Central Processing Unit (CPU) The motherboard comes with surface mount 604-pin Zero Insertion Force (ZIF) sockets. The sockets are designed for the Intel Xeon™ processor in ® the 604-pin package with 1 MB L2 cache. The new generation Xeon™ processor supports 800 MHz system bus and Extended Memory 64-bit Technology (EM64T).
Page 21
Position the CPU above the socket as shown. Carefully insert the CPU into the socket until it fits in place. The CPU fits only in one correct orientation. DO NOT force the CPU into the socket to prevent bending the pins and damaging the CPU! M a r k e d c o r n e r M a r k e d c o r n e r...

Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the Advantech website for details. • Due to chipset resource allocation, the system may detect less than 16 GB system memory when you install eight 2 GB DDR2 memory modules.
2.3.3 2.3.3 2.3.3 Installing a DIMM Installing a DIMM Installing a DIMM 2.3.3 2.3.3 Installing a DIMM Installing a DIMM Make sure to unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so may cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components.
Hot-swap hard disk drives To install a hot-swap HDD: Release a drive tray by pushing the spring lock to the right, then pulling the tray lever outward. The drive tray ejects slightly after you pull out the lever. Firmly hold the tray lever and pull the drive tray out of the bay.
Page 26
Carefully insert the drive tray and push it all the way to the depth of the bay until just a small fraction of the tray edge protrudes. When installed, the SCSI connector on the drive connects to the SCSI connector on the backplane. Refer to section “2.7.2 SCSI backplane” for illustration.
Expansion slot The barebone server comes with a riser card bracket installed on the 64-bit expansion slot. You need to remove the bracket if you wish to install a PCI-X expansion card. 2.5.1 2.5.1 Installing expansion cards Installing expansion cards 2.5.1 2.5.1 2.5.1...

Attaching the rails to the rack To attach the rails to the rack: Select one unit of space (1U) on the rack where you wish to install the barebone server. Remove the screws from the 1U space on the rack front. 1U space Align the front end holes of a rack rail pair to the 1U space.
Rackmounting the server To mount the server to the rack: Firmly hold the server on both sides and insert the rear panel side to the front end of the rack rail, then carefully push the server all the way to the back until the front panel fits the front end of the rack, and the rack screws on the server match the middle hole on the rack.
