B A The motherboard supports Intel® Xeon® 3300/3200/3100/3000 series processors with the Intel® Enhanced Memory 64 Technology (EM64T), and Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® Technology (EIST). Refer to the Appendix for more information on these CPU features. 2.3.2 ® Installing the CPU heatsink The Intel Xeon® 3300/3200/3100/3000 series processors require a specially designed heatsink and fan-duct to ensure optimum thermal condition and performance. Use only qualified CPU heatsink assembly. To install the CPU heatsink: 1. Place the heatsink on top of the installed CPU, matching the screw holes with the heatsink standoffs. Make sure that the heatsink grill is parallel to the nozzle of the chassis fans as shown. Screws Chassis fans 2-8 Chapter 2: Hardware setup 2. Tighten the screws. 3. Peel the adhesive cover of the heatsink plastic cover and evenly attach to heatsink. Heatsink plastic cover The heatsink plastic cover ensures the linear airflow between the heatsink and chassis fans. ASUS RS100-E5-PI2 2-9 2.4 2.4.1 System memory Overview The motherboard comes with four Double Data Rate 2 (DDR2) Dual Inline Memory Modules (DIMM) sockets. A DDR2 module has the same physical dimensions as a DDR DIMM but has a 240-pin footprint compared to the 184-pin DDR DIMM. DDR2 DIMMs are notched differently to prevent installation on a DDR DIMM socket. The figure illustrates the location of the DDR2 DIMM sockets: DIMM_A1 DIMM_A2 DIMM_B1 ® P5BV-M/RS100-E5 DIMM_B2 128 Pins 112 Pins P5BV-M/RS100-E5 240-pin DDR2 DIMM Sockets 2.4.2 Memoryconfigurations You may install 512 MB, 1 GB, and 2 GB unbuffered ECC or non-ECC DDR2-533/667 DIMMs into the DIMM sockets. · Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, we recommend that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. Refer to the DDR2 Qualified Vendors List on the ASUS web site. When installing one or two DIMMs, install the DIMM(s) to the blue slots (DIMM_A1/DIMM_B1). Three DDR2 DIMMs intalled into any three memory sockets will function in single-channel mode. · · 2-10 Chapter 2: Hardware setup 2.4.3 Installing a DIMM Unplug the power supply before adding or removing DIMMs or other system components. Failure to do so can cause severe damage to both the motherboard and the components. To install a DIMM: 1. 2. 3. Unlock a DIMM socket by pressing the retaining clips outward. Align a DIMM on the socket such that the notch on the DIMM matches the break on the socket. Firmly insert the DIMM into the socket until the retaining clips snap back in place and the DIMM is properly seated. 2 3 DDR2 DIMM notch 1 Unlocked retaining clip · · A DDR2 DIMM is keyed with a notch so that it fits in only one direction. DO NOT force a DIMM into a socket to avoid damaging the DIMM. The DDR2 DIMM sockets do not support DDR DIMMs. DO NOT install DDR DIMMs to the DDR2 DIMM sockets. 2.4.4 1. Removing a DIMM Follow these steps to remove a DIMM. Simultaneously press the retaining clips outward to unlock the DIMM. Support the DIMM lightly with your fingers when pressing the retaining clips. The DIMM might get damaged when it flips out with extra force. 2 1 1 DDR2 DIMM notch 2. Remove the DIMM from the socket.
