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.

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 elec tric ity may damage the components.

Hardware Setup

CPU (Central Processing Unit)

This mainboard supports dual-core Intel® Xeon® processor 3000 series, quad-core Intel® Xeon® processor 3200 series, Wolfdale and Yorkfield processors in LGA775 package. W hen you install the CPU, make sure that you install the cooler to prevent overheating. If you do not have the CPU cooler, consult your dealer before turning on the computer.

Important

Overheating

Overheating will seriously damage the CPU and system. Always make sure the cooling fan can work properly to protect the CPU from overheating. Make sure that you apply an even layer of thermal paste (or thermal tape) between the CPU and the heatsink to enhance heat dissipation.

Replaceing the CPU

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

CPU & Cooler Installation

When you are installing the CPU, make sure the CPU has a cooler attached on the top to prevent overheating. Meanwhile, do not forget to apply some thermal paste on CPU before installing the heat sink/cooler fan for better heat dispersion.

Follow the steps below to install the CPU & cooler correctly. Wrong installation will cause the damage of your CPU & mainboard.

1.The CPU socket has a plastic cap on it to protect the contact from damage. Before you install the CPU, always cover it to protect the socket pin.

2.Remove the cap from lever hinge side (as the arrow shows).

3. The pins of socket reveal.

4. Open the load lever.

Important

1.Confirm if your CPU cooler is firmly installed before turning on your system.

2.Do not touch the CPU socket pins to avoid damaging.

3.The availability of the CPU land side cover depends on your CPU packing.

2-4

5.Lift the load lever up and open the load plate.

Hardware Setup

6.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.

alignment key

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

8.Cover the load plate onto the package.

Important

Mainboard photos shown in this section are for demonstration of the CPU/ cooler installation only. The appearance of your mainboard may vary depending on the model you purchase.

MS-9656 Server Board

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

11.Press the four hooks down to fasten the cooler. Then rotate the locking switch (refer to the correct direction marked on it) to lock the hooks.

locking switch

10.Align the holes on the mainboard with the heatsink. Push down the cooler until its four c lips get wedged into the holes of the mainboard.

12.Turn over the mainboard to confirm that the clip-ends are correctly inserted.

Important

1.Read the CPU status in BIOS (Chapter 3).

2.Whenever CPU is not installed, always protect your CPU socket pin with the plastic cap covered to avoid damage.

Memory

These DIMM slots are intended for system memory modules.

DDR2

240-pin, 1.8V

64x2=128 pin

56x2=112 pin

Dual-Channel Mode Population Rule

In Dual-Channel mode, the memory modules can transmit and receive data with two data bus lines simultaneously. Dual-Channel mode is enabled when the installed memory capacities of both DIMM channels are equal. If different speed DIMMs are used between channels, the slowest memory timing will be used.

Dual-Channel mode can be achieved with two, three or four DIMMs. To achieve DualChannel mode, the following conditions must be met:

*Matched DIMM configuration in each channel

*Same Density (128MB, 256MB, 512MB, etc.)

*Matched in both Channel A and Channel B memory channels

*Populate symmetrical memory slots (Slot 1 or Slot 2)

Configurations that do not match the above conditions will revert to Single-Channel mode.

Installing Memory 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.

Important

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.

24-Pin System Power Connector: JPWR2

This connector allows you to connect a 24-pin power supply. To connect the 24-pin power supply, make sure the power supply connector is inserted in the proper orientation and the pins are aligned. Then push down the power supply firmly into the connector.

You may use the 20-pin power supply as well. If you’d like to use the 20-pin power supply, please align your power supply connector with pin 1 & pin 13. There is also a foolproof design on pin 11, 12, 23 & 24 to avoid wrong installation.

Fan Power Connector:

CPU_FAN1, SYS_FAN1/2, FRONT_FAN1, REAR_FAN1

The fan power connectors support system cooling fan with +12V. When connecting the wire to the connectors, always 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.
