Page 15: Chipset Overview
Chapter 1: Introduction Chipset Overview The H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ serverboard is based on the nVidia MCP55 Pro chipset. The MCP55 Pro functions as Media and Communications Processor (MCP). An NEC uPD720404 chip is also included as a bridge for the GB LAN ports. Note that the controllers for the system memory are integrated directly into the AMD CPUs.
Page 16: Pc Health Monitoring
H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ User’s Manual PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the H8QM3-2+/H8QMi- 2+. The serverboard has an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors for four CPU cores, Hyper Transport (1.2V), memory (1.8V), chipset (1.5V) The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously.
Page 17: Power Supply
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 20: Installation Procedure
H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ User's Manual Installation Procedure Perform the following procedures in the order listed below to install the serverboard into a chassis: Install the processor(s) and the heat sink(s). Install the serverboard in the chassis. Install the memory and add-on cards. Finally, connect the cables and install the drivers.
Page 21 Chapter 2: Installation Triangle Use your thumb and your index ﬁ nger to hold the CPU. Locate and align pin 1 of the CPU socket with pin 1 of the CPU. Both are marked with a triangle. Align pin 1 of the CPU with pin 1 of the socket.
Page 22: Mounting The Serverboard Into A Chassis
H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ User's Manual Mounting the Serverboard into a Chassis All serverboards have standard mounting holes to ﬁ t different types of chassis. Ensure that the locations of all the mounting holes for both the serverboard and the chassis match. Although a chassis may have both plastic and metal mount- ing fasteners, metal ones are highly recommended because they ground the serverboard to the chassis.
Page 23 Chapter 2: Installation Support The H8QM3-2+/H8QMi-2+ supports single or dual-channel, registered ECC DDR2- 667/533/400 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots (see note on previous page). Populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and type will result in inter- leaved (128-bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.
