Slide Rail Attach slide rails on both left and right side of the system and secure them with 4 screws. Rear Rack Mounting Brackets As shown in the picture below, align rear rack mounting brackets with the rear frame of the cabinet. And then, secure 2 brackets with 4 screws to the cabinet on both sides.
3.1.5 Installing the System at the Rack Cabinet CAUTION Remove all the cables from system before installing. CAUTION System can be heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, get help to lift and stabilize the system during installation or removal, especially when the system is not fastened to the rails. ① Lift up the system to place 2 slide rails into the position of the rack. ② Suspend system’s slide from the rear rack mounting brackets pre-attached to the cabinet.
3.2 Installing User Serviceable Component 3.2.1 CPU System mainboard accommodates Socket-F (1207 pin) AMD Opteron TM Processors at 2000 MT (Mega Transfer per second). Follow these instructions to install the CPUs. ① Lift up the socket-locking lever slightly and remove away plastic cover. ② Locate the pin 1 of the CPU socket and pin 1 of the CPU(Marked by a triangular hole in the Pin 1 corner). Put down the locking lever and latch it into the fully locked position.
3.2.2 Memory The system mainboard uses Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM). The memory DIMMs accommodates Registered ECC (400/533/667) SDRAM DIMM and Double Data Rate Memory (DDR2) memory modules in 128MB, 256MB, 512MB, 1GB, and 2GB, 4GB combinations. Total memory size for CPU is up to 32GB. CAUTION The system mainboard has strict memory type and timing requirements.
Memory Installation ① Locate the memory into the socket of the DIMM module ② Make sure the DIMM’s pins are facing down, and check that the pin arrangement on the memory module resembles the one pictured below. ③ Insert the module into the DIMM socket and press down evenly on both ends firmly until the DIMM module is securely in place. (The tabs of the DIMM socket will close-up to hold the DIMM in place when the DIMM is properly installed into the socket.

4. BIOS and Jumper Setting 4.1 BIOS This chapter provides information on the BIOS Setup program and allows you to configure the system for optimum use. You may need to run the Setup program when: z An error message appears on the screen during the system booting up, and requests you to run SETUP. z You want to change the default settings for customized features. 4.1.1 Entering Setup Power on the computer and the system will start POST (Power On Self Test) process.
4.1.
4.1.4 General Help The BIOS setup program provides a General Help screen. You can call up this screen from any menu by simply pressing . item. The Help screen lists the appropriate keys to use and the possible selections for the highlighted Press to exit the Help screen. 4.1.5 Menu Bar Once you enter Phoenix TrustedCoreTM Setup Utility, the Main Menu will appear on the screen.
Power Use this menu to specify your settings for power management. Exit This menu allows you to load the BIOS default values or factory default settings into the BIOS and exit the BIOS setup utility with or without changes. 4.1.6 Main Menu The items inside the Main menu are for basic system information and configuration. Each item includes none, one or more setup items.
System Memory, Extended Memory These items show the memory status of the system. (Read-only) System Time The time format is . System Date The date format is - . 4.1.7 Advanced Menu Items in the menu are divided into several sub-menus. Each sub-menu provides more settings. To enter the sub-menu, highlight the sub-menu you want to configure and press .

Users may also assign a lower memory clock frequency here. z DRAM Bank Interleave Interleaved memory is system memory divided into two or more sections.
z Node Interleave AMD Opteron CPU supports a mode called node interleave. When node interleave is disabled, the memory controller maps the local memory of each processor to a single contiguous range of physical addresses. This allows the operating system to map user data to local memory, whenever possible, to allow programs to access data the most rapidly. When node interleave is enabled, physical addresses are partitioned into 4KB blocks, and alternated among the processors.
z ECC Error Checking This setting enables/disables ECC (Error Correction Code) checking, a method of checking the integrity of data in DRAM. ECC provides more elaborate error detection than parity; ECC can detect multiple-bit errors and can locate and correct single-bit errors. z ECC Error Log This setting logs the ECC error. z Chipkill Chipkill is a new Advanced ECC (Error Correction Code) memory technology that protects servers from system downtime caused by memory failures.
