Safety information
Before installing and using the B4881V50S4H, take note of the following precautions:
• Read all instructions carefully.
• Do not place the unit on an unstable surface, cart, or stand.
• Do not block the slots or openings on the unit which are
provided for ventilation.
• Only use the power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure about your power source, contact the
power company.
• The unit uses a three-wire grounded cable, which is sup-
plied with a third pin to ground the unit and prevent electric
shock. Do not defeat the purpose of this pin. If your outlet
does not support this type of plug, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet.
• Do not place anything on the power cord. Place the power
cord where it will not be stepped on.
• Follow all warnings and cautions in this manual and on the
unit case.
• Do not push objects in the ventilation slots, as they may
touch high voltage components and result in shock and
damage to the components.
• When replacing parts, ensure that you use parts specified
by the manufacturer.
• When service or repairs have been carried out, perform
routine safety checks to verify that the system is operating
correctly.
• Avoid using the system near water, in direct sunlight, or
near a heating device.
• Cover the unit when not in use.
• Disassembly of this unit should not be attempted by
unqualified persons. When the chassis cover is removed
there is a danger of electric shock and risk of damage to
the system.
• Do not attempt to lift or move this product alone. When
moving this product, at least two people should lift it onto a
suitable trolley or cart. When bolting the product into a
rack, two people should hold the device in place while a
third person bolts the device securely to the rack.

10 Chapter 1: Overview
2.1 Before you begin
This chapter explains how to install motherboard components, including CPUs, memory modules, and PCI cards.
There are also instructions in this section for installing SATA
hard drives.
Careful attention should be given to the precautions mentioned in this section when setting up your system.
2.1.1 Work area
Make sure you have a stable, clean working environment.
Dust and dirt can get into components and cause malfunctions. Use containers to keep small components separated.
Putting all small components in separate containers prevents
them from becoming lost. Adequate lighting and proper tools
can prevent you from accidentally damaging the internal
components.
2.1.2 Tools
The following tools will be required to complete the installations described in this chapter.
Chapter 2: Setting up
• A cross head (Phillips) screwdriver
• A grounding strap and/or anti-static pad
Most of the electrical and mechanical connectors in your system can be disconnected using your fingers. It is recommended that you do not use needle-nosed pliers to remove
connectors as these can damage the soft metal or plastic
parts of the connectors.
Chapter 2: Setting up 11
2.1 Before you begin
2.1.3 Precautions
Components and electronic circuit boards can be damaged
by static electricity. Working on a system that is connected to
a power supply can be extremely dangerous. Follow the
guidelines below to avoid damage to the B4881V50S4H or
injury to yourself.
• Ground yourself properly before removing the top
cover of the system. Unplug the power from the
power supply and then touch a safely grounded
object to release static charge (i.e. power supply
case). If available, wear a grounded wrist strap. Alternatively, discharge any static electricity by touching
the bare metal chassis of the unit case, or the bare
metal body of any other grounded appliance.
• Avoid touching motherboard components, IC chips,
connectors, memory modules, or leads.
• The motherboard is pre-installed in the system.
When removing the motherboard, always place it on
a grounded anti-static surface until you are ready to
reinstall it.
• Hold electronic circuit boards by the edges only. Do
not touch the components on the board unless it is
necessary to do so. Do not flex or stress circuit
boards.
• Leave all components inside the static-proof packag-
ing that they ship with until they are ready for installation.
• After replacing optional devices, make sure all
screws, springs, or other small parts are in place and
are not left loose inside the case. Metallic parts or
metal flakes can cause electrical shorts.
• Always use the correct size screws and fixings when
installing or replacing components.
Note: All connectors are designed to fit one way
only, no force should required to make a
connection.

2.2 Installing motherboard components
This section describes how to install CPUs, memory modules, and expansion cards.
2.2.1 Removing the chassis cover
Follow these instructions to remove the chassis cover. This
step is required before any other procedures in this chapter
can be undertaken.
1. Press the two blue buttons on the release catches and lift the catches. The chassis lid slides back slightly.
2. Lift the lid free from the chassis.
Refitting the chassis cover is a reverse of the removal process. Place the lid on the chassis and push it forward into
place before tightening the screw on the rear of the unit.

2.2 Installing motherboard components
2.2.2 Installing CPUs and heatsinks
This section describes how to install AMD Opteron processors and heatsinks on the B4881V50S4H motherboard and
CPU expansion board.
1. Remove the chassis cover. See Removing the chassis cover on page 13.
2. Remove the optional processor board if it is present, see “Replacing the CPU expansion board” on page 37
3. Locate the four CPU sockets on the motherboard or CPU expansion board.
CPU sockets 1-4
4. Lift the locking lever on the CPU socket to the upright position.

7. Take a new heatsink and remove all packaging and covers from it.
8. Apply some thermal grease to the top of the CPU and place a heatsink on top of the CPU as shown.
Note: All heatsink fans must face the rear of the
chassis to ensure proper airflow.
Chapter 2: Setting up 15
2.2 Installing motherboard components
9. Screw the heatsink to the heatsink retainer as shown.
10. Plug the cooling fan lead into a CPU fan pin header as shown.
Heatsink retainer screws

11. Repeat steps three to seven with the other CPUs.
Note: CPU and heatsink installation is the same
for CPUs on the motherboard or on the
CPU expansion board.
2.2.3 Installing memory
Follow the instructions in this section to install memory modules in your B4881V50S4H system.
1. Remove the chassis cover. See Removing the chassis cover on page 13.
16 Chapter 2: Setting up
2.2 Installing motherboard components
2. Locate the memory sockets on the motherboard or CPU expansion board.
Memory sockets
3. Move the memory slot locking levers to the widest position as shown.
4. Position the memory module in the slot.
Memory sockets
Locking levers
Note: Memory modules will fit in the slot only
one way. Ensure that the notches in the
memory modules line up with the corresponding bumps in the socket.
Chapter 2: Setting up 17
2.2 Installing motherboard components
The locking levers will return to the locked position. Make
sure that the memory module is firmly in place.
2.2.4 Installing CPU expansion board
The CPU expansion board can accommodate a further four
processors and 16 memory DIMMS.
1. Remove the chassis cover. See Removing the chassis cover on page 13.
2. Remove the chassis side panel as shown.
3. Place the HT board guides in place on the motherboard sockets.
4. Position the CPU expansion board in place over the
motherboard. Ensure that the HT cards are located correctly above the HT card sockets on the motherboard.
5. Push the CPU expansion board firmly into place.
18 Chapter 2: Setting up
2.2 Installing motherboard components
Note: Do not use excessive force to push the
CPU expansion board into place. When
properly aligned, the board should slot into
place easily.
6. Secure in place with two screws as shown.
7. Insert two further coutersunk screws through the chassis to secure the expansion board to the chassis as shown.
8. Connect the five power cables as shown.

The B4881V50S4H can be used as a standalone device
when fitted with the plastic feet in the accessory pack. When
used as a standalone device, the feet must be fitted to prevent the unit from falling over.
The four feet should be attached as follows:
1. Each foot consists of two pieces. Insert the round piece of the foot into the other foot section. The small plastic tab on the round piece should fit into the curved slot on the other piece.
2. Use a single screw through the center of the round section to fasten the foot assembly to the bottom of the chassis. The plastic tab that protrudes through the curved slot
should fit into an indent in the chassis case.
When fitted, each foot should rotate about 90°.
