MSI Special Features
PC Alert™ III
The PC AlertTM III is a utility you can find in the
application CD. The utility is just like your PC doctor that can detect the following PC hardware
status during real time operation:
ö monitor CPU & system temperatures
ö monitor fan speed(s)
ö monitor system voltage
ö monitor chassis intrusion
If one of the items above is abnormal, the program
main screen will be immediately shown on the
screen, with the abnormal item highlighted in red.
This will continue to be shown until user disables
the warning.

Removing the Chassis Cover
1. Press the release buttons and slide the chassis cover forwards.
2. Lift up the cover and remove it from
the chassis.
NOTE:
Before you remove or install any
components, make sure the server is not
turned on or connected to the AC power.
Replacing the Chassis Cover
1. Replace the chassis cover and slide it backwards.

System Hardware
CPU, Heatsink, and Fan Duct
1. On top of the CPU is a fan duct designed to enhance heat dissipation of the CPU.
Lift up & remove the fan duct before installing the CPU.
2. Locate the first CPU socket and raise the lever up to its full extent.

CPU1
3. Locate the gold arrow on the CPU.
4. Place the CPU on top of the socket. Make sure to align
the gold arrow on the CPU with the arrow key on the
socket. Then push the lever down to secure the CPU in
place.

5. Place the heat sink on top of CPU1 and secure the screws on both sides.
Note: The heat sink has to be installed to prevent the CPU from overheating.
6. Follow the same procedures to install the second CPU and heat sink.
Note: To install DUAL CPUs on the board, you must use the same types of
CPUs running at the same FSB frequency.
7. Replace the fan duct.
Note: To ensure proper cooling,
make sure the heat sinks & the fan
duct are properly installed.

DDR Memory
1. Locate the DIMM slots on the
mainboard. Insert the DIMM memory
module vertically into the DIMM slot.
Then push it in until the golden finger
on the memory module is deeply inserted in the socket. The plastic clip at
each side of the DIMM slot will automatically close.
2. For optimal system performance, at
least two memory modules must be
installed.
