Chapter 1: Introduction Chipset Overview The Intel E7501 chipset is a high-performance chipset with a performance and feature-set designed for mid-range, dual processor servers. E7501 chipset consists of four major components: the Memory Controller Hub (MCH), the I/O Controller Hub 3 (ICH3), the PCI-X 64-bit Hub 2.0 (P64H2) and the 82808AA Host Channel Adapter (VxB).
Chapter 1: Introduction PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the motherboard. All have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Cores, Chipset Voltage, +3.3V, +5V, +12V and +3.3V Standby An onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously.
Chapter 1: Introduction CPU Overheat LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat tempera- ture. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the warning LED are triggered.
Page 15
Chapter 1: Introduction Microsoft OnNow The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other re- quests.
It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets ATX power supply Specification 2.02 or above. It must also be SSI compliant (info at http://service.advantech.com.tw/eservice). Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise.

Chapter 1: Introduction provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor inter- rupt system.
Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation Static-Sensitive Devices Electric-Static-Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To pre- vent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD.
Chapter 2: Installation PGA Processor and Heatsink Installation When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. Also, do not place the motherboard on a conductive surface, which can damage the BIOS battery and prevent the system from booting up. IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components.
