Page 22: Mounting The Serverboard Into A Chassis
1. Check the compatibility of the serverboard ports and the I/O shield The H8DCR-3/H8DCR-i serverboard requires a chassis that can support extended ATX boards of 12" x 13.05" in size. Make sure that the I/O ports on the serverboard align with their respective holes in the I/O shield at the rear of the chassis.
Page 23 Chapter 2: Installation Installing the Processors 1. Lift the lever on CPU socket #1 until it points straight up. 2. Use your thumb and your index ﬁ n- ger to hold the CPU. Locate pin 1 on the CPU socket and pin 1 on the CPU. Triangles Both are marked with a triangle.
Page 24 See Figure 2-1. Repeat for the second CPU socket. Note: BKT-0005 is included for use with non-proprietary (third-party) heatsinks only. When installing Supermicro heatsinks, only BKT-0004 (CPU backplate) is needed. The BKT-0005 retention module was designed to provide compatibility with clip- and-cam type heatsinks from third parties.
Page 25: Installing Memory
*With Opteron 246 C-stepping CPUs and above. Support The H8DCR-3/H8DCR-i supports single or dual-channel, registered ECC DDR400/333/266 SDRAM. Both interleaved and non-interleaved memory are supported, so you may populate any number of DIMM slots. However, populating two adjacent slots at a time with memory modules of the same size and type will result in interleaved (128- bit) memory, which is faster than non-interleaved (64-bit) memory.
