Page 16: Pc Health Monitoring
H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ User’s Manual PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8DMT+/H8DMT- INF+. The motherboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that sup- ports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors The onboard voltage monitor will continuously scan crucial voltage levels. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen.
Page 17 Chapter 1: Introduction Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on.
Page 18: Power Supply
H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ User’s Manual Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates. The H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ requires the use of proprietary power supplies. Please refer to the pinout information for the power connectors in Section 6 of Chapter 2 for detailed information on power requirements.

Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Installation Procedure Follow the procedures as listed below to install the motherboard into a chassis. Install the processor(s) and the heatsink(s).
Page 21 Chapter 2: Installation Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket. Once aligned, carefully place the CPU into the socket. Do not drop the CPU on the socket, move the CPU horizontally or vertically or rub the CPU against the socket or against any pins of the socket, which may damage the CPU and/or the socket.
Page 22: Mounting The Motherboard Into A Chassis
H8DMT+/H8DMT-INF+ User's Manual Mounting the Motherboard into a Chassis All motherboards have standard mounting holes to ﬁ t different types of chassis. Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the motherboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the motherboard to the chassis.
Page 23 Chapter 2: Installation Gently press down on the memory module until it snaps into place. With two CPUs installed, repeat step 2 to populate the CPU2 DIMM slots. Always install pairs of DIMMs to both CPU DIMM slots for more efﬁ cient operation.
