Chapter 1 Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. Keep all components and printed circuit boards (PCBs) in their antistatic bags until ready for use. Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. Do not let components or PCBs come into contact with your clothing, which may retain a charge even if you are wearing a wrist strap.

Chapter 2 Parallel Serial COM Parallel Port Function The standard parallel port (Burgundy) is for interfacing your PC to a parallel printer. It supports SPP, ECP and EPP modes. SPP (Standard Parallel Port) Allows normal speed operation but in one direction only. ECP (Extended Capabilities Port) Allows parallel port to operate in bidirectional mode and at a speed faster than the SPP’s data transfer rate.

EPS12V Power Connectors There are two power connectors on the motherboard of the required EPS 12V power supply. These are not standard ATX connectors. DN800 needs a minimum 460-watt EPS 12V power supply that complies with the Intel Xeon processor power supply design guidelines. Find the...
Chapter 2 CPU/ System Fan Connectors There are six 3-pin fan connectors in the Mainboard. Two fans are used for CPU1 and CPU2; four fans are for system and front. These connectors support cooling fans of 500mA (6W) or less. Depending on the fan manufacturer, the wiring and plug may be different.
Chapter 3 Motherboard Installation This section explains the basic requirements for installing the motherboard in a system housing or “chassis”. Since housing designs vary widely, you will need to consult the housing documentation for specific information. To install the motherboard in a system housing, you will need to do the following: Install a rear panel I/O shield Attach the board to the housing...
D N 8 0 0 M o t h e r b o a r d Installing the CPU and Heatsink Procedures IWILL DN800/DNSV support Intel Xeon @FSB800 MHz processor. We only recommend using the Intel Original heatsink kit. CEK (Common Enabling Kit) is specially designed for the Intel latest Xeon.

Chapter 3 Step 3 — Screw this plate to the chassis you will use to install this motherboard. Please position the case mounting hole of this plate to the chassis, and use four copper standoffs to fix the iron-plate to the chassis. Match the rest screw holes and install the standoffs that come with the chassis.

Chapter 3 Step 7 — Carefully insert the Xeon processor in the socket receptacles, taking care not to bend any pins. Insert the processor Step 8 — Lower the locking mechanism’s retaining lever and secure it in place to secure the processor in the socket. Grasp the processor by the edges and gently pull upwards to insure it is properly inserted.
