the +12V, the black wire is Ground and should be connected
to GND. If the mainboard has a System Hardware Monitor chipset onboard, you must
use a specially designed fan with speed sensor to take advantage of the CPU fan
control.
