LAN Port Status Table

The LAN ports have indicator lights for connection status and speed:

Installation and Setup

General Note: Please look carefully at the motherboard; any marking of "1" or a white thick line indicates the 1-pin position.

TMP Interface (Figure 2-1)

Pinout details for the TMP interface.

USB3.0 Ports (Figure 2-2)

Pinout details for the USB3.0 ports.

USB Expansion Port (Figure 2-3)

Pinout details for the USB expansion port.

IPMI Network Interface

If your IPMI is not connected to a network cable, wait approximately 2 minutes. You can press Shift + Esc to skip this screen.

Open your browser and navigate to the IPMI IP address (e.g., https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx). The default login is:

• Username: admin
• Password: admin

The IPMI IP check page displays a status message like "waiting for BMC IP...retry 2". Options to enter setup (DEL or ESC) or Boot Menu (F11) are also shown.

SATA Ports

The motherboard features SATA3.0 ports. 12 SATA nodes can be connected via SAS SFF8087 to SATA conversion cables, supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, and 10.

Memory Installation

To install memory modules:

1. Open the latches at both ends of the memory slot. Determine the correct orientation based on the module's projection.
2. Align the memory module with the slot and press down firmly.
3. The latches at both ends of the slot should automatically spring up to secure the module.

Note: The black memory slot is the primary slot; gray slots are secondary. Always insert memory into the primary slot first, then into adjacent secondary slots. A single slot installation may not pass memory self-test.

Video Card Installation

To install a video card:

1. Remove the baffle plate and screws from the computer case using a screwdriver.
2. When installing, you may need to gently push the retention clip on the PCIe slot.
3. Insert the video card into the appropriate PCIe slot.
4. The retention clip should automatically secure the card once it's fully seated.
5. Use screws to secure the graphics card to the chassis.
6. Install the necessary power cables for the graphics card.

CPU Installation

This section details the installation of the CPU and heatsink.

Installing the CPU and Heatsink Module:

1. Ensure the CPU and heatsink module are oriented correctly. Look for alignment triangles on the CPU and the CPU socket/plastic clip.
2. Mount the heatsink module onto the CPU socket.
3. Align the heatsink's mounting posts with the corresponding holes on the motherboard. Note that some posts may have specific alignment features (e.g., notches, grooves).
4. Attach the heatsink securely using the provided screws. Tighten them in the specified sequence (e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4) to ensure even pressure. A T30 Torx driver is typically used.

Note: Ensure mounting notches are inserted correctly. Attach notches to mounting holes (C, D) and align grooves on the heatsink side (A, B).

CPU Removal

To remove the CPU and heatsink module:

1. Remove the screws securing the heatsink in the specified sequence (e.g., 4, 3, 2, 1).
2. After removing the screws, carefully lift the heatsink module off the CPU socket.

BIOS Settings

The CMOS SETUP utility stores essential system data in the motherboard's CMOS SRAM. This data is maintained by a battery when the power is off. Upon powering on, the BIOS performs a POST (Power-On Self Test). You can enter the CMOS SETUP main screen by pressing the "Delete" key during POST. A hot boot option is available via the "F11" key.

Menu Description: Pay attention to menu items. A triangle indicator (▶) next to an item signifies that a submenu will pop up when selected.
