    It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1 GHz and faster. C2SEA/C2SEE accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifi cations required by the CPU, some are inadequate.

  • Page 20: Versatile Media Capabilities

    I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) With the Intel ICH10 built in, the C2SEA/C2SEE supports I/O Virtualization Technology (VT-d) that enables multiple operating systems and applications to run in independent partitions. Each partition uses its own subset of host physical memory, and behaves like a virtual machine (VM), providing isolation and protection across multiple partitions.

Make sure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both motherboard and chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mounting fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the mother- board to the chassis.

  • Page 23: Processor And Heatsink Installation

    Processor and Heatsink Installation Warning: When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Notes: 1. Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before add- ing, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU LGA 775 socket before you install the CPU heatsink.
  • Page 24 C2SEA/C2SEE User's Manual 3. Use your thumb and your index fi n- ger to hold the CPU at the top center edge and the bottom center edge of the CPU. 4. Align CPU Pin1 (the CPU corner marked with a triangle) against the socket corner that is marked with a triangle cutout.
  • Page 25 Installing the Heatsink 1. Locate the CPU Fan on the mother- board. (Refer to the layout on the right for the CPU Fan location.) 2. Position the heatsink in such a way that the heatsink fan wires are closest to the CPU fan and are not interfered with other components.
  • Page 26 C2SEA/C2SEE User's Manual 8. Repeat Step 6 to insert all four heatsink fasteners into the mounting holes. 9. Once all four fasteners are securely insert- ed into the mounting holes and the heatsink is properly installed on the motherboard, con- nect the heatsink fan wires to the CPU Fan connector.

  • Page 27: Installing Dimms

    Memory Support The C2SEA motherboard supports up to 8 GB Unbuffered non-ECC DDR3@1333/1066/800 MHz in 4 DIMMs, and the C2SEE board supports up to 4 GB Unbuffered non-ECC DDR3@1333/1066/800 MHz in 2 DIMMs. Populating DIMM1A,DIMM2A, and/or DIMM1B, DIMM2B with memory modules of the same size and of the same type will result in dual channel, two-way interleaved memory which is faster than the single channel, non-interleaved memory.

  • Page 57: Technical Support Procedures

    Technical Support Procedures Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end-users, so it is best to fi rst check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services.
  • Page 58 Question: How do I utilize the onboard HD sound? Answer: The onboard HD sound available on the C2SEA/C2SEE can be enabled with the audio driver software that was included in your motherboard package. When activated, sound will be routed through the jacks next to the LAN Port according to the audio connection descriptions listed on Page 2-8.

  • Page 59: Returning Merchandise For Service

    Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Answer: Because the chipset does not support memory remapping, and PCI-E memory requires a great deal of memory, so there is a memory hole located around the 4GB memory address. Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)? Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your system has two connectors to support two drives.
