All installed memory will be automatically detected. No jumpers or settings need to be changed for memory detection. All memory must be of the same type and density. Different memory types can NOT be mixed and matched on the same motherboard.
3.3 PCIe Card Installation Before installing add-in cards, it’s helpful to know if they are fully compatible with your motherboard. For this reason, we’ve provided the diagrams below, showing the slots that may appear on your motherboard. All installation procedures are restricted to skilled personnel. Only UL listed PCIe expansion cards or PCIe cards with openings less than 5 mm in any dimension are recommended Toutes les procédures d'installation sont réservées au personnel qualifié.
3.4 PCIe Slot Secondary Power Supply The MEC-AI7400SR is equipped with six ATX 8pin EPS +12V power connectors on the mainboard to provide secondary power for PCIe expansion cards if required. Two adapter cables are included. The pin definitions of the connectors and cables are described below.
Onboard LAN LED Color Definition Onboard Ethernet ports have green and Amber LEDs to indicate LAN status. The chart below illustrates the different LED states. 3.6 Login in BMC Web The default IP setting is DHCP. Users can modify the IP in BIOS Menu.. If the BMC is connected to a network, after it get an IP address, it will print the IP address on the BIOS booting screen.
Page 18
Default login account: Username: root Password: superuser When logging into the BMC web interface for the first time, you will receive a reminder to change the BMC login password. If you do change it, be sure to make a record of it to avoid being unable to log in later.
4 Enter BIOS Setup To enter the BIOS setup screen, follow these steps: 1. Power on the MEC-AI7400SR. 2. Press <F2> or <Del> during POST (<Tab> on remote console) to start the BIOS setup utility. Setup Basics The table below shows how to navigate in the setup program using the keyboard.
4.1 Main Menu In this section, you can alter general features such as the date and time. Note that the options listed below are for options that can directly be changed within the Main Setup screen. BIOS Information It displays BIOS related information. Product Name It displays Product information.
